“No rush, when I’m well, I’ll give it to him myself,” Tong Sanlang said.

“Okay.”

Thinking it over, Qiao Xiaomai then asked, “Then you’re saying… your master Deng Chun knows about the space, right?”

Tong Sanlang recalled the time he had gone to find Deng Chun and pursed his lips, “He definitely knows.”

“Now that the space is unsealed, do we need to tell him about it?” Qiao Xiaomai asked again.

“No, let’s not tell him for now. If we do, it would be like revealing your secret,” he replied.

Once, he had thought about telling Deng Chun Qiao Xiaomai’s secret, and she had gotten somewhat angry when she found out.

He still remembered that incident.

Besides, it really wasn’t anything urgent. Liuli indeed left behind an Explosive Recipe and a drop of Divine Liquid, but at the moment, neither he nor Qiao Xiaomai had any use for them.

They would wait for a suitable moment to discuss it.

“Don’t you trust him a lot? And besides, he has even witnessed Liuli’s superpower; I’m not special in any way in front of him,” she continued.

“But we don’t know whether the master is aware of Liuli’s origins. Just in case Liuli claimed she was a fairy reincarnate who descended to overcome trials, we would not be able to sustain such a story. Less trouble is better than more. Let’s wait until it’s really necessary,” he persuaded.

The fewer people who knew Qiao Xiaomai’s secret, the better.

After thinking it over, Qiao Xiaomai nodded, “All right, I’ll listen to you.”

So, until noon, Qiao Xiaomai was flipping through the stack of books left by Liuli.

Coming to noon without having discovered anything, she collected all the books into the space and went to the Guest House to make lunch for Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao.

Yang Wenxiao’s sled still didn’t have a discernible shape, but judging by his expression, he seemed quite satisfied and confident in his design.

Qiao Xiaomai looked at him, her heart inexplicably filled with a hint of pity.

But then, thinking about Tong Sanlang’s words that a lifetime of deception could be the truth, she felt at ease again.

Let Yang Wenxiao continue dreaming; let Liuli live forever untarnished in his dreams.

After preparing lunch, she returned to Mai Yuan.

Hastily having some food, she continued to sift through the pile of books left by Liuli.

An afternoon passed with no findings.

“If what I’m guessing is true, and Liuli used this pile of books as toilet paper, then she wouldn’t have thrown such a valuable recipe amidst them, would she?” she looked at Tong Sanlang.

Tong Sanlang nodded, “Of course not, she wouldn’t hide something so important among scrap paper.”

On hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai lamented, “Then we were overthinking it before.”

An entire afternoon had been wasted.

“Not a waste, at the very least we’ve confirmed that what we need isn’t in that pile of books,” Tong Sanlang consoled her.

“Right, Liuli said she brought sweet potatoes, so could you check carefully to see if there’s cotton in the space?”

Even though there were heated brick beds now, a person can’t always remain motionless atop one.

Therefore, the importance of cotton hadn’t decreased at all.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai quickly agreed, “Okay.”

She once again immersed her consciousness into the space, meticulously searching for any sign of cotton.

But finding cotton wasn’t so easy. Qiao Xiaomai turned over Liuli’s belongings, even those blood-stained garments weren’t spared, yet after a thorough search, she found nothing.

Tong Sanlang wasn’t particularly disappointed by this. If there had been cotton, surely Liuli, considering her own comfort, would have taken it out already.

“Never mind, let’s not force it. Having a stash of explosives is already a pleasant surprise,” he said.

Formerly feeling like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of the Yang Family, they suddenly had the capability to defend themselves. Moreover, they now understood the significance of doing good deeds for the space, which was quite good.

One should not be too greedy.
