After several days, He Xiuyuan found nothing in the Liu Residence; it was as if the situation Master Liu described had never occurred there.
Or perhaps, the entity knew He Xiuyuan had arrived and deliberately hid.
If it was the latter, then the matter would become somewhat tricky.
After all, an entity that could detect He Xiuyuan's presence while He Xiuyuan could not detect it, was, no matter how one thought about it, extremely troublesome.
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan's brows furrowed deeply, and a hint of difficulty appeared in his eyes.
What exactly was this thing? It was too well hidden.
He Xiuyuan ate the dinner prepared by the Liu Residence, sighed, then picked up and opened the wine gourd beside him, taking a sip of the one day spring inside; the taste of the fine wine slightly dispelled the troubles in his heart.
"Mr. He..."
He Xiuyuan was dining in his room when Liu Zonghua came knocking; after gently tapping on the door, Liu Zonghua waited for He Xiuyuan's permission to enter.
"Ah, Master Liu, please come in."
He Xiuyuan heard the movement at the door and immediately responded.
Master Liu pushed the door open, then closed it behind him.
Looking at He Xiuyuan, who was dining, Liu Zonghua rubbed his hands, "I hope I haven't disturbed Mr. He's meal?"
Liu Zonghua spoke with some embarrassment; he had waited for a while before coming over, not expecting He Xiuyuan to still be eating.
"No matter, Master Liu, please sit."
He Xiuyuan extended his hand, motioning for Master Liu to sit down, then shook the gourd in his hand, "Master Liu, would you like to have some together?"
Liu Zonghua's eyes lit up at the words, "Then I respectfully accept!"
He was very curious about what kind of wine a person like He Xiuyuan drank.
After the one day spring touched his lips, Liu Zonghua's eyes immediately brightened; although he didn't know what kind of wine it was, the liquid had a long, mellow finish, truly a fine vintage, even more delicious than baihua brew.
After carefully savoring it, Liu Zonghua couldn't help but praise it as good wine.
"Master Liu, did you come to see me about something today?"
Seeing that the other party had drunk the one day spring, He Xiuyuan then asked.
Liu Zonghua hesitated at the question, then looked at He Xiuyuan with a hint of apprehension.
"Mr. He, have you found nothing these past few days in the Liu Residence?"
Since He Xiuyuan had arrived at his residence, he hadn't had those terrifying dreams, and he guessed that He Xiuyuan might not have found anything because of it.
This made him feel a little helpless.
Because if this were the case, he would look like a liar, claiming to have nightmares every day, but when the person came, nothing happened.
"Hmm, that thing hasn't appeared for some reason; I wonder if it detected my presence and then hid."
"If that's truly the case, then it will be difficult to handle."
He couldn't stay in the Liu Residence forever; if that thing stubbornly refused to appear, and then reappeared after He Xiuyuan left, that would be very troublesome.
Liu Zonghua felt a weight lift from his heart when He Xiuyuan didn't question him; he had originally worried that He Xiuyuan would doubt him because of this, but fortunately, He Xiuyuan had no such intention, which was good.
"Then what should we do next? If that thing never appears, then..."
Liu Zonghua was also a little worried now.
If the other party never appeared, then the situation would be too bad.
He Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Let's wait and see for now."
The Underworld still hadn't found those Fellow Daoists, so he still had time to stay here for now.
He had recently searched the Liu Residence thoroughly, inside and out, but had found no suspicious places; truthfully, all he could do now was wait.
Liu Zonghua saw that He Xiuyuan had no intention of leaving, and his heart relaxed slightly; after chatting with He Xiuyuan for a few more moments, he then turned and departed.
He Xiuyuan, seeing this, thought about the few places he had recently investigated, then shook his head again.
There was indeed nothing strange around the Liu Residence; it didn't seem to have any problems.
It was troublesome.
He Xiuyuan thought of this, finished the food in front of him, had the maid clean up, and then sat down to rest...
"This person is also strange; after entering the Liu Residence, I haven't seen him care about the affairs of the Liu Residence; he just eats and drinks every day, then goes out, and then sleeps until noon."
"Father is very indulgent with him; if it were us, where would we be able to sleep until this time in the afternoon?"
"Father even specifically instructed that he should not be disturbed when he is sleeping."
Outside, Liu Yongyu and another person, looking at He Xiuyuan's room, couldn't help but curl their lips and say.
Clearly, they were very dissatisfied with the treatment He Xiuyuan was currently receiving.
The favor shown to He Xiuyuan was simply too excessive.
Moreover, if one were to say that He Xiuyuan had any special qualities or particularly good points, they hadn't seen any.
If that was the case, then why was Father still so good to He Xiuyuan?
Thinking of this, Liu Yongyu became even more displeased.
Liu Yulu sat beside him, watching the maid carry things out, and after a moment of thought, said, "Is there a Baihua Banquet tomorrow? Let's invite him to go with us."
"Invite him to the Baihua Banquet? Why?"
Liu Yongyu's brows furrowed at the words, and he looked at his sister with surprise.
The Baihua Banquet was also a major event in Yunhua County, and the Baihua Banquet they were to attend was even grander, only accessible to some high officials and nobles in Yunhua County.
Inviting He Xiuyuan at this time, wasn't that bringing He Xiuyuan into their circle and allowing him to meet more people?
Thinking of this, Liu Yongyu couldn't help but frown, quite dissatisfied with his sister's idea.
"Hmph, otherwise what? We haven't even figured out this person's background yet; if we don't find an excuse to take him out, how can we inquire about his background?"
Liu Yulu heard her brother's words and immediately said with great displeasure.
At this point, he was still thinking about those things.
Liu Yongyu pondered for a moment, thinking, perhaps this way was also acceptable?
"Then, I'll go invite him now?"
They definitely couldn't do anything in the Liu Residence; after all, if they did, Father would surely know, and given Father's attitude at the family banquet, he would definitely be in trouble if Father found out.
So, they still had to get him out.
Having understood this point, Liu Yongyu no longer resisted.
Even if Father knew they were inviting He Xiuyuan to the Baihua Banquet, he would surely be very much in favor of it.
