The wide sleeves of the Taoist robe could not cover the fair arms.

The wrist, which was not too thin, was wrapped with a cloth with ink-and-wash patterns.

The front view is unclear, but the exposed back of the neck and slightly exposed shoulders form very beautiful lines.

She thought this was already very charming, but Du Ruoheng only realized it belatedly and pulled off the hairband of the man in green robe shortly after the door was opened.

The black hair instantly cascaded down, completely covering the side of the face that was originally visible.

"Who is so ignorant of etiquette that you dare to barge into my room!" Du Ruoheng covered her clothes with one hand and got out of bed with the wine jug in the other. "You are not officials, yet you are so bold as to break into a private house without permission."

A man holding a knife was about to curse when he was stopped by the leader.

For no other reason than that person had already seen the token hanging from Du Ruoheng's waist. He bowed and apologized, "It turns out to be Taoist Priest Hua Ning. We are so abrupt and have disturbed your interest."

This man is the master's confidant and has seen the world. A year ago, he and his master had asked Taoist Master Huaning for the Five Spirits Glory Pill to prolong life.

Although the man had a forced smile on his face, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the bed, as if he wanted to get a glimpse of Huo Xiaoye's appearance to confirm whether the other party was the person he was looking for.

At this time, Huo Xiaoye's long hair was hanging down, and his head, which was usually held high, was pressed down by Du Ruoheng just before he opened the door.

Even now, in this half-covered room, one can still glimpse some rare beauty in the world, especially the vaguely visible shoulder and neck lines and the silk ribbons wrapped around the wrists, which add a touch of romance.

In fact, just looking at this scene, no one would connect the man in green robe with Huo Xiaoye, the Yongzhou Beijia who became famous at a young age and killed countless people - he himself did not want others to recognize him, after all, it was too embarrassing.

Without waiting for the other party to take a closer look, Du Ruoheng snorted coldly, and with a flick of his fingertips, the wine in the jug splashed onto the ground, and a few drops just happened to fall on the boots of the leader.

"You!" The man's subordinates were planning to teach Du Ruoheng a lesson when they saw that a female Taoist priest dared to be so arrogant.

But Du Ruoheng didn't take no for an answer. She narrowed her eyes and her tone suddenly turned cold: "What? Haven't you seen enough? Are you going to investigate my private affairs too?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Du Ruoheng touched his temples and said, "Or maybe your master has been too healthy recently and doesn't need my medicine at all? Or maybe you who are on the edge of life can't use my medicine either?

All right! Since you're all strong-willed people, feel free to check and see. Just register your names and background information when you leave my house so I know who doesn't need my medicine.

Upon hearing this, the man's face turned pale and he kowtowed repeatedly: "No, no, no, please forgive me, Master Nunnery. I was ordered to search for the wanted criminal, so..."

"Criminal?" Du Ruoheng sneered, put down the wine jug in his hand and sat back on the bed. He half-held Huo Xiaoye in his arms and brushed his ear with the corner of his mouth. "You think my weak junior brother is a criminal,

Or do you think that this tiny space of mine can still hold someone?"

Huo Xiaoye on the bed had his ears red from the kiss just now. Fortunately, his hair was covering them, otherwise they would have been exposed.

I felt the pair of hands with thin calluses supporting my waist. Although there was no direct contact, I could still feel it.

The person who had lived in an ice shell for eighteen years couldn't help but curl his fingertips slightly because of Du Ruoheng's close contact. He wanted to move his wrist, but when he wrapped the cloth just now, it was too tight, so he couldn't move for a while.

I couldn't see what was happening behind me, but I could still feel those people's eyes sweeping over me, with a bit of inquiry and some ambiguous speculation.

At this time, Du Ruoheng had a cold face, and it seemed that she was really angry.

The leader laughed dryly twice, his eyes wandered around the room, and finally landed on the token on Du Ruoheng's waist. Forget this lord, he can't afford to offend him.

If I were really blacklisted by the princess's pharmacy, I would be finished.

Thinking of this, the man could only bow and say, "Your room is so small, how can anyone hide here? I'm really sorry to bother you this time, we'll leave now."

After the group of people left the yard and the footsteps faded away, Hongdou at the door hurriedly helped close it. "Miss, I'll go and collect it for you. You can check the young master's injuries first to see if there is anything wrong."

Du Ruoheng let out a long sigh before turning to look at Huo Xiaoye.

She looked completely different from the frivolous female Taoist priest just now.

But this man was only serious for a moment.

Du Ruoheng smiled as she untied the silk ribbon on Huo Xiaoye's wrist and pinched his face: "How was it? Didn't I act well just now?"

Huo Xiaoye opened his mouth. He hadn't drunk any water in a long time, so his voice was a little hoarse, not as clear and cold as usual. "From what I saw, you didn't seem to be acting."
