The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator

Having resolved a worry, Su Yuanyuan's mood improved considerably. On her way back, she bought two gold hairpins at a jewelry store.

A gold-inlaid butterfly tassel hairpin was the one Su Yuanyuan fell in love with at first sight. The butterfly on it was so lifelike that its wings would flutter when it walked.

There was another magnolia-shaped gold hairpin that was more elegant, but just because it was solid, she wanted to buy it and keep it.

When she returned, Lu Xiaofeng was also there. The two of them sat together, talking about something. Hua Manlou was the first to notice her return.

He turned his head slightly towards her, poured a cup of tea, placed it on the table, and gestured for her to come and sit down.

Now Su Yuanyuan can't leave. They've already poured you tea, so it wouldn't be right for you not to go over and have a sip.

"Young Master Hua, Young Master Lu, what are you talking about?"

Lu Xiaofeng frowned, clearly something was on his mind, but when she sat down, he only gave a slight smile.

"Miss Su, I'm troubled by something."

Su Yuanyuan glanced at him. She had only asked casually, but why was this person so informal?

"Oh."

Hua Manlou coughed lightly, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at him, then looked at Su Yuanyuan, her tone carrying a hint of amusement.

"Aren't you curious, Miss Su, about what's troubling me?"

Su Yuanyuan stared at him for a while, and Lu Xiaofeng smiled back at her.

In the end, Su Yuanyuan gave in and smiled helplessly.

"What troubles you, Young Master Lu?"

"Jin Jiuling of the Six Doors has been missing for more than a month."

Su Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow. "So?"

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his mustache and spoke with a hint of meaning.

“I’ve been investigating for a few days, and someone said they saw him disappear into thin air, and the location where he disappeared just happened to be near the place where Miss Su has been frequenting these past few days.”

"Lu Xiaofeng!"

Perhaps sensing that his tone was somewhat unpleasant, Hua Manlou frowned and gently called out to him.

Su Yuanyuan took a sip of tea and looked at him with a natural expression.

"What do you want to say?"

"We still don't know where Miss Su is from, where she lived before, or why she came to Luoyang."

Lu Xiaofeng ignored Hua Manlou and stared intently at Su Yuanyuan, his tone somewhat serious.

Su Yuanyuan sighed inwardly. Who could have imagined that the flow of time would be different in the two worlds?

She killed Jin Jiuling when she was ten years old, and five years have passed since then. Jin Jiuling here has only been missing for a little over a month. It's really too illogical.

“I have lived with my master in Medicine King Valley since I was a child. I came out this time for training. As for Jin Jiuling you mentioned, I have never even heard of him.”

After she finished speaking, the two looked at her with doubt, and Lu Xiaofeng pondered for a while.

"Miss Su, I've never heard of Medicine King Valley. Where is it?"

Su Yuanyuan shrugged helplessly. "To be honest, I can't find it now either. I've never left the valley since I can remember. This is my first time out here, and the first town I saw was Luoyang."

That wasn't entirely untrue, she sighed again, "I just couldn't find my way back, so I decided to stay in Luoyang and search slowly."

Hua Manlou poured her another cup of tea, offering gentle words of comfort.

“Miss Su, don’t worry. My family has some connections, and I’ll have them keep an eye out for it.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded, then quickly agreed again, remembering that he couldn't see.

She looked at Lu Xiaofeng again; he was deep in thought.

"Young Master Lu, is there anything else you would like to ask?"

"Ah, no, I'm sorry, Miss Su, it's just my duty."

Lu Xiaofeng snapped out of his daze and quickly apologized. He wasn't doubting Su Yuanyuan; he could tell at a glance that Su Yuanyuan didn't know martial arts and couldn't possibly have killed Jin Jiuling.

However, no one had seen her before she appeared, and the location where she appeared was so coincidentally the same as the location where Jin Jiuling disappeared.

She shook her head, indicating that she didn't take it to heart, then stood up to say goodbye to the two of them and went straight back to her room.

Back in her room, Su Yuanyuan's face flashed with a barely perceptible smile, which disappeared in an instant and was quickly concealed.

After she closed the door, Hua Manlou looked at Lu Xiaofeng again and said, "You were a bit too direct with your question just now."

"Because I didn't suspect Miss Su, I asked a bit directly. It seems I might be disliked."

Lu Xiaofeng gave a wry smile and rubbed his nose. "Where do you think Jin Jiuling could go?"

Hua Manlou smiled faintly, showing no sign of anxiety. "I'm not familiar with Officer Jin, so I don't know where he might be going."

Finally, Lu Xiaofeng left with a worried look on his face, while Hua Manlou looked in the direction of Su Yuanyuan's room and sighed almost imperceptibly.

Su Yuanyuan sat on the stool, mentally negotiating with the system.

[System, this is a small matter; you're always the one drawing the prizes anyway.]

[Host, you just want to slack off.]

Su Yuanyuan chuckled, speaking in a tone that suggested they were good buddies.

We're practically family, I trust you with this. Just let me know if you get something good.

[The host isn't afraid that I'll take a cut.]

Hey! Money is just an external thing; if you've already smoked it, so be it.

"...See if I believe you or not."

Su Yuanyuan blinked innocently and shamelessly acted coquettishly towards the system.

Please help me! It's so troublesome to participate in the daily lottery, could you please do it for me?

"Just be normal... I'll help you, don't disgust me."

Su Yuanyuan didn't care about the system's fate. Seeing that it was willing to help, she happily tossed it aside and went into her space to take a bath.

From now on, she won't need to participate in the lottery herself; the system will draw prizes for her every day, and she can simply put the winnings into her space.

The system will only notify her if she draws something useful or a good item.

The system was speechless at her use-and-discard behavior; if they weren't part of the same system, it would definitely cause her some trouble.

Unfortunately, it can only be bound to this one host and can only plan for her.

If she's comfortable, she won't think about quitting, and it can continue to exist. Sometimes, the emergence of sentience isn't a good thing; being afraid of death becomes the biggest flaw.

Lu Xiaofeng has been missing for a long time, probably because the case of Jin Jiuling's disappearance has not been solved. Su Yuanyuan could only feel sorry for him for two seconds.

She then asked Hua Manlou if the courtyard had been found, and he always apologized and told her to wait a little longer.

Su Yuanyuan belatedly realized that Hua Manlou didn't want her to move out. Could it be that the system was right and Hua Manlou liked her?

After that, Hua Manlou started frequently asking her out, buying her little trinkets, and taking meticulous care of her life.

She didn't want to be so narcissistic, but Hua Manlou's completely undisguised behavior would make anyone overthink things.

She was truly certain that Hua Manlou liked her on Qixi Festival when he invited her out to see the lanterns.

She's not stupid; of course she knows what Qixi Festival is. She was planning to stay in her room all day.

This left her completely bewildered. In all her life, this was the first time someone had asked her out on Valentine's Day with such an obvious intention.
