Chapter 208 Supervision
"If you don't understand, just ask! If I hadn't come in, were you planning to starve forever? You're all grown up, and you still manage to starve yourselves, you're really something."
Despite her complaints, Yang Jianwu kept busy, making two bowls of noodles for the two of them, taking out some hand-peeled bamboo shoots she had made at Shamen earlier, and picking some wild vegetables from the medicinal herb field to prepare a dish.
"Here, have something to eat."
Mo Ye's stomach rumbled at just the right moment, "Thank you, Xiao Wu'er."
"Sigh... Being too proud leads to suffering..."
Puyang Xuan slurped up his instant noodles and couldn't help but defend himself, "Jianwu, this isn't our fault. We didn't know what the situation was like outside, and you didn't talk to us... Also, we didn't know if our voices would carry. What if you were inside the manor and we suddenly made a sound? Wouldn't that ruin everything?"
Yang Jianwu thought about it and realized that it made sense. She could hear the sounds outside while inside the space, but since she was alone and flying in the air without anyone talking, they mistakenly thought they couldn't hear the sounds outside.
However, she seemed to remember telling them to call her if they needed anything... Could she have remembered wrong?
"Okay, I misunderstood you. You can speak freely. No one outside can hear us except me, and our voices can't travel out either. I haven't spoken since I went out, so you didn't hear anything outside. Actually, you can hear what's going on outside from here and keep track of the situation."
The three of them ate while watching the big screen. The Grand Tutor had gone in and hadn't come out yet, and they didn't know what he was doing. This feeling of being out of control wasn't good.
Yang Jianwu quickly finished eating, then tapped on the control panel, splitting the large screen in two.
She exchanged for another bee-shaped listening device. The woman smiled wickedly. She only wanted to hear some useful information; irrelevant information would be automatically filtered out.
The bee-shaped listening device was thrown out of the space. Yang Jianwu controlled the device from the control panel to fly towards the Grand Preceptor's house. The surroundings were too well sealed, and no small gaps could be found. The device could only stop at the window for the time being...
The sounds of servants and guards could be heard outside, but there was no sound from inside the room. The Grand Preceptor must have gone back to his room to rest and recuperate.
"We can't get in now. Anyway, the Grand Preceptor needs to eat. We'll sneak in with the servants later."
"Row!"
Taking advantage of this free time, Yang Jianwu taught the two how to use the electrical appliances in the space, so they wouldn't go hungry again...
Electric ceramic stoves and electric kettles are essential to know about; we'll talk about other small appliances later.
"Does the Imperial Preceptor live on elixirs of immortality? Why doesn't anyone bring him food?"
Yang Jianwu was getting really bored while waiting, so she took out a storybook and started reading. Anyway, if there was any noise, the listening device would transmit the sound, so she wasn't worried about missing anything.
"Sword Dance, with so many books on the bookshelf, why did you choose a storybook to read?"
"What's wrong with storybooks?"
"Storybooks are all for deceiving young girls."
Yang Jianwu frowned slightly, "Am I not a young girl?!"
"Uh...no..."
Pu Yangxuan realized his slip of the tongue and quickly slapped his mouth to correct himself, "That's not what I meant. You're a young girl, I meant you're special, your pursuits aren't here, you shouldn't be looking at these things..."
Mo Ye suppressed a laugh; his greatest pleasure right now was watching Puyang Xuan get his comeuppance.
Yang Jianwu glanced at the books on the bookshelf and said disdainfully, "I've already read all of those!"
"You've finished watching?!"
"Yes! And I've remembered them all!"
Pu Yangxuan couldn't believe it, yet he had no choice but to accept it, and a sense of crisis arose spontaneously.
"Are you serious?"
"Ok!"
Yang Jianwu would never tell them that before she was three years old, the thing she did most was read books. At that time, her body was too small to do anything else, but her memory was incredibly useful, so she could only try her best to supplement it.
"The Imperial Advisor should be resting. Let's take turns monitoring him. You two should learn how to operate the listening device. When a door opens, use the listening device to enter the room. If you stop on the roof beam, it won't be easy to spot."
"it is good!"
Puyang Xuan rubbed his palms together, looking eager, "I didn't expect to have the chance to get started so soon!"
"Yes, cherish the opportunity when you have it. Be careful when operating it. If you really can't handle it, call me."
"no problem!"
Once the two learned how to control the listening device, they split into three shifts for guard duty.
The night passed peacefully, and as dawn approached, it was Yang Jianwu's turn to supervise.
Yang Jianwu ate her bread and drank her milk, muttering to herself, "This imperial advisor can really sleep..."
After finishing his meal and drinks, he continued reading his storybook.
……
"Guards! Bring them here!"
"Yes!"
Yang Jianwu paused in her flipping through the book, then immediately threw it aside.
To get a clear view, the drone was parked on the opposite rooftop, and the image was zoomed in for observation. The bee-shaped monitoring device was placed by the door, ready to be deployed at any time.
Upon hearing the sound, Mo Ye and Pu Yangxuan immediately got up and went behind Yang Jianwu to observe the situation.
Not long after, the guards who had received the order dragged a woman into the surveillance range. The surveillance footage was zoomed in, which only showed the approximate direction from which the guards brought the woman.
"Waaah—I don't want to go! Please! Let me go!"
The woman's cries were shrill and filled with fear.
