Li You smiled and said, "Anyone who dislikes girls must have something wrong with their eyes."

"You're all lying to me," Tang Kesi pouted, tears welling up in her eyes again. "You're clearly Young Master Li You, so why did you pretend to be Li Yang? You've all lied to me."

“We…” Yang Nianqing didn’t know how to explain.

Li You sighed, "Miss, you misunderstand. It's just that I find my name too unpleasant to hear. I was afraid you would laugh at me if I said it, which would be too embarrassing. So I specially changed it to a nicer one. How could I have intentionally deceived you?"

Before she could finish speaking, Tang Kesi burst into laughter through her tears.

Yang Nianqing pouted.

He said those words so sweetly without batting an eye, making the other person happy. This guy really knows how to handle women. He's probably been using sweet talk for a long time. I'll have to be careful in the future... But it seems like he's never said anything so nice before, except when he's bullying me!

.

Tang Kesi seemed to believe it too, but after thinking about it carefully, her face suddenly turned red: "Then... why is Brother Nangong ignoring me?"

There are plenty of fish in the sea, but this beauty seems stubborn and unwilling to switch her allegiance. Yang Nianqing hesitated. She couldn't very well tell Nangong Xue that she didn't like him, could she? After much deliberation, to avoid a tragedy, she decided to prioritize love over friendship and help that handsome Nangong Xue resolve his romantic entanglements.

Then she sighed deeply, "Alas, you don't know, Brother Nangong, he..."

It stopped intentionally.

Tang Kesi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"Haven't you heard?" Yang Nianqing shook her head, her face full of regret, "The number one young master of the martial arts world, Nangong Xue, is not interested in women; he doesn't like them at all."

Tang Kesi was indeed stunned: "He... really doesn't like women?"

“Yes,” Yang Nianqing nodded seriously. Seeing that Tang Kesi didn’t believe her, she immediately pointed at Li You, “We all know. If you don’t believe me, ask him.”

"Is that so?" Tang Ke thought for a moment, still unconvinced. "But you're a girl too, so why does Brother Nangong still joke with you and hold your hand?"

Yang Nianqing was speechless.

Li You was also taken aback for a moment, then looked at her, his long eyebrows slightly furrowed, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Tang Kesi also stared at her with wide eyes.

Feeling uneasy under their gazes, Yang Nianqing was truly annoyed and immediately retorted, "I... of course it's different, we're good friends."

"I can be Nangong-gege's good friend too," Tang Kesi pouted and muttered, quite puzzled, "but he doesn't like to talk to me, and he doesn't like to talk to me..."

Then she asked in confusion, "You're a girl, and I'm a girl too, so why is Brother Nangong ignoring me? What did I say wrong?"

Yang Nianqing was embarrassed: "This..."

“Of course you’re wrong,” Li You suddenly interrupted her, dragging her away. “She’s not a woman.”

Volume Three: The Mystery Within the Painting of Love

"I'm not a woman, so are you hugging and kissing a man?" Of course, saying such a thing would have serious consequences, so Yang Nianqing, unusually rational for once, swallowed it back.

"How can I not be considered a woman!"

Li You finally stopped, let go of her hand, and looked at her: "Of course not. What girl has such a loud voice, and such a temper?"

Before she could answer, he casually turned to the side and said, "Besides, well... what girl would let a man hold her hand so easily?"

Yang Nianqing was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on, blinked and tentatively asked, "You...are you jealous?"

Li You ignored her and continued walking forward: "No."

She followed him relentlessly, tilting her head to examine him with a mischievous grin: "You're clearly jealous!"

"Wrong, I have never been jealous since I was a child."

"real?"

"real."

"Just admit it, it's okay!"

"no."

"You're really not jealous?"

"without."

“No, that’s not true,” Yang Nianqing said, holding his arm with an approving look. “Actually, there’s nothing wrong with holding hands. Men shouldn’t be so petty; they should be broad-minded…”

"Oh no, I'm jealous," Li You stopped and sighed as he looked at her. "Holding hands like that, only you could do something like that. Girl, can you please stop making me angry?"

"A man should understand the three obediences and four virtues, and be able to endure humiliation."

"We'll talk about that after I get married."

Without hesitation, Yang Nianqing replied, "You can take up your post earlier."

Upon hearing this, Li You was taken aback, then suddenly smiled ambiguously: "Arriving at your post ahead of schedule?"

