There was a special fragrance coming from within the room, as well as the steady breathing of the person in the room. Yang Rui determined that this was the residence of a woman.
At this moment, Yang Rui's entire body was unbearable. Furthermore, it was the middle of the night and it was inconvenient. After discovering the general situation, Yang Rui retreated without hesitation at the first moment.
Coincidentally, there were noises coming from behind him. Yang Rui once again felt his way toward a neighboring house. However, this house had a bolt on the door. Yang Rui felt a few more places in a row, but they were all the same.
Behind him, more and more people woke up in the night after hearing the noise. Yang Rui felt his way to the end of a row of houses. In terms of strength, Yang Rui was not afraid of the people of the Qiao House. However, he was not there to kill and steal. He was only there to investigate. Any attack would be inappropriate.
Yang Rui felt his body heat up. He understood what kind of feeling this was and faintly thought of some reasons. However, now was not the time to delve into this matter.
At the end of the house, a large body of water appeared in front of his eyes. It was the man-made lake that Yang Rui had discovered during his investigation during the day. Even though he had not investigated it earlier, with Yang Rui's current senses, he could see it clearly.
Later on, the Qiao Estate's servants who had woken up at night to investigate felt extremely unwell. Yang Rui gently touched the surface of the lake without making the slightest sound. Then, he held his breath and floated under the surface of the lake. Even if one looked at him during the day, they wouldn't be able to see anything abnormal from the outside.
The servants of the Qiao House who had woken up to investigate later followed the house to the lakeside. However, they did not see anything unusual.
"Tomorrow, the Jiangnan Great Shang will come to the manor. Everyone, please do not delay. There are many things that need to be properly prepared …"
"…"
The servants of the Qiao House wandered around for a while. After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the servants finally settled down.
Yang Rui gradually relaxed in the water and did not immediately float to the surface. After about an hour, Yang Rui's time of holding his breath had reached its limit. Only then did he slowly emerge from the lake.
After soaking in the lake water, the heat in Yang Rui's body subsided a lot. After observing the surroundings and finding nothing unusual, Yang Rui was about to go ashore when he vaguely heard a series of footsteps coming in the direction of the artificial lake. Hence, Yang Rui took a deep breath. Then, he dove into the water again.
"Elder Sister, there's a good hot soup in the room, but you don't want to use it. Instead, you want to come to this lake to make waves. Elder Sister, go into the water yourself. What kind of scandal would it be if someone saw it? "
"Younger Sister, the joy of treading water is not something that a hot bath can compare to. Luckily, I spent a lot of effort to have Lotus teach us to tread water. At this time, the heat is unbearable. If we don't use it, when will we?"
"Aiya, Elder Sister, don't panic. Don't touch me. I will take off my clothes myself. You go into the water first …"
"Hee hee … hee hee …"
"…"
Yang Rui heard it clearly. The two people who had come were taking advantage of the night to tread water in the artificial lake of the Qiao House. Judging from the sound, they were both female and sisters.
However, there was no need for Yang Rui to listen anymore. What happened next was that the two sisters quickly took off their clothes and slowly probed their way into the artificial lake.
If the two were on the shore, Yang Rui wouldn't take the initiative to pay attention to them even if his senses were stronger. However, the situation was different when the two entered the lake and treaded water.
The area of the artificial lake wasn't too big, and the lake water was very clear. The two had just entered the water when they entered Yang Rui's field of vision. Yang Rui was so shocked that he almost couldn't hold his breath.
Yang Rui immediately turned around in the water. However, the heat that had subsided once again became violent. At this time, Yang Rui said in his heart that having a strong sense of perception wasn't always a good thing.
The situation was very sudden, but Yang Rui didn't lose his sense of propriety. He took into account that the artificial lake wasn't big. The two people treading water might reach the area near him. Yang Rui immediately leaned as close as possible to the other side of the artificial lake to avoid accidentally exposing himself.
At the same time, the two sisters treading water were very careful to avoid making any noise, so as to avoid attracting the attention of other people in the residence. However, they didn't make too much noise. Basically, no one would notice the situation here in the middle of the night.
The only problem was how long the two sisters would play. If they exceeded the time limit that Yang Rui could hold his breath, Yang Rui would have no choice but to come out of the water to take a breath. At that time, there would be a great risk of being exposed.
Time slowly passed as Yang Rui's body moved restlessly. Yang Rui's ears never stopped hearing the two sisters' playful voices. There were also some little secrets between young girls. Listening to them made Yang Rui's heart burn with anxiety.
Yang Rui tried to calm his mind and circulate the Soaring Dragon's Inner Qi Cultivation Method to suppress the heat in his body. However, the whole process had little effect. However, although Yang Rui was suffering, he relied on his natural disposition and perseverance to not do anything overboard.
At the same time, perhaps because they were young girls, the two sisters treaded water for a very long time. Only when the time limit for Yang Rui to hold his breath was almost up did the two girls get dressed and leave in a panic.
Looking at the situation, there should be someone nearby because Yang Rui also faintly heard the voice of a woman coming to report. It should be the messenger that the two sisters arranged.
Regardless, the two girls playing in the water finally left. Yang Rui held his breath and didn't immediately come out of the water. He waited until two or three people came to check. After another quarter of an hour, Yang Rui finally came out of the water.
At this point, Yang Rui had held his breath twice and stayed in the water for more than two hours. Under the unbearable heat in his body, Yang Rui simply soaked in the artificial lake for more than two hours. After feeling the heat recede, he tiptoed to the lakeside like a thief.
Yang Rui first changed his wet clothes and put on the equipment in his backpack. Then, he once again headed towards the row of houses that he had first stopped at. The place that Yang Rui had chosen to stop at was the most central area of the Qiao House. If he wanted to investigate some useful information, it was best to start from here.
Sneakily, Yang Rui felt around several houses. However, there was not a single one that wasn't bolted. At this moment, Yang Rui suddenly felt that there was a problem with the way he came to investigate. Even if he found a house that wasn't bolted, what could he find?
It would be more straightforward and straightforward to just interrogate someone in the house. There was no need for him to do something so embarrassing.
In fact, when Yang Rui was reorganizing the organization, he had thought of setting up a specialized intelligence department. However, he didn't have any suitable soldiers or candidates.
The Fifth Grade bandit leader was more suitable for this kind of work, but Yang Rui only had forty to fifty of them. It wasn't enough to set up a system.
Xu You's Earth Dao Soldiers might be able to do something like sneak in, but Earth Dao Soldiers also needed to act as a group. A single soldier couldn't do anything.
At this moment, Yang Rui couldn't enter the Castle in the Sky. When Yang Rui realized that he wouldn't be able to find anything, he quietly found a hidden place and climbed over the wall. He came to an abandoned house that he had scouted in advance and stopped there. He planned to wait until dawn to make a decision.
