Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 485 - 63: Eldest Miss Li’s Tea Art Talent

A pair of siblings walked out of the clock shop, blonde and blue-eyed, their skin pale and their features so delicate they hardly seemed like normal people.

The sister was wearing the watch that the salesperson had just taken inside on her wrist.

The older brother walking in front was sporting a slicked-back blonde hairstyle like some tough guy, his gaze swept over Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu’s faces and the corners of his mouth twitched upwards slightly, revealing a trace of scornful mockery.

This expression was pretty subtle, but Wang Yunxiao had very good eyesight.

The message was clear—poor bastards, could only stand outside and look in.

If Li Mumu hadn’t been by his side, Wang Yunxiao would have felt a strong urge to pick up a brick and ask, "What are you looking at?"

Of course, this feeling of annoyance didn’t last long, as the other party didn’t do anything further and clearly didn’t see them as worth their attention, opening their umbrella and walking away without looking back.

Damn rich people, and foreigners at that!

"Their taste isn’t all that great anyway..."

Li Mumu suddenly spoke up.

???

Wang Yunxiao didn’t catch on right away. Was Eldest Miss Li finding a creative way to tell him not to take it to heart?

"That watch is second-hand, probably pawned and then put out for sale again. It’s not an antique with any collectible value. How could a real wealthy person buy second-hand goods?"

Li Mumu said casually.

"But didn’t you just take a liking to it..."

"I was thinking, just in case you couldn’t let go of your pride and really wanted to buy it for me, I could use that as a reason to haggle."

I can let it go!

Wang Yunxiao was speechless, feeling as though he had been teased by a woman.

But since it was Eldest Miss Li, let the teasing be; he could endure it.

"By the way, about your niece’s illness... have you tried checking it with the notebook?"

"I checked it once, but it didn’t show anything."

"Then this notebook is really useless."

"You can say that again."

Knowing there was a problem but the notebook couldn’t detect it was an issue in itself—it indicated that the other side was employing methods from the Twelve Laws.

If one has a sufficient understanding of the internal system of the Twelve Laws, then this drawback isn’t really a drawback.

But the problem is... Wang Yunxiao was a poor student.

Many of the key points Nurse Liu had taught in class went over his head, and he could only grasp them after experiencing things for himself.

Wang Yunxiao really wanted to invite Li Mumu to attend the classes; Eldest Miss Li looked like the kind of good student who could study well.

Unfortunately, not long after Li Mumu arrived, or rather, after she returned to normal, Nurse Liu took a leave and ran off.

Old Master He had come chasing after the Jade Seal, not bothering with any cover, blatantly moving into the Shen Family’s territory, renting a room. He would drink in the tavern during the day and go back to sleep at night, not at all avoiding the people of the Shen Family’s watchful eyes.

After handling Jin Buhuan’s affairs, the fat boss brought He Lan along to chase after him too, and it was said that he took over a shop on the street to continue selling his donkey meat sandwiches.

Wang Yunxiao couldn’t understand the way Old Master He operated at all.

Now that he knew it was the people of the Shen Family, wouldn’t he continue investigating the Shen Family?

Old Master He said, however, there was no rush, to play along with him.

When Wang Yunxiao arrived at the donkey meat restaurant taken over by the fat boss with Li Mumu, First Ms. Liu was just coming out with red-rimmed eyes, looking as if she had suffered a great deal of grievances.

Of course, it could also be an act.

"Junior Brother Wang..."

First Ms. Liu spotted Wang Yunxiao instantly and came over crying, "Please help me persuade your senior brother."

Wang Yunxiao asked, perplexed, "What’s wrong with my senior brother?"

"He won’t let Little Lanzi see me and even calls me a venomous woman... Heavens bear witness, I have raised his daughter for so many years only to be accused of spoiling her. I took care of her messes and nursed her while he just watched; now he picks faults with me, and Little Lanzi, that ungrateful girl, has a father and disowns her mother..."

The more tragically First Ms. Liu spoke, the more vigilant Wang Yunxiao became.

This woman’s acting skills were so masterful that her own daughter couldn’t see through her for over a decade.

Every word from her mouth could be considered a fart, not a single word could be trusted. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Moreover, Wang Yunxiao was somewhat unclear about her current identity.

When he first tracked down the Shen Family, Blind Su and First Ms. Liu had already fled with the Jade Seal.

Logically, with He Lan’s identity exposed, they should have harbored doubts about her, but the fact that she was still alive was incredibly suspicious.

In Wang Yunxiao’s view, the only way for First Ms. Liu to regain their trust was to convince them she could still control He Lan, to serve as a plant by Old Master He’s side.

But was that enough? In spy dramas set during the war against the Japanese, they wouldn’t believe you without solid evidence.

He didn’t understand, he could only say he was baffled by the operations of this family.

Of course, there was another possibility that he was part of the game and thus seeing things from the wrong angle.

Wang Yunxiao nodded cautiously and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, you’ve managed for over a decade, can’t you manage a little longer? Any misunderstanding can be slowly cleared up later."

First Ms. Liu patted Wang Yunxiao’s shoulder with a smile and said, "Junior Brother Wang, you really understand people, you can talk, not like that dead man. It’s no wonder Little Lanzi always talks about you."

While talking, she stole a glance at Li Mumu who stood behind Wang Yunxiao, "And this young lady is...?"

Wang Yunxiao kept a straight face and said, "This is Doctor Li, I’ve asked her to come and give He Lan a check-up."

"Oh, she’s a doctor? No wonder, no wonder, I was thinking she doesn’t seem like a common girl. It’s almost noon, you mustn’t leave, I’m going to arrange some food!"

That’s why they say First Ms. Liu trained in special work places; Wang Yunxiao truly felt inferior to her skill of speaking suitably to everyone she met.

Ordinarily, when people saw Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu together, most would ask if they were a couple... and the like. Especially those female soldiers from the outskirts, who would start joking without any taboos.

But First Ms. Liu was remarkable, despite being the most likely to make such comments, she didn’t lean towards that topic at all.

We’re all just talking big, but you wouldn’t really be considering marrying He Lan off to me, would you?

What made Wang Yunxiao’s scalp tingle even more was that Li Mumu had also sensed something was off and leaned in, whispering with a smile, "This auntie seems to be on guard against me, but her attitude towards you is quite good, as warm as family."

Wang Yunxiao said seriously, "Keep your distance from her, this woman is from the pleasure quarters, she’s not as simple as she appears."

"Oh..."

Li Mumu noncommittally nodded, "How did you introduce me just now? Doctor Li? Why so suddenly formal?"

"I didn’t want them to misunderstand; ordinary folks are shallow, they’ll show you more respect if they think you’re a doctor," Wang Yunxiao explained.

"So that’s how it is, I thought you were afraid your niece might misunderstand that you and I have some kind of close relationship," Li Mumu teased.
