Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Chen Yang instantly realized that this bastard Xiao Fan was about to make a move!

He immediately stood up and said to Liu Qingxia beside him, "Qingxia, I need to go to the restroom to relieve myself."

"I'll take you there." Liu Qingxia nodded and was about to get up.

Xiao Fan, who was sitting not far away, felt a jolt in his heart when he saw the two of them stand up at the same time!

The next big show was tailor-made for Liu Qingxia!

If Liu Qingxia leaves, his entire plan will fall through.

Liu Qingxia absolutely cannot leave!

Xiao Fan immediately gave Zhao Manmei a wink.

Zhao Manmei knew exactly what was going on. Smiling, she quickly walked over and asked Liu Qingxia, "Cousin Qingxia, the banquet is only halfway through, where are you headed?"

"Chen Yang has difficulty seeing, he needs to use the restroom, I'll take him there," Liu Qingxia said truthfully.

"Hehehe..." Zhao Manmei laughed and waved her hand, "Cousin Qingxia, why did you have to make such a fuss over something so trivial?"

She turned and shouted to the side, "Someone! Serve Young Master Chen well and take him to the corner to relieve himself! If Young Master Chen is even slightly dissatisfied, you will be held responsible! Remember, stay close by and bring him back unharmed!"

She deliberately emphasized her words, adding, "Although Young Master Chen is blind and disabled, even in his crippled state, he is still a member of the Liu family. You must protect him carefully!"

These words were ostensibly an order to the guards, but in reality, they were a public humiliation of Chen Yang, calling him a useless piece of trash!

Two guards immediately stepped forward and bowed to Liu Qingxia, saying, "Please rest assured, Miss, we will protect Young Master Chen at all times!"

Zhao Manmei nodded in satisfaction.

Liu Qingxia frowned slightly, but didn't say much, and could only sit back down.

Zhao Manmei grabbed her arm and teased with a smile, "Cousin Qingxia, did you see that? Chen Yang only had a few drinks and he's already in a hurry to go to the toilet."

"I've been there, and to be honest, this is a sign that a man is impotent!"

"Miss Zhao, please watch your words!" Liu Qingxia's face darkened. "Chen Yang is, after all, my husband."

Seeing that she was unmoved by Zhao Manmei's words, Zhao Manmei shook her head speechlessly: "Fine, fine, I won't say anything more, lest you get angry again. Anyway, you'll understand from now on that everything I do as your cousin is for your own good!"

On the other side, Chen Yang was being led by two guards, one on each side, towards the toilet at the corner.

The toilet was very luxurious. After Chen Yang went in, he closed the door behind him.

The two guards had no patience to stand watch outside the restroom. One of them impatiently urged, "Hurry up! The song and dance performance is about to start, and we don't want to waste your time here!"

"Alright, alright, I'll try to be as quick as possible," Chen Yang replied, then deliberately complained, "The food and drinks at your city lord's mansion seem a bit off; they gave me an upset stomach."

"Hmph..." The two guards couldn't help but sneer.

The guard on the left sneered, "You've never had a good meal before! You can't hold your liquor and can't handle delicacies, yet you dare blame our City Lord's Mansion? How laughable!"

Chen Yang was too lazy to waste words with them and his gaze fell on the window behind the toilet.

The next second, he lightly leaped out of the window like a cat, and in a flash, he headed straight for the backyard of the city lord's mansion!

At the same time, Wu Qiang was hurrying towards Xiao Fan's study.

He was Xiao Fan's close subordinate and knew Xiao Fan's entire plan. He was also a little excited... He knew that he was about to witness a steamy drama!

Throughout the banquet, Wu Qiang's eyes never left Liu Qingxia.

As Xiao Fan's personal bodyguard, he had seen many beautiful women, but a woman as aloof, beautiful, and peerless as Liu Qingxia was absolutely one of a kind!

Wu Qiang was completely unaware that a ghostly figure was following him.

Ahead was Xiao Fan's courtyard. The guards at the gate immediately bowed and made way when they saw Wu Qiang.

Wu Qiang stepped forward, pushed open the door, and walked straight in.

At the same time, Chen Yang leaped lightly and silently entered the courtyard.

"Whoosh!"

Chen Yang was extremely fast. After unleashing the Seven Steps Netherworld Slash, he was almost like a phantom, instantly arriving in front of the study.

With a "click," he pushed open the window and rushed into the study.

In the study, five cloaks were neatly arranged on the table, each cloak contained in a specially made bag, with the corresponding name embroidered on the bag.

Chen Yang immediately noticed that Liu Qingxia's name was embroidered on the leftmost bag, next to the names of Sun Xiaoyi, Zhao Manmei, and others.

"Heh, you came prepared after all." Chen Yang chuckled lightly, immediately stepped forward, and quickly swapped the labels on Liu Qingxia and Zhao Manmei!

After doing all this, he quickly hid behind the desk, held his breath, and waited quietly.

A dozen seconds later, Wu Qiang pushed open the door and walked into the study. He glanced at the five bags on the table, but without any suspicion, he picked them up and turned to leave.

Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the labels had been exchanged. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly noticed a faint spiritual energy flashing on the wall behind him!

Although Chen Yang has no eyeballs, he has awakened the ability of spiritual vision.

While they may not be as adept at perceiving ordinary objects as the average cultivator, their perception of spiritual energy far surpasses that of ordinary people!

He slowly walked forward and began to feel around on the wall, soon discovering a hidden mechanism on a vase next to the wall.

"There's definitely something fishy going on!"

Chen Yang pressed down gently, and the next moment, the seemingly intact wall slowly slid down, revealing a narrow entrance, and a rich spiritual energy rushed out!

This is actually the secret chamber where Xiao Fan usually cultivates!

Inside the secret chamber, there was a large amount of spirit stones piled up. The spiritual energy fluctuations that I had just sensed were emanating from these spirit stones!

Upon seeing the room full of spirit stones, Chen Yang was instantly excited. Without thinking, he swept all the spirit stones into his storage ring!

He glanced at the system panel.

[Remaining Spirit Stones: 2200]

Previously, after upgrading his storage ring, he only had 1487 spirit stones left.

Now, there are a full 713 more spirit stones!

On the ground, there was still a lot of powder from the broken spirit stones, which were the residue left after the spirit stones lost their spiritual energy.

Chen Yang felt a pang of heartache and cursed inwardly: This Xiao Fan is indeed rich! He cultivates entirely by piling up spirit stones, what a waste!

He scanned the secret room again and found that, in addition to spirit stones, there were four magical artifacts, a cultivation manual, and more than ten exquisitely carved jade treasures, which were clearly made by a master!

Without any hesitation, Chen Yang swept all the good things in the secret room away before leaving.

He moved incredibly fast, returning to the toilet in the blink of an eye and pushing open the latrine door.

Seeing this, the two guards continued to support Chen Yang on either side and walked towards the banquet hall. The whole process was uneventful.

When Chen Yang and the guards returned to the hall.

Wu Qiang then placed the five cloaks on Xiao Fan's table.
