I'm in the world of Xianjian

When Lin Shen, Li Xiaoyao and the other two opened their eyes again, the five of them had already entered the capital. Lin Yueru said, "Then let's go see Aunt Yun first?"

Lin Shen said, "If I remember correctly, the antique dealer's luggage is still in your hands. Why don't you return the luggage first and then go."

Li Xiaoyao said, "That makes sense. Let's go return the luggage first."

So they followed the address written on the luggage and found the antique dealer's residence, where a middle-aged woman lived.

Li Xiaoyao and his companions knocked on the door. The woman asked them the purpose of their visit. Li Xiaoyao told her that the antique dealer was dead and where he was buried.

The woman was very sad, but she still thanked the people for coming to tell her the news, and handed the purple gold gourd she bought from the antique dealer to Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao didn't want to accept it at first, but after the woman's repeated requests, he finally accepted it.

As they left the antique shop, Li Xiaoyao looked at the gourd in his hand and noticed a spell on the bottom. There was also a line of small words explaining that this spell could suck monsters into the gourd and refine them.

Anu said, "This gourd is a treasure."

Li Xiaoyao said, "It seems so. I'll take it then."

Lin Yueru said, "Anos, you don't want it?"

Lin Shen said, "No need, I have a lot of magic weapons on me."

Lin Yueru said, "Well, let's go see Aunt Yun. It's getting late."

So a few people followed Lin Yueru through the busy streets and saw a mansion beside a pond. There were three big words written on the plaque: Shangshu Mansion.

Li Xiaoyao was stunned when he saw it and said, "Yueru, how come Liu Jinyuan's home is... is it the Shangshu Mansion? Aunt Yun is the Shangshu's wife?"

Lin Yueru said, "Yes, Uncle Liu is a Grand Secretary of the current dynasty, and he is a second-rank minister of rites. Now his house is twice as big as mine."

Li Xiaoyao said, "But...but I am most afraid of dealing with officials."

Lin Yueru said, "Don't worry, no one treats you as outsiders. The Liu family and our Lin family are old friends. When I was a child, before the Liu family passed the imperial examination, they all stayed at my house. Let's go!"

So Lin Yueru asked the servant at the door to go in and report. After a while, the servant brought Lin Shen and his party into the main hall of the Shangshu Mansion.

A middle-aged woman in luxurious clothes and two people dressed as maids were waiting for them in the center of the main hall.

Lin Yueru stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Auntie Yun, Yueru greets you. How are you doing recently?"

The middle-aged woman said, "My dear little girl. I haven't seen you for many years. You have become more beautiful. It seems that you will have no problem finding a husband."

Lin Yueru said, "Oh, Aunt Yun, please stop making fun of me."

Aunt Yun looked at the two men and asked, "Excuse me, who is Anos?"

Lin Shen took a step forward, bowed to Aunt Yun and said, "My name is Anos, nice to meet you, Madam Liu." Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger, and Anu also introduced themselves.

Auntie Yun said, "Don't be so formal. You can call me Auntie Yun just like Yueru does. I have always treated Yueru as my own daughter, so we are all family."

Lin Yueru said shyly, "Aunt Yun, between him and me...still..." Lin Yueru's face suddenly turned as red as a big red cloth.

Aunt Yun sighed and said, "Alas, it's a pity that Jin Yuan doesn't have that blessing. Aunt Yun always hoped that you could become our daughter-in-law. If you could marry into our Liu family...how wonderful it would be."

Lin Yueru said, "Since I was a child, I have only regarded Brother Jin Yuan as my elder brother and never thought about these things."

Aunt Yun said, "I know, but unfortunately Jin Yuan is too weak and you won't like him. It's a pity that he is sick now and can't come to see you."

Lin Yueru was stunned after hearing this and said, "What's wrong? Brother Jin Yuan is sick? Can I go see him?"

Aunt Yun said, "Of course. He's recuperating in the wing room in the back garden. He'll be very happy if you go see him."

After exchanging greetings, several people went out from the side door of the main hall and walked slowly along a long corridor.

Anu said, "Brother Anos, you promised before that you would treat us to a meal."

Lin Shen said, "I think you are a greedy cat among the twelve zodiac signs. Okay, after seeing Liu Jinyuan, go buy some sugar and make it for you."

Lin Yueru said, "Why go out to buy it? Why not just ask Aunt Yun for some?"

Lin Shen looked embarrassed and said, "Is this... okay?"

Lin Yueru said, "Just treat this as your own home. Don't be so reserved."

Lin Shen said, "Okay."

While they were talking, they walked through the corridor and turned right to see a garden.

There are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants here, and the fragrance of various flowers blends together to produce a special fragrance. Opposite the garden is a two-story building.

Lin Yueru said, "This is it. Brother Jin Yuan should be recuperating here."

Li Xiaoyao said, "The fragrance of flowers here is refreshing, and it's quiet and pleasant. It's a great place to rest and recuperate."

Several people entered the small building, and as soon as they entered, an even stronger floral fragrance hit them in the face.

Lin Shen said, "The fragrance of flowers outside is strong enough, but I didn't expect it to be even stronger inside. Fortunately, there are no people here who are allergic to pollen, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble."

Zhao Linger asked, "What does allergy mean?"

Lin Shen said, "To put it simply, some people have special physical reactions to certain items.

For example, some people will sneeze when they smell pollen, some will get red bumps on their faces after eating shrimp, and some will have shortness of breath and accelerated heartbeat after drinking alcohol, etc.

Some serious cases can even lead to death, but it also depends on the person's physical condition."

Lin Yueru was surprised and asked, "Is there any way to solve this problem?"

Lin Shen said, "The simplest way is to avoid touching things that may cause allergies.

There are also cases of forced desensitization through forced contact, but it depends on the situation. After all, it’s better not to touch something that could kill you.”

Lin Shen saw that there were hundreds of flower pots on the first floor alone, with various flowers planted in them. The same was true on the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, with two pots of flowers planted on every other step.

From the stairs on the second floor to the wing room, there is almost a flower pot every three steps.

Lin Shen asked, "Yueru, were there so many flowers when you came here before?"

Lin Yueru shook her head and said, "No."

Zhao Linger said, "This person must really love flowers to be able to plant so many flowers."

Lin Shen thought for a moment and said, "Yueru, I have something to say, please don't be unhappy to hear it."

Lin Yueru said, "Go ahead."

Lin Shen said, "Although these flowers are beautiful, they... give people the feeling that they are a bit over-planted. Most people don't plant that many flowers."

Lin Yueru said, "Maybe it was planted by someone else."

Lin Shen thought: This is probably Cai Yi's fault, but she's not some evil spirit. Never mind, I'd better not point it out.

They continued walking, and when they reached the end, Lin Yueru knocked on the door a few times and said, "Brother Jinyuan, I'm Yueru. I'm here to see you."

There was no response from inside, and after a while, they heard a "bang~" sound. Thinking something was wrong inside, they broke into the room...
