Gong Mingyue was drawn to her smile; her eyes held a hint of mischief and playfulness. "It's not surprising that this happened to Xiao Jiu'er!"

"It seems Yin Han has encountered someone from a higher plane. However, to find out what happened, we'll probably have to wait until Yin Han wakes up!"

A strange look seemed to appear on Gong Mingyue's usually indifferent expression, and his eyes became somewhat subtle.

“Little Jiu’er, you’ve exposed the matter of the dragon. Even if those people don’t know that you are Feng Lan’s daughter, they will still come looking for you. Once they find you, they will very likely expose that you are Feng Lan’s daughter.”

As Gong Mingyue spoke, he took out a veil and helped Ji Jiuying put it on. After it was tied, he disappeared from her face.

"What's this?"

"This is a veil that can cover your face. If you wear it, no one will think you look like anyone else."

Even Gong Mingyue said that, and she still doesn't understand? That would be stupid!

Sensing something, Gong Mingyue took Ji Jiuying's hand and walked out of the palace.

Outside the door, Gong Mingyue glanced at the masked men and said coldly, "When Yin Han wakes up, send him back to Cangyue Kingdom."

"yes!"

Then he pulled Ji Jiuying onto the Fire Qilin.

The night was deep and all was quiet. The moonlight cast long shadows on the Moon-Viewing Tower of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.

Looking at the person in front of her, Ji Jiuying guessed that this must be the Longyang that Gong Mingyue had mentioned!

Meanwhile, Longyang was also observing Ji Jiuying. When he saw his master, who was usually indifferent to women, holding a woman's hand, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"How's the investigation going?" Gong Mingyue asked coldly.

"Reporting to Master, there is indeed a person named Feng Lan in the Feng family, and she is the eldest daughter of the Feng family, but she has been missing for fifteen years!"

"I have also discovered that the Feng family has an ancestral rule that the first daughter born in each generation is to be revered as a saintess. She cannot marry or leave home. After the saintess's fifteenth birthday, she will be imprisoned in the tomb forever until her death! This is to ensure the continued prosperity of the Feng family!"

"And Feng Lan was the previous Holy Maiden, who disappeared on the eve of her fifteenth birthday!"

Ji Jiuying frowned upon hearing this. Absurd, utterly absurd! A living person, in the prime of their life, was imprisoned in a tomb until death? And they even claimed to bless the Feng family's descendants with lasting prosperity? It was utterly insane. Ji Jiuying instantly felt extreme disgust for the Feng family.

There was still one thing she didn't understand: if she counted the days since her mother disappeared, she hadn't even been born yet, so how did those people know she existed?

What does she want from her? Her intuition told her that things were definitely not that simple!

Also, is her mother, Feng Lan, still alive? It seems we need to start this investigation with Ji Chenyuan.

Feeling her hand being held tightly, Ji Jiuying looked up at Gong Mingyue.

"Little Jiu'er, I will help you find out the truth. Now, focus on improving your strength and report to Star Academy as soon as possible."

This was the first time Longyang had ever heard Gong Mingyue speak so gently. It seemed that the woman in front of him was very likely to be his future mistress.

Although this woman was rather weak in terms of skills, she was quite beautiful and barely worthy of her master. Of course, the most important thing was that her master liked her.

Those people in the upper realm are saying that Master has homosexual tendencies. This is quite a slap in the face!

He was only thinking about how others would be proven wrong, but little did he know that he would be proven wrong himself in the near future!

Ji Jiuying nodded.

“Master~” Longyang stood aside, hesitant to speak, and looked at Ji Jiuying.

Ji Jiuying had no questions. "Since you all have other things to do, I'll head back now. They must be very worried about my sudden disappearance today and the fact that I haven't returned for so long!"

"Little Jiu'er, wait for me outside for a moment, and I will take you back."

"No need, no need, I can go back by myself. Don't you trust me?" Ji Jiuying said with a smile.

Seeing that she was determined, he let her have her way. With her current strength, protecting herself was indeed a piece of cake.

"Be careful on the road. If you are in danger, shout to the Phoenix Frost Bracelet and I will appear!" Gong Mingyue reached out and gently rubbed her head.

Longyang was still somewhat horrified by this, and even wondered if her master had been switched with another.

"Understood!" After saying that, Ji Jiuying flew away from the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

Gong Mingyue sensed that Ji Jiuying had left the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, and the gentle look in her eyes was replaced by a chilling coldness!

He exuded a subtle yet sharp aura, and his deep eyes glanced at Longyang unintentionally.

Longyang's body stiffened slightly. This was the feeling he had. This was his master!

"Speak!" Gong Mingyue said coldly, without any emotion.

“Fairy Xin Yao goes to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers to pay homage to General Qing Cang every three days, and spends the rest of her time in the Moon Jade Palace.”

"However, Taozhi, who was by her side, would occasionally go out of the palace to buy some sacrificial offerings for her."

Gong Mingyue pondered for a moment, "Have you checked the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and the shops selling sacrificial offerings?"

"I checked, and found nothing amiss," Longyang replied respectfully.

"Hmm~ Go back and have Ziyu keep a close eye on her," Gong Mingyue said.

"Master, after investigating for so long, we haven't found any flaws in Fairy Xin Yao. Perhaps General Qing's death really has nothing to do with her?" Long Yang asked doubtfully.

"No, keep a close eye on her. Don't you know what kind of strength General Qing possesses? How could he have fallen into the enemy's trap so easily? His death is too suspicious! The most likely person to have attacked him when he was off guard is someone he was closest to and most trusted!"

Gong Mingyue spoke in a cold tone.

"yes!"

"Master... has something happened to Yin Han?" Long Yang is Yin Han's brother. The two of them have the ability to sense each other, so he clearly felt when Yin Han was on the verge of death and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, Xiao Jiu'er has already rescued him. He's currently on Chuanyun Peak in the Western Jin Kingdom," Gong Mingyue said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Longyang felt relieved! He could now focus on investigating matters in the higher plane.

Wait! Little Jiu'er? Was it that woman who saved my brother's life?

She seems to have some ability, not as weak as she appears. I'll have to thank her properly next time we meet!

Just as Ji Jiuying reached the intersection of Huanan Street, a series of subtle, well-trained footsteps approached.

In an instant, Ji Jiuying was surrounded by a group of masked men in black. These men were surrounded by a strong killing intent, and it was clear at a glance that they were a formidable assassin organization.

"We've finally waited for you, Princess Anping!" a man in black said coldly.

"Hehe~ It seems Mo Yunran has really gone all out this time! She actually sent twelve spirit generals to kill this princess!" Ji Jiuying chuckled.

The leader of the assassins was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Ji Jiuying to know about the seller, but he quickly regained his composure.

"So what if you know? You're still going to die here."

"Hehe, do you know that the worst thing for an assassin is to talk too much?" Ji Jiuying said sarcastically.
