My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 419: Weird Courtyard

"Miss, what do you mean..."

Xiaomei, transformed by Jiang Yan, trembled slightly, and said in a fearful manner that ordinary people could not detect but Qin Xiangling could definitely see:

"I'm going to meet some more beautiful sisters..."

Qin Xiangling blinked. She was obviously the kind of person who had been practicing Taoism since childhood and was ignorant of worldly affairs and had not been contaminated by worldly intrigues. She should be the kind of person who practiced Taoism with a pure mind.

But just at this moment, she understood what Xiaomei was "afraid" of and what the last sentence represented.

"I am already a dying woman... If you would like... I recognize a few beautiful sisters..."

Qin Xiangling's face flushed red as she thought of something. Although she had never experienced it before, she had long been immersed in the "forbidden works" of her master.

She got the nickname "Lao Si Ji".

So combining my attitude just now and applying the thoughts of ordinary people, what I said just now is just like a lesbian who keeps male lovers and concubines!

Although she is very talkative online, she is very quiet offline.

After being misunderstood this time, thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant. She compared the scenes in her mind with Xiaomei in front of her one by one, and realized that the "protagonists" were both them.

Her head felt hot and her face flushed red, like a cooked shrimp.

Subconsciously, I put my legs together and covered my face with my hands, forcibly interrupting the countless "beautiful" scenes that inexplicably emerged.

"Miss... may I..."

"No need! You...you go first! Go...go to the back room and clean up! You're not needed here anymore!"

Xiaomei, transformed by Jiang Yan, lowered her head, bowed, and took a few steps back without even looking up before turning around and hurriedly leaving...

After Jiang Yan disappeared, Qin Xiangling's red cheeks gradually calmed down, and she slowly let go, revealing a shy face.

"It's really... It's all Xiaomei's fault. I just asked her to take off her clothes and take a shower, but she actually misunderstood that I wanted to..."

Qin Xiangling gradually calmed down and complained inwardly, but she also felt a little puzzled.

"Although...I often secretly read those 'taboo works', I was just curious. Why did I lose control when Xiaomei mentioned it today?"

"Could it be...Xiaomei...Could it be that I have that idea about Xiaomei?!"

As soon as this thought came to mind, the experienced Qin Xiangling instantly generated a phrase based on the conditions of the two of them: "Returning from Xiuxian, the young lady forcibly took possession of the former maid."

Thinking of this, Qin Xiangling's face was suddenly filled with black lines.

"What the hell is going on here? It seems those things aren't called taboo for nothing. I've been traumatized by Zi Se, and my brain has been ruined by it!"

"From now on! Stop using money!"

…………

Of course, Qin Xiangling’s abnormal behavior was not her own problem, but Jiang Yan’s secret tricks.

Things like Fanyan Danshen Xuesan, which have effects on the body, are fine for cultivators or mortals to eat, but it would be a problem for Jiang Yan, who has now transformed into a mortal, to eat them.

The price of being able to wander around under the noses of Qin Xiangling and Li Qiaoer without being discovered is naturally that one cannot leak magic power at will.

Given the natural fluctuations caused by refining the elixir, and Qin Xiangling's need to introduce spiritual energy, it would be difficult for Jiang Yan to guarantee that he would not be discovered.

Jiang Yan will not test Qin Xiangling's intelligence, but will eliminate the problem at the source.

Although there is a possibility of being exposed if you take action, it is at least much safer than swallowing pills.

Just ...

"What on earth is going on in Junior Sister Qin Xiangling's head? I just slightly exaggerated her emotions, and before I even started to work on her, she became like that?"

"And judging by its appearance, it seems the aftermath is still there, isn't it?"

Jiang Yan shook his head, he just couldn't understand it. He hadn't known about the development of the Ancient Immortal Sect for many years.

He was still a little unsure about what it had become.

"Forget it, forget it, don't think about it."

The rear chamber is located at the last entrance of the courtyard. It is generally secluded and usually serves as the residence of female relatives.

Jiang Yan, who was hastily sent away, did not wander around, but obediently came to the back room.

As we walked along the inner courtyard corridor, there were fewer and fewer servants. Occasionally, a steward would stop us to ask questions, but he would just send us away with the young lady's orders.

Jiang Yan's expression was normal, his eyes looking straight ahead, but his eyes glanced around unconsciously.

"It's very clean. Unlike other places, it seems that someone cleans here every day, but servants are rarely seen on the streets?"

Passing through the moon-shaped door that seemed to have just been unsealed, a quiet courtyard came into view.

At this moment, Jiang Yan couldn't help but stop. Xiaomei, who was transformed by Jiang Yan, looked back with curiosity on her face.

Because just one step can make a world of difference.

Outside the Moon Cave Gate, everything is spotless and in order, but inside the Moon Cave Gate, the ground is covered with dust and looks dilapidated.

Anyone who sees this abnormal scene will be stunned, let alone "Xiaomei" at this time.

Xiaomei muttered to herself with a bitter look on her face: "There are so many...how long will it take to clean it up..."

After complaining, Xiaomei began to clean the dust stains and pick up dead leaves without complaint.

Time passed quickly, and in a short while, two hours had passed.

Dusk is approaching, the setting sun is blood-red, and Jiang Yan is the only one left in the unusually quiet courtyard. The silence is eerie.

If Jiang Yan were not an ordinary person, he would probably feel depressed by this kind of environment.

Of course, "Xiaomei" is like this.

After a while, Xiaomei, who was originally frightened by the darkening sky and secluded surroundings, suddenly stopped moving.

"She" stood up slowly with a calm expression.

