Imperial Treasure

Chapter 668 - 429: The Room

"By the way, Su Zimu..." Gong Jiu knew that Su Zimu seemed to have a good relationship with Sui Yi, so...

"Miss Su, what is your opinion? You can choose to stay with me"

Who wouldn’t want to sleep with Yue Beiqing... Ah, that’s not what I mean, it’s mainly because of his extraordinary abilities...

Su Zimu smiled slightly, looked up at the staircase, and said, "I think the rooms here should be big enough."

Yue Beiqing seemed to understand, his eyes twinkled, and he smiled, "Alright, you stay with Sui Yi then... Seniors and juniors should take good care of each other, and as for the rooms..."

"The size of the room isn’t the key issue; it’s the size of the bed that matters, right?" Gong Jiu, who was nonchalantly eating a pancake, said before feeling the atmosphere quiet down and then turned to see Sui Yi’s cool gaze.

She quickly stuffed the unfinished pancake in her mouth, swallowed it, and then fluidly called out, "Ah Yi~~ I was wrong... I’ll sleep on the floor!"

Sui Yi: "... " She didn’t say anything, right~~

Pu Qinghan tugged at the corner of her mouth. From the moment these two appeared here, she went from surprised to worried, then reassured, and now... she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Perhaps a bit envious too.

"... The bed is not small, but it might be a bit difficult for four people. Miss Gong Jiu, if you’re willing to stoop to sleeping on the floor, that would be for the best. The rest will pair up three to a room, here are the arrangements, you can all take a look... Naturally, you can also choose to stay four or five together."

When it came to the lodging arrangements, their choice was not insignificant. Gong Jiu thought Yue Beiqing and his people would be more forceful...

Like with Sui Yi and the others, it was a match that aligned with their wishes.

Sui Yi had exceptional eyesight and casually glanced at the list in Yue Beiqing’s hand from the window and saw the lodging arrangements of these people.

—There was even a floor plan specially drawn on it.

The villa was huge, with a total of eight rooms.

If you started from the room at the corner of the street and counted from left to right, this is how you could understand their room assignments (the final result).

Room One: Zhong Buli, Nie Guiwan.

Room Two: Fu Ling, Lin Junyun, Ming Lanyuan.

Room Three: Sui Yi, Gong Jiu, Su Zimu, Pu Qinghan.

Room Four: Yue Beiqing, Li Cuiyu, Cao Ling.

Room Five: Xiao Xianting, Cao Yu, Zhuang Ziliu.

Room Six: Zheng Wen, Duan Rong, Zheng Yu.

Room Seven: Wen Xiukai, Han Feng, Shen Que.

Room Eight: Old Master.

That was the final arrangement. It’s worth mentioning that the people under Yue Beiqing, except for Ming Lanyuan who was elsewhere, had no rooms. They operated on a patrolling shift system and could sleep and guard anywhere.

But both Ah Guna and Fu Ling’s bodyguards, like those of the others, only stood guard at The Gate.

"I’ve heard Old Master’s bodyguard is called Long Yi, and Fu Ling’s bodyguard is called Wang Wu. I always feel they have something going on," Gong Jiu mentioned as they went upstairs.

Sui Yi asked lightly, "Long Yi and Wang Wu?"

Gong Jiu: "..."

Darling, must you render me speechless?!

Pu Qinghan and Su Zimu couldn’t help laughing out loud.

"I’m more curious about why Old Master is not on the list of thirteen people. Why is he here?" Sui Yi said as she opened the door.

Their room was Room Three, located in the eastern corner on the left side.

"When did he arrive?" Gong Jiu asked Pu Qinghan.

The latter thought about it and said, "Yesterday afternoon, then Fu Ling came later... According to Yue Beiqing, it seems... both of them are also in danger"

"Then why isn’t there... under the chair?" Gong Jiu speculated on Old Master’s situation following the information provided earlier by Yue Beiqing and others.

"The fourth kind of person," Su Zimu suddenly said.

"The fourth kind, the informed. He might know something, perhaps something advantageous to Yue Beiqing and the others, brought here out of a protective instinct..."

Su Zimu’s remarks darkened Sui Yi’s eyes.

Soon, none of them spoke of the topic again, and they each started organizing their luggage. It seemed like they would have to stay here for at least a day or two... or maybe it would be a long-term battle.

In theory, among the four of them, they were not familiar with each other. The sole link was Sui Yi, but apart from Sui Yi and Gong Jiu who were truly close friends, whether it was Sui Yi’s relationship with Su Zimu or with Pu Qinghan, they were more like distant acquaintances. They couldn’t be considered very close, nor were they entirely open-hearted. They simply had immense appreciation for each other and were thus more cordial, giving the impression of being very good friends at first glance.

Of course, if one of them was Sui Yi, this closeness came with a lot more restraint and conservatism, and even with her and Gong Jiu, you wouldn’t see the kind of hand-holding, hugging, or even more intimate actions typical among best friends...
