Foodie Yaoyao doesn't care, all she cares about is food.
…………
"Oh, there are delicious foods in the martial arts world too. I was worried about the lack of condiments. It seems I am short-sighted."
Bai Yaoyao happily returned to her room with a plate of carefully cooked beggar's chicken, a plate full of pickled mustard greens sesame cakes and a large bowl of porridge.
In the end, she did not go to the kitchen and was stopped by Manager Wang, who helped her arrange breakfast.
"Hey, let's ask the kitchen to prepare some Sichuan food next time. Nothing tastes good without spiciness."
…………
Just as Bai Yaoyao was eating a chicken leg in each hand with her mouth full of oil, Shangguan Xueyi had already started on the other side.
The method was naturally poisoning, and the one used was a chronic poison similar to bone-dissolving powder, which was also a rare poison. She had hidden several copies of the same poison in the little beggar's room. She believed that with a little guidance, this extremely rare poison would be a perfect match and it couldn't be a coincidence. The murderer was definitely there, and the fake could become real.
By the time Manager Wang's poison took effect, she had already returned to Yunlin County.
"Bai Yaoyao... Heh, if you don't die this time, you'll at least be skinned alive."
Shangguan Xueyi sat in the sedan chair, opening her mouth slightly and waiting for the maid beside her to feed her some fruit.
The fundamental purpose of her coming here was to get to know this 'apprentice', and she was too lazy to worry about the murder case, and Xiao Wu had almost nothing to do with her, so Sister Wuxin was confident.
What Shangguan Xueyi didn't know was that she had accidentally hit the jackpot and happened to identify the real murderer as Bai Yaoyao.

One more chapter.
Chapter 23 Shangguan Wuxin Returns
A few days passed in a flash. Without Shangguan Wuxin's harassment, Bai Yaoyao spent her days practicing and enjoying all kinds of delicious and expensive food. She lived a very comfortable life.
The only thing that made Yaoyao uncomfortable was the Yang Fire in her body. With the continuous expansion of her internal strength, coupled with the strange medicine soup she had to drink every day, the burning sensation was increasing rapidly.
Bai Yaoyao now has to eat a lot of ice cubes before going to bed in order to fall asleep peacefully, and even if she falls asleep, she can't sleep for long.
Anyone who has eaten spicy food before going to bed knows that it’s impossible to fall asleep because of the burning sensation in your stomach.
The burning sensation in Bai Yaoyao's body was more than the discomfort of eating chili peppers. Moreover, Bai Yaoyao had only achieved a small success in the first level of Hua Yin Gong. When the first level of Hua Yin Gong was perfected, the pain would be unbearable for ordinary people.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Dense silver needles shot out from the girl's fingertips, pierced straight through the iron bull's eye at a rapid speed, and then pierced into the wall behind it.
Its strong penetrating power is evident, and the girl's shooting angles are different, but all of them pierce the center of the bull's eye at a vertical angle. Obviously, the girl has also reached the pinnacle of the technique of controlling the flying angle of the silver needle through internal force.
The girl was not proud of this. Instead, she turned around, and her long hair spread out smoothly. In a place where no one noticed, several silver needles as thin as hair shot out from her hair and pierced straight into the iron sheet, but only five of them hit the center of the bull's eye, and the other three only hit the edge of the center of the bull's eye.
"Oh, it's still too difficult for me to use eight at once. After so many attempts, only five of them can hit the target accurately."
Bai Yaoyao muttered dejectedly, while reaching out and skillfully taking out the acupuncture needles on the iron sheet and the silver needles inside the wall behind the iron sheet and putting them away.
She was still not satisfied with the progress of the assassination. She had finally come to a martial arts world but if she didn't learn the assassination skills well, when she ran to a more difficult world in the future, she wouldn't even be able to protect herself, and it would be extremely difficult to complete the mission.
"It must be because it's too noisy outside... Could it be that Master has returned?"
The girl's eyes lit up, and she quickly took off her thin, seductive, revealing skirt, then changed into a cute, light pink skirt, tied a pretty girlish hair accessory, and walked out of the room, lifting her skirt.
He casually grabbed a servant who was in a hurry and asked about the whole process.
"Yao, Miss Yao... Wang, Steward Wang is dead!"
The moment he saw Bai Yaoyao, the servant was frightened for some reason, and his voice trembled a little. After waiting for Bai Yaoyao's permission to leave, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Are you so scared of me? I haven't done anything to scare you, have I?"
