Meng Ling Xuan sat beside her, supporting his chin with his hands as he watched her draw. As his wrist moved, lines began to form.

"I didn't even know that you had that ability."

He had thought that Song Xiangsi knew how to draw clothes and designs, but who knew that she could even decorate clothes? Furthermore, the effects of the painting were breathtaking even for him.

If the design was really done, just looking at the decoration would be too much for the eye to take in.

Not to mention that she would have to set up a small theater.

Song Xiangsi described the situation seriously. Without raising his head, he said, "There are a lot of things that you don't know."

Meng Ling Xuan nodded in agreement. "Yes, in the future …" I'll find out eventually. "

Song Xiangsi did not react at first, but when she did, she raised her head and glared at him. What nonsense!

He poured a cup of tea and took a sip. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Right, you know how to draw this. That map shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

When Song Xiangsi heard that, he stopped writing and said, "I can't draw such a detailed map. I don't have the tools or the complicated layout of the palace."

Meng Huaxuan waved his hand and said, "No, it's that brothel I went to. It's not a big place, so I'll remember it. But I don't know how to draw, so you should be able to do it."

When Song Xiangsi heard this, she did not hesitate any longer and said, "Of course, the more detailed your descriptions are, the more detailed I can draw."

Upon hearing this, Meng Fanxuan immediately laughed. "Fine. Let me describe it to you. Draw it for you."

Song Xiangsi kept the half-finished set up and returned with a clean piece of Xuan paper.

"Sigh, draw first, I'm not in a hurry." Meng Huaxuan stopped her.

Song Xiangsi shook her head. "No need. I just happen to not have any inspiration for the time being. I'll draw yours first. After I finish, I'll study the decorations. There's no rush."

Meng Fanxuan laughed. He looked at her with a hint of fire in his eyes. "Thank you."

Song Xiangsi started to feel uncomfortable under his gaze. However, she was not a shy little girl, so she openly allowed him to look.

Finally, he gave a carefree smile and said, "You don't have to say anything polite. We are good brothers after all."

"Brother?" Meng Fanxuan's narrow eyes widened. He couldn't help but scratch his ears, suspecting that he had misheard. "I didn't hear wrongly, did I? Who's your brother?"

Song Xiangsi looked at him fixedly with a faint smile on his lips: "You."

Seeing her expression, Meng Liangxuan knew she was teasing him on purpose. For a moment, he was speechless.

At last, he smiled in anger and said while gritting his teeth, "You said it yourself. Don't regret it in the future. You don't have to worry about it anymore."

Song Xiangsi was stunned. He had already moved over and put his arm around her shoulders as he proudly raised his eyebrows: "Hmm? "Second brother."

Song Xiangsi looked at him with a dumbstruck expression. She had not expected him to be so shameless …

She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you still draw a map?"

The meaning in his words was that after offending her, he would stop painting.

Seeing that her expression was indifferent, but silent and threatening, Meng Liangxuan rubbed his nose helplessly. He really couldn't do anything about her.

He said powerlessly, "Painting, stop it."

Song Xiangsi nodded her head in satisfaction. She did not even realize that her arrogant and adorable appearance that seemed to have won did not match with the way she had acted in the past.

A trace of affection could be seen in the depths of Meng Fanxuan's eyes.

After the two of them finished their banter, both of their expressions darkened at the same time.

A slow description, a detailed description.

In less than an hour, the painting was completed.

Looking at the map, Meng Ling Xuan couldn't help but praise it. "That's right. It's exactly like that. It's exactly the same as that."

Song Xiangsi stretched out her sore fingers and looked at the map. She said uncertainly, "I seem to have seen this map somewhere before."

"Hmm? Are you sure? "

Song Xiangsi looked at it for a moment before finally recalling something.

In her previous life, when she was at the secret service training base, she had inadvertently looked at a map and found that it had the exact same layout as this building.

This included the location of the rockery and the mechanism on the rock, which was exactly the same as the map and the location of the mechanism he was talking about.

She pointed at the map and asked, "Are you sure about what I said?"

Meng Ling Xuan nodded. "Of course. Although I don't have photographic memory, I've never failed to remember anything that I've always wanted to remember."

Song Xiangsi pointed to the two-story building on the map and said, "Look at this layout. From here, you can clearly see the mechanical fake mountain. That's why you were discovered today."

He was still puzzled. At that time, nobody was nearby, but why was it that they were suddenly discovered?

It turned out to be someone standing guard in a small two-story building nearby.

Song Xiangsi then pointed at the brothel's back door, "And here, there should be someone with a handle."

Thinking of the girl who had stopped him, Meng Ling Xuan nodded. "That's right. She was the one who brought me to the washroom."

Song Xiangsi said, "Even if you weren't discovered by the people on the second floor, as long as you entered the secret passageway, the location of this fake mountain would change. The person holding the door would also be discovered by him from his point of view."

"Their layout is very interesting. They are well-trained, layer upon layer of guards." Meng Ling Xuan's face became serious. This meant that this group of people were definitely not good people.

Song Xiangsi pondered a little, "I keep having the feeling that this is a military training base and only soldiers trained to be this alert. How big of a secret does a small brothel need to be so meticulously arranged?"

Meng Liangxuan also nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's right. The more they hide, the more it means that there's something wrong with them. Now that I think about it, the girl inside must have also been trained."

Song Xiangsi came to a conclusion, "This group of people must have some shocking conspiracy. Otherwise, they would not train so strictly. However, to have the financial and manpower to train such a strong group, they must have some ulterior motive."

Meng Ling Xuan fell into deep thought. He hadn't expected that just a single map would yield such a great harvest.

The way she looked at Song Xiangsi became gentler. "Thank you."

Song Xiangsi was stunned for a moment before she waved her hand nonchalantly. "Why are you saying all this? I'm not used to being polite like this."

Meng Huaxuan didn't say anything. He just smiled at her.

Song Xiangsi smiled and said, "If you keep courting me, I'll be angry. Haven't we helped each other enough?"

She admitted that she was very familiar with him. Moreover, she was willing to help him.

"We're friends, aren't we?"

Meng Ling Xuan didn't correct her. Instead, he nodded and said in a deep, pleasant voice, "That's right, friend."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the map. As he thought of something, his expression turned from gentle to unreadable.

The darkness in his eyes was deep and obscure.

Seeing this, Song Xiangsi asked the question that had always puzzled him, "You didn't come here just to sightsee, right? What are you looking for?"

The more he knew, the more danger he would face.

He did not want Song Xiangsi to be in danger as well.

This time, he was in a lot of danger in Qing He County, so he could face it on his own.

Seeing that he had fallen silent, Song Xiangsi guessed at what he was thinking. Her face darkened as she said, "Don't tell me you thought I was someone who was afraid of death and that I was afraid of being killed?"

Meng Liangxuan hurriedly shook his head. "Of course not."

"If you didn't say it, I would have guessed it. Are you here to investigate corruption?"
