"Okay, okay, just spoil her and let her play!" The leader of the troupe still didn't know that Keli and Lu Lin's relationship was also very special, and thought that Lu Lin was just spoiling the child.
Although Klee is no longer a child.
......
Lisa, dressed in a magnificent purple witch's dress and a pointed witch's hat, arrived at the door of Commander Jean's office and knocked.
Boom boom boom!
No one answered!
"Miss Lisa, Commander Qin is not at work today," said a female secretary from the Knights Order in the next room.
Late for work?!
Lisa's lips twitched, her expression somewhat incredulous.
It's really strange. The troupe leader is a well-known workaholic. Arriving early and leaving late is the norm for her. Why is she unusually late for work today?
To be precise, she's been acting strangely ever since she went to Liyue and came back.
Although I still arrive at work early, I work overtime much less often at night, and I take a proper lunch break. It's like I've become a completely different person.
Lisa once suspected that she had been stimulated or possessed by something strange, and she tested her several times, both openly and secretly.
She was relieved to find that the troupe leader was indeed normal in other aspects and was still the troupe leader she knew.
Actually, this is a good thing. The troupe leader Qin works too hard, and her friends often worry that she is overworking herself. It's good that she has learned to balance work and rest.
But a balance between work and rest shouldn't lead to being late for work, right?
Could something have happened?
Da da da!
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and the troupe leader, dressed in a smart outfit and looking dashing, rushed over.
"Tsk tsk, is Director Qin late?" Lisa said with a slightly teasing smile.
"Uh... something came up at home, that's why I was delayed." When she saw Lisa waiting for her at the office door, the leader of the troupe instinctively avoided eye contact.
This little gesture didn't escape Lisa's notice. The leader of the harem wasn't good at lying; she only made these kinds of gestures when she was lying.
However, the clever Lisa did not press the matter, but instead changed the subject: "The library has a new book purchase plan, and we need your approval for some funding. Could you sign off on it?"
“Okay!” Without a second thought, the troupe leader prepared to take the documents from Lisa’s hand.
But Lisa didn't give it to her. Instead, she smiled and said, "Commander Qin, there's no need to be in such a hurry. At least sit down in your office and catch your breath!"
"This..." Commander Qin hesitated a bit; it wasn't easy to get into her office these days!
She left in a hurry yesterday, and she didn't expect to be late for morning exercises today. Her office hasn't been tidied up yet!
"What? I came all this way and you won't even let me into your office? That's really hurting my feelings!" The astute librarian found Director Qin's behavior increasingly intriguing!
Her curiosity grew even stronger!
Now that things have come to this point, it wouldn't be appropriate for Director Qin to linger any longer. She forced a smile and said, "How could that be? I was just worried you'd get impatient waiting."
While dealing with Lisa and opening the door, Director Qin was still recalling the details of yesterday's office, wondering if there was anything inappropriate for Lisa to see.
There should be no problem?
They left dressed, and the water stains on the floor should have dried overnight, so everything should be fine!
The troupe leader kept giving herself a pep talk, then took out her keys and opened the office door.
"come in!"
Chapter 433 Lisa's Curiosity, Night Palace's Shock
Lisa noticed the troupe leader's feigned composure but actually guilty conscience, which made her even more certain that there was something wrong in the office.
But she remained expressionless and simply followed the troupe leader inside as if nothing had happened.
The troupe leader walked ahead, her gaze first falling on the floor in front of the desk. The water stains had dried, but they left faint marks, thankfully not very noticeable.
If nothing strange, like underwear, was left behind, then it should be fine.
Because of her guilty conscience, the head of the troupe was focused on those shameful things and completely ignored the other problems in the office.
For example, her chair was not placed neatly in the center of the desk, but was pushed to the side, making the desk look a bit messy, especially in the center.
Lisa is an extremely intelligent woman, and she noticed these details at a glance. She tried to deduce in her mind what exactly happened in the office, but she just couldn't figure it out.
No matter how smart she is, she cannot deduce things beyond her understanding. Her knowledge of matters between men and women is limited to descriptions in books. She could not have imagined such a scene, nor would she have thought of the troupe leader in this way.
Besides the clues on the desk, there was also a lingering, orchid-like, musky fragrance in the office that Lisa had never smelled before.
The fragrance was very faint, almost gone, and only someone with a sensitive nose like her could notice it.
