My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 418 Lurking!

"Well, remember to be more discreet and don't get discovered."

Qin Menglin looked calm, as if it was just an insignificant matter.

Then he seemed to remember something and said:

"I remember she seemed to have a daughter."

Qin Kui immediately understood, then raised his hands, clenched them slightly and said faintly:

"I quietly went to deal with her~"

Qin Menglin thought for a moment and sighed: "Forget it, let her be. I don't think she will tell her daughter about that."

"If that's the case, just ignore her."

"it is good……"

With just a few words, a person's fate is decided by them.

The bleak evening breeze blew gently, and one large and two small swings swayed gently. Qin Menglin and the other person stood there in silence. For a moment, the courtyard was silent, and there was an inexplicable feeling of loneliness...

Just at this moment, an inconspicuous fallen leaf slowly floated down from outside the Qin Mansion and slowly landed in the small courtyard.

Qin Menglin stretched out his hand, and it fell right into his palm...

"It's the beginning of autumn..."

.........

"There's something strange about the Qin family."

Jiang Yan's words were extremely certain. The thread-pulling technique, which should have been able to find the target person directly, strangely fell into Qin Menglin's hands.

And it is not difficult to infer from their conversation that the person being held in custody is Shen Zhixue's mother, Zhenshu!

"From their tone, it seems that there is a secret involved in Zhenshu? And perhaps it is this secret that caused the mother and daughter to hide their whole lives."

Jiang Yan speculated secretly in his mind, recalling the conversation he overheard inadvertently downstairs of Qianyu Building, and some of the doubts in his mind were resolved a little.

Jiang Yan had just arrived at Qianyu Tower at that time, but Qin Menglin and Li Qiaoer arrived the next moment. It was such a coincidence.

According to Qin Menglin, he brought them to Qianyu Tower because his old house was being renovated and it was inconvenient to hold a banquet.

On that day, Zhenshu had already brought his daughter to Jingming Mansion.

I believe that Zhenshu will not stay here for long and will rush to Qin's Mansion without stopping.

This matches what Shen Zhixue said.

Because of the pillow book issue, she couldn't let her daughter and her senior sister Li Qiao'er know about it, so she used the excuse of going out of Qianyu Tower...

"If that's the case, then Qin Menglin is in big trouble."

"There is no trace of cultivators in this huge Jingming Mansion, but there is a hint of it in the Qin family."

"Although there are no clues, we can use this as a breakthrough point to see if we can catch a big fish."

Now that he had made up his mind, Jiang Yan prepared to make a plan, but suddenly he realized that there was something wrong with his analysis just now, as if he had missed something.

This made him suppress his restless heart for the time being. He made plans before taking action, and now Jiang Yan had a great enlightenment.

If he didn't figure out where that slight sense of disharmony came from, he would always feel like there was something stuck in his throat.

After repeatedly reviewing his previous inferences and the memories of their interactions over the past few days, he finally discovered something wrong.

"Qin Menglin said that the construction of the Qin Mansion had already started several months ago. But my inference is that the pillow book was hidden under the guise of repair, so there is a discrepancy of several months..."

"In other words, the renovation of the Qin Mansion was not started because of the arrival of the Pillow Book. It was just a coincidence that they came across it and took advantage of the situation?"

Jiang Yan frowned and used his fingers to draw the outlines of various figures in the air.

Among them, Qin Menglin has the most connections.

Following his thoughts, Jiang Yan's fingers fell on Qin Menglin's lines, sliding along the known network of relationships, and finally fell on the virtual image of a cute girl with cunning eyebrows and eyes...

"Qin Xiangling..."

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows and said to himself, "Does Qin Xiangling know that her father is abnormal?"

It is obvious that Qin Xiangling does not know her father's secret. All signs indicate that Qin Menglin is deliberately hiding something from his daughter.

It started from the very beginning when Qin Xiangling went out to visit the immortals.

And with Qin Xiangling's personality, and the current environment of the Ancient Immortal Sect, even in the Ancient Immortal Sect she would still be in contact with her father who was far away in Jinglan Territory.

When she wants to go back to her hometown to visit her relatives, she will never come suddenly, but will notify them in advance...

Because there were some things that his daughter Qin Xiangling could not know, he disposed of the things in the Qin Mansion in the name of renovation.

His thoughts gradually became clearer, and Jiang Yan seemed to see the truth of the incident, with a spark of thirst for knowledge in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, now I'm really interested."

Jiang Yan originally just dealt with the matter with the mentality of having no clues left and trying everything possible, but now it was different.

A meteor flashed across the sky, and someone on the ground was pointing and talking.

