That night, Ye Tiancheng went to see Ou Xiaoxue again. He had a specific reason for visiting her. The matter concerned visiting Ou Xiaoxue's villa tomorrow. Although Ou Xiaoxue could not accompany them, it didn't mean she couldn't help at all.
This time, what Ye Tiancheng and the little fox needed to explore was not an unknown territory. At least, before they actually went, Ou Xiaoxue could draw a structural diagram of the villa's interior.
After all, a villa was quite large, and there was no telling if there might be structures they wouldn't immediately know about. Getting a preliminary understanding was better than blindly rushing in once they arrived.
Upon hearing Ye Tiancheng's request, Ou Xiaoxue's spirits immediately lifted. She had been feeling uneasy about not being able to help, and now that she could, she was naturally enthusiastic. She readily agreed and, together with Ye Tiancheng, they discussed and drew the villa's interior structural diagram.
When it came to familiarity with one's own home, under normal circumstances, besides the villa's designer, few people would know it better than Ou Xiaoxue, the villa's owner.
Of course, some wealthy individuals might not be fully familiar with their own homes. However, Ou Xiaoxue's situation was different. This villa was not just a house to her; it was a home she had lived in for many years. Therefore, from a certain perspective, she knew it like the back of her hand.
Even the villa's designer couldn't know it better than her. After all, wealthy people who moved into villa districts rarely didn't make private renovations. Naturally, the owner would know the most about what was inside the house.
Ou Xiaoxue meticulously recalled every detail of her villa, fearing any omissions while drawing.
As Ye Tiancheng watched from the side, he felt that although this young girl was a bit carefree, she was quite outstanding in other aspects.
He thought to himself that he himself couldn't draw such a beautiful structural diagram. Moreover, Ou Xiaoxue's drawing was clear and organized, the structural diagram was easy to understand, and the annotations were very detailed. She had clearly marked the positions of many important items.
Although Ou Xiaoxue mentioned to Ye Tiancheng while drawing that due to the recent events, she couldn't be entirely sure if everything was still in its original place, the annotations provided guidance. At least Ye Tiancheng would know that such an item existed. Perhaps these items could be of help when Ye Tiancheng and the little fox went there.
Ye Tiancheng looked at Ou Xiaoxue drawing the structural diagram with admiration. After finishing, Ou Xiaoxue carefully checked it several times before finally handing it over to Ye Tiancheng.
She said, "Everything I can remember is in here. There shouldn't be any omissions. Brother Ye, please take a look. Is there anything else you want to know that I haven't considered? If so, I might be able to add it."
Ye Tiancheng nodded, took the structural diagram, and examined it closely. He couldn't find any fault with it. Ou Xiaoxue had indeed drawn it very well, leaving him with nothing more to say. Ye Tiancheng then told Ou Xiaoxue, "I don't think there are any problems. At least, this will be completely sufficient for my and the little fox's investigation tomorrow."
"If there are any unexpected changes tomorrow, or if there's anything else we want to know, we'll come back and ask you after we return."
Ou Xiaoxue naturally had no objections and frankly told Ye Tiancheng, "Of course, Brother Ye. Anything you and Brother Ye Li want to know, you can come and ask me again. I will tell you everything I know without reservation."
Ye Tiancheng nodded in response and didn't say anything else. It was late at night, and after finishing this task, Ye Tiancheng was too lazy to probe Ou Xiaoxue further or ask her more questions.
There was no need. He had plenty of opportunities to test Ou Xiaoxue. There was no rush to do so on such a night. The night was already very deep, and as a man, it wasn't appropriate for him to stay in Ou Xiaoxue's tent for too long.
As for the villa structural diagram drawn by Ou Xiaoxue, Ye Tiancheng regarded it with a degree of trust.
Although the current situation was too bizarre, and every involved person was under suspicion, until the truth was fully revealed, everyone was suspected, including Ou Xiaoxue, who was not entirely without doubt.
However, this primary line of thought stemmed from his lack of understanding of Ou Xiaoxue. In fact, it was the same reason for every suspect.
After all, if these matters were truly related to a group of underage children, with their young minds, it wouldn't be easy to completely hide their involvement from an adult like Ye Tiancheng. He would eventually see through everything and understand it clearly.
After receiving the villa structural diagram, Ye Tiancheng expressed his gratitude to Ou Xiaoxue. Then, Ye Tiancheng and Ou Xiaoxue bid each other goodnight, and Ye Tiancheng took his leave, departing from Ou Xiaoxue's tent.
