Qu Ling'er had never been looked down upon like this in her entire life; Lan Linxue was absolutely the first person to do so.
Seeing Lan Linxue lying arrogantly on the ground, Qu Ling'er reached out and grabbed a soft ribbon on her body, but Qu Feng'er grabbed it.
"Ling'er!" Qu Feng'er gave Qu Ling'er a warning look. Qin Kou'er hadn't spoken yet, and they absolutely couldn't act recklessly.
Qin Kou'er glanced back at the two sisters and sighed inwardly. If Lan Linxue didn't give her an answer today, this matter wouldn't be over tonight. She knew these two sisters very well; they would settle any debts and avenge any grudges! At this crucial moment, it was really not worth creating any resentment over these things.
Qin Kou'er laughed and patted the person next to her, saying to Lan Linxue, "Sit up and tell me how you figured it out."
"Why should I tell you?" Grandpa Lan lazily closed his eyes, intending not to give Qin Kou'er any face.
Qin Kou'er knew that Lan Linxue was always willful and capricious. If she didn't give him some sweetness, this arrogant young master probably wouldn't be able to keep quiet for several days.
"This Shrine of Heroic Women is one of my secret branches. You're right, wherever there are many ghosts and spirits, there's something fishy going on! The Shrine of Heroic Women has many secrets, and more importantly, it contains a lot of gold and silver treasures. If you tell me how you figured it out and found the mechanism to get into my treasure room, I'll give you half of the silver as your fee. However, I think the Crown Prince, who is rich enough to rule the world, definitely wouldn't care about my little bit of private money. Forget it, I'll just go to sleep! You two should go back too, and guard our silver so those wolves don't steal it."
As she spoke, Qin Kou'er straightened her clothes and collapsed next to Lan Linxue.
Upon hearing that Qin Kou'er's private savings were among the money, Lan Linxue immediately opened her eyes, sat up abruptly, and pulled Qin Kou'er up as well.
"Who said I look down on you! Get up!"
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue with amusement and said teasingly, "Oh, I didn't expect that! It turns out that our Crown Prince also likes money!"
"That's right! Who would complain about silver being too hard to handle!" Lan Linxue said without feeling ashamed or embarrassed at all.
"Alright, then tell me how you figured out there was something wrong with those two?" Qin Kou'er said, pointing to the Qu sisters.
Lan Linxue glared at the two of them disdainfully and said lazily, "What's so difficult about that! First, on a rainy day like this, in such a remote place, for two women to spend the night in a haunted shrine, it's obvious there's something fishy going on. Since normal people wouldn't do such a thing, logically speaking, if it's not a ghost, it must be a robber—or a wicked ghost that's after women!"
"Pah! You look like a vixen, who knows who will rob whom!" Qu Ling'er glared fiercely at Lan Linxue with sharp teeth.
Lan Linxue ignored Qu Ling'er and continued, "Secondly, since it's a ghost, and you said there's no shadow on the ground, and that evil spirits lock souls, then of course there's no shadow on the ground. Since there's no shadow, it must be an illusion."
But look, I sprinkled some sulfur, and those two 'evil spirits' didn't even flinch, let alone dodge or panic. And more importantly, look at the powder around them—there are traces. Their lightness skills are unparalleled, yet they still left faint marks. And the areas they covered up didn't have a trace of sulfur at all. This proves they are physical beings. So what about demons and monsters? Pah!
Aside from looking like a ghost, he has absolutely no ghostly aura!
As she spoke, Lan Linxue gave the other person a disdainful look.
"But how did you connect them to me? I didn't say anything!" Qin Kou'er was a little confused about this.
Lan Linxue's eyes widened immediately. "You have the nerve to say that! That's the most suspicious thing! Qin Kou'er, who am I to you? I'm the Crown Prince you've been scheming for ten years! You'd just stand by and watch me be seduced by two vixens? What's more, you didn't even say a word when I attacked them. If I couldn't tell they were sent by you, I'd be a complete idiot! Using seductive arts? Bah! Qin Kou'er, I'll deal with you sooner or later. I'll show you who's in charge in our family!"
Qin Kou'er nodded: "That's true. I just wanted to test you out, I didn't really intend to do anything! But to be honest, I've never seen a man who can actually use his brain when he sees the Qu sisters. You're definitely a special one. Okay, I lose this round. You can start looking for money next round!"
Lan Linxue looked at Qin Kou'er, then suddenly stood up, walked to the statue and looked at it for a while. Then, she suddenly reached out and pried open the statue's eyes with her two hands reaching for the pearl.
"I'll show you! I'll gouge your eyes out!"
