"Hah, an alcohol allergy can be fatal, Granny, do you want me to die?" Xiao Yifei stared at the old woman and spoke word by word. On the surface, he was saying this, but in fact, Xiao Yifei was implying something.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the old woman holding the wine glass paused immediately. After a long while, she awkwardly said, "How could that be? Since you can't drink, I won't force you." Saying this, she put down the wine glass, but the unwillingness on her face was crystal clear to Xiao Yifei.

"What is it, Granny, do you feel it's a waste? You look unhappy, why don't you drink it yourself? It would be a pity to waste it," Xiao Yifei said with a sly smile. Hearing this, the old woman's face darkened, and she quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need."

Seeing this, Xiao Yifei chuckled secretly but said nothing more and continued eating. Thinking of using the drugging trick, it's too early for that. After finishing his meal, Xiao Yifei didn't say much and went straight back to his room.

Back in his room, Xiao Yifei pondered over the old woman's reaction. Xiao Yifei was now almost certain that this elderly woman definitely had designs on the sheepskin scroll; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for her to act this way. Could it be because of the treasure within it? Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but nod.

Indeed, people die for wealth just as birds die for food, and this old woman must also be after the treasure, which is why she's acting like this. Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei sneered, but then he considered another problem: why did the old woman know where the sheepskin scroll was but didn't get it herself?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but frown. There was no need to go to such great lengths to let a stranger take it and then snatch it from his hands. It would be not only troublesome but also risky. For a moment, this question became something Xiao Yifei couldn't figure out.

Why did the old woman go to such great lengths to obtain the sheepskin scroll?

At this time, the old woman looked at the well-lit room of Xiao Yifei, gritting her teeth viciously before returning to her own room. Meanwhile, Xiao Yifei in his room was completely unaware of everything outside. He was quite exhausted from a day's travel, so he soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, the quiet mountains were anything but peaceful, with the noisy chirping of insects and the sound of wind rustling the leaves. In one house, someone found it difficult to sleep. A figure slowly emerged from their room, appearing to have the posture of an elderly person.

With a hunched body, the person suddenly rushed to another room's window and peeked inside, only to find that Xiao Yifei was sleeping soundly on the bed. Indeed, the figure outside was the elderly woman whom Xiao Yifei had encountered. If Xiao Yifei hadn't known her true nature, he might not have sensed anything peculiar.

But now, the old woman was like a hungry wolf targeting the sheepskin scroll, while Xiao Yifei, unaware, was like a lamb sleeping soundly with no idea of the outside world.

Seeing how deeply Xiao Yifei was sleeping, the old woman chuckled softly, but even in the deep night, the laughter seemed exceedingly eerie. Slowly approaching the main door, the old woman pulled out the room's key, every motion as cautious as possible, and carefully unlocked it.

The old woman entered Xiao Yifei's room, and upon listening closely, she could even hear his snores. It seemed Xiao Yifei was indeed sleeping deeply. Thinking this, the old woman felt a sense of joy. The deeper Xiao Yifei slept, the better her chances would be. She eagerly hoped that Xiao Yifei would not wake up.

However, just as she was thinking this, Xiao Yifei on the bed moved. The old woman froze in place, too scared to breathe, fearing that Xiao Yifei might wake up at any moment.

However, Xiao Yifei just lightly turned over without waking up. Seeing this, the old woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued stealthily approaching Xiao Yifei. It wasn't clear how much time passed before she finally reached his bedside. At this time, Xiao Yifei's eyes were tightly shut, and his lips curled slightly upwards, as if he were having a pleasant dream.

Seeing Xiao Yifei like this, the old woman instantly relaxed. She initially thought Xiao Yifei was a vigilant person because he managed to dodge her poisoned wine at the dinner table under the pretext of an alcohol allergy, but now it seemed he likely had just gotten lucky then.

With that thought, the old woman began examining Xiao Yifei, wanting to find where he had placed the sheepskin scroll. However, after looking around, she still couldn't find any trace of it. Frowning, she wondered where the sheepskin scroll could have gone.

Just then, Xiao Yifei moved again, slowly turning over, but this move revealed the sheepskin scroll on him. Seeing this scene, the old woman almost burst out laughing: this fool had no awareness of defense at all.

After a long while, Xiao Yifei's snores sounded again. Hearing this sound, the old woman was reassured as she glanced at him and then at the sheepskin scroll behind him. Her eyes gleamed as if she wanted to take it back right away, but the current situation didn't allow for casual moves.

The old woman carefully stretched out her hand, the target being, of course, the sheepskin scroll. "What are you doing?" At this moment, a man's voice suddenly filled the quiet, dark room. Needless to say, the voice was from Xiao Yifei. Hearing this, the old woman was instantly dumbfounded. She thought he was asleep, yet he suddenly spoke; it caught her completely off guard.

At this moment, cold sweat broke out on the old woman. She was frozen in place, not daring to move, afraid of startling Xiao Yifei. However, after an eternity, Xiao Yifei only uttered this one sentence and said nothing further. Seeing this, the old woman frowned and looked at Xiao Yifei.

It turned out that Xiao Yifei had just spoken in his sleep. Realizing this, the old woman gritted her teeth viciously. This man always seemed to be like this, she thought angrily, deciding to treat Xiao Yifei as a fool. She swiftly reached out to grab the sheepskin scroll.

But this time, the old woman really hadn't thought it through. Just as she was about to touch the scroll, her hand was suddenly caught, unable to move an inch further. Feeling the strength from the hand that held hers, the old woman looked at Xiao Yifei in disbelief. His right hand was firmly extended, holding her hand tight.

Seeing this scene, the old woman suddenly didn't know what to say. It seemed pointless to say anything now. Xiao Yifei quietly sat up, smirking coldly at her. The evidence was clear, and he wanted to see what else the old woman had to say. So Xiao Yifei didn't speak, just silently watched her.

After a while, the old woman awkwardly smiled and said, "I was checking if you're cold and wanted to cover you with a quilt." Hearing this, Xiao Yifei sneered and then pulled the sheepskin scroll from behind with his other hand. "Cover me with a quilt? I think you want this," Xiao Yifei said, shaking the sheepskin scroll in his hand.
