When Lou Qingwu came back to the second floor, she didnât see Feng Yege.
She only saw Feng Shier hold two rectangular boxes as he waited.
When he saw Lou Qingwu, he immediately stepped forward and explained, âMiss, master had some business with gentleman Li so these were things that master told this subordinate to prepare for you. If thereâs anything, please tell me or the other twelve, we wait to serve.â
Lou Qingwu shook her head, âThereâs no need right now. You guys can first go back to the residence and I can go back by myself.â
These two boxes probably contained the painting as well as the Youli sword.
The earlier she pa.s.sed it to Xiahou Ruiâs hands, the higher her chances of winning were.
âBut could you first get us two male outfits?â
âAh?â Feng Shier froze.
He then immediately nodded, âYes, Shier will immediately go now.â
He turned around and left but quickly came back to the side wing, holding a tray in his hands.
The tray held two neatly folded male otufits, both in a warm white.
The material was soft, top cla.s.s silk and because of the simple style, looked low key.
However, those who knew their materials, would instantly know that the silk was first rate.
Lan Bai stepped forward to take it as Feng Shier and Feng Shiyi stepped backwards.
But when Feng Shiyi went to close the door, he couldnât help but take another look at them.
When their figures disappeared completely, only then did Lou Qingwu pick up an outfit for Lan Bai.
âYou should change too.â
âEn?â Lan Bai froze.
âI have to change too?â
âYes, Iâm going to take you to see a person and it wonât be suitable if we wore female clothing.â
Sheâs supposed to be meditating at a Buddhist temple so if she wore female clothing and appeared at the capital, sheâd probably end up provoking a headache in the case that someone saw her.
At this point in time, itâd be best for her to avoid as much trouble as possible and furthermore, there were still dangerous things that she hadnât resolved yet.
Ruan Zhen definitely would be crazily angry at how she personally schemed that affair at her fatherâs banquet, so she was afraid that she definitely wouldnât let her go.
According to Ruan Zhenâs schemes and mind, she wouldnât strike clearly but instead, in the dark.
Lan Bai took the clothes and when her hands touched the silk, her eyes swayed a bit.
Her eyes carelessly fell on the box, her eyes becoming even more complicated ⊠why did she believe in her so much?
From the inlaid sapphires on the box, she could see how expensive the contents must be.
But master wanted to see a person, so heâd probably be very important too.
Theyâd only seen each other once, so wasnât she afraid that she was a spy?
A spy that had purposely come here to meet her?
Lou Qingwu was deep in her own thoughts, thinking about how to best meet up with Xiahou Rui so when she saw Lan Bai dazed and looking at the outfits, she couldnât help but rub her head.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Lan Bai shook her head and opened her mouth, about to speak.
She hesitated a few times but couldnât help but ask what sheâd been thinking about.
Lou Qingwu froze before her mouth corners immediately curled up, âSilly, donât question the people you use and donât use people you question. If Iâve already bought you, I obviously believe in you.â
She couldnât say that she knew her in her past life time and in the end, died for her.
So how could she question Lan Bai?
But she couldnât say.
Even if she did say, no one would believe her.
Something in Lan Baiâs eyes flashed evasively before gripping the clothes close to her chest.
âMaster, donât worry. I wonât betray you.â
The warmth in Lou Qingwuâs eyes grew deeper, âYes, I believe you.â
How could she not believe her.
After the two people changed into the outfits, they left the underground market and came outside to the carriage that Feng Yege had prepared earlier for them.

TL note:
This t.i.tle is actually an idiom which kinda means what goes around comes around, that there will always be retribution for everything, good or bad.
Normally when characters make promises like âIâll never betray youâ and âIâll only love you for the rest of my lifeâ, itâs foreshadowing of the opposite.
LQW only knew Lan Bai after sheâd experienced all her difficulties which made her into the person she was in her last lifetime, but thatâs not who she is in this lifetime. Fingers crossed LQW doesnât regret this in the future~