All signs indicated that something must have happened in Commander Qin's office, and it was very likely related to her being late this morning, but Lisa couldn't guess exactly what it was.
She calmly handed the documents in her hand to Commander Qin, but did not question him further; she simply made a mental note of the matter.
The troupe leader later noticed some inconsistencies in the mess on the chairs and desks. She took a closer look at Lisa's expression and, seeing that she didn't seem to care, breathed a sigh of relief.
To divert Lisa's attention, the ensemble leader changed the subject: "By the way, Lisa, in a few days Sumeru is going to hold a Flower Goddess Birth Festival to celebrate the Little Grass God's birthday. I'm planning to go with Barbara to take a look. Do you want to come along?"
"The Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival? This celebration hasn't been held for many years. Have those old fogies in the Faculty of Orders finally seen the light?" Lisa was slightly surprised.
"You probably don't know this yet, but the Great Sage of the Order of the Church attempted to usurp the divine throne, but was suppressed and subdued by the Little Grass God. Now, the affairs of Sumeru are all handled by the Little Grass God personally."
"Is that so? Hazard's ambitions are truly enormous!" Lisa was naturally surprised by this information and also felt the urge to go and see for herself, after all, she was once a famous genius scholar in the Faculty of Law.
"Going to take a look is no problem, but I remember Little Grass God's birthday is coming up soon, isn't it too late if we leave now?"
"If you're sure you want to go, that's fine. I have a way to get to Sumeru quickly, I'll tell you later." The leader of the Qin Guild kept her in suspense and handed the signed document to Lisa.
"Okay, just call me when it's time to leave." Lisa smiled and left the office with a flourish.
The troupe leader must be hiding something, and it probably isn't anything bad. This piqued Lisa's curiosity, but she knew that asking directly wouldn't work; she had to investigate slowly!
As soon as Lisa left, the troupe leader quickly locked the door and began cleaning up any traces in the office...
......
Lu Lin did not follow the captain of the Qin Legion back to the Knights. He went straight back to Chengehu, then took Daoqi to pick up Xiaogong and bring him to Xumi.
The fireworks display at Xiaogong Palace is a crucial part of the surprise Lu Lin prepared. The arrangement and execution of the fireworks are very important and require Xiaogong Palace to conduct an on-site inspection in Xumi City before a decision can be made.
This kind of thing can be left to the expert, Xiaogong.
Lu Lin was the type to take advantage of any opportunity, and since Xiao Gong had passed by Chen Ge Hu once, he naturally invited her to become a resident member.
With this, the number of members joining Chengehu has reached 40, marking another successful completion of the phase of membership recruitment.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing this stage of the initiation task. Reward: 4 million Mora, 5,000 points, 5,000 experience points. Host attribute: Space Mastery]
[Spatial Mastery]: The host's understanding and use of spatial laws are greatly enhanced.
[Ding! New onboarding task triggered]
[Task objective: Reach 48 members (40/48)]
[Mission Rewards: 4 million Mora, 5,000 points, 5,000 experience points, and one random host affix]
The new entry directly enhances Lu Lin's own law abilities, which seems very powerful.
Although Lu Lin can teleport through the teleportation anchor points on the earth's veins and also teleport by anchoring the location of the resident members through the Dust Song Pot, his familiarity with and mastery of the laws of space is quite average.
With the help of this entry, his mastery of the laws of space will surely improve rapidly.
After settling Xiaogong in, he began to try using the power of the laws of space.
Life, death, time, and space are four very powerful and important forces in the world of Teyvat. Given the opportunity to master one of them, Lu Lin would naturally not hesitate.
[Spatial Mastery] is a passive skill. Once acquired, Lu Lin can naturally connect with the laws of space without needing to activate it, and he can easily master some space-related skills.
For example, the teleportation that can be done anytime and anywhere is different from the teleportation that comes with the Dust Song Pot. It no longer needs to use the resident members as anchor points, but can be used at will, as long as it is a place it has been to.
For example, combat techniques based on spatial laws, sensing and breaking through small-space secret realms, and so on.
In short, this entry is a great improvement for Lu Lin.
He had been living a comfortable life during this time, but with his God's-eye view, he knew that there were many hidden dangers in Teyvat. Although he was strong, he was not strong enough to sweep everything away.
