Quick Wear: Oh no, the lady is running away with the ball again

I didn’t know it until I came here. It was such a coincidence that Yun Qian was hungry in the middle of the night and woke up the system to have a snack.

It was quiet all around, and the surrounding mountains and forests were filled with the chirping of cicadas. It should have been a good time to sleep, but the lights in the Yun family girl's room were brightly lit. Qi Jueyu felt strange and frowned unconsciously. He had never thought that this girl would really copy the scriptures a hundred times.

His feet moved closer involuntarily. With a keen sense of smell, he immediately understood what was going on.

This is not hard study at all. To put it bluntly, it is more like studying your own taste buds.

"Ahhhh-"

Just as Yun Qian was immersed in her delicious evening snack, her brain was suddenly "attacked" by the system. She didn't know what the system was doing wrong, and was about to ask, but before she could say anything, she finally reacted slowly.

...Qi Jueyu, why are you standing at someone else's door so late at night? She dared to conclude that Qi Jueyu's martial arts skills were not inferior to hers.

Yun Qian adjusted her expression, frowned and thought secretly.

"Host, what should we do?!"

A small ball of light was extremely anxious at this moment, dodging here and there. Yun Qian grabbed it with a serious look, which scared it into silence.

"Stop, have you noticed that there is an unknown secret passage in the Zen room where I live?"

Yun Qian discovered this on the first day she moved in here. Under the edge of the bed where she slept... there was nothing. She didn't rush in at that time, but secretly kept an eye on it and observed whether there was any movement inside. She thought it was some secret of the temple, but who in Qianqiu Temple needed a place like this?

The people outside were still standing. Yun Qian released the system. It was self-evident what she wanted to do.

"what--"

A woman's scream came from the room. Qi Jueyu frowned, his intuition was not good. He then tried to sense the movement inside... Obviously, the person inside was gone.

Without any hesitation, Qi Jueyu pushed the door open and walked in. Looking at the gap on the ground, Qi Jueyu's eyes were very deep. The things inside... couldn't let her see it.

How did she fall in there? He had said earlier that he would seal this place off, but it was such a coincidence that she ended up living here.

It was pointless to think any more at this point. Qi Jueyu shook his head inwardly, striding forward with his long legs. He reached the bedside and peered intently at the gap leading to the secret passage, his mind swirling with thoughts. He had known from the beginning that the girl from the Yun family wouldn't come here for no apparent reason, but Yun Qian's behavior had made him let down his guard.

She was just a spoiled, arrogant lady, used to a life of luxury, and would never easily discover the secrets here. Now that she had broken into the secret passage, he had no choice but to go down and investigate for himself.

Qi Jueyu glanced down and was sure that Yun Qian had "successfully" broken through that layer of obstacle. After all, she was nowhere to be seen now. Either she had fainted inside, or... this smart woman had accidentally discovered a hidden world inside and had already started searching inside.

The man sighed softly, sighing at the trouble, but without further hesitation, he flicked his hand, extinguished the lights, and quickly left the meditation room. He stood still in the darkness, his Buddhist robes, which he had worn during the day, now shrouded by the darkness. Immediately, a secret guard appeared beside him.

"Lord,"

Luo Qi bowed, his brows furrowed. He had been squatting in front of the Yun family girl's room these days, fearing that something like this would happen. He didn't want to think about it, so he said, "Do you want me to go in directly from here and get to know her?"

Luo Qi originally thought that he would get the Lord's promise, but he didn't expect to see the Lord raise his hand and signal, rejecting his idea.

"You continue to wait here, and remember to go inside and cover up any traces. You can't kill her. Killing her is easy, but cleaning up afterward is not. Your master wants to stay in peace for a few days."

…………

Back inside, Qi Jueyu changed out of his white robes. A mullet-colored garment revealed his inherently bad nature, completely dissimilar to the calm and composed monk he had been during the day. This secret passageway naturally had several locations, and the most complete one was naturally inside his room.

He raised his hand and gently pressed it, and the mechanism at the entrance to the secret passage silently opened, revealing a dark stone staircase that wound down to an endless depth. The secret passage was dark and damp, and the air was faintly filled with the aroma of ancient medicine. With the sound of footsteps, the stone lamps on the wall automatically lit up, illuminating a winding passage.

Qi Jueyu stepped into the secret passage, his steps steady and a playful sneer on his face. He naturally knew what lay at the end of this secret passage, while Yun Qian probably only knew one side of the story. As he walked forward, the lights on the stone walls cast a flickering light on his silent and cold profile, as if both he and his shadow were absorbed into the shadows of the secret passage.

Along the way, ancient inscriptions and incantations were etched on the stone walls, seemingly designed to confuse outsiders. Any trespasser would most likely be trapped. Qi Jueyu, however, didn't pause. With his hands clasped behind his back, he seemed to understand the situation well, steadily pacing through the darkness. His mullet-lined garment shone faintly, its snug fabric accentuating his imposing, imposing figure, belying his gentle, daytime Buddhist image.

Finally, he stopped walking, his gaze fixed on the secret room ahead. Qi Jueyu chuckled softly, his voice low and cold: "Little girl, you'd better pray that you don't see anything you shouldn't."

On the other side of the stone gate, Yun Qian was surveying her surroundings, her eyes narrowed slightly. Before her lay a vast stone chamber, its walls lined with old books and sealed objects. The air was thick with the aroma of medicine and rust. A few conjectures surfaced in her mind, but before she could fully comprehend them, she heard light footsteps behind her.

Qi Jueyu emerged from the stone gate, his calm gaze fixed on her through the dim light, a hint of sarcasm and provocation in his eyes, as if he were looking at a stranger who had just entered a forbidden area. He said nothing, simply raised his hand slightly, indicating a nearby stone shelf, and scoffed, "Since you're so curious, why not take a scroll yourself and have a closer look?"

Yun Qian was completely silent. She thought that she had lived a comfortable life for too long and had become dull. The system was also... It used to remind her, but now there was nothing.

The woman feigned confusion and slowly turned around. "Qi Jueyu, are you here looking for me?"

The handsome man was standing still at the stone gate. When he heard her calling his name, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.

"What do you think? The girl of the Yun family, Yun Qian, the most beloved niece of Queen Yun, the future Crown Princess."

Qi Jueyu seemed to have no intention of pretending anymore and spoke openly, but when he mentioned the future Crown Princess, he stretched out his tone and the sarcasm in his words was so full that it was about to overflow.
