Lin Tian shook his head with a wry smile, "I’m not that lustful, okay..."

Chen Moxiang looked at him with a disdainful expression, silently saying: I think you’ve already reached that level.

"Don’t look at me like that. Remember what I told you before, brains over brawn?"

Chen Moxiang’s eyes widened instantly. "You really want to steal the medicine?"

"Don’t say it so harshly, it’s brains over brawn!"

"With the people from the Xu Family?"

"Yeah, because I can’t complete this kind of task alone."

"I think you’ve gone mad!"

Lin Tian scooted closer, sat next to Chen Moxiang, nudged her with his elbow, and asked with a smile, "What do you think? Are you interested? There’s Elixir of Immortality in there~"

"When do we take action?"

Lin Tian’s eyes lit up. If Chen Moxiang joined, the chances of success would increase by half, right?

"Tomorrow night!" Lin Tian replied without hesitation.

"Sorry, I’m not interested." After speaking, Chen Moxiang stood up from the chair, and as she walked to the balcony, she looked back at Lin Tian, brewed for a few seconds, and said, "I’ve already told you about the dangers of the Xu Family, be careful yourself."

As soon as she finished, Chen Moxiang leapt off the balcony and dove back into the night.

Lin Tian stared at the empty balcony, lost in thought.

Previously, he just thought the Xu Family’s cultivation techniques were a bit peculiar. After Chen Moxiang’s words, he couldn’t help but be more cautious.

Coupled with the cunning side he witnessed after spending the past few days with the Xu Family, Lin Tian became even more vigilant.

Knock knock~

Just then, Lin Tian’s room door was knocked on.

Lin Tian was momentarily startled, then shouted towards the door, "Come in, the door’s not locked."

Squeak~

The door was pushed open, and when Lin Tian looked carefully, it was Miaoqiu.

This woman seemed to really like red. A loose red robe covered her breathtakingly beautiful figure, with scented shoulders exposed to the air, paired with a red fox fur shawl.

A single wink and she was all seductive.

Seeing this woman, a bed flashed in Lin Tian’s mind!

A big, soft, fragrant mattress, throwing this woman hard onto the bed, and then...

"You heard our conversation just now, right?" Lin Tian asked, suppressing his inner evil fire. He felt he had a kind of...

Miaoqiu gave a charming smile, wiggled her slender waist, and walked over. With each step, her long, evenly proportioned legs revealed a glimpse from under the red robe.

That ’half-concealed beauty’ posture made Lin Tian almost lose control of the beast within.

He swallowed hard, increasingly convinced of Chen Moxiang’s words!

This Xu Family is really too dangerous! One could lose oneself at any moment!

"I heard it."

While speaking, Miaoqiu leaned her body against Lin Tian, crossed her legs, and sat where Chen Moxiang had previously sat.

"The sound coming from your room was so loud, it was hard not to hear. Initially, I thought you were doing something shameful with a vixen, but it turns out you were badmouthing our Xu Family."

After speaking, Miaoqiu suddenly noticed that Lin Tian’s lascivious gaze lingered on her smooth legs. She raised her brows slightly and asked softly, "Do you like what you see?"

"Good..." Before he could finish the word, Lin Tian noticed Miaoqiu’s strange look, and he was scared enough to shake his head repeatedly, hurriedly correcting himself, "Not nice!"

"Hee hee hee..." Miaoqiu laughed back and forth, then repositioned her white legs, lifting the red robe a bit, laughed and said, "This isn’t the Liou Family villa, you can look as much as you like here. But of course, you can’t just touch."

Can’t touch at will? Then how can I touch?

"Hey, the woman in your room earlier, that’s the one who was flirting with you in the hall today, right? You’re bold enough to date a woman from the Security Management Institute, quite capable."

"You misunderstood, we’re just ordinary friends."

"Alright, alright, ordinary friends. But what she said seemed quite reasonable, our Xu Family does seem quite dangerous."

Lin Tian nodded seriously, "I think so too."

"Don’t you want to ask anything? For example..."

Before she could finish, Lin Tian shook his head and said, "It’s okay if you don’t want to talk. I don’t want to get involved in your family’s mysterious matters. I only hope that nothing goes wrong tomorrow night."

"You can rest assured about that, tomorrow we will give our utmost as it concerns our entire Xu Family."

"That’s good. Oh, by the way, did we agree earlier that you only want the two herbs you need? The rest will be mine," Lin Tian chuckled.

"That’s right, I did say that." Miaoqiu nodded, then smiled and asked, "So, how much do you want to steal?"

Lin Tian laughed, "You don’t need to worry about that, just make sure you keep your word. Otherwise, if the Xu Family reneges, I’d really be no match for you lot."

"I advise you to steal less, while there are many herbs in that storage, grabbing a few won’t be noticed. But if the amount is too large, it will definitely be noticed by the Alliance. ’Foxy words’ is a big array, and as long as someone is intent, it’s easy to be discovered. By then, you probably won’t get away either."

Miaoqiu’s expression was serious, as this concerned her entire family.

Long ago, their ancestor had manipulated all the young generation of aristocratic families, creating a lot of discord. If such a thing were discovered again, no one would tolerate them anymore.

Lin Tian hadn’t thought about what Miaoqiu said before, but thinking about it now, it made sense.

If he stole too much, no family would let them go.

Fortunately, he hadn’t promised Zhang Zhixing anything earlier.

"Then maybe I’ll steal twenty stalks at most?"

"Too many!"

"Nineteen?"

"Does it make a difference?"

"Yeah, one less and I’d feel the loss for days."

"..."

"That herb vault is so huge; subtracting a few dozen stalks, they won’t be noticed immediately, right?" Lin Tian asked.

Miaoqiu took a deep breath, patiently replying, "Do you think everyone in the Alliance is an idiot?"

"Then what do you say?"

"You think it’s a vegetable market, bargaining is possible? Steal at most five stalks! Three of those are yours—isn’t that enough?" Miaoqiu felt helpless towards this guy.

Lin Tian smacked his lips, "Really stingy, five stalks it is."

"..."

Miaoqiu was speechless, she had just felt like flirting with Lin Tian, but now that feeling was completely gone.

Miaoqiu stood up and said, "Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first, goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Lin Tian watched as Miaoqiu left the room, and his gloominess lifted. No matter how mysterious or dangerous the Xu Family was, as long as they didn’t betray him tomorrow, it didn’t matter.
