Yu Shaoqing glanced at Lu Suixin and said, "Lanterns are given to loved ones. I don't have anyone to give them to, so there's nothing to write about."

Lu Suixin was stunned, obviously not expecting that Yu Shaoqing didn't write because of this, so he took the brush on the table and said to Yu Shaoqing with a smile: "I'll write one for you."

"No need." Although Yu Shaoqing refused firmly, Lu Sui Xin easily snatched the lantern away.

Lu Suixin thought about it, and suddenly realized: "I know what to write!"

After saying that, he immediately picked up the pen and started writing, then handed the lantern to Yu Shaoqing, grinning and saying, "Don't thank me too much."

Yu Shaoqing muttered to himself, then looked down and saw a line of words written on the lantern: Lanterns for sale, ten cents each!

Yu Shaoqing expended a great deal of self-control not to destroy the lantern with his own hands. Seeing that Yu Shaoqing looked depressed, Chu Xian thought that something Lu Suixin had written had annoyed Yu Shaoqing. Just as he was about to stick his head out to take a closer look, the lantern was hidden by Yu Shaoqing.

Chu Xian said hesitantly: "Brother, let me give you my lantern."

Yu Shaoqing did not reach out to take it, but said: "Put it in the water, it should look good." After that, he went to Lu Sui Xin.

Chu Xian looked at the lantern in his hand that had not been given away and was so angry that he wanted to stamp his feet. He felt like he was being directly rejected by Yu Shaoqing before he even expressed his feelings.

Lu Sui Xin was admiring the lanterns with Bai Xuanzhi when he felt a chill on the back of his neck. He quickly moved his body to the side and avoided Yu Shaoqing's sneak attack.

Lu Suixin stood aside, looking speechless, "What are you doing?"

Yu Shaoqing said breathlessly: "How dare you ask me what I am doing! What did you write on my lantern?"

Lu Sui Xin laughed out loud, "I thought it was something serious. I was kind enough to help you write, but you didn't thank me and even wanted to beat me up. If I had known, I wouldn't have helped you."

"Lu Sui!" Yu Shaoqing said in a low voice: "You are so shameless!"

Lu Suixin seemed to be in a good mood. He nodded, seeming to agree with Yu Shaoqing's statement, "I am shameless, otherwise why would I stand with you now?"

Speaking of this, Yu Shaoqing became even angrier. Lu Sui Xin had already given the lantern to Bai Xuanzhi, so how could he still accuse him of being shameless enough to follow him? What a vicious man he was, always greedy for more!

Concerned about Bai Xuanzhi's health, the four of them set off early to return to the Bai Mansion. As soon as they arrived at the yard, they saw the housekeeper and the servants guarding the door.

When the housekeeper saw Bai Xuanzhi and the others coming back, he immediately stepped forward and said nervously, "Sir, there's a thief in the house."

"Thief?!" Mo Ran couldn't help but raise his voice, "Did anything get lost?"

Hearing this, the housekeeper said with an unpleasant expression: "Nothing was lost, but the library in the mansion was completely messed up."

"The library was turned upside down?" Bai Xuanzhi frowned and said, "You mean the thief didn't turn up anything else, but directly turned upside down in the library?"

The housekeeper also looked puzzled. "Yes, nothing is lost. It's just that there are so many different kinds of books in the library. I don't know what is lost."

Mo Ran listened and laughed, "He is a cultured thief."

Yu Shaoqing noticed something was wrong and asked, "What are you doing standing here?"

The housekeeper looked around and said, "The thief has entered the eldest master's yard and hasn't come out yet. We are sending people in to search."

Lu Suixin also noticed something strange and exchanged glances with Yu Shaoqing. This was too much of a coincidence. They had just come out of Miss Zhi'er's yard when Miss Zhi'er was killed. They had just finished searching the Bai Mansion's library when a thief went in and rummaged around. Could it be that someone had been following them all the way? Perhaps that person knew that Lu Suixin and his friends came to Yangzhou City to find the second half of the Qiankun Migration Method, so they followed Lu Suixin and his friends all the way to the Bai Mansion, knowing that the method was most likely hidden in the Bai Mansion's library. When they were all out and the mansion was short of manpower, he ran in and rummaged around.

Yu Shaoqing held the Chengying Sword in his hand and said to Lu Suixin and the others, "I'll go in and take a look. You guys stay outside and be careful."

