396: The Grand Master Has Arrived 1

The Grand Master Has Arrived 1

Lu Yan thought about the blueprints and then some other things. He connected everything together piece by piece. Staring at her with big black eyes, he slowly said, "You drew these blueprints by yourself, which means that you also had to have drawn the blueprints of that house in Linquan Village. They're not Master Architect Li Qinglian's masterpieces at all. So the question is, are you Master Architect Li Qinglian's apprentice? If not, then from whom did you learn your talent for architectural design?2

"Also, if you have no relation to Su Hexiao, that means you're the one who treated the Lord Heir.

"It's just that outsiders mistakenly thought that it had to be an expert divine physician like Su Hexiao who had the ability to cleanse the toxins in the Lord Heir.

"But if you have no relation to Master Architect Li Qinglian and Su Hexiao, how did you, someone who was seen as a fool just a few months ago, suddenly become so amazing?! None of this adds up, and it doesn't make any sense."

Many things did not make sense.

Wait, there was still another possibility.

This Qi Qingyao might not be the real Qi Qingyao.

If she was not the real Qi Qingyao, things would then make sense.

However, if that was the case, who was she, actually?

'Reincarnation into another's body?' The thought suddenly popped into Lu Yan's mind.

After entertaining that fleeting thought for a moment, Lu Yan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

F*ck.

What on earth was he thinking about? That was far too ridiculous!

Even if reincarnation into somebody else's body could explain her current abilities, it did not explain why the matter from five years ago could not be solved, and it could not explain Qi Qingyao's parentage.

He had taken an indirect approach and asked the Zhaixing Administration to look for the whereabouts of Li Qinglian and Su Hexiao, but even until today, the results had yet to turn up!

Lu Yan felt his head start to hurt. "Let's stop talking about this."

Qi Qingyao was holding a plate of braised pork ribs and munching on them leisurely. She said, "I didn't bring it up. You're the one getting yourself all worked over it."

He was indeed troubled by it. "Are you really not curious?"

"I am curious," Qi Qingyao said in an ambiguous tone as she continued to munch on the pork ribs. "But there's no use in speculating, so let's just wait for now."

Lu Yan asked anxiously, "What do we wait for?"

Qi Qingyao spit a bone out of her mouth. She raised her eyelids and said, "I always felt like this matter would eventually come to light." It was just that right now was not the right time yet.

The next few days passed.

Qi Qingyao was waiting, waiting for the arrival of the two grand masters.

Counting the hours, even if they had been injured during the duel, they should have already almost recovered by now.

It was about time for them to come to her residence to kick up a fuss.

To her surprise, however, they did not show up even after she waited for them for three days.

Instead, Lu Yan came back from outside with a weather-worn look. He mysteriously called her to the study. Qi Qingyao asked straightforwardly, "How was your forgery?"

Lu Yan took a jade tablet out of his sleeve and placed it in her hand. "How's the quality?"

Qi Qingyao took a look after getting a hold of it.

Although it was a forgery, it was actual Nephrite. It was not really a forgery, but they had still wasted this piece of jade in order to achieve their goal.

Qi Qingyao looked at the tablet.

"Very similar."

The pattern was the fake one that she had drawn.

Qi Qingyao asked again, "What about the others?"

Lu Yan answered, "The others are still waiting to get their engravings."

Qi Qingyao asked, "How long will it take?"

Lu Yan said, "Since we're keeping this low-key, I only hired one master craftsman. I have confidence in his work, but it'll be slower with only one person, so it will take at least half a month for the work to be completed."

Qi Qingyao blinked and looked at him in shock. After thinking about it, she said, "You can tell the master craftsman there's no need for the patterns to be too detailed."