The reason why Ye Tiancheng could trust this villa structural diagram, even without knowing Ou Xiaoxue's innocence, was that even if Ou Xiaoxue had something to hide, most of the structural diagram should still be credible.
After all, if Ou Xiaoxue truly had issues and made obvious alterations to something like this, it would mean she was not very intelligent and not worth fearing. Sensible people wouldn't do something so foolish. Tampering with such a document would be equivalent to openly declaring, "I am not innocent; I have a problem."
In Ou Xiaoxue's current situation, if she were problematic and hiding her issues, she would be even less likely to tamper with something so obvious. The villa structural diagram was something only she could draw. If there were problems with what she drew herself, then she alone would be held accountable.
Therefore, even after Ye Tiancheng returned, the little fox didn't say much after looking at the villa structural diagram.
In fact, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox could both tell if there were any issues with Ou Xiaoxue's villa structural diagram.
Ye Tiancheng had entered that villa three times with Ou Xiaoxue. Once was to accompany her to retrieve her phone, once was this morning to help her pack daily necessities and clothes, and a third time was this afternoon. Although not explicitly mentioned, Ye Tiancheng had secretly gone in to explore.
Anyway, he had gone there in the afternoon. Relying on his strong abilities and being alone, he had no reservations and went in to take a look.
As for the little fox, although he hadn't been to the villa three times like Ye Tiancheng, having only gone once, he was intelligent and had a good memory. When accompanying Ou Xiaoxue to pack her belongings, he had entered many rooms for that reason, and could remember most of them.
Both of them could cross-reference their own knowledge of the villa's interior structure. Naturally, with just a glance, they could tell if there were any problems with the parts they had visited.
As long as there were no significant issues at first glance, this villa structural diagram proved to be largely usable. And with Ou Xiaoxue drawing it so clearly, if there were no problems with this structural diagram, it would be truly very practical.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox rested for the night to recharge their energy. The next day, they brought sufficient supplies. The little fox, in particular, needed talismans to utilize his abilities, so he was fully equipped and appeared to be the most prepared.
Before they left, Ou Xiaoxue had breakfast with Ye Tiancheng and the little fox. She then accompanied them for a short distance but didn't dare to go too far, as she would get lost if she went any further.
Ou Xiaoxue remained behind. Ye Tiancheng entrusted the task of observing Ou Xiaoxue to the Nuwa Stone, as it was the most suitable job for it.
If Ou Xiaoxue truly had any issues, then at this moment, with Ye Tiancheng and the little fox absent, it was the perfect opportunity for her to relax. The Nuwa Stone could immediately tell if she had any problems.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox spent the morning there and didn't rush back. They didn't need to return for lunch, as they had brought food with them to eat at the villa. As for Ou Xiaoxue, Ye Tiancheng had also left her food for lunch, ensuring she wouldn't go hungry.
The purpose of this visit was similar to casing the joint. On one hand, it was to confirm if Ou Xiaoxue's structural diagram had any issues. On the other hand, it was to understand the situation of all the evil spirits present in the villa and where the fragments of the Fuxi Qin might possibly be.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox explored the house for a while. It couldn't be said that they had no gains. The evil spirits were not thoroughly investigated, likely because they didn't want to conflict with Ye Tiancheng and the others, sensing that they were formidable and thus choosing to actively hide and evade. In such circumstances, even someone as capable as the little fox couldn't immediately ascertain the situation.
After all, hidden evil spirits were genuinely difficult to find. And if they couldn't even be found, it wouldn't be easy to determine their numbers or their nature.
As for the Fuxi Qin fragments, Ye Tiancheng was quite troubled. This time, the Fuxi Qin fragments were not as easy to find as the previous ones. After entering the cave and defeating the giant lizard, he could directly access the Fuxi Qin fragments, which were in a very conspicuous location.
However, it was predictable that Ou Xiaoxue's Fuxi Qin fragments would not be so easy to find. After all, such items had a strong presence. If they were in a very conspicuous place, they surely couldn't be hidden, and Ou Xiaoxue would have discovered them long ago. At the very least, as the owner of the villa, she would definitely have found them.
Despite Ye Tiancheng searching the entire villa and cross-referencing it with Ou Xiaoxue's drawn structural diagram, the diagram itself had no issues. Most details were clear. Only some movable items might have been displaced due to Ou Xiaoxue's recent experiences, but they were still findable. Ye Tiancheng had brought a pen and made on-site modifications.
However, it was regrettable that after Ye Tiancheng confirmed that the Fuxi Qin fragments were nowhere to be found, he felt somewhat disheartened. It seemed this time it wouldn't be so easy.
