Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

Pei Xuan looked at Gui Yao in surprise.

He opened his lips as if to say something, but Xiao Huaijin made the decision.

Pei Xuan was deeply in love and couldn't let go of his obsession. In the end, he gave his life for his love and died for it.

Holding the sword and the lamp, he was somewhat confused.

Pei Xuan had something to say, but Xiao Huaijin covered his mouth.

Gui Yao then looked at Xiao Huaijin, "The previous deal was to save his life, but now we're helping him die, so it'll have to be calculated separately. Let's make it 6,666 taels, for good luck."

The bald egg and mung bean eyes are bright and shiny. It can earn several thousand more taels of silver in one go. The master's ability to cheat money, or rather, to make money, is getting better and better.

If this continues, it will be able to live off its owner.

I wonder if this weeping man is willing.

Pei Xuan refused!

He vaguely understood Gui Yao's intention; he didn't want Yu Qinghuan to be upset for him, but after glancing at Xiao Huaijin, he chose to remain silent.

The prince treated him like a brother, and everything he did was for his own good. He couldn't let the prince down again.

Xiao Huaijin nodded, "Alright, but please handle this matter carefully, young lady."

The life of the Pei family's only son is something the Pei family would be happy to pay, whether it's 6,666 taels or 60,000 taels.

But this is contingent on Pei Xuan being safe and sound and moving on from this abnormal relationship.

"Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, Mao Dan will die ten times over."

Gui Yao smiled, her expression devoid of emotion. "Just die tonight."

With a flick of her sleeve, she said, "The dying need not speak."

To avoid creating unnecessary complications.

Xiao Huaijin instructed the swordsman and the guards to support Pei Xuan on either side, saying, "You two take him back first."

He handed the portrait to the lamp-bearer, saying, "Send a copy to Changxiangsi."

Gui Yao glanced at him indifferently, "Are you afraid that Yu Qinghuan is heartless and won't show up even if Pei Xuan is dead?"

"This is the first floor."

Xiao Huaijin nodded. "I was worried that she might be unable to appear because she wanted to."

Gui Yao nodded; she shared the same thought, and therefore did not intend to passively wait for Yu Qinghuan to appear.

"At present, his starting point was to deceive Pei Xuan, but his love for him is also real."

Otherwise, if she didn't want Pei Xuan to come looking for her, she could have just killed him; why expose herself the first two times?

"If that's the case, then what was the reason for the breakup?"

Gui Yao muttered to herself, thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so she changed her perspective.

"What would be the reason I separate from Mao Dan?"

"What?"

Xiao Huaijin didn't understand at first.

Gui Yao glanced at him. "Forget it, you don't even have a lover, asking you is pointless."

He's a bachelor, not even as good as her.

Xiao Huaijin didn't know what she was thinking, but when he received her disdainful look, he knew that she didn't want to continue the previous topic, so he changed the subject.

"I would like to ask you to do one more thing, young lady."

He told him about Pei Xuan's sister.

"If we can't find Yu Qinghuan, this is also an alternative."

Furthermore, Pei Xuan came to Dasheng with me, and I feel guilty about this incident. I also wish to help him find the person. If this is successful, I will reward him handsomely.

Gui Yao nodded. "Birthday?"

She first checked if the person was still alive.

Xiao Huaijin told him about Miss Pei's birthday.

Gui Yao did some quick calculations with her fingers and said, "Alive."

He then looked at Mao Dan and said, "Find my copper wire."

She had to use divination to determine the exact location.

We've made money again!

Mao Dan flew back to Xuanji Tower with great speed, with Gui Yao and Xiao Huaijin walking behind him.

Mao Dan knew exactly where the item was and quickly located it. Gui Yao then retrieved the item and performed some actions.

The conclusion is: "It's in the north, not in the south."

Xiao Huaijin said that Pei Liu was in Jiangnan. This news was either outdated, the person had changed, or it was wrong from the beginning.

"Where exactly could that girl be found?"

Gui Yao shook his head. "I am not a god."

She paused, then asked, "Do you know what they look like?"

If such women were to fall into the hands of human traffickers, they would either be sent to the wealthiest region in Jiangnan or to the most powerful place like the capital.

Perhaps we could ask bird enthusiasts who own bald eagles to keep an eye out for them.

"She looked extremely similar to Pei Xuan when she was young, I wonder what she looks like now."

Xiao Huaijin said, "But the Pei siblings all look quite similar, so she will probably resemble them when she grows up."

"I can't imagine it."

Gui Yao pushed the paper and pen in front of Xiao Huaijin, "Draw it."

Even though Pei Xuan was a skeleton, she could still tell that his bone structure was similar to Xiao Huaijin's; that was all thanks to her sharp eyes.

