Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

"Master, are you sure your destined one is that heartless man?"

As soon as Gui Yao returned to Xuanji Tower, Mao Dan flew onto her shoulder and said impatiently, "But he's a homosexual, and he even abandoned his man."

"You heard how heartbroken that man was, Master. Would you like to double-check?"

It was so worried that Gui Yao would be the next one to cry.

"It's a misunderstanding."

Gui Yao explained for a moment, then made a startling remark: "Let's go dig up a grave tonight."

"Digging up graves?"

The topic changed so quickly that it took Mao Dan a while to process what was happening before he finally asked, "Whose?"

"Qi Yu".

Today, when she summoned the spirit, Qi Yu's soul did not appear. So she went to the City God Temple to inquire, but Qi Yu was not listed in the City God's records.

In other words, Qi Yu may not have entered the underworld, but it's also possible that he didn't die.

There are too many possibilities for lingering wronged spirits, and they are difficult to find. Let's dig up the grave first to rule them out.

"dig."

Mao Dan never objected to such things, but it continued to worry about Gui Yao, "Master, how do you know it's a misunderstanding?"

The women in the West Market said that men are masters of sweet talk, and he might be lying to you on purpose.

Gui Yao, wanting some peace and quiet, simply explained the situation and produced the contract, saying, "Here, this is the contract he signed."

Once I find that man's sweetheart through him and persuade her to form a bond with me, I will be able to obtain that power of will.

What a huge amount of willpower!

Hey!

Gui Yaoxiao's cunning.

Mao Dan was finally relieved, and then couldn't help but mourn for Xiao Huaijin.

"So, not only did he lose his virginity to you, but he also has to work for you for free?"

While the master was lustful, he also kept his eyes on that wish power.

Okay, it was worrying for nothing.

"What constitutes losing one's virginity? We call this mutual help."

She even agreed to be his fiancée and act as his shield.

However, I won't tell Maodan about this for now, lest it nag and disturb her sleep.

"Okay, Maodan, I'm sleepy."

Last night, she first took the antidote, then went to Changxiangsi, which exhausted her.

Mao Dan always felt that the phrase "mutual help" was not quite right.

But it couldn't figure it out for a moment, and feeling sorry for Gui Yao, it said, "Master, go to sleep. Mao Dan will go to Prince Jin's mansion to check on things."

Although its owner had a well-thought-out plan, it also knew itself and its enemy.

Gui Yao waved her hand, letting it go, and lifted the bed curtains to go to sleep. But when her gaze fell on the bed, she was startled.

The blankets were folded neatly, and the sheets had been changed.

Lying on the clean bed, she smiled and said, "I knew I had good taste."

The man she chose was not only extremely handsome, but also very hardworking.

Before Gui Yao could even think about where the dirty bedding had gone, Mao Dan flew over in a panic.

"I forgot, I'm going to die."

Its beady eyes reddened with anxiety. "Master didn't take the contraceptive soup. What if she gets pregnant with a human child?"

The owner cannot get pregnant now.

"Also, the master can no longer talk about mutual help, otherwise people will think he is not modest."

Gui Yao had no such knowledge, but she believed in Mao Dan because it often mingled in places where humans gathered, listened to human gossip, and learned human common sense.

Upon hearing this, she struggled to sit up from the soft bed. "Then I'll go get the medicine now."

She hasn't even sorted out her own affairs yet, so she can't have another baby out of nowhere.

As for being reserved? What is that?

Never mind, I'll ask Mao Dan when I have time.

Meanwhile, at Prince Jin's residence, Zhijian looked at the neatly folded bedsheets with a deep frown.

After the prince bathed and entered the palace, he gave the prince's clothes to the maid to wash.

Before long, the maid returned with a folded cloth and told him to ask the prince before deciding whether to wash it.

Why ask why I'm wielding this sword? If it gets dirty, I'll just wash it.

The maid replied, "These are bed sheets."

Even with a sword, you still don't understand: you have to wash the bed sheets if they're dirty.

Although the bed sheet didn't look like it belonged to the manor, the prince put it with the dirty clothes so it would be washed.

The elderly maid insisted, and even looked like she was doing it for his own good.

