At this moment, Feng Che and Ji Jiuying also arrived at Lihua's room.
"You're finally back! The island lord just came again, and you were inside for so long. I was so worried about you!" Li Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, have you reunited with the Divine Physician Canglan?"
The two shook their heads, and Lihua asked again, "Could it be that you've mistaken me for someone else?"
The two shook their heads again: "She is my mother, but she has lost her memory. We will have to come to Tongxintang again tomorrow."
Upon hearing their words, Lihua's eyes widened. This meant they would continue to stay on Canghai Island...
Sensing what she was thinking, Feng Che said, "Miss Lihua, don't worry, we won't implicate you. You just need to pretend you don't know us."
"Never mind, let's go back first. It's not safe here," Lihua said.
The group returned the way they came, but when they were about to go to Lihua's house, they ran into Zhao Hu, whom they had met that morning.
"Lihua, you're finally back."
"Tiger, Brother Tiger, what are you doing here?"
Lihua looked at Zhao Hu with some doubt, feeling uneasy. She was more afraid that he had already run into her family than that she would meet him here, which would expose her.
“I went to your house and found you hadn’t returned yet, so I waited for you here. This is some fish soup that my mother made, I brought it to you.”
"You...you...you went to my house?" Lihua asked, flustered and excited.
Zhao Hu stood there, stunned, looking at Lihua with a puzzled expression. What was wrong? He had been to her house quite often before, so why was she reacting so strongly this time?
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"N-nothing, you didn't run into any strange people at my house, did you?"
Zhao Hu shook his head: "Your door is open, but there's no one inside."
Then, startled, she exclaimed, "Lihua, could it be that your house has been burgled? Or is the burglar in your house? No, I'll go with you to check it out."
Lihua breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they must have hidden themselves, but when she heard the second half of Zhao Hu's sentence, her heart, which had just settled down, jumped again: "Brother Hu, no, no need. My uncle and cousin are quite capable, and besides, my house hasn't been robbed. You should go back first."
Zhao Hu glanced at Feng Che and Ji Jiuying behind Li Hua: "Alright then, take this fish soup, it's enough for the three of you."
"Thank you, Brother Tiger."
After Zhao Hu left, Li Hua breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally gone. Luckily, they had hidden themselves, otherwise she would have been unable to explain herself.
After arriving at Li Hua's residence, Ji Jiu Ying gave Feng Che a wink, and Feng Che nodded.
"Miss Lihua, it seems someone is coming from over there."
Where?
Upon hearing this, Li Hua panicked and quickly looked in the direction Feng Che was pointing. Ji Jiu Ying took the opportunity to release Hei Xiang Ling and the others from the space.
"It seems like I saw it wrong, it looks like a cat walked by."
Lihua breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest: "Brother Feng, you really scared me to death."
God knows how many times she was on tenterhooks today!
When Lihua entered the gate and saw a group of people in the courtyard, she asked curiously, "Have you been here the whole time? You haven't gone out?"
The group nodded seriously. Lihua was a little puzzled. Her house was neither too big nor too small, but how come Tiger Brother hadn't noticed them all?
"You're not lying to me, are you...?"
"No, actually we have a treasure on us, so even if someone stands in front of us, they won't notice," Shiraisha whispered.
Upon hearing this, Lihua's eyes lit up. She quickly put down the fish soup in her hand and asked curiously, "What treasure?"
"This is it..."
"This is a talisman? It really is a treasure!" Li Hua exclaimed, her eyes shining.
Everyone: ...
Don't you have it here?
"Yes, but very few, and very expensive. I would have to sell fish for several days to afford one Fu Lu."
"So expensive?"
Splash splash—
Bai Lisha poured out all the talismans from her storage ring.
"In that case, we'll give you all of these as payment for our stay here."
Lihua's eyes widened in disbelief. She had never seen so many amulets before, and they were all of high quality. They were practically her gods of wealth!
"This is way too much! What if you need all of this and there's nothing left for you?"
"Not much, not much, don't worry about it, we have more." Bai Lisha waved her hand and said nonchalantly.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. You guys wait here while I go make some more fish soup."
After Lihua left, the group gathered around the table.
"Xiao Jiu, what are you planning to do tomorrow?" Bai Lisha asked curiously.
Ji Jiuying shook her head: "Actually, I don't know either. A Yue did some tampering with her restraints. The main thing is to see if my mother can break through that restraint tonight."
"At worst, we'll just put your mother in our spatial dimension, and then we'll go find Kamakura and settle the score. I don't believe that so many of us can't beat him." Hei Xiangling sneered.
"No!" Yuehua stepped forward to stop him, saying, "You don't understand him. He likes to have backup plans. If we take her away rashly, who knows what he might do? Besides, the lives of tens of thousands of people on this island are in his hands. We must not provoke him easily."
"The only way now is... it would be best if Feng Lan could wake up, maybe that would help him regain some of his sanity..." Yuehua sighed softly as she finished speaking.
"·····"
Before long, Lihua had prepared a whole table of dishes.
"Dinner's ready!"
"Wow, it smells so good! Lihua, your cooking is amazing!"
The four tables in the courtyard were large enough to seat just enough people. As for Gong Mingyue, he stayed in Ji Jiuying's space.
Everyone ate happily, but Lihua didn't touch her chopsticks, her eyes sweeping over Feng Che and Feng Qingxue.
"Since you two are Daoist partners, why is there someone between you and you seem like you don't know each other well?"
Feng Che and Feng Qingxue almost choked on the fish soup. They coughed a few times and neither dared to look at the other. The others stopped eating and watched the two of them as if they were watching a good show. Si Yu, who was between the two, also felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
"Yes, Brother Siyu, why are you sitting here?" Feng Che looked at Siyu with feigned confusion.
Si Yu: ?
All eyes were on Si Yu. Si Yu's face darkened, and she quickly stood up and switched seats with Feng Che.
Ji Jiuying and the others looked at the group, trying not to laugh. Feng Che had no choice but to sit down, giving Ji Jiuying a resentful look.
But the other person rejected his resentful gaze and gave him a gloating smile!
Why aren't you serving food to Sister Feng?
Lihua's voice came again, her eyes fixed on the two of them.
"·····"
Feng Qingxue's face turned so red it looked like it could bleed, and she silently lowered her head.
