Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

Midnight, Xuanji Tower.

After Gui Yao fell asleep, Xiao Huaijin quietly got up and went to the library of Xuanji Tower.

Mao Dan was already waiting there. Upon seeing him, he couldn't help but complain, "Your Highness, you're not married yet. Don't get too close to my master. If she accidentally gets pregnant, I'll definitely break you up."

Xiao Huaijin gently tapped the bird's head, "What nonsense are you talking about? Yaoyao had something on her mind today, so I talked to her for a while. As soon as she fell asleep, I came to find you."

He hadn't figured out Zhang Bingsong's conspiracy yet, and with Yao Yao's safety at stake, how could he have the mind to indulge in romance?

Mao Dan snorted coldly, "Good that you know. The books are all here, Your Highness, go and find them."

After being reborn, the master had no memory and no common sense, but he knew that books were useful.

Over the years, whether buying, robbing graves, or looting, whenever he came across a book, he would take it all to the Xuanji Tower.

Especially when it first gained spiritual power but didn't know how to use it, its owner took it to search through many Taoist temples and monasteries.

That's how the Xuanji Tower's collection of books came about; it totaled over ten thousand books, many of which the owner himself hadn't had time to read.

Unable to understand Zhang Bingsong's conspiracy, the prince sought answers in books.

It spread its wings and pointed to a row of bamboo slips and obviously old and worn-out calligraphy, "These were obtained from ancient tombs and Taoist temples. Let's start looking from these."

"it is good."

Xiao Huaijin nodded. "If you're sleepy, go to sleep."

He is also sending people to search for books on secret techniques, and he will look at the Xuanji Tower tonight.

Mao Dan glanced at the sky and said, "Never mind, you're burning the midnight oil for your master, so I'll stay and keep you company."

Xiao Huaijin did not refuse and opened a bamboo scroll to examine it.

Mao Dan could read, but not much. He chatted idly with him, asking, "Do you think Zhang Bingsong will believe Zhang Ming left the capital?"

"Yaoyao will pretend to continue investigating."

Xiao Huaijin's eyes were focused as he replied, "Yaoyao will make him believe it."

"That's really strange."

The bald egg spread its wings and supported its chin.

"He killed Chai's husband's family just to get Chai, so why would he let her be with another man?"

Mao Dan said he couldn't understand human emotions.

"His actions against the Wu family were partly motivated by a desire to seize the Chai family's property, but I suspect it was more likely driven by possessiveness and a vengeful plunder."

Xiao Huaijin rolled up the bamboo slips, then changed to another one, and patiently and gently analyzed the situation with Mao Dan.

"Judging from the fact that Chai married into the Wu family and then avoided Zhang Bingsong in the years that followed, Chai should not have wanted to follow Zhang Bingsong."

A man like Zhang Bingsong, born into wealth and privilege and the designated heir to his family, is bound to be arrogant and believe that it is only natural for someone of Chai's background to choose him.

If Ms. Chai refuses, it will be a humiliation for him. He will definitely hold a grudge and believe that Ms. Chai is rightfully his and should be taken back.

Once the perpetrators succeed, the gratifying thrill of plunder dissipates. More than a decade later, the novelty wears off, and Chai's beauty fades...

Before he could finish speaking, he was pecked on the head.

Xiao Huaijin looked up from the bamboo slip, bewildered. "What's wrong?"

The frizzy egg flew in front of him and said fiercely, "When your master gets old, will you also despise her?"

"Not at all."

Although the fire inexplicably burned him, Xiao Huaijin calmly turned his gaze back to the bamboo slips.

"You said it yourself, I'm not as outstanding as Yao Yao. Between Yao Yao and me, I'm the one who should be worried about getting old and losing my looks and being abandoned."

After all, everyone believed that he rose to power because of his good looks, and even the emperor sent him many luxurious fabrics and ornaments.

It's practically saying outright, "Dress me up nicely to please my daughter's eyes."

However, he didn't mind. Looks are a skill, and besides, Yao Yao's love for him was more than just his looks.

Mao Dan realized what was going on and said, "That's true. But I must warn you, don't let my master down, or the Five-Colored Army won't let you off easily."

The last sentence was spoken in a lower voice, tinged with sadness.

