Could something have happened?
If she was going on a long journey, the master should have informed her in advance, but when she went out that time, the master did not look like she was going on a long journey at all.
Thinking about how she went to the courtyard every day before leaving Liangzhou, but never waited for her master to come back, she finally had to leave a letter.
Only then did Ji Changying realize that her understanding of her master was only superficial.
She knew nothing about her master's past, and she didn't know where to go if she needed to find him.
Including those men in black before, no matter how Ji Changying asked indirectly, Ren Dongnan never told her.
Thinking of this, Ji Changying became even more restless.
What happened to her master? Was the person she saw today...
“Knock knock.”
Someone knocked gently on the window.
When Ji Changying saw that it was Dasha who came home to report the news, he narrowed his eyes and tiptoed out of the room.
"master···"
As Dasha opened his mouth, Ji Changying stopped him and motioned for him to follow.
After finding a more secluded place, Ji Changying turned around and looked at Dasha and asked, "Tell me, how is the situation at home?"
Seeing this look, Dasha's scalp tingled. "When the news was delivered home, your mother was clamoring to come and take you back. The eldest lady and the eldest master were at home trying to persuade her, and the rest of the family had gone out to get the news."
Ji Changying nodded.
Her mother was straightforward and didn't have any complicated thoughts. If she knew that she was locked up here and couldn't go back, she would definitely come and pick her up.
Fortunately, my aunt and uncle were still rational and persuaded her.
"After informing them of the news, your mother has been comforted. However, she said...she will come early tomorrow morning and go home with you."
He had never seen anyone with such a straightforward mind, and this was the capital city!
The one holding everyone here right now is the Criminal Investigation Department! The Criminal Investigation Department directly under the Emperor!
This is not someone who can be offended by just anyone. This princess who changed her career halfway is not really afraid of angering the emperor and being beaten back to her original form...
"Juefeng, come to think of it, you should have been from the capital before, right?"
Ji Changying's sudden call stunned Dasha.
Cold sweat immediately seeped out of his back: "Juefeng is already the past, and I am just a fool now."
"It's a dark and windy night, perfect for a heart-to-heart talk. Why don't we talk about your former master, the Grand Master?"
Jue Feng was silent.
"Speaking of which, it was I who asked Master Huang to remove the poison from your bodies. Moreover, you are now all branded as slaves and have become slaves. Even if that so-called Grand Master stood before me, you would still be my slaves."
"Besides, he didn't seem to care at all when so many of your companions died. He kept you as nothing more than cats and dogs."
"I'm different. If you two behave well, I can consider removing your slave status and setting you free. This princess always keeps her word."
Jue Feng's expression changed when he heard the last part: "We don't know who the Grand Master is. We are all orphans, taken in on a mountain since we were young, and then someone taught us martial arts and... killing."
Once you get started, things will be much easier.
Juefeng and the others were specially trained killers, and their life stories and ancestral origins were unknown.
From the moment they were brought to the mountain, they began to be brainwashed and told to be loyal to their "master" for the rest of their lives.
As for who this master is, none of them knows. They only know that every three months a masked man in black would come to check on them. However, the person who taught them said that the man was not their master, but the Grand Master.
As for the mission of killing, all of them were ordered by this great national master.
In order to better control them, in addition to daily brainwashing, they are fed poison every three months.
Ji Changying raised an eyebrow: "When you killed my master, your tone of voice seemed to be that you knew him. Why?"
Jue Feng was a little surprised: "You still don't know?"
Ji Changying had a blank expression on her face: "What should I know?"
Jue Feng had a complicated expression: "Your master, Ren Dongnan, also came from there."
There was no expression on Ji Changying's face, but she was extremely shocked in her heart.
Her master, Ren Dongnan, was actually a killer trained by the previous dynasty?
"Although we were all trained in the same way, we are divided into three classes: Heaven, Earth, and Human. Your master, Ren Dongnan, is a killer belonging to the Heaven class. There are only three of them in the entire mountain."
"So, you are..."
A trace of shame flashed across Jue Feng's face: "I am 'Earth'."
A flash of realization crossed Ji Changying's face. "Then how did my master escape from that place?"
Jue Feng shook his head: "The details are not something we can know at this level. I only know that Ren Dongnan is very powerful and has been around for many years."
"It is said that after that, the talent in the mountain dwindled, and each generation was inferior to the previous one. Five years ago, the Grand Master somehow found out his whereabouts and tried to persuade him to return. However, Ren Dongnan was always unwilling to do so. The Grand Master also changed from cherishing his talent to hunting him down."
Ji Changying understood that this was a standard case of destroying something if you can't get it.
"I see. You should know where your mountain is, right?"
Jue Feng looked at her in shock: "You're not planning to go there?"
Ji Changying frowned: "Why not?"
"The mountain is heavily guarded and the terrain is steep. Even if I do get in, I'll be facing over a thousand assassins. Someone like me isn't considered that powerful there. I can only be considered below average."
Juefeng will now evaluate his own skills very objectively.
He hoped that Ji Changying would give up this idea after listening to him.
After all, if this person died, where would they find freedom?
"I understand. Stay with my brother tonight and protect his safety!"
Ji Changying didn't react much after hearing this.
Such an attitude made Juefeng feel a little uneasy.
He just knew it!
A daughter is like her father. The master's mother is a very stupid person. How can this daughter be any good?
It's obvious that he is determined to go!
Ji Changying slowly walked back to her room, searching the entire temple with her mental power, trying to find the figure she had seen during the day.
Suddenly she stopped and found it!
Suppressing her inner excitement, she tiptoed quickly and ran in that direction.
——
"Have you found any suspicious people?"
Chuan Qiong looked embarrassed. "No, the temple is basically full of well-known figures in the capital. Even the servants they brought with them have been investigated, and there is nothing wrong with them. Those common people are all from nearby families and have proven their origins. The last person Prince Yongle saw before his death was his personal attendant. I have questioned him many times but have not found any problems."
