Ling'er rode her horse and walked very far west without finding the town Gongsun Qian mentioned. She was frustrated to find that she was lost.
Just when Ling'er was frustrated and about to go back, she met a woman who was also riding a horse.
Ling'er hurriedly rode forward to ask for directions: "Little sister, if I could lend you a light, do you know how to get to Zhenbao Villa?"
The woman turned her head and glanced at Ling'er, and said displeasedly: "How do you know you are older than me?"
"Sorry, I was rude." Ling'er said with a smile.
"That's all, what do you want from Treasure Villa? It's only the middle of the month!" the woman asked curiously.
"I'm looking for someone." Ling'er explained.
"Looking for someone? The person you are looking for is Master Qi Village?" the woman asked.
"Master Qi Villa? Is this Treasure Villa also the Qi family's property?" Linger thought to himself. She asked tentatively: "Is the Master Qi you are talking about Qi Yang?"
"Qi Yang? Who is he? The owner of Zhenbao Villa is named Qi Yunshu." The woman explained to Ling'er kindly.
Ling'er thought: "That's right. If Zhenbao Villa is the Qi family's property, Xiaoxu would have told me this morning."
Seeing Ling'er giggling there by herself, the woman didn't know what she was thinking of. She couldn't help but joked: "You don't even know the name of Master Qizhuang, no wonder you are lost."
Ling'er's face turned red and she explained shyly: "I have only heard of Treasure Villa before, and this is my first time to go there."
"I've only heard of people going to Treasure Villa to look for treasures, but I've never heard of people looking for people! You're so interesting!" the woman said with a smile, "What's your name?"
"My name is Gan Ling'er." Ling'er said with a smile.
"My surname is Yu and my name is Xifan. My friends all call me Xiaofan." The woman smiled and said, "Seeing how silly you are, I will take you to Zhenbao Villa! This will save you from getting lost again."
"Thank you, Xiaofan." Ling'er said gratefully.
The woman Ling'er met happened to be Yu Xifan, an extraordinary scholar. At this time, she was no longer wearing a black outfit, but was wearing a well-fitting beige bunt, looking like a heroine.

After Ling'er arrived at Zhenbao Villa, Yu Xifan, who met her unexpectedly, said goodbye and left.
The world is so big, I don’t know when we will see each other again?
Ling'er watched Yu Xifan leave with emotion, then walked into the famous Treasure Villa.
Although Zhenbao Villa is famous, it occupies a small area. It is about the same size as Jijia Villa and consists of several small courtyards.
Accompanied by his attendants, Ling'er came to the hall in the outermost courtyard.
Various rare treasures are displayed on the shelves in the hall. There are many treasures that Linger has never seen, let alone their magical functions and uses.
Ling'er told the attendant that he was looking for someone, and the attendant left.
Ling'er looked at the hall. Except for some guards guarding the treasures, there were no other guests.
It was boring to wait like this, so Ling'er walked to the nearest shelf to see what treasures were on it.
"These are rare pills in the world." An old voice sounded behind Ling'er.
Ling'er looked back and saw an old man who appeared from nowhere and was looking at him kindly.
The old man introduced: "These elixirs each have unique medicinal effects. Are you interested in taking a look?"
Ling'er pointed to the medicine bottle closest to her and asked, "What kind of pill is this?"
"This is the 'Soul Locking Pill', but a distinguished guest has made a reservation, so the girl can look at the other ones." The old man said.
"'Soul-locking Pill'? Is it the kind of pill that forces all the muscles and veins in the body to reverse course once you take it?" Ling'er thought for a while and asked.
"That's right. I didn't expect the girl to know this kind of 'soul-locking pill'." The old man looked at Ling'er with some surprise.
"I also learned about this extremely cruel elixir by chance." Ling'er said.
"It is precisely because of its extremely cruel medicinal effect that it is so popular." The old man said with a smile.
Generally, pills that control internal energy will only prevent the person from moving his energy after taking it. Even if there are pills that can force the movement of energy, it will only damage the muscles and veins. However, this "Soul Locking Pill" is extremely overbearing and can actually cause the muscles and veins to reverse course. It causes great pain and is indeed a necessary drug for torture.
Just then, a steward walked in.
"I heard that this girl is here to find someone?" The steward was a little surprised. There are many people who come to Zhenbao Villa to look for various treasures, but Ling'er is the first person to come here to look for people.
"Well, I'm here to see Brother Qi Yang." Afraid that the other party wouldn't know who Brother Qi Yang is, Ling'er explained, "Uh... he's the second in charge of the Qi family in the capital."
Unexpectedly, the steward suddenly looked stunned.
Ling'er asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Brother Qi Yang, isn't he here? I thought he would come here!"
Only then did the steward react. He patted his forehead and said, "Is the person the girl is looking for Mr. Qi?"
Ling'er nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just a misunderstanding. Mr. Qi has already left Treasure Villa for a long time." The steward explained.
"He has left?" Ling'er was a little disappointed and asked, "Then what is he doing here?"
"This..." The steward looked at Ling'er in embarrassment.
Ling'er asked again: "Is it about Wenshan Academy?"
"This... I can't say for sure, you'd better ask Mr. Qi yourself!" the steward said cautiously. This girl seems to be familiar with Mr. Qi, and he cannot offend her.
Linger had no choice but to give up.
"Girl, would you like to see the various treasures in our villa?" the steward said enthusiastically.
"No, I have to go back too." Ling'er planned to say goodbye.
The steward sent Linger out.
Ling'er accidentally glanced at the various masks on the shelf next to her and said in surprise: "You really have masks here!"
"Yes, there are masks of various materials. Would you like to see them, girl?" the steward asked with a smile.
"Okay!" Ling'er said, then walked to the shelf and began to appreciate it seriously.
There are indeed masks of various materials here. Even if the material is the same, each mask has its own unique pattern and characteristics.
Suddenly, Ling'er pointed to one of the red ghost masks and said in surprise: "I have seen a mask exactly like this one, but the color is not red, but black."
The steward looked at the mask on Ling'er's finger and introduced: "That is the mask of the 'Four Monsters of Taihu Lake'. There are four different colors in total. In addition to red and black, there are also purple and white."
"'Four Monsters of Taihu Lake'?" Ling'er had never heard of this name.
"They retired to the mountains and forests many years ago, and these masks were sent here to be auctioned," the steward said.
"But who will buy these masks?" Ling'er was curious.
"Some people simply like all kinds of masks, while some people have old friendships with the original owner of the mask and buy the mask just to keep it as a souvenir." The manager explained, "However, most of the guests belong to the latter, after all, these masks are not valuable. Fei."
Ling'er was a little surprised, where did Brother Jun get so much silver to buy that black ghost mask?
"As far as I know, Mr. Qi just likes to collect all kinds of masks, and he doesn't care about the money." The steward said with a smile.
"Are you saying that Brother Qi Yang often comes here to buy masks?" Ling'er asked. She thought in her mind: "He always wears a mask when traveling, but unexpectedly he likes to collect masks."
"Yes! The girl just said that, but she just remembered that the black mask of the 'Four Monsters of Taihu Lake' seems to have been bought by Mr. Qi," the steward said.
"What?" Ling'er was shocked.
