Dong Mei didn’t understand, but she knew Xia He’s obstruction must have a reason.
Gu Pianran continued on her journey with An Ye, but before setting off, she gave An Ye something.
“Ah Ye, put this on.” Gu Pianran handed An Ye a silver mask.
An Ye glanced at the mask, about to take it, when Gu Pianran said, “I want you to wear a mask for our own good. Otherwise, your appearance in front of the world will easily cause trouble.”
Gu Pianran, fearing he wouldn’t agree, patiently explained.
Since ancient times, those with outstanding looks have easily attracted trouble; this applies not only to women but also to men.
Of course, Gu Pianran had her own selfish motives; she didn’t want others to see An Ye’s face.
Her two maids disliked him, yet every time they saw his face, they were unconsciously attracted to him, demonstrating his extraordinary, almost otherworldly appearance.
Until she had won him over, she absolutely couldn’t let other women see his face.

Great Zhou Dynasty, Linzhou Prefecture—
Half a month passed quickly, and Bei Yutang’s vacation was over.
Bei Yutang originally wanted to get rid of this person before entering her slumber, but seeing Xiao Zimo’s adoration for him, she allowed him to stay.
Although this person’s identity was mysterious, it was clear he wasn’t a bad person, not a truly wicked one.
This was also the reason Bei Yutang allowed him to remain.
“I will be in seclusion for the next few days, so I will need to trouble Young Master Feng to look after the affairs of the manor.” Bei Yutang said preemptively, giving a good reason for her sudden slumber to avoid arousing suspicion.
“Mrs. Mu, you are too polite.”
Feng Lihen wanted to say something more, but Bei Yutang had no intention of continuing the conversation.
“If Young Master Feng needs to leave early, he only needs to inform Mo’er.” Bei Yutang stopped after taking two steps and turned to him.
“Alright.”
Feng Lihen watched her enter the room, a hint of inquiry in his deep eyes.
In the dead of night, when all was quiet, Bei Yutang finally entered the mission world.
“Entering the mission.”
[Teleportation countdown begins. Ten, nine, eight, seven…]
As Bei Yutang entered the mission world, in the next room, Feng Lihen was enveloped in a thin layer of white mist, with a faint silver-white light flashing before disappearing between his brows.
The next morning, Daixiang got up early. When she went to the kitchen, she found it empty and remembered that Sister Mu’s illness had relapsed. Usually, when Sister Mu wasn’t home, she would cook.
After washing her hands, Daixiang began to prepare breakfast.
After getting up, Xiao Zimo’s first action wasn’t to go to the yard to practice her martial arts, but to go into Bei Yutang’s room.
After seeing that her mother was already fast asleep, he fetched a basin of hot water from the kitchen and gently wiped Bei Yutang’s face, then applied a skin-soothing cream.
After everything was ready, he carried the washbasin out.
Just as he came out, Daixiang placed breakfast on the dining table in the front hall.
Daixiang saw Xiao Zimo carrying the washbasin and immediately took it from his hands.
“Young Master, let me do this kind of work.” Daixiang said.
Xiao Zimo shook his head: “No need. I’ll take care of Mother myself.”
He felt more at ease taking care of his mother himself.
Daixiang had suggested this several times, but Xiao Zimo had refused each time.
