"Senior, what are you looking for?" She blinked and looked at him with her usually bright and beautiful eyes.

Their eyes were filled with ignorance and naivety.

The old man ignored the girl and simply said, "Don't bother me while I'm looking for something. Go find somewhere cool to stay."

His tone was extremely arrogant.

After saying that, he continued to grope around on the ground.

While touching it, he muttered under his breath, "It's a ghost, it's a ghost. I just accidentally fell here, how could it be gone?"

Yan Shi, who was standing to the side, clearly recognized the master as well.

Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Tang gave him a warning look.

Yan Shi immediately covered his mouth.

This is the head of Shensuan Mountain! He remembered this old man.

Very arrogant.

Moreover, this old man particularly likes the Seventh Prince, and also likes the third daughter of Duke Xiao, and hates the Regent the most.

No one knows whether the Seventh Prince spoke ill of the Regent to this old man, otherwise why would he suddenly hate him for no reason?

Yan Shi wanted to say something to remind the princess, but he saw the princess raise her small hand and wave it gently, which meant that he should leave.

Yan Shi pursed his lips, helpless, and turned to leave.

Xiao Tang took out the book she had found from her bosom.

"Is this what the master is looking for?"

The old sect leader, who was struggling with his decision, was about to glare at Xiao Tang, who had spoken up casually, when he casually raised his eyes and suddenly stopped.

He stared at the book in Xiao Tang's hand, his eyes gradually narrowing into slits, a shrewd glint visible in them.

He paused for a moment, then scrambled to his feet and tried to snatch the book from Xiao Tang's hands.

However, Xiao Tang seemed to have already guessed his next move, and casually dodged the old man's outstretched hand.

"You, you little brat, you took my things and you don't even want to return them?"

He finished speaking angrily, his whole face radiating rage.

"Don't you understand the principle of returning lost property?"

Oh ho, you even lectured her?

Xiao Tang found it slightly amusing and raised the book in her hand, "I didn't say I wouldn't return it to you. Your agitation makes it seem like I stole it from you."

"Hmph, brat, give me back my book, and I'll give you a superb medicinal herb."

Xiao Tang was naturally pleased with the old man's straightforwardness.

In fact, after she had looked through the contents of that book, she had the system record it.

If you want to know this information again later, the system will simply tell you.

In this way, she wouldn't have to put in any effort.

She specifically looked at the page about Di Jingling's Gu poison.

The medicinal herbs mentioned above are all quite difficult to obtain, and some of them only exist in legends, let alone be found in reality.

However, the head of Shensuan Mountain must have a lot of medicinal herbs in his possession.

They are all rare and unusual medicinal materials.

She smiled and said, "Since you've said that, you can't go back on your word."

"Go back on your word? What a joke! We, the people of Shensuan Mountain, never go back on our word or lie!"

Suddenly, a loud bang came from the sky.

The roof was kicked down!

Several masked men dressed in black descended from the sky.

Seeing this, the old man secretly cried out, "Oh no, we're doomed."

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Tang.

"You have to protect me, otherwise, don't even think about getting this amazing medicinal herb from me."

The man in black had clearly located the old man and immediately made his move!

A close call!

Xiao Tang overturned the tables and chairs at the banquet, blocking the oncoming swords and blades.

A few swish sounds.

The finest wooden items were all broken.

Xiao Tang immediately grabbed the old man and ran out.

Yan Shi heard the commotion and rushed over.

"Your Highness, what's wrong..." He looked up and saw the black-clad assassins approaching.

The man's expression instantly turned sharp. "Your Highness, leave this to me. You may leave now."

"Huh?" The old man stared at Yan Shi.

He felt that Yan Shi looked somewhat familiar.

He was old and couldn't remember where he had seen this young man before.

He pointed at Yan Shi with a somewhat odd expression.

Xiao Tang wasn't in the mood to argue with him and shoved him into the carriage.

With the skills of Yan and his eleven, they will surely be able to deal with those masked assassins.

but……

She glanced back at the old man with disdain. "Master, are you really from Shensuan Mountain?"

Or is he the sect leader?

That's a bit too wasteful.

Whenever outsiders mention Shensuan Mountain, everyone always feels a sense of awe towards its leader.

Over time, she was also brainwashed by those rumors, believing that the sect leader was a serious and powerful dignified elder.

Looking back now, she was overthinking it.

The old man pulled back the carriage curtain and poked his head out.

"I am the genuine leader of the Divine Calculation Mountain!"

"Little girl, since you saved me, please don't disbelieve me."

Xiao Tang rolled her eyes.

If she hadn't possessed the cheat code of knowing the plot, she really wouldn't have believed that this old man was the sect leader.

Is it really that lacking in prestige?

She gave a soft hum and quickened the pace of the carriage.

Although it was her first time driving a carriage, she had mastered the skill entirely on her own in order to get to the Regent's Palace as quickly as possible.

When the carriage arrived at the Regent's Palace...

The old man got off the carriage and thanked her repeatedly: "Little girl, you're really good."

"To thank you, I..."

His voice abruptly stopped.

Looking up, I saw the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

This is the gate of the Regent's Palace; he recognized it at a glance!

He paused, his hand, which was about to remove his thumb ring, and stared at Xiao Tang in astonishment: "You...you are the Regent's wife?"
