After the modification to be ruthless, the big guys begged me to pamper them on their knees?

But, it's too late!

The person who came also saw her, and grabbed her shoulders almost in the blink of an eye!

"Junior sister, is that you? Why are you here?" Pei Linjue grabbed Liu Mengqing, his eyes full of confusion. Wasn't she in seclusion?

How come you're here?

"Second Brother? Why are you here?"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Liu Mengqing immediately turned around and looked at Pei Linjue in surprise.

"Your fourth senior brother has gone astray, so I came here to look for the Pure Heart Lotus seeds." Pei Linjue sighed, then responded with a look of suspicion on his face:

"Aren't you in seclusion recuperating? Why are you here?"

"...I, I'm here to help Fourth Senior Brother find lotus seeds too!"

Liu Mengqing said seriously, "Actually, after my retreat, I accidentally fell asleep. After falling asleep, I had a dream. I dreamed that my fourth senior brother had gone astray and the situation was very urgent. He urgently needed lotus seeds to cure his illness. I heard that the Beichen family had lotus seeds, and I was worried that someone would steal them, so I didn't tell my senior brothers and secretly went down the mountain alone to look for lotus seeds."

When she said this, she didn't care whether Pei Linjue believed it or not, and said directly:

"Unfortunately, I'm still late. I heard that all the Pure Heart Lotus seeds are gone. Second Brother, we can only look for them somewhere else."

"Where did you hear that?" Pei Linjue frowned. He had just arrived here, but the lotus seeds were gone?

"Brother, you don't know, I heard that the Beichen family invited a master named Fuxian to treat the illness, and that master has already taken the lotus seeds away."

Liu Mengqing was eager to leave here. Speaking of this, he even felt a little grateful to Fu Xian:

"Everyone in the city knows about this. You can find out by asking anyone."

Pei Linjue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and laughed, "So that's how it is. There should still be some lotus seeds. Little Junior Sister, you may not know that when I was looking for Holy Spirit Water for you, two lotus seeds appeared at the auction. Both were bought by people from the Beichen family. Even if that master wanted to use them, he wouldn't use two at once. If we go and ask for them now, there should still be some."

"The other one is gone too!"

Liu Mengqing blurted out and said hurriedly: "Brother, don't look here, let's go look somewhere else!"

"How do you know the other one is gone?" Pei Linjue was confused. "Junior Sister, why are you acting strangely today? Could it be that your injury from last time hasn't fully healed, and so you've been affected?"

"Of course it's because of me..."

Liu Mengqing stopped talking mid-sentence, almost revealing that she had fed the lotus seeds to Pei Linjue herself. Realizing that she was on the wrong track, she abruptly changed the subject, almost biting her tongue before she managed to evade Pei Linjue: "I, I'm fine, I'm fine. I just heard that lotus seeds are precious. If Master Fuxian wants to use them, he will definitely use two, right?"

Pei Linjue shook his head and explained, "Junior sister, you don't understand pharmacology. You can't use too many lotus seeds at once. If someone with a chronic illness uses too much medicine, it's very likely to backfire. The lotus seeds must still be there. Since you're also here looking for them, why not come with me? It's better to see it with your own eyes than to hear about it."

He did not doubt the truth of Liu Mengqing's words, but just thought that she was acting like that because she believed the rumors.

After saying this, he took her to the main residence of the Beichen family.

"Second Brother, I, I won't go, I..."

Liu Mengqing couldn't think of a reason, and before he could finish his words, he was interrupted:

"Junior sister, since you have come down the mountain, you should behave like a disciple of the sect. Don't be shy and come with me. Since you are also here to look for lotus seeds, how can you know that the lotus seeds are really gone if you don't come with me?" Pei Linjue began to preach, asking Liu Mengqing not to believe in rumors. No matter how Liu Mengqing refused, he just thought that she was shy and didn't dare to come, so he must take her to practice her courage!

Liu Mengqing's silver teeth were almost broken.

I knew earlier...

If she had known that she would meet Pei Linjue here, she should not have gone out just now!

Now, if I really go back to Beichen’s house, what should I do if I get recognized?
