"Gobang?" Su Qian scoffed. "Childish."
Lu Huan smiled and asked, "Aren't you childish? You were the one who taught me how to play Gomoku."
"How do I remember... there was someone who couldn't learn Go and loved to cheat, always pestering me to play Gomoku."
Su Qian was speechless: "Let's not talk about the past."
Like hot water pouring on a cold stove, Lu Huan's eyes turned cold, and he felt a little annoyed. "Okay, since we don't want to talk about the past, let's play Go."
"Everything is over now, why are we still playing Gomoku?"
She didn't have time to play chess slowly with Lu Huan.
Although she put some medicine in Yan Xuanye's bowl of ginseng soup, Su Qian felt a little uneasy when she thought of the look in his eyes when he drank the medicine.
The look in his eyes seemed to indicate that he had noticed something was wrong with the ginseng soup. But…if he had really noticed, why would he have drunk that bowl of ginseng soup?
"System, open the teleportation door. I want to go back."
The system didn't respond. Lu Huan, confident in his decision, turned away leisurely, "It's just a game of Gomoku. After we're done, I'll have Xiaoyu take you home."
"Really?" She still didn't believe it.
Lu Huan was already sitting at one side of the chessboard, holding a black piece and placing it in a corner, controlling the overall situation.
"Seriously," he said.
"We used to play Gobang all the time. We're friends after all. Even if we weren't together, we finally got to see each other today. Don't you even give me this little courtesy?"
Su Qian: "...You are really as articulate as ever."
Lu Huan raised his eyebrows and looked back at her: "You are not bad either."
He made a "please" gesture, and Su Qian reluctantly moved her feet and walked towards him.
It's strange to say, although she taught Lu Huan the game of Gobang, she usually couldn't last more than seven rounds against Lu Huan. Today, she has already played more than ten rounds and she hasn't lost yet.
Lu Huan wanted to let her go.
Su Qian picked up another white piece and dropped it, "You said before that someone turned that female ghost into ashes. Who was it?"
Lu Huan pretended not to know, "You don't know?"
Su Qian pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know."
"Why do you ask?"
Lu Huan's tone sounded as if she should know who it was, but she had no idea.
"Nothing, I'm just guessing, I don't have any real evidence."
Although he said this, he was actually certain in his heart that only Yan Xuanye would be so nervous about Su Zhao.
Yan Xuanye was vengeful, and when he heard the female ghost say that she would not let Su Zhao go, he strangled her to death.
Apart from Yan Xuanye, who else would be so violent?
Moreover, that person was good at pretending and acting. Compared to himself, Yan Xuanye was even better. He kept Su Qian well in the dark, making Su Qian trust him immensely.
The system asked Lu Huan, deliberately blocking Su Qian, "Since you suspect Yan Xuanye, why don't you tell her?"
Lu Huan: "Rather than telling her in person and having her suspect me of slandering Yan Xuanye, it would be more devastating if I let her slowly discover for herself what kind of person is sleeping next to her."
"When her psychological defenses collapse, that's the right time for me to comfort her."
The system thought for a moment, "That makes sense."
"So...are you going to let her go back later?"
Lu Huan: "Since she wants to go back, then let her go back."
"Aren't you afraid that she will forget about you after she goes back?"
Lu Huan brought Su Qian's self-destructive chess game to the point of resurrection. "I was a little worried at first, but now that I know it was Yan Xuanye who was manipulating these things, I'm not worried anymore."
"He's courting death. His suspicion and possessiveness will push Su Zhao further and further away sooner or later."
"I've been waiting for this day. I have plenty of patience."
Su Qian deliberately lost to Lu Huan again and again, but Lu Huan didn't take advantage of it at all. Instead, he took her to another place.
About half an hour later, Su Qian was already very sleepy.
This time, before she could speak, she heard Lu Huan put down the black piece in his hand and said, "Xiao Yu, send Su Zhao back."
The system responded to him: "Okay."
In less than a moment, the teleportation door appeared in front of Su Qian again.
Before she walked into the teleportation door, she glanced at Lu Huan and saw that he was staring at the chessboard intently. A moment later, Lu Huan overturned the chess game.
Lu Huan raised his eyes and looked towards her with a smile in his eyes.
He didn't say anything, but Su Qian seemed to understand what he meant.
He shuffled the chessboard, which meant that everything had to be opened up and started over again.
…
Su Qian left here as she wished before an hour, but when she returned to the main house in a panic, she did not see Yan Xuanye who was supposed to be lying on the bed.
"strangeness."
Su Qian walked around the room but didn't see Yan Xuanye, so she had to walk out.
The wind was howling at night, and the more Su Qian searched, the more strange it felt.
She had clearly given Yan Xuanye a sleeping drug, so he shouldn't wake up. But now he's missing. Could it be that... the dosage wasn't enough?
And... even the servants were missing. Normally, there were maids guarding the outer room at night, but tonight it was very quiet, with no one there.
Su Qian walked across the corridor and passed by the room where Zhang Yuncheng was recuperating. She even suspected that Yan Xuanye was dissatisfied and wanted to put an end to Zhang Yuncheng again.
But when she arrived at the door, she saw the night maid sleeping. She pushed the door open and looked in, only to discover that Yan Xuanye had not been there.
"System, do you know where Yan Xuanye is?"
The system quickly appeared and gave her a specific direction. "He's in the garden. You can go over and take a look."
Su Qian asked in confusion, "Why is he going to the garden so late?"
System: "You'll know when you go there."
Su Qian walked towards the garden half-believing and half-doubting, but because the garden was mostly filled with flowers, plants and trees, and she didn't bring a lantern with her, she couldn't see clearly, and she always felt that Yan Xuanye was talking to someone.
"Aye?"
Yan Xuanye and the man in black were both stunned when they heard Su Qian's voice.
Yan Xuanye whispered, "You go first."
"yes."
Su Qian looked at the two of them in confusion, and Yan Xuanye slowly turned around.
The man who was talking to him suddenly turned around, with his back to Su Qian, as if hiding something, and strode out of the garden.
"Qianqian? Where have you been?"