Shaking... That's ill intent...

Seeing that handsome face, full of "smiles," gradually lean down, Yang Nianqing couldn't help but shudder: "I didn't say anything."

...

.

"Madam Ye doesn't seem to be lying. Could it be that she really has no connection with the 'Bai Twin Heroes'? Perhaps it's someone else entirely. Madam Bai the Second handled Yun Biyue's funeral arrangements. So, who ended up with the Ten Thousand Poison Blood Palm manual?"

After pondering for a long time, Yang Nianqing asked doubtfully, "Could it be the woman in the painting? Since those paintings were painted by Lord Tang, she must be related to him. Every time Lord Tang looks for Lin Xing, it's very likely that he's going to see her. But why would she kill Lin Xing? I don't understand..."

Li You nodded: "As long as we find her, half the mystery will be solved."

Yang Nianqing was distressed: "But we don't even know who she is, how are we supposed to find her?"

Li You frowned.

Putting aside these important matters, Yang Nianqing tugged at him again and asked curiously, "Tell me, Sisi is so pretty and cute, why doesn't Brother Nangong like her? Is his standard really that high?"

Li You glanced at her: "Not necessarily."

"Well?"

“Perhaps…” Li You suddenly turned around and stared at her intently, saying in a serious tone, “Perhaps his judgment is just as bad as mine.”

Yang Nianqing was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and angrily said, "You..."

Li You immediately replied, "I didn't say anything."

Yang Nianqing gave a token snort and continued to let her imagination run wild: "Is it because he thinks she's not gentle enough? Maybe Brother Nangong prefers someone more mature, or someone career-oriented..."

She tugged at Li You's sleeve, somewhat incredulous: "He's twenty-seven years old, has he really never liked a woman?"

Li You found it amusing.

A 27-year-old who doesn't like women? Could it be that this handsome guy is sexually frigid? Or... could it be that he has a problem in some way? Sigh, he looks so handsome and has such a great presence, it's unbelievable! Ahhh, so impure!

Yang Nianqing tried hard not to entertain those impure thoughts: "Doesn't he like younger girls? A ten-year age difference isn't a problem. Besides, people here can get married in their teens..."

As she said this, she suddenly remembered something and glared at Li You: "Hey, even though you don't have a main wife, do you have a bunch of concubines or mistresses at home?"

Li You suppressed a laugh: "What does Miss Yang think?"

She said sourly, "You lecher, calling me Miss Jiang and Ling'er, who knows if you're lying to me."

"It's too late to find out now."

"Who says it's too late! There are plenty of fish in the sea, I have plenty of opportunities."

"Now that you've already had physical intimacy with me, who else would dare to want you?"

Yang Nianqing blushed and pouted.

Skin-to-skin contact is just a kiss, what's the big deal! Of course, she didn't say this out loud, because she had no idea how this person would react or act after hearing it.

Li You looked at her, his expression becoming increasingly amused.

What did he find out?

Having witnessed his intelligence, Yang Nianqing dared not let her imagination run wild any longer and quickly changed the subject: "Uh... I mean, Brother Nangong never seems to like women, I was starting to think he really..."

Before he could finish speaking—fc

Her expression suddenly changed, and she grabbed Li You's arm: "Let's go!"

"Where to?" 44

"Go into town."

.

Dusk, Little Stone Street.

Because of the murder, the area was deserted. The gate was sealed off, and the servants and maids had probably all been sent away. The courtyard was empty and desolate.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Yang Nianqing said, "Let's go to the study."

Li You didn't ask any questions and indeed led her to the study.

.

The place was a complete mess.

As if it had been robbed, the desk had been overturned, and everything was lying haphazardly. The calligraphy and paintings on the wall had been torn to the ground, still showing signs of being trampled. It seemed that Lin Xing really had no relatives, and after his death, no one would take care of his family business. Sometimes, there is no difference between soldiers and thieves.

The room still had a lingering sweet scent, but now it no longer felt comfortable; instead, it smelled of death, suffocating the senses.

As soon as she entered, Yang Nianqing went straight to the bookshelf behind the screen.

Most of the paintings and calligraphy on the shelves had been thrown to the ground, creating a chaotic scene.

"Oh no!" Yang Nianqing exclaimed anxiously, quickly squatting down to carefully examine the scrolls, muttering repeatedly, "Where is it? Where is it..."
