It tasted as good as she imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Godfather, this egg custard is not bad, have a taste.\" Ling Yuezi scooped another small spoonful and fed it to Big Master Luo Zhencuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Zhencuan couldn’t speak, he blinked and made an \"mm-mm\" sound from his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His crooked mouth struggled to swallow the egg custard, and immediately, his eyes became much brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Zhencuan raised his eyelids, looked at Li Xingsheng, and made the \"mm-mm\" sound again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Yuezi turned her head, nodded to Li Xingsheng, \"My godfather says your egg custard is good, he likes it very much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xingsheng bowed to Luo Zhencuan, \"Thank you, Big Master, for the praise. As long as you like it, I can make it every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Zhencuan glanced at him, then looked at Ling Yuezi, his eyes carried a questioning look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Yuezi said, \"His name is Mr. Li, a scholar visiting here who can cook. I invited him to teach the cooks to improve my godfather’s meals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Zhencuan glanced at Li Xingsheng, then at Ling Yuezi, and showed no further expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the egg custard was finished, Ah Qing took Li Xingsheng away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Yuezi picked up a fan and started fanning Luo Zhencuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, Luo Zhencuan closed his eyes and fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Yuezi said to the standing guards and maids around, \"You can all leave now, Big Master is asleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer needing to serve, the others happily left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the footsteps faded away and could no longer be heard, Ling Yuezi moved to the bedhead, squatted down, and whispered to Luo Zhencuan, \"Godfather, I know you’re not asleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Zhencuan quickly opened his eyes, looked at Ling Yuezi, and hummed softly, his gaze turning gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How was that person just now? I plan to take him as my husband,\" Ling Yuezi slightly lifted her lips, \"He looks good, young, a bit scholarly, and can cook. He will surely be a good helper in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The amusement deepened in Luo Zhencuan’s eyes, but suddenly, he looked at another place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Yuezi stopped smiling, coldly said, \"Don’t worry, godfather, I’ll definitely succeed in getting married and won’t let Shi Baoming take advantage of me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Zhencuan’s gaze returned to Ling Yuezi’s face, he opened his mouth, made an \"ah-ah\" sound from his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression became agitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Yuezi grasped Luo Zhencuan’s hand, \"Don’t worry, godfather, I’m not such a weak and useless girl. I definitely won’t let Shi Baoming make a move on you and the village. I will protect your hard work!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Zhencuan’s gaze stayed fixed on Ling Yuezi, his lips trembled slightly, tears streaming down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Godfather...\" Ling Yuezi’s eyes reddened, hugging Luo Zhencuan’s head, she choked up, \"Godfather’s nurturing grace to Yuezhi surpasses that of a biological father, as long as Yuezhi is alive, godfather will be safe and sound!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the Big Master’s residence, Li Xingsheng asked Ah Qing, \"Miss Ah Qing, is your Big Master afflicted by an evil wind? Is there a doctor treating his illness?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to find out clearly about the strength of the few leaders in the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While making the egg custard, he heard from the chatter among the cooks that Feihu Village had four leaders in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Big Master was bedridden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Master was that one-eyed man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Master was a short stout man, not often in the village, frequently going out for business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was Ling Yuezi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason the Big Master was chosen as Big Master must be due to his remarkable skills, yet now bedridden, he couldn’t showcase any of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to recover, he would surely be as vigorous as a dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Qing did not hide from him, \"Of course, he’s being treated. After all, he is our Miss’s godfather, who raised her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why is he still so severely ill? Is this illness hard to treat?\" Li Xingsheng asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t understand medicine, so I don’t know if it’s easy to treat or not. Anyway, I’ve called ten physicians, and it’s still the same.\" Ah Qing shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they’ve called ten physicians and still can’t cure him, then it’s incurable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless his third sister comes to treat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xingsheng sighed sympathetically, \"Ah, the Big Master’s illness is serious; Miss Ling must be very worried.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Qing glanced back at him. This simpleton indeed has a tender heart for beauties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking Li Xingsheng back to the Star-picking Pavilion, Ah Qing reminded him again, unless invited by their lady, do not leave this pavilion no matter who asks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xingsheng played the bookish fool skillfully, \"Why can’t I go out if someone else invites me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Qing held back her temper, \"Didn’t I tell you before? The lady is concerned for your safety. What if you get lost and run into bad people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, where are the bad people?