Chapter 341 Prince Su, fickle as ever, killed the girl?
The two looked up, like two abandoned puppy dogs.
The scene was one of panic and pity.
Were they really abandoned?
If the sect leader doesn't want them, then they have no choice but to die.
The desolation in their eyes slightly surprised Li Qingluo.
She hadn't expected them to be so inflexible!
The old Duke had tamed these assassins so badly that they were like pieces of wood; it was truly pitiful.
However, she had no intention of actually letting them go.
It's just that there are some things in their minds that we want to change.
Li Qingluo sighed: "If you really don't want to leave, and from now on you no longer have the jade pendant of the Night Slayer Sect Master, would you still be willing to acknowledge me as the Sect Master and continue to follow me?"
The two men immediately looked up, their eyes filled with joy, and loudly replied, "We are willing!"
"We two subordinates are willing to follow you for life and serve you forever!"
"From now on, we will only recognize people, not jade pendants!"
"Please, young lady, don't abandon our Night Slayer Sect!"
Li Qinglu breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's what you think, but what about the others?"
"I remember the Night Slayer Sect currently has over twenty members?"
One of the assassins replied, "Reporting to the sect leader, our Night Slayer Sect has a total of twenty-seven assassins."
Twenty-seven people?
That's a considerable number.
Li Qingluo: "Where do they usually live?"
At this moment: "We...we usually stay in the Free and Unfettered Sect."
"Then there are about five people who take turns waiting in various dark places in the city, ready to be summoned by the sect leader at any time."
In the past, when Li Qingluo looked for them, it was just a whistle.
No wonder they can be there whenever we call; they've been wandering around in places in the city where no one can see them.
What's the difference between that and a wandering ghost?
"Then this young lady will now give you two a task."
They were willing to acknowledge her as their master without the jade pendant, but what about the other twenty-five?
Li Qingluo told them to go back and tell everyone in the Killing Night Sect that the jade pendant was broken.
She can set those who want to leave free in the future.
Those who wish to stay can go to General Xiuli's residence to find her tomorrow.
The two immediately lowered their heads to obey orders and left the place by the window in the blink of an eye.
Duan Rongshi had been watching how Li Qingluo won people's hearts.
Seeing that she had finally gotten rid of the two men, he slowly asked her, "Did you ask for my opinion as the sect leader before you decided to disband the Night Slayer Sect?"
Li Qinglu chuckled.
"Your Highness, you've also seen the drawbacks of this matter. What if I lose the jade pendant again in the future?"
“These fools only recognize the jade pendant and not the person. There is a real possibility that they might listen to others and then come to kill me.”
"The moment the woman killed 'herself,' they were able to recognize me as the one who picked up the jade pendant again."
"Isn't this also a form of betrayal to me?"
"In order to prevent future troubles, I, a humble woman, will make a small change."
"After all, they won't be like you, only recognizing me as a person!"
Duan Rongshi reached out and pinched her cheek: "You're so glib. But how are you going to get your shamelessness back?"
Li Qingluo knew he wasn't using much force, but she still exclaimed in surprise repeatedly.
"Oh dear, oh dear."
"Please be gentle."
"As expected, Your Highness still values appearance more. Has Your Highness begun to find me plain and ordinary now?"
Duan Rongshi: "I'm afraid that with your face, your grandmother won't let you go home."
Li Qinglu was stunned.
She was indeed worried that her grandmother wouldn't believe her.
"Your Highness, please return with me!"
With him as a witness, Grandma would at least believe him a little bit, right?
Duan Rongshi smiled slowly: "Then I will reluctantly agree."
Li Qing blushed when she met his smiling face.
She could tell he seemed very happy.
The two walked out of the house together, and Zhuiyu and Pofeng, who were guarding in the courtyard, were secretly surprised.
"Your Highness, could this young man truly be your former lover...?"
Before Zhuiyu could finish speaking, she saw Li Qinglu lying in a pool of blood on the floor inside the room.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Girl!?"
"Your Highness, that's a young lady!"
"That……"
Duan Rongshi glared at him: "Shut up!"
"Go, bury her."
He took the hot towel handed to him by the mute servant and carefully wiped his hands.
They also had the mute servant present Li Qingluo with a hot handkerchief.
After they had both wiped their hands, he led Li Qingluo into the garden filled with flowerpots.
Zhuiyu and Pofeng stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning; their souls seemed to have been scattered.
Especially Zhuiyu, who stumbled and ran to the door, saw the 'girl's' corpse that was already dead, and instantly burst into tears.
"His Highness has gone mad... madness!"
What did he do?
"He actually killed the girl?"
Upon hearing this, Po Feng covered his mouth with his hand.
