Qin Ruan's calm eyes fixed on the window outside, where the cold and malignant Evil Qi lingered. She couldn't help but wonder if this aura of evil presence existed in the villa area itself, or if it had arisen because of her arrival.
She always felt as if something was watching her, and the feeling was intense.
With an icy expression and eyes drooping to appear harmless, Qin Ruan said to He Mingjin, "I'll take that painting from downstairs with me. In the future, make sure to have someone examine old items before bringing them into the house. The times are troubled, it's better to be careful and cautious."
These were not mere words—evil spirits in the Human Realm had indeed been on the rise; the times truly were troubled.
He Mingjin didn't grasp the deeper meaning of her words; he tugged at the corner of his lips and asked politely, "Then may I ask the Third Young Madam to examine items for me next time?"
Qin Ruan responded, "Of course."
