Even rogue cultivators will carry some talismans and pills. At the very least, they'll have a storage bag containing spirit stones, changes of clothes, and the like.
But now, these assassins have nothing on them, which reveals their identities as assassins.
Suicide squad!
Only those who are willing to die for their cause would be penniless.
"Let's go back!"
Knowing the assassins were assassins, trying to trace them back to their masterminds was just wishful thinking. In this world, assassins are people without identities. They cease to exist from the moment of their birth until their death. They leave no trace in this world.
They are like a group of ghosts, who only have one chance to appear in the world in their lifetime.
Whether it's success or failure.
After making their move, the assassins' lives also came to an end.
No one paid any attention to the dead assassins anymore. Their bodies lay scattered in the mountains and forests, where ferocious beasts would soon appear and devour them.
The world of spiritual practice is a true animal world, cruel and ruthless.
After confirming that the assassins were indeed death squad members, Rong Xi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was proven that these people weren't looking for her, she couldn't care less about anything else.
Since it wasn't her fault, everything was fine.
The group quickly returned to the capital and landed in the enormous mansion of the Fourth Prince.
"Fairy, when will you introduce me to someone...?"
Upon entering the Prince's residence, Sun Heming's heart was pounding wildly; he felt as if he had been tricked. He cautiously approached Rong Xi, asking for her help.
Rong Xi smiled slightly, looked at the Fourth Prince, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, do you want this person?"
"Does the Princess Consort find him useful?"
Now that they were back in the manor, the Fourth Prince changed how he addressed Rong Xi. When they were out, he needed to conceal his identity, but now that they were back in the manor, there was no need for that.
Upon hearing the Fourth Prince's address to Rong Xi, Sun Heming's knees went weak, and he immediately knelt down.
He never dreamed that he would offend the princess consort!
But now, he's already on a pirate ship!
"good!"
"If you think it's useless, then I'll accept it!"
Rong Xi is now without anyone she can rely on. The dowry that Fei Yanggu originally arranged for Ulanara are all secretly trying to poach her men, so a major purge is necessary.
"If the Princess Consort is pleased, that's good!"
In this respect, the Fourth Prince was very magnanimous.
Sun Heming was someone he had visited Xiaoyaofang many times, so he naturally knew a thing or two about him. To be fair, this man was quite capable, but he had always had bad luck.
"Sun Heming!"
"Yes, sir!"
When Sun Heming saw Rong Xi looking over, he quickly responded respectfully. At this moment, he understood what Rong Xi meant by "sect".
The imperial court!
He should have realized it sooner; in this world, besides the nobles of the imperial court, who else could be so extravagant?
"Are you willing to serve me? Don't worry, I'm not one to force people. If you're not willing, you can leave at any time. I've always won people over with virtue!"
"I'm willing!"
Only a fool would refuse!
Without a second thought, Sun Heming readily agreed. The fact that even Yelü Buge of the First-Rank Hall was currying favor with the Fourth Prince clearly demonstrated his promising future.
Well, all I can say is that he misunderstood!
Before Yelü Buge found the Fourth Prince, he encountered setbacks everywhere.
The Fourth Prince was not unaware of this.
The reason why the Fourth Prince did not resolutely stop Rong Xi from extorting and robbing Yipintang in Xiaoyaofang was perhaps to take the opportunity to warn Yelü Buge.
Yelü Buge understood this, which is why he endured the pain and fulfilled all of Rong Xi's requests.
Well, Yelü Buge must have been furious after the Fourth Prince and Rong Xi left. Losing two priceless treasures left to his descendants by his ancestors was enough to make Yelü Buge wince!
Sun Heming is a very pragmatic person; after all, those who are pragmatic are wise.
After Sun Heming agreed, Rong Xi had Su Peisheng take Sun Heming down to the Prince's residence to learn the rules first.
As for the four beautiful girls, including Xi Yue, who were brought back by Rong Xi, they were handed over to Granny Rui for instruction.
"Sir, aren't you busy?"
Seeing that the Fourth Prince was still following her, Rong Xi suddenly had a bad feeling.
"I'm not busy right now!"
The Fourth Prince smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on Rong Xi, "Doesn't the Princess Consort have anything to say to me?"
"What? What did you say?"
Rong Xi decisively pretended to be stupid.
"Do I need to remind you?"
The Fourth Prince gave a wicked smile and approached Rong Xi.
The intense scent of a man wafted over her instantly, making Rong Xi feel slightly uncomfortable.
Having lived two lives, she had hardly had any contact with men. In her previous life, she was an absolute lazy homebody. To Rong Xi, men were, well, just two-legged toads.
"No!"
Don't panic, stay calm!
Rong Xi thought back carefully and realized that she hadn't given herself away anywhere. Even what she said at Xiaoyaofang Yipintang could be considered boasting.
After all, bragging isn't illegal!
Well, one could say that they were saving face for the Fourth Prince.
"Why don't you tell me, Madam, where did you get these high-grade spirit stones?"
The Fourth Prince chuckled.
"This is a congratulatory gift from the Chief Steward of the Imperial Household Department!" Rong Xi suddenly felt more confident. "My lord, I have successfully established my foundation, and you haven't congratulated me yet! Also, shouldn't you prepare a gift as well?"
