Qu Ling did not reveal the slightest bit of panic. Instead, he calmly patted the dust on his clothes and greeted Huo Xinyi like usual: "Boss Huo, we meet again."

Huo Xinyi was startled, he then sighed and laughed: "Yeah, we meet again."

Qu Ling stared at Huo Xinyi's face for a while, then pointed out: "Boss Huo looks not bad, huh."

"Is that so?" Huo Xinyi touched his own face, raised his eyes and looked at Qu Ling, revealing a faint smile, "May I ask why Miss Qu is here today?"

"It's naturally to see you who has come back to life from the dead, Boss Huo." Qu Ling revealed an unfriendly smile towards Huo Xinyi, "Boss Huo, for some strange reason, 'died' at the back door of South Wind House that I had met before. 'corpse' even has the word 'river' written beside it, it almost made me a murderer."

Huo Xinyi was at a loss, "South Wind House back door?"

"Does Boss Huo not know?"

Huo Xinyi's expression changed, his hands under his sleeves were tightly clenched. After a long while, his stiff face finally revealed a smile, and he said dryly: "Really, I forgot, maybe I was just muddle-headed enough to run over."

Qu Ling's eyes flashed, he knew that he could not get any more information out of him, so he pretended to be angry: "Boss Huo almost made me take the blame. When I come to the Treasure Pavilion to buy jewelry in the future, Boss Huo must give me some cheap money to let me go."

Huo Xinyi regained his senses, nodded and smiled: "That's easy to say. Please feel free to come, Miss Qu. "

Qu Ling revealed a meaningful smile, and did not say anymore, and left after bidding farewell to Huo Xinyi.

It was still early, Qu Ling wanted to go check out the South Wind House, but he suddenly thought of something and walked towards the wonton stall that he was used to.

After taking his seat, Qu Ling called for the Lady Boss to order two wontons.

After the Lady Boss brought the wontons over, Qu Ling turned his head and shouted to the people behind him, "Do you want to eat wontons?

Hiding in the shadows, Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment before slowly walking out. Feeling a little embarrassed, he called out, "Madam."

Qu Ling did not speak, and pointed to the opposite side.

Xiao Yi did not move. For some reason, he said, "Madam, it's against the rules."

Qu Ling raised his chin, and coldly snorted: "With me here, I will be the rule!"

Xiao Yi: "…"

Due to the difference between master and servant, Xiao Yi didn't dare to sit down. Qu Ling had to kill two bowls of wontons all by himself, until his stomach swelled up.

On the way back to the General Mansion, Xiao Yi did not hide in the shadows anymore, and followed closely behind Qu Ling. He stared at the back of her head for a long time, and only after waiting for her to reach the General Mansion did he ask: "How did the Madam discover that I was following behind you?"

Qu Ling replied without turning his head, "There's an eye on the back of my head. I saw it."

Xiao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry with this answer.

In the afternoon, Qu Ling did not go out again.

Xiao Jingyue returned from the outside and was not surprised to hear Xiao Mo Xiao mention that Qu Ling had went out to see Huo Xinyi this morning. He only instructed: "This general will be closed up in the secret room tonight, and no one is allowed to come and disturb me. If anyone comes to the manor tomorrow to find this general, they will all say that this general is not here."

Xiao Yi and the Xiao Er nodded and said, "Yes!"

Pausing, Xiao Yi carefully asked, "If Madam wants to look for Master?"

Xiao Jingyue did not answer and strode into the study room.

Xiao Er secretly sighed, and pulled Xiao Yi away. She whispered to him: "Mistress is a person who understands Gu, Master wants her to help."

"You need Madam's help?" Xiao Yi frowned, his face filled with doubt: "Even Godly Doctor Gu couldn't do anything, could it be that Madam is even stronger than Godly Doctor Gu?"

Xiao Er choked on her words for a while, then went back to the door of the study to guard, ignoring Xiao Yi and spitting out the words "there is an expert in the art".

In the evening, Qu Ling woke up. After a simple wash, he climbed over the wall and left the house.

Xiao Yi gloomily followed behind Qu Yan Qing, completely unable to understand why his wife preferred to climb over walls instead of walking through the main entrance.

Just as Qu Ling left the General Mansion realm, the little cyan snake in his arms scurried out, licked her neck, and told her that someone was following behind.

"Be good, let's ignore that fool Dark Guard." Qu Ling returned Green Snake to his chest and walked in the direction of the Treasure Pavilion.

Xiao Yi: "…"

Ma'am, do you dare to speak ill of people, or do you dare to speak softly?

The General Mansion was not the least bit close to the Treasure Pavilion. While regretting that he did not properly learn the Qing Gong back then, Qu Ling bitterly laughed and continued to stride into the alley.

When he reached the back door of the Treasure Pavilion, the sky had just turned completely dark.

Qu Ling found a secluded place to squat, and stared closely at the closed back door of the Treasure Pavilion.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and by the end of the tenth century, the door was finally moving.

With a creaking sound, the door opened a crack, and a slim figure walked out from behind it.

The person wore a black bamboo hat and a black cloak that reached almost to the ground, tightly wrapping around himself.

Qu Ling stared at the man's chest for a while, his eyes lit up, and immediately followed him sneakily.

It was unknown whether the man was going to steal the chicken or touch the dog, but he chose to walk on a road that no one else would walk on, and Qu Ling who was walking around was nearly knocked out by him.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the person stopped in front of a manor. He looked around warily for a while, before walking up and knocking on the door.

Very soon, someone opened the door. The moment that person entered, the door immediately closed.

Qu Ling ran to the door and stared at it for a while. The more he looked, the more familiar he felt that place was.

Thinking about it, Qu Ling suddenly lowered his voice and called out: "Xiao Yi."

After a moment of silence, a tall figure came out from the shadows and said lightly: "This is Minister of War Palace."

Upon hearing the voice, Qu Ling immediately opened his eyes wide, "Why is it you!"

Xiao Jingyue frowned in displeasure, and asked in a low voice, "Why can't it be this general?"
