Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

But I found nothing!

Where the eyes were originally placed, there was nothing but soft bedding.

The man in the black robe twitched his brow. "Someone come here."

His sinister tone suppressed a rage, and the servants guarding the outer room hurriedly brought in a lantern.

The room instantly brightened. "Master."

"Find the eyes."

The servants' hearts skipped a beat, and they hurriedly followed orders, becoming increasingly uneasy as they searched.

After searching the bed and floor thoroughly, he said in a trembling voice, "Master, please forgive me... I... couldn't find it."

She was on duty tonight, but she accidentally knocked out her master's eyes.

The servants knew best how important eyes were to their masters. Large beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, splashing onto the blue brick floor and spreading into a puddle, like a death warrant.

The man in the black robe stared intently at the servant, his two dark eyes seemingly bottomless, as if they were about to suck the servant in at any moment.

"I underestimated her."

Although she is blind, she will surely be able to detect anyone inside the house.

"I never imagined that after dying once, our Princess Baozhu would still have the ability to move objects from a distance."

His voice wasn't loud, but it felt like a dull knife scraping against bone: "For the past three years, I've put in so much effort, only to end up doing all the work for her."

The servant's legs went weak, but he still forced himself to ask, "Should we go and take it back?"

"Take it back?"

Her long fingernails dug deeply into the brocade, making a harsh sound. "It's time to take it back, but this time I want more than just her eyes."

It was the torment she inflicted on Baozhu back then that gave Baozhu her abilities today; Baozhu should be grateful to her.

Offering up her current physical body is a token of gratitude for what happened that day.

She looked out the window. "Continue the spell. This time, I want the lives of several high-ranking officials."

"this……"

The servant hesitated, "Will this cause you trouble?"

A condemned prisoner might not attract the attention of the imperial court, but it's a different story for officials.

Besides, what use is it for them to steal people's attention after their eyes have already been stolen?

The servants were puzzled.

"There will be trouble."

Her red lips curved into a sinister laugh, "But that's not my problem. It's best to find an official who's at odds with that Prince Nan Yao, ahahaha..."

Meanwhile, inside the Xuanji Tower, Gui Yao was face to face with Mao Dan, hands on hips, laughing loudly.

Unlike the sinister anger of the man in black robes, they were joyful.

"Master, have you really gotten your eyes back?"

Mao Dan stared into Gui Yao's eyes for a long time, never expecting that his master would accomplish something so quickly while he was out the door.

No wonder it's the owner of the bald egg!

Gui Yao moved her face closer to Mao Dan, blinked, and said, "It's absolutely true."

Like the Xuanji Bone, these eyes recognized their owner. She used spiritual power to enhance her consciousness, and the eyes seemed to have a mind of their own, actively returning to her body according to her perception.

Everything went surprisingly smoothly.

but.

"It consumed a lot of my spiritual power."

She pinched half of her little fingernail, "I only have this little bit of spiritual power left, and I can't return the mind that my eyes have captured to everyone."

She couldn't even conjure up a five-colored robe; she could only maintain this face.

Seeing that her lips were pale, Mao Dan quickly reported that he had been following her, as his master urgently needed spiritual energy.

"That child is the granddaughter of the Duke of Ningguo, and is very much loved by him. Her name is Du Lingxi. Tonight, she crawled out through the dog hole without the servants' knowledge."

He was both bold and meticulous; to avoid being followed, he deliberately took the route back through dark alleys.

They really think they're some kind of demon-suppressing monster, not afraid of encountering any villains at all.

Mao Dan muttered, "I flew around the Ningguo Duke's mansion several times, but I didn't find any monsters. The birds nearby haven't heard of this either."

"A perfectly good young lady, naming herself Yaksha, and even making her master go and catch demons—that's really strange."

"The children of the Duke of Ningguo..."

Gui Yao sat down on the chaise longue, propping his chin up. "The power in the capital mainly lies with the families of eight dukes and ten marquises, and these families are divided into two factions."

One faction was led by the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, the Empress's maternal family, while the other faction followed the Ningguo Duke.

The two dukes hold important positions in the court, vying for power and checking each other. If this young girl is the granddaughter of the Duke of Ning, it's not surprising that she would know about the case of the "Mind-Body Problem."

The Duke of Ningguo would definitely pay attention to important events in the capital as soon as they occurred. He wouldn't deliberately keep such matters a secret, and it wouldn't be difficult for a child to find out if he wanted to.

