"Just rescuing people doesn't count. Although I don't know what you think of me, I regard you as a very precious junior. I don't want anything to happen to you. So, if you want to make a bet with me, it's not just about rescuing people, but you also have to ensure that you won't get hurt." Linglong's words made Lin Jiuxi feel warm in his heart.

Lin Jiuxi felt more and more guilty, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Aunt Linglong, I really didn't consider your feelings before and was a little too impulsive."

"Humph, I won't bother with a kid like you." Linglong said arrogantly, "Didn't you say you wanted to make a bet? What do you want? If you lose, you have to follow me back and stop wasting time here."

"Who said I will definitely lose? What if I win?" Lin Jiuxi immediately retorted.

She is stubborn and won't give up until she reaches the Yellow River.

"Wouldn't that be better? You wouldn't be wasting your efforts here. What if you win? If you win, what do you want?" Linglong asked her with a raised eyebrow.

Lin Jiuxi really thought about it, but then he thought about how good Linglong was to him and how he had hurt her so much before, so he didn't have the nerve to ask Linglong for anything.

Fortunately, with the timely treatment of the imperial physician, they recovered by 40% or 50%, and could speak without any problems, but their voices were extremely unpleasant. Listening to them talk was like torturing my brain, and they themselves felt sore in their throats and uncomfortable when they talked.

When the emperor got the news, he was even more furious.

Lin Jiuxi said honestly, "I'm afraid I can't manage it well."

She had thought about Wuyou Palace before. The reason was simple: Wuyou Palace was too rich, which really aroused jealousy and envy.

"So what? No one has stipulated what kind of Linglong Pavilion is good. Maybe Linglong Pavilion will be even better in your hands than in mine. I'm afraid I will regret it then." Linglong said indifferently.

So under Linglong's stubborn pressure, Lin Jiuxi had no choice but to make the bet.

As for Linglong Pavilion, she had never thought about Linglong wanting to retire from the world. She always felt that she would always be there to help and enlighten herself.

"If I win, please forgive me for what I said just now, Aunt Linglong. Don't take it to heart. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by getting angry." Lin Jiuxi said with a flattering smile.

Especially since war is extremely expensive, Lin Jiuxi is now having a headache about his finances. If he can take over Wuyou Palace, he won't have to worry about these anymore.

"Why do you regret it after it healed in my hands?" Lin Jiuxi asked curiously.

Linglong swayed the fan in her hand and smiled softly: "Of course I regret not handing Linglong Pavilion over to you earlier so that you could enjoy life earlier."

In her memory, she didn't remember many memories of Bai Xiaodie. Linglong was a rare woman who treated her very well, and she was also an elder. Although she often felt a sense of inconsistency or flamboyance, Lin Jiuxi did feel a gentle emotion similar to maternal love from her.

She had never even thought about taking over Linglong Pavilion.

If Lin Jiuxi really doesn't want to accept it, then it's very simple. Just admit defeat, don't waste time here, and follow me back.

That night, a fire broke out in the east corner of the Ministry of Justice building, causing panic among the people.

If it wasn't Bai Hengqiu, Lin Jiuxi would naturally not agree.

The Minister of Justice stepped forward tremblingly, "The east side is always a remote area, and there are not many people there, so the fire happened accidentally. Gunpowder was found in the corner, and then we realized that someone had deliberately set the fire. But Your Majesty, thanks to the persistence and efforts of everyone in the Ministry of Justice, no prisoners have escaped, and naturally no one has escaped."

She really hopes Linglong is healthy and everything is fine.

Linglong Queyao waved her fan and said, "Forgiveness or not is just a matter of two words, there is no need to do this. I will not take advantage of you. If you can really ensure that you can rescue the person without any harm, it will be considered that you have the ability. I will hand over Linglong Pavilion to you, and I can retire from the world."

The emperor sneered, "That means you didn't catch the arsonist at all, right?"

"There are people so daring under the feet of the emperor in the imperial city! Has the prison escapee been caught?"

The Minister of Justice lowered his head and pretended to be a quail, not daring to answer.

The two most active officials were the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Li and Liu. Their throats were choked by the smoke and they could not speak for several days.

No matter how Lin Jiuxi tried to persuade her, Linglong was determined to do so.

"Nothing is absolutely impossible. When I took over Linglong Pavilion, I knew nothing too, so how could I have so much experience? Besides, who knows what Linglong Pavilion will become in the future? Since I am confident in handing it over to you, what do you have to worry about?" Linglong was determined to retire from the world.

Lin Jiuxi was so frightened by her words that he stood up. "Aunt Linglong, what are you talking about? How can I want Linglong Pavilion? And you are still young, why are you thinking about retiring from the world?"

Lin Jiuxi still quickly shook her head and refused, "No, no, I am far inferior to you, Auntie. And this is Linglong Pavilion's affairs, what do I know? This is absolutely not possible."

She has been in this world for decades and has seen a lot of fighting and killing. She is tired and doesn't want to get involved in it anymore.

This is indeed the case.

"Your Majesty, from what I have seen, this person is probably coming for the person in cell number one." General Lin came forward and said, "It was a rare opportunity for me to do this."

Now that he has returned, he is extremely unwelcome. General Lin usually doesn't dare to approach him, but today is a rare occasion.

The emperor stroked his beard and asked, "You mean Nangong Jing is here?"

"I think this is most likely the case. Otherwise, who would be so bold as to set fire to the Ministry of Justice?" said General Lin.
