The Demon Lord is very busy: This little couple is really hard to separate

After walking a few steps, Yun Yu'an felt something was not right.

"Master Jun, do you have something that can cover your face?" Not changing into night clothes was already very unprofessional, and it would be too disrespectful to the opponent if he didn't cover his face either.

Jun Qinghe rummaged for a long time and took out two light-colored handkerchiefs.

A bit small...

Yun Yu'an took it and tried it, pulling the two corners together with great difficulty to tie a knot - it was barely usable.

Jun Qinghe also followed Yun Yu'an's example and covered half of his face.

Yun Yu'an: "Where do we need to go?"

Jun Qinghe said: "Ancestral hall."

Yun Yu'an followed Jun Qinghe, turning left and right. Occasionally, Jun Qinghe pulled his head into a corner to hide from the patrolling guards. It can be said that everything went smoothly along the way, and he truly felt the joy of doing things without thinking.

The two of them entered the City Lord's Mansion Shrine without any danger.

Of course, I still climbed over the wall to get in.

Jun Qinghe was very careful about the way he led the people this time, and the two of them landed in a low profile under the eaves corridors of the inner room and outer courtyard of the ancestral hall.

The city lord said he was a very particular person, as the weeds in the courtyard outside his ancestral hall were so lush that they were almost killing the flowers in the garden.

You could say he was too unsophisticated, but the stone tables and benches in the open air were spotlessly clean, and the fruit offerings on the table in the ancestral hall were even covered with dew, indicating that they were all freshly placed.

Jun Qinghe grabbed Yun Yu'an and said, "There is a demon."

Yun Yu'an didn't dare to move for a moment.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

Yun Yu'an thought thoughtfully: "Could it be the demonic energy of the demon pill itself?"

Jun Qinghe thought it was unlikely: "They are too evenly distributed, in every corner of the ancestral hall."

While Yun Yu'an suppressed the strength of his body, he also lost a large part of his ability to sense the aura. Therefore, Yun Yu'an did not sense the demonic aura that Jun Qinghe was talking about at all...

But judging from Jun Qinghe's words, this should be a sign of the demon clan being active.

Yun Yu'an joked: "Master Jun, do you think it is possible that it is watching us in the dark right now?"

Jun Qinghe couldn't respond.

Whether it is possible or not, you will know after trying it.

Yun Yu'an swaggered towards the inner room. When he crossed the threshold, he greeted the whole row of ancestors of the city lord: "I apologize for disturbing you for a moment."

He then unceremoniously lit up the three incense sticks from the host, bowed and performed the formalities, and then called Jun Qinghe in: "Start looking."

Jun Qinghe just stood at the door and didn't intend to go in: "Open the wooden box in the middle of the offerings and take a look."

Hearing the voice, Yun Yu'an turned his gaze to the table, and sure enough, there was a small but inconspicuous wooden box.

Yun Yu'an looked around, a little uncertain: "Put it in such an obvious place?"

Why does it feel like a trap?

Forget it, I have to keep trusting the protagonist’s luck value—Yun Yu’an thought so and picked up the small wooden box.

Jun Qinghe saw the person in front of him walking towards him with a wooden box in his hand, with an intriguing expression on his face.

Yun Yu'an: "Master Jun, please lend me your hand."

The protagonist's hands must be safer than opening it yourself. Yun Yu'an stuffed the wooden box into Jun Qinghe's hands, then stepped back three or four steps to a safe distance.

"Why are you so far away?" Jun Qinghe seemed to come to his senses. Ayun was getting scared.

Jun Qinghe did not hesitate. He did not even use his extra hand and opened the lid of the box with just one finger.

Nothing happened...

Looking at Jun Qinghe's expression again, there seemed to be no change.

Yun Yu'an felt relieved and moved closer to see an egg-sized orange-yellow translucent crystal ball: "Is it real?"

Jun Qinghe closed the lid of the box and handed it to Yun Yu'an: "It's a fake."

Yun Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief and put the box back to its original position. "I'm relieved if it's a fake. It makes me feel uneasy if it's too easy to get."

Jun Qinghe added: "This is just an ordinary demon pill, there should be another one."

Yun Yu'an turned the fruit plate over and over: "I didn't see it."

Suddenly, there were the sounds of footsteps outside the yard.

Yun Yu'an looked at Jun Qinghe, raised his hand, pulled out three sticks of incense and threw them into the copper furnace. Then he let Jun Qinghe take him to the roof.

The door of the ancestral hall was pushed open, and a little girl of four or five years old leaned in.

The little girl pushed aside the weeds with ease and called out in a childish voice, "Nuannuan?"

The maid who followed him outside the courtyard became nervous: "Miss, don't go into the haystack. There are too many mosquitoes."

But it is very difficult to stop a child of this age from doing anything, and she stubbornly dug through the grass to look for 'Nuan Nuan'.

Unable to find it in the bushes, the little girl staggered into the inner room to look for it.

But at this moment, a fat orange cat jumped out of the inner room. The little girl immediately took small steps and excitedly stretched out her chubby little hands to the orange cat: "Nuan Nuan!"

The orange cat who was called "Nuannuan" took two steps back, walked around the little girl and ran out the door.

The little girl called out "Nuan Nuan" and chased after him happily. Finally, the door of the ancestral hall was closed by the maid.

Yun Yu'an, who was lying on the roof with his eyes exposed, asked in surprise: "Was there a cat in there just now?"

Jun Qinghe frowned: "No, or I didn't notice it."

Yun Yuan understood and said, "I understand. We have been discovered. What should we do, Master Jun?"

Jun Qinghe: "Let's take a long-term view."

The incident happened suddenly, and lying on someone else's roof was not a good place to talk, so Jun Qinghe and Yun Yu'an both thought it would be safer to rush back to the inn first.

The person who was happiest to see the two of them come back was Meng Li'er.

Yun Yu'an originally just wanted to report his safety to Meng Li'er, but Meng Li'er directly pulled Yun Yu'an into her room.

Jun Qinghe couldn't let Yun Yu'an leave his sight, so he followed him in.

Meng Lier poured water for them attentively: "Everything went well?"

Yun Yu'an shook his head helplessly: "It went smoothly, but not so smoothly at the same time."

Meng Li'er sat down with her hands folded, waiting for Yun Yu'an to continue.

Yun Yu'an drank half a glass of water and said, "The demon pill that Master Jun and I found was a fake one. If nothing unexpected happens, the one on display tomorrow will also be a fake one."

Meng Lier: "Is the information wrong?"

"That's what I thought at first." Yun Yu'an continued, "The turning point was that Master Jun and I discovered that the demons hiding in the City Lord's Mansion had been secretly watching us since the beginning."

Meng Li'er grasped the key point: "There is a monster in the City Lord's Mansion?!"

Yun Yu'an pondered, "A cat demon. If the city lord's young daughter hadn't come to play with it and forced it to show up, perhaps Jun Xianshi and I wouldn't have discovered it in the end. Its behavior is not normal."

Yun Yu'an put his knuckles between his teeth and rubbed them twice, looking at Jun Qinghe: "Method of elimination. Even with Master Jun's level, he couldn't find it directly, which means it is a powerful monster;

It never attacked us, which meant it had no hostility towards us, a group of people with bad intentions.

If it was sent by the demon clan, it should have fled after exchanging the fake for the real one. However, it was even familiar with the city lord's young daughter, and the entire ancestral hall was filled with its demonic aura, which showed that it was not from the demon clan.

Even...it may live in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time. What is its purpose?"
