Huang Qingling’s courtyard was much larger than the one Lin Jing lived in, and it was also specially approved by Elder Bai for the exclusive use of the family members of the stewards.
Even Steward Zheng did not make an issue out of this courtyard, because it was, after all, a privilege that came with the steward’s position.
Lin Jing followed Huang Qingling into the courtyard and then entered her boudoir behind her.
This was the first time Lin Jing had entered Huang Qingling’s boudoir.
As soon as he entered, he was immediately greeted by a burst of fragrance and involuntarily took a deep breath.
Shortly after, Lin Jing realized that his behavior might have been somewhat inappropriate.
Then, Lin Jing quickly turned his head to look at Huang Qingling and found that she was preoccupied with sulking and had not noticed his actions.
After the two of them walked in, Little Sparrow raised its head and tilted its head to look at Lin Jing, as if it couldn’t understand why Lin Jing was there.
Then, seeing Huang Qingling with a downturned face next to Lin Jing, Little Sparrow quickly drooped its head down again.
“This Little Sparrow…”
“Although it often provokes Huang Qingling to anger, it seems to be quite afraid of her.”
Lin Jing couldn’t help but let out a wry laugh.
Upon entering, Huang Qingling reminded Lin Jing,
“Be careful with what you say in front of it; Little Sparrow is very smart now and understands almost everything we say.”
“Little Sparrow’s intelligence has increased again, how did that happen?” Lin Jing asked in confusion.
“Perhaps it has encountered some adventures; I’m not too clear on the details,” Huang Qingling said helplessly.
“It’s just that recently, Little Sparrow has been constantly running outside, and since it didn’t bother you or cause any trouble…”
“So, I let my guard down and stopped paying attention to it.”
“It was during that time that Little Sparrow kept flying into the Night Mist Mountain Range, sometimes staying there for days on end without returning…”
“I think it must have had some adventures in the mountain range that made it increasingly formidable and intelligent.”
Lin Jing showed an interested expression and observed Little Sparrow curiously.
“How did Little Sparrow act as a bandit?”
Hearing Lin Jing’s words, Little Sparrow tilted its head to give him a glance and then lowered its head again.
“Act as a bandit?” Huang Qingling’s mouth twitched slightly, and then she said to Little Sparrow,
“Little Sparrow, speak…”
Little Sparrow raised its head and looked timidly at Huang Qingling, but did not utter a word.
When Lin Jing heard what Huang Qingling said, he was utterly bewildered and thought to himself,
“Little Sparrow can talk?”
“Before, it could only chirp and screech.”
Seeing that Little Sparrow dared not speak, Huang Qingling pointed her finger towards Lin Jing.
“Speak to him…”
Only then did Little Sparrow turn its head to face Lin Jing, and after a moment’s hesitation, it opened its beak and two clear-sounding words popped out,
“Stick-up…”
The voice sounded a bit strange and not very pleasant to the ears, similar to the speech of a parrot Lin Jing had heard in his previous life.
But those two words left Lin Jing stunned on the spot, taking a moment before he could regain his composure.
“So this is how Little Sparrow acts as a bandit…”
“Even knowing how to stick-up…”
This was practically reaching the realm of being spirit-touched.
Faced with Lin Jing’s astonishment, Huang Qingling spread her hands in resignation.
“You heard it yourself…”
After that…
Huang Qingling then pointed to a desk where several low-grade magic artifacts were scattered alongside some Spirit Grass and even a few Elixir Medicines, all haphazardly piled there.
“See here…”
“These are its gains from the past few days…”