"Since they're not from the Black Robe's side, we don't need to keep an eye on Du Lingxi for now."

Gui Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Let's deal with the Mind Case first. I've retrieved the eyes, which means my identity has been exposed. The Black Robe will definitely retaliate. Tell the bird friends to keep an eye out."

Just as Mao Dan was about to respond, she suddenly smiled slyly and said, "She used to harm people by playing tricks on their food. If any bird enthusiasts find anything wrong with their food, remember to add something to it."

"Pooping?"

Mao Dan's eyes lit up.

If bird droppings fall into food, even the most exquisite delicacies will no longer be eaten.

Gui Yao nodded, wrote a note, took out a hundred-tael silver note, rolled it up, and tied it to Mao Dan's leg with a thin rope.

"I have no spiritual power now, so it's best if Qingqing doesn't go out. Give this to Zhangdeng and ask her to buy some birdseed and scatter it in the open space outside the building."

If the man in black robes was the one who gouged out her eyes, then the Xuanji Bone must have been extracted by her and should be in her hands.

Xiao Huaijin is still fine, which means Qingqing's plan has failed. She should take some action, but so far no one has contacted Qingqing.

Alternatively, after the Xuanji Bone was extracted and fell into the hands of others, the Black Robe was unaware that the Xuanji Bone had been returned to its rightful place.

Either the black-robed man is good at concealing his true intentions, or whatever the reason, it's safest for Qingqing to stay in Xuanji Tower.

Mao Dan nodded, "We really need to treat our bird lovers."

It couldn't help but look into Gui Yao's eyes again.

Gui Yao's eyes were already dark and bright, but now they are even more lively and beautiful.

"Master, has anything come to mind?"

Gui Yao shook her head. "No, but I feel like my vision is different now."

Previously, he relied on other people's five senses, which required spiritual power to maintain.

She withdrew all her spiritual power just now and can see normally again.

Mao Dan had already guessed, and hurriedly asked, "Then when you've accumulated enough spiritual power, and tested your skin again, maybe you can come back."

In this way, the owner's appearance can be completely restored.

"That doesn't seem feasible."

Gui Yao turned her head to look in the mirror. The woman in the mirror had bright eyes and white teeth. "I can only sense the Xuanji Bone and the eyes when they are right next to me."

As for her face, she guessed it was most likely that it had been used by the fake Baozhu.

The fake pearl is in Nanyao under the identity of the Great Sheng Peace Envoy. She cannot leave the capital to go to Nanyao for the time being, but when the time is right, she can lead her back to the capital.

"Alright, I'm going to take a nap. You go and deliver the message quickly."

Seeing her listless expression, Mao Dan hurriedly left the house and flew towards the Prince Jin's residence, but couldn't help glancing in the direction of the Duke of Ning's residence.

That's the owner's next wish; it will keep an eye on it again when it has time.

Du Lingxi, who was being nagged by it, returned home, changed into her nightgown, took a short nap, and then sat up in bed.

The sky was already turning a pale white, and my grandfather and father had already gone to court at this hour.

She tiptoed out of the room, avoiding the servants, and went to a courtyard, where she darted into a room like a cat.

He lay on the ground, holding his breath, and peeked half his head out from the outside into the room.

Inside the inner room, the bed curtains were half-open, and a sweet, fishy smell wafted out, so strong that Du Lingxi covered her nose.

The woman, her clothes half-open, moved undulatingly in the tent, her long, black hair cascading down like a waterfall, wrapping around the man beneath her like black satin in the dim light.

She made sounds that Du Lingxi didn't understand, but seemed to understand at the same time.

The woman would sometimes bend down to kiss the man's lips, and sometimes tilt her head back and lick her own lips, which were as red and full as a ripe pomegranate.

Du Lingxi clenched her fists, her movement causing her to catch her breath. The man immediately looked over and said, "Someone's here."

The woman's stunningly beautiful face slowly turned over, her gaze landing on where Du Lingxi was hiding. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her red lips curved into a gentle smile.

She turned the man's face with her slender fingers, leaned down and breathed sweetly into his ear, "With me here, what are you afraid of? Just wait."

She stretched out her long legs, landed barefoot, and walked towards where Du Lingxi was hiding. She lightly licked her lips, and her eyes held a bloodthirsty smile, like a man-eating demon.

Du Lingxi was so frightened that she turned and ran away...
