Li Wenyi was mistaken. Ye Shuang's divine sense had already covered the entire county, and she also had to monitor what the monster was doing at all times. If she were to be distracted by other things, she might not be able to detect certain situations in time.
Ye Shuang understood this, and Yuwen Leng understood it too, but Li Wenyi was completely clueless. He didn't even understand the impending crisis, nor did he understand why Lord Ren had died.
"It's good that you have a plan, Miss." Li Wenyi smiled, stood up and took his leave. "I have already handed this case over to the court. I am not qualified to handle cases involving officials of the same rank. People from the capital will be sent down to investigate in a few days. No matter what the result is, I guarantee that I will return the house to you, Miss."
Ye Shuang didn't care. Even if she stayed at the inn, it wouldn't affect her plan to approach Li Wenyi and Ma Rencai under a different identity: "Alright, then I'll trouble you, Brother Li. If there's anything you need help with, please don't hesitate to ask. Although I look down on myself now, I still have some strength left. Who knows, I might be able to help you, sir?"
Li Wenyi smiled and dismissed it. Even if he were in dire straits, how could he possibly ask a young lady for help? "Then thank you for your kindness, young lady. I have some official business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. Goodbye."
Ye Shuang smiled and saw him to the door. After he had gone far away, she looked at Yuwen Leng and said, "Now you have basically achieved your goal. When Mo Wu arrives, I will send him to assist you in dealing with that monster."
"Where are you going, young lady?" Yuwen Leng asked, somewhat puzzled. This instruction sounded more like a parting message.
Ye Shuang nodded: "Li Wenyi is not in much danger here. He has you all with him. Ma Rencai also has that demon beast with him. But my parents only have Bai Xue. I have to go back to protect them and the people in that village."
"Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely not let you down," Yuwen Leng said confidently.
Ye Shuang didn't care. Even if he messed up again this time, she would have a way next time: "The village is not far from the county town. I will come to the county town from time to time, so you don't need to worry too much. Just make sure they are safe."
"Yes." Yuwen Leng respectfully replied and followed Ye Shuang back to her room before continuing, "Miss, news from the cultivation world has come over once. The Calculation Heaven Sect is doing well and doesn't appear often in the Myriad Immortals Alliance. It seems their only goal is to form this Myriad Immortals Alliance, but we haven't found out the reason yet."
Ye Shuang nodded and waved to indicate that he could leave. She knew that these two matters would not be easy to find out. She thought that if she wanted to know the inside story, she would have to go to the capital in her own name, Ye Shuang, to ask the Imperial Advisor.
What happened next went surprisingly smoothly. Ye Shuang had Yuwen Leng pawn a set of pearl jewelry that had been gathering dust in her storage ring, and with the money she got, she bought a newly renovated house. Although it no longer had a back garden, it was still not far from the county government office.
After Ye Shuang moved in, Yuwen Leng had already started working in the county government. A constable doesn't earn much money a month, but he has more and more opportunities to interact with Ma Rencai. At the same time, the monster's impatient nature is becoming more and more apparent, often prompting Ma Rencai to reprimand him.
