Du Yunluo studied Mu Lianxiao, and from his expression, she knew he was starting to waver.
Seizing the opportunity while the iron was hot, Du Yunluo withdrew from Mu Lianxiao's embrace and picked up the lampstand on the table, heading outside.
Mu Lianxiao followed her with a smile.
Passing through the main room, Du Yunluo lifted the curtain and entered the west annex room; further inside, it became Mu Lianxiao's study in the west attic.
The beaded curtain jingled melodiously, as the beauty's lotus-like steps moved gracefully in the lamplight.
Du Yunluo placed the lampstand on a pear-wood large desk, then turned around to take a book from the bookshelf behind her, opening it to a page and spreading it on the table.
Mu Lianxiao walked to the desk and looked down at the book.
With just one glance, his eyes darkened.
It was a map of Lindong.
Du Yunluo had opened a book detailing the geography and customs of Lindong.
