Chapter 900: Chapter 562: Catching the Adulterer_2

Dammit, Lou Ji was staying in her own quarters tonight.

In other words, her arrival had now been discovered by Lou Ji.

Nor to advance, nor to retreat.

After standing in place for a long time, Xu Yuan was surprised to find that the Inscription Lamp in Lou Ji’s yard had been extinguished.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan unconsciously let out a breath.

It seems that in the end, elder sister Lou has tacitly agreed to his decision.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan smiled slightly, stepped forward to the door of the courtyard, stood firm, used his Spiritual Vision to sweep across and found that the Protector Formation was shut off, clearly, Xiao Bai had left the door open for him again.

Pushing open the courtyard door, just as he stood on the stone path already covered with a thin layer of snow, a creaking sound came from the door opening, immediately followed by a graceful shadow that appeared through the reflection of the light on the snow...

...

...

...

"Dut...Dut...Dut..."

A seductive fragrance wafted through the dark and elegant dwelling, in the center of which stood a desk, with a voluptuous and slender silhouette rhythmically tapping her fingertips against the scroll in front of her.

Her gaze pierced through the shut window lattice, watching the chaos of the snowflakes outside, a hint of helplessness shining in Lou Ji’s eyes.

The Earth Palace Remnants...

After observing for these days, the actions of that Miss Bai had been highly purposeful, and she knew how to adjust her attitude according to her identity and the identity of the people she faced.

Personally, she actually liked Miss Bai’s character.

Ambitious and capable, with strong initiative, willing to pay any price for her ambitions.

But this appreciation was as a subordinate.

If Changtian were willing to hand this girl over to her for guidance, and if she could withstand the test, Lou Ji would even consider shaping this Earth Palace Si Ming as her own successor.

But as a concubine of Changtian, Lou Ji only felt disgust towards this surname Bai.

Changtian was a man of deep feelings, even if it was all exchanges of interests now, over time affection would burgeon, and Changtian would inevitably develop feelings for this woman, leading to hesitation.

This was actually quite fatal.

Bai Muxi’s ability to adapt herself to different statuses would make her continuously overreach, and even if she crossed the line, given Changtian’s disposition, it was highly probable he wouldn’t be able to deal a lethal blow.

Based on this, Lou Ji even felt that Wu Yuan of the Li Family, who was strong to the extreme, wasn’t as threatening as this surname Bai, the Si Ming.

Because Li Qingyan understood the boundaries well, even though she was assertive, she had her own pride and wouldn’t exploit Changtian’s disposition to do something presumptuous.

Thinking thus, Lou Ji raised a slender finger to gently massage her temples, a slight headache setting in.

Ran Jianli’s disciple was too indifferent by nature, and would never suppress Bai Muxi, and the Saintess of Jiatiange’s tactics were not even worth mentioning. Not being completely manipulated by this woman was already difficult.

Irritated, but as a thought flashed through her mind, the corners of Lou Ji’s lips suddenly curled into a smile.

She thought of the girl from the Li Family.

Changtian would not deal a lethal blow to this surname Bai, but Li Qingyan might not do the same, if Bai Muxi became too overbearing, Li Qingyan wouldn’t care about the consequences and would surely kill her.

By then, if she could help hide this from Changtian in the Prime Minister’s Mansion, if all went well, it could even promote internal stability.

Thinking, Lou Ji suddenly exhaled a self-mocking breath.

She felt she was thinking too idealistically.

The investigation records, as delicate as snowflakes, all stated that the confrontation between the Imperial Family and the Prime Minister’s Mansion was imminent; the Northern Frontier had even seen minor skirmishes, and Li Qingyan would most likely be the enemy.

In other words, if that Miss Bai really dared to overstep, in the end, it would still be her, elder sister Lou, who would have to play the villain...

"Sigh..."

With a soft sigh, Lou Ji glanced at the courtyard where Bai Muxi resided.

The matter of the Earth Palace Remnants had been decided by Changtian so it would have to be left at that for now.

Having made up her mind, Lou Ji slowly stood up from the chair.

She stayed in the Prime Minister’s Mansion tonight to see Changtian’s choice, and now it was time to go to the Geometry Institute to work with Jiang He and Luo Xiran to convert the separated Boundary Void Stone into a Transmission Formation.

