Ye Jingtang held one woman in each arm and maintained a calm expression. With his eyes closed, he explained, “When I saw that you weren’t back, I went to burn incense for my foster father. When I heard the voices, I wanted to prank you…”

Luo Ning looked down and frowned. “We were changing our clothes… I think you did it on purpose! Hurry up and send us out!”

Pei Xiangjun’s face was burning hot, and she didn’t dare to make a sound. Hearing this, she hurriedly raised her hand and pressed the mechanism.

The bed board parted, revealing the light above.

Ye Jingtang jumped up, landed in the room, and put the two of them down.

After Pei Xiangjun landed, she hurriedly pulled up a thin blanket and covered herself tightly before secretly heaving a sigh of relief. “Jingtang, I… I didn’t hit you just now, right?”

Luo Ning felt that Third Lady was a little disappointing. “You still care if you hit him or not. He couldn’t be happier…”

As she spoke, she ran out warily, perhaps afraid that the little thief would do a twofer with one cannon.

With his eyes still closed, Ye Jingtang only said, “I’m fine. It’s already late. I’ll go out first. Third Lady, rest early.”

Pei Xiangjun’s lips moved. She wanted to ask Ye Jingtang if he had eavesdropped on their private conversation, but her heart was in a mess, and she really couldn’t organize her thoughts. She hurriedly put down the bed curtain and rolled into bed…

With his eyes closed, Ye Jingtang walked out of the boudoir, turned around, and closed the door. In the blink of an eye, he saw Ning’er wearing a white nightgown and holding a three-foot-long sword upside down. Her otherworldly face coupled with her skirt being blown by the breeze made her look like an immortal as she looked at him coldly.

Ye Jingtang walked over and covered her hand that was holding the sword. “It was really an accident just now. I saw that you were talking, so I wanted to scare you as a joke. I really didn’t notice that you weren’t wearing anything…”

Luo Ning’s expression was not very gentle. She turned around and walked to the corridor, asking coldly, “Did you hear what Third Lady said just now?”

Ye Jingtang smiled and put his arm around Ning’er’s shoulders.

Luo Ning’s shoulders twisted slightly. “Don’t push your luck. The last time in Broad Crossing, she and you treated each other’s injuries. Her innocence has already been ruined. I saw it and couldn’t ignore it, so I persuaded her… Mainly, there’s another reason.”

“What reason?”

“From the looks of it, Qiu Tianhe is fine. I estimate that he will be free in a few days. I… I have to go home.” Luo Ning’s eyes were a little conflicted when she said this. She had just fallen in love and was absolutely unwilling to separate from the little thief. But she couldn’t ignore the sisterhood that had lasted for more than ten years.

Ye Jingtang was also worried about this. They held hands and walked out of the corridor. A thought flashed in his mind. “Didn’t you tell me that you wanted me to dig out something in the Peaceful Hall? Isn’t this also your mission?”

Luo Ning stopped and remembered this. “Do you have a way?”

“Whether 1 have a way or not, 1 have to try it before I know. If you reply to the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master like this and say that you have a way, you’ll probably have to operate in the capital for a while.”

Luo Ning’s eyes flickered as she pondered for a moment. “I don’t want to lie to Xue Baijin. If you’re willing to help, I’ll say that. If you’re unwilling, I won’t lie.” “If I have the chance, I will definitely think of a way.”

Luo Ning nodded slightly and took a few steps forward. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong. If I say that, I won’t have to leave…

Then, why did 1 encourage Third Lady?

Oh, right, the little thief is too fierce. 1 can’t handle him alone…

Ye Jingtang was walking while holding Luo Ning’s hand and thinking about his future plans. Halfway through, he thought of something and asked, “After working for so long, 1 have finally completed the mission and saved Qiu Tianhe. Heroine Luo, shouldn’t you express your gratitude?”

Luo Ning blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes and said reluctantly, “Don’t pretend to claim credit. Qiu Tianhe fought Cao Qiansui to redeem himself. What does it have to do with you?”

Ye Jingtang shrugged slightly. “Without my guarantee, how could the Imperial Court have undone the restriction on Qiu Tianhe? I was using my head to give Qiu Tianhe a chance to become free. What you said is too disappointing.”

Luo Ning thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case. “Was the reward just now not enough?”

“That was an accident. I just wanted to prank you two. I didn’t even dare to open my eyes…”

Luo Ning hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the little thief had made a great contribution, she turned around and said, “I’ve been running around for most of the day. I’ll take a bath first.”

“Together.”

“Go away.. This is the Pei residence…”
