Xia Yi could clearly feel Xiao Linmu's displeasure.

The last time Xiao Linmu had such an expression, he almost lost his life.

She slowly walked forward and explained in a slightly helpless tone, "Just now, that was my aunt. You also saw that she is a difficult person. Living in my house is not a good choice …"

However, Xiao Linmu opened his mouth and said: "I will brew another pot of tea, and this cup will be washed."

Xiao Linmu's eyes were fixated on the cup that Mao Cuilan had used to drink her tea just now.

~ Could it be that Xiao Linmu was displeased because he drank his tea?

Xia Yi thought that she had read a lot of people, but she could not understand the man in front of him.

"Alright, I'll go wash now." Xia Yi held the cup in one hand and the teapot in the other.

"Wait."

Before he could turn around, he heard Xiao Linmu's voice again.

Xia Yi paused, and looked at Xiao Linmu.

"Stop washing, throw it away."

"Alright." Xia Yi responded according to the ancestor's thoughts.

Xia Yi went out to make tea and when she returned, there was one more person standing in the room.

The kitchen was right next door, and Leng Qianjue's appearance was indeed soundless, so Xia Yi didn't feel it at all.

Leng Qianjue was originally speaking to Xiao Linmu in a low voice, but the moment Xia Yi entered the room, he immediately stopped.

Xia Yi placed the teapot on the table, then said: "I'll go prepare the food."

With that, he tactfully left the room.

As Xia Yi's footsteps grew further and further away, until there was not a single sound from him, Leng Qianjue then continued: "The soldiers that went up the mountain last night really couldn't do it. When I floated out, they ran even faster than rabbits and disappeared down the mountain in a flash. Tsk tsk tsk, it was not as bold as little Xia Yi. "

Leng Qianjue's tone was filled with contempt, "Just those soldiers that went up to the mountain last night were not even enough for me to move my limbs. After not moving for a while, I felt that my old arms and legs were about to become stiff, if not because I was afraid of exposing my whereabouts, I would not have used the act of faking a ghost to scare them.

"Where's the Imperial City? What's going on? " Xiao Linmu interrupted him at the right time.

Only then did Leng Qianjue stop his contempt for the physical and mental qualities of the soldiers on the mountain, and answered seriously: "The plan is a success, news was spread from the Imperial City that the Emperor knew of the Dragon King's wrath, and said that the Second Prince was messing around, and in a fit of anger, had him ban his feet. I probably won't dare to do anything rash again for a short period of time. "

"Yes." Xiao Linmu only responded very calmly, as if he had already predicted what Leng Qianjue would say.

Leng Qianjue continued: "Since that's the case, does that mean that Young Master can take advantage of this opportunity to return?"

Xiao Linmu blew gently on the steam rising from the cup, placed it on his lips, sucked in a small mouthful, and then said: "There's no rush."

"Is Young Master planning to return to the mountain for another period of time?" Leng Qianjue asked curiously, "But your body has already been treated, there's no need to continue staying here."

To be honest, after living on the mountain for two years, he had not eaten well, and he had to face two people who looked like wooden puppets. Leng Qianjue was almost suffocating and was having problems.

"If you don't go back, then stay here." Xiao Linmu said.

"This... "Isn't that a bit inappropriate …"

Only now did Leng Qianjue understand why there was an incompatible carved bed in the room. It seemed like this was prepared for their young master.

Xiao Linmu glanced at Leng Qianjue, who immediately swallowed all of his unspoken words back into his stomach.

He knew that his young master had his own plans, and there was definitely a reason for this. Moreover, his young master had always been someone who knew his limits.

"If Xia Yi asks, do you know what to say?" Xiao Linmu asked again.

Leng Qianjue was startled. His young master had never liked explaining things to him, and had specially reminded him about it this time.

He could not understand, but he did not dare to ask, as he knew that even if he asked Xiao Linmu, he would not say anything, so he agreed: "Rest assured Young Noble."

After exiting the room, Leng Qianjue headed straight for the kitchen.

No wonder Xiao Linmu decided to stay at Xia Yi's house for a few more days. If it was him, he would have been able to eat a few more meals cooked by Xia Yi.

Just now, Xia Yi did not pour the tea leaves away, as that dragon well before the rain was not cheaper than the sculpted bed in the house.

She didn't know who Xiao Linmu was, but from Xiao Linmu's display of having a bed and having good tea leaves, he definitely wasn't an ordinary person.

But Xia Yi did not care about all this, she only cared about whether the Longjing chicken pieces that were stewed in the wok would taste real or not.

"Little Xia Yi, what are you cooking now? Why do I smell tea all over the kitchen? " Leng Qianjue walked over and removed the lid, the fragrance of the tea becoming even stronger.

"Chicken pieces can be stewed with tea?" Leng Qianjue felt that Xia Yi's idea was extremely novel.

Xia Yi replied: "Tea leaves can remove the oil, eliminate the fat, and use the meat made from the tea leaves to preserve the fragrance of the tea leaves, but not the taste."

"I didn't expect Little Xia Yi to know so much." Leng Qianjue said.

Xia Yi only smiled and did not answer. She was only living in a better era, with advanced science and technology, easy to access to information, and access to all sorts of information. As long as she was willing to study, she would be able to obtain what she wanted.

"Uncle Leng, can I ask you a question?" Xia Yi intentionally lowered her voice.

"Ask away." Leng Qianjue's gaze did not shift away from the pot. He was filled with curiosity towards the chicken that Longjing had stewed.

"Do you know how many days Mu Lin plans to stay in my house?"

"Mu Lin?" Leng Qianjue reacted for a moment before turning around. She asked Xiao Linmu, "Are you talking about my young master? Possible... Probably... I might have to stay for a while. "

With the bed already bought, he didn't think that Xiao Linmu would leave in a short period of time. Fortunately the danger to his safety had been eliminated, even if Xiao Linmu lived at the foot of the mountain or was seen by others, there shouldn't be any big problems.

"Eh …" Glimmers danced in Xia Yi's eyes.

Leng Qianjue knew that Xia Yi was hiding something and could only say, "Little Xia Yi, you saw it too. With so many soldiers coming up the mountain last night, there must be something wrong with the mountain. You pitied him. Besides, he definitely will not stay here for nothing. "

"…" Hearing Leng Qianjue's words, Xia Yi suspected that she had heard wrongly. Was the person who was said to be in such a pitiful state, Leng Qianjue? Why didn't she see it at all?

"But as you can see, there are only a few rooms in my house, and not so many people." Xia Yi said.

Leng Qianjue said: "Only my Young Master lives here, it's enough."

Leng Qianjue actually wanted to stay there, it was more convenient to eat, but thinking of how cold Xiao Linmu's gaze was, he decided to just forget it.

Xia Yi finally understood. She had already made clear arrangements a long time ago, what else could she do other than agree?

Out of respect for money, she could only let Xiao Linmu stay here for the time being.
