"I have a cellar in my house that no one knows about except . You can hide there now, so they won’t find you," Youlan said calmly.
Chen Chun asked indecisively, "Officer, can we trust what Youlan is saying?"
"You wanted to help you get back outside earlier, and now you don’t even trust with this?" Youlan teased, "Then how do you know everything else I’ve told you is true?"
Everyone fell silent for a mont.
In this world, the hardest thing to judge is a person’s words.
Truth and lies, right and wrong.
Suddenly, Qin Yuesheng’s eyes lit up as he rembered sothing he almost overlooked.
He hadn’t chosen his charisma ability yet!
At the ti, he found it difficult to choose between the blue ability ’The Light of Leadership’ and the purple ability ’Dreams of a Past Life’, as both were highly useful in different ways. Conflicted, he decided to wait until he was certain.
But in this current situation, ’Dreams of a Past Life’ was going to be incredibly helpful.
Without hesitation, Qin Yuesheng directly selected his charisma ability on the super assistant tool.
Instantly, Youlan’s gaze towards Qin Yuesheng changed sharply; clearly, ’Dreams of a Past Life’ had started to work on her.
Qin Yuesheng stared into her eyes seriously and said, "Open the cellar and let us in."
...
As Youlan opened the door, nurous girls of varying ages rushed in from outside.
"Sister Youlan."
"Hello, Sister Youlan."
"Sister Youlan, have you seen any n?"
"Hello, Sister Youlan. Sorry for the disturbance."
Youlan looked at these won with a calm expression, "What’s going on? You all look so flustered."
A plump woman laughed loudly, "n from Changi Palace and a few other palaces have gone missing. Everyone’s searching the entire city. Whoever finds them gets them. Youlan, have you found anything?"
Youlan shook her head, "I’ve been writing the whole ti, I’m not really aware."
The other nodded knowingly, "That’s what I figured."
Soon, the won searched the entire residence thoroughly and, after confirming there were no n hiding inside, cheerfully greeted Youlan and dashed out of her place to search elsewhere.
Watching the last person leave, Youlan slowly closed the door, turned directly to the kitchen, and moved the iron pot embedded in the stove aside, revealing a large hole beneath it.
"They’ve all left. You can co out now."
Qin Yuesheng was the first to leap out from below, vigorously dusting off the layer of white dust covering him, "How long has it been since you cleaned up down there? It’s so dusty it’s almost buried my shoes."
Upon hearing this, Youlan’s face showed a hint of nostalgia, "It’s been a long ti, I hadn’t realized how long."
"Huh?" Qin Yuesheng was puzzled.
Youlan reverted to her previous cold deanor, "You all should rest well. Tonight, when the night is deep, I will take you to that underground palace."
Qin Yuesheng clasped his hands in gratitude, "Thank you, Miss Youlan."
Youlan gave him a playful look before leaving.
Qin Yuesheng, baffled, brushed the dust off his arms, "Is there anything wrong with calling her Miss Youlan? Surely I can’t call her Sister Youlan too."
Covered in dirt, Xuerong jumped down from the stove and approached Qin Yuesheng, "Sister Youlan is already over eighty years old this year; you indeed shouldn’t call her ’miss’."
"What? This woman is over eighty?!"
Qin Yuesheng was shocked, unable to believe it.
