Someone always hinders my strategy

When Lu Xi woke up, it was just dawn, and it looked a little dark, but the people in the villa seemed to get up earlier than him, and heard a beautiful female voice as soon as he woke up.

"Young Master, are you awake?" Looking up, it was true to her voice, the woman had a face that matched her voice very well, she was pure and clean, but she seemed to be a maidservant just by her clothes.

——But judging from her upbringing temperament, she looks a bit like a young lady from a wealthy family.

"The maid's name is Ningshuang, and the owner sent her to take care of the young master." The woman, that is, Ningshuang, bowed slightly and bowed to Lu Qi.

Lu Xi hurriedly stopped her: "This...Sister Ningshuang, Lu Xi is just someone who needs help from the owner, how can he be taken care of by the owner?"

"You deserve it." Ningshuang lowered her eyes with a very respectful look, "Young master is the owner's cousin, so he deserves to be taken care of by the owner."

"Cousin?" Lu Xi looked blank, he felt as if he had gotten lucky now, as if the pie fell from the sky, he couldn't figure out the direction.

"Ningshuang, why did you snatch all my words?" Lu Qi raised his head, and a familiar face came into his sight.

Of course he is familiar with it, this is the person who saved him yesterday, and that appearance can leave a deep impression on people even among the crowd.

"Master, why did you come back early today?" Ningshuang asked, "I wonder if the master has enough time to practice swords?" Although she was a maid, she didn't show enough to treat the master. Respect, it's like an ordinary friend.

"There are guests here, how can I neglect?" Wan Yao raised his eyebrows, a small movement seemed extremely vivid.

This made Lu Qi feel that the exile-like figure he saw for the first time seemed to have fallen into the mortal world at this moment, and the cold sense of distance disappeared. At this moment, he is within reach.

"Ningshuang is just the owner's maidservant, so she can't dictate to the owner." Ningshuang said, although she didn't criticize Wan Yao on the surface, there was a sense of accusation between the lines.

"Hey, Ningshuang, you are so serious. I will make up for the lack of time this afternoon. Now I can entertain my guests properly?" Wan Yao supported her forehead, her slender fingers were extremely beautiful, but her fair skin People can clearly see the calluses on his hands.

——That is the callus formed by long-term sword practice.

"The maid is going to step back first." Ningshuang bent down slightly. In fact, this action has many irregularities in terms of etiquette. At first, Lu Xi thought that the rules of the Misty Villa were like this, but now looking at the relationship between the owner and Ningshuang Relationship, presumably this is just the privilege of Ningshuang.

"Then—" Wan Jia pulled a chair in the room and sat down casually, "If you want to ask anything, just ask."

Wan Yan is so casual, but Lu Xi, who is half lying on the bed, is a little embarrassed. He just woke up and only wears his underwear, and it is not easy to change clothes in front of outsiders. embarrassing.

However, Wan Yan seemed to be totally inconsiderate. He choked back what Lu Xi was about to say when he wanted to freshen up, so he could only ask directly.

"Uh...Master, can you tell me why you want to save me? I heard that the fog in front of Misty Villa is the first checkpoint, and those who want to pass through the checkpoint will be at their own risk." After sorting out his words in his mind, Lu Xicai To be honest, he was more interested in his cousin's question, but asking directly seemed like a relationship, and he didn't like it.

"One mouth at a time, don't you think it's confusing?" Wan Yao leaned on the chair, half of which was suspended in the air, but it was very stable and didn't look wobbly, "You are my cousin, just call me cousin, There is no need to call him Lord Master."

"Uh...cousin?" Lu Xi shouted, and for some reason, when he heard the person in front of him say this, he really wanted to get close to him, so he called out these two words without paying attention, and recovered himself. She couldn't help being a little shy, and quickly lowered her head, and secretly raised her eyes from time to time to look at Wanjiao's expression.

Wan Yao was a little dazed, with unknown emotions surging in his chest. After a long time, he bent the corners of his mouth, not too much, but very real: "Hey, as for the reason, I must have already said it, brother Xi?"

Lu Xi blushed, why did this man call him so intimately?

"Well, I haven't asked yet, why do you say I'm your cousin?" For some reason, Lu Xi couldn't get nervous in front of Wanjiao. Maybe it was Wanjiao's many small actions that lowered his tension. It was as if he was communicating with an ordinary friend, rather than facing a person with a higher status and strength than him.

It's all because this person is so familiar!Lu Qi said in his heart, it's not that he himself likes this kind of intimacy!

"Don't you know?" Wan Yan showed a stunned expression, "I thought you came here because you knew... Is your mother's surname Zhen?"

Lu Qi nodded, and then belatedly asked: "Could it be?"

"That's right." Wan Yan affirmed this, "My mother and your mother are sisters, but my mother severed ties with the family after marrying my father, and I will know you, but It's just that my mother mentioned her sister in my ear." Of course not, the system told him this.

"Then my mother...does she know that her sister is the wife of the former owner of the Misty Villa?" Lu Xi said with a trembling voice, he vaguely guessed something.

Wan Yan was silent. He looked at Lu Qi, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He was obviously young, but he was so keen: "She...knows." And Lu Xi must have come here...to take refuge.

"I want to go back!" Lu Xi threw off the quilt and hurriedly got out of bed.

Wan Yan quickly grabbed his hand: "Go back, you are still injured!" The tone of these words seemed a little heavy, and Lu Xi was startled, but he stopped struggling to leave.

Seeing that the child was frightened into a fool by herself, Wan Yao softened her tone: "What can you do if you go back now, if you wait for your injury to recover, I will go back with you."

