Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

He raised his hand and pressed Lian Li's shoulder. Lian Li retracted his gaze and looked out the window, afraid that he didn't control his expression well enough and Yuan'er would notice something.

At this time, Jin Manjue also came over. He handed the treasure box to Lian Li and said, "Please accept it, both of you."

Lian Li was just about to reach out to take it, but Yun Huizhou took the treasure chest from Jin Manjue's hands before him, then casually pulled a tablecloth from the table in Jin Manjue's room, put the treasure chest in it, wrapped it up and held it in his hand.

At this time, Lian Li also reacted. If there was something wrong with Yuan'er, he went to take the treasure chest without any precautions. What if the treasure chest was poisoned? Wouldn't he be poisoned?

If Yun Huizhou also had this doubt, then he must have mobilized his internal energy to protect his hands when he took the treasure chest. With such a brief contact, he could not be hit.

Sure enough, after Yun Huizhou dealt with the problem of the treasure chest, he took the initiative to speak.

"Last time we came here, the host sent us something, but he didn't ask Miss Yuan'er to deliver it."

Lian Li felt that his question was a bit strange. They came over in the middle of the night last time. If the girl didn't have that intention and she wasn't in that kind of relationship with Jin Manjue, it would naturally be impossible for her to serve him so late at night.

But he also knew that Yun Huizhou was not a talkative person, and there must be a reason why he suddenly changed the topic to Yuan'er.

So he didn't say anything. If he understood Yun Huizhou's meaning, he could help cooperate.

But now, he didn't quite understand Yun Huizhou's meaning. If he just talked to him casually, he might end up making things worse.

"I brought Yuan'er back a month ago." Jin Manjue smiled in a somewhat artificial way, glanced at Yuan'er and continued, "When I saw her, she was selling herself to bury her father, but she was harassed and molested by those playboys. I felt sorry for her so I brought her back to be a maid."

Lian Li: ...Ah?

He didn't dare let Jin Manjue and Yuan'er see his expression, for fear that they would see a drama on his face.

"Oh, I see."

Yun Huizhou said this with a smile.

Yuan'er stood behind Jin Manjue with her head down. Yun Huizhou didn't look at him, but walked to Lian Li again, put his arm around Lian Li's shoulders, and said, "Master Jin, we'll take our leave now."

Yun Huizhou exerted a little force and took Lian Li away from Jinzuilou.

When the two returned to the inn, Lian Li immediately closed the door stealthily, then approached Yun Huizhou and asked, "Are you suspicious that Yuan Er has a problem?"

Yun Huizhou found a stool and sat down, then he grabbed Lian Li, who wanted to sit on the stool next to him, and held him on his lap.

Of course Lian Li didn't struggle and sat on his lap obediently.

"That Yuan'er is quite skilled in martial arts." Yun Huizhou said.

Lian Li was a little surprised. If Yun Huizhou said that someone's martial arts skills were not weak, then he must be quite strong.

Even if it's not first-rate, it's close to it.

He was about to ask again when he suddenly remembered that he had never noticed that Yuan'er had any martial arts skills.

Although there is a possibility that there is a big gap between his and Yuan'er's martial arts skills, there is also another possibility, that is, Yuan'er is pretending that she does not know martial arts.

The last time he met Jin Manjue, Yun Huizhou said that Jin Manjue's martial arts skills were similar to his. Now, several months have passed, and he has made great progress.

He should be much more powerful than Jin Manjue now. Even he didn't notice Yuan'er's abnormality. If Yuan'er hadn't taken the initiative to tell Jin Manjue that she knew martial arts, Jin Manjue would definitely not have discovered it.

Lian Li asked: "Do you have any ideas?"

"Well... I don't have any idea." Yun Huizhou said, "But the fact that Yuan'er, who is so powerful in martial arts, wants to sell herself to bury her father is suspicious no matter how you look at it. Jin Manjue has a special status in Linjiu City, so she must have deliberately approached Jin Manjue."

"Then will Jin Man Jue... be dangerous?" Lian Li asked hesitantly.

Yun Huizhou replied, "Don't worry about him for now. His grandmother is an extraordinary master, and his brother is the Lord of Linjiu City. Nothing will happen to him in Linjiu City. And although Jin Manjue looks useless, he is definitely not a fool. Otherwise, even with the care of his extraordinary grandmother, his Jin Zui Lou wouldn't be as prosperous as it is now. Yuan'er is with him now, and it's hard to say who will scheme against whom in the end."

"What you mean is that Jin Manjue should have noticed that there is something wrong with Yuan'er?" Lian Li understood the meaning behind Yun Huizhou's words.

"Well, when I took the treasure chest, I used my inner strength to protect my hands, but I also deliberately leaked a little bit so that Jin Manjue could notice it. It was a subtle way of conveying that I was wary of the treasure chest that Yuan'er brought in."

"Jin Manjue didn't have any strange reaction at the time, and that's the strangest thing. Normally, if I suddenly suspected that there was something wrong with the things he gave me, he would have a slightly different reaction. But he didn't, so I knew he should be clear about it in his heart."

"Later, I mentioned that I didn't see Yuan'er when I came to Jinzuilou last time. Normally, he would have just answered that Yuan'er hadn't come yet."

"He just told me the whole story, especially the fact that she sold herself to bury her father and was harassed and molested by a playboy. And I've already noticed that Yuan'er is quite skilled in martial arts, so I'm sure there's something wrong with her."

Lian Li: ...Ah? Ah? Ah?

No, there are clearly four of us here, why do I feel like an outsider?

No, it’s not accurate to say that I’m an outsider. I feel like a fool.

You two have exchanged so much information back and forth, but I only barely guessed that Yuan'er might have a problem based on my understanding of Yun Huizhou. I seem very stupid.

Yun Huizhou saw that he looked a little confused and speechless, so he smiled softly and said, "Yuan'er isn't serving you, and your martial arts skills are weaker than hers so you can't tell that she has any martial arts skills. You're smart to tell that something's wrong with her. Don't think too much. Since Jin Manjue dared to keep Yuan'er by his side, he must have known something. You don't have to worry, just leave Yuan'er to Jin Manjue."

"Okay." Lian Li pursed his lips and asked again: "Who do you think Yuan'er is?"

"Hmm..." Yun Huizhou pondered for a while and said, "My first suspect is definitely the Demon Cult. Unfortunately, she pretended to be someone who didn't know martial arts, and although her pace was a little messy, she adjusted too quickly, and I couldn't tell the way of her martial arts. So I can't be completely sure. Maybe there is another organization that we don't know about."

Hearing him say this, Lian Li felt that time was too tight. His martial arts skills were so poor, but a large wave of plots was about to come, and he suddenly had a strong sense of crisis.
