Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 236 Does she have extraordinary hearing?

"Oh, okay," Gu Yuanen was a little excited because he didn't expect his sister to disguise him.

So this is how exciting and interesting his sister's life is? He never expected it.

Gu Yuanen certainly couldn't have imagined this.

In his eyes, Gu Qingyue used to be a little miracle doctor from a farming family. She could make delicious pastries, had amazing medical skills, was skilled in martial arts, kind-hearted, and loved to save people.

Apart from that, I know almost nothing about her style of doing things.

Now that he has discovered that this talented and kind girl is actually his own sister, he naturally can't help but pay attention to everything about her.

From now on, he will do everything he can to help his sister whenever she needs him.

Having been separated for so long, he didn't want his sister to leave his sight for even a moment longer!

He wanted to be involved in everything she did!

When the two emerged from the second courtyard, they had transformed into two ordinary-looking teenagers, dressed simply.

In the small noodle shop opposite Fulai Inn.

Gu Qingyue and Gu Yuanen sat facing each other, ordered two bowls of noodles, and ate them slowly.

Gu Qingyue's attention had already shifted to the area around the house where the brother and sister were staying on the second floor of the Fulai Inn.

In a room, the brother and sister were discussing their return to Lizhou.

"Brother, you can wait if you want. It's almost Chinese New Year, so I'm going back now," the woman shouted angrily at the man sitting opposite her.

"You failed to fulfill your father's order and brought back the bear paw. Will you be punished when you return?"

The man looked at his troublesome and foolish younger sister with disdain, utterly speechless.

"It's just saving that bitch's brother, why are you so concerned? Is he even your uncle?" the woman retorted.

"Whether he's a blood relative or not, he's still my uncle now. My father told us to get the bear's paw to save him, so we can't refuse," the man said in a low voice, gritting his teeth.

He just couldn't understand how his sister, who was already seventeen, could still be so brainless.

That woman clearly wanted her father to punish them.

They went through great lengths to find out that there were iron-eating beasts for sale in Qihe Town, and they finally managed to get one.

There's only one step left. Can't this silly little sister just stick to it and see it through?

Go all the way with this pretense!

Even if it was the brother who saved his stepmother, so what?

All he wanted was his father's approval; nothing else mattered.

"You wait! I don't want that bitch Ruyi! Hasn't she tormented us enough?" The woman's voice was already trembling with sobs as she spoke through gritted teeth.

"It would be best if that iron-eating beast were stolen right now, and that bitch's brother died!" the woman continued angrily.

With a 'smack', a slap landed on the woman's face.

The woman stared wide-eyed at the man before her, as if she no longer recognized him.

With a loud "Wah---", the woman burst into tears.

Gu Qingyue's eyes hurt from looking at her. How old is she?

The man stood up impatiently and called out towards the door, "Someone come here!"

"Young Master," a tall guard immediately pushed open the door.

"Keep an eye on that beast, then go find Doctor Liu. Once you find him, bring him here as soon as possible to get the bear paw."

"Yes".

Gu Qingyue withdrew her spiritual power and exchanged a glance with Gu Yuanen.

Gu Yuanen: What does it mean by my sister's suddenly mysterious look?

Could there be an enemy in the noodle shop?

He glanced around warily, then his eyes darted around in fright at the shop owner's earnest and kind gaze.

"What's wrong?" he asked in a low voice.

"Uh------" Gu Qingyue finally came to her senses. Her fourth brother didn't know that she had 'superhuman hearing'.

She had just subconsciously mistaken the person opposite her for Mu Yun Chu. Should she speak now or not?

After thinking about it, she decided to tell her brother.

Otherwise, many things that happened later would be impossible to explain.

She gestured for Gu Yuanen to lower his head, then looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them.

He lowered his voice and recounted what had just happened.

Of course, she said it was what she heard; she has exceptional hearing.

A moment later, with a 'clatter', Gu Yuanen, who had finally come to his senses, trembled and dropped his chopsticks on the ground.

Gu Yuanen: What did my sister just say?

She's said to be able to hear any sound within a hundred meters?

Why is his head buzzing?

Did I hear that right?!

"Hi------", Gu Qingyue waved her small hand in front of his eyes, finally bringing him back to his senses.

"Moon," Gu Yuanen said, disregarding the stares around him, as he grabbed her hand and lowered his voice.

"Don't tell anyone."

After speaking, he made a round of inspections.

He checked to see if anyone had noticed, and then gave the noodle shop owner a particularly 'focused' look, leaving the owner bewildered.

Gu Qingyue looked at him, both amused and exasperated, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Gu Qingyue blinked, indicating that she had everything under control.

Gu Yuanen let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Thinking of his sister's superpowers made him happy again.

With such abilities, wouldn't my sister have an extra layer of security?

"Shall we go find it now?" Gu Yuanen asked.

Gu Qingyue thought for a moment and decided to wait while she checked on the Iron-Eating Beast.

Half a cup of tea later, a young man walked into the noodle shop and placed a note on Gu Qingyue's table as he passed by.

Gu Qingyue picked up the note and looked at it. Very good.

An hour later, everything was ready, and we could begin.

She just discovered that the young master of the Thunderbolt Hall had people at the front and back doors and all the passageways of this inn.

She could openly snatch the Iron-Eating Beast, but that would likely involve a large-scale battle; she wanted to outsmart it.

After discussing it with Gu Yuanen in a low voice for a while, Gu Qingyue went out through the back door of the noodle shop.

After waiting for a while, Gu Yuanen put down the silver and walked out of the noodle shop.

I wandered around the streets for a bit, then walked into the Fulai Inn.

"Waiter, bring me three superior rooms. Our master wants to stay here. Hurry, our master is almost here." Gu Yuanen perfectly portrayed the image of a slightly arrogant servant from a wealthy family.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly came out from behind the counter.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, we only have one room left, this..." The innkeeper seemed a little embarrassed.

This customer is clearly a big spender who doesn't care about money!

But now all the main rooms have been occupied by the young master and his group, leaving only one main room downstairs.

This... the shopkeeper is also in a dilemma. Every time the young master comes, he makes things difficult for him. Sigh!

"What? Such a big inn only has one superior room? I don't care, you find someone else to vacate two rooms right now and clean them thoroughly, otherwise, if our young lady blames you, you'll be in big trouble!"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat.

This person must be someone important, so he cupped his hands and moved a little closer to Gu Yuanen.

With a fawning smile, she said, "Sir, this is truly..."

Gu Yuanen grabbed the shopkeeper by the collar and said arrogantly, "Looking for a beating?"

Instantly, tensions rose between the two sides, and it looked like they were about to fight.

Two men rushed over immediately, trying to pull the two apart, but Gu Yuanen wouldn't let go, and the group was soon shoving each other.

There was a commotion downstairs, and the Thunderbolt Hall guards on the second floor, seeing that their men were about to be in trouble, quickly ran down.

They didn't notice that someone immediately slipped into the corridor behind them.

Gu Qingyue nimbly reached the young master's door, opened the window a crack, and flicked in a powerful sleeping pill.
