Chapter 3: 第103章 奇葩任务

The two of them froze in terror, walking slowly toward Qin Hanxue with expressions of confusion and trembling.

"Sit." Qin Hanxue maintained her dignified and elegant smile. She cast an indifferent glance at the stools before her, appearing to notice they were somewhat dirty. She leaned forward...

Picking up a rag resting to the side, she gently wiped the dust off them for the two...

Qing Han and Lv Xin were overwhelmed with shock, feeling quite strongly that... the Young Lady hadn't taken her medicine before coming out today, had she?!!!

"Yo-Young Lady, please stop wiping, okay?...If there is something you want, just say it. Lv Xin will go through fire and water without hesitation... I only beg you to stop wiping!"

If she kept wiping like this, someone was going to die.

Qin Hanxue stopped her hand and slowly sat back in her seat. Wearing a kind and amiable smile, she stared intently at the two of them.

With every passing second, their hearts skipped a beat. Would you believe that this atmosphere could actually suffocate a person to death?!

Poor Qing Han and Lv Xin stood there, not daring to move an inch...

After a long while, perhaps having grown tired of looking, Qin Hanxue picked up a cup, poured some tea, took a sip, and then said, "Speak. Your master wants you to stay by my side; what kind of benefit is he trying to reap?"

Qing Han cast a wary glance at Lv Xin, and Lv Xin likewise looked at Qing Han.

The latter composed her expression, no longer intending to hide anything; she had naturally guessed that Xin'er had already told the Young Lady.

"Young Lady, you already know..."

Qin Hanxue blinked, signaling that she indeed knew. "What did Feng Qianqing send you here for?"

"To investigate the events of twenty years ago..." Lv Xin said, her voice wavering.

"And now? Hasn't he already learned about what happened twenty years ago? Why does he still keep you by my side?" Qin Hanxue asked with patience.

Lv Xin stammered for a long time without being able to make sense of it. "Yo-Young Lady, this, please don't ask about this... Anyway, as long as the Lord has no ill intentions, it's fine..."

"Heh, you and Xin'er are so close; how am I to know if you and Xin'er have ill intentions just because Feng Qianqing doesn't?...As for Feng Qianqing's true purpose, you'd better not say you don't know," Qin Hanxue sneered.

Lv Xin tried to find a middle ground and spoke truthfully, "...It's not that. I know, but the Lord himself doesn't know..."

"What do you mean?" Qin Hanxue raised an eyebrow, her expression darkening.

What do you mean... what do you mean... it means you two are both idiots when it comes to love...

"It's better if you don't ask me..." Lv Xin waved her hands, then paused. "I think once the Lord thinks it through himself one day, he will tell you, Young Lady..."

Qin Hanxue did not intend to dwell on this and instead turned to ask Qing Han. Lv Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief...

"How much longer does Chen Qimo intend to have you stay?" Qin Hanxue asked with a teasing look.

Qing Han was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly smiled. "Young Lady, Qing Han indeed does not know how long the Master intends to keep me, but I think the reason for keeping me is likely the same as the reason for keeping Lv Xin..."

After saying this, she gave Lv Xin a look while stifling a laugh, and the latter did the same to her...

Qin Hanxue pressed a hand to her forehead. Fine, let it be... However, "From now on, I must know everything you and your master discuss. If you can do this, I will keep you; if not, you can get lost right now."

"Young Lady, rest assured, we can do it!"

Reporting their Young Lady's geographical location, personnel, diet, and daily life at any time and place—this was now the top priority for them as elite spies.
