At that moment, they were behind a smokehouse, and Lou Ze approached the little thief, “Where did you stash the divine ointments?”

The little thief blinked, “In that room we were in before.” The room he referred to was the one in the courthouse’s backyard that had recently been burned down.

Lou Ze, “…”

Lou Ze asked, “Everything’s there?”

The little thief nodded, “Yeah.”

Lou Ze said, “You don’t need to steal divine ointments anymore. The government is systematically sealing those places.”

The little thief exclaimed with joy, “Sealed? Really sealed?”

“Yes.”

“That harmful stuff should have been banned a long time ago. It’s good that it’s sealed. So good.” The little thief was extremely excited, and it took him a while to calm down, “I won’t steal divine ointments anymore, but now I’m without a goal. Do you have any tasks? I can help you.”

Lou Ze thought for a moment, “If you really want to do something beneficial for the people, you could investigate the cultivation sites of opium or the production sites of divine ointments. Once you find them, don’t act rashly, come back and inform me, and I’ll handle it.”

“Okay, I’m on it.” The little thief was determined, almost wishing he could eradicate all the divine ointments in the world, “I’m off then, take care.”

Lou Ze waved at the little thief, “Be careful not to get caught.”

From a distance, the little thief’s voice came back, “Don’t underestimate me. They’ll have to wait for their next life to catch me.”

A hint of amusement flashed in Lou Ze’s eyes as he relayed the information about the little thief to Tang Jinghong, then swiftly left the spot.

…

After taking the second type of medicine, Old Master Lu’s condition improved slightly. Then, Lou Ze administered a third medication, “Drink this and lie down for a while, do nothing else.”

Old Master Lu, now awake, nodded, “Thank you, young master. I understand.”

Lou Ze left Old Master Lu’s room with the tray and went to the kitchen.

Zeng Huo, sitting sideways on a kitchen window, remarked, “The bait is set, now to see when it will be taken.”

A chill flickered in Lou Ze’s eyes, “We’ll check when it gets dark.”

Zeng Huo looked at Lou Ze admiringly, then leaped out of the Lu Mansion.

Lou Ze went to the window, looking at the blue sky and smiled slyly, “The show is about to begin.”

…

In her room, Hong Feiyu found a letter by her bedside, cautiously opening it.

As she read the content, a smile spread across her face, “I didn’t expect Mu Xiao to invite me out himself.”

After burning the letter over a candle, Hong Feiyu immediately got ready to meet him.

Simultaneously, Hong Feiyun also received a letter. After reading it, a smile broke out on her usually stern face, placing the letter against her chest, “Mu Xiao finally asked me out.”

She dressed up and left for the appointment.

The meeting place was a peak behind the mountains, which overlooked the entire Linzhang City—an ideal, undisturbed spot for a rendezvous.

As Hong Feiyun arrived at the woods, she saw Hong Feiyu releasing a homing pigeon. After releasing the pigeon, she clasped her hands together, praying, “Please safely reach the military camp.”

This scene instantly raised suspicions in Hong Feiyun. She changed direction, pursued the pigeon, and threw a dagger to bring it down.

She hurriedly read the letter the pigeon was carrying, and what she saw was unbelievable.

Her own sister had secretly allied with Tang Jinghong and was passing information covertly.

However, Hong Feiyu had always been trusted by Hong Feiyun, so she wasn’t fully convinced yet, “I need to find Feiyu and ask her myself.”

After tearing up the letter and burying it, Hong Feiyun turned to chase after Hong Feiyu.

By then, Hong Feiyu had reached the mountain peak, where Mu Xiao was waiting.

Dressed in a white silk robe, handsome, his clothes fluttering with the wind, he looked quite dashing. He turned to Hong Feiyu, calling out, “Feiyu, I thought you wouldn’t come.”

Hong Feiyu, who had a gentler appearance, blushed slightly, “How could I not? When you personally invite me, how could I refuse?”

Mu Xiao took her hand tenderly, “Nowadays, the organization keeps me so busy I can’t even think about personal affairs. Now that I have a moment, I couldn’t help but want to see you.”

As he spoke, his eyes darted to the side, then he pulled Hong Feiyu into his embrace, “Feiyu, I’ve missed you so much.”

The approaching Hong Feiyun saw this scene and nearly bit her own teeth in anger.

Feiyu had said she wouldn’t actively seek Mu Xiao’s embrace and declared her love for him, promising never to overstep. What did this mean now?

Hong Feiyun’s eyes turned red with fury, her fingers digging into the tree bark, leaving five deep gouges.

Mu Xiao gently released Hong Feiyu and even kissed her.

Hong Feiyun was furious to the core.

Unable to take it anymore, she turned and left.

She muttered to herself, thinking that Hong Feiyu was probably planning her exit strategy, “From today onwards, we sever all sisterly ties!”

With those harsh words, Hong Feiyu turned and flew away.

Mu Xiao and Hong Feiyun then transformed back into Zeng Huo and a maid.

Lou Ze sat on a tree branch, watching the drama unfold.

Soon, Hong Feiyu arrived near the peak.

She saw on the mountain peak, Hong Feiyun pulling Mu Xiao into a forceful kiss, and Mu Xiao not pushing his sister away.

Hong Feiyu was also furious, everything had to be a competition with her sister, even though Mu Xiao had invited her, her sister had to interfere.

“Hong Feiyun, from today onwards, our sisterly bond is utterly severed!”

Spitting out those words with finality, Hong Feiyu turned and flew away.

Mu Xiao and Hong Feiyun transformed back into Zeng Huo and the maid.

Lou Ze shook his head gently, truly, women in love could be foolish, even a clearly fake plot of discord could succeed. But this was good; it saved him the trouble of devising more complex schemes.

Zeng Huo asked, “What do we do next?”

Lou Ze replied, “Let’s see how the sisters’ infighting unfolds first. No rush.”

Zeng Huo glanced at Lou Ze, Chu Qingzhi was indeed too cunning, “Then you go back to the Lu Mansion to continue with the medicine research, I’ll keep an eye on the two sisters.”

“Okay.” Lou Ze nodded and flew away.

The maid watched Lou Ze leave, then embraced Zeng Huo tenderly, asking, “When will you come home for a visit? The child misses his father.”

Zeng Huo kissed the maid’s face, “In a while.”

The maid looked reluctant, “What should I tell our child?”

Zeng Huo embraced her tightly, comforting her, “Just say I went north on business and will visit him once it’s settled. General Tang has already deployed his forces; these people in the eastern border won’t last much longer.”

The maid nodded, then asked, “Can she really keep you safe?”

Zeng Huo assured, “Don’t worry, if she says she can, then she definitely can. Once the Yun organization is destroyed, I’ll take you to the countryside to live a peaceful life.”

The maid smiled with anticipation, “I’ll wait for you.”

“Good,” sighed Zeng Huo, life was not in his own hands.
