The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 29 Yan Bugui's Suspicion

In fact, many people in the courtyard also frequent the black market, either to buy or sell things.

However, everyone follows an unspoken rule: regardless of whether the other person admits it or not, they will not reveal the other person's identity in the black market.

Li Qin knew that if he ran up behind Yan Bugui and called out his name, he would definitely gain a lot of emotional power.

But this idea only flashed through his mind for a moment.

Living in this world, there are some rules that must be followed.

Li Qin glanced at Yan Bugui, who was haggling with the stall owner, and then left the black market without looking back.

"Now is the perfect time to go to Houhai and Shichahai to collect water."

After leaving the black market, Li Qin walked cautiously for a distance, and after confirming that no one was following him, he turned and entered a dark alley.

He first placed the young chickens, ducks, and geese from the basket into the magic leather box and then placed the seeds in the courtyard within the space.

Finally, store the basket and other items into the storage ring.

Instead of removing his disguise, Li Qin cast an illusion spell on himself.

Finally, I used Phantom Shift to teleport to the shore of Houhai.

Although there was no curfew at night during this period, there were still quite a few soldiers patrolling. If they saw someone still on the streets at night, they would definitely be questioned.

Therefore, most people choose to sleep at home at night.

When Li Qin teleported to Houhai, there was no one around.

This was exactly what Li Qin wanted.

He casually pulled out a shrunken magic suitcase, then gently tapped it to restore it to its normal size.

Then he casually tossed the box into Houhai Lake.

Logically, since the box is empty inside, it should float on the water.

But the magic suitcase mysteriously sank.

It quickly sank to the bottom of the water.

At the same time, Li Qin began to open the box using magic.

Then a large amount of river water began to pour into the box.

A normal box can only hold a limited amount of water, but this is a magical leather box.

Its interior space is terrifying.

A large amount of river water, carrying fish, aquatic plants, and silt from the bottom, was rapidly poured into the space inside the box.

Guided by magic, the river water flowed directly into the pond that Li Qin had left in the space.

Soon, the five-acre pond had accumulated a considerable amount of water.

However, Li Qin suddenly stopped watering the planting space.

It's not that he can't continue, but that he can no longer continue.

The intake of a large amount of river water in a short period of time has even affected Houhai Lake.

Upon seeing this, Li Qin waved his hand, and the box that had sunk to the bottom of the water immediately closed automatically and then flew into Li Qin's hand.

"Next, we'll go to Shichahai to continue filling the lake."

The old city of Beijing is not just about Houhai Lake; there are other rivers as well.

In the blink of an eye, Li Qin teleported from Houhai to Shichahai.

What happened next was pretty much the same as before.

With a wave of his hand, Li Qin sent the magic case into the center of the river, where it sank to the bottom.

As he activated the magic on the suitcase, it opened automatically;

Endless river water, along with fish and all sorts of aquatic plants, began to pour into the suitcase.

"That's about it!"

When the ponds in the space, the small rivers surrounding the various planting areas, the pools in the mountains and forests, and even the paddy fields where rice is grown are all filled with water;

Li Qin retrieved the magic suitcase.

The importance of water resources in a sustainable development space is self-evident.

Now that the water resources are in place, the internal water will begin to circulate according to the set magic.

Although it cannot achieve a perfect cycle like the outside world, Li Qin will only need to replenish the water supply to the internal space once every once in a while.

Thinking of this, Li Qin could no longer suppress the smile on his lips.

However, to avoid creating any strange rumors, Li Qin grabbed the suitcase and immediately used teleportation to return to his room in the courtyard.

Li Qin did not rush to enter the space to plant the seeds he had obtained from the black market.

He took the doll off the bed and then lay down on the bed himself.

Although he had merged with the wizard's legacy and the divine essence, his spirit had become extremely powerful.

But he had experienced too much today. Although he could still keep his spirits up, his body was already sending signals of exhaustion.

Li Qin, on the other hand, planned to follow his body's needs and rest for a few hours.

Perhaps it's because I'm in a good mood, or perhaps I'm genuinely tired.

Li Qin fell asleep shortly after lying down.

Not long after he fell asleep, a furtive figure cautiously appeared outside the courtyard.

The figure was none other than Yan Bugui, whom Li Qin had seen in the black market earlier.

Yan Bugui was the head steward of the front yard, and because his house was right next to the main gate, he was also in charge of the main gate of Manshangguan.

This made things easier for him;

For example, if someone sneaks out at night and wants to enter the courtyard house again, they need to worry that the gate will be locked from the inside.

But Yan Bugui doesn't need to worry about this.

Because he would tell his family when he went out, and his aunt would naturally open the door for him when he returned.

"Honey, besides me, is anyone else coming home late tonight?"

After putting down the things he bought from the black market, Yan Bugui went straight to bed.

Just as the three aunts were about to go back to sleep, Yan Bugui suddenly asked out of the blue;

The three women were taken aback at first, then thought for a moment and said;

"A few people went to the toilet in the first half of the night, but they came back quickly. In the second half of the night, you were the only one there, and that was it."

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Yan Bugui's eyes.

Why are you suddenly asking this? Is there something wrong?

The third aunt asked with some curiosity.

Yan Bugui shook his head, then said somewhat uncertainly;

"I just saw a figure on the black market and thought it looked somewhat similar to Xiao Li from the front house, so I asked him about it."

Upon hearing Yan Bugui's answer, the third aunt first nodded, then shook her head.

"Then you must have seen wrong. Xiao Li has not left since he got home in the evening, nor has he been seen coming back from outside in the middle of the night."

The three women spoke with considerable certainty.

Because it was she who closed the courtyard gate from the inside when the third uncle went to the black market.

If Li Qin really left and then came back, she couldn't possibly not know.

Unless Li Qin can walk through walls.

However, the ability to walk through walls is a myth, not real, so the third aunt was very certain of her judgment.

Unfortunately, what the third aunt didn't know was that although Li Qin couldn't pass through walls, he did possess amazing magic.

Therefore, one can enter and exit the courtyard house without going through the main gate.

Hearing what the third aunt said, the look of doubt in Yan Bugui's eyes grew even stronger;

"Perhaps I really did see it wrong."

Yan Bugui wasn't entirely sure if he had misread it.

The main problem was that everyone entering and leaving the black market was disguised; he only saw one person's back that somewhat resembled Li Qin.

That's why I asked that question so inexplicably after I got back.