"Really?" Lu Qi looked up at Wan Yan, as if grasping at the last straw.

Wan Yan nodded and said solemnly: "Really."

Only then did Lu Qi obediently crawl back onto the bed, but the worry in his heart overwhelmed his shyness of wearing only his underwear in front of someone he had just met not long ago.

Seeing that Lu Qi had covered the quilt, Wan Yao looked out the window and called out, "Like the moon."

"Master." Then I saw a fairy-like woman walking in with a bowl of soup medicine. It was even colder than Wan Yan when we first met, as if her heart had been frozen.

Wan Yan took the decoction and was about to feed Lu Xi. Lu Xi hurriedly got up and took the decoction: "I... I will do it myself!" His face was flushed in panic.

Seeing this, Wan Yan smiled slightly: "Siyue, you are about the same age as Lu Xi, why do you always have a straight face? Young people, you should smile more."

Like the moon drooping eyes did not answer.

On the other hand, Ningshuang, who was about to come in at the door, heard this, and immediately picked up the words: "Master, you are not a few years older, but you are too good-looking, so you should stop smiling, or you will seduce some girl." The soul is not good."

"Your owner looks good even if I don't smile, so why don't I seduce other girls' souls?" Wan Yan retorted with a smile. , but he has a good impression of them. After all, they were the ones who accompanied him through that dark time. It is also due to Ningshuang that he can still laugh now, so even if there is any story behind them, he will find a way to help them of.

Although completing the task is doomed that he can only revolve around his mission goal in this life, but that kind of life is too lonely, and in this life he is grateful for having these two people who accompany him like this, so he will do his utmost kindness To help those who are kind to him.

"My maid can't say enough about you." Ningshuang didn't answer anymore, she just said, "Breakfast is already served, where will the master have it?"

"Let's just stay here in the Orchid Courtyard. Brother Qi is injured, so it's not advisable to go too far."

Lu Xi didn't quite understand what the orchid courtyard meant, and what the word "lan" was, so he just nodded, finished drinking the medicine, washed up after they went out, and then walked out of the house.

At this time Wan Yan was no longer outside the house, only Si Yue stood there alone, as if waiting for him.

"That... Sister Siyue?" Lu Qi scratched his hair and asked.

"Just call me Siyue." Siyue said, different from the indifference in front of Wanjiao, in front of outsiders, she was still respectful as a maidservant should be.What's interesting is that she and Ningshuang behaved completely opposite in front of Wanjiao, but they were surprisingly the same in front of outsiders.

"Uh...Siyue, where did cousin go?" Lu Xi asked a question that he thought was stupid. He was the owner of the villa, how could he have so much time to spend with him?

"The owner just finished practicing the sword earlier. Although there was not enough time, he was still sweating. Seeing the young master washing up, he went to take a bath." Siyue replied respectfully, not feeling that she had exposed her master's whereabouts at all. What a bad thing to give to outsiders.

But judging by Wan Yan's attitude, Lu Xi doesn't look like an outsider.

On the other hand, Lu Xi, after hearing this, thought of something, and his face turned red.

Walking through the long corridor, followed Siyue into a hall, and saw a round table in the hall, Wan Yao had already sat down, her long hair was loose, her outer robe was casually put on, her face was still flushed from the bath, Coupled with that beautiful face, it is extremely attractive.

"Cousin, cousin." Lu Xi felt his face was a little hot, and he blamed his cousin for being too beautiful, um, that's it.

"Brother Xi is here, let's have dinner." Wan Yao said, picking up the chopsticks.

The two quietly finished a delicious breakfast, took the towel handed over by the maid to wipe off the food residue left on their mouths and hands, and then sat on the chairs and started talking.

"Cousin, my injury is not very serious, can I go back sooner?" Lu Qi was eager to return home, and wished he could go back today, but he promised that the injury would be healed, and he couldn't break the contract.

"Well, with the combination of wound medicine, it should be better tomorrow." Lu Xi's body was just a few flesh wounds, and he said that he was waiting for him to recover from his injuries, but it was just waiting for Wan Yan to order the things in the villa. Although there are few people in the villa , but things that should be allocated should be properly allocated, and he plans to take Ningshuang Xiyue with him when he goes out this time. The two of them will fight, and the people in the villa are not worried about them.

"Watch... huh?" Lu Xi was a little surprised. He thought it would take a while, but he didn't expect the so-called wound medicine to be so powerful, and he didn't expect the previous agreement to be achieved so easily.

"By the way, this is the Misty Grass your mother needs." Wan Yao took out an exquisite jade box, which contained a herb, which was exactly the goal of Lu Qi's trip: the Misty Grass.

"I don't know how to thank you for such a precious thing!" Lu Xi took the jade box. He thought that the trip would be difficult, even if it failed. He didn't expect to get such a rare Misty Grass so easily.

"The Misty Grass, which is rare in the world, is just a weed in my Misty Villa. It's just that it's rare and expensive." sky-high price?As for the jade box, it's just to improve the standard.

"No matter what, I still want to thank my cousin. If my cousin needs me for anything in the future, even if I go through fire and water, please let me repay you!" I said this solemnly, and my tone was full of gratitude.

Looking at Lu Qi, Wan Yan became more and more satisfied. He knew that the mission targets the system was looking for were all dragons and phoenixes, but Wan Yan was also happy to see the young man who swore to repay him. After all, who doesn't like such a kindness? What about the boy?

"Then take a stroll around this Misty Villa with me, it's not in vain for you to come here." Wan Yan smiled, and casually spent the reward Lu Xi promised.
