Li Qiang said, "That's easier. When you're hungry, go to the Han Family's kitchen and take the lead. A rich family like them will never have their kitchen break for a picnic." Sima Yan gave a satisfied smile, "You are really a little out of expectations. You actually thought of such a shameless method. Fine, then let's go in. We'll have to stay here for a few days sooner or later anyway."
The tall wall in front of them was naturally not a problem for the two of them. They easily climbed over the wall and entered the house, passing through the back garden. Layers upon layers of mountains appeared before their eyes, and countless courtyards could be seen between the trees and flowers.
Li Qiang poked her and said, "When we're escaping, you better behave yourself and not cause us any trouble." Sima Yan unhappily replied, "From what you said, it seems that I like to steal things. But looking at the grandeur of this Han Residence, there should be quite a few treasures hidden." Li Qiang said, "So what? Let's hurry up and find a room to hide in, lest we cause unnecessary trouble."
Just as the two were about to leave, they suddenly heard someone ask in a sweet voice, "What are you two doing? Why are you here?"
Li Qiang turned his head and saw Han Xuan standing in front of them with a puzzled expression. He could only helplessly smile and say, "I've caused a bit of trouble and wanted to stay in the Han Estate for a few days. Would Miss agree?" Han Xuanqi said, "Even if it's a lodging, you should still enter through the main entrance, pay your respects to my father, and then let him decide. Why did you sneak into the backyard?"
Beside her, Sima Yan said in a low voice, "Stop talking nonsense and get rid of sher." When Li Qiang heard this, he was shocked. He thought to himself, "A woman of the martial world is extremely vicious. Facing such a delicate young lady, how can she be killed so easily?" Looking at Li Qiang's expression, Sima Yan knew what he was thinking in his heart. Sighing, she said, "You have really changed too much. One day, I will definitely die in your hands." Han Xuan looked at Sima Yan and asked, "And who is this woman?" Li Qiang said, "She's a friend of mine."
"Friends?" Han Xuan sized up Sima Yan, her tone sounding quite displeased. Sima Yan was also very unhappy, she whispered in Li Qiang's ear, "Who is she to you? The taste of vinegar in his mouth is not small at all. " Li Qiang laughed awkwardly, "This is Miss Han, please don't take offense."
At this moment, Han Xuan said, "You can stay, but your companions must leave." Li Qiang said with a smile, "There's no need for that. We just need to stay here for a few days, and then we won't have to trouble your family anymore." Han Xuan coldly snorted, "You already gave me face by leaving you behind on my father's back. What else do you want? If I don't chase her away, I won't let you keep her here."
Sima Yan sneered, "It's not up to you to decide where I want to live." As she said this, she quickly reached out and grabbed Han Xuan's neck. Han Xuan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She didn't think that Li Qiang's new companion would be so powerful, catching her off guard. She immediately looked towards Li Qiang with a pleading gaze.
Li Qiang laughed and said, "I am truly sorry. This friend of mine has a bad temper. As long as Miss treats her politely, she will treat you as a friend." Han Xuan could only say, "Alright then. I'll arrange a place for you to stay. Hurry up and let her go."
Sima Yan replied, "Not only do you have to arrange food and shelter for us, you also have to apologize to me. In my entire life, the thing I hate the most is for people to be rude to me, and every time I encounter something like this, I will start to fight. If there is a human life, it is none of my business." Han Xuan could only say in a low voice, "Elder sister, I'll apologize to you. I hope you can forgive my sister's rude treatment."
Li Qiang also stood to the side and tried to smooth things over, "Everyone take a step back, then there will be peace and harmony, right?" Sima Yan let go of her hand, calmly replying, "That's right. If you had been so polite at the start, I wouldn't have made such an unnecessary move."
At this time, Han Xuan had already been intimidated by Sima Yan's martial arts, and was no longer as arrogant as before. Her every action and gesture was extremely courteous. She led them to an empty courtyard: "This is the house where we entertain guests. Normally no one comes so you can stay here. I will send people to give you food every day."
