Lin Xuan Qi frowned at them and thought that it might be best to teach them a lesson.

As the saying goes, having too much curiosity kills the cat.

He smirked at them and said, "You really want to know?"

They nodded their heads.

Lin Xuan Qi waved at them, gesturing for them to come closer.

The four of them glanced at each other for a moment.

His expression told them that he was up to no good.

But they couldn't fight off the itch to get to know the truth of what Lu Ting had said to him.

It was like waiting for the story for Sun Le to continue, but Lin Xuan Qi had taken a very long break to finish it.

"Come closer."

They got close to him, but it was not enough.

Lin Xuan Qi gestured for them to get even closer to him.

The four of them didn't think much of it and huddled close together with Lin Xuan Qi.

Their heads touched each other in a circle, and Yue Xin whispered, "So... What did she say to you, Master Lin?"

Xue Cong and Yue Jie nodded their heads, held their hands up to their chests, and waited for his reply.

Liu Shi Shi, being more direct and adventurous, nudged at him.

Seeing how they were desperately trying to figure it out, Lin Xuan Qi decided to tell them the truth.

"Lu Ting had told me that..." He paused and glanced at their faces.

They were looking at him with their eyes wide open.

"And..."

Even though they wanted to find out the truth, they were also feeling happy inside.

It had been a while since they had seen him in such a playful nature.

They were more than happy to go along with him as well.

"Well, Lu Ting said that the Dragon Tail Herb with its Yang properties can help even mortals."

"Help in what way?" They frowned and asked.

It didn't sound like something so extraordinary that Lu Ting had to whisper to him.

"Heh. It helped in a way that four in a night wouldn't be an issue. Not that I need the help by the way."

Lin Xuan Qi emphasized the last sentence.

Which was the truth with his Five-Element Qi.

But it didn't get to the four of them.

They were astonished by what they had heard from him.

Xue Cong and Yue Jie's faces blushed.

For Xue Cong her mind was blank, but her mind landed on the fact that he had said that it was 'four in a night'.

Did the 'four' mean that he had seen them as his?

Yue Jie's mind went wild.

She had seen those little booklets from her sisters when she was still a young mistress.

And she had never seen one that was a man with four women.

Her heart thumped faster and faster with all the imagery that had appeared in her mind.

Not knowing that she had misunderstood what Lin Xuan Qi had meant by 'four in a night'.

Yue Xin was confused.

She thought it meant that the Yang properties of one Dragon Tail Herb could help heal the health of four men in a night.

But seeing the response from Xue Cong and Yue Jie, she wasn't too sure, and she started to have many other ideas.

Liu Shi Shi wanted to roll her eyes at him but stopped when she saw him laughing out loud.

It was certainly great to see him happy without much stress on his shoulders again.

She didn't think much about 'four in a night'.

Liu Shi Shi had thought that he wouldn't dare to attempt such a feat.

After all, he had always stopped himself before things went out of hand, and she wasn't that worried every time he teased her.

"Master Lin..." Xue Cong and Yue Jie glanced at him with a grievance look.

He shook his head and said, "You wanted to hear the truth and that's what she said to me. I did warn all of you."

Lin Xuan Qi gave them a smirk, proud that his devious plan had worked.

"Sister Yue Jie, come let's do our chores instead."

"Yes, sister Xue Cong."

Xue Cong and Yue Jie pretended to leave, but Lin Xuan Qi grabbed their hands and stopped them.

The nice garden view was better with beauties like them around.

"Stay."

They glanced at each other and relented immediately.

Both sat back down onto the seats.

Yue Jie poured everyone a cup of tea and said, "I think Master Lin wants to enjoy more of the view in the garden."

Yue Xin shrugged her shoulders and said, "I think he is more interested in those fishes."

Liu Shi Shi nodded her head.

"Yeah, that reminds me..." Lin Xuan Qi's mind got back to the fish in the pond.

His hands were itching for a fishing rod right then.

"Xue Cong, does your father know how to make a fishing rod?"

"Fishing rods? I think he does." Xue Cong said to the smile of Lin Xuan Qi.

She stood up and said, "Let me check with him."

It didn't take long for her to come back with good news.

"Master Lin, my father is making some fishing rods as we speak."

Zhi Yong was also excited about the prospect of getting to fish.

"Master Lin, me good fisherman." He thumped his chest and said.

"You sure about that?" Lin Xuan Qi asked.

Zhi Yong was certain of it, and he nodded his head at him.

Rubbing his hands, Lin Xuan Qi replied and said, "We shall see about that when the fishing rods are done."

"I want to join in too." Yue Xin said, happy that there was something new to do in the mansion.

Doing the same chores repeatedly every day in the mansion had bored her out of her mind.

She wasn't about to give up on such an opportunity.

Liu Shi Shi with her arms crossed, leaned onto the pillar of the pavilion and said, "Maybe I'm the best around here."

In her days of wandering, she had to fish for food out in the wilderness sometimes.

And she doubted that Lin Xuan Qi as a young master would have more experience in it than her.

"Huh. We shall see." Lin Xuan Qi said with his hands behind his back, walked over to the side of the pond and peered into the water.
