"Jiang Huai, who had been abstaining from grains for a long time, suddenly developed a liking for meat."

"Huo Qing, who is usually lazy, has suddenly become much more diligent."

"Yang Suzhi, you have a responsibility to be self-disciplined, and you are slacking off today."

"Zhao Yang, who had always been at odds with Chen Li, suddenly became friendly with him."

“Dai Songyuan…”

Ji Fengyao flipped through all the rosters, which were filled with trivial matters.

Xique glanced at her hand and said casually, "They investigated and all they found was this stuff about eating, drinking, and relieving themselves. What's the use of that?"

"It may seem useless at first glance, but it is actually useful if you think about it more deeply." Ji Fengyao wrote down a few people from the list and said, "A person's habits are formed over a long period of time and cannot be easily changed without special reasons. We need to pay close attention to these people."

Xi Que looked at the list written by Ji Fengyao again: "Jiang Huai, Yang Suzhi, Chen Li... No, Miss, are you sure you wrote it wrong? It's Zhao Yang whose temperament suddenly changes, not Chen Li."

“Well, let’s add Zhao Yang too,” Ji Fengyao said casually, taking a sip of her spiritual tea. “I don’t know the extent of Zhao Yang’s goodwill towards Chen Li right now, so I can’t be sure. But compared to Zhao Yang, I think Chen Li is more suspicious.”

The magpie was puzzled as to why.

An Zijin also had a look on her face as if she were asking for advice.

Using the "perspective-taking method," Ji Fengyao gently tapped the table with her slender, fair fingers as she spoke: "If you were Zhao Yang, and you really disliked Chen Li, and had disliked him for more than just a day or two, what would make you suddenly become friendly towards Chen Li overnight?"

"Unless I've lost my mind," the magpie replied without hesitation.

"Perhaps they were misled," An Zijin's answer was slightly more plausible.

“It’s also possible that he was given a fatal threat, or that the two had a heart-to-heart talk and reconciled,” Ji Fengyao analyzed clearly. “Moreover, the fundamental reason for Zhao Yang’s change lies with Chen Li. Only when Chen Li changes first will Zhao Yang’s attitude change accordingly. That’s why I say that Chen Li is more suspicious than Zhao Yang.”

“What you say makes sense, Miss. Just like the sixth princess of the Great Zhao Dynasty, Shang Chuyue, we also hated her at first. But later she was the one who realized her mistakes. We knew that she had truly repented, so Miss gave her a generous dowry.” Xi Que nodded and cited examples from the past.

“I understand. I will tell them to pay close attention to the whereabouts of these people,” An Zijin nodded in acceptance.

The orders were passed down level by level, but the people under the Dan Sect were completely unaware of them.

But the handsome young man is also troubled now.

He never imagined that dealing with the clingy Senior Sister Yang would turn Zhao Yang, this rough old man, into a sycophant.

He actually wanted to cripple Zhao Yang and get rid of him once and for all.

But Zhao Yang is naturally a show-off; he's always on the go and never has a moment's rest. Senior Sister Yang can disappear for a day or two, and people just assume she's on another mission, but not Zhao Yang. If he doesn't show up for a day, it attracts everyone's attention!

At this moment, Zhao Yang was like a busy little bee, working tirelessly inside and outside the house, serving Chen Li, who was controlled by the handsome young man, 24 hours a day: "Senior, I've put up all the mattresses on my bed for you. Come and see if it's more comfortable now."

The handsome young man: "..."

Is there any way to quietly slap this guy to death? I need help urgently!