Lu Suixin said with a serious expression, "Okay."

Mo Ran was also afraid that the thief would rush out and hurt Bai Xuanzhi, so he suggested: "Master, let's hide in another courtyard."

Bai Xuanzhi replied: "It's okay, there are many people here, and A Sui will protect me."

Lu Suixin stood around Bai Xuanzhi, observing the surroundings with sharp eyes, "Xuanzhi is right, I will protect you."

Seeing that his proposal was rejected by Bai Xuanzhi again, Mo Ran felt a little uncomfortable. Ever since Lu Sui Xin came to Bai Mansion, his status has been getting worse day by day.

The servants around were nervous, fearing that the thief would suddenly jump out from somewhere. When Lu Suixin realized something was wrong, the thief immediately jumped down from the roof. The thief was wearing night clothes, with a scarf on his face, and rushed towards Bai Xuanzhi with a sword in his hand.

Lu Suixin immediately stood in front of Bai Xuanzhi and kicked the thief's hand holding the sword. The sword tip deflected and rushed straight towards Chu Xian. When Yu Shaoqing ran out of the house, he saw that Chu Xian was stabbed.

The thief's skills were amazing, and those servants were no match for him. Yu Shaoqing chased after him with the Chengying Sword, but was hit by several silver needles, which Yu Shaoqing immediately avoided. Seeing this, the thief immediately took out several smoke bombs and threw them on the ground, and left the Bai Mansion directly under the cover of the smoke bombs.

"Axian!" Yu Shaoqing hurried to Chu Xian's side. Chu Xian was holding his stomach, and blood was flowing out from his wound, staining his entire palm.

Chu Xian fell backwards with some weakness, but was caught steadily by Yu Shaoqing. Chu Xian endured the pain and gave Yu Shaoqing a far-fetched smile, "Brother, don't blame Mr. Lu, it was also...an unintentional mistake." After saying that, he tilted his head and fainted.

"I'll go call a doctor right now!" Mo Ran ran out in a hurry.

Yu Shaoqing held Chu Xian in his arms and glared at Lu Sui Xin coldly. Then, without saying a word, he held Chu Xian and left the yard.

"How is Chu Xian?" The doctor brought back by Mo Ran was helping Chu Xian treat his wounds. Lu Sui Xin always felt something was wrong. He kicked the thief away and calculated the timing. Chu Xian was not standing there at the time, so why did the knife pierce Chu Xian's body?

“Lu Sui! I asked you to take good care of Chu Xian, and this is how you did it!” Yu Shaoqing’s face was gloomy and terrifying. “Even if you wanted to protect Bai Xuanzhi, you shouldn’t have kicked the thief in the direction of Chu Xian! Chu Xian has been weak since he was young. If the thief hadn’t missed, Chu Xian might have died at this moment.”

Bai Xuanzhi looked at Yu Shaoqing unhappily and defended Lu Suixin, "It was an emergency just now. Suixin didn't mean it."

Lu Suixin was a little frightened. It was the first time he saw Yu Shaoqing so furious. Lu Suixin also knew that he was incompetent and indeed he did not protect him. "There was no one in that open space at that time, so I kicked the thief over there..."

"You're still quibbling!" Yu Shaoqing tightened his jaw. He couldn't tell why he was so angry. Maybe he was holding his breath when he was painting the boat. Why did Lu Suixin always think of Bai Xuanzhi first when something happened? This time, he also slandered Chu Xian in order to protect Bai Xuanzhi.

Listening to the noise inside, Yu Shaoqing said ruthlessly: "If anything happens to Chu Xian, I will never let you go."

Bai Xuanzhi looked at Lu Suixin's confused eyes and comforted her, "Ah Sui, maybe Master Yu is just too worried about Master Chu. You don't have to take what he said to heart."

Lu Suixin said with a fake smile: "You are right, Yu Shaoqing is just too worried about Chu Xian." He was so worried that he ran to him and got angry because of Chu Xian. No matter how he explained, Yu Shaoqing would think that he was trying to protect Bai Xuanzhi because of Chu Xian's words, and deliberately kicked the villain in the direction of Chu Xian.

Yu Shaoqing walked to the bedside. The doctor had already left, but Chu Xian was too weak and frightened, so he hadn't woken up yet.

