Xue Yang's thoughts raced. He felt as if he were in an unknown place with no way out, so he had to be careful with every step. He quietly moved through the depths of the courtyard, trying to find more secrets about the mansion and its owner.

Suddenly, a faint voice came from the pavilion not far away. Xue Yang quickly concealed himself and approached to listen. It turned out that Hong Fei was whispering with a man he had never met before. Although the voice was soft, it couldn't hide the intimacy and familiarity between them. Xue Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly guessed that this man might be Wei Wuxian.

"Wei Wuxian, you should drink less, you've almost emptied my wine cellar. Jiang Cheng doesn't care how much you drink, he's really good to you." Hong Fei's voice was teasing and playful, but it also revealed her indulgence of Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian's voice was gentle yet firm: "Don't worry, Hongfei, I know what I'm doing. But this wine? I absolutely have to drink it, because Hongfei, your wine is just too delicious."

Hearing this, Xue Yang became even more convinced of his thoughts. Otherwise, why would Hong Fei and Wei Wuxian be so close? And he himself would probably be Hong Fei's next target. He sighed softly and was about to turn and leave when he accidentally touched a flower branch beside him, making a slight sound.

The conversation in the pavilion abruptly ended, and then two curious gazes seemed to pierce through the night, looking directly at where Xue Yang was hiding. Xue Yang sensed something was wrong, and in a flash, he swiftly darted towards the outside of the courtyard wall.

"Who is it!" Hong Fei's voice carried a hint of casualness. She and Wei Wuxian saw Xue Yang's fleeing figure almost at the same time. Hong Fei and Wei Wuxian were in the pavilion, looking at the direction Xue Yang left with complicated expressions.

Wei Wuxian looked at Hong Fei with a puzzled expression and asked, "Is this the person you brought back today? What is he doing?"

Hong Fei was also completely baffled, and shook her head, replying, "I don't know either."

Xue Yang ran wildly through the night, feeling both relief at his escape and uncertainty about the future. He felt that his relationship with this mansion, with Hong Fei, Wei Wuxian, and even Jiang Cheng was already inextricably intertwined. How could he find a way to protect himself within this complex courtyard?

As night deepened, Xue Yang quickly ran back to his guest room. He closed the doors and windows, cautiously lay down, and gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, Xue Yang woke up early. He felt he shouldn't sit idly by and wait for his fate, but should take the initiative, so he consciously went out of his room. He wanted to find Hong Fei and negotiate with her.

But to his surprise, after searching the entire manor, he couldn't find Hong Fei anywhere. Instead, he spotted Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian was learning to brew wine from the steward, while Jiang Cheng was feeding the pets.

Xue Yang awkwardly walked up to Jiang Cheng and asked, "Do you know where Hong Fei is?"

Jiang Cheng was focused on feeding his pet when he suddenly heard someone speak behind him. Turning around, he saw Xue Yang. Hearing Xue Yang ask where Hong Fei was, Jiang Cheng replied, "Hong Fei has already left. If you're looking for her, she shouldn't be back for a few days."

When Xue Yang heard Jiang Cheng say that Hong Fei wasn't there, he could only sullenly reply with an "oh".

Xue Yang watched Jiang Cheng feed the pets listlessly when his stomach suddenly growled. Jiang Cheng heard it too, turned to Xue Yang and said, "If you're hungry, go find the housekeeper; she'll prepare food for you."

Xue Yang, barely suppressing his embarrassment, said to Jiang Cheng, "Thank you, I understand."

Xue Yang turned around and went to find the butler, while Jiang Cheng continued feeding the pets.

Hong Fei left her private residence early this morning and appeared outside Kuizhou City. Hong Fei carefully searched the Kuizhou area, feeling that there should be a spatial teleportation point here. Since the last world upgrade, Hong Fei had a vague sense of spatial teleportation points, although she was not very clear about them, she could roughly sense where they would appear.

Just like when Hong Fei came to the world of The Untamed, she had a premonition. Wherever the chosen ones of this world exist, there are spatial teleportation points. Although Xue Yang is a villain, villains also possess destiny.

After searching extensively, Hongfei finally found a spatial coordinate point in a valley surrounded by mountains.

Hong Fei opened the spatial coordinates and appeared on a teleportation platform. It was engraved with the mark of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, so this was a teleportation platform leading to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers. Hong Fei was overjoyed; she could finally go find Jiang Yanli. But she wondered if Jiang Yanli would like the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers' heritage.

Hong Fei didn't go directly into the Valley of a Thousand Flowers, but returned to her private residence. Little did Hong Fei know that a good show was unfolding in her private residence.

This whole thing was actually Wei Wuxian's doing. After Hong Fei left the private residence that day, Xue Yang couldn't find her. He ran into Jiang Cheng, who told him to go find the steward for dinner. Xue Yang obediently went, since he was hungry anyway and didn't want to go hungry.

After finishing his meal, Xue Yang strolled around the manor and unexpectedly ran into Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian thought to himself, "What should I do? We might all become heirs of the sects in JX3 in the future." With the aim of building a good relationship, he greeted Xue Yang first. "Yo, hello there! You must be Xue Yang? I'm Wei Wuxian. Want to have a drink together?" he said, raising the wine jug in his hand.

Xue Yang, also intending to gather information, agreed to drink with Wei Wuxian. After a few drinks, Xue Yang began subtly probing, trying to find out about the situation in the manor and the relationships between people. No matter how clever Xue Yang was, he was no match for Wei Wuxian. And who was Wei Wuxian? He was an exceptionally intelligent fellow. Before Xue Yang could glean much information, Wei Wuxian had already tricked him into revealing his suspicions.

Who is Wei Wuxian? He's the kind of person who thrives on chaos. Wei Wuxian subtly probed Xue Yang again, to see how much he knew about the world of Jianwang 3. He discovered that Xue Yang knew absolutely nothing and even mistook him and Jiang Cheng for Hong Fei's kept men. How could Wei Wuxian miss out on such an amusing situation?

Moreover, through his conversation with Xue Yang, Wei Wuxian could guess that Hong Fei must have done something to cause Xue Yang to misunderstand, and he hadn't explained the reason clearly, which was why Xue Yang misunderstood him and Jiang Cheng.

Given Wei Wuxian's playful nature, how could he possibly be kind enough to explain things to Xue Yang? Instead, he went along with Xue Yang's train of thought, leading him astray.

Wei Wuxian even put on an act in front of Xue Yang, completely fooling him. Xue Yang actually believed that Hong Fei had some bad intentions towards him, which made Xue Yang very conflicted, his brows almost knotted together.
