Chai Ruru was temporarily called away by her mother, and Ning Yan had no reason to stay in Chai Mansion.
While Chai Ruru attracted Chuntao's attention at the front door, Ning Yan easily rolled out of her boudoir window, jumped up, and stepped between the overhanging buildings with his toes as if he were walking on flat ground.
Skillfully like a flower-picking thief who has been in the industry for more than 20 years.
When he returned to Chai Mansion, it was getting late.
Naturally, the discussion with Zhao Sinian can only be postponed. But Ning Yan is not in a hurry, since Zhao Sinian will be in Mingzhou City recently, so he can always meet him.
But facing the busy streets, Ning Yan didn't know where to go.
Thinking of the bastard thing he did last night, he was somewhat ashamed to see Shen Qiuning.
[A man only worries about his fame but not having a wife, so why worry about not having a wife! You have always been ambitious, but you are burdened by women. You really shouldn't...]
Ning Yan was a little surprised that the system took the initiative to enlighten him today?
[...Okay! You have finally made up your mind, today I would rather kill my wife to prove the truth!]
Shut up!
Ning Yan really wished he could slap him twice, that he would still have expectations for this piece of shit.
The system is still chattering endlessly.
[Without a woman in my heart, the God of Nature draws his sword...]
[The best is to forget love, the lowest is to be inferior to love...]
Ning Yan suppressed his headache and thought about countermeasures. After much deliberation, he couldn't find a good solution, so he simply lost his temper and rushed home with his head down.
Do it! You can’t hide anymore, or you’ll get slapped again!
Strangely enough, after he made his decision, the voice in his head suddenly disappeared.
He felt that the world was pure again.
This made Ning Yan feel much better, and her steps were even faster without realizing it.
But when he returned home, he unexpectedly found that Shen Qiuning was not in his room.
"Fairy Shen?"
Ning Yan shouted, but there was no reply from the empty house.
He couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, and turned around to look for traces of Shen Qiuning at home.
Front yard, backyard, central hall, wing room, gallery...
Even the kitchen and stables were turned over, but nothing was found.
Ning Yan had to admit a reality.
She is indeed gone.
Returning to Shen Qiuning's bedroom, Ning Yan sat on the bed in despair.
[The feeling is still there after the person has left the building, and a trace of sadness wells up in your heart. With such stunning beauty, I’m afraid I won’t be able to punish you in the future...]
How deep is your obsession with "punishment"!
However, being interrupted by the dog, the sadness in Ning Yan's heart was diluted a lot.
He had known that the two of them would have to say goodbye eventually, and that both he and Shen Qiuning had their own things to do.
But when this day comes, I will still be a little reluctant to leave.
After all, he has been living alone in this mansion all this time, and Shen Qiuning's appearance is nothing more than adding a touch of color to his blank life.
"It's just a matter of course. Leave a message before leaving..."
Ning Yan sighed and muttered to himself.
On the bed, the traces of her life are clearly visible.
Ning Yan hugged the quilt, and there was still a little fragrance left on it.
Go back and help her put it away...
Ning Yan thought this and was about to get up when he heard a crunch.
The door to the bedroom was pushed open, and Shen Qiu Ning walked in from the outside. She happened to see this scene, and her expression changed.
"What are you doing to my quilt?"
"Ah... wait! It's not what you think!"
……
"Anyway, that's what happened. I thought you were gone, so I wanted to help you clean up."
In the courtyard, Ning Yan sat upright and spoke sternly.
He spent a lot of effort to explain to the other party that he was not that kind of pervert.
"You really don't have anything else on your mind?"
Shen Qiuning clasped her hands on her chest, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at her carefully.
"I would rather someone who is upright and upright would do such a dirty thing!" Ning Yan wished that he could swear to prove his innocence, and asked again: "By the way, what did you do?"
"Going out for a walk." Shen Qiuning replied casually with a calm expression.
"How did you get out? Aren't you afraid that others would find out?"
"Use this."
Shen Qiuning took out a mask as thin as a cicada's wings, put it on her face and pressed it gently a few times, and her appearance instantly changed!