Yu Shaoqing had been guarding Chu Xian's bed. He felt that he had just yelled at Lu Suixin a little too much, but the words had already been said, and it would be useless to say anything now. Just before Chu Xian fainted, he told him not to blame Lu Suixin, and when he came out of the house, he saw Lu Suixin kicking the thief in the direction of Chu Xian. He saw all these with his own eyes and ears, so how could he believe that Lu Suixin didn't do it on purpose? Yu Shaoqing's temples were throbbing and his head was pounding.

"Senior Brother..." Chu Xian woke up and called out Yu Shaoqing weakly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shaoqing quickly asked, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Chu Xian shook his head slightly, "No. Senior Brother, please don't blame Mr. Lu, okay? He was just too anxious to protect Mr. Bai."

Yu Shaoqing snorted coldly, "Don't worry about this matter, I know my limits."

Chu Xian nodded resignedly and said, "Brother, can you promise me not to make things too difficult for Master Lu?"

Yu Shaoqing took the medicine beside him and did not answer Chu Xian's words. Instead, he said, "Drink the medicine first. Take good care of yourself here in the next few days. I will take you back to Aoxue Villa when the time comes."

Chu Xian was helped up by Yu Shaoqing and drank the bowl of bitter medicine clean. "Brother, I won't go back. I will be wherever you are."

Yu Shaoqing took a candied fruit and asked Chu Xian to eat it to suppress the bitter taste in his mouth. "Don't worry, Senior Brother will go back with you." Yu Shaoqing thought that as long as he returned to Aoxue Villa and hid for a while, Lu Suixin couldn't find him and might not bother him anymore. Since Lu Suixin liked Bai Xuanzhi so much, why should he let Lu Suixin bother him anymore?

Chu Xian curled the corners of his mouth and suppressed the satisfaction in his eyes. Now there was a rift between Yu Shaoqing and Lu Suixin. When the time came, Yu Shaoqing would accompany him back to Aoxue Villa. As the leader of the Ghost Shadow Sect, Lu Suixin would not dare to run to Aoxue Villa to ask for people.

Yu Shaoqing didn't come out of Chu Xian's room until Chu Xian fell asleep.

Lu Suixin was still standing outside the door. When she saw Yu Shaoqing coming out, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is Chu Xian?"

Yu Shaoqing snorted coldly and said unhappily: "You can't die."

Lu Suixin felt uncomfortable when she heard what Yu Shaoqing said. Lu Suixin frowned and asked, "Can you speak properly?"

Yu Shaoqing said with a tone full of sarcasm: "Talk to you nicely? You hurt my junior brother, how can I talk to you nicely! Lu Sui, you can protect Bai Xuanzhi, but do you know that Chu Xian doesn't know martial arts? In such a dangerous situation, how dare you push the thief to Chu Xian! Are you going to kill him?!"

Lu Suixin was chilled by Yu Shaoqing's aggressive tone. He didn't understand what he meant by wanting to kill Chu Xian. Lu Suixin endured the pain in his heart and explained, "I didn't want to kill Chu Xian, but Chu Xian really wasn't standing there at the time, so I..."

"What are you?" Yu Shaoqing's eyes were filled with an intimidating coldness. "Lu Sui, Chu Xian told me that he doesn't blame you, so don't make excuses to evade responsibility."

"It's not my fault, why should I evade responsibility?" Lu Sui Xin asked back.

Yu Shaoqing sneered, his eyes full of contempt and ridicule.

Yu Shaoqing's indifferent look hurt Lu Suixin's heart. Lu Suixin let out a breath and said, "Let's not talk about this for now."

Lu Sui Xin said what he was thinking, "We just finished searching the library, and right after that, thieves went in to search for things. Could this be..."

"Are you trying to say it's just a coincidence?" Yu Shaoqing threw the silver needles in front of Lu Suixin. "These are the Seven-Star Life-Taking Needles of Yin Ling, the Right Protector of the Ghost Shadow Sect. The facts are before us. What excuses are you going to find to exonerate the Ghost Shadow Sect? Lu Sui, I can think of everything you can think of regarding the Qiankun Shifting Method, so you don't have to tell me anymore."

Lu Suixin frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Yu Shaoqing suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice: "I will investigate the matter of Qiankun Shifting Technique myself. You don't need to tell me what you find out." After that, he left, leaving Lu Sui Xin standing there in a daze.