Mao Dan felt that since the Five-Colored Army's soul had returned to its body, it should leave its master.

Xiao Huaijin noticed the change in its emotions, stroked the bird's back, and solemnly said, "Don't be afraid, I will work with Yaoyao to try to keep you here."

Mao Dan is Gui Yao's bird, and its thoughts are in sync with Gui Yao's. It doesn't think that someone who doesn't know any magic can help it in any way.

But it was touching.

It flew to Xiao Huaijin's shoulder and nuzzled against his neck. "Brother-in-law, that's so nice."

Xiao Huaijin laughed.

Brother-in-law when in trouble, Prince when not.

He wouldn't bother arguing with Mao Dan and continued researching the information.

Mao Dan helped look at it for a while, then got dizzy and started talking non-stop again.

"Zhang Bingsong's mind is too twisted. There are so many men in the world. Even if he despises Chai, he shouldn't have found Zhang Ming for her."

It started muttering, "Pian Chai knew nothing about it and gave birth to Zhang Ming's daughter."

The master once said that children born with their yin and yang reversed are mostly kind and gentle while alive.

But once he dies, all the pent-up resentment from the Heavenly Dao and the hatred of moral humiliation will erupt instantly, becoming an unparalleled malevolent force.

What will happen to the supreme evil spirit?

Xiao Huaijin suddenly grabbed it.

Mao Dan was suddenly grabbed in his hand, and was a little stunned. He subconsciously said, "The supreme ferocious demons slaughter the righteous path. They are born to be the enemy of the righteous path..."

The sound stopped abruptly!

The master averted disaster for the woman and guided her to a new life; she is the true path.

A pair of beady bird eyes met a pair of phoenix eyes, and in the next instant, the person and the bird spoke at the same time, "Chai Shiyue".

"Let's go find our master."

Mao Dan flew out first. "Those words were spoken by our master in the first year after his rebirth. At that time, we also encountered an absurd thing, and our master kept repeating these words."

It remembered it, but at that time, the owner's memory was measured in breaths. Some inexplicable memories would often pop into his mind, but he would forget them after a few breaths.

She certainly doesn't remember now, otherwise she would have seen through the Duke of Zhenguo's conspiracy, and they would have had to remind her.

"It's all my fault, why didn't I think of that before?"

The bird muttered to itself, "I hope Old Dog Zhang hasn't made a move on Chai Shiyue yet."

Xiao Huaijin quickened his pace, but he wasn't as flustered as Mao Dan.

The fact that Zhang Bingsong brought Zhang Ming to the capital shows that Zhang Ming also played a role in this matter.

But Zhang Ming has been hidden by Gui Yao, so Zhang Bingsong at least has to look for him.

Meanwhile, Guiyao is also in the past in dreams.

In my dream, she was dressed in white, with black-painted frizzy eggs standing on her hat.

A man and a bird squeezed into the crowd to watch the spectacle. The father, worse than an animal, extended his evil claws to his own daughter and even got her pregnant.

The mother was also a terrible person. After the matter was exposed, instead of helping her daughter, she blamed her daughter for being immoral.

Finally, he sold his daughter to a brothel for one or two taels of silver.

When the madam gave the woman an abortion pill, Gui Yao in the dream did not stop her, but only gave the woman a trace of spiritual power to help her repair her body.

Afterwards, Gui Yao wanted to take the woman away from the brothel and find her a place to stay.

Unexpectedly, the woman was also confused and questioned Gui Yao, asking why he couldn't save her child as well since he could rescue her from the brothel.

She said there was a wealthy man in the county who was infertile, and if she gave birth to a son or daughter, she could sell the child to the wealthy man's family.

Gui Yao turned and left in anger, but the woman chased after her, demanding her child back, and her shouts alerted the people in the brothel.

At that time, Gui Yao had few contracts and little spiritual power. After transferring it to that woman, he could only flee around with Mao Dan, being chased by the turtle slaves.

Afterwards, the woman and the bird hid in a big tree in the mountains, and she told Mao Dan about the incestuous pregnancy...

Gui Yao woke up at this time.

Upon waking, he heard a knock on the door, and the next moment, Xiao Huaijin and Mao Dan were standing in front of him.
