Chapter 118 Get Out Here
Mengyu’s heart fluttered at the sight of the cauldron, though she didn’t know why.
Soon after, Xiao Tao’s voice rang out again: "Master, quick, catch it. This is an alchemy furnace. From now on, you can refine pills by yourself."
Mengyu quickly reached out and took the furnace, smiling at Xiao He: "Thank you, I really furnace, with this, you don’t owe me anything."
Xiao He’s face flushed with pleasure. It was his most cherished possession, but to see Sister Jiang happy with it filled him with satisfaction.
"As long as Sister Jiang likes it, that’s all that matters."
When Cheng Jiuhe took Mengyu back to Yang’an Alley, it was already eight o’clock in the evening.
Cheng Jiuhe first checked the surroundings to make sure there was no ambush before moving Mengyu’s newly purchased box of broken old items and that bag with eight Ming Dynasty Items antiques into Mengyu’s yard.
Although the courtyard given by Cheng Jiuhe was much more exquisite than this one, since its return, it had not been lived in and stood vacant. To make it habitable, a thorough cleaning was needed.
Additionally, because the courtyard was too large, even if all the surrounding residences were occupied, it would not have the same lively atmosphere as Yang’an Alley, where several families lived in one courtyard.
Therefore, Cheng Jiuhe still sent Mengyu back to Yang’an Alley.
Little did he know, to Mengyu, it didn’t matter where she lived since she would definitely enter her cultivation space at night.
She had considered the possibility of people from Yang’an Alley waiting to cause her trouble, but was she afraid?
"I’m telling you, sister, although there are people living to the left and right of you here, these neighbors are not good. Why don’t you just come back and live with your brother instead? That Ma Dapan’s brother, Ma Dana—"
Mengyu gave him a glance: "Brother, do you think, with my abilities, I would be afraid of a Ma Dana? And are you sure that if I lived at your place, your family would welcome me?"
Cheng Jiuhe was left speechless, at his house—Mengyu smiled: "Brother, when you get that courtyard in Houhai fixed up, you should move out."
Cheng Jiuhe was overjoyed: "Great, when the time comes, we siblings can live there together. Now brother is leaving, if sister has any trouble, give me a call."
After checking around once more and ensuring no one was there to bother his sister, he drove away.
Before leaving, he also handed over a dagger to Mengyu for self-defense.
Mengyu really wanted to say that she had weapons; there were Longswords, short swords, bows and arrows, and other Magic Artifacts in the thatched house.
However, she could not take those out. So, she just accepted the dagger Cheng Jiuhe gave her.
Mengyu closed the courtyard door and entered the study in the front yard.
Although the main house was in the rear courtyard, Mengyu didn’t like living in a room without proper cleaning up after others, so she only took over a study that the previous owner had used in the front courtyard.
After all, she wasn’t planning to sleep in a bed anyway because she was definitely going to enter her space at night to cultivate and study in the thatched house.
Just as she was about to enter her space, she heard a knock at the courtyard door.
"Little slut, get out here!"
Cheng Jiuhe had not found anyone lying in ambush because he only checked inside the alley and not in the neighbors’ houses.
Yes, it wasn’t that Ma Dapan, along with Ma Dana and their gang were lying in wait in the alley, but instead they were waiting inside the neighbor Jiang Xiuying’s home.
When Mengyu came back, they had planned to come out, but upon noticing Cheng Jiuhe as well, they did not rush out.
It wasn’t until Cheng Jiuhe drove off, and they saw Mengyu alone, that they came out from the neighbor’s house.
