After being read by the mind, my apprentice wanted to rebel

However, not long after, Lin Xian'er's attention, which was originally focused on something, was instantly pulled away as if by an invisible hand and quickly shifted.

Xie Qijun asked thoughtfully, "Master, do you have any magical instruments that can be used to investigate? After all, the Imperial Study is a vital location in the palace. If we rush in recklessly, it might be very disadvantageous to us. Although I really want to retrieve the jade pendant, Master's safety is the most important thing to me right now."

Hearing this, Qi Miao's heart skipped a beat and he exclaimed inwardly: "What? They are actually planning to break into the imperial study? Oh my God! I guessed that these two guys would definitely make a big fuss, and sure enough! Now it's great, I don't know if I can get out of this storm safely and unscathed this time. Oh my God, my fragile little heart, I'm afraid it will be scared and go on strike sooner or later!" Thinking of this, Qi Miao couldn't help but sighed, his face full of worry.

At this time, Lin Xian'er finally came back to her senses, and responded as if she had suddenly realized something: "Magic weapon? Oh oh oh, let me look for it..." As she said that, she pretended to start rummaging through her storage bag.

Lin Xian'er pondered inwardly, "Hey, yeah, I can just pull out a random magical instrument and lie that it's detected the jade pendant's precise location. That way, when I tell Xie Qijun the jade pendant's location later, no one will be suspicious. Wow, how can I be so clever? I'm a genius."

[Host, you are truly brilliant. However, Xie Qijun's words just now sounded a bit strange to me.]

Click~, Xie Qijun looked at Lin Xian'er a little nervously. Did she understand what he meant by implicitly?

Is it strange? Lin Xian'er didn't think so. It was quite normal. She was a simple-minded person and didn't have time to think too much. After a serious search, Lin Xian'er pulled out a thing that looked like a little mouse from her storage bag like a magic trick.

Then, she introduced it to Xie Qijun in a serious tone, "My disciple, do you see this? This magical tool is specially good at finding all kinds of items. As long as you can carefully describe the pattern of the jade pendant and show it to it, it will automatically run out to help us find it."

Alas! Xie Qijun couldn't help but feel a faint sense of loss, as if a dark cloud had quietly obscured his once clear heart. However, this sense of loss didn't last long, just like the morning mist quickly dissipated by the rising sun. Soon, he took a deep breath and secretly encouraged himself, his determined eyes like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

Then, without hesitation, he reached for the neatly arranged paper and pen on the table. His movements were light and practiced. He leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed on the paper, his pen dancing across the pristine white paper like a nimble dancer. Slowly, a vivid, perfectly rendered drawing of the jade pendant emerged from the paper.

At this time, Lin Xian'er stood quietly on the side, her beautiful eyes staring at Xie Qijun who was concentrating on his painting.

Lin Xian'er couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "Wow, this... this is too realistic. If I were to paint this, I wouldn't be able to capture even one-tenth of its charm. Oh, forget it, let's not talk about my painting skills anymore."

[Host, my strength isn't painting, so I won't compete with him.]

Thank you. Lin Xian'er was not comforted. She was speechless and just wanted to spray a mouthful of salt soda on the system. It would be better not to say anything.

Not long after, Xie Qijun finally finished the scroll. He picked up the scroll, placed it in front of the small and exquisite magical mouse, and gently showed it the painting.

The little mouse, which had been quietly lying in Lin Xian'er's hand, suddenly seemed to be infused with a powerful energy and instantly became agile. It quickly leaped from the ground and ran away at lightning speed.

Seeing this scene, Xie Qijun was stunned at first, thinking to himself: Could it be that the real function of this magic weapon is to find objects? Just as he was thinking secretly, the next moment he suddenly heard Lin Xian'er's voice beside him.

Lin Xian'er clasped her hands together in front of her chest, muttering to herself, "Poor Concubine Duan! I hope she's not afraid of those pesky rats. Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless you."

"Host, you're truly wicked! You clearly knew that Concubine Duan was most afraid of small animals, so you deliberately chose mice to scare her. Alas, let us all light a candle for Concubine Duan and pray that she can survive this ordeal safely."

Hehehe… A sly smile suddenly appeared on Lin Xianer’s pretty face. [How dare she bully my Xie Qijun? He’s my precious disciple. As a master, I naturally have to protect him well.]

Xie Qijun, standing nearby, was instantly enveloped in sweetness upon hearing these words, as if covered in a thick layer of honey from head to toe. His already handsome face now glowed with happiness, the corners of his mouth unable to be restrained from rising, his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

At this moment, Xie Qijun felt a surge of sweetness welling up from the depths of his heart, making him feel light and airy, as if he were floating on clouds. His body swayed unconsciously, as if he was intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.

However, Qi Miao on the other side shuddered involuntarily when he saw Xie Qijun's inexplicable and suddenly agitated look, muttering to himself, "Has this guy finally gone crazy? Why did he suddenly become like this?"

[Host, do I need to keep you updated on Concubine Duan's current situation? Hehe, it's quite lively over there. Concubine Duan originally summoned the Fourth Prince to the palace to discuss how to deal with you and Xie Qijun. Who could have imagined that at this critical moment, the little mouse you sent out would actually gather a group of local rat companions to join in the fun? My goodness, that group of mice jumped up and down, scurrying around the palace, frightening Concubine Duan so much that she fainted with her eyes rolled back. Hahaha, this is really hilarious.]

Wow, this is so exciting. Lin Xian'er was quite interested in watching. After all, Concubine Duan was so arrogant just now, and this was a rare opportunity. However, she had more important things to do tonight, so she could only ignore Concubine Duan's farce for the time being.
