A Lively Night

Tao Yuan nodded. "Okay, Wang Ding, Bai Ao, Tang Pin, let's go to the Garden outside and see if we can find where the Eldest Miss buried her body. Let's try to get the body out and see how these strange creatures react."

"Okay."

"Clear."

Seeing that no one mentioned him, Bai Yang was happy to have some peace and quiet and decided not to go anywhere but to rest in the hall.

Qin Rang saw through his thoughts at a glance and smiled as he leaned closer, "I suddenly remembered that my Weird Object can't be used anymore, and I'm a little scared to be alone. Bai Yang, why don't you come with me?"

Bai Yang raised his hand to block Qin Rang, refusing. "It's not appropriate for me, a guest from out of town."

"Suitable? Why not?" Qin Rang laughed, removed his hand, grabbed his arm, and dragged him away.

"Let's go, let's go take a look."

Bai Yang leaned back. "Fine, let's go! Don't hold me back! Little Bear, kick him!"

Watching the two figures walking away, chatting and laughing, Tao Yuan and the others exchanged smiles and said, "Let's go outside and take a look too."

Qin Rang and Bai Yang arrived at the Corridor and found the corner of the stairs. The Young Master's room was dark, the door was open, and there was no one in the room.

Qin Rang whispered, "Didn't they say they were going to rest? Where are they?"

Bai Yang glanced outside. The Little Mouse Doll hopped over and gestured a couple of times. Bai Yang nodded and said to Qin Rang, "My Doll knows where he is."

The two followed the Little Mouse Doll all the way in until they saw a faint light ahead, at which point they stopped.

Fearing discovery, the two stopped a distance away. From there, their conversation could only be faintly heard, but the content of their words was completely incomprehensible.

Qin Rang took out a pair of earphones, gave one to Bai Yang, and made a shushing gesture.

This headset can not only be muted, but also used for radio reception; they often use this radio function to eavesdrop.

The only Rules is that when you're eavesdropping... no, when you're recording, you have to stay quiet, otherwise your headphones will turn into speakers and play their voices back.

The sounds inside the room were clearly transmitted to their ears through the headphones.

"Young Master, the Eldest Young Master has gone too far. How can he blame everything Darren did on you?"

"That Darren has ulterior motives. He's always either trying to please the Eldest Miss or seducing the Eldest Young Master, and he's even trying to mess with the Young Master. We can't let the Young Master be led astray by him."

He chuckled and said, "It's alright, Mr. Butler. Darren is dead, isn't he? This won't happen again."

"But I'm afraid... afraid that the Eldest Young Master will blame you if he finds out about his death."

"I didn't kill anyone. Even if he investigates, what do I have to be afraid of? I just told Darren about the Eldest Miss's location. I was helping him."

"Come to think of it, even if there were suspicions, my older brother wouldn't suspect me first. It seems more likely that my Eldest Sister would do something like this."

The Butler said, "Eldest Young Master doesn't know that Darren is dead."

"There are too many bodies buried in the Garden; my elder brother won't go looking for them," Wang said. "Some things can only be dealt with after Mother and Father return."

"Oh dear, Young Master, I've noticed the new guests have been loitering around the Castle all day, asking the servants a lot of questions about things Castle. They seem to have ulterior motives. Should I send someone to keep an eye on them?"

"Really? Since they're so keen on prying into things inside the Castle..." Wang paused, his voice carrying a hint of coldness, as he spoke to the two of them, "Do you think they might be eavesdropping outside right now?"

Nobles owned more than one Castle. The largest Castle served as the main hall, while other smaller Castles were located in other areas. Most of these castles were the domain of the Counts and Countess.

Only the most favored Eldest Young Masters and Eldest Miss had the right to use a small portion of the other Castles.

The vast Gardens are actually located within the area surrounded by these Castles, covering a large and expansive area, and ensuring that the Garden views can be seen from the windows of each Castle.

As soon as Tao Yuan and his companions arrived at the Garden entrance, they were startled by the messy state of the Garden.

In the Garden, the once beautifully manicured flowerbeds are now scattered here and there, with broken branches hanging forlornly from the roots, and some petals scattered all over the ground, with leaves and petals buried together in the soil.

The once smooth, muddy ground was now covered with fresh claw marks, as if a major battle had just taken place here.

Following the trail, they came to a broken wooden barrel with a large hole in the bottom, splinters of wood flying everywhere.

"They've had a tough time." Tao Yuan clicked his tongue and shook his head, knowing from the scene what the two had gone through outside.

"... Weren't they supposed to be outside? Why haven't I seen them?" Tang Pin looked around.

"They probably... completed their mission? Or perhaps they've gone into hiding?" Tao Yuan wondered.

"Look, the soil here isn't right." As they walked, Wang Ding suddenly squatted down and pointed to a patch of soil.

"There must be corpses buried down there. You guys dig around here first, I'll go find them," Tao Yuan said.

"No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'll go with you." Tang Pin stood up.

Wang Ding nodded. "You all together, Bai Ao and I are enough."

"Good."

Tao Yuan and Tang Pin continued walking along the Garden, while Wang Ding and the other person began digging a pit.

As the Bai Ao squatted on the ground, digging in the dirt with the Shovel Wang Ding had brought, it muttered to itself, "Why do I always have to do this kind of work when I'm with you?"

Wang Ding asked, "What's wrong? Are you being treated unfairly by doing these chores?"

"No, it's just that it doesn't look very good," said the Bai Ao. It was completely different from the battle he had imagined.

Wang Ding glanced at him several times, then pushed up his glasses. "If you could dig the dirt elegantly, that would be a real skill."

The Bai Ao was enlightened. "... You're right!"

[Haha, this young master of the Bai Family is going to be completely fooled by Wang Ding. How can he believe everything he hears?]

[Perhaps Wang Ding really thinks that way?]

Don't bully us honest people, Wang Ding isn't like that.

[This is hilarious! Are all members of the Bai Family like this?]

[By the way, have you guys watched An Ying's live stream? It was so exciting!]

I just saw him being chased by the cat, what happened?

[Oh, what a coincidence, you were looking at something from ten minutes ago...]

Ten minutes ago, the Cat Boy must have gotten tired of running; all his extra clones disappeared, and he stopped chasing people by the water.

An Ying and Sheng Qingqiao were pale from running, their legs felt like limp noodles and they couldn't straighten them.

But An Ying didn't feel too frustrated, because after running so many laps around the Garden, he had not only completed his task as the gardener, but he had also completed it terribly.

There are no more superfluous branches in the Garden, not even any good ones.

This counts as completing the task; his task didn't say he couldn't cut more.