\" Li Xingsheng looked surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Qing suppressed her anger again, \"In any case, without the lady’s permission, you’re not allowed to go anywhere!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she strode off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xingsheng, however, shook his folding fan and smiled indulgently. Without orders, he couldn’t go out? He wouldn’t leave on his own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t convenient to move around during the daytime. With nothing else to do, Li Xingsheng and Lou Chengye went to the second floor to enjoy the village’s scenic view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But standing high doesn’t necessarily mean seeing far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village had varying elevations, with small hills and trees occasionally blocking the view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in this small pavilion, one could only see who came along the road in front of it, not anywhere else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, two people came to the front gate, the one-eyed Second Master and a subordinate henchman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Master pushed open the courtyard door and looked around the clump of flowers and trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Master, there’s a trap here.\" The henchman also looked around, not daring to move freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Master suddenly grabbed the henchman and threw him to the left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AH—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The henchman cried out as he hit the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No mechanisms were triggered, and the Second Master brushed off his sleeves, walking towards the left road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The henchman’s face grew pale, \"Sec... Second Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scout ahead.\" The Second Master’s one eye gleamed malevolently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little henchman dared not disobey and nervously climbed up from the ground, forcing himself to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the second floor, Lou Chengye whispered to Li Xingsheng, \"Second Brother, who is that one-eyed person? It’s too much; he actually makes someone scout a deadly path! He doesn’t treat his men like people!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s the village’s Second Master.\" Li Xingsheng sneered, \"When I take the village, he’ll be the first I deal with!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since childhood, it’s the first time he’s seen someone dare to look at him as if he were crushing an ant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one-eyed man is too arrogant; he deserves to die multiple times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Master’s subordinate accidentally stumbled upon a safe path, but at the second trap, his luck ran out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trigger he stepped on suddenly released an iron cable that tied him up and hoisted him onto a big tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This big tree was about seven or eight meters high; the henchman’s feet hung about three to four meters above the ground. He turned pale and kept screaming in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Second Master ignored him entirely and headed down another path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the henchman to scout ahead, the Second Master walked with extreme caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Determining which was the safe path and which the deadly one, he hesitated repeatedly before daring to take a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unluckily, he guessed wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless arrows shot from who-knows-where, heading straight for the Second Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Master was so frightened he dove to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But having dodged the arrows, his fall triggered another mechanism, causing the ground beneath him to collapse suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, the Second Master leaped upward, narrowly avoiding a pit lined with countless bamboo spikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two near-death experiences, the Second Master dared not advance any further; he retreated cautiously, turned, and left briskly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Master, save me, Second Master!\" As for the little henchman hanging from the big tree and shouting, the Second Master didn’t even turn back once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Brother, these traps are incredibly crafty!\" Having personally witnessed the traps, Lou Chengye patted his chest in lingering fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xingsheng shook his fan with a smile, \"They’re nothing special.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Chengye exclaimed in surprise, \"This is nothing special?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, there’s something even more formidable. When I get the chance to go to the Capital, I’ll take you to see what real traps look like.\" Li Xingsheng smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Chengye rubbed his hands in anticipation, \"Wonderful, Second Brother. By the way, where is the formidable trap located?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xingsheng raised his lips in a slight smile, \"In the residence of the Second Young Master of the Lu Ling Royal Mansion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1683,"2026-06-03T14:19:07.748Z",1,"novelbin.me","f3ff4a8f8a877cc38ed21f6d1874d386de557599ee94aaa3b14d5a8f2e2cc09d","exile-with-storage-space-family-fortunes-in-the--chapter-653","exile-with-storage-space-family-fortunes-in-the--chapter-651",912,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fexile-with-storage-space-family-fortunes-in-the--cover.jpg"]
