"Someone come here."

A group of masked assassins rushed into the room. The Lingjiu Pavilion Master's lips curled up, his face full of arrogance. "Since the deal has fallen through, and the Regent has graced us with his presence, how can I possibly be negligent?"

The man in the black robe threw it aside, revealing his true appearance.

Murong Jin's eyes held a dark smile. "Then it is my fault for coming uninvited."

"Catch them."

"Xie Yunzhi".

Yi Liu drew his sword. The Lingjiu Pavilion Master saw this and was about to tell him to deal with Murong Jin when he saw Xie Yunzhi rushing towards him.

"Are you planning a rebellion?"

Yi Liu's eyes were icy cold: "I'm sorry, I was just killing someone for my master."

He then discovered that he had only been away from Lingjiu Pavilion for a few days, and the assassins around him had already changed their forms.

Murong Jin sat there drinking tea, watching a few people confront the respected Pavilion Master who numbered so many, and shook his head slightly.

It looks rather pitiful.

"Secret guards, they're all secret guards... Hahaha, Murong Jin, you've got a good plan!"

Murong Jin stood up, a smile playing on her lips, and said modestly, "You flatter me."

Looking at the captured person, Murong Jin said, "Take him away."

The moment the guards were being led away, the pavilion master suddenly vomited blood in the center of the floor.

Murong Jin looked at the blood on his lips.

"Even if I die, I will never reveal the truth."

Evil Eye had already changed direction long ago.

Murong Jin curled her lips, "Sorry, your subordinate has most likely already been dismembered..."

"And this matter seems to have been designed by me."

The pavilion master's eyes widened, his voice filled with terror, "You..."

"Furthermore, the Evil Eye that you obtained was already moved to another location by me when the news was released at Zhenguo Temple."

"From beginning to end, the evil eye you obtained has always been fake."

He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Murong Jin's gaze fell on the person who had suddenly died with wide-open eyes.

The prisoner's resilience is too weak; it's a mystery how he became the head of the Lingjiu Pavilion.

His tone was cold. "Drag him away."

Yi Liu: "Master, this Lingjiu Pavilion?"

Murong Jin remained expressionless and said solemnly, "It belongs to me."

Yi Liu's lips twitched, then he bowed respectfully, immediately switching his attitude, "Yes, Pavilion Master."

Murong Jin's lips curled up slightly. "Then I'll trouble Young Master to help me clean up the mess."

Yi Liu: "Yes."

………

Yu Jing'er sat in the chair, "Wow, just like that, you took over Lingjiu Pavilion?"

Dai Lingyuan: "When did you start planning this? If you're saying that, you started planning before we even went to Ruijing Sect?"

Murong Jin glanced at the girl still hanging in the air, "That's right."

Then he said to Huo Yun'er, "Yun'er, if you don't come down soon, you'll feel dizzy."

"Oh oh oh (?_?)"

Huo Yun'er jumped down from above, and Dai Lingyuan instantly teleported to the center of the hall, catching the girl who was falling.

Huo Yun'er looked at him, climbed off him, and said, "Thank you, thank you."

Dai Lingyuan withdrew his hand, his eyes concealing an unreadable emotion: "You're welcome, but Miss Yun'er, please don't do such dangerous things next time. Even if you want to do it, you should find a reliable person by your side."

Huo Yun'er smiled, revealing two dimples, "I understand, I understand."

She walked a few steps and stood obediently beside Murong Jin, but a glint of light flickered in her eyes.

"Now that the issues with Lingjiu Pavilion and Ruijing Sect have been resolved, what should we do next?"

Murong Jin took a sip of tea. "Lure the snake out of its hole."

...

When Li Mingzhong arrived at the Regent's Palace, he was filled with awe at the sight of the rows of guards standing behind Murong Jin, their imposing presence inspiring awe in him.

"Your Highness."

"Prime Minister, please have a seat. I have something to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister said, "In that case, how can that person come out? I heard that you, an old minister of the Ruijing Sect, have already discussed this with people in the martial arts world, and it is currently being dealt with. As for the Lingjiu Pavilion, it is not so easy to resolve."

A mysterious assassin's den; all that is known is that this place exists, but its exact location remains a mystery.

Murong Jin hummed in agreement. "I will handle the rest of the matters slowly. As for the matter I just mentioned, I'll leave it to you to resolve."

Li Mingzhong: "Very well, I will do my best."

...

After Li Mingzhong left, Yu Jing'er sat on Murong Jin's lap and said, "Your Highness, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to lie to him like this?"

"I don't need any other reason to do what I want."

Yu Jing'er kissed her on the cheek and whispered in her ear, "Honestly, if you were a man, I would fall in love with you."

Murong Jin reached out and pinched her chin, his voice low and deep, "What? Can't women be loved?"

Yu Jing'er: "I don't have that thought, but I respect that."

On the other side of the corridor, Huo Yun'er was dumbfounded as she watched Yu Jing'er kiss her brother.

"Yuan'er! Look, look! I think Jing'er might, probably will, become my sister-in-law!"

Having already disguised himself as Yuan'er, Dai Lingyuan's gaze fell on the two people not far away. He was disdainful in his heart, but he said aloud that he agreed, "I think so too."

"Jing'er, please bear with those people in Lingjiu Pavilion who have been infected with Gu worms."

Yu Jing'er nodded, "No problem. I was just about to ask what the Gu worms inside them are. Leave this to me."

The Evil Eye was retrieved by the Regent of the Great Cheng Dynasty, Murong Jin. This news spread in secret, and those who were not interested naturally continued to live their lives as usual.

As for those interested, besides the Ruijing Sect, other sects operating behind the scenes were also interested in this matter and naturally wanted to make some changes.

Meanwhile, within the imperial court, some people were naturally also stirring with ambition.

Ming Qingxuan looked at the extra prisoners and fell silent.

"You're saying this was sent by Yi Liu? And all the evidence has been gathered; all that's left is to determine the jail time and punishment?"

"Yes, sir, there are murderers among them..."

"By the way, Lord Yi Liu is currently in the front hall."

When Ming Qingxuan arrived, he saw Yi Liu sitting in his seat drinking tea, looking like an old-fashioned man.

"Lord Ming."

"Besides the prisoners, the others..."

Yi Liu: "Unfortunately, he died."

Ming Qingxuan: "..." He knew it. After all, he had just glanced at the evidence, and most of the people involved were not sentenced to death, and the prisoners had special markings on their bodies...

They were members of some organization, and Yi Liu and his men wiped them out in one fell swoop. Those who resisted were killed by Yi Liu and his men.

"I will deal with these people according to the law. As for the others, I know nothing about them."

Yi Liu hummed in agreement, stood up, turned around, and prepared to leave, finally uttering a hurtful remark, "You didn't know anyway."

Ming Qingxuan: "..."
