She could sense the "I won't be satisfied until I kill you today" mentality in the young master's tone.
You lustful devil, I'll show you how to be hard for life.
Xie Lingqin secretly reached into her sleeve, and then an extremely thin silver needle appeared in her palm.
"Smack—"
At that moment, on the bed, Young Master Tong suddenly slapped Lanxiang across the face.
"You bitch, are you trying to play dumb with me here? Stop dawdling and get your clothes off."
“Young Master Tong, you are a wealthy young master, why bother arguing with a lowly woman like me? Take it off, take it off now…”
Lanxiang, in a seductive tone, reached out to unbutton her clothes.
The woman's reluctance to speak out was all the more captivating; the faint self-respect hidden in her classically elegant eyes was finally concealed with each blink.
I knew this day would come.
Oh!
I just pray that fate will allow it.
The person under the bed will collect her body, won't they?
"ah--"
Seeing the woman before him, so alluring and beautiful, Young Master Tong, who was about to lean down, suddenly cried out in surprise and jumped off the bed.
Lanxiang was startled and grabbed her clothes to cover herself when the people outside broke down the door.
"What's wrong, young master...?"
"Go away, go away, I feel nauseous..."
Young Master Tong called out to the people who were longing to run there.
It felt like there was a ghost chasing us.
The situation changed drastically.
In the blink of an eye, the courtyard became quiet.
The dilapidated courtyard gate swayed and creaked silently, exuding a sense of desolation.
Then, Suanpizi appeared and went to close the courtyard gate.
Xie Lingqin then pulled Xu Yiran out from under the bed.
"I'm sorry you had to see this."
Lanxiang was already dressed when she got up and bowed to Xie Lingqin, who had crawled out from under the bed, saying, "Thank you for your help."
"It wasn't me."
Xie Lingqin pointed at Xu Yiran beside her, her emotions complicated, "He knows illusion magic and just now he tampered with things."
"No wonder Young Master Tong looked so strange just now."
Lanxiang gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"But if word gets out about what just happened, what will happen to you in the future..."
Suanpizi walked in from outside, looking somewhat worried.
"It's alright. Anyway, I've saved up some money over the years." Lanxiang smiled. "It should be enough for me to start a small business. Besides, there are always some customers who aren't afraid of me and will still come."
As she said the last two words, Banxiang took a step back and looked at Xie Lingqin, "I'm sorry, I've offended your senses, Miss."
"Why did you offend my eyes and ears?" Xie Lingqin stepped forward, raised her hand, and patted Lanxiang's shoulder. "If it weren't for you, if we had been discovered just now, who knows how much trouble would have gotten into. I, Xie Lingqin, will consider you my friend."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Lanxiang visibly trembled. Her previously composed demeanor, even when Young Master Tong was present, now revealed her astounding flattery.
"I already told you, my young lady is different."
Sourskin walked over with a smile.
“If you don’t want to live like this, tell Suanpizi. I have plenty of ways to let you live a clean and honest life.” Xie Lingqin added, “I still have that ability.”
Lanxiang shook her head. "I appreciate Miss's kindness, but this is Lanxiang's day, and Lanxiang knows that."
A sigh crossed Xie Lingqin's eyes, and she said no more. "I won't try to persuade you, but I want to say this: in the face of life, pride and such can be thrown away, because only by living can there be hope."
After Xie Lingqin finished speaking, she waved to Suanpizi and said, "Let's go."
"Bang."
The courtyard gate was opened again by sulfur.
Xie Lingqin paused as she jumped onto the window and looked back.
ah!
It was someone I knew.
Liu Yunzhou.
Of course, he wasn't there to seek pleasure; he was followed by a large group of soldiers.
"Search, search."
The officers and soldiers roared.
"Sir, what are you investigating?" Lanxiang walked out quickly.
Liu Yunzhou frowned and stepped back as he looked at the charming woman. "Just now, Young Master Tong outside said there was a monster here, so I came to investigate. You go stand aside and wait."
"Yes, sir."
Lanxiang nodded tactfully, then stepped aside.
Xie Lingqin then left with peace of mind.
With Liu Yunzhou around, everything will be fine.
...
After leaving those back alleys, Xie Lingqin finally looked at Xu Yiran.
"Alright, Teacher Xu, you can go now."
Anyway, you can't get anything out of her. Besides, he stopped her just now when he saw her use the needle, saying that it would be easy to be discovered if she used the needle.
That was the illusion.
Come to think of it, it seems she still owes him a favor.
Xu Yiran looked at Xie Lingqin and said, "You're just sending me back to the academy like this?"
"Otherwise?" Xie Lingqin was in a bad mood. "Otherwise, I'll still treat you to dinner."
"I can take you somewhere."
As Xu Yiran spoke, she slowly and methodically straightened her clothes, her whole demeanor as fresh and clean as a white cloud on the horizon.
"No need." Xie Lingqin waved to Suanpizi and turned to leave.
“I know about the Heavenly Mystery Hall.”
Xu Yiran's words made Xie Lingqin stop in her tracks, turn to look at Xu Yiran with a strange expression, "What did you say?"
"I know you secretly had someone investigate the Heavenly Secrets Palace."
"Whoosh—"
Xie Lingqin's hand flashed with cold light as she pressed it against Xu Yiran's throat again. "Xu Yiran, knowing too much is not a good thing."
"No matter how much I know, it's all to help you."
Xu Yiran had dark, handsome features, and her smile was as gentle and clear as the purest breeze in the world. Yet, every glance she gave Xie Lingqin a sense of hidden meaning.
