Chapter 71 Why did this Miao people target me so quickly?
Not long after, Chuchun and two little girls came in with steaming hot meals and placed the dishes on the table one by one.
Then, another maid brought a basin of hot water and gently placed it on the shelf.
After everything was arranged, the maids withdrew respectfully.
Chuchun walked to Lan Xiyue's side and whispered softly, "Miss, let's eat first."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue stopped what she was doing, slowly stood up and stretched.
She walked slowly to the shelf and washed her hands.
After washing her hands, Lan Xiyue slowly walked to the table, sat down and began to enjoy dinner.
After dinner, Lan Xiyue did not stay for long, but got up and walked towards Chuxia's room.
Lan Xiyue walked gently to the bedside, checked Chuxia's injuries again, and then applied medicine to her again.
After finishing the work, Lan Xiyue returned to her room.
She placed the prepared scar removal cream in the drawer of the dressing table and put the few remaining herbs back into the space.
Lan Xiyue lay on the bed, closed her eyes and called the system.
"System, system, I treated Chu Xia, why didn't you remind me that the merits have been credited?" There was a hint of confusion and dissatisfaction in his tone.
System: "She was injured because of the host, so the host has no merit in saving her."
Lan Xiyue's face darkened when she heard this, "Can this be possible?"
System: "Yes, host."
Lan Xiyue snorted in dissatisfaction. If she wanted to earn enough merits as soon as possible, it seemed that she would have to open a clinic specializing in treating difficult and complicated diseases. Then, why would she worry about not earning merits?
When she thought of this, Lan Xiyue felt her mind suddenly enlightened and she no longer cared about it.
Opening a store requires money. Lan Xiyue smiled, stood up instantly, and walked out of the room, with a plan in mind.
Last time, due to Mo Liyuan's sudden appearance, she failed to collect the treasures in the warehouse as she wished. Tonight, she must collect all the treasures in the warehouse.
It was late at night, and outside the Lan Mansion's warehouse, the guards were patrolling diligently.
However, they didn't realize that a light figure was quietly approaching them.
Lan Xiyue was hiding in the dark, holding a bottle of hallucinogens in her hand, with a cunning gleam in her eyes.
She gently sprinkled the hallucinogen on the guards, and soon, the guards' eyes became empty, as if they had lost their souls.
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue walked out from the darkness and came to the warehouse door.
She pulled out the hairpin from her hair and fiddled with the lock of the warehouse, and the lock opened with a click.
Lan Xiyue pushed open the door and walked in.
The candlelight in the warehouse was dim, but it was enough for her to see everything clearly. She looked at the warehouse full of treasures and couldn't help but smile.
Lan Xiyue waved her hand, and all the gold, silver and treasures disappeared from the spot as if pulled by an invisible force. After a while, the warehouse became empty, with only dust on the ground and empty shelves.
Lan Xiyue looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction, a smug smile on her lips.
She walked out of the warehouse with a swagger, locked the warehouse again intact, and then patted her butt and left with a swagger.
The night was as dark as ink, the moon was hidden and the stars were concealed. As soon as Lan Xiyue returned to Xilingyuan, she keenly sensed something was wrong.
Lan Xiyue's eyes instantly became alert. At this moment, a man in black appeared in the yard like a ghost and stood opposite Lan Xiyue.
"Who are you? Who sent you?" Lan Xiyue asked coldly without any panic.
"Hand over the things." A low and cold voice sounded.
Dongfang Ming, dressed in black, looked like a ghost in the night, emitting a suffocating chill. His eyes were fixed on Lan Xiyue's left index finger.
Lan Xiyue followed the black-clad man's gaze, looked down, and was shocked. The black-clad man seemed to be looking at the ring on her left hand?
No, how did the Miao people come to me so quickly? How did they find me?
Lan Xiyue looked at the man in black opposite her expressionlessly, with a hint of doubt and vigilance in her eyes. "Something? What do you want me to hand over?"
Dongfang Ming did not answer, but just looked down at the ring again, with a determination to get it flashing in his eyes.
He moved quickly, trying to grab Lan Xiyue's hand and forcibly remove the ring from her index finger.
Lan Xiyue's reaction was equally quick. She turned her body to the side and cleverly avoided Dongfang Ming's attack.
"Oh my god, he really is from Miao?" Lan Xiyue muttered to herself.
Dongfang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect that this woman was so agile that she could dodge his attack.
"The thing you're talking about is the ring on my hand?"
Dongfang Ming did not deny it, his eyes became more determined. Obviously, he came here for this ring.
He attacked again, this time with even greater speed. Lan Xiyue was no pushover either, with her agile figure, she skillfully dodged his attacks again and again.
Lan Xiyue hid while calling the system: "System, how did this Miao people target me so quickly?"
System: "Host, this system doesn't know either."
If Lan Xiyue knew that this person was the monster Dongfang Ming whom she met during the day, and the system didn't recognize him, she would probably say that the system was a scam.
While Lan Xiyue was fighting with the man in black, at the same time, in the study of the Regent's Mansion, Mo Liyuan was uneasy and irritable.
During the day, he listened to the woman chattering as if nothing had happened.
However, there was a fire burning in his heart that was difficult to quell.
That woman kept saying she loved him, but there was no emotion on her face.
Every word she said was perfunctory and empty.
The more Mo Liyuan thought about it, the more irritated he became. He stood up and walked out of the study. He didn't understand what tricks this woman was playing. Did she really love him? Or was it because of his power?
No matter what the reason is, since you have provoked him, there is no way you can escape.
When Tianyi saw his master's appearance, he was confused. It was getting late, why didn't the master go back to his room to rest?
Tianyi took a few steps forward and said cautiously, "Master, it's getting late. Go back to your room and rest!"
Mo Liyuan just glanced at him coldly. The chill in his eyes made Tian Yi shiver and he quickly took a few steps back.
"Well, the master is in a bad mood right now, so I'd better stay away from him and shouldn't go up to him and say anything too much." Tianyi muttered to himself.
Whenever the master is in a bad mood, it is best not to bring bad luck upon him.
Mo Liyuan thought of that woman, wondering if she was asleep at this moment. He flashed and quickly disappeared into the night.
Seeing this, Tianyi wanted to catch up, but his master was too fast, so he had to jump onto a tree in the yard and rest with his eyes closed.
At the same time, Lan Xiyue's battle with the man in black was still going on fiercely.
Dongfang Ming became more and more frightened as the fight went on. This woman was indeed no ordinary person. Her tricky and strange skills were something he had never heard of before, and were completely different from what he had investigated.
