"Someone has sneaked into this place!"
Li Ao pondered for a moment and then spoke.
Ruyue was surprised: "How could it be? We have been keeping watch nearby. Even if we leave the study, we are still active nearby."
Li Chuan said: "You may not be able to find the people here if you are active nearby."
Ruyue said: "Young master, please don't look down on others, my consciousness has long been different from what it used to be."
When Li Fan heard what she said, he shook his head slightly.
"After you swallowed the elixir and gained the power of a human-snake, your body transformed into a demon, and you indeed gained consciousness beyond that of a mortal.
Under normal circumstances, no one entering or leaving this courtyard can hide from your perception.
But there's one thing you can't do anything about. "
"what?"
"Uncanny Realm!"
Li Fan didn't explain to Ru Yue how he knew someone had been here.
He reached out to the bookcase and touched it lightly as if dusting it.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, the strange source of energy disappeared.
Li Fan pondered: "It's hard to guess at the moment, when it will be..."
"Someone really sneaked into this place, so what was his purpose? Did he want to steal rare treasures or those secret records and notes?"
Kisaragi was a little panicked when he saw it.
"It's not your fault. People with strange realms are not something you can deal with."
But in fact, it is not easy for other people who have a strange domain to sneak into the mansion without making a sound.
Unless they are the ones guarding the Marquis Mansion itself...
Any fortress must be breached from the inside, if Li Ang wants to sneak in here to search for something.
Suddenly, Li Fan thought of something and his expression became serious.
He quickly walked to the secret part of the room, lifted the flowerpot on the ground, and pressed it on a seemingly normal place near the base of the wall.
The secret door slid to the side, revealing a complex mechanism like a roulette wheel.
His eyes were slightly focused, staring closely at the complex mechanism like a roulette wheel.
"Fortunately, no one has touched this place."
"Master, this is not..." Ruyue was about to speak, but suddenly thought of something and her voice dropped.
"Isn't this where the pen is hidden..."
That's right, after Li Ang saw Li Ang sneaking in here, the first thing he thought of was that the other party might be here for the Fuji Magic Brush!
He suspected himself of the theft in the palace!
Li Ao did not respond to Ruyue, but was thinking about this possibility.
Turns out it's really quite small.
Li Ang had fought against Yang Jing before, and he should have found out that the other party might have lost the pen.
And the object of Yang Jing's suspicion may be Li Ang.
But Li Ang knew that he didn't take it himself, so he doubted Li Fan.
Li Fan restored the mechanism, put the flower pots in place, and rechecked other places in the study.
This is said to be a study room, but it is actually the west wing of a three-story building. It is like a small library and is not small in area.
In the courtyard on the other side of this area is the secret vault where Li Ao hides other things, as well as the underground secret room with complete defenses.
When I subdued the beauty head before, I had to use the magic sound, which was to use the wall there to isolate the sound and avoid affecting other people in the house.
Li Fan took Ru Yue over to check, and Li Ya was on duty there.
"Has anyone been here around here?"
"No..." Li Ya looked surprised.
Since she was not a domestic slave raised since she was a child, Li Fan explained patiently: "Maybe someone who owns the Strange Domain has come in, and you don't know about it. Open the door here and I will go in and check."
When Li Ya heard this, she immediately opened the door of the warehouse.
Li Fan walked in and looked around instead of searching in a hurry.
As expected, there are traces of some strange aura circulating in it.
But at the intersection leading to the underground secret room, the strange aura was blocked by the disguised wall.
The Hou Mansion's defenses are very thorough, using the bones and blood of some weird things or other exotic treasures as walls, making it difficult to penetrate even the weird realm.
Because the strange power contained in them will interfere with the operation of the strange realm, they will touch them as soon as they come near, and then fall out of the void.
Unless there is more subtle or wonderful power in the realm, one can find a gap to get in.
After all, this is the legacy left by great-grandfather Li Jian.
Li Ao pressed his hand on the wall and waited for a while before seeing the wall open automatically.
For the time being, only the life energy of Li Xin and his son can trigger the induction of the wall here.
So no one else can come in or out without permission.
Li Chuan went in and checked around, but fortunately, there was no remnant of the strange source of matter.
"It has not been a peaceful time recently. Even if you are in the mansion, you must not take it lightly."
Li Chuan sighed and ordered the two women.
Only now did he feel more and more that what Xue An said in the past made sense.
Keeping certain things from yourself is really protecting yourself.
Ruyue knows the secret of Fuqi's magic pen.
Then if someone is aware of it and the search is fruitless, it is possible to target her.
Now Li Ang was just suspicious and not sure that the Fuqi magic pen was really hidden inside, so he didn't attack her.
But it’s really hard to predict what will happen if there are any clues.
Li Fan was thinking about how to deal with this matter.
After a long time, he asked Ruyue to find Xue An and others.
"There may be a thief in the house, please don't make any noise and do a low-key search!"
He decided to alert the enemy and let Li Ang, who was hiding in the dark, know that he could detect someone coming and going.
In this way, if there is still no restraint, then measures must be taken.
"What are you doing? This Chinese New Year is causing so much trouble that we can't even have peace!"
There is a difference between the inside and outside of the mansion. If the servants search everywhere, it will affect the activities of the female family members inside.
Yang Ju also complained quite a bit.
What to do if the cat disturbs her?
Li Fan thought for a while and told her the truth, including his grandfather Li Ang.
Yang Yan was surprised: "He has begun to suspect that the pen is in your hand?
Does he want to control this rare treasure and obtain a more complete puzzle? "
"Some things are not so easy to control." Li Chuan said.
“But that pen might really suit him, because he has immortality and is not afraid of the negative effects of using it!
Moreover, the ability to predict the future and traveling into the future are actually somewhat similar! "
When Li Fan heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then nodded with an ugly look on his face.
The two looked at each other and immediately felt great pressure.
Li Ang's ability is mysterious and unpredictable. He can slice himself into pieces and disperse them in different time and space in the future.
No one knows whether he happened to know this information and reversed it so that his current clone also knew it.
Of course, it is also possible that we can only go downstream and let the present body and the future share information to determine the timing of the slice's appearance.
From this point of view, he really needs to "predict the future" as a piece of the puzzle. What was originally an inconvenience like operating in the dark will immediately turn into an omniscient and omnipotent insight!
