After leaving Qu Lingyuan's residence, Yu Jinjiang continued his investigation.
Shi Ran is not a very smart person. She was able to successfully kill the former leader and Gu Chi entirely because of her cooperation with Wangsheng Pavilion.
Although not smart enough, but careful enough.
After investigating for some time, Yu Jinjiang still couldn't find any clues or evidence to identify Shi Ran.
There is some clue about the footprints.
Based on the size of the shoe print, the pattern on the sole and the schedule of the outer disciples, Yu Jinjiang found the person who delivered the letter that day.
Unfortunately, he seemed to be very loyal to the person behind the scenes and refused to reveal a single word, insisting that he just couldn't stand Qu Lingyuan.
The Huashan Sect will never use torture unless there is a serious case. This is a tradition established early on. Yu Jinjiang had no choice but to exile him and never allow him to set foot on Huashan again.
This result was within Qu Lingyuan's expectations.
Shi Ran has no shortage of followers and admirers. Even though he is just an outer disciple, she can still be completely devoted to him by giving him some benefits and making some promises.
Shi Ran suffered no loss or gain from this incident.
But it didn't have any impact on Qu Lingyuan, and she still felt unwilling to accept it.
————
After a few days, Yu Jinjiang rarely took the initiative to come to Shi Ran's residence.
"I need to go down the mountain to meet with the leaders of other sects. I won't be on Huashan Mountain for the next two days. Please remember to look after Ling Yuan for me."
He came to Shi Ran on purpose to tell her this.
Before, Qu Lingyuan looked afraid of Shi Ran, which made him suspect that Shi Ran would take advantage of his absence to find an opportunity to bully others.
Now he was going down the mountain and personally asked Shi Ran to take care of Qu Lingyuan. If anything happened to her, Shi Ran would not be able to escape responsibility.
At least this can prevent Shi Ran from doing anything bad to Qu Lingyuan.
Most women are sensitive. Perhaps she understood what Yu Jinjiang meant, so Shi Ran lowered her eyelids and said nothing.
Did he really start to doubt himself because of that little girl?
After rolling her eyes, she raised her head with a smile and said, "Brother, if you are worried about Ling Yuan, why not keep her by your side?"
"No outsiders are allowed to attend the master's meeting, and I'm worried about letting her stay in the inn alone." Yu Jinjiang was telling the truth.
Now in his eyes, Qu Lingyuan is just a poor little thing with no one to rely on except him.
It’s not like he hadn’t thought about bringing Qu Lingyuan with him.
But... take her with you. I'll be worried if I leave her alone in the inn.
Don’t take it with you. Someone on Mount Hua has framed her, and the mastermind behind the scenes has not been found out yet. It doesn’t seem safe.
"I'll go too," Shi Ran raised her hand to brush her hair, a smile on her lips, looking understanding. "Ling Yuan has never been down from Mount Hua in her life. It's time for her to take a look down the mountain."
It would be easier to take action when they are alone...
Isn’t it?
After pursing his lips and thinking for a while, Yu Jinjiang felt that this was indeed the most appropriate choice, so he nodded in agreement.
"We'll set off tomorrow afternoon, so you should get ready." After saying that, he turned and left.
The long hair hanging down to her waist brushed across the table and a strand of hair fell down. Shi Ran's eyelashes flickered, and she looked at the hair in a daze, thinking about something.
After leaving here, Yu Jinjiang rushed to inform Qu Lingyuan.
The leaders of various martial arts sects are in contact with each other. According to convention, when a sect changes its leader, everyone has to have a meal together.
Let’s just get to know each other.
Qu Lingyuan listened to Yu Jinjiang's explanation of why he went down the mountain and found this social behavior very funny.
It is a very vivid sight to see all the leaders with the demeanor of immortals and heroes gathering together to eat and drink.
But...if Shi Ran goes too...
"I understand." There was a hint of excitement on her fair little face.
Yu Jinjiang thought she was just a little excited because it was her first time going down the mountain, and left her room without thinking too much.
Qu Lingyuan felt it was time to give Shi Ran some return gift.
The score for framing her with the letter has not yet been settled.
Remembering that the disguise mask he bought from the World Law Mall was still gathering dust in the warehouse, Qu Lingyuan took it out, shook it, and carefully put it on his face.
"Does the Universal World Law Mall have invisibility potions?" She asked Yi Ling jokingly while putting on the mask.
Yi Ling was serious. He casually opened the light curtain to check and replied, "Yes."
“???” It was just a casual question, I didn’t expect that there really was such a thing.
Qu Lingyuan's heart was suddenly moved, her eyes flickering with excitement. "Is it expensive?"
"Half an hour is cheap, it only takes three months of life." Yi Ling flipped through Qu Lingyuan's personal account and continued, "You now have 19 years of life to your name."
"Then buy one for half an hour, that's enough." Qu Lingyuan had never asked how much life span the mission reward was, but she suddenly felt very rich and wanted to spend money like water.
She was going to steal something from Shi Ran's room.
You don't need an invisibility potion, you can just take action when the moon is dark and the wind is strong.
But it is obviously more convenient to have an invisibility potion, and there is no pressure at all to steal things in broad daylight.
But...the transparent plastic bottle in her hand made Qu Lingyuan feel a little deceived.
"Is this thing really an invisibility potion?"
The packaging looked like that of a cheap drink, and she began to doubt her life.
"The World Law Mall is honest and trustworthy." Yi Ling's expression was serious, as if he was defending his dignity.
Seeing him so confident, Qu Lingyuan unscrewed the bottle cap, and a sweet and rich peach scent hit her face.
The suppressed suspicion rose again, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she tilted her head back to drink the small bottle of "Peach Flavored Invisibility Potion" down her stomach.
