Chapter 2630: Scheme
The two people left the array after going around it twice.
When Xie Yutang finally got out of the array, he looked at Feng Jiu strangely and asked, “How did you know how to get out of the array?”
“I just got lucky. I just kept on walking and got out.” Feng Jiu smiled and took a step forward.
“Don’t fool me. How do you get in and out by chance?You must be knowledgeable about arrays.”
As Xie Yutang spoke, he observed that Feng Jiu’s face was unremarkable and that she would be difficult to recognise on the street. But, for some reason, he began to suspect that Feng Jiu was anything but simple.
“Hey, what did you say to her just now? Why am I not allowed to listen?” He was a little curious. What did Feng Jiu say to Ruan Ruyun?
“Have we not already agreed? “When you leave the array, forget what is happening inside and do not mention it again. She looked at him casually. “Or, are you a so-called man who doesn’t always mean what he says?”
“How is that possible?” Xie Yutang exclaimed, sticking out his chest. “I always keep my word!”
“All right, then.” She gave a satisfied nod. “If anyone asks, tell them you’ve been squatting in the lavatory.”
Xie Yutang’s lips twitched. He did not repeat the question, but he observed her inquisitively. “Feng Jiu, just who on earth are you? What do you intend to accomplish in my house? You weren’t sent to my house on purpose, were you?”
Feng Jiu glanced at him speechlessly. “Do you not use your brain when you speak? Who invited me to travel with them? Who asked me to go to Xie’s Manor? Furthermore, is there anything valuable in your family for me to sneak into?”
“Then why did you stay in my house? Your strength should be better than mine! And I find that you seem to know a lot. How can you tell she’s poisoned just by looking at her? And...” He still wanted to ask, but Feng Jiu stopped him.
“Stop.” Feng Jiu raised her hand.
When she stopped and looked at Xie Yutang, the two unknowingly came to the rock garden. “Don’t worry, I have no intentions of harming your family. I have no other option but to stay with you temporarily. After a while, I’ll leave.”
Xie Yutang was taken aback. “You’ll leave?”
“Nonsense. That’s not my house. Do you think I’d like to continue working as a servant boy?” She walked away, rolling her eyes impolitely. Perhaps it was because she didn’t hide her nature from him, so she acted more casually.
“You’re not a servant boy, you’re in charge of my house! Today, you are only acting as a servant boy.” As he continued speaking, he again looked at Feng Jiu and stated, “In fact, if you have nowhere else to go, you can always stay at my house.”
Feng Jiu smiled and looked forward while remaining silent. She drew Xie Yutang alongside her when she saw Xie Shisi.
“Look, isn’t that your little sister? Where is she going with the maid?”
“Let’s follow them.” Xie Yutang said as he strode forward.
Feng Jiu and Xie Yutang followed at a moderate pace. They saw the maid lead Xie Shisi to a courtyard and vaguely heard Xie Shisi asking “What brought my big brother here? What is he doing in this place?”
When they heard this, they exchanged glances. Xie Yutang said, “It’s obvious that I’m here. Why does the maid tell Little Shi a lie? That won’t do; I’m going to investigate.” While he was talking, he saw that after his sister walked into the courtyard, the maid looked left and right in a suspicious manner.