Jiang Yan stood in the small courtyard, his sight seemed to penetrate the void and fall into the Qin Mansion.

"Everything you do leaves traces. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. It took you several months to complete the process. I don't believe you won't leave a trace."

…………

A few days later, in the small pavilion by the pond in the backyard of the Qin Mansion.

Qin Xiangling slumped on the beauty's back, bored, and carefree, unlike other girls in the boudoir.

Beside her, two maids wearing black-framed glasses, one holding a tray and the other serving her, while Qin Xiangling squinted her eyes and enjoyed it. There were also two virtual images playing on the table.

The content on the left is dazzling, with so many goods that it is hard to take in, and there are also many interesting titles and anecdotes that catch the eye.

On the right was a pretty girl, but unlike Qin Xiangling, she was not as relaxed as she was. She was writing or drawing at her desk, and no one knew what she was doing.

"Puh~ The quality of this year's purple crystal grapes has declined. They are not as delicious as before. Puh~"

Qin Xiangling spat out the non-existent grape pits while complaining, which made the other party very angry.

"In previous years, the purple crystal grapes were made from the petals that fell outside of Senior Brother's Xiaojue Peak as fertilizer. Xiaojue Peak has been sealed off since Senior Brother left, so the taste is definitely not as good as before..."

"Also, you video chatted with me just to show off! Can't you see I was busy carving talismans? Do you know that after you asked for leave, the job of carving talismans fell on me?"

"The headmaster has cooperated with the Wind Sword Sect in Lingxiang Territory and requested that the construction of the expressway... that is, the Taichu Wind Track, be completed within three years."

"Do you know how painful it is for a small seal talisman master like me, who lives a life of idleness and waiting for death, to work without closing my eyes for a month! Do you know how lucky you are to be able to take a leave now?"

The girl opposite seemed to be very angry. She complained to Qin Xiangling while working.

Qin Mengling just blinked and opened her mouth to take the purple crystal grapes handed to her by the maid.

"I don't know. I just applied for leave casually."

The girl opposite was shocked when she heard this: "What! Little watch smash! Tell me, did you sell the hook? How did you get leave successfully! Ahhhhhh!"

"I need a leave! Let me take a leave! I'll fly over and spank you right now!"

Qin Xiangling smacked her lips: "Come on, come on, I'll be waiting for you here, um, it's really delicious."

The girl opposite looked at the complacent Qin Xiangling with resentment, and said faintly: "Isn't that how you are supposed to use the blindfold..."

"How else can we use it? Anyway, the main function of the barrier-breaking goggles is to break illusions and become invisible. Can't we use it to cover up the abnormality of the monks?"

The girl narrowed her eyebrows and raised a wicked smile: "Really? I recorded it~"

"! Sister Qi Hua! Sister Hua, I was wrong~ Please don't report me~"

Facing Qin Xiangling's seamless expression, Qi Hua, who was carving talismans, snorted lightly and did not comment. He felt so happy that he could move more smoothly.

The matter was only settled after Qin Xiangling was forced to sign a series of "humiliating" treaties.

…………

In the corridor, a tall figure of average build stood quietly, taking in every scene happening in the pavilion in the lake.

"Taichu Wind Track? It should be a highway project that was planned more than ten years ago, but why did it change its name? My highway Dokiel sounds better."

"It will be laid throughout the entire Lingxiang area within three years..."

She whispered thoughtfully, no one knew what she was thinking about.

That’s right, “she” is Jiang Yan!

The plan is always so simple and plain. Since you are not going to show up like a god descending from the sky to crush the whole situation, then just stick to the old ways and lurk.

After much selection, Jiang Yan finally chose a maid in the Qin Mansion who was neither high nor low in status and had an ordinary appearance to replace the prince with a cat.

This maid was called Xiaomei. She used to be Qin Xiangling's personal maid and had taken care of her since she was a child. However, her status was reduced because Qin Xiangling ran away from home later.

Although he was not neglected afterwards, he was almost ignored to the extreme and was responsible for cleaning the vacant rooms in the Qin Mansion.

After extracting some of the maid's memories and putting her into a sleep, he transformed himself into "Xiaomei" and sneaked into the Qin Mansion.

As for why he didn't become a male servant or a male guard? This was because of the existence of the aloof fairy Li Qiao'er, and Qin Menglin knew that his daughter was used to being wild, and this time she didn't care much about her image.

In order to prevent his daughter from accidentally showing any "ugly behavior", and to prevent the male guards and servants from bumping into Li Qiao'er and causing palpitations...

Therefore, male servants are not allowed to enter most places unless allowed.

