Chapter 390 I Don’t Want to Owe Favors to Others
On the other side, Yan Qingqiu had already had breakfast. As usual, he went outside for a walk, but still to no avail. He did not come back until noon, and saw a maid outside bringing food.
Xiaochun was the first in line. She stood in the courtyard and said, "Mr. Li, it's time for lunch. Please open the door."
Yan Qingqiu walked over and asked, "Why, his room door has been closed?"
Xiaochun blushed and lowered her eyes, saying, "No, she didn't even have breakfast today. She must have been sleeping soundly, so I didn't bother her."
This was unlikely. Yan Qingqiu knew Li Rongsen well. He knew that he had a very regular schedule and never slept until noon. He walked over and knocked on the door, saying, "Li Rongsen, open the door."
There was no movement in the room.
Yan Qingqiu knocked on the door three more times and shouted, "Li Rongsen, what are you doing? Open the door. I'm hungry."
But Li Rongsen still didn't come out.
This made Yan Qingqiu feel uneasy. He kicked the door open and when he walked in, he smelled a fragrance. This was no ordinary fragrance. He looked around and found a small stove on the table. He walked forward and opened it. There was incense ash inside. It was indeed the smell coming from this thing.
Yan Qingqiu hurriedly looked at the bed in the inner room and found it empty, with no one there.
At this moment, he found himself being hugged by someone. He quickly turned around and saw that it was Xiaochun. Her face flushed, probably because she smelled the fragrance here. She said to him, "I suddenly figured it out. I am willing to go with you."
Yan Qingqiu took her hand away and said, "Why did you come in? Get out now."
"Maybe Mr. Li didn't sleep here at all last night." Xiaochun looked shy and touched Yan Qingqiu's chest randomly.
Yan Qingqiu felt nauseous, but he patiently asked, "Do you know anything?"
"The master came to see him last night." Xiaochun said as he was about to get closer to Yan Qingqiu's face.
Yan Qingqiu pushed her away with a palm and hit her on the head. She slid to the ground like a puddle of mud and lost consciousness.
Yan Qingqiu strode out of the house. He first went to a maid, picked up two big buns from the plate in her hand, and went straight to Lingxian while eating them.
Lingxian was meditating and practicing in the house when she heard a commotion outside the yard. She immediately stopped practicing and went out to see what was going on. It turned out that it was Yan Qingqiu who was causing trouble.
Yan Qingqiu had already thrown all the maids in the courtyard to the ground, strode towards Lingxian, and said, "Hand over Li Rongsen!"
"What do you mean? How can I hand him over?"
"You are also a well-known figure. I heard that you have taken over everything here recently. How could you use such a despicable method as throwing incense to get a man? Do you still have dignity?" Yan Qingqiu scolded her very rudely.
Lingxian's face turned pale and blue, and she said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. He and I were both fine yesterday and we didn't meet."
Yan Qingqiu sneered and said, "I didn't bring the incense burner here to show you because I wanted to give you some face. Could it be that someone else donated it? They might not have the courage to do it."
"I have been tolerant of you again and again, please don't push your luck." Lingxian clenched his fists.
"Hand over Li Rongsen, otherwise no one will have a good life." Yan Qingqiu said as he waved his fist. The energy in his fist rushed straight to the ground, shattering a piece of the ground.
Lingxian placed her hands on her chest. She was not someone to be trifled with, so she immediately swung her hands towards Yan Qingqiu.
Yan Qingqiu did a backflip and dodged easily, then began to mobilize energy and throw it towards Lingxian, directly shaking the house behind her.
"You are really too arrogant." Lingxian thought that she didn't need to be polite to him anymore.
Yan Qingqiu also used all his strength to fight with Lingxian. The two fought fiercely, and the sand and rocks were flying around, and the trees on the side were all dancing wildly.
But this is Lingxian's territory after all, and many guards came over and worked together to control Yan Qingqiu.
Yan Qingqiu flipped over and knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He said, "Hand over Li Rongsen immediately!"
"I didn't hide him."
"Then where will he be?" Yan Qingqiu asked her.
"How should I know?"
"You have always coveted him, and this time you want to monopolize him. Now you say you don't know, but I don't believe it." Yan Qingqiu was sure that Lingxian had hidden the person. He couldn't lose An Yan and Li Rongsen at the same time.
Lingxian signaled the guards to withdraw and said to Yan Qingqiu, "This is my place. I'm not afraid that he will escape. Why would I hide him? It's ridiculous."
"I just want to see him safe and sound." Yan Qingqiu gritted his teeth.
"You run around everywhere and inquire about things every day, how do you know that he didn't run away long ago?" Lingxian asked him. She knew very well that these two men were looking for An Yan all day long.
It is because I know they can’t find it that I let them do whatever they want.
Yan Qingqiu thought about it carefully and it was not completely unreasonable, but they had an agreement that they would have lunch and dinner together, and it was also the time for them to come back to report on their work. It was impossible for him to not see him for no reason.
"Go back and wait for him." Lingxian said.
Yan Qingqiu raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Maybe you locked him up and then used threats or bribes, or maybe you came up with some other method. I really don't believe that you didn't hide him."
"I said no, and that's it."
"Didn't you hide An Yan?" Yan Qingqiu asked her, and then said, "If you hadn't hidden her on purpose, how could Li Rongsen and I not have been able to find her?"
"That's because you are incompetent. You should reflect on yourselves." Lingxian said as he went back to his room and closed the door with a wave of his sleeves.
Yan Qingqiu knew that he would suffer a loss if he continued to fight with Lingji, so he had to go back to his own yard first. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he blamed himself, wondering why he had lost Li Rongsen again.
We just need to find two people right now.
And those two people are together.
Seeing that it was noon, An Yan scattered a handful of Youyue grass seeds into the soil, and then carefully covered it with soil, waiting for the seeds to sprout and bloom when the moon came out at night.
Although Li Rongsen felt better, he always felt as if something was missing. He got up from the couch, walked outside the house, and sat on a chair on the corridor.
When An Yan saw him coming out, she said, "Don't move. Go back and lie down."
“I always feel like something is missing, but I don’t know what.”
"I will go to the forbidden area again at night, you don't have to worry." An Yan said to him.
"Don't go. I heard from grandma that it's very dangerous." Li Rongsen said.
"The Soul-Binding Grass can be hidden. After you've eaten it for the first time, you must take it every day, otherwise it will backfire." An Yan told him the truth, and then said, "Besides, I snatched the Soul-Binding Grass from someone else. I still have to deal with the matter on the other side, otherwise that person will probably be in trouble."
"Do I have to take this herb for the rest of my life?" Li Rongsen was surprised.
"Yes, right now, but you won't have to be afraid as long as you go back to Xicheng. I have another way to cure you, so you don't have to worry." An Yan signaled him not to be nervous.
Li Rongsen frowned and said, "You'd better not go. I don't want to owe you a favor."
An Yan was startled at first, then looked up at him, realizing that he wanted to keep a certain distance from her. While washing her hands, she said to him, "I'm not doing this for you. You don't need to feel any psychological burden."
"Then what are you doing this for?" Li Rongsen asked. He wanted to find out, otherwise he would not be able to accept her kindness.
