That night, Zhong Li slept fairly soundly, and when she woke up the next day, she found that his embroidered spring knife was still on the desk, and she frowned slightly.

Such a knife is too conspicuous. If the maid is sent to deliver it, it will be seen by others. Zhong Li thought about it and called Xia He in. Last time Qin Xing brought her and Xia He together. After walking through the secret passage, it would be appropriate for Xia He to return through the secret passage.

"Give the knife back to the third uncle."

According to the time, he should have left Zaochao, and Zhong Li didn't know whether he was there or not. After thinking for a moment, he said, "After you pass, knock on the secret door first to see if someone will open the door for you. Return the embroidered spring knife to them, and if no one opens the door, come back and don't break in without authorization."

He was not allowed to have confidential documents in the room. Xia Heruo broke in without authorization, and what happened in the future could not be explained at all, so it was better not to enter.

Xia He nodded slightly.

Not long after, she came back with the embroidered spring knife, "Girl, there is no one in the third master's room."

Zhong Li sighed, feeling a little melancholy for a while. When she thought of Gu Lin besieging her, there was a black-clothed girl beside her, and Zhong Li's heart moved slightly. Pei Xing just left last night, so he shouldn't have time to evacuate.

So, is this girl still alive?

After Xia He stepped back, she asked in a low voice with the mentality of giving it a try, "Hey, are you there?"

The room was quiet, with only his own voice echoing in the air.

Zhong Li thought for a while and then said: "You are the one sent by the third uncle, right? You helped me stop Gu Lin last time. I haven't thanked you well, I really appreciate it."

The room was still very quiet, and the girl did not intend to answer.

Zhong Li recited a few more words, and then said: "The third uncle's knife fell here, can you help me return it to him? You are so powerful in Qinggong, you will definitely be able to easily return the embroidered spring knife to Youfengtang, right? Please, please, please help me, I can make delicious cakes for you."

The breeze blew, and the flowers on the windowsill shook slightly. Just when Zhong Li thought that the girl would not reappear, a black shadow jumped in from the window. She was as light as a swallow and moved quickly. When an afterimage flashed by, he stood firmly inside the room.

The girl was still dressed in black, looking at her seventeen or eighteen-year-old appearance, her brows and eyes were very pale, and the murderous aura in her eyes had subsided. Compared with the last time, she seemed much milder.

I don't know if it was Zhong Li's pleas or the cakes.

She said lightly, "My mission is to protect you."

Zhong Li was very grateful, blessed her, and said sternly: "You can help me run a trip. Before you come back, I will stay in Zhaixing Pavilion and won't go anywhere."

She is so good at Qinggong, and Zhaixing Pavilion is not far from Youfeng Hall. If you let her run, it is estimated that even a stick of incense will not be used.

After all, the girl nodded, picked up the embroidered spring knife and jumped out of the window. Her figure was so fast that when Zhong Li only saw an afterimage, she disappeared from sight.

Zhong Li was envious of her good skills. If she was so good, she would not have to be afraid wherever she went in the future. Fortunately, she has developed a lot of poisons, and the poisons are close to her body. At least she no longer has to worry about encountering someone like Gu Lin. lecher.

The girl came back soon, and when she appeared indoors again, the Embroidered Spring Sabre was missing in her hand, "It has been returned."

After saying these three words, she was about to leave, and Zhong Li hurriedly stopped her, "Wait a minute, what's the girl's name? How should I call you."

"Luo Yu."

The girl left two words and disappeared again. Zhong Li originally wanted to ask her when to leave, but she had to give up.

Zhong Li said she wanted to make cakes, but she really wanted to make cakes. She didn't have any cooking skills, so she knew how to make cakes. She learned from her mother. Not only Chenger likes to eat it, but she also likes to eat it herself.

For her, making cakes is something that can calm her down. Whenever she is emotionally unstable, she will practice calligraphy and make cakes, and she will soon calm down.

On this day, Zhong Li went to the small kitchen. Cheng’er liked plum-shaped cakes very much, so Zhong Li made some for him.

After she was done, she called "Luoyu", and after being called twice, Luoyu showed up, she was not polite, she walked three blocks at once, and then the figure disappeared.

Pei Xing was busy outside for a long time before returning to Youfeng Hall. As soon as he came in, he swept the embroidered spring knife on the desk, and he couldn't help frowning, "Who brought it?"

Since he returned from picking Star Pavilion yesterday, he has been cold-faced, no need to guess, he also had a conflict with Miss Zhong.

Qin Xing didn't dare to touch his bad head, and quickly replied, "Luoyu sent it back."

Pei Xing's face was terribly cold, "Who allowed her to leave without permission?"

Qin Xing touched the tip of his nose and explained to Luoyu, "It was Miss Zhong who asked her for help, and she called her several times before she showed up. After she delivered the knife, she went back immediately. Well, Xiaoliu just now. When she went to deliver meals to Luoyu, she also asked Xiaoliu to bring you two cakes, saying that Miss Zhong made it herself, so the master will spare her this time."

Pei Xing only heard that it was made by Miss Zhong, but the people next to him didn't pay attention. He glanced coldly, only to find that on the red sandalwood table, there was a plate with a lotus leaf figure of fish play, and there were two pieces of candy on the plate. Lovely little pastries.

One piece is not big at all, two miserable pieces, placed together, are not enough to fill the gap between the teeth, how could Pei Xing cherish her two cakes.

He stared at the cake and looked at it, but the coldness on his face dissipated a little unconsciously, and he just thought she was interested.

"Why do you send two yuan, who will be enough to eat?"

After he finished speaking, he picked up a piece and took a bite. The pastry melted in the mouth, soft and crispy, not too sweet. Rao, who doesn't like pastry, thought it tasted good.

The cakes are small and delicate, and he bites off more than half of them in one bite.

Qin Xing said truthfully: "When Miss Zhong gave it to her, Luo Yu was embarrassed to take more. She only took two pieces and sent them to you."

Pei Xing's expression paused for a while, and then he realized that he was being passionate about daring, and the cake in his mouth suddenly lost its taste.