There were a total of three rooms, one for the main house and two for the side room. For the sake of the lady's priority, Li Qiang gave the main house to Sima Yan, while he himself stayed in the side room. After Han Xuan left, Sima Yan asked, "Will this woman betray us?" Li Qiang shook his head and said, "At least not now. She still has something that she wants me to help her with." Sima Yan asked, "What did she ask you to do for her?"
Li Qiang helplessly smiled bitterly before saying, "She wants me to help her kill her father." Sima Yan was surprised, "Why would she have such a strange request? Killing a father is a great sin, does she not want to live? " Li Qiang told her the whole story, and Sima Yan said, "Even so, we shouldn't have had anyone kill our father, right? Let's leave this place as soon as possible, this girl is not a good person." Li Qiang helplessly said, "The officials outside are capturing us. Since Situ Yue was knocked to the ground by you, she will naturally lose face and definitely not let us go. We should return and rest here. It won't be too late to leave after the limelight has passed."
Sima Yan replied, "It seems to me that you are reluctant to leave after seeing Miss Han's beauty." Li Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "You really wronged me by saying this. Ever since I took the task of marrying enough wives, I had to spend a lot of time and effort in order to get to such a state. I even thought of giving up on it; there really isn't a need to put myself in such a dangerous situation for the sake of that imaginary goal." Sima Yan asked, "Hearing these words, could it be that you want to live in seclusion?"
Li Qiang nodded his head and said, "That's right. I still have several tens of thousands of taels of silver in my purse. This is enough for me to live a carefree life. Sima Yan shook her head, "You're thinking pretty well. It's a pity that the chances of it happening are too slim." Li Qiang said, "If I quit the martial arts world on my own, would there be people who could chase me and kill me?"
Sima Yan replied, "When people are in the martial arts world, they are helpless. The hatred and troubles you bear are simply too many. It's not something that can be solved with just a single sentence. No matter how much I like to joke, I will listen to your advice." Li Qiang sighed and suddenly discovered that there was actually a jar of fine wine in the room. She opened it and smelled a fragrant aroma. After finding two wine cups, she filled them to the brim and gulped them down in one gulp before remaining silent. Seeing that he was unhappy, Sima Yan also drank a cup with him, and then comforted him, "Why are you so discouraged? Even if you can't leave the martial arts world, isn't it good to live a carefree life in the martial arts world? However, while you are searching for flowers and willow trees, you are always indifferent to me. You have known me for many days, yet you do not have the slightest bit of interest in me? "
Li Qiang looked at Sima Yan in surprise, his pretty face had already turned bright red from the alcohol, but it looked even more seductive. Li Qiang's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "This woman clearly has a good impression of me, and she's also a top quality beauty, why not eat the fat that goes to her mouth?" Thinking about this, he took the initiative to move closer and said softly, "Actually, I have always had a good impression of big sister, no, I have some feelings for Xiao Yan. It's just that due to my face, I'm afraid that you will reject me, I …"
Before he could finish his words, his mouth was suddenly sealed by the cherry lips …
This was the most comfortable moment since he had teleported here. The unhappiness from being tormented by Situ Yue had long since disappeared from his mind. He tightly hugged Sima Yan, as if he was afraid that she would escape. Sima Yan lightly pushed him away, bashfully replying, "Why do you look like you have a treasure? Why are you hugging me so tightly? It hurts so much, but I won't run away."
Li Qiang smiled and said, "I'm really sorry. This is my first time doing something like this. I'm not used to it." Sima Yan laughed involuntarily, "What kind of joke are you playing? It would be good if you lied to those girls who just started their relationship. Isn't it too funny to play this kind of game with me?" He had also told Sima Yan about the problem of amnesia before, but that was not as simple as amnesia. It was that he had never had any intimate contact with a woman before, and when he woke up, the pretty face beside him was really just a charming girl, not to mention that he wasn't the one who did it.