If her true appearance can be considered to be peerless beauty, then this face can only be said to be a charming one, the kind that is hard to distinguish even among a crowd.
"So magical?!" Ning Yan was stunned: "It's just a different person!"
"It's not that simple. The illusion produced by these hundreds of workshops can only hide the appearance, but a person's body, appearance, moves, etc. cannot be concealed. The secret will be exposed as soon as he makes a move. What's more, when you reach the third level, you can search for enemies. It’s not like people don’t have magical powers, so they can deceive ordinary people.”
Despite this, Ning Yan was still very moved, swallowed her saliva and said, "Do you have more? I want to buy one."
Shen Qiuning rolled her eyes at him: "Five hundred taels."
"Why don't you go and grab it?!"
"I'm here to rob you."
"Too much bullying!" Ning Yan suddenly stood up, but under Shen Qiuning's gaze, he slowly sat back down and said resignedly: "Can you apply for a commercial loan? I have a stable income, so I'll give you a discount."
Shen Qiuning didn't know what a commercial loan was, but she felt inexplicably happy when she saw Ning Yan's frustrated look.
Who dares this kid to be frivolous with me? Teach him a lesson!
Then there was a lot of teasing, and after Ning Yan had said all her good things, Shen Qiuning relaxed slightly.
"Promise me a condition and I'll give it to you."
Ning Yan suddenly became alarmed: "What conditions? If you don't do anything illegal and disciplined, my conscience will be more than five hundred taels!"
"It doesn't violate morality or conscience, and it's within your ability."
"Tell me and listen."
"It's not the time yet." Shen Qiuning stared at Ning Yan and said, "If you don't want to, forget it."
Ning Yan hesitated again and again, then nodded and said, "Then...okay!"
Shen Qiuning didn't waste any time, and immediately took out a brand new illusory face and briefly explained the key points of its use.
"Use your true energy to stimulate its various points, so that the illusion will remember what you want it to be."
Ning Yan followed suit and applied the phantom mask on his face.
It has an icy and cool feeling when applied, and the feel is close to that of silk products, which is quite magical.
[Good thing, with this kind of treasure, it will be more convenient to kill people and steal goods in the future! You are very excited, and compared with others, you have your own unique advantages...]
What does it mean?
The system didn't explain much, which made Ning Yan a little unhappy.
You're still talking half-way, but you're still a riddler, why are you stacking buffs here?
Fortunately, Ning Yan was still a bit smart, and it didn't take long for him to figure out how to use the illusion.
When his excitement subsided a little, Shen Qiuning suddenly said for the first time: "Come with me for a walk."
Ning Yan was stunned for a moment, then agreed.
"Okay."
……
Thousands of lights illuminate the blue clouds in the night market, and high-rise buildings are crowded with red-sleeved customers.
This sentence is no exaggeration to describe the night view of Mingzhou City.
In particular, Yanliu Lane is still in a state of blockade. A large number of literati and poets have nowhere to go but to pour into the streets. The night market is even busier than before.
Ning Yan and Shen Qiuning walked side by side on the long street, admiring the prosperity of this prosperous era.
It's just that unlike the intimacy of the men and women around them, these two people are somewhat stiff.
"Um, have you ever gone out to the night market with others before?" Ning Yan asked awkwardly.
"No. I spend most of my time practicing in the sect and rarely go down the mountain." Shen Qiuning shook her head: "What about you?"
Ning Yan vowed: "Me neither."
Indeed, since time travel, he has either been working overtime or supplementing his knowledge through various channels every day.
To be honest, his understanding of Mingzhou City Night Market is not much better than Shen Qiuning's.
Following the direction of the crowd, the two of them were wandering aimlessly. Not long after, they suddenly heard a noise coming from the front.
"This scholar guessed right again! How amazing!"
"He's about to break through three levels! Who else can stop him?"
"Damn it, there is no one left in our Mingzhou city! Let a foreign scholar show off his power!"
Shen Qiuning became interested and blinked at Ning Yan: "Would you like to go and have a look, scholar?"
