Hearing that Ji Fengming agreed with her ideas and plans, Ji Fengyao's eyes darted around, and she gave Ji Fengming and the others a mysterious smile, saying, "There's no need to turn the capital and the palace upside down. We can just stake out Song Huiru!"
"So you deliberately let Song Huiru go to lure out that person?" Shang Xiye looked up in realization, somewhat curious: "How can you be so sure that Song Huiru is definitely related to that person?"
Ji Fengyao, with an innocent and naive expression, replied, "I guessed!"
Everyone: "..."
If you weren't our group's darling, you'd probably get beaten to death.
“Think about it, Song Huiru is just a young lady from a secluded family. Even if she has the identity of a reborn person, she may be a little different from others. But when she entered the manor, she was clearly just an ordinary person. How come after we went to the Northwest and came back, she became a cultivator at the first level of the Spirit Gathering Realm? Can you believe that she didn’t get involved with some high-ranking person?” Ji Fengyao analyzed for everyone in detail.
"She's a cultivator at the first level of the Spirit Gathering stage?" Shang Xiye asked in surprise.
He had someone thoroughly investigate Song Huiru and confirmed that she was indeed an ordinary person.
"Yes," Ji Fengyao nodded firmly, "That day I had a conflict with her at the palace gate. She raised her hand to stop me, and I had direct contact with her. I can confirm that."
Shang Xiye nodded in agreement: "No wonder she has become more and more arrogant since returning to the capital; and the person who rescued her last night was no ordinary person. I did not sense his presence before he appeared."
"Then you're letting a tiger return to the mountain," Hei Xiao said, his brows furrowed, looking at Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao with strong disapproval.
Ji Fengyao chuckled and said, "Song Huiru is nothing, she's just a cat, and a cat at that, that led us to her true colors. I put a colorless and odorless tracking powder on her; even if she takes ten baths, it will leave a trace. We just need to follow the powder to find her whereabouts, then send people to lie in wait, and investigate everyone who has been in contact with her. We'll definitely be pleasantly surprised!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Ji Fengming exaggeratedly dropped the bowl in his hand, opened his arms and rushed over to hug Ji Fengyao: "Ah, little sister, you are so amazing, your brother loves you to death!"
"Get away from me!" Shang Xiye quickly reached out and pulled his wife into his arms, giving his brother-in-law a wary and disgusted look.
The following night.
Dressed in black night clothes, Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao, along with Wu Zhong, stealthily tracked Song Huiru to the mansion in the east of the city.
However, the group did not go inside. Instead, they lay in wait at a distance and observed carefully: the house looked very ordinary, no different from the houses of most moderately wealthy families in Kyoto.
To make sure she hadn't made a mistake, Ji Fengyao sprinkled some more revealing powder, and tiny fluorescent spots appeared on the rooftops and walls near the courtyard.
That was the tracking powder she secretly put on Song Huiru.
"This is it," Ji Fengyao whispered to Shang Xiye and Wu Zhong.
Shang Xiye nodded and instructed Wu Zhong, "Arrange for several of the most skilled men to stay around here and monitor the person in this house day and night. That person is very skilled, so remember to keep a safe distance and remain concealed. Report immediately if you spot anything!"
“Yes, Your Highness,” Wu Zhong replied, hands behind his back.
He left quietly and efficiently, immediately setting about making preparations.
Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao quietly returned the way they came, without even disturbing the three maids beside Ji Fengyao.
