"I just heard from the waiter that the Shadow Pavilion's mission is to fight to the death?"
The Deputy Pavilion Master nodded, "Sir, are you worried that the Shadow Pavilion will be perfunctory in handling this mission?"
"Of course not! I'm just a little confused, and I hope the deputy leader can help me clear it up!" Qu Li said.
"I must tell you everything I know!"
"Since the Shadow Pavilion's missions are endless, then why did someone who was tasked with assassinating Princess Chen just give up without a word?"
The deputy leader hesitated for a moment.
He also couldn't understand what his Pavilion Master was thinking.
Fortunately, the Pavilion Master sent a secret message at this time. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Of course it was the noble man who took action."
Qu Li frowned, "Then who is this noble person?"
"Princess Chen will know when the time comes! Right now, it's really inconvenient!"
Although these words did not solve Qu Li's doubts, they conveyed a lot of information.
It wasn't Xiao Xian who helped her solve her worries!
Whether it was the deputy leader or the leader in front of her, she believed that she had no relationship with them. Could they be the original owner's admirer?
Qu Li suppressed all the messy thoughts in his mind, left the deposit, and stood up to say goodbye.
The deputy leader entered the adjacent room and, seeing that his leader was obviously in a very good mood, he began to tease him a bit more.
"Pavilion Master, have you taken a fancy to Princess Chen?"
The Pavilion Master raised his eyes and said angrily, "You seem to be quite free lately?"
The deputy pavilion master touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, "There are still a lot of things to do!"
"There are four hall masters watching, what do you want?"
The tone was chilly.
The deputy leader quickly knelt on one knee and clasped his hands together: "This subordinate has overstepped the bounds!"
"Alright!" The Pavilion Master waved his hand. "Go and handle this yourself. Make sure you don't give anyone else any leverage!"
Qu Yuxing is such a cunning guy that he actually plotted against Qu Li. This time he will learn what it means to shoot himself in the foot!
Qu Li left the Shadow Pavilion and took many detours to reach the alley.
He hid in the space, changed back into women's clothes, and walked out of the alley again.
Zou Biao, who was looking for someone around the alley, rubbed his eyes.
He had clearly seen the princess walk into the alley just now, but he never saw her again.
Because he had lost the person, and this person was Princess Chen, Zou Biao did not recognize that the person walking out of the alley was the passerby that Xiao Xian had been frantically looking for recently.
Seeing Qu Li coming out of the alley again, Zou Biao was shocked.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he followed from a distance.
Qu Li had just climbed the ladder to the backyard wall when she felt a cold and evil breath sweeping towards her.
She greeted Xiao Xian, who was standing below with a gloomy look in his eyes, in a sullen manner.
"The prince is also out to admire the moon?"
Xiao Xian rebuked coldly: "Come down and talk!"
Qu Li sneered: "The scenery up here is even better, and it's closest to the moon!"
"Qu Li, count to three, or I will personally come and pull you down! I can't guarantee whether you'll break an arm, a leg, or even be disfigured!"
She pouted and came down from the ladder.
The two returned to the bedroom, and Xiao Xian dismissed everyone.
"Why did you sneak out in the middle of the night?"
"I said I'd enjoy the moon! When did I sneak out?"
"He's still stubborn!" Xiao Xian clenched his fingers.
He will have the wall raised higher tomorrow. He wants to see whether he builds the wall faster or her ladder is longer!
The two of them stared at each other.
Xiao Xian had a cold face and left in a huff.
He called Zou Biao to the study and asked him some questions, with a look of contemplation in his eyes.
"You said she walked into that alley and then suddenly disappeared?"
Zou Biao nodded and said, "I have searched the area nearby but have not found the princess!"
Guangping was surprised: "Could it be that the princess knows some kind of magic?"
Xiao Xian glanced sideways.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness! I spoke carelessly!" Guangping knelt down.
Xiao Xian waved his hand.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Zou Biao, "Take me to that alley and take a look."
Guangping followed him and searched the alley, confusion in his eyes.
Zou Biao understood his look and was a little annoyed: "Don't look at me like that! The princess just walked into this alley and then disappeared."
Xiao Xian carefully looked around the empty alley, which stretched to the end. With his hands behind his back, he asked, "Zou Biao, has anything strange happened since Qu Li disappeared?"
Zou Biao shook his head: "It's just gone."
"It's really weird!" Guangping frowned.
"So, what about when Qu Li comes back?"
After being reminded, Zou Biao thought seriously, his eyes suddenly widened: "I remembered something."
"explain!"
"When the princess disappeared, a man came out. I felt I had lost her and was anxious! When the princess appeared, I also saw a man walk in."
"What does the man look like?"
"Your subordinate..."
Zou Biao knelt on one knee, as if asking for punishment.
Xiao Xian had no choice but to call out the secret guards and ask some questions.
Before the secret guard followed Qu Li, Xiao Xian warned him not to show up unless his life was in danger.
At that time, the secret guard did not smell any blood or poison, so he did not show up.
He also wanted to follow Zou Biao to find Qu Li, but changed his mind.
Listening to the secret guard's description, Xiao Xian scoffed and sneered, "It's Lu Ren! I never thought that after searching for several days, he would show up here!"
"But Your Highness, there is no shelter here. Where did the princess go after meeting Lu Ren?"
Xiao Xian suddenly remembered those eyes that were full of confidence, and an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
