Big White's barking echoed through the alley.
Ye Jintang looked at the bead in mid-air and smiled slightly. "It's finally appeared."
As soon as she finished speaking, a man in black appeared in front of her, and at the same time, the bead flew into the man's hand.
"After hiding for so long, you've finally decided to show yourself?"
Ye Jintang spoke to the man in black, showing no concern that the bead was now in someone else's hands.
"Miss Ye, you are even more amazing than I imagined."
"So all these recent strange events are related to you, even the Empress Dowager's assassination attempt and the poison my father was afflicted with...?"
The light from the bead was enough to reveal the other person's true appearance. This person did not conceal their face when they appeared, suggesting they had made ample preparations.
If someone who is hiding their true identity suddenly appears, it means they are definitely trying to kill you.
"Miss Ye, sometimes knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing."
The man in black held the bead in his hand, thinking he had the upper hand, and looked at Ye Jintang with contempt.
"However, since you also know some mystical arts, if you can obey my orders from now on, I will spare your life right now."
"Spare my life?"
Ye Jintang scoffed, as if he had heard some outrageous joke.
"Don't you think having this bead will make a difference?"
Upon hearing Ye Jintang's words, the man in black immediately became alert. He sensed something in the bead and confirmed that there was indeed power within it, which reassured him somewhat.
"Little girl, you tricked me."
“I found this bead in that village first, but you took it first. It’s only right that it’s returned to its rightful owner.”
"Returning it to its rightful owner?"
Hearing the man in black's words, Ye Jintang found it amusing.
"Discovering it first is useless; getting it is the real skill. Unfortunately, you're not qualified yet."
"Originally, it would have taken her a lot of effort to find you, but now that you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, you can't blame anyone else."
"Arrogant!"
Ye Jintang's words clearly angered the man in black, who then made to attack.
But the next second, his body froze on the spot, unable to move no matter what.
There is only one possibility for this situation to occur: Ye Jintang must have tampered with it.
"What...what did you do to me?"
The man in black noticed something was wrong as Ye Jintang approached.
Ye Jintang clicked his tongue, "You at least know some esoteric arts, yet you didn't consult the oracle before taking action."
The bead was continuously absorbing the black-clad man's power.
"No! Stop!" Feeling the power draining from his body, the man in black looked terrified, but he couldn't move his body no matter what he did, and could only let the power be slowly devoured by the bead.
Woof!
"Woman, the person has been brought."
As the man in black held the bead in his hand, she instructed Da Bai to "inform" Lord Shen.
At this time, Lord Shen is probably already on his way.
"Miss Ye, is there anything I can do to help?"
Lord Shen has already arrived with his men. Ye Jintang nodded. His presence here means that Jiang Mubai's matter has been resolved by tomorrow, which suits her wishes perfectly.
"Lord Shen, this matter is related to the recent assassination attempt on the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor is investigating it. I think Lord Shen understands better than I do how to handle this case."
Upon hearing Ye Jintang's words, Lord Shen instantly understood the seriousness of the matter.
"Please rest assured, Miss Ye."
Ye Jintang nodded. After all this commotion, she was a little tired. Now that the crisis was temporarily over, there was no need to stay here any longer.
Big White stayed close to Ye Jintang the whole time.
"Woman, are you really so comfortable leaving the rest of the work to them?"
Big White kept barking, and since it was just getting light, its barking made the surroundings seem even noisier.
Having just resolved these matters, Ye Jintang didn't want to cause any more trouble, so when no one was around, she directly put Da Bai into her spatial dimension.
When she returned to Huisheng Hall from the backyard, she saw a figure standing there.
Upon seeing who it was, Ye Jintang was somewhat surprised and called out, "Lvhe?"
"Miss?!"
Green Lotus was overjoyed to see Ye Jintang and almost ran up to her.
"Why are you standing here? Did something happen?"
Ye Jintang asked Green Lotus.
Green Lotus quickly shook her head, "No, no, everything is fine in the hall."
"It was because I was worried that I thought we should wait here, along with Da Bai."
Green Lotus couldn't help but worry as she spoke.
"Miss, Da Bai has also disappeared since you left yesterday."
She had initially thought that her young mistress had taken Da Bai with her, but now that she saw Ye Jintang return alone, the situation was clearly not like that.
Hearing this, Ye Jintang couldn't help but laugh, "She thought something had happened, but it turns out it's because of Da Bai."
"Don't worry, Da Bai is still in Dali Temple and will return tomorrow."
At this moment, she naturally couldn't directly tell Green Lotus that Da Bai was currently in her space.
Even if it's someone close to you, if you don't have enough power, it's better to know as little as possible about these things.
Otherwise, they will only end up hurting themselves.
She didn't want to see Lühe get into danger because of these things again.
"So that's how it is!"
Receiving Ye Jintang's reply finally eased Lühe's worries.
She said it was strange that Da Bai suddenly disappeared; it turned out he was still at the Dali Temple.
Seeing that Ye Jintang had already walked a distance ahead, Lühe quickly followed behind.
"Miss, have those matters been resolved?"
"Um?"
Ye Jintang looked at Lühe and, seeing her stammering, replied, "Lühe, just say what you want to say. You don't need to hold back in front of me."
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Ye Jintang's expression turned serious. She had noticed from the beginning that although Lühe said she was fine, her actions had already given her away.
“Miss, as evening approached, a man covered in wounds collapsed outside the Resurrection Hall. When he saw us come out, the first thing he said was not to ask for medical treatment, but to call your name.”
"My name?"
Ye Jintang frowned, increasingly sensing that something was amiss.
Where is that person now?
Did you ask any more questions at the time?
Green Lotus shook her head, somewhat helplessly. "No, when I wanted to ask more questions, the man had already fainted, so I have no way of knowing what happened afterward."
"So, this person is still unconscious."
"Yes, although the doctor in the hall has treated me, my injuries are too severe and I will need some time to regain consciousness. I also accidentally discovered this thing."
