Shen Li was shocked. Although he knew Shen Xing had a talent for martial arts, he didn't expect that he was so good. She was relieved and proud of him: "Sister Ye, do you know where my third brother lives?"

"I know. It's in a small alley in the city. So, you can stay here first. When your third brother comes back in a few days, I will take you to see him."

Shen Li didn't want to trouble her, and the Huanhai Sect was outside the city. It would be inconvenient for her to go into the city to sell the ointment. But Ye Muyu was right about one thing, it was indeed safe to live here.

"Sister Ye, the inn I'm staying in now is quite safe, so I won't bother you."

"What are you talking about? How can it be a bother? I'd love for you to live here. Besides, if your third brother knows that I let you stay at the inn, he will definitely blame me. So listen to me and stay here."

Having said this, Shen Li couldn't refuse anymore, but from her words, he could still tell that she and Shen Xing had a close relationship.

"Okay, sorry to bother Sister Ye then."

"Don't be so polite. I'll ask someone to clean up the room now."

In this way, Shen Li took Luo Qi and Cao Qin to live in Huanhai Sect. In the morning, she would take them to the city to sell ointment, and in the afternoon, she would take them back to Huanhai Sect.

But she did not check out of the room in the inn, because they could still go back there to rest at noon.

A few days passed like this, and to Shen Li's surprise, the sales of the ointment increased a little. She was not sure why, but she guessed that it might be because as the promotion had lasted for a long time, more people knew about it, so it sold better.

Whatever the reason is, it's a good thing for her.

On this day, Shen Li was selling ointment when she saw two people right in front of her stall. The atmosphere was tense and it seemed like a fight was about to break out. She was worried about whether she should close the stall first.

She had just filled half of the ointment when she saw the two people who were originally confronting each other actually parted ways?

Shen Li sighed, then silently took out the packaged ointments from the basket and placed them one by one. The person who originally wanted to buy something, who had been hiding aside, now came out and started asking again.

"Ali."

Shen Li had just sold a few boxes of ointment when she heard someone calling her. She looked up and shouted in surprise, "Third brother." Then she ran towards Shen Xing and wanted to hug him, but then she thought that they were on the street, and even if they were brother and sister, people would misunderstand if they saw them, so she stopped there.

Shen Xing looked at her like that and said with a smile: "You are so happy to see me, are you missing me?"

Shen Li nodded: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time. You were in Nanzhou and didn't even come home to visit. You were gone for such a long time. Third brother, you are so cruel."

"Hey? You said, don't think I don't know your situation because I didn't go back. You weren't home either, and now you come here again. This place is different from other places. You came here but didn't come to find me. Do you think you have too long to live?"

Just as Shen Li was about to speak, he heard Shen Xing say again: "Don't tell me you don't know I'm here. I don't believe you can't guess."

"Third brother, even if I know you are here, I don't know where you live. I can't go door to door asking, right?"

"Then how do you know to look for Mu Yu now?"

Shen Li then looked at Ye Muyu who was standing next to her and was looking at her with a smile.

"A Li, your third brother came to see me and then I knew he was back, so we came to find you together." Ye Muyu said.

"Thank you, Sister Ye." Shen Li's eyes lingered on Ye Muyu and Shen Xing's faces again and again. As she thought, they were very close, but she didn't know to what extent?

Are they less than lovers? Are they already together? Or are they just friends?

"What's that look in your eyes?" Shen Xing spoke first.

"Nothing, Third Brother, where do you live? Let's go to your place and talk." It was already afternoon, and Shen Li didn't plan to sell anymore. He returned to the stall and put away all the ointments on it.

Then he looked at Cao Qin and Luo Qi who were not far away and shouted, "Let's go back."

Shen Xing naturally took the large basket of perfume from Shen Li and put it on his back: "Come with me."

Several people followed.

"Third brother, is your place far from here?" Shen Li asked.

"Not far, just in the alley ahead."

Sure enough, just as Shen Xing said, after a while, they turned into an alley. Shen Xing pushed open one of the doors, turned around and looked at the few people and said, "This is it, come in."

Shen Li went in and found that it was not as it looked from the outside. It was a very small place. There was a small courtyard at the entrance, with three main rooms, and a kitchen and a woodshed on both sides.

Shen Xing led a few people into the room in the middle.

Shen Li followed him in and found that this was a living room: "Third brother, is this where you live?"

"Yes, I rented this courtyard. It's pretty good, right?"

"That's right." Shen Li sat on the chair and said to the remaining people, "Sister Ye, please sit down." He then looked at Luo Qi and the others and said, "You guys sit down too."

Shen Xing put the basket on the ground and sat down next to Shen Li: "Tell me quickly, what happened at home during this period of time?"

"Didn't you say you knew everything?"

Shen Xing glared at her.

Shen Li then said, "There are many things to do. My eldest brother is an official, my second brother is now working in the Ministry of Works, and I have been busy with the perfume business outside."

"I know all this. I didn't disappear. My second brother told me everything when he wrote back to me. But you know, he is a very simple person. He only said a few words without any details."

Shen Li laughed: "Okay, which aspect do you want to know?"

"Of course I said everything."

At this time, Ye Muyu stood up and said, "I'll make tea for you." Then he got up and went out.

Luo Qi and Cao Qin also followed him out.

Shen Li knew that they were giving them space to talk, so she began to talk in detail, telling them everything that happened to the family after Shen Xing left. After she finished, she suddenly felt dry in the mouth. At this time, Ye Muyu came in from outside with a pot of tea: "Are you thirsty? Have some tea."

Then she poured them both a cup of tea.

Shen Li wanted to say that the timing of coming in was really good.

"She doesn't drink tea, she only drinks boiled water." Shen Xing said.

"There's still a lot of water left from making tea. I'll go pour it." Ye Muyu said.

"Don't bother Sister Ye. I'll go pour it myself."

"No, you're not familiar with this place, I'll go, you two can chat."