Fortunately, Jiang Yan's movements could be smoother and he could visit the entire Qin Mansion by himself.

"The Talisman Master... should have gone out from the formation."

"Alas... I haven't been home for many years, and everything has changed..."

"Haha, what does this have to do with me now? Why should I sigh..."

Jiang Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, suppressing all his thoughts and stopping them, concentrating on finding out the anomalies in the Qin Mansion.

But before he took two steps, he felt his vision go dark and then recover in an instant, as if it was just an illusion.

The world before his eyes remained the same as usual without any change, but Jiang Yan knew that it was all an illusion.

He rubbed his eyebrows unintentionally, and his index finger could feel an obvious foreign object.

If he looked in the mirror at this moment, he would find that he had been wearing a pair of black-framed glasses...

"Using blinders to cover up... this girl is really... creative..."

"Hey, you, you must be Xiaomei, right? Come here and let me see you."

In the sight, Qin Xiangling was sitting in the small pavilion in the distance, gracefully and elegantly, and the two maids beside her were serving her in the usual and proper manners.

But if Jiang Yan looks closely, he will find that this Miss Wen Ya is simply the reincarnation of Ge You!

He does not shy away from using magic powers in front of mortals. If it weren't for the goggles in front of his eyes, he would probably cause screams in every minute.

Jiang Yan remained silent, pretending to be unaware, and walked up to Qin Xiangling and bowed, saying:

"Miss, you call me a maid?"

Qin Xiangling did not say anything but carefully looked at Xiaomei transformed by Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan was not worried about being discovered. As long as he did not expose himself, Xiang Ling, who was just waiting to die, would not find out. He was somewhat confident about this.

As for the reason why she was looking at him, he had already prepared for it.

After all, from Yuan Xiaomei's memory, she was Qin Xiangling's personal maid, but later she gradually disappeared from the public eye after the sudden news of the young lady's death.

Now that Qin Xiangling has returned, although she is speechless about her father spreading rumors about her death, she does not pursue the matter any further.

If I see an old friend from childhood at this moment, I will definitely call him over to come and have a look.

Sure enough, Qin Xiangling just looked at Jiang Yan for a moment and then let him go.

"It's okay, I just think you look familiar."

Xiaomei, transformed by Jiang Yan, lowered her head nervously and whispered: "Your servant... you look very kind..."

"Haha, maybe we knew each other before."

Jiang Yan said nothing, just nervously grasping the hem of her skirt, thinking about where to investigate next.

He used the silk-drawing technique to make three "silk-drawing leaves". Although the results were a little blurry after careful searching, he would eventually find them through continuous screening.

"It's clearly in the Qin residence, but I have searched the front hall, back hall, left and right wing rooms, and I can't sense the pillow book. How can a living person hide there... It can't just disappear out of thin air, right?"

"Xiaomei, come here and give me a leg massage."

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Jiang Yan’s head?

"What's wrong with this girl? This plot is wrong? I didn't dress up as a woman to get some sex, this, this, this..."

Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, then pretended to be afraid and said, "Well...Miss, I still have to clean up those old empty rooms..."

Qin Xiangling just waved her hand when she heard that: "You don't have to do those jobs anymore. Just serve me. Even if I'm gone, you don't have to do those jobs anymore."

Because I left without saying goodbye, even though my father found out about it later, the people who were responsible for taking care of her afterwards could not avoid being blamed.

These few years won't be any better.

So when she saw him now, she would take care of him a little, which could be regarded as a small compensation for what happened in the past.

I guess any maid would be moved to tears of gratitude after hearing these words - Qin Xiangling thought so.

Jiang Yan felt like he was struck by lightning.

I came here just to tour the Qin Mansion, and you blocked my way with just one sentence?

"Thank you so much, Miss... But I have done a lot of rough work, my hands are dirty and rough, and I don't know how to control my strength. If the master finds out, he will punish me, so..."

"Okay, okay, I can tell you don't dare."

After Jiang Yan's repeated hints, Qin Xiangling finally gave up the idea.

Then, just when Jiang Yan relaxed, Qin Xiangling took out a fragrant white pill from her arms?

The moment Jiang Yan saw the pill, he felt something was wrong!

"Rejuvenation Pill! This thing is not for mortals to eat. Not only will it not keep your youth, but it will also deplete your energy. But if you soak it with Ginseng Snow Powder and soak it with the spiritual energy of a cultivator, it will definitely keep your face young and your body healthy!"

"She took this out, isn't she asking me to eat it?"

as predicted!

"Get a bucket of water and take off all your clothes and soak in it while I come over."
