Young Master Guoyun's guarantee reluctantly made the people from the National Medical Hall give up, and Su Lijin was temporarily released.
As everyone left, the theft of the snow lotus immediately became a burden on her shoulders. She had to find out the truth as soon as possible to clear herself of suspicion.
Tan Tai Chun patted his chest with lingering fear: "I was really scared just now. If these barbarians really attacked you, I might not be able to save you."
There are many people in the National Medical Hall's territory. If a conflict really breaks out, even if he tries his best, he will not be able to rescue the people, and he will probably be imprisoned as well.
He and Su Lijin were outnumbered and indeed did not have the advantage.
If Young Master Guoyun had not stepped forward and offered a guarantee, today's situation would probably not have ended well.
"Master Guoyun, thank you so much for guaranteeing me. I really don't know how to express my gratitude."
Su Lijin naturally knew how dangerous the situation was, so she bowed and sincerely thanked the person in front of her.
Ever since she met Young Master Guoyun, she has been helped by him many times, and the gratitude he showed her cannot be expressed in a few words.
"There's no need for us to be so polite. This is what I'm willing to do for you."
"Thank you anyway."
Faced with such straightforward love, Su Lijin lowered her voice, feeling a little embarrassed.
Young Master Guoyun had confessed his love to her before, and when she thought about it now, her heart still beat fast.
Tan Tai Chun, completely unaware of the two's situation, thought for a moment and said, "It's pointless to stay here. I'll go back and find out for you."
Su Lijin recognized Bai Xiaosheng's ability to gather information.
She nodded and said, "However, I think it would be better to start with Lin Siya. She suddenly disappeared, and then the snow lotus was stolen. I'm afraid she is involved in this matter."
"Do you think it was Lin Siya who stole the snow lotus?" Xiao Shengxing asked.
Su Lijin frowned in thought, and couldn't help but think of the incident when the people from the National Medical Hall pointed out her and said that they saw her and Lin Siya appear by the pond where snow lotus was grown two days ago. Her brows couldn't help but furrowed.
Lin Siya seemed to have said that the place was home to rare treasures and was where the National Medical Hall kept precious medicinal materials.
Thinking about it again, her eyes at that time seemed to be often wandering, always looking into the pond.
She didn't take it seriously at the time, but now thinking about it, Lin Siya must have known that there was snow lotus growing inside that day, and she took action immediately.
She had to suspect that this person had stolen the snow lotus, otherwise, how could she explain those words?
"All the clues point to her. I do have this suspicion in my heart. I always feel that she is involved in this matter."
"Okay then, I'll go back and check on this Lin Siya."
Tan Tai Chun lowered his shoulders, turned around and disappeared after he finished speaking.
Su Lijin and Xiao Shengxing went to the inn at the foot of the valley to wait for news. The next day, they met Tan Tai Chun again.
"how's it going?"
As soon as she asked, she saw Tan Tai Chun frowning and shaking his head.
"Is there no way to find her?" She was a little surprised.
Bai Xiaosheng is an expert at gathering information. Could it be that Lin Siya is so good at hiding her whereabouts that she could evade his detection?
Judging from her interactions with Lin Siya in the past few days, this person is indeed very capable in medical skills and toxicology, but she did not expect that his whereabouts could be so secretive.
Tan Tai Chun's expression turned even worse, and he sighed, "Don't mention it."
Xiao Shengxing looked at Tan Tai Chun and asked, "Is there no such person?"
"How do you know?"
He looked at the handsome man in front of him with some surprise. If this man had not been staying here all the time, he would have almost suspected that he had followed him.
Su Lijin was stunned and looked at the two of them, waiting for their reply.
"Since this person could have stolen the snow lotus, I don't think he would come here using his real name. If we search using the name Lin Siya, we will naturally find no such person."
This explanation was logically sound. Tan Tai Chun gave a wry smile and said, "You're amazing. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have wasted my time. As you said, I sent everyone out to look for Lin Siya, but there was no such person."
"If her name isn't Lin Siya, then who is she?" Su Lijin pondered. "Have you used her portrait to check?"
"We've checked the portrait, but we can't find this person. It's like she suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth. There's no trace of her."
"Neither the name nor the portrait can be found..."
Su Lijin pointed her finger and suddenly looked up: "Could it be that she is also using a human skin mask to disguise herself?"
She suddenly suspected that Lin Siya was also using a human skin mask, otherwise, it would be impossible to hide her tracks so perfectly.
"It's very likely. It seems her background is not simple." The one who answered her was Xiao Shengxing who was standing beside her.
"That's difficult. Who knows who is underneath the human skin mask?"
Tan Tai Chun had a headache and sighed again.
"She stayed at this inn before, so she must have come from somewhere. Otherwise, we can investigate the inn and the possible routes she came from to see if we can find anyone suspicious."
"That's all I can do. I'll be leaving now."
"Go ahead."
Su Lijin watched Tan Taichun leave, and analyzed Lin Siya's possible identity with Xiao Shengxing in the room.
That night, she suddenly found a letter on the table with Tan Tai Chun's mark on it.
After opening the letter and reading the contents, he said, "Tan Tai Chun has a clue. He asked me to go to the Taoist temple to find him."
"I'll go with you."
The two immediately followed the instructions in the letter and arrived at the Taoist temple.
After nightfall, the Taoist temple looks a bit eerie, and because it has been in disrepair for many years, it looks even more desolate and dilapidated.
When Su Lijin entered the Taoist temple, she saw a man standing in the center, his body straight, looking at her.