Bai Yaoyao looked at the disappearing servant in surprise, and then couldn't help falling into deep thought. Why did Manager Wang die suddenly?
He had prepared delicious food for her every day and had been very respectful and considerate to her. She was really reluctant to see him die like this.
"We have to go see what's going on!"
Soon, following the crowd, Bai Yaoyao met many female maids or male servants doing manual labor on the road. When they saw her, they all lowered their heads in fear.
"Strange, did I reveal my true identity? But I didn't kill Steward Wang, did I?"
With such doubts in mind, Bai Yaoyao came to the crime scene, which was Manager Wang's dormitory. She saw a pool of blood all over the floor. Many servants gathered around and whispered about it. When they saw Bai Yaoyao, they dispersed faster and those who should run away ran away in the blink of an eye.
She wanted to stop anyone and ask them questions but failed.
"Manager Zhang, what on earth happened?"
Bai Yaoyao had no choice but to ask the younger deputy steward.
"I don't know about this. I saw that Steward Wang didn't get up this morning, so I thought he was old and not in good health and was resting, so I ignored him. But when I had lunch at noon, I didn't see Steward Wang either. I sent the servants to check and saw this."
As Manager Zhang spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. His frightened eyes occasionally glanced at the blood on the ground. There was even a white sticky substance with bone residue in it, which looked very scary.
"This is... Could it be that someone has a grudge against Steward Wang? Seeing that I killed those two servants last time and couldn't find the murderer, they used a similar method to kill Steward Wang and then put the blame on the murderer?"
Bai Yaoyao came to this conclusion.
But doesn't this involve her?
"Why don't we wait for Master to come back, or report to the police? For now, let's keep the blood and water here as it is."
Bai Yaoyao gave a few instructions casually, then turned around and left. She still had to hurry up to practice, to catch up with the plot, to practice the Hua Yin Gong well and then let Shangguan Wuxin reveal it. By then, she should be able to get the third piece of information.
Although she thought about spending five redemption points to buy the third piece of information, she couldn't bear to do so. After much thought, she was reluctant to pay and decided to follow the plan of compensating the target.
After all, even if she got the third piece of information, she still had to practice Huayin Gong and help alleviate Shangguan Wuxin's poison. Nothing had changed.
When the turning point comes, if the system does not give you the third piece of information, you will have to spend redemption points.
…………
The poisoning death of Prince Xing's steward was too huge an event. After all, he was a steward in the Shangguan Mansion, and his strength was at the level of a third-rate master. Yet he was assassinated so casually that the news spread throughout the entire state within just one day.
Many people wondered if the protection provided by Shangguan Mansion was as leaky as a sieve, allowing people to enter and exit at will.
There are even many bandits who have coveted Shangguan's mansion and are eager to make a fortune while Shangguan is away.
And just when some brave bandits who were willing to take risks made preparations, they set off immediately.
But unfortunately, Shangguan Wuxin came back.
"Oh, you are so bold that you dare to break into my house."
Shangguan Wuxin, dressed in white, walked out of the door and threw the two thieves, who were tied up tightly together, out of the door with a swing of his hand.
The black cloth covering their faces had been torn off long ago. Those who recognized them knew that they were the famous twin thieves in the underworld. It was said that they were a pair of brothers, both of whom possessed the strength of first-class masters and had excellent tacit cooperation. More than a dozen business families had been robbed.
But now he was easily taken down by Shangguan Wuxin.
Shangguan Wuxin did not kill people at will, she just called in government officials to take people away for interrogation. Although, her current personality did not allow her to kill people at will.
Of course, if you really annoy him, the worst that can happen is that you change your identity, which is nothing more than changing your clothes.
If she wanted to kill someone, she would kill him at three o'clock in the morning, and even the King of Hell would not let him stay until four o'clock.
"I've been busy with toxins in my body these past few days, and I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen at home. I really can't rest in peace."
Chapter 24 Shangguan Wuxin's Game
Bai Yaoyao was practicing flying needle and hidden needle techniques in the snow lotus garden in the backyard. She was still wearing the same cute pink and white skirt as before. As her body fluttered, bringing gusts of fragrance, her every move was full of liveliness, cuteness and naturalness, but few people noticed that the tiny needles had already pierced into the core of the snow lotus.
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind the flowers. The girl's eyes flashed, and she turned around. A poisonous needle shot out from her loose black hair and shot straight into the eye socket on the figure's head.