"Finally left. I was just cleaning a small courtyard, but there was someone watching over it in secret?"

Yes, everything that just happened was a “performance” performed by Jiang Yan for the people who were secretly monitoring him.

Before we even got close to the back room, a housekeeper suddenly appeared and approached to ask what was going on. After that, there were no servants on the road, and there was secret surveillance.

Although all of this was done extremely covertly, how could it be hidden from Jiang Yan?

After deceiving the person in the dark and letting him leave, Jiang Yan finally looked around the courtyard in front of him.

"It's plain and unremarkable, with just some ordinary wooden furniture inside."

"Moreover, the furniture was extremely crude, like that of a beginner carpenter."

Thinking in his heart, Jiang Yan did not look down on it, but carefully looked at every inch of land, and even used his spiritual power to explore deep underground.

But the final conclusion was... nothing unusual? ?

When he walked into the room, he could see the furniture around him that he had cleaned, and he concluded that there was nothing unusual.

"No problem..."

Jiang Yan stood in the room with his arms folded across his chest, then put them down with some embarrassment.

"It's so awkward to be a woman. I should have known not to grow so big."

"Speaking of which, even just running and jumping at this scale is already difficult to maintain balance, and at Ming'er's scale..."

Jiang Yan only daydreamed for a moment before cutting off his thoughts, shaking his head and chuckling:

"Tsk tsk, being a woman isn't easy..."

"Huh?~"

It was as if a flash of inspiration came to him, and Jiang Yan suddenly frowned and stopped talking to himself.

"It's not easy being a woman..."

"woman……"

Jiang Yan subconsciously looked at the broken table in a corner.

Then he looked carefully at the entire room. This time he no longer investigated whether there were any secrets hidden inside. Instead, he disrupted the layout, arrangement, and scattered furniture in the room one by one and pieced them together in his mind.

With his level of knowledge, he could reversely deduce based on the remains at the scene and restore the original appearance of the objects, which was nothing special.

In the blink of an eye, the original appearance of the house appeared in my mind.

However, it was not as luxuriously decorated as it is today. Instead, it looked very plain, even shabby. The placement and appearance of the furniture caught Jiang Yan's attention.

"A married couple, and the husband loves his wife very much. The furniture is simple, but there is a slightly exquisite dressing table, and the bronze diamond-shaped mirror is even more so. The edge of the mirror is obviously wrapped with faded red silk, and a few broken shells are embedded in the edge. Although it is a cheap decoration, it reveals a bit of ingenuity."

"And... they have children."

Jiang Yan's eyes swept across the faded wooden dolls, which were obviously children's toys, placed randomly in pairs.

"That's obvious. It's deep inside the Qin Mansion, and there's secret surveillance. This must be where Qin Menglin lived before he started his own business. But here comes the problem. I remember the Qin family wasn't a poor family, but a wealthy one. How could Qin Menglin, the second son, live here?"

"But if not, who else?"

Jiang Yan looked up and looked around the room, then compared it in his mind, and inexplicably felt that it was somewhat familiar?

"This room...is quite similar to the dilapidated courtyard I bought near the Qin Mansion."

"Jingming Mansion, Jinxiufang... Jingming Mansion's prosperity is undeniable, but it's not all gold. Take the small courtyard I bought in Jinxiufang for example."

"As for Jinxiufang, even though it's close to the Qin Mansion, it's not very well developed. Even the surrounding winding alleys are full of dilapidated houses."

"What if...what if it was supposed to be like this?"

Jiang Yan tried to eliminate the existence of the Qin Mansion, which was also a giant in Jingming Mansion, from his mind. Suddenly, everything seemed much more reasonable.

If there were no Qin Mansion, then decline would be the main theme. This place is not close to the prosperous area and there are no famous properties to be found.

If the Qin Mansion had not stood here, attracting so many people, this place would have been deserted long ago.

Looking back with this idea in mind, the Qin family seems very out of place.

"The Qin family must have moved here later. I don't know why, but it must be related to this house."

The conditions are sufficient and time permits. Why would Jiang Yan go far away after finding the clue?

With a wave of his hand, he disturbed the disordered spiritual energy around him, and raised a gust of spiritual wind. When it spread around, a simple and unpretentious shielding array took shape in the blink of an eye.

Freehand and easy.

Then, the relaxed look on his face faded away and was replaced by solemnity.

"Heaven and earth, may the Supreme Grandmaster appear. Please bless me, your disciple, so that I can successfully deduce this time!"

Because he failed in his divination about the little girl's mother's pillow book, he never believed in the ancient immortal sect's divination technique again after coming to the Qin Mansion.

After all, the person has disappeared in the Qin Mansion. You can't find him even if you perform divination in the Qin Mansion. What's the point of performing divination again?

"This time, I'm not predicting the future, but looking back into the past. That's what I'm best at, and there will definitely be no problems!"

then……

"No? Why still no?"

What surprised Jiang Yan was that this attempt to trace back history, which obviously couldn't have been without clues, ended up with nothing again?

And just like the disappearance of the pillow book, both are "empty", and it is impossible to deduce or deduce anything, which makes people feel helpless.

"How is this possible... I'm clearly standing in this room, but why does the deduction result show nothing? Could it be that this room doesn't exist at all..."

As these thoughts flashed through Jiang Yan's mind, she suddenly felt her body tighten, and a cool breeze blew over her, making her feel cold in her heart.

The setting sun outside the window had already faded, dark clouds were gathering over the city, and the courtyard remained as still and quiet as ever. It was so eerie that not a single sound could be heard, even the sound he made was swallowed up...

"This Qin Mansion, the more I learn about it, the weirder it becomes."
