Chapter 709 [Under the Brocade 5]
After returning to the Yan residence, Yan Shifan looked at Youyou with a puzzled look on his face, frowned and asked: "Youyou, what's the matter with you today? Why do you dress up as a man and claim to be my cousin?"
Youyou lowered her head slightly, bit her lip, then raised her head to look at Yan Shifan and said softly, "Brother, I want to ask you, what do you think of Lu Jingli?"
When Yan Shifan heard this, his expression instantly became solemn. He snorted coldly and said, "Humph, he has a famous nickname called 'Lu Yanwang'! Why are you asking about him? Could it be that..." As he spoke, Yan Shifan narrowed his eyes and stared at Youyou.
Youyou felt a little embarrassed when Yan Shifan looked at her, so she quickly waved her hands and explained, "Oh, brother, it's not what you think. It's just... I'm quite curious about him, so I asked." Then, Youyou approached Yan Shifan, pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Brother, please be kind and help me, I really want to get close to him."
Yan Shifan's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "What? You're attracted to him? This won't do!"
Youyou stamped her feet and said coquettishly, "Hey, brother, it's true, but it's not entirely true either. Anyway, don't worry about it. Are you going to help or not?"
Yan Shifan sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Sister, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't do this favor. You know that Lu Yi and I have always been sworn enemies and we are incompatible. If he knew that you are my sister and you deliberately approached him, he would definitely think that I sent you to monitor him. So, there is no room for negotiation on this matter, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible."
After hearing what Yan Shifan said, Youyou felt a little disappointed, but she didn't give up. She rolled her eyes and came up with a plan, saying, "Okay, since brother is so embarrassed, I will try another way. But brother, you have to promise me one thing, don't cause trouble for me no matter what, okay?"
"Okay, but I have to advise you, you must stay away from that guy named Lu Yi! Don't get deeper and deeper, he is an extremely dangerous person!" Yan Shifan warned seriously.
"Well, I understand, brother." Youyou nodded obediently, but although she said this, she was secretly thinking in her heart: Hum, should I listen to my brother? It depends on the situation. After all, feelings are something that can't be controlled! And maybe Lu Yi is not as terrible as my brother said. I should wait until I slowly understand everything before making a decision. Anyway, no matter what, it is still up to me to decide what to do in the end! Thinking of this, Youyou couldn't help but reveal a barely perceptible smile.
So, after a brief thought, Youyou called Qiuxia and whispered, "Qiuxia, go and find out for me what Lu Yi has been busy with recently." Qiuxia is a secret guard who has been with Youyou since childhood. Not only does she have superb martial arts and high kung fu skills, but she is also very reliable and steady in her work. Therefore, Youyou thinks it is most appropriate to send her to find out the news.
Not long after, Qiuxia hurried back to report what she had found out to Youyou: "Miss, after some investigation, I learned that Lord Lu is investigating a case recently. It is said that Cao Kun was so bold as to steal the crucial defense map!"
Hearing this, Youyou frowned slightly and asked, "What clues has he found so far? How far has the case progressed?"
Qiuxia quickly replied, "My lady, as far as I know, Lord Lu appeared in Xiaoxiang Pavilion before. It turned out that he found out that the person who made Cao Kun's human skin mask was likely hiding in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so he went there to investigate."
"Then is my brother involved as well?" Youyou widened her eyes and asked in confusion. Her voice trembled slightly, as if she had some guesses in her mind, but was still not sure.
Qiuxia looked at Youyou's nervous expression and nodded gently. Her eyes were a little complicated, with a hint of helplessness and a little regret. This simple action seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and Youyou's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley.
"Okay, I understand." said Youyou.
