What to do if you receive the wrong package?

To prevent the large number of people on the return trip from attracting unnecessary attention, the six people who explored Qingri Peak split into three groups and returned to Wutong Courtyard from different directions after descending the mountain.

Not long after Li Hengzhi and Bai Heming returned to their room, they saw Su Huaiqi and Yu Zechuan walk in.

"Brother Bai." Su Huaiqi stood in the courtyard and waved to Bai Heming in the room through the window.

"What's wrong, Miss Qiqi? Is something the matter?" Bai Heming and Li Hengzhi pushed open the door and came out. The four of them sat on the stone bench in the courtyard.

"I'm fine, I just wanted to ask if you found anything in Ayan's letter?" Su Huaiqi rubbed her hands a little embarrassedly. After all, Bai Heming ran away after reading the letter, which made her really curious about why Bai Heming was in such a hurry to leave.

Bai Heming was taken aback by Su Huaiqi's question. Then, remembering his reaction after seeing the letter, he could only pretend to suddenly realize something and said, "I remember now. It's not because I found anything in the letter, but because I suddenly remembered an anomaly I found during the search of Qingri Peak, so I left in a hurry."

After hearing Bai Heming's explanation, Su Huaiqi immediately thought of what the seniors had said about the investigation after they returned, and nodded to indicate that she understood.

"Oh, okay, then I'm fine with it. But it seems like Ayu needs to talk to Brother Li."

Upon hearing this, Li Bai and the other person simultaneously turned to look at Yu Zechuan with puzzled expressions.

Yu Zechuan nodded and explained, "I discussed a business deal with Yun Hailong a few days ago, and today I suddenly received a letter from him inviting me to come to the restaurant tonight for a detailed discussion. So I would like to ask Brother Li to accompany me. I wonder if Brother Li is available?"

Li Hengzhi thought back to their previous plan, which was indeed to have Yu Zechuan become the manager of the Huzhou branch of Wutong Mountain Villa, but he didn't expect that he would actually start doing business with Yun Hailong.

"No problem, I'll go with you. But in what capacity should I go?"

Yu Zechuan gave Li Hengzhi a slightly apologetic smile, "I may have to trouble you a little, Brother Li. I need you to play the role of my servant and bodyguard. You are also from Wutong Manor, but just an ordinary disciple named Yu Hu."

Upon hearing this, Li Hengzhi nodded, "It's alright. We can take this opportunity to subtly inquire about Miss Xi with Yun Hailong."

“I have a question.” Su Huaiqi silently raised his hand and asked with some concern, “Business is usually discussed in restaurants, so why did Yun Hailong invite you to Weiyu Tower? Could it be that he has discovered something and wants to do something to you?”

Bai Heming somewhat agreed with Su Huaiqi's idea and continued, "What Miss Qiqi said makes some sense. Moreover, Yun Hailong shouldn't be so busy lately because Xi Zhenzhen was rescued. Why would he suddenly invite you to talk business?"

“I’ve considered all the situations you mentioned, but since Yun Hailong invited me, I’m determined to brave any danger, no matter what. Besides, Brother Li is with me this time, so there shouldn’t be any problems.” Yu Zechuan gave the two of them a reassuring look.

Li Hengzhi also reassured them, "Yes, don't worry. Weiyu Tower can't hold us back."

Afterwards, Li Hengzhi and Yu Zechuan briefly discussed some details, ensuring that at least the two of them wouldn't expose themselves due to mismatched information.

The entire afternoon passed by in the blink of an eye.

Su Huaiqi stood at the connecting corridor by the entrance, looking at Li Hengzhi who had changed his clothes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Even though it was just a simple and plain gray guard uniform, how come it looked so sophisticated on Li Hengzhi?

Good-looking people look good in anything.

Seeing that Su Huaiqi was staring intently at Li Hengzhi, Yu Zechuan coughed lightly twice in an attempt to get her attention.

Hearing the voice beside him, Su Huaiqi snapped out of her daze, slowly shifted her gaze to Yu Zechuan, and asked with a smile, pretending nothing had happened:

"Looks like everything's ready?"

