Although Xiao Yi was a spy sent by Xiao Jingyue to spy on her, he treated her fairly well, so Qu Ling did not let anyone sleep on the ground. Instead, he called for the Aunt Tao to carry him into the house.

After settling everything, she took off her backpack and gave it to Aunt Tao, "Help me take care of the things inside, I have something to take care of so I'll be going out for a while. If Xiao Jingyue comes over, tell me the truth. "

He didn't know why, but these days Xiao Jingyue acted like she had taken the wrong medicine and kept sticking to her. She could see him wherever she went.

Aunt Tao took the bag and said worriedly: It's so late at night, it's not safe for you to go out alone.

In the past, when Qu Ling was disobedient during Prime Minister Mansion, she could still go and sue the Prime Minister. But now that she had the General Mansion, not only could she not complain to the General Xiao, she had to hide it from the heavens. She could not do anything about Qu Ling.

"This matter is not easy to handle in the daytime." Qu Ling did not even look back as he walked out, "I'll be back after I finish what I need to do, just leave a light in my room."

Aunt Tao was anxious and helpless, but helpless, he could only follow Qu Ling's instructions.

Qu Ling climbed over the wall and left General Mansion, rushing straight towards South Wind House on West Street.

The west street was brightly lit at night, which was also the best time for South Wind House business. Qu Ling was afraid of being recognized, and going in through the walls in the backyard as usual.

Jin Yi came out of Jiang Huo's room with an empty teapot. Seeing Qu Ling who had suddenly appeared, she was so shocked that she could not hold onto the teapot properly, "Miss? "Why are you here?"

Jiang Huo who was in the room heard the commotion, and immediately went out to search for the source of the noise.

Qu Ling greeted them with a smile, "Good evening everyone."

"Elder sister?" Jiang Huo was obviously extremely shocked that Qu Ling would appear here at this hour, "How did you come out?

Qu Ling's smile froze, and she unhappily poked his forehead: Can you not mention him!

Forget about that perverted bastard of Old Titan's, he even called her brother-in-law or brother-in-law, she wasn't close to him, alright!?

Jiang Huo held his forehead and snorted: "I got it, you sneaked out!"

Without saying a word, Qu Ling rolled up her sleeves and threw herself at him to beat him up.

Jin Yi didn't think it was strange. He stood to the side and watched quietly for a while before he pursed his lips and smiled, "Young miss, I'll go make some tea for young master."

Qu Ling immediately called out to her, "Where is Murong Ren?"

"Sir Murong just left the backyard, did you not see when you came in?" When her young miss came to South Wind House, she never went through the main entrance, and would either openly enter from the back door, or secretly climb over the wall from the back yard. No matter what method she used, she would definitely pass through the backyard.

Qu Ling shook her head, she had indeed not met Murong Yan when she came in.

"Go and pour some tea." Qu Ling released the embroidered clothes, grabbed Jiang Huo by the collar without saying a word, and forcefully dragged him into his room, kicking the door shut.

Jiang Huo took back his collar, and jumped to the side to pull apart the absolute safe distance between him and Qu Ling. He puffed out his little face in displeasure, "Why are you becoming more and more barbaric now!"

"Who are you calling barbaric?" Qu Ling glared at him, and extended his hand out, "Are you here with my Jade Scorpion and Blood Spider? "Give it to me."

Jiang Huo curled his lips, reached his hands into his pockets, and felt around for a while before taking out a blood-red spider, passing it over to Qu Ling, and said: "The Jade Scorpion was taken away by Big Brother Murong, he said that he's going to bring the Green Scorpion to the cemetery to find food for it tonight, you wait for him to come back and ask for it."

"Did he say when he would be back?"

"I didn't say anything. I'll be back before dawn anyway."

Originally, the reason why Qu Ling came here was to ask Murong Yan how she came back to the General Mansion after drinking with her at the inn, and to ask Murong Yan to accompany her during her night exploration of the Minister of War Palace. Qu Ling wanted to meet Li Chenxuan before she left.

Now that Murong Yan was not around, he could only let go of all his plans.

She didn't immediately return to the General Mansion, and instead told Jiang Huo about leaving for a period of time. She urged him to stay in the capital and not to wander around, and to obediently listen to Murong Yan's advice.

Unhappily, Jiang Huo grabbed Qu Ling's sleeves and asked, "Big Sister, can't I go with you?"

"Didn't you say that Miao Boundary are not fun?" Qu Ling rubbed Jiang Huo's little head, "Be good and listen to me, I'm going back to do something, not play around."

Jiang Huo unhappily pouted, and turned her head in frustration.

Qu Ling did not bother with him, and went back to his own room.

He slept through the night, and a rustling sound entered his ears. Qu Ling opened his eyes vigilantly, and turned to look at the window.

The person seemed to have noticed that Qu Ling had woken up, he stopped in his tracks and chuckled.

In the next moment, the candle on the table lit up, and a familiar figure appeared in front of her.

Qu Ling sat up and scratched his messy hair, "You're back."

Murong Yan nodded, and didn't go over. He took out a Jade Scorpion from his bosom and placed it on the table, then took out a wooden box from the basket on his waist, "Jiang Huo said that he wanted a Jade Scorpion, so I brought this here. There are enough Bone Eating Insects in the wooden box for the Jade Scorpions to eat for half a month. "

Qu Ling looked at the man's warm face and did not say a word.

Murong Yan smiled gently and said, "I will go back and rest first. You … Be careful on the way. "

She gently nodded her head and remained silent. She originally wanted to ask something, but at this moment, not a single word came out from her mouth.

The moment Murong Yan turned around, she suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood.

Her heart skipped a beat, after looking at Murong Yan from head to toe, she suddenly looked at his sleeves.

At some point, the white sleeve on his right hand had gone dark, and one could faintly see that the color was bright red.

Qu Ling frowned, he pushed away his blanket and got off the bed, then quickly stepped forward and pulled Murong Yan.

The man's body stiffened. He didn't look back as he gently pulled back his sleeves. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

Qu Ling lowered his head, looked at his own palm, and frowned even more.

The two of them had known each other for many years. She was very clear about his skills. Who was it that could actually injure him?

On the rooftop not far away, a tall figure stood against the wind. His long and narrow eyes looked through the open window coldly at the woman who stood by the side of the table in a daze.

Within the Clearwind Courtyard, the lights were on.

Xiao Yi, Xiao Er and the others kneeled on the ground.

The man standing in front of them had a dark expression on his face. It was unknown just what he was thinking. A cold aura radiated from his body.

After an unknown period of time, Xiao Jingyue's long eyelashes trembled as she said in a deep voice, "Get up."

Aunt Tao heaved a sigh of relief, and slowly stood up while supporting himself with both hands.

When she regained her balance and raised her head, Xiao Jingyue walked into Qu Ling's room without saying a word.
