The Imperial Preceptor's Residence.
Gao Hongyuan looked at the two kneeling on the ground and asked, "Did you see the disfigured woman at Poyun Peak?"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
How old are you?
"She was wearing a veil, so you couldn't tell her age, but judging from her voice, she was quite old. She wasn't alone; she was accompanied by many other people."
Gao Hongyuan's eyes were deep, then he waved his hand, "Go down and collect your reward."
"Thank you, Grand Preceptor! Thank you, Grand Preceptor!" The two were very excited.
They had been guarding Poyun Peak for many years at the behest of the Grand Preceptor, and today they finally saw the person the Grand Preceptor had asked them to find. They thought the reward would be very generous.
After the two left, Gao Hongyuan sat motionless, tapping his fingers on the table as if deep in thought.
According to the two people, that person should be the old woman. They were surprised that she actually survived despite being so badly injured.
Gao Hongyuan hadn't witnessed Fu Linglong's death firsthand, so he wasn't sure until now.
He had sent people to search, but the original Star Gu Pavilion was already deserted, and no corpses were found.
Since there was no body, there was a high probability that Fu Linglong was still alive. Over the years, Gao Hongyuan had secretly sent people to search everywhere, but there had been no news.
He felt that if Fu Linglong were alive, she would definitely return to the Star Gu Pavilion, so he sent people to guard the vicinity of the Star Gu Pavilion every day, and this guarding lasted for eight years.
I finally received news from her today.
“Night Falcon!” Gao Hongyuan exclaimed.
"Your subordinate is here." Night Falcon appeared from the shadows before Gao Hongyuan and knelt down.
"Go, kill that disfigured woman! Don't let anyone know."
"yes!"
"Also, everyone around her was killed."
"yes!"
Fu Linglong, Fu Linglong, your face is ruined like that, yet you still dare to show yourself in the world.
If you had stayed hidden, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to you. But now that you dare to show your face, don't blame me for disregarding our master-disciple relationship.
Who is the person next to her?
Could it be that she has taken on new apprentices in recent years?
No matter who it is, anyone who comes into contact with Fu Linglong must die!

When Su Ruojin woke up, it was already dark. Xiao Yanchu brought her the chicken soup that Yanluo had been simmering.
To treat Fu Linglong's facial condition, and considering the situation in Longxiao City, they could only stay at Jinghuanglu for the time being.
Xiao Yanchu instructed his guards to buy some fruits, vegetables, chicken, duck, fish, and meat from farmers outside the city, so that even in the mountains, they would not have to worry about food.
After finishing the chicken soup, Xiao Yanchu recounted the messages from An Yi and An Wu to Su Ruojin.
"I have a plan," Su Ruojin said after listening.
“I also have a plan,” Xiao Yanchu said with a smile. “Why don’t we write them down separately and see if we have the same idea?”
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Su Ruojin's playful mood kicked in, and she took two pieces of paper, one for each of them.
After the two unfolded the paper they had written on, they looked at each other and smiled, realizing they had indeed come up with the same idea.
The following day at Shenshi (3 PM).
Then, several guards led seven children up the back mountain of Poyun Peak.