Xiao Huaijin quickly drew two pictures: one of Miss Pei when she was young, and the other of Pei Xuan before he became thin.

Gui Yao glanced at it and noticed that Pei Xuan and Xiao Huaijin looked even more alike when Pei Xuan was in his prime. "Who suggested going to the temple fair?"

"This king."

Xiao Huaijin asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Someone close to you has leaked information."

Yu Qinghuan clearly approached Pei Xuan intentionally; it was definitely not a chance encounter at the temple fair. So how did she know Pei Xuan's whereabouts?

And she always felt that Yu Qinghuan was really looking for Xiao Huaijin.

Between Xiao Huaijin and Pei Xuan, unless one is an enemy of Pei Xuan, regardless of appearance or status, anyone with a brain would find the former more worthy of approaching.

Thinking of Xiao Huaijin's face, a slight ripple appeared in Gui Yao's usually calm eyes.

With a beautiful scene in mind, the chaos before my eyes doesn't seem so unpleasant anymore.

Xiao Huaijin keenly noticed her change and asked, "A renowned chef recently joined the Zhenxiu Pavilion. It's almost lunchtime, so I'd like to invite you to the Zhenxiu Pavilion, young lady. What do you say?"

Gui Yao thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Let's deliver the food."

It doesn't taste good, and going out requires expending spiritual energy, so it's not worth it.

Xiao Huaijin was only testing her, and upon hearing this, he agreed.

When the servants from Prince Jin's residence brought the meal, they saw Gui Yao eat a few bites blankly before putting down his chopsticks, no longer enjoying the delicious food as before.

He was certain that Gui Yao was having a problem, not an emotional one, but a physical one.

"Tamaro!"

After Gui Yao went upstairs to rest, he found Mao Dan and asked, "What's wrong, Miss Gui Yao?"

Seeing that he cared about Gui Yao and was also the future son-in-law, Mao Dan told him that if Gui Yao didn't get married, he would lose his five senses and seven emotions and six desires.

But remembering the saying that people's hearts are unpredictable, he warned, "Although Master has lost those things, his spiritual power is still very strong, extremely strong for ordinary people."

Xiao Huaijin had no intention of harming anyone, so he didn't ponder the words carefully. He couldn't imagine what a world would be like without perception and emotions.

The vivid image of Gui Yao from before flashed through his mind, and a pang of pity inexplicably arose within him. Yet, he casually asked, "If we don't form a bond, wouldn't it be quite boring for her to stay like this forever?"

"How could it be boring?"

Mao Dan stretched his neck. "Yes, Mao Dan is here. Mao Dan will tell stories to his owner and find pretty things for her."

Xiao Huaijin was silent for a few moments. "What does she like?"

Mao Dan sized him up, his eyes darting around. "Master likes pretty things and people, and he especially likes things that are sparkly."

Xiao Huaijin recalled Gui Yao's dresses, each one made of gold or silver thread mixed with gauze, which were indeed very shiny.

Upon returning, he instructed the lanterns to be lit, "Pick out some beautiful jewelry, something eye-catching, and also send those two bolts of shimmering brocade from the storeroom to Xuanji Tower."

He agreed, curious but not daring to ask any more questions, until Xiao Huaijin said again, "Buy the land in front of Xuanji Tower and build a restaurant."

"Master, that place may not be suitable for opening a restaurant."

"It's alright."

Xiao Huaijin waved his hand, "Go and make the arrangements immediately."

No matter how skilled the chefs at the Prince's mansion are, the food delivered from the mansion will never taste as good as freshly made food. With a restaurant, it will be more convenient for her to eat.

He then recalled the way Gui Yao stared at him for a long time when they first met, and ordered, "Bring out the clothes I made with gold and silver thread."

He wore brocade robes to the banquet that day.

After saying that, he casually picked up a book, lowered his eyes, and began to flip through it.

The lamplighter opened his mouth.

Most of those gorgeous clothes were sent by Nan Yao, but the master preferred simplicity, so they were usually kept at the bottom of the trunk.

How come things are like this now...?

Seeing that the person was holding the book upside down, the lamp-lighter ultimately said nothing, turned around and left the room.

Never mind, as long as the master is happy.

Gui Yao was somewhat puzzled when she received the gift from Xiao Huaijin.

But I was too lazy to think about it deeply, and I didn't have time to think about it deeply, because the news of Pei Xuan's death came out shortly afterward.

"Hairy egg!"

Gui Yao called out to the bird, "Let's go to Prince Jin's residence."

Finally, she had the chance to meet the mysterious Yu Qinghuan. She wanted to see just who she was!
