Volume 1_Chapter 38: This is clearly a female rogue, right?
Not long after, in a residence that was low-key on the outside but luxurious on the inside.
Qing Jie reported everything that happened after Yun Qiyue left the First Pavilion to Ouyang Xi.
It turned out that since Yun Qiyue left, Qing Jie had been watching Yun Qiyue, so everything Yun Qiyue did was seen by Qing Jie.
"All six assassins were solved by her alone?" Ouyang Xi asked.
The voice was flat, and no joy or anger could be heard.
Qing Jie: "Yes, although the subordinate was far away, I saw it with my own eyes, and two of them died from poison."
After finishing, thinking of something, Qing Jie added, "The subordinate didn't even see how she used the poison."
Hearing this, Ouyang Xi's eyes deepened, the corners of his lips curled into a trace of interest, and he said faintly, "It seems I underestimated her."
Hearing this, Qing Jie's eyes carried a trace of worry, "Master, can she really clear the poison in your body? And..."
Qing Jie didn't finish his words, but clearly Ouyang Xi knew what Qing Jie meant.
Ouyang Xi didn't answer Qing Jie's words directly, but just said faintly, "Regardless, I have developed some interest in her; you should send people to keep an eye on her, but she is not simple, don't watch too closely."
Qing Jie: "Yes!"
On the other side, after Yun Qiyue left the alley, because her body was stained with the smell of blood, she didn't go back directly, but found a clothing store to change her clothes.
Just when passing in front of the Marquis Mansion, Xixue couldn't help but ask, "Young Mistress, are you not going to the Old Madam's side?"
"It's too late today, I'm not going." After saying that, Yun Qiyue walked towards the General's Mansion next door without looking back, having no psychological burden for standing up the Old Madam.
Early the next morning, Xu Shi sat in front of the dressing table, waiting for the maid to comb her hair and draw her eyebrows, while asking Chang Mama beside her: "Is there any news from that side?"
Chang Mama shook her head, "Replying to Madam, there is none."
Xu Shi frowned upon hearing this, and just as she was about to speak again, a maid hurried in, and seeing the scene in the room, didn't dare to enter.
Seeing this, Chang Mama went to the door, but after the maid whispered a few words in her ear, Chang Mama's complexion immediately became ugly.
When Chang Mama whispered the matter to Xu Shi, Xu Shi was immediately furious and waved the jewelry box beside her to the ground.
"Damn it! How can that cheap hoof have such good luck?"
The maid combing her hair knelt down in fear, not daring to make a sound.
Seeing her master so angry, Chang Mama was afraid of being implicated, so she came up with a plan, "Madam, didn't the Old Madam ask her to pay her respects yesterday, but she ran away? Why don't we..."
Yun Qiyue woke up early and began to bargain with the system.
"Isn't you opening the storage function for me a mutually beneficial thing? It's convenient for me, which is convenient for yourself; in the future, I can better complete tasks and earn points, right?"
It was really because when she made medicine yesterday, she incidentally made some poison and common medicine, one for self-defense, and one for saving people; she couldn't just exchange with the system every time something happened, right? Then no matter how many points she had, it wouldn't be enough to squander.
But she couldn't keep these things on her body, so Yun Qiyue had been eyeing the system early in the morning.
After all, since the system could provide items, it must be able to store items.
But the system refused to agree no matter what, with only one sentence, "I am a system, not a space."
Helpless, Yun Qiyue used her trump card.
"Fine, since you don't agree, then forget it."
After saying that, Yun Qiyue lay on the bed.
System: "?"
Gave up so quickly? Why does it always feel like there's a catch?
After all, the host of this generation seems not so easy to lead.
Sure enough, just as the system suspected Yun Qiyue's motive, Yun Qiyue said, "Anyway, if you don't help me store things, in the future, if I encounter medical tasks, I can only consume points; sooner or later, the points will be exhausted, and if I encounter assassination, I can only stand and wait for death. Sooner or later, it's death, so it's better to lie here and do nothing, and just wait for death."
System: "..."
Isn't the host it bound a cool and strong one?
This is clearly a female rogue, right?
So, is it too late to consider unbinding now?
Finally, the system had to compromise, "Opening a storage space is not impossible..."
Hearing this, Yun Qiyue's eyes lit up, staring tightly at the front, waiting for the system's follow-up.
"But the host needs to use points to buy it," the system continued mechanically.
Yun Qiyue: "How many points?" If she could buy it, then it wouldn't be a big problem.
System: "One hundred."
Yun Qiyue: "Divide by ten."
System: "Eighty."
Yun Qiyue: "Divide by four."
At this time, if the system had feet, it would probably be jumping with anger.
That mechanical voice seemed to have ups and downs because of anger, "Fifty, it can't be any less."
Yun Qiyue curled her lips into a smile, "Good, deal!"
Just kidding, exchanging 50 points for a particularly secure portable storage space; she would be a fool not to agree.
Just when Yun Qiyue was in a happy mood, there was a knock on the door, "Young Mistress."
It was Xixue.
When Yun Qiyue got up, the pile of finished medicine on the small table by the bed disappeared instantly.
"Come in!" Yun Qiyue said.
After a while, Xixue pushed the door and entered, carrying toiletries.
"Young Mistress, the Old Madam next door wants the young mistress to go over again."
When Xixue said this, there was a clear look of worry on her face.
Although she hadn't been by the young mistress's side for these years, she still knew what kind of faces those people next door had.
Yun Qiyue was not surprised, just nodded to show she knew.
After all, if yesterday's assassination was really done by the people next door, then they definitely wouldn't let her go today.
Although she was invited next door, Yun Qiyue was not in a hurry; she washed up slowly, ate breakfast slowly, and only then went next door.
This time Yun Qiyue went over smoothly; not only that, as soon as she entered the Hou Mansion area, two servants led the way very warmly and respectfully, which looked to Yun Qiyue as if these servants were afraid she would run away.
It had to be said that Yun Qiyue saw the truth.
The Madam had spoken; if Yun Qiyue ran away today, then they, as servants, would be in big trouble.
Not long after, Yun Qiyue was brought to the Old Madam's Songtao Courtyard.
Qing Mama, who was beside the Old Madam, did not stop her this time, and respectfully invited Yun Qiyue into the room.
At this time, the Songtao Courtyard was unusually quiet, and coupled with the fact that although Mother Qing looked respectful on the surface, a fierce look flashed in the depths of her eyes, Yun Qiyue knew that this visit today was probably a trap.
And inside, there was probably something waiting for her.
Seeing that Yun Qiyue didn't move, Qing Mama couldn't help but remind her: "The Third Young Mistress already made the Old Madam wait for a long time yesterday; don't make the Old Madam wait for a long time again today."
In these words, there seemed to be a hint of anger.
Yesterday, she took advantage of a loophole and ran away, which made her lose a lot of face; today, she couldn't make such a low-level mistake again no matter what.
Hearing this, Yun Qiyue looked at Qing Mama and smiled.
Looking at that smile of Yun Qiyue's, Qing Mama's alarm bells rang subconsciously in her heart, and she had a bad feeling.
"I'm already here, so how could I make the Old Madam wait for a long time?" Yun Qiyue said obediently.
Afterwards, her eyes tightened, and before Qing Mama could react, she kicked the half-open door... ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
