From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

You can't confirm anything based on just a piece of cloth.

But the old woman said that this fabric was a gift from the palace, and ordinary people could not possibly have it, at least not within the city of Yongqiu.

"Very likely!"

On the way back, Chen Shi pondered repeatedly, becoming increasingly convinced of his point.

The probability that the second wife is the woman from the Fufeng Society is extremely high!

If that's the case...

Chen Shi wanted to get close to the Second Madam, and he was currently looking for an opportunity. Since both of them were members of the Fufeng Society, wouldn't it be much easier for them to get closer?

Actually, that's secondary. The most important thing is that this means Chen Shi has caught the Second Madam red-handed!

It should be understood that the Fufeng Society is not only a Jianghu organization, but also, because of its secretive and unscrupulous methods, it is by no means a righteous sect, but more like an evil one.

The Second Madam of the Marquis's Mansion is actually a member of the Fufeng Society, a sorcerer. If this gets out, where will the Marquis's Mansion put its face? How can the Second Madam face herself with such self-deprecation?

Therefore, the second wife must absolutely not let anyone know about this.

If Chen Shi had this leverage over her, it wouldn't be difficult for him to get her to help deal with Gu Chengze, let alone anything else.

It's always easier to get someone to do something by finding something they can't use against you than to ask them for a favor.

"Very good!"

Thinking of this, Chen Shi couldn't help but feel excited.

Originally, he wanted to seek refuge with the second wife, but unexpectedly he discovered her secret. This was a lucky accident!

Yes, the Second Madam may seem to live a secluded life, but in reality, it's to avoid attracting attention and make it easier for her to sneak out of the Marquis's residence to participate in various activities of the Fufeng Society.

Moreover, Zhe Liu had told him from the beginning that the Fufeng Society was extremely powerful, with members all over the world, and even some powerful and wealthy people were members of the Fufeng Society.

Although the second wife has a noble status, it is not impossible for her to be a wife.

The more Chen Shi thought about it, the more convinced he became that it was true!

But then, Chen Shi frowned again.

How can I expose her?

As I said before, a single piece of cloth is not enough to identify the second wife.

To gain leverage over her, Chen Shi needs even stronger evidence.

Actually, it's too early to say all this. What he needs to do first is to confirm that the Second Madam is indeed the woman from the Fufeng Society.

How can I confirm this?

If the second wife is that woman, there should be masks, cloaks, or similar items hidden in her room.

Chen Shi could go and secretly check it out.

But then Chen Shi shook his head.

inappropriate.

The Second Madam would surely keep such a thing extremely well hidden; he might not be able to find it.

Most importantly, that is the residence of the second wife of the Marquis of Jing'an, so the defenses must be extremely tight, and the second wife herself is also quite powerful.

Once caught, it will be an absolute disaster!

Even if he finds those items, he still can't completely identify the Second Madam based solely on the mask and cloak.

What method should be used?

Chen Shi frowned deeply and pondered this question for the next few days.

"You were looking for me."

Late that night, Chen Shi was meditating to nourish his spirit when he suddenly heard the sound of willow branches breaking outside the window.

During the day, Chen Shi carved the character "见" (see) on a stone, and Zhe Liu indeed arrived that very night.

Chen Shi got up and came out, only to see Zhe Liu standing in the middle of the courtyard dressed in black.

Does she have some other plans for tonight?

Once you enter Fufeng, there is no turning back. The other members are far from having as much free time as Chen Shi, who is the Holy Son. Even though Zhe Liu is his wingman, he is often assigned to other tasks.

Chen Shi didn't waste any time and simply explained the situation.

Zhe Liu knows more about the Fufeng Association than he does, and perhaps he has some solutions.

"The Shen family."

Zhe Liu also looked surprised, and then gave another hum.

"The Marquis of Jing'an's mansion is truly a place where hidden talents reside."

Speaking of which, before becoming Chen Shiyan's henchman, Zhe Liu was demoted to the "Yabu" and was once assigned to assassinate Gu Chengze in the Jing'an Marquis's mansion.

Therefore, she also had some understanding of the Jing'an Marquis's residence.

Chen Shi had many questions about Zhe Liu's last assassination attempt and had asked her about it before.

First, it was discovered who injured Zhe Liu, but unfortunately, Zhe Liu did not know the person's identity. This was because the person had already cultivated to the late stage of the seventh rank, with their blood energy solidified and covering their entire body. In addition, due to the darkness of the night, their true appearance was completely obscured.

The Jing'an Marquis's mansion actually has quite a few experts of this level.

Then there's the question of why Zhe Liu injured Xiao Fengxiao, but to Chen Shi's shock, Zhe Liu said she didn't injure Xiao Fengxiao and hadn't even seen her that night.

If that's the case, how did Xiao Fengxiao get injured?

She made it clear to Chen Shi that she had been injured by an assassin and had been struck by the assassin's insidious palm strike. It was because of this that she had no choice but to have Chen Shi force out the poison.

He gradually became addicted, even to the point of wanting to "go to Hong Kong" with Chen Shi.

Zhe Liu would never lie to Chen Shi, so could it be that Xiao Fengxiao lied?

But Xiao Fengxiao was indeed injured, and following her guidance, Chen Shi did indeed find the injured Zhe Liu.

Could there have been other assassins that day?

After questioning the person involved, many doubts and inconsistencies arose regarding the events of that night. However, considering that it didn't really concern him, Chen Shi simply didn't pursue the matter any further.

"Do you have any way to confirm her identity?"

"Confirm her identity..."

Zhe Liu hesitated for a moment, then frowned.

"Proving that the Shen family are members of the Fufeng Society is very difficult."

After all, the other party is the second wife of the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion. First, it is difficult to investigate her. Second, even if there is some evidence, unless it is irrefutable, she cannot be "taken down".

Chen Shi sighed. He had thought that with Zhe Liu's understanding of the Fufeng Society, he might be able to come up with a solution. Now it seemed that he had been overthinking things.

"However, it will be much easier to confirm that the person from Fufeng Society is from the Shen family."

Just as Chen Shi was feeling dejected, Zhe Liu suddenly spoke again.

Ok?

Chen Shi's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Zhe Liu with a puzzled expression. Was there a difference between the two?

"Of course they're different."

Zhe Liu gave a light snort and said in a deep voice.

"Once she appears as a member of the Fufeng Association, we can remove her mask and confirm her true identity."

"……yes!"

Chen Shi was taken aback, then suddenly understood, and couldn't help but show a look of joy.

The Fufeng Society member and the Second Madam of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion are the same person, but their status and position are completely different.

Chen Shi couldn't do anything about the second wife of the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, so dealing with an ordinary member of the Fufeng Society would be easy.

"But how do we find her?"

After his initial excitement, Chen Shi suddenly frowned and asked a question.

The second wife of the Marquis of Jing'an lives in that courtyard; she's easy to find.

But who knows when or where that member of the Fufeng Society will appear?

Without knowing her whereabouts, everything else is nonsense.

We can't just keep waiting outside the second wife's courtyard.

But then the problem arises again: the Second Madam's status is so noble, how easy would it be to monitor her?

"Speaking of which, there might be an opportunity right now."

After a slight pause, Zhe Liu spoke again.