The person stretched out two fingers very calmly and clamped it. She was wearing a pure white dress, energetic and pure, elegant and refined.
"Yaoyao, your needle hiding skills have improved a lot."
Shangguan Wuxin's eyes were half-closed, his gaze was gentle yet focused.
When the girl saw the face of the person who came again, her breathing suddenly became disordered. With her little face red and bare feet, she rushed straight to Shangguan Wuxin on the grass and threw herself heavily into her master's arms.
"Master, why did you come back so suddenly? It's very dangerous to come behind me silently, you know?"
"Your master is very powerful, how could I be hurt by you?"
Shangguan Wuxin lovingly helped the girl straighten her hair, and at the same time felt the yang fire in Yaoyao's body.
Well, the growth rate is still as expected, not much different.
"Yaoyao doesn't want me to come back? Then I'm going out." Shangguan Wuxin said as he was about to leave, but the girl hugged his waist tightly and he couldn't move.
"No, no, no, Master, you don't know how much I miss you. I even think about you when I go to sleep at night."
The girl's voice choked inexplicably, and Shangguan Wuxin reached out and picked up Yaoyao.
The soft butt sat directly on her arms, and the bells on her ankles rang.
"Okay, I'm back now, right? I won't leave from now on."
The yang fire has already been formed and everything has been prepared. Of course, she has to stay by the cauldron.
"really?"
The girl immediately showed her surprised little face, bright and full of surprise at what her master had just said.
"of course it's true."
Looking at Bai Yaoyao's obvious love and attachment to her, Shangguan Wuxin inexplicably felt itchy and instinctively stretched out his other hand to pinch the girl's face. When he withdrew his hand, he brushed the girl's pink lips, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Ah, Master's fingers are so tender and white, I really want to eat them...
The girl licked her lips involuntarily.
A smile flashed in Shangguan Wuxin's eyes. She dragged Yaoyao's little butt with one hand, let Bai Yaoyao lean half of her body on her shoulder, and then carried her back to Yaoyao's bedroom.
"I brought you a lot of ointments that can relieve the burning sensation in your body."
After returning to the room, Shangguan Wuxin took out two large boxes of ointment from somewhere and gave them to Bai Yaoyao.
"Master, you are so kind to me."
The girl's red eyes, which had just faded away, suddenly became redder again. She looked down at the box of ointment in her arms and was about to cry.
"Okay, you are my apprentice. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? Stop crying."
"I'm going to investigate the few people who died of poisoning recently. You can rest here now. I'll come and teach you how to practice when I'm free in the evening." Shangguan Wuxin reached out and patted the girl's back gently, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"Uh-huh."
The girl nodded hesitantly, fearing that the master would find out that she was the real murderer. This would surely ruin her good impression in front of the master and even expose her vicious side.
But in Shangguan Wuxin's eyes, Yaoyao's delicate little face was full of flaws.
He bit his lips hard, glanced at her hastily, and then lowered his head guiltily, as if he was afraid that she would know how cruel he was.
Even if she didn't know that Yaoyao had killed the two servants before, she could still see the clues.
"I just don't know if Manager Wang was killed by Yaoyao."
Shangguan Wuxin walked out of the room, frowning slightly. She was not going to blame Yaoyao for Manager Wang. After all, Yaoyao's life was related to her and she could not afford to lose her.
But the death of Steward Wang will affect the operating efficiency of the mansion. It will not be easy to train another steward who is familiar with the personnel arrangements of all the properties of the Shangguan family, big and small.
"Let's take a look first. I have a feeling that Manager Wang was not killed by Yaoyao. Although Yaoyao has a vicious heart, she is also reasonable. Unless it is too offensive..."
Shangguan Wuxin naturally wouldn't think that an experienced manager would offend Yaoyao for no reason.
Along the way, facing the servants who kept greeting her, Shangguan Wuxin showed a smile as bright as spring breeze, constantly gaining the favor of the servants in the mansion.
"Our master is so gentle, so handsome, and so skilled in martial arts."
"That's right, I guess there is no man in the world who is qualified to marry our master."
…………
Listening to the servants gradually walking away and talking in low voices, Shangguan Wuxin continued to leave with an unchanged expression.
She was so tired of hearing this that she almost got calluses on her ears. For her, getting married was simply out of the question.
She had no interest in men, let alone letting men touch her, and as for women...
For some reason, Shangguan Wuxin's mind suddenly popped up the look of deep admiration on Yaoyao's beautiful face.
