Chapter 345 - Stealing requires professional skills (2)
Before half an hour has passed, Wen Wan was actually pulling Ning Yuxuan back towards the study. Ji Man watched as the two of them entered the courtyard. She had been right to not trust Wen Wan. Wen Wan was quietly bringing Ning Yuxuan back to the study so soon after leaving with them. If she had really been inside and searching for the signature seal, she would have been doomed once Marquis Moyu opened the study's doors.
”Marquis.” Guibai was standing in front of the study's doors, and he pushed open the doors for them.
Wen Wan had Marquis Moyu enter the study first, but there was no sign of activity inside the room at all. It was only when Ning Yuxuan asked where Teacher Ji had gone that Ji Man raise her hand and said, ”This one is out here enjoying the moonlight.”
They were partition by a short distance, and the sky was dark, so it wasn't possible to clearly see the other person's expression. Although Ji Man couldn't know for sure what kind of expression Wen Wan was currently showing, she could tell that Wen Wan stood in place for a long time before following Marquis Moyu outside.
Ning Yuxuan looked at Wen Wan as he said, ”If there's nothing else, you can go back first.”
Wen Wan was somewhat unwilling. She looked at Ji Man several times, but in the end, she could only stamp her feet and leave.

This was man was too cunning. It seemed that he wouldn't be easy to deal with. As Wen Wan recollected that intimate scene in the study, she felt as if ants were chewing her heart, liver, lungs, and spleen. Even if she had to ignore the order given by the master, she wouldn't allow Marquis Moyu be snatched away by a man! His heart only had her. She was forever the only person that could be allowed in heart!

Ji Man returned to her room, and the person hidden in the corner reported, ”There isn't any secret space in the study, and the signature seal couldn't be found either.”
It had taken the professional less than half an hour to thoroughly search the study. Ji Man sighed. If it wasn't in the study, then it had to be in the bedroom. If it was in the bedroom, then she could only depend on Wen Wan.

They met in the garden the next morning. Wen Wan was frowning as she said, ”Teacher Ji, why didn't you follow our plan to search for that item?”
Ji Man responded with a smile. ”This one already looked for it. It's not in the study.”
”Teacher Ji, you clearly weren't inside the study looking for that item yesterday.” It was obvious from Wen Wan's expression that she was very displeased. ”You wasted Wan-er's efforts.”
”Someone else looked through the study for me.” Ji Man continued to have a warm smile as she said, ”Otherwise, since the marquis had returned in under half an hour, there would be no way for this one to safely leave the study.”
Startled, Wen Wan averted her gaze. ”What will we do now then?”
”Mistress Wan, there are times when you're favored, right?” Ji Man said in a low voice, ”Go to the marquis's bedroom to look around.”
Wen Wan's face turned red. ”The marquis hasn't visited anyone in his harem in a long time.”