He has never stopped trying to win over the members who join the community. Besides his personal preference for pretty girls, another important reason is to improve himself through this approach.
After spending a day adapting to his newly enhanced abilities, Lu Lin returned to his residence in Sumeru City.
Xiaogong also moved in. After all, Lu Lin brought her here, so we had to arrange accommodations for her. However, the rooms were indeed a bit cramped. We didn't expect so many people to move in when we bought the place.
Hisagi Shinobu simply gave up her own room and moved into the master bedroom.
Yoomiya and Hisaki Shinobu both belong to Inazuma and are old friends who know each other well. They blended in quite quickly, and Yoomiya also has a cheerful, lively, and likable personality.
But when she discovered that more than one girl had entered Lu Lin's master bedroom that evening, she was still shocked!
Four girls just went in, right?
Back in Inazuma, Yomiya had heard Ayaka and the others talk about Lu Lin more than once, and learned a lot about him. Now it seems that those things were just the tip of the iceberg!
A young girl's curiosity is always strong, and she couldn't help but quietly come to the door of the master bedroom and listen carefully.
Chapter 434 Accompanying the Night Palace to Catch Up on Sleep, on the Eve of the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival
Gong didn't sleep well that night.
The content she heard was simply too stimulating. The sounds coming from the master bedroom were endless, and each girl's voice had its own unique characteristics, making her feel itchy and aroused.
Lu Lin's charm is undeniable; even a young girl like Xiao Gong's affection for him began to grow rapidly after just a few days of getting to know him.
In addition, since Linghua and the others often talked about Lu Lin's deeds in the past, and today she witnessed such an exciting scene, Xiaogong's heart was inevitably stirred.
She listened for two hours but couldn't take it anymore. She secretly went back to bed, but tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
......
The next day, Lu Lin took Xiao Gong to inspect the site for the fireworks display early in the morning.
"Why do you look so listless? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Lu Lin asked knowingly, looking at Xiao Gong with dark circles under his eyes and a absent-minded demeanor.
He knew perfectly well that the girl had been eavesdropping last night; no wonder she didn't sleep well.
Xiaogong dared not tell the truth, and yawned as he said, "I really didn't sleep well. Maybe it's because I'm not used to sleeping in a new place."
"Oh, is that so? How about I move you to another place?"
Xiao Gong Er Yi (Three?) Wu Y Qi? Zhou Liu "Shan 〦f Er" quickly shook his head: "No need, no need, I'll get used to it after a day or two, no need to trouble yourself."
"Why don't you rest a bit more and get back to work after you've had a good sleep!"
"No need, I can still manage. Let's finish this quickly and then go back to catch up on some sleep!"
Xiaogong insisted on starting work first, and Lu Lin didn't force him. After the two surveyed the site, Lu Lin explained his requirements, and Xiaogong had a general plan.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. Go back and rest first, and we'll start making formal arrangements once you've rested enough."
"Ugh~! Okay...!" Xiaogong yawned in response, but suddenly stumbled and fell forward.
Lu Lin caught her with lightning speed: "Xiaogong?!"
The lively and energetic girl had already fallen asleep, her eyes half-closed.
Lu Lin checked her over and found that she was just too tired and had fallen asleep, so he took her directly back to Chen Ge Hu.
Chen Ge also prepared accommodations for Xiao Gong, but since their relationship hadn't reached that point yet, Lu Lin didn't tell her for the time being.
After placing the graceful girl in red on the bed, Lu Lin thought for a moment but did not take off her clothes. Instead, he simply covered her with a thin blanket.
Xiao Gong is usually quite lively and energetic, but when she falls asleep, her sleeping face is very peaceful, with delicate and cute pink cheeks that Lu Lin couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch.
She was indeed very tired. Even after being pinched a few times, she slept very soundly and showed no signs of waking up.
Lu Lin had been working hard all night and was feeling a bit sleepy, so he simply lay down and took a nap as well.
As dusk approached, Xiao Gongyou woke up and met Lu Lin's ambiguous smile: "Awake?"
"Ugh...where am I!" The girl slowly regained consciousness and realized that she was actually sleeping in Lu Lin's arms!
"Oh no! What happened to me?!"
"You were too tired and fell asleep, so I brought you back to the Dust Song Pot. I was also tired, so we took a nap together."
