Beichen frowned, clearly not very trusting, "He protected you?"
"What? Look down on me? I would risk my life for my sister-in-law!" Yu Er puffed up his eyes angrily, resembling a bulb-eyed goldfish.
Beichen seemed touched by his words and changed his tune, "I didn't mean any disrespect, protecting Su Wan is good."
People who disliked each other now temporarily shook hands and made peace.
After returning to the hotel and tidying up briefly, Yu Rongling drove me back to Spring Wind Town.
As soon as I got back I was so tired I lay flat and rested, sleeping for a whole day and night; I awoke groggily to the sound of knocking.
I casually threw on a jacket and shuffled over in my slippers to open the door.
Seeing the person standing at the door, I said, "Beichen, have you come back from the Serpent Domain?"
"Yes." Beichen nodded solemnly, "Snake Lord encountered some trouble in the Serpent Domain…"
Suddenly, the wardrobe door burst open and a tall man tumbled out, "Ouch, that hurt, my butt… Hiss~~"
"Dumbass, you're healed now, so why are you sleeping in my wardrobe?" I regretted so badly, why did I blurt out and let him sleep in the wardrobe.
Yu Rongling lazily got up from the wardrobe door and stretched, like a maggot, "Sister-in-law, I was hibernating, of course, I needed to find somewhere comfortable, and your and brother's wardrobe smells like mom."
"Mom…" I thought of Qing Li and was suddenly lost in thought.
I had not yet told the dumbass about Qing Li who's his mom, and in City A, it seemed only he sensed that his mother was in the Lin Family, thus he had brashly entered the Lin Family Sect regardless of life and death.
This child, probably more attached to his mother than anyone else.
When Yu Rongling saw Beichen, he finally perked up, "Where's my brother? Has he come back yet?"
"Not yet, you better go help out a bit. Snake Lord is suppressing those restless Snake Spirits alone," Beichen furrowed his brows.
The previously half-dead looking Yu Rongling suddenly brightened, "Those Snake Spirits have been restless for a while; if it wasn't for dad suppressing them, they would have rebelled long ago! Finally, it's my turn to be of use, sister-in-law, I'm going to support my brother now, bye-bye."
Before his words were finished, he dashed out and disappeared in a flash.
This unfortunate child is indeed simple-minded.
Even a tricky issue for Yu Longting excites him.
I asked Beichen, "How is Yu Longting doing in the Serpent Domain?"
"He's just finding it a bit troublesome, and needs some time," Beichen said.
Seeing something off about Beichen's expression and that he hadn't stayed in the Serpent Domain to help but had come back, I proactively asked, "Beichen, do you have something else to discuss with me?"
Beichen nodded gravely, "In the Serpent Domain, Snake Lord instructed me to fetch some tonics for you from the treasury. But…"
"But what??" I asked seriously.
Though he was usually cold and decisive, it was rare for him to hem and haw .
Beichen pursed his lips, his complexion as dark as the bottom of a pot, "When you and Snake Lord left the treasury, did you notice… the door to the treasury wasn't closed."
"It seems… it wasn't closed. What's the problem? Is leaving the treasury door open a big deal?" I carefully recalled, at that time Yu Longting didn't close it and I didn't care either, his Snake Cave's defensive formation and prohibitions were way better than Lin Family's, "Could it be that the Snake Cave has been robbed?"
Would someone dare to steal from Snake Lord on Snake Mountain? Could it be?
But even if it has been robbed, it wouldn't be Beichen's fault. Beichen's complexion doesn't have to be this troubled.
