Chapter 115: If Your Technique Is Lacking, Just Keep Training

Su Mo and a few others went to bid farewell to Xuan Wei and her two siblings, and then Xuan Shuang had people load the big and small packages prepared for them onto the carriage.

The generous invitation was hard to refuse, so Su Mo just accepted.

Fortunately, she also prepared gifts for them.

Su Mo took out several books from beside her and handed them to Xuan Wei.

"The first two are for the elder Miss and the younger Miss, the third is for the Second Miss, and the fourth… is for the Third Young Master."

Xuan Wei looked at the cover of the first book and immediately knew it was a medical text she liked.

She hugged the book and said, "I thank Miss Su on their behalf."

Su Mo squinted and said, "You all are welcome to come find me at North Wing."

Xuan Shuang raised an eyebrow: "That's natural! Your banquet with the Beast Husbands, we will definitely attend!"

After a brief farewell, Su Mo boarded the carriage and left the Tiger Clan.

Once the carriage vanished from sight, Xuan Shuang impatiently took her own book from Xuan Wei's hand!

When she opened it, she couldn't help but exclaim delightedly, "Big sister really gets me! She knows I like this!"

Xuan Wei leaned over to glance at the table of contents, which roughly described the story of a first‑generation empress, essentially about governance.

Xuan Shuang curiously said, "Quick, see what the one for Xuan Qing is!"

Xuan Wei just turned the book over, but Xuan Qing beside her snatched it away in one grab.

He said in a clear, cold voice, "What was given to me is mine; without permission, you may not peek."

"Stingy! What's wrong with giving sister a glance!"

Xuan Shuang made a move to snatch it, but Xuan Qing gave her no chance at all.

Annoyed, Xuan Shuang grabbed her waist and said, "You white‑eyed wolf!"

Xuan Wei watched their backs and sighed helplessly, "You guys! You're so grown up, yet still so childish!"

Xuan Shuang looked at Xuan Qing's back, hummed, then turned to Xuan Wei and said, "Fine, I won't look. I feel that, given Miss Su's temperament, not messing with him would be strange."

Hearing that, Xuan Wei couldn't help but let out a light laugh.

In fact, she had just glanced at the book cover, and indeed… it was so.

"I think Miss Su doesn't actually want him to go to North Wing to deliver medicine to her? It would be best if it could anger him."

Xuan Shuang snorted, "Then she probably will have the opposite effect."

Xuan Wei smiled, "You seem to know the Third Young Master's state of mind as if it were an open book?"

"Big sister, you have traveled with the master since childhood, so naturally you don't understand him enough," Xuan Shuang raised an eyebrow and said, "Moreover, your Beast Husbands were arranged by father and mother; you don't get it—some people you meet a thousand times in vain, while others only need three meetings. A spark of feeling is just a momentary thing."

At this moment, inside Xuan Qing's study.

He fixed his gaze on the book cover, and a vague premonition rose in his heart.

When he opened the table of contents, his brows involuntarily furrowed.

He casually turned to a page, scanned a line of text, and instantly burst into an angry laugh.

Almost out of control, he flung half the book aside!

"Dong"—

He almost hit Jin Yan, who was carrying tea water in.

Jin Yan froze in place, about to bend down and pick up the book on the floor.

He heard his family's young master clench his teeth and say, "Don't pick it up!"

Startled, he quickly retracted the hand he had extended.

Xuan Qing turned around, picked up the book from the floor, and promptly locked it in a drawer.

Jin Yan glanced secretly at the young master's expression and, for a moment, dared not speak easily.

He didn't know what had become of the usually gentle young master lately; he was always so abnormal…

At this moment, inside the carriage.

Su Mo was playing poker with Yue Ying and Fei Yan, and at first she was winning smoothly, but gradually she couldn't keep it up.

She lost again!

A note was stuck to Su Mo's face, and she was also stealthily kissed by the Dead Fox.

She glared angrily at the smug Dead Fox and shouted outward, "Mo Xiao, come in and replace him!"

Yue Ying immediately pouted, "No, Mo Mo, I haven't learned it yet~"

Su Mo, fuming, clenched her teeth; out of ten rounds she won six, and Fei Yan won three…

Is that called not having learned? She thought they were practically trying to kill her with irritation!

She, a modern person, couldn't believe she had never played against a Beastman; saying that would be so embarrassing!

Mo Xiao walked in and pushed Yue Ying out.

He had already been listening to Wife Master complain outside for a while.

Now he pretended to be clever, sat down and started to throw the game, since he couldn't be driven out too quickly.

After winning several rounds in a row, Su Mo felt something was off.

【Mo Xiao's loss is too obvious; I suspect he colluded with Fei Yan, deliberately throwing the game?】

Hearing that, the two opposite players were startled.

After exchanging a glance, they immediately launched a killing round.

After losing two consecutive rounds, Su Mo became depressed again.

She, angry, threw the poker cards down and said, "I'm done! I'm going to sleep!"

She summoned Xiao Jiu in her mind: "Not yet married, yet already conspiring together; after we get married, who will listen to me??"

Xiao Jiu: "Host… your technique is still low, keep practicing! In the future you'll be the head of the household, they won't dare disobey you! Relax~"

Su Mo laughed in exasperation: "How could I possibly be bad at technique! When I play cards with Cang Lan, I always win!"

Xiao Jiu thought wordlessly: "Cang Lan is so single‑minded, he doesn't have the many whims these others have."

He tried to comfort Su Mo: "Perhaps your luck at cards hasn't been good lately?"

Su Mo frowned: "It'd be better that way; otherwise being so clever is also quite frightening."

Xiao Jiu snorted laughing, thinking: "Isn't it scary… But if you only start to awaken now, it's a bit late, ha."

When they arrived at the North Wing Market, Yue Ying stopped the carriage, and the group had a quick meal together.

Su Mo didn't rush back; she strolled around the North Wing Market, mainly to see if there was a suitable storefront.

Passing the entrance of Baihua Pavilion, she couldn't help but glance curiously.

She always felt the style had changed a bit, and frowned, asking: "Has the owner changed here recently?"

Yue Ying waved his fan, shamelessly saying: "I'm the owner!"

Su Mo was startled: "You?"

【What are you joking about, this is the heroine's later‑stage information hub!】

"I make money here, so I took it over," Yue Ying squinted, shamelessly saying: "From now on this fox will also have a Wife Master, so I need to earn more to support the family~"

Seeing him pouting and coming closer, Su Mo, frightened, quickly turned and ran away.

【Dead Fox moves to kiss at any moment, and the public doesn't know how to avoid it…】

Yue Ying laughed as he tried to tug Su Mo's sleeve, but saw her stumbling into Fei Yan's arms.

He pinched his fan and walked over, his jealousy flaring as he stared at the person hiding in Fei Yan's embrace.

"You little heartless one, you're the one who knows best how to anger me!"

Fei Yan, holding Su Mo's waist, chuckled lightly: "Shall we set off?"

The three turned and walked toward the carriage, completely unaware that on the upper floor of Baihua Pavilion, a pair of sinister eyes were watching them through the window.

Finally, that gloomy gaze settled on Su Mo.

The man curved his lips slightly: "Her appearance recovered so quickly? Interesting!"