She had already stayed in Di’an for too long; once this matter was dealt with, she’d have to set out to investigate Wanyao Valley at once, that terrifying plague crazily rampant in the Northern Frontier was most likely just a trial of the drug by the other side; to fully resolve it, she must investigate personally...

Lost in thought, Lou Ji had already flashed outside the courtyard, with a few bounds nearing the edge of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, just as she was about to use the Will-spirit Key to bypass the Mansion’s Formation, a pair of emerald eyes suddenly glanced towards the direction of Xiangqin Pavilion.

Hmm?

Why was Ran Jianli’s disciple heading towards Xiangqin Pavilion?

Should I remind Changtian?

"....."

After a moment of thought, Lou Ji chuckled and shook her head, pushing aside the idea of staying in the Prime Minister’s Mansion to enjoy the spectacle, and disappeared on the spot with a sudden movement.

Hopefully, Changtian doesn’t misunderstand.....

...

...

...

Snow fell thickly in front of the door.

Xu Yuan watched Bai Muxi, who was dressed in a thin white outfit, her face slightly made-up and beautiful, her lips like roses, and her bright eyes moving as if they contained a pool of spring water. Underneath the silk fabric, a wickedly designed bellyband that was partly revealed added to her charm, and her flat and fair abdomen caught the eye immediately.

In a fleeting glance,

Bai Muxi’s face turned red, and she looked away.

Xu Yuan slightly adjusted his brocade robe, a smile lifting the corners of his mouth, eyeing the unfamiliar white outfit she was wearing:

"Where’s the purple outfit you bought during the day?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai straightened her waist and curtsied:

"The gift from the young master was too valuable, Muxi wanted to save it, so I went out and bought this plain dress today. If the young master doesn’t like it, I will go and change immediately."

The bellyband seemed to be of a special design, it wasn’t tightly constricting, and with the movements of Bai Muxi, glimpses of her snow-white skin quivered lightly.

It’s really beyond me how she, so unfamiliar with Di’an City, managed to find a clothing shop with such fashion.

Thinking so, Xu Yuan shook his head and pointed to the inside of the house:

"It’s snowy and cold outside; let’s go inside and talk."

At his words, Bai Muxi immediately stepped aside, allowing Xu Yuan to enter first, but he waved his hand, gesturing for her to proceed, so she turned and glided lightly toward the interior.

The white silk outfit had a slit at the hem, and as she walked, glimpses of her fair skin on her thighs would appear and disappear, her slender legs were wrapped in over-the-knee damask silk stockings, with the tightenings made just right and the flesh of her calves peeking through the gaps in the pattern of the stockings.

White.

This pure color like snow suddenly reminded Xu Yuan of another woman who also liked to wear plain clothes, and the silk stockings left to him by Su Meimo in Jingjiang Prefecture.

Just as he sat down upon entering the room, the inscription lamp inside went out, and the moonless night instantly darkened the room completely.

Deprived of sight, the faint scent of a woman immediately filled his nose.

Before he could speak, the next moment, Xu Yuan felt a pair of delicate arms gently wrap around his neck from behind, with a soft body lightly pressing against his back, and a breath as gentle as orchids tickling his ear, causing goosebumps.

Wow...

Quite the skilled move.

Xu Yuan caught the woman’s delicate wrist, which felt as if boneless, and with a strong pull, he turned and brought the body that had just gasped in surprise into his embrace.

Snap.

With a flick of his fingers, the light returned.

Bai Muxi’s eyes were watery, her cheeks flushed, and her arms instinctively crossed over her chest, leading to a bit of deformation from the pressure...

"....."

"....."

"Knock, knock, knock..."

"Mr. Bai... your courtyard door is open; may I come in, there’s something I wish to discuss with you?"

"...." Xu Yuan’s pupils suddenly constricted.

"...." Bai Muxi’s fists clenched instantly.

The familiar voice came from outside the door, and in a moment of silence, Xu Yuan suddenly sprang up from Bai Muxi, who had already been exposed to the beginnings of a seductive scene, fixed his gaze on the door for a moment, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Damn it.

No, it’s not over yet.

Ran Qingmo would not use her will-spirit to probe someone’s room at will.

Casting a glance at Xiao Bai, still motionless as if playing dead, Xu Yuan orderly put on his brocade robe and then took the initiative to speak:

"You... weren’t you going to rest? Why are you looking for Bai Muxi so late?"
