Bai Yu could hear her older sister snoring softly from behind the door. She smiled and turned to walk towards Fang Jinxiu and the others.
"Are you sure you saw a group of men in black coming towards us"
Fang Jinshui knew Bai Yu had begun to doubt the truth in her words, and she let out a sneer.
"I'm not that bored to stay up all night playing pranks."
"Believe it or not."
Since Bai Xuan was fine, Fang Jinshi felt much more at ease. She took Zong Yu's hand and turned to leave, returning to her own room.
Bai Yu stood there in thought for a long time. Lady Fang had no grievances with them, and she even liked Bai Xuan. She bore them no ill will and would naturally not do such a pointless thing.
After much deliberation, Bai Yu turned around and returned to her elder sister's room, knocking softly on the door.
Bai Xuan hadn't fallen asleep completely. This time, she opened the door quickly, but her expression was much more impatient than before.
"Ayu, are you ever going to stop"
"Please let me sleep well, I'm so tired."
"Can you just tell me everything at once"
Bai Yu suddenly showed a look of fear.
"Sister, I'm afraid."
Bai Xuan was as if she had heard something unbelievable, her eyes widened all of a sudden, and many sleep bugs ran away.
"What did you say"
Bai Yu widened his usually cold eyes as much as he could, trying to appear innocent.
"I want to sleep with you tonight. I'm scared."
After he finished speaking, he raised his foot to step into her room. Bai Xuan finally reacted and hurriedly blocked the doorway with her body.
"No no no, that's not alright!" Her pretty face flushed red.
"Why not We haven't slept on a shared bed less than others since we were kids, have we"
After all, Bai Yu was a man. Bai Xuan's resistance was utterly useless against him. He easily pushed his way in and naturally settled onto the narrow bed outside.
Bai Xuan hurriedly ran over and pulled on his sleeve to help him up.
"No, no, it still won't work."
"You said it was when you were a child. Now you're grown, and you still sleep with your older sister If people find out, no woman will ever want to marry you."
Hearing Bai Xuan's reason, Bai Yu didn't know whether to be angry or amused.
"I'm only worried that I don't have a wife"
"Bai Xuan, you are a woman. A woman's reputation is far more important than a man's fame. You don't worry about yourself, but only about me"
When Bai Yu spoke, the deep affection in her eyes was almost uncontrollable, staring intently at Bai Xuan.
But Bai Xuan was a clueless girl, especially when it came to matters of love and romance. She was far behind her peers in terms of understanding these things.
She only felt that Ah Yu's eyes looked at her strangely tonight, and her heart beat faster than usual when she met his gaze. It made her too embarrassed to look into her younger brother's eyes.
Bai Xuan turned her head away, shifting her gaze elsewhere as she spoke.
"What use does a short-lived wretch like me have for such pristine reputation Didn't Master Tianfang say I wouldn't live past twenty"
But you are healthy, of course I value Ah Yu's reputation more.
Ba Yu's jaw tightened, her lips pressed into a straight line.
He stood up and walked in front of Bai Xuan, the pressure was immense.
"Everyone says the words of that bald donkey are unreliable! Who said you wouldn't live past twenty!"
"As long as I'm here, you'll live a healthy life. Thirty, forty, fifty years old, even a hundred years old! I won't let anything happen to you."
When Bai Xuan heard her younger brother's domineering declaration, she was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"Longevity That'd make you a monster."
"I wouldn't want to live that long. People get all wrinkly and saggy when they get old, it's hideous."
"I don't want to see that ugly side of myself."
Bai Yu's eyes dimmed, "You're not ugly at all. Even as you get older, you're the most beautiful old woman."
Bai Xuan was so happy with her younger brother's words that she blossomed. She nodded happily.
"Well, since you're afraid to sleep alone, then stay here and sleep."
"Fortunately, it's night now and no one can see us. Tomorrow morning, before anyone wakes up, you must leave early and don't get caught, alright"
Looking at her elder sister, who was so innocent and always planning for him, Bai Yu couldn't bring himself to smile.
"Well, you should go to sleep now."
Fang Jinshu returned to the room and the more she thought about it, the more something felt wrong.
"If those people weren't after Bai's siblings, then what were they doing there"
Besides the siblings' house, there was just a vast forest. It couldn't be that they were out hunting in the middle of the night, could it
"If you can't figure it out, just go to sleep. If they really want to do something, they'll always leave clues."
Fang Jinshu thought about it, and besides, after her reminder, Bai Yu should be more careful about Bai Xuan's safety, so she didn't need to worry about it anymore.
Okay, go to sleep.
After the guest rooms returned to a state of quiet, Jiang Chuang led his subordinates back to his residence.
"Master, that was a perfect opportunity to strike just now. Why did you hide"
Jiang Chuang frowned and strode into the room, taking off his nightclothes without a word.
"Master, the time Lord Xiang has given us is not much. If we can't complete the task soon, I'm afraid Madam..."
Jiang Chuang's anger was visibly swelling, his face darkening to a terrifyingly ominous hue.
"That kind of thing, it's not your place to remind me about!"
"My lord, please forgive me. It's just that I was worried."
"Worried about what Worried that I can't finish the task and make him happy"
"Who are you under!"
When Jiang Chuang flew into a rage, the people behind him followed suit and knelt on the ground.
"My lord, please forgive me. I dare not."
These people were his close confidantes, born and died with him. Of course he knew they wouldn't betray him, but what his subordinates reminded him of was also right.
Tomorrow will be the last day of the grand assembly for talent. If he still hasn't completed his task and brought back a head to see him, his mother may be in danger.
"I have this figured out. You all go ahead and leave."
The Bai siblings are already on guard, tonight is not a good time to strike again.
"Tomorrow, while the auction is ending, we can create some chaos. Then, we can take advantage of the confusion and get our job done."
That day's fire in the back of the guesthouse gave him an idea. All he had to do was stir up the water, and taking one person's life among so many guests wouldn't attract much attention.
Once the guests have dispersed and panic has subsided, no one will know how the person died.
"Yes, your subordinate will retire."
Once they were gone, Jiang Chuan instantly relaxed his tense brow and sat down, leaning on the table.
Just now, if Xiu Xiu hadn't suddenly opened the door, their whereabouts would have been almost exposed.
I didn't expect the Bai siblings to be so important in Xiuzhi's heart. If she knew I was going to kill Bai Xuan, Xiuzhi would definitely stop me.
Jiang Chuang dared not imagine what kind of look she would give her then.
But finding a scapegoat was the only way to solve his dilemma at that time.
Tomorrow I can only think of a way to lure Xiu Xiu away first.
The next morning, Bai Xuan still had the face that resembled Fang Jinshu appearing at their door. Fang Jinshu frowned.
"Mukjin's disguises can change so many faces, how are you still this way"
"Have her change you into a different look."
Bai Xuan took a step back, covering her just-done face.
"No, no, no, I like this face. Sister's appearance is the prettiest I've ever seen in a woman."
"After the grand talent recruitment ended today, you left with Mukjin, letting me have one last day to indulge in being a beautiful woman."
Fang Jinshu couldn't do anything about her, and Bai Yu didn't say anything either, so she could only go with her.y banquet, and that Mu Shi and the rest had all returned.
