When Luo Fan returned to the residence, Mo Yuling and Ai Si were still awake.
An Xiaoran sat beneath the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, holding a book.
Seeing Luo Fan return, she looked up at him, then set down her book and walked over to him.
"How did it go?" Mo Yuling asked, leaning against the doorframe.
Luo Fan walked over and sat on a stone stool. He shook his head somewhat helplessly and said, "I was discovered."
Mo Yuling frowned. "You alerted them? Finding the Innate Yang Steel will be even harder now."
Luo Fan shook his head. "No, I bluffed my way out. The City Lord didn't suspect anything."
Mo Yuling froze for a moment.
He had been caught red-handed sneaking into the City Lord's Manor at night, and he had still managed to bluff his way out?
She looked at Luo Fan, her eyes full of confusion. "How did you manage that?"
Luo Fan smiled and briefly recounted what had happened with digging up the Void Spirit Jade.
After listening, Mo Yuling fell silent for a moment, then shook her head. "You really are something. How did you secretly bury that Void Spirit Jade right under the City Lord's nose?"
Luo Fan had no intention of explaining the true abilities of his Divinity in detail!
Just then, Ai Si came out of the house with a cup of tea in his hand. "What do we do next, then? You've already been to the City Lord's Manor. Getting in again won't be easy."
Luo Fan nodded.
He knew it would not be easy.
He had been lucky this time, with the Money Rat as an excuse and his Godhead Authority to fall back on.
What about next time? He could not go digging for Void Spirit Jade
