The steward was almost scared to death: "Master, Master, I am not an assassin, not an assassin."
Why was he so unlucky tonight? The steward was on the verge of tears.
Long Yi was full of disbelief: "If you are not an assassin, why are you in the Prince’s room at the third watch of the night? Quickly confess, or don’t bla the sword in my hand for being ruthless."
After speaking, he exerted force, and the steward felt a pain in his neck, scared out of his wits and scread: "Hero, spare my life, Hero, spare my life, I am truly not an assassin."
Xuexue stepped forward and pulled away Long Yi’s sword: "Alright, alright, stop making a fuss, he’s not an assassin."
Long Yi, bewildered, looked at the steward on the ground and asked: "You’re not an assassin? If not, why are you in the Prince’s room at the third watch of the night? Moreover, we didn’t see you enter when we were on patrol."
Long Rui said coldly: "That’s because you’re incompetent; others have co in and you didn’t even notice, yet you still have the face to loudly shout here? Truly disgraceful to my reputation."
Long Yi imdiately slumped.
Seeing this, Xuexue recounted the process of the weirdo sending the steward over, only then did Long Yi understand what had happened.
Long Rui: "Long Yi, take the steward and arrange for him, don’t let the Fourth Prince’s n find him."
Long Yi agreed: "Yes."
Long Rui: "Tonight’s matter must remain confidential, there are many eyes and ears in the mansion, be extra careful."
Long Yi: "Yes."
Long Rui, watching the yawning Xuexue, said: "Withdraw, all of you, it’s the third watch of the night, I’m tired."
Long Yi hurriedly got people to carry the steward away.
The next day.
Lin Kong indeed went to Purple Peak Mountain to find the weirdo, but surprisingly, searched several mountains without seeing him, even the cave he once lived in was empty.
After searching all day and finding nothing, as the sun was about to set, he returned to the Capital.
The Fourth Prince was obsessed with killing the steward and the weirdo to silence them, wasn’t in the mood to do anything else, waiting for news in the mansion all day.
The Fourth Prince was happy knowing Lin Kong had returned and quickly greeted him: "Master, are those two taken care of?"
Lin Kong glanced at the expectant face of the Fourth Prince and said indifferently: "No."
Fourth Prince: "Master, what do you an? Did you not go looking for them today?"
Lin Kong: "Yes, I went looking, but didn’t find them."
Fourth Prince: "How is that possible? Don’t you know the weirdo’s dwelling?"
"What’s the use of knowing? The place is deserted, what can I do?" Speaking of this, Lin Kong was sowhat unhappy, having wandered around in the deep mountains and ancient forests all day looking for the weirdo and the steward, both tired and hungry, without a single word of greeting from the Fourth Prince, and upon eting, treated him as if interrogating a criminal, does he truly regard him as a master or a servant?
The Fourth Prince’s excitent disappeared upon hearing, his whole face drooping, ignoring Lin Kong, he walked into the mansion alone.
Lin Kong stood behind him, his face darkening.
"Master, Master."
Just then, a shout ca from outside the gate.
Both Lin Kong and the Fourth Prince turned their heads to see Celestial Master Zhang had arrived.
"Master, I’ve been looking for you desperately." Celestial Master Zhang got out of the sedan chair and ran over, out of breath.
He only heard the news yesterday, saying Lin Kong was at the fourth prince’s mansion, Celestial Master Zhang hurried over, the matter of the Thousand Year Striped Tiger still needed Master’s help, thus he ca specifically to invite the Master back to the Celestial Master’s Mansion.
Lin Kong was still angry at Celestial Master Zhang, who during the previous days, despite him staying at an inn for so long, hadn’t ant to bring him back to Celestial Master’s Mansion to stay.
