Time passed quietly, and soon, thick fog filled the edge of the medicine pool, and a mysterious black shadow quietly came.

The man in black respectfully approached Xiao Jinghan and reported in a low voice, "Young Master, I have something to report to you. Xiao Xiao is a special woman; she was a government slave. Xiao Jingyi redeemed her and brought her back to Nanyi, where he meticulously taught her the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and cooking. Even more astonishing, he even taught her the techniques of transmitting intelligence and assassination! I'm truly worried that this woman might pose a threat to Young Master!"

When Xiao Jinghan heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly and he revealed a sneer: "How could His Majesty not know what we can find out? A mere official slave has attracted so much attention from Xiao Jingyi. He must be someone who has a deep hatred for His Majesty! The person who should really be worried is probably the almighty His Majesty, not us." His tone was calm, but the deep meaning contained in it made people think deeply.

The man in black lowered his head in silence, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment, he spoke again, "Young Master, you are absolutely right. However, just in case, do we need to strengthen our precautions? After all, this woman's identity is unknown, and the skills she has learned are quite dangerous. We must be on guard."

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Xiao Jinghan's eyes, and he nodded: "You have a point. Just send more people to monitor secretly, and don't alert the enemy. In addition, investigate this woman's background and make sure to get to the bottom of it. If there is a problem, we can deal with it in advance." After speaking, he closed his eyes, enjoying the soothing and relaxation brought by the medicinal soup.

As night fell and the lights came on, Xiao Jinghan, having finished his dinner, led a group of guards and strolled to the front of Zuiyue Tower. Meanwhile, Luo Lingyue was sitting leisurely on the rooftop of the restaurant, a jug of fine wine in hand, gazing down at Xiao Jinghan with a beautiful smile.

"Prince Xiao, can you come up? Do you need me to prepare a ladder for you?" Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, with a hint of teasing in it.

Xiao Jinghan smiled faintly but didn't answer. He channeled his inner strength and soared into the air like a swallow. After a few leaps and bounds, he easily reached the rooftop and landed steadily beside Luo Lingyue. However, perhaps because he had just used the Qinggong technique, his breathing was slightly unstable and he was panting slightly.

Seeing this, Luo Lingyue couldn't help but glance at him from the corner of her eye, and said with a half-smile, "It seems that Master Xiao's martial arts skills are not that good either!"

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Xiao Jinghan's face, but he quickly regained his composure and explained with a wry smile, "I was deeply affected by toxins when I was young, so it's quite difficult for me to have even this little bit of Kung Fu now."

Luo Lingyue took out another pot of wine, looked at the person in front of her, raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "Xiao Jinghan, can you drink some? This is Zui Liunian!"

Without a word, Xiao Jinghan reached out to take the wine jug, lightly clinked it with Luo Lingyue's hand, and took a large gulp. However, the next second, he suddenly started coughing violently, frowning and shouting, "This... this isn't Zui Liu Nian!"

Seeing this, Luo Lingyue raised a sly smirk, her eyes full of charm: "Why not? This is the genuine Zui Liu Nian! It's just that I tampered with it a little and added some golden cherry berries. Don't underestimate it, it's very beneficial to men's health!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinghan's originally fair cheeks instantly flushed red, like a ripe apple. Under the flickering lights of Zuiyue Tower, he looked even more like a banished immortal who had fallen into the mortal world.

Luo Lingyue gently took out the exquisite brocade box he had brought her that morning, carefully opened it, and pulled out a beautiful hairpin. Her lips curled up slightly, revealing a slightly ambiguous smile: "Prince Xiao! Could the person you're thinking of be the legendary Dark Moon Fairy?"

Xiao Jinghan's expression instantly became somewhat stiff, and his voice became slightly hoarse: "Why do you think so?"

Luo Lingyue chuckled nonchalantly and said, "I always thought the flowers on this hairpin looked familiar, but now I realize it's exactly the same as the red umbrella in Dark Moon Fairy's hand!"

Xiao Jinghan's expression remained unusually calm. He slowly explained, "Princess Luo, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. The carving on this hairpin isn't the red umbrella of Dark Moon Fairy, but the albizzia tree, which symbolizes a happy and fulfilling love."

Luo Lingyue was slightly startled: "Albizia julibrissin?"

Xiao Jinghan's tone was very calm: "After you reach the age of 15, you and I will be married! That's why I gave you this albizzia hairpin! If Princess Luo finds this a bit offensive, I can find another gift for you."

Luo Lingyue couldn't help but be stunned. She murmured, "I always thought that the person you were thinking about was her!"

Xiao Jinghan picked up the wine glass again, took a sip, then said to Luo Lingyue: "Princess Luo! It's getting late, and I should leave now!" After that, he stood up and prepared to turn around and leave.

Luo Lingyue's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, revealing a hint of worry: "Xiao Jinghan, will that woman bring you danger?" She stared at him, as if trying to find the answer from his expression.

Xiao Jinghan felt her concern, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips. He comforted her, "Don't worry, there's no need to worry too much. The secret guards sent by His Majesty have been closely monitoring her every move. If there is any abnormality, they will take action immediately. Moreover, I think she may have other intentions or purposes, and it is not just targeting me personally." His tone was calm and firm, which made people feel trusting.

After Xiao Jinghan left, Luo Lingyue sat alone on the roof, drinking and looking into the distance, with a hint of sadness and loneliness in her eyes.

At this moment, a masked man suddenly flew over. He landed lightly beside Luo Lingyue, then sat down silently. He picked up the wine jug that Xiao Jinghan had drunk from, and took a sip without hesitation.

His gaze fell on Luo Lingyue. Seeing her drunken eyes and worried expression, he couldn't help but frown. "Are you drunk? Are you worried about something?"

Luo Lingyue pouted slightly, her face full of grievance and disappointment: "Blood Shadow! I always thought that the person in his heart was Dark Moon Enchantress! After all, this way I still have a glimmer of hope! However, that was not an umbrella, but a cassia flower! Blood Shadow! Alas!" Her eyes revealed endless loneliness.

Xueying sighed helplessly and advised, "Luo Lingyue! Why don't you just tell him that you are the Dark Moon Fairy?"

Luo Lingyue shook her head gently, closed her eyes, and sighed deeply: "Xiao Jinghan is such a pure and kind person! How could he accept my identity as the killer of Dark Moon Fairy! Blood Shadow... I think I really seem to have fallen in love with him!" Her voice was full of pain and contradiction.

Xueying looked at the drunken Luo Lingyue with a frown on his face: "Maybe... he won't care that you're a killer!"

Luo Lingyue had already fallen asleep, and Xueying's words drifted away in the night wind...
