An unfamiliar face.
Rong Shang thought of the man she had seen at the market that night. She didn't know why, but even though she didn't recognize him, he looked strangely familiar.
Or rather, it was those eyes that gave her a sense of familiarity.
Rong Shang turned over in bed and quietly looked at the screen in front of her, lost in thought.
Suddenly, another face popped into her mind. Rong Shang frowned and superimposed the two faces in her mind.
Then, she suddenly realized, yet she was still somewhat incredulous.
"Master, on the day Yin Mo brought me to Changfeng Pavilion, did Jiang Muyan really return to Lin Manor?"
Yes, but Jiang Muyan was injured and stayed in Minghua Cave for an hour.
Rong Shang raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing?"
[They said they needed to heal their wounds.]
"When they left, were the numbers the same as when they arrived?"
When Rong Shang suddenly asked such a profound question, the system replied: 【How would I know?】
In fact, regardless of whether the system is aware of it or not, it will not provide any information that involves anything outside the main storyline or side quests.
Therefore, Rong Chang did not place her hopes on the system.
However, she felt that this matter was definitely not that simple. Given Jiang Muyan's obsession with immortality, would he really give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leave Minghua Cave?
Rong Shang didn't believe it, but she hadn't found any evidence yet to prove that Jiang Muyan was still in Minghua Cave.

But no one expected that three members of the Minghua Cave tribe would be attacked and killed on the spot that night.
When the elders learned of the news and came to Baihuage to invite Yin Mo to the ancestral hall, the sky was just beginning to lighten.
With a "whoosh," the door of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion opened, and a man dressed in a white robe came into view.
Looking at the elders standing outside the door, Yin Mo frowned, his expression somewhat cold. "What's going on?"
"Sect Master, someone sneaked into the school last night and murdered three pageboys," the leading elder said with a heavy heart.
Yin Mo's expression changed, and he strode out of the house.
After closing the door, Yin Mo glanced at the elder and strode forward, saying, "Take me there."
"Yes, Sect Master."

Ancestral hall.
When Yin Mo arrived, he saw three corpses neatly arranged in the hall. The corpses were covered with a white cloth, and the smell of blood immediately filled his nostrils as he approached.
Women nearby were crying, but when they saw Yin Mo arrive, their sobbing turned into wailing.
"Sect Master, you must do justice for us!"
"Yes, my son is still young. I'm waiting for him to get married and have children. But now... ah, I don't want to live anymore."
Inside the ancestral hall, the families of the several pageboys were all in a state of grief and sorrow.
The elders who came with Yin Mo could only try their best to appease them. Their gazes turned to the center of the hall, where Yin Mo stood beside a corpse. His expression was cold and calm as he slowly lifted the white cloth covering the body.
A pale, cold face suddenly came into view.
Further down, there was a deep knife wound on the man's neck.
The schoolteacher also arrived and added from the side, "Sect Master, these three pageboys all had their throats slit with a knife."
I don't know which tribesman was so cruel as to do such a thing to them.
Myeonghwadong has always been known for its kindness and simplicity, and its people have always been friendly and helpful to each other. This is the first time in hundreds of years that such a brutal act as murder to cover up a crime has occurred.
