Chapter 293 Transition
As the other heroines left, Li Tianer, Su Wanqing and Lin Xuewei did not stay long and soon left together. At this moment, they were gathered in a secluded house. The moonlight was pale, and their faces were also somewhat uncertain.

"The group leader... just disappeared like that?" Li Tian'er was the first to break the silence, his tone full of disbelief, "That idiot Xiao Jiu was actually killed, this is unexpectedly a good thing. But the group leader... what on earth is going on?"

Su Wanqing frowned and snorted, "Who knows? I thought I was going to win the jackpot this time, and I could catch the oriole behind me, but in the end I still got nothing."

Lin Xuewei was relatively calm, but her eyes were still filled with confusion. She whispered, "The leader of the group... could actually disappear without a trace under the eyes of so many people. Doesn't that mean it's impossible to catch him?"

Several people complained a few words, venting their frustration. Under the moonlight, they all looked a little depressed, after all, seeing the credit they had achieved just go away, no one would be willing to accept it.

After a moment, Li Tianer rubbed his brows and asked irritably, "What should we do next? Xiao Jiu is dead, and Si Ren won't be able to reach the capital for a while. Can we...can we do something during this period?"

At the end of her words, a hint of eagerness flashed in her eyes.

Hearing this, Su Wanqing glanced at her and asked, "What? What do you want to do?"

Lin Xuewei added: "Judging from what happened to Xiao Jiu tonight, the group leader is not a simple person. If the three of us go there alone, I'm afraid we will end up like Xiao Jiu."

"Then...then join forces with other heroines?" Li Tianer suggested hesitantly.

"Join hands?" Su Wanqing sneered, "Li Tianer, you may have forgotten what kind of character we heroines are. If Xiao Jiu had arranged a successor before her death, it would be fine. Everyone would definitely accept it and listen to her command, but Xiao Jiu didn't.

In addition, we can't contact Minister Feiwu now. In this case, the heroines will definitely not submit to each other and will fight each other for this position. It is impossible for the position of the temporary person in charge to be decided. There is no way we can cooperate at all."

Lin Xuewei also nodded and added, "What's more, we have to come up with a new plan and implement it smoothly before Si Ren arrives in the capital to catch that slippery group leader... Do you think it's possible? If we fail, when Si Ren arrives and finds out that we want to gain merit before her, what do you think she will do to us? By then, we will lose both the lady and the army, and it will be a thankless task."

Li Tianer was speechless, and the hope on her face gradually died. She kicked the stone on the ground in frustration: "Then...then what should we do? Just wait like this?"

"What else?" Su Wanqing asked back, "We can't do anything now, and we can't change anything. The ones who can decide the direction of the situation are Si Ren and the others. We just have to wait and watch the show."

Li Tian'er was still a little unwilling: "If that's the case, then shouldn't we... take the initiative and show our good will to Si Ren?"

Lin Xuewei glanced at her and said calmly, "Show goodwill? What can we do to show goodwill? How can we have the capital to please Si Ren?"

"At least tell her exactly what happened tonight?" Li Tianer said unwillingly.

Su Wanqing shook her head, she looked up at the full moon in the night sky and said, "It's not necessary. I've heard some good things about Si Ren. Even if I did this little thing, she wouldn't appreciate it. And if it goes as expected, someone should have already informed Si Ren privately."

Far away, in a simple inn room, Xiao Cui was also looking at the full moon outside the window. She yawned tiredly, then glanced numbly at Si Ren, who was leaning on the couch beside her with an ecstatic look on his face.

"What? Xiao Jiu is dead?!" Si Ren suddenly shouted in surprise.

In a temporarily opened dialog box on the chat group interface, a female protagonist named Su Lianyue's avatar flashed, and a line of words appeared: "Yes, it's true, I personally confirmed the body."

Si Ren first burst into a hearty laugh: "Hahahaha! Good death! Wonderful death! This blind slave finally got her retribution!"

She laughed so hard that her body shook uncontrollably. Then, as if she realized something, she coughed a few times, restrained her smile, and replaced it with a compassionate face. She sighed, "Alas, I clearly advised her to be careful and not act recklessly, but she just wouldn't listen and was too arrogant and conceited. What a pity, what a pity, the world has lost another sister who dares to think and do." After pretending to sigh, Si Ren immediately regained his interest and asked, "Quick, tell me in detail, how did Xiao Jiu die? With so many great heroines around him to help him, he was actually killed by a native emperor of the male frequency world. He must have done something extremely stupid!"

"Yes." Su Lianyue responded respectfully, and then recounted in detail how Xiao Jiu designed to seduce the emperor, how he was counter-plotted, and finally how he was killed by the emperor in the bedroom.

Si Ren, who was originally expecting to hear a joke, gradually lost her smile as she listened, and her expression became more serious. After Su Lianyue finished speaking, she was silent for a moment, and then confirmed a few details in succession.

"Did Xiao Jiu really arrange for the assassination of the Ninth Princess?"

"That's true."

"Is the emperor really pretending to be sick?"

"Yes."

"You... did you really see Xiao Jiu being killed in the palace? And did you confirm the body?"

"Yes, absolutely true."

"After that, you immediately sealed off the palace and searched the ground thoroughly, but you didn't even find a single hair of the leader?"

"That's right, the leader of the group seemed to have evaporated into thin air."

After all the questions were answered in the affirmative, Si Ren leaned back slightly, uttered a noncommittal "Ha", and said in an indistinct tone: "You have some skills."

She paused and added, "It seems that it is not too unfair for Xiao Jiu to die at its hands."

Su Lianyue's heart was moved when she heard Si Ren's words. She cautiously asked, "Master Si Ren... you don't think the group leader is difficult, do you?"

Si Ren was stunned when he heard this, and then he sneered with disdain: "Difficult? Su Lianyue, are you comparing me with people like Xiao Jiu? Don't be ridiculous! The level of the group leader is indeed difficult for you to deal with, but for me, he is no different from other male pig men. They are just trash that can be killed in a few moves."

Su Lianyue was frightened by Si Ren's unfriendly tone, and hurriedly said in panic: "I am ignorant and stupid. I dared to question your ability, Senior Si Ren."

"That's enough." Si Ren waved his hand impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense. I'm still some distance away from the capital, so go and inform the others immediately. No one is allowed to act rashly before I arrive in the capital! If anyone dares to disobey me, I'll make sure she's in a state of misery when I get there!"

"Yes! Yes!" Su Lianyue responded repeatedly.

Si Ren closed the water mirror and turned to Xiao Cui, who was already drowsy, and ordered, "Xiao Cui, pack your things. We are not going to sleep anymore. We will leave at night."

Although she was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, Xiao Cui just trembled slightly and numbly responded, "Yes, grandma."

A moment later, two figures quietly walked out of the inn and blended into the deep night. Under the cold moonlight, they walked one after the other towards the capital.
