Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 2107: Chapter 2107: Is He Playing the Fool? Or Is He Playing the Fool?

She wanted to go directly into the courtyard, but considering the vastness of that courtyard and that she had no idea which room Qian Jiyun was in, she halted, pondering over how to accurately locate Qian Jiyun’s room among so many.

It was at this moment that a man dressed in white walked towards her.

Startled, she shrank back into the rockery, but as the man seemed unfamiliar, clearly not one of the Tufeng Sect disciples she knew, her courage returned.

Perhaps, this person had never seen her?

Looking down at her clothes, the garments of Wang Hua’er, readily identified as those of a servant, she hatched a plan.

“Ahem.”

After a soft cough, she emerged from behind the rockery.

“Excuse me, you, come here for a moment.”

She waved at the man, motioning him to come closer. As he stopped a few steps in front of her, she put on a stern face and questioned him.

“Which courtyard do you belong to? I’ve never seen you before.”

“I am a new servant in the Tufeng Sect, yet to be assigned duties, just waiting here for now,” the man said lightly, sweeping a glance at Xue Manyu.

A new servant?

Xue Manyu felt a surge of joy. A newcomer, and just a servant at that, would be easily deceived.

“Ahem, I am a maid serving by the Sect Master’s side. The Sect Master sent me to find Master Qian. Is he in the courtyard now? Which room is he in?” she asked.

“Master Qian is in the second room of the right wing, he…”

The man precisely elucidated Xue Manyu on Qian Jiyun’s whereabouts.

Hearing this, Xue Manyu couldn’t even wait for him to finish; she pushed the man aside and hurried towards the courtyard. She couldn’t afford to wait for the disciples to return and block her way out.

Opportunity knocks but once; if not now, then when?

Paper Person: “…”

Was he being treated as a fool? Even though he was but a Paper Person, he was created with intelligence!

She had pushed past him and left before he had even finished speaking. Even an idiot would know something was amiss.

So, is he to play the fool? Or play the fool?

Forget it. The master’s command is the most important. If he must play the fool, so be it; he could always demand recompense later. For now, fulfilling the task is paramount.

“High Priest, that woman… uh.”

Leng Yikun, who had just taken a bite of chesnut pastry, was so startled to see Xue Manyu sneaking in from outside like a thief that he choked on his pastry.

An Jiuyue slowly extended her hand, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Leng Yikun.

“Take it slow. At your age, you can still choke on food.”

Leng Yikun hurriedly grabbed the teacup, emptied its contents in one gulp, and finally caught his breath.

He was just too astonished, wasn’t he? Wasn’t that woman Xue Manyu? Wasn’t she confined in the Ancestral Shrine of Tufeng Sect? How could she sneak over to their side and engage in such secretive activities?

“High Priest, that’s Xue Manyu,” he said.

“I am aware,” An Jiuyue acknowledged with a nod. From her vantage point, she naturally had a clear view of Xue Manyu’s thieving-like approach.

It was just that she had cast an array formation; from within that, Xue Manyu could not see anything.

“You knew? Then why… How could she come here?”

Leng Yikun was even more astounded. It was one thing for Xue Manyu to escape, but how come she had come here?
