"It sounds just like the truth." Qiao Linxi shook her head and ignored Xiao Ji and the others. Instead, she pulled Tong Yu forward.

"I will prove my words with my actions."

When they returned to Lanqing City, it was almost Chenshi (7 o'clock in the morning). Qiao Linshan and the others had been worried all night, and when they saw Qiao Linxi and Qiao Linbao coming back, they felt relieved and started to make a fire to cook breakfast.

They didn't ask where Qiao Linxi was going, as long as she came back safely.

When he returned to the room, Qiao Linxi saw Gu Changfeng sitting by the window.

When seeing him, Qiao Linxi instantly thought of the fox fairy in the story. If the fox fairy could cultivate into a human form, he should look like Gu Changfeng.

"came back?"

Gu Changfeng didn't look at Qiao Linxi, but drank from a small wine glass. Qiao Linxi suspected that he had been sitting there since yesterday afternoon without moving.

"Have you found the house?"

Qiao Linxi paused as he entered the room. How did he know?

Gu Changfeng put down the wine glass in his hand and moved the scroll in his hand: "Are you confused as to why our family knows what you are doing?"

"There's nothing surprising about this. Since you know Ye Jinglai, you are the person we are looking for."

"Why, do you also want to use my life to exchange for the Dragon God's freedom?"

"Haha," Gu Changfeng looked at the embarrassed Qiao Linxi and said with a smile, "Your life is not that important to our family. At most, we can use your blood to nourish the Dragon God. There is no need to panic."

Qiao Linxi didn't want to bother with these crazy people. She hadn't slept all night and now had a severe headache. As soon as she walked to the bed, she saw a set of peach pink clothes neatly folded on the bed.

"The clothes you are wearing are too ugly. We don't like them."

Qiao Linxi finally got angry: "What does it have to do with me if you don't like it? If you don't like it, you don't have to watch it. I didn't ask you to watch it."

"You're still angry." Gu Changfeng stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked towards Qiao Linxi. Then he picked up the clothes and gestured to Qiao Linxi: "It fits well. Put them on."

"No... change..."

Qiao Linxi just wanted to argue with Gu Changfeng, but she was not Gu Changfeng's pet.

"My dear, you are covered in mud. Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Qiao Linxi couldn't stand Gu Changfeng's look of looking at her like a pet. She pushed the clothes in Gu Changfeng's hand away irritably and rubbed her hair: "I'm not your pet."

Gu Changfeng was not annoyed and put the clothes in front of Qiao Linxi again: "Be obedient. I've prepared hot water for you. Go take a shower and have a good sleep."

Qiao Linxi: ...

What do you call Gu Changfeng's kind of thing, a gentle knife?

"Be good, go ahead. We're going out for a while and I'll have someone bring you some food."

Gu Changfeng pinched Qiao Linxi's nose, then pushed the door open and walked out.

Qiao Linxi was speechless. How could this pervert be so crazy? He looked like a man. What would other people think if he walked out of his room? Wouldn't her reputation be ruined?

"Master Host, this Gu Changfeng seems to be a eunuch, and he has great power."

The system suddenly spoke: "For some reason, Xiaojiujiu can suddenly see him a little more clearly. From the information revealed so far, there is a lot of hostility around this person, and his hands are covered in blood."

The villain eunuch who murdered loyal officials?

"Based on the current information, this is the case..."

Qiao Linxi closed her eyes in pain. Why was she being targeted by such a person?

What is his relationship with the dragon god legend?

"Xiao Jiujiu guessed that this Gu Changfeng might also be here to look for the Dragon God's Tomb. That Dragon God's Tomb might be the one you found under the forest in the cemetery before."

So, only I can open that tomb?

"Maybe. Little Jiujiu is not sure. Little Jiujiu was assigned to the host, and all I know is what the host will collect in his lifetime. I am not sure about other things. Before, little Jiujiu only knew that the host would collect a three-courtyard house when he passed by Lanqing City. As for the story behind this three-courtyard house, little Jiujiu did not know it in advance."

Well, since the system said so, what else can Qiao Linxi say? Can he still blame "him"?

"But don't worry, Master Host. Gu Changfeng and Master Host are not enemies, which means he won't hurt you. The person Master Host is enemies with has already appeared, but Xiao Jiujiu can't remind Master Host yet. This is a violation of the rules and will be punished."

Qiao Linxi rolled her eyes in her heart. Isn't this just saying nothing? But Qiao Linxi thought about who she had offended.

After thinking for a long time, I realized that I had just had an argument with that woman outside the city before. This wouldn't make her hate me, right?

What's the point of holding a grudge against me? Now that we're all on our own, I may not be able to find anyone I want to take revenge on.

Or the woman who wanted him to be her daughter-in-law? That's not the case.

Qiao Linxi couldn't guess who it was so she simply stopped thinking about it. She hadn't slept all night and really wanted to take a bath and have a good sleep.

Since Gu Changfeng had prepared hot water and clothes, why didn't she use them? It was useless to be stubborn, why did she have to put herself in a difficult position?

Life is already difficult, so don't put yourself in a difficult position. The right thing to do is to enjoy life while you can.

After figuring it out, Qiao Linxi went behind the screen, took off her muddy clothes and got into the bathtub.

I have to say that Gu Changfeng is quite romantic. The hot water in the bathtub is just the right temperature, and there are fresh roses floating in the air. There is also a pot of wine and a plate of fruit next to the bathtub.

As expected, villains all know how to enjoy themselves. This way of bathing would have been a luxury in Qiao Linxi's era.

No matter whether he is a villain or not, if he wants to be a bootlicker, just lick him. You are the one who benefits anyway.

When Qiao Linxi thought about it this way, he felt much better and enjoyed it all with peace of mind.

When she came out of the bath and got dressed, Gu Changfeng was already sitting on the table by the window, which made Qiao Linxi suspect that he had taken root there and never moved.

Seeing Qiao Linxi coming out, Gu Changfeng stood up, took the towel from the rack and went over to wipe Qiao Linxi's hair.

"Hua Lian, girls should take care to protect themselves. You can't let the situation like last time happen again. It's because you met me. I am a pure person. If you met someone else, you..."

Gu Changfeng paused: "You should know the consequences."

"My name is not Hua Lian, my name is Qiao Linxi."

Seeing how attentive and thoughtful Gu Changfeng was, Qiao Linxi told him her name. Since the system said that he would not be hostile to her, it meant that they were still friends.

And what he said was right. If Gu Changfeng hadn't been there that night, then she...