"I think you're the one who's crazy!"
"Do you want to die, or do you want to get beaten again?"
"How dare you say such a thing!"
"Although I was also surprised, we have no idea what exactly happened inside the room."
"Stop talking!"
Zhuiyu turned around weakly, but still managed to push Pofeng away.
"You have no connection with the girl, of course you won't be upset!"
"I lost the girl...it was me!"
"I'm the one who really deserves to die..."
"The girl was such a good person, and we finally found her, but she has lost her memory... Didn't you see the knife in her chest? It was His Highness's personal item."
"It was actually His Highness who killed him."
"How could he suddenly become such a different person and do something like this?"
"Haven't we all seen through his feelings for the girl long ago?"
"Why would he do such a thing... Could it be that His Highness has been possessed or drugged by that inconspicuous woman?"
"I simply cannot believe that His Highness would do such a thing!"
Zhuiyu cried out in grief, her legs going weak.
Li Qingluo couldn't help but turn around when she heard the noise.
Seeing Zhuiyu crying so sadly.
Although his crying was fake, Li Qingluo knew that he was truly thinking of her. Feeling sorry for him, she tugged at Duan Rongshi's sleeve and said, "Your Highness, why don't you tell that fool the truth yourself?"
Duan Rongshi: "He deserved it."
Looking down, he saw her tugging at his sleeve, so Duan Rongshi moved his arm closer to her so she could hold on more comfortably.
Noticing his movement, Li Qinglu blushed and quickly let go of his hand.
Po Feng was afraid that if Zhui Yu continued to cry, he would really be punished, so he urged him to go inside to collect the body.
Qingyangzi and Lingfengzi, along with several other Taoist priests, were brought over from the other side by the mute servants.
Why did he summon so many Taoist priests?
Suddenly, she felt several unfriendly gazes falling on her.
Several mute servants had just seen Li Qingluo's corpse inside the room, and their faces were filled with unconcealed sadness and grief. So when they placed the teacup in front of Li Qingluo, they were somewhat clumsy and jerky.
Even the pastries were placed far away, making them out of Li Qingluo's reach.
They kindly took her in for the night, but they never expected that she would not only be dressed as a woman, but also bewitch the prince to kill the 'girl' whom everyone in Guiyuan loved!
How could the mute slaves not be heartbroken?
They all wanted to cry.
They thought the young lady would eventually marry the prince, but who would have thought that such a plain-looking swindler would appear out of nowhere!
At this moment, the mute slaves looked at Li Qingluo with a hint of resentment and disgust.
Li Qinglu felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles, as if she had thorns in her back.
She couldn't wait to announce to the world that she was the real Li Qingluo!
However, even if you shout out such an absurd thing, you'll only be seen as crazy.
Once your true self regains its appearance, the truth will naturally come to light.
She could only grit her teeth and endure those stares as she sat and drank tea with Prince Su.
When Duan Rongshi personally pushed the pastries towards her, she ate them in small bites.
Qingyangzi and Lingfengzi both glanced at Li Qingluo and respectfully greeted Prince Su.
Qingyangzi: "Your Highness, I have brought all the people you requested. We will set up the ritual in a short while, and you only need to bring the person you wish to exorcise."
Dojo?
Exorcising evil spirits?
Are they here in Guiyuan to exorcise evil spirits?
Give it to that fake 'self'?
Li Qingluo's lips twitched.
Only then did she realize that Duan Rongshi had genuinely believed that the fake substitute had been possessed by a ghost.
That's why she had Qingyangzi and the others come to exorcise the evil spirits from 'her'.
She found it somewhat amusing.
There was also a touch of sadness.
It is a rare thing in the world that he could tell in such a short time that it was not himself.
Perhaps no one else can be as steadfast as him, so determined not to recognize physical appearance or voice, but only to recognize himself.
Li Qingluo couldn't help but stare intently at Duan Rong in front of everyone.
Duan Rongshi noticed her gaze and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
An overwhelming joy.
But in front of Qingyangzi and the others, he could only pretend to be calm and indifferent.
He restrained himself from responding to her gaze.
He simply looked at Qingyangzi and the others with an ordinary expression and said, "This matter has been settled, there is no need to trouble you any further."
Qingyangzi was somewhat surprised.
But she quickly accepted: "Yes, Your Highness."
"Your Highness, something strange has happened these past few days, which I have not yet reported to you."
"The bitter forsythia, which was locked in a cave in the back mountain, suddenly died a few days ago."
“We buried her on the nearby mountain, but the next day someone discovered that her grave had been disturbed.”
"When I rushed to her grave to check, I found that her body was gone."
