Chapter 164: Enter the Mountain in Search of Treasure 6

“Si Jin is different, Si Jin is a little cutie, he is the world’s greatest cutie!” Saying this, Qi Qingyao smiled and pinched Si Jin’s cheeks.
Jiang Yeqian felt as if he was about to blow a fuse and took a deep breath. Looking toward the intimate pair, he attempted to build his mental resistance toward the idea of the two of them as he cooled his anger.
“Hmph!”
Being on the receiving end of the harrumph, Qi Qingyao scratched her head and was about to refute but eventually decided to let it be. What was the point of picking a bone with him? He was just an amnesiac.
However, she still muttered exasperatedly, “He’s crazy.”
Si Jin patted Qi Qingyao’s shoulder as he consoled her, “It’s because you saved him. The only person he recognizes now is you, that’s why he thinks you’re his master. But you love your children and also love me, so it’s inevitable that he would feel like he’s been abandoned!”
Qi Qingyao replied, “That can’t be helped, then. Why would an amnesiac, temporary subordinate need a placement?”
“Exactly.” Si Jin agreed.
Jiang Yeqian, “…”
Here they went again.
He felt that if he ever were to die one day, it would not be the State Preceptor, Li Ruoxuan who killed him. Instead, it would be these two who would drive him to death through anger!
One spoke nonsense while the other lapped it up.
Who the hell made her the master!
This woman here, master!!
F*ckers.
With Si Jin’s “dog nose”, Qi Qingyao went around the mountains two more times. Only when the sky began to darken did she decide they should go home. After tallying their bounty, Qi Qingyao carried the bamboo basket on her back and said, “The sky’s getting dark soon, we should hurry down the mountain.”
Jiang Yeqian watched her carry the basket expressionlessly. He was pissed but he still grabbed the basket from her back and held it in his hand.
Qi Qingyao asked warily, “What are you doing? Are you trying to steal my things?”
“I’m helping you carry them, you dumb*ss!” Jiang Yeqian finally lost it and cussed.
Qi Qingyao hummed thoughtfully.
Then, she passed the things to Jiang Yeqian.
They were supposed to be heading home, but after rounding the mountains a few times, they had already lost their way. Qi Qingyao observed the foggy forest, stupefied. Where were they supposed to go?
Qi Qingyao sighed, “Are we going to end up staying here tonight?”
“I’m here.” Although Jiang Yeqian had been annoyed out of his wits, he still patted her shoulder consolingly.
“Sister, I remember the way,” Si Jin said with a smile as he walked to the front.
Qi Qingyao hurriedly bounced to Si Jin’s side, extremely moved. “Oh Si Jin, you’re the best.”
Jiang Yeqian, “…”
What was so great about him? He was just a weird kid!
Qi Qingyao had initially thought Si Jin was just saying some empty words. However, by the time the sky had darkened, the three of them had indeed walked out of the mountain that looked like it could swallow a man whole. After they descended the mountain, they got onto a carriage without delay and rushed back to Baishui Town. By the time they returned to the inn, it was already two o’clock in the morning.
Jiang Yeqian and Si Jin were still feeling fine but Qi Qingyao’s body was drained of energy completely. Without even taking her meal, she put down her things, climbed into her bed, and hugged her three children to sleep.
Next door.
When Jiang Yeqian entered the room, he had initially planned to order supper and have a good talk with Si Jin about what happened today.
However, it seemed supper had not arrived.
“I’m going to the thatched hut.”
Saying this, Si Jin promptly left out the door and went downstairs.
By the time Jiang Yeqian returned to his senses and rushed out the door to pursue him, he could not find Si Jin in any of the thatched huts.
Jiang Yeqian realized that the f*cking boy had once again slithered away.
He had never been sleeping in the room every night, always disappearing!
Jiang Yeqian was quite annoyed. He smacked his palm against the wall outside of the back door. A handprint was imprinted on the tough wall from the forceful smack. He plucked a leaf casually and blew into it. It produced a strange rhythm, like the chirping of birds, but it was also different. Three short notes, then one long one, a pause, and another three long notes before ending with two short ones.
A moment later, a woman in black appeared before him in an instant like a ghost.
She got down on her knees
“Your Excellency.”
“I want you to look into someone for me.”