Having been an orphan since childhood, without parents or relatives to guide him, and having grown up with Xiao Huaijin, he was puzzled by his lack of understanding of swordsmanship and stared at the bed sheet for a long time.

If the maid hadn't reminded him not to touch it, he really would have liked to open it and see for himself.

When Xiao Huaijin entered the room, he saw him deep in thought. "What's wrong?"

After saying that, his gaze fell on the bed sheet he had brought back, and his ears inexplicably felt hot.

He coughed lightly. "Why didn't you take it to wash?"

When he got up, he saw bloodstains on the bed. Thinking it inappropriate to ask the lamplighter to clean up the mess, he changed the sheets himself and took them back to the palace to wash them.

"It was taken, but it was returned. They said I should ask the prince about it."

Holding his sword, his thirst for knowledge was palpable. "Your Highness, what is the reason for this?"

Xiao Huaijin was also taken aback. Not washing?

After a long while, he picked up some words about Yuan Pa from his childhood memories, and then, thinking that the person in charge of washing clothes was a married woman, he probably would understand what was going on once she saw the bed sheets, so he returned them to him.

He then pressed his fist to his lips and said, "Then let's leave it for now."

Fearing that the swordsman would question him again, he hurriedly said, "If anyone from the Ministry of Revenue or Chang Xiang Si comes to the door, just say that I am not here."

Yesterday, the Minister of Revenue publicly invited him to a banquet. At the banquet, he learned about Pei Xuan's matter and rushed to Changxiangsi.

That night, the eldest son of the Minister of Revenue went to find Chang Xiangsi, as they had a young, unmarried girl of marriageable age.

He just told the Emperor of Dasheng that he was drugged yesterday and that he already has a fiancée.

He is a peace envoy. Even without concrete evidence, the emperor will take the initiative to investigate and give him an explanation for the sake of peace between the two countries.

The punishment for the Minister of Revenue and Chang Xiangsi will be severe; those punished will likely have to come to plead for leniency.

This is the source of his confidence as the great Southern Yao Kingdom; he will not be merciful to those who plot against him.

The topic of swordsmanship was changed, and he was no longer fixated on the bedsheets. More than an hour later, lamplighter also returned.

"Your Highness, I have been searching for more than two hours at the border between the East and West cities, but I have not seen Xuanji Tower or the Five-Colored Bird."

However, my subordinates learned that the land was bought by a woman named Gui Yao more than a month ago, but she hasn't started construction.

She looked at Xiao Huaijin, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Could it be that Your Highness has encountered some kind of fox spirit or monster?

Although she didn't believe in this, she was an excellent tracker, yet she couldn't find a single trace of Xuanji Tower.

She couldn't help but think more.

"No?"

After leaving Xuanji Tower, Xiao Huaijin looked back and saw the two-story building with white walls, wooden structure, and green tile roof standing there clearly.

And the memory of last night is so vivid; the sheets are still there.

After thinking for a moment, he stood up. "I will personally take you there."

Mao Dan hid in the dense branches of the tree, watching Xiao Huaijin lead two guards on horseback towards Xuanji Tower, taking a shortcut home.

The lantern lingered outside the Xuanji Tower. It had seen her, but she was not destined to enter.

Unless the master uses spiritual power to bring her in, but the master's spiritual power is all transformed from willpower, it is extremely precious.

I can't bear to part with balut (fertilized duck egg).

Xiao Huaijin arrived at Xuanji Tower and looked up to see Mao Dan squatting on the gatehouse with its green tiles and flying eaves, watching him.

Their eyes met, and Mao Dan completely believed Gui Yao's words; Xiao Huaijin was her destined one.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to see the Xuanji Tower.

It flew to Xiao Huaijin and chirped twice as an apology for misinterpreting his words.

"There really are birds."

The man with the lamp was surprised, "But I still can't see any houses."

Xiao Huaijin looked at the swordsman.

Holding the sword, he looked bewildered. "I didn't see it either."

Mao Dan was smug; her master's spiritual power had created an illusion that ordinary people couldn't see.

Thinking about what Gui Yao was going to do that night, the bird's eyes darted around, and it chirped twice, signaling Xiao Huaijin to follow.

The master has someone to dig the grave tonight, hehe!