"Okay, we're about to leave, so you stay here and don't wander off." Yu Zechuan was a little helpless, but he didn't know what to say, so he just raised his hand and ruffled the stray hairs on Su Huaiqi's forehead.

"Oh, don't worry, don't worry, I promise I won't leave the house." Su Huaiqi quickly raised his head to protect it, silently took a step back, and glared at Yu Zechuan with some resentment.

Bai Heming smiled as he watched the two playfully bickering, and said to Li Hengzhi, "Be careful, and come back soon."

After saying their goodbyes, Yu Zechuan led Li Hengzhi to the carriage at the entrance and headed straight for Weiyu Tower.

Su Huaiqi watched the carriage disappear from the doorway, then turned and approached Bai Heming, asking about the details of today's investigation.

"Brother Bai, when Senior Mu came back today, he said you found a cave full of good stuff. What kind of good stuff is inside?"

Originally, she asked Mu Qing first, but Mu Qing played games with her, refusing to tell her what was going on, and even told her that a young girl like her should stay out of it.

This really angered her!

If her current physical body weren't so weak in combat, she would have already used her fists.

Hmph, anyway, Senior Mu Qing wasn't the only one who went to explore Qingri Peak. Since he won't talk about it, let's find someone who can.

And this eloquent person is none other than Bai Heming, who is standing right in front of us.

Bai Heming looked at Su Huaiqi's face full of curiosity, but was afraid of scaring her if he said it directly. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "There are indeed some troublesome things in the cave, but with some methods, they can also become real good things."

"Troublesome?! Brother Bai, stop beating around the bush and just tell me. I'm not afraid." Bai Heming's words made Su Huaiqi even more curious, and he wished he could go with them next time they went out to investigate.

Seeing Su Huaiqi's resolute expression, Bai Heming had no choice but to tell the truth: "There is a stone door in the cave, and we don't know what's behind it. But guarding the stone door are countless snakes and a giant python that is more than a person thick."

"Oh my god. Is it that... exciting?!"

Su Huaiqi suppressed her excitement, widened her eyes, and silently completed the sentence she hadn't finished saying. After all, given her current status, snakes and pythons should be things that terrified her, not things that excited her.

Bai Heming looked at Su Huaiqi, whose expression was a bit strange, and thought that he was frightened by his words, so he quickly comforted him: "Miss Qiqi, don't be afraid. Those snakes seem to be restricted by something and cannot leave the cave, so the Wutong Courtyard is very safe, and you are safe too."

"Ah... okay, Brother Bai, don't worry, I'm fine." Su Huaiqi was both amused and exasperated by Bai Heming's comforting words, and could only nod to indicate that she was alright.

However, since Bai Heming mentioned the snakes, Su Huaiqi immediately thought of the little black snake in the backyard that had been eating and drinking for several days.

Ever since she fed the little black snake a few times, every time she appeared at mealtimes, she would see the little black snake wagging its tail tip, tilting its little head, and obediently coiling itself around the branch waiting for her.

Sometimes she would even receive a gift in return from the little black snake.

Some return gifts that I didn't really want.

For example, dead rats and dead toads.

As he pondered, Su Huaiqi suddenly had a wild idea: could he send the little black snake as an "envoy" to accompany Bai Heming to persuade the snakes in the cave to stop fighting and instead do each other a favor?

"By the way, Brother Bai, since there are snakes and giant pythons in the cave, do you have any ideas on how to deal with them?" Although Su Huaiqi's idea was good, it still depended on how Bai Heming and the others dealt with it.

Bai Heming shook his head. "Although Hengzhi and I didn't kill the giant python today, we did seriously injure it. The python's martial arts skills aren't particularly strong. However, it can spew poisonous mist, and the mist is very potent. Therefore, Hengzhi and I would like to ask a few seniors for their help to see if we can come up with a solution."

Su Huaiqi nodded knowingly. Since they hadn't decided what to do yet, it meant that it was possible for the little black snake to act as an "envoy".

Thinking of this, Su Huaiqi immediately perked up. After decisively bidding farewell to Bai Heming, he headed straight for the backyard with great enthusiasm, even stopping by the kitchen along the way to grab two steaming hot, freshly steamed buns as a "gift".

Haha, little blackie, here I come!
