When Yu Hanjiang returned, he saw Xiao Lou anxiously pacing back and forth in the yard.
Xiao Lou had woken up in the middle of the night to find that Yu Hanjiang wasn’t around and had gone out to look. As a result, Group Leader Yu was gone. He was so anxious that he couldn’t speak well. His face was pale and his eyes were full of tension.
Yu Hanjiang immediately walked over, took off his cloak and draped it around Xiao Lou’s shoulder, whispering, “Why did you get up? It is currently autumn in Jiangzhou and it is cold at you. You should wear more clothes when going out.”
Xiao Lou was relieved to see the other person and his face relaxed a lot. He smiled and explained, “I was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night and came out to find you. As a result, I couldn’t find you anywhere and I thought something had happened to you…”
Yu Hanjiang gently hugged Xiao Lou’s shoulder and helped him fasten the cloak while speaking softly, “Don’t worry, I’m okay. I was also awakened by a dream and went to talk to Brother Jiu.”
The advantage of the Absolute Field card was that there were no limits in secret rooms. As long as Yu Hanjiang entered, Lu Jiuchuan could sense him and the brothers could meet at any time across secret rooms.
Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan grew up together and had deep feelings. If Yu Hanjiang got into trouble as a child, he was embarrassed to tell his elders but he was willing to tell his older brother. Lu Jiuchuan would joke with him and give him some suggestions. Therefore, after realizing that he liked Xiao Lou, the first thing he thought about was to consult Brother Jiu and see if this person had any suggestions.
—Cherish the present.
Lu Jiuchuan had experienced annihilation in J of Clubs and struggled to come out of the nightmare room. His words left an impression on Yu Hanjiang. No one could guarantee what would happen next, no one could predict the future. What ha could do was ‘cherish the person in front of him. As long as he lived and cherished every day with Xiao Lou, there was no need to think too much.
Thinking of this, Yu Hanjiang’s gaze toward Xiao Lou became gentler. “Are you cold?”
Xiao Lou smiled and shook his head. “I’m fine. By the way, what did Brother Jiu say?”
“He said that their secret room was a court script involving the prince’s usurping and the plot was very complicated. However, there is no reference value. We aren’t in the same world at all.”
“It seems we can only rely on ourselves.”
Seeing Yu Hanjiang’s calm expression and remembering the dream just now, the plot of the wedding room once again appeared in Xiao Lou’s mind. Xiao Lou’s heart was beating like a drum but he pretended to be calm. “I want to tell you something but I can’t let other people hear it.”
Yu Hanjiang nodded.
The next moment, Xiao Lou summoned Qin Guan and they connected with the heart channel.
Qin Guan wore ancient clothing and him appearing in the ancient world didn’t show any disharmony. The ‘Heart has a Tacit Exchange of Romantic Feelings’ allowed them to spiritually connect and they could pass on their thoughts without moving their mouths. It was similar to the voice transmission in martial arts novels and could still be used in this world.
The two people sat under a tree and pretended to admire the moon while their spiritual worlds connected again.
Xiao Lou’s voice appeared in Yu Hanjiang’s mind. “I just dreamed a lot about the past and the entire setting became clear. I’m actually a man disguised as a woman in this world.”
Yu Hanjiang looked at him softly. “I also dreamed about this and it can explain a lot of doubts about this setting. For example, we have been married for four years and have no children. Moreover, the keeper wouldn’t let you change back to men’s clothing to cover up your true identity. Your father was in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and offended too many people who would become suspicious if you changed back to men’s clothing.”
Xiao Lou nodded in agreement. “I also dreamed of Liu Qiao. She is the apprentice of my mother and is now the owner of a medicine house outside Jiangzhou. Old Mo only looked at the medical centres in the city while Liu Qiao is outside the city. The fourth young lady of the prince’s mansion often goes to study medicine outside the city. Liu Qiao should have clues about the fourth young lady.”
Xiao Lou paused before adding, “In addition, I dreamed about the serial murder my father cracked at the Ministry of Criminal Affairs 10 years ago. There were eight people killed in a month in the capital. The result of the initial autopsy was a hanging suicide and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs also closed the cases as suicide. Later, my father detected a colourless and odorless powder from the diet of everyone who died and found it was highly toxic. This was characterized as murder. With the help of my father, the evidence left behind by the murderer was found. The Ministry of Criminal Affairs arrested the criminals but unfortunately, the principal person behind it had escaped by the time the net was closed.”
This was a memory unique to Xiao Lou and naturally Yu Hanjiang didn’t dream about it. Now he heard Xiao Lou’s story and couldn’t help frowning slightly. “Your memories are so detailed. Is this case in Jiangzhou also related to the murders in the capital that year?”
“I think so. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be necessary for these memories to be played back so clearly.”
Yu Hanjiang thought about it. “There are no dreams of other memories?”
Xiao Lou’s ears suddenly turned red and he lowered her head. “There are some, cough, past memories of you.” He quickly changed the topic. “Regarding my father, I only dreamed about the sensational capital murders but nothing else.”
Yu Hanjiang wondered in a low voice, “Then you didn’t dream about that candlelit night in the wedding room the night we got married?”
Xiao Lou, “………”
When would Group Leader Yu’s habit of throwing a straight ball change? How could he directly ask this type of question?! Xiao Lou was red-faced and tried to find excuses. “The wedding room… it is just a fake memory that didn’t really happen.”
Yu Hanjiang asked seriously, “I treated you like that in the dream, do you feel sick?”
Another straight ball was struck and Xiao Lou looked away awkwardly. “No. My dreams are very vague and I couldn’t see what happened. Cough, just regard it as a dream and don’t think about it.”
Yu Hanjiang touched his nose and was too embarrassed to continue discussing the topic. Both people’s hearts were beating like a drum as they remained silent, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed over from the roof in the distance and the gentleness on Yu Hanjiang’s face was swept away. He suddenly stood up and frowned at the roof, his eyes as sharp as a sword as he shouted, “Who is it?!”
The dark shadow flew from the roof toward Yu Hanjiang like the wind. The sharp sword in his hand was detected instantly, the sharp point flashing with a dazzling light as it directly aimed at Yu Hanjiang!
Yu Hanjiang pushed Xiao Lou behind him and quickly took a few steps back.
Fortunately, he had practiced fighting techniques in real life and had rich experience in actual combat. His response to the attacks was extremely fast. His body seemed to have conditioned refl
