Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

Little did they know that the series of events that Shui Qilin experienced actually happened exactly in line with other people's wishes.

That night, everything was silent. Liu Qi gently closed the door and carefully took out a phantom mirror.

As he chanted the spell, a faint light appeared on the surface of the mirror, and a blurry figure gradually emerged.

When the light stabilized, Liu Qi said respectfully to the figure in the mirror:

"Master, I have successfully gained the trust of the Water Qilin. Currently, all matters are proceeding smoothly according to our original plan."

A satisfied chuckle came from the other side of the mirror:

"Haha, you did a great job, disciple! But remember, don't take it lightly and don't reveal any flaws.

The water qilin is by no means comparable to ordinary spiritual beasts.

Your master has specially investigated and found that this beast is a mythical beast left over from ancient times. For unknown reasons, it ended up in the mortal world, but its strength should not be underestimated.

Also, did you feed it the poisonous gentian?"

Hearing the master's question, Liu Qi's body stiffened slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, he replied:

"Not yet. Master is absolutely right. This Water Qilin is truly unfathomable.

Every time I sit next to it, I can clearly feel the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from its body.

That kind of pressure made the disciples dare not act rashly."

"Well, that's fine. It's always better to be cautious.

In two days it will be the full moon night, and at this time the water qilin's spiritual power will be at its weakest.

You need to seize this perfect opportunity and find a way to make it swallow the poisonous gentian.

But, what about Shen Qingge? We absolutely cannot let the two of them be together!

If the two of them join forces against you, you won't stand a chance of winning!"

Master Ji gave his beloved disciple earnest instructions.

"Disciple has thoroughly investigated the situation. Recently, Shen Qingge has been immersed in salt production all day long and rarely returns to the Shen Mansion.

From what I can see, she must be so busy that she has no time to worry about other things!"

Hearing this, Master Ji on the other side of the mirror showed an irrepressible smile on his face, and then said:

"That's great, this is God's help!

In this case, you must not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

When the moon is full, it's time to act."

"However, there are two key points here that you must keep in mind and not be careless.

First of all, this poisonous gentian is extremely cold in nature and tastes extremely bitter.

Therefore, when cooking it, you must use your brain and try your best to cover up its original coldness and bitterness.

Secondly, the toxicity of this gentian will take effect on the third day after taking it.

In other words, by then, even Shen Qingge himself would be poisoned.

As for whether you can successfully obtain the Seven Treasures Glazed Ring, it all depends on your personal ability!"

After hearing this, Liu Qi's expression became extremely serious. He responded respectfully:

"I will faithfully follow Master's orders and do my utmost to assist you in achieving this great cause. Please rest assured, Master, wait for the good news from me over there."

After saying this, Master Ji nodded slightly to show his satisfaction, then he stretched out his hand and waved it lightly, closing the phantom mirror in front of him.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of this month.

At this moment, inside the Shen Mansion, the Shen family members were sitting together in the spacious and bright main hall enjoying dinner.

The table was filled with delicious dishes, and the aroma was everywhere, but everyone's eyes kept sweeping towards an empty seat somewhere - that's where Shen Qingge and Shui Qilin should have been sitting.

Grandmother sat in the main seat, frowned slightly, and asked with a slightly dissatisfied tone:

"Butler Lu, why is our Ge'er still missing? Is she not coming back for dinner tonight?

And what about the Water Qilin? I haven't seen him anywhere either."

When Butler Lu heard his grandmother's question, he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

He bowed slightly and answered cautiously in a low voice:

"In reply to the old lady, I sent someone to the military camp an hour ago to ask the general to come back.

But... the soldiers replied that the general was still busy at the beach and it seemed that he would not be able to come back for dinner for a while.

As for Master Shui Qilin, he told me earlier that he would be attending a poetry gathering tonight to discuss literary talent with friends, so he wouldn't be coming to dinner."

After hearing Butler Lu's explanation, the slight displeasure on my grandmother's face became even more intense.

She snorted and said:

"Look at them, they are so busy all day long, spinning like a top, they can't even spare the time to sit down and have a meal.

Well, never mind, luckily we still have Chunlan, Chuanbai and other well-behaved, sensible and thoughtful little ones at home who can often accompany me, an old woman, and make me happy. "

After saying this, the grandmother turned her head and cast her loving gaze on the eight children sitting at another table.

However, the children of the Shen family refused to accept this. They chirped and made noise like little sparrows, and kept clamoring for their great-grandmother to feed them personally.

The whole main hall was suddenly filled with laughter and joy, it was so lively.

At the same time, at the other end of the Shen Mansion, Shui Qilin had already dressed up carefully.

He was wearing a light blue brocade robe, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and he was gently waving an exquisite folding fan in his hand. He looked very handsome.

Just like that, he walked out of the gate of the Shen Mansion leisurely.

When he walked all the way to Qingya Garden, he found that several scholars and writers were already sitting at the table.

These elegant scholars shook their heads and muttered to themselves as they recited their newly created poems.

Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the Water Qilin.

Seeing that the Water Qilin had finally arrived, one of them stood up without hesitation, skillfully filled a glass with fine wine, and then strode up to the Water Qilin, handed the glass steadily in front of him, and pretended to be angry, and said jokingly:

"Alas, our Lord Shui Qilin, who is so busy with affairs of state, why are you here so late today?

No matter what, you must drink three cups first!"

Upon hearing this, Shui Qilin hurriedly bowed with an apologetic look on his face, then took the wine glass without hesitation, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

After the wine went down his throat, he smacked his lips, a puzzled look on his face, and muttered to himself:

"Huh...why does this wine taste a bit bitter today? Could it be that the winemaker's skills have declined?"

At this moment, someone at the table couldn't help but burst into laughter and said jokingly:

"Who told you to come so late? If you come late, you will suffer!"

The Water Qilin shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly and responded:

"Well, well, it's really my fault, so I'll drink two more cups as a sign of my sincerity!"

As he spoke, he took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and drank two glasses in succession.
