Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 1594 - 1574: Trouble at Sky Inquiry Tower
"Brother, staring at me won’t help, you know. Who knows, I might pass a knife to Shiqi." Bai Yinshu’s red lips opened and closed slowly, emphasizing this line.
Luo Qianqian was startled, then instinctively turned her head and saw Mo’s gaze, and immediately laughed: "Actually, you guys have a great relationship..."
"Haha." Mo rolled his eyes, bypassed the two and walked straight to the front without even glancing at Bai Yinshu’s reaction.
Bai Yinshu shrugged, made a playful face at Luo Qianqian, looking innocent and youthful.
It was precisely because of his demeanor that Luo Qianqian did not harbor any wariness towards him, always feeling that his appearance was like a mischievous neighborhood brother, reminding her of An Hao.
"There’s an estate ten miles ahead, and the flowers in the garden are blooming perfectly, we need to hurry." Bai Yinshu explained the destination to Luo Qianqian, ignoring Mo who was walking away, and pointed in a different direction.
Luo Qianqian nodded, feeling a bit helpless at Bai Yinshu’s mischievous demeanor, she called out: "Mo, over here."
Mo naturally noticed what the two were talking about, but he didn’t turn around, only after hearing Luo Qianqian’s call did he turn his head with a face full of smugness. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Hmph, he knew it, how could Luo Qianqian be swayed by someone who just arrived a few days ago?
Bai Yinshu pouted, lowered his head, and continued on without saying much, since Luo Qianqian had already called her companion.
Upon reaching the garden, faced with the numerous flowers, Luo Qianqian’s face lit up with delight.
"Shiqi, you’re in charge of the surrounding Five-Petaled Sophora, be careful not to get it on you, it’s cold." Bai Yinshu handed Luo Qianqian a Small Jade Bottle, his face serious.
Seeing Luo Qianqian nod her head, Bai Yinshu moved to Mo’s side, discreetly stepped on his foot, and stuffed a Small Jade Bottle into his hand: "Brother, the lotus flowers in the pond are entrusted to you." He quickly retreated, giving Mo no chance to retaliate.
Mo silently suffered a loss, gritting his teeth in helplessness at Bai Yinshu’s little face.
He nodded, holding the Small Jade Bottle tightly, his eyes glanced at the obvious footprint on his shoe, feeling a surge of blood.
Bai Yinshu, seeing Mo’s reaction, laughed triumphantly and continued collecting the flower dew.
While collecting, he was filled with curiosity about the flower dew, as the liquid Luo Qianqian gave him, although somewhat colored, was filled with fragrance. Just opening the lid filled the room with the intoxicating scent, whereas this flower dew was colorless and lacked such pervasive scent.
Of course, he only collected the flower dew for auxiliary use, mixing it with spices. Using ordinary water easily carries an earthy smell, which can make the spices’ aroma strange. Rainwater seems harmless, but when gathered together it appears particularly murky, also negatively affecting the color of the spices.
A good incense, from color to aroma to texture, must be of high quality to be considered perfect.
Moreover, the mixture of flavors shouldn’t be too uneven, or it will have an aggressive impact and won’t be well-received.
After a while, seeing the sky brighten up, Bai Yinshu naturally collected the Jade Vase, and gathered Luo Qianqian and Mo’s bottles, before leaping onto the rooftop, waving to the two of them: "Come."
Luo Qianqian, suspecting nothing, also jumped lightly onto the rooftop, Mo reluctantly followed up.
As the first rays of sunlight fell upon the garden, the dew on the tall tree greeted the sunlight first, refracting with myriad brilliance, making the garden exceptionally dazzling, as if draped in a layer of Gold Outfit, contrasting with the shaded garden.
Luo Qianqian originally planned to ask what they were doing, but upon seeing this scene, she remained silent, now understanding why they came up.
Even though this wasn’t some majestic mountain or seaside, just an ordinary rooftop, it felt uniquely captivating.
Gradually, as the sun rose higher, the entire courtyard brightened up, the previously closed flower buds now opened, making the garden splendid.
Once the courtyard was fully brightened, Bai Yinshu said: "Let’s go."
After speaking, he glanced at the arriving estate, and the three left without drawing any attention.
Returning to the courtyard, Luo Qianqian glanced over and saw He Wenyu still asleep, feeling speechless, wondering if he was actually a pig?
Meanwhile, in the makeshift bed made from a wooden crate, the Snow Beast slept soundly on its back, causing even Luo Qianqian to sigh, seeing how similar it was to its master.
"Shiqi? Are you back?" Just planning to prepare some food, a voice came from outside, and the next second a figure jumped onto the wall.
"Bai Jian! Don’t you have manners? Do you know how to knock?!" Luo Qianqian saw Mo and Bai Yinshu reflexively retreating back into the house and breathed a sigh of relief: "What if I were taking a bath in the courtyard?!"
"Ah? Why would you bathe in the courtyard?" Bai Jian’s face was puzzled, wearing a two-word look of bewilderment as he stared at Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian was momentarily speechless, why indeed? ...
She was just making up an excuse, there was no real reason.
Bai Jian considered why the people from Sky Inquiry Tower were fond of climbing over walls?
"Because it’s convenient to pour water!" Luo Qianqian gritted her teeth and came up with an excuse.
Bai Jian nodded as if enlightened: "Then I’ll ask you next time before climbing over..."
Is this the key point? Is it?!
"This isn’t the endpoint..."
You do realize it’s not the key point?!
"There’s trouble at Sky Inquiry Tower!"
Sky Inquiry Tower with you...
"What did you say?!" Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened in astonishment, seeing the finals were imminent, what’s happened at Sky Inquiry Tower?
"There’s trouble at Sky Inquiry Tower..." Bai Jian frowned, wondering if a few days of absence had impaired Luo Qianqian’s hearing.
"What’s going on!" Luo Qianqian instantly grabbed hold of Bai Jian’s sleeve, her face full of seriousness, with a hint of killing intent flashing in her eyes. Let’s hope it’s not related to Blessed Land Cave Heaven, or no matter her cards, she’ll make them pay!
Although Blessed Land Cave Heaven shouldn’t be foolish enough to make a move on Sky Inquiry Tower, their assassins are quite powerful, otherwise they wouldn’t have survived dire battles.
Compared to Sky Inquiry Tower, clearly their Nine Heavens Pavilion is weaker, targeting them should be easier, right?
But what Luo Qianqian didn’t know was, since the final match in the area ended, her name had spread throughout Southern Li, albeit with a notorious reputation.
Not everyone can be as ’heartless’ as her.
Bai Jian withdrew his sleeve, filled with concern: "It’s new, might wrinkle..." Seeing Luo Qianqian’s murderous look, he quickly said: "Sky Inquiry Tower took a job, and already lost over ten assassins, this time even the contestants went too..."
