Furthermore, the ground outside the threshold was paved with blue bricks, while inside the threshold it was paved with jade, which shows how luxurious the life of the people who once lived here was.
"Sour shrew, is this the place where Xu Yiran used to live?"
Bai Yu expressed deep doubt.
Suanpizi's expression tightened slightly. He shook his head when he met Baiyu's gaze. "I can swear on my family's swindling and deceitful methods that this place used to be a junkyard. Everyone in the Heavenly Mystery Hall said it was a junkyard. Apart from the servants, almost no one came here, let alone the Hall Master."
"But the truth is, this is not a storage room at all. Look at these marks. You can see the light dust on the table. People lived here at least ten days ago."
Nie Zuier, having experienced the ways of the world for so long, saw through it at a glance and stepped forward to examine it more closely for a while.
"Sister-in-law, why are there mirrors all over the room?"
Bai Ling, on the other hand, was more naive. She looked around and saw herself reflected in every angle, finding it all quite strange.
Her words immediately caused Nie Zui'er, Bai Yu, and Suanpizi to tense up.
None of the three were naive or ignorant.
If a person can install mirrors on all four sides of their house, it can only mean two things: first, that person is extremely beautiful, to the point of being sickly; second, that person lives a very careful and cautious life.
"fear death."
Nie Jiu'er pointed out the true emperor in one sentence. She was more inclined to believe the latter. She then looked around and said, "Only someone who is afraid of death but has offended many people could make his house like this. Because of this, he can always see if there is anyone behind him, if anyone is holding a sword and wants to kill him."
Nie Zuier's tone was unusually serious, which startled Bai Ling, who immediately shrank behind Bai Yu, "Brother."
"But don't worry, it seems this person doesn't plan to live here anymore. Look, this cabinet is completely empty, so it's obviously deserted."
"Who exactly lives here?" Suanpizi really couldn't figure it out.
"No matter who it is, they must be related to your Lord Xu."
Nie Zuier chuckled, her beautiful eyes sparkling with seductive light.
Bai Yu subtly blocked Nie Zuier's view, preventing her from looking at Suanpizi.
"A deadly sight."
Nie Benwo was incredibly clever and had seen countless people. He could glean what Bai Yu was thinking from a single, subtle movement. So, he twisted his waist and walked out.
Bai Yu's face suddenly felt hot.
"Hey, what did you call me just now?"
Nie Zuier belatedly turned around and looked at Bai Ling.
"Call her sister-in-law."
Bai Ling blurted it out, and Bai Yu couldn't stop her in time.
"No, she just made that up herself," Bai Yu quickly corrected.
"What do you mean by 'talking nonsense'? You were the one who said it, but you insisted that I call you that. Why are you hiding like a coward now, brother? Can't you be a little more dignified? You're usually like a manager, but you're like a mouse seeing a cat in front of your sister-in-law. And you're always blushing. You're really disgracing the Bai family."
"you……"
Bai Yu's face turned even redder after being rebuked by her younger sister. Her heart was pounding in her chest. She raised her hand and said, "You, you, you... if you keep talking nonsense, I'll send you away as soon as possible."
"See? You're even stuttering now."
"you……"
Bai Yu was rendered speechless by her naive younger sister's retort.
Nie Zuier just watched the show from the sidelines.
"Um, Manager Bai, if you're done arguing, could you please help me channel my internal energy to heal me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slid down the wall.
Bai Yu immediately helped him up, saying, "Come on, for the sake of my good brother Nan Lingqin."
Good brother...
All right.
This is a joke that idiots wouldn't understand.
“We’ll settle down here for a few days to avoid trouble. However, I still have deep doubts about the people who used to live here. What kind of people would live here?”
"Perhaps, only Xu Yiran really knows."
"Or perhaps Sister Qin knows who it is. Let's avoid this for a few days and then talk about it."
...
At this very moment, in the distant Southern Qi, the man in black robes gazed at the moonlit sky, his face somber.
He had heard about what happened in Beirong. He thought he had left everything to Nan Lingqin and would give the Yun clan an explanation to her mother, but he never expected things to turn out this way.
The royal family of Taipei was shrouded in such a scandal.
And Yuwen Yao actually did this for Nan Lingqin.
Thinking of something, the man in black robes entered the room, picked up a pen, laid it on the table, and began to write something. He wrote a long, flowing piece of paper before putting it away, folding the paper, putting it in an envelope, sealing it with sealing wax, and setting it down.
After glancing at the letter again, the man in black robes took off his clothes and got into bed. He closed his eyes and pondered. Suddenly, his expression changed. A long sword shot out from under his bed and pierced his chest, instantly immobilizing him.
The speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to know who had attacked him. Then, he felt a pair of hands reach out from under the bed and reach towards his brow. In an instant, a light mist emanated from between his brows and entered those hands.
This was devouring his Cloud Clan power. At the same time, the man slowly raised his head, exposing his face to him.
"You...you..."
The man in the black robe only managed to utter the word "surprise" before closing his eyes.
There was one thing he hadn't told Nan Lingqin back then.
That is, when someone possesses the spiritual arts of the Cloud Clan and forges it to its ultimate level within their body, they can take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness to absorb the opponent's spiritual arts, thereby strengthening themselves. At that time, even without her understanding the mysteries of the Cloud Clan, the opponent can do so.
