Female Master: The Cold Prince

This person was too brutal and cruel. Anyone who confronted her would have her head chopped off in an instant.

Xiahou Jiuyue raised her hand and threw the corpse to the side. The moment the corpse hit the ground, there was a heavy muffled sound, and a token fell to the ground.

Seeing this, she walked forward and picked up the token. It was made of an extremely special material and had a small word engraved on it.

Her eyes suddenly darkened, and she quickly put away the token and ordered a retreat.

They could have taken advantage of this opportunity to wipe out Jueshatang, but unexpectedly, at the critical moment, their plan was foiled by a killer who suddenly appeared. Not only did they fail to occupy Jueshatang, but they also lost a lot of people.

Jiang Huaiying looked at the huge group of people who came here, and now less than half of them were left, and his face looked very heavy.

She looked at the people around her, sighed and said, "Governor, what should we do now? Now that the truth has been revealed, it will be even more difficult to eradicate them next time. After this raid, Juesha Hall will definitely be more cautious."

"Let's talk about this matter first when we get back. Ask Li Luolan to find out what's going on with those killers." Xiahou Jiuyue said with no expression showing any emotion.

This group of killers suddenly appeared, as if they were well prepared. Is this a backup plan kept by Jueshatang, or is it the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?

After returning to the mansion, Xiahou Jiuyue took out the map drawn by Ye Lin and carefully studied the places where the killer suddenly appeared. She found that these locations were very hidden and not easily detected.

"Yeshi." She shouted into the darkness.

"master."

Ye Shi suddenly appeared in black clothes. She had some minor injuries on her body. She must have been injured by the killer who suddenly appeared because she was not paying attention.

Xiahou Jiuyue looked at her bloodstained clothes and asked with concern, "How is your injury?"

"Thank you for your concern, it's nothing serious."

"Well, contact Ye Lin and ask her to check on those assassins to see what's going on."

"Yes." Ye Shi said.

"Take this token and investigate which store sells this material." As she said this, she handed the token she had obtained to her. Perhaps this could also be a breakthrough.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

When she was about to leave, Xiahou Jiuyue suddenly said, "Leave these things to the people below. Take care of your injuries first."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Ye Shi said.

On the other side, the person who was practicing calligraphy frantically in the house suddenly heard Ye Shi and others coming back covered in injuries. Yu Suyuan's face changed drastically. He threw away his pen and ran to the front yard.

"Ayue!" His voice was nervous and full of worry.

When Xiahou Jiuyue heard the noise, she opened the door and walked out of the house. Yu Suyuan walked up to her quickly and looked her up and down. Only when he confirmed that she was not injured did he finally feel relieved.

"It's okay, don't worry." Xiahou Jiuyue smiled at him and comforted him. She felt warm in her heart. It felt good to have someone care about her.

"I was scared to death. I heard that Ye Shi and the others were injured, so I wondered if you were injured too." Yu Suyuan said with some fear.

Especially when he saw the blood on Ye Shi's body, he became even more panicked, fearing that she would also be covered in blood like Ye Shi.

"Don't worry, Ye Shi and the others only suffered some minor injuries. They will be fine after two days of rest." Xiahou Jiuyue said softly.

"That's good. A Yue, did anything happen to you?" Yu Suyuan asked with a worried look on his face.

He knew they had left the house before dawn this morning, but he didn't know what they were going to do.

He knew that he couldn't help with the affairs at home, so he stopped asking. Even if he asked, A Yue wouldn't tell him. What she did was simply because she didn't want him to worry.

"Well, they're just some small things, no need to worry." Xiahou Jiuyue said habitually.

"Okay." He said with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xiahou Jiuyue changed the subject and said, "A Yuan, how far have you practiced calligraphy today? Can I see?"

Hearing this, Yu Suyuan's attention was diverted. His eyes were no longer filled with disappointment, but instead had a hint of shyness in them.

His handwriting was not very beautiful. No matter how much he practiced every day, he could not achieve a result that satisfied him.

As she spoke, Xiahou Jiuyue accompanied him to the backyard to see the calligraphy the man was practicing.

Life returned to normal. Apart from handling some affairs, Xiahou Jiuyue would accompany Yu Suyuan in the backyard to read books and practice calligraphy. It was a beautiful scene of peaceful and tranquil life.

That day, Ye Shi finally received a reply from Ye Lin, and she immediately rushed back to the mansion without stopping.

"Master, Ye Lin found out through investigation that the group of killers were the backup plan left by the new hall master to prepare for any emergency in the hall. And no one knows about the existence of this group of killers except a few senior elders." She repeated Ye Lin's words verbatim.

In this case, it is normal for Li Luolan and Ye Lin not to know, after all, they are just low-level staff members of Jueshatang.

"Are those killers hiding in a secret room underground?" asked Xiahou Jiuyue.

"That's right, master. I feel that there is something very strange." Ye Shi said puzzledly.

"What's the matter?"

"I heard from Ye Lin that when the hall master Jiang Huanyu found out that the hall was raided, there was no anger on his face, as if he had known that he would be attacked."

Xiahou Jiuyue frowned slightly upon hearing this, and then asked, "Have you found the source of the material of the token?"

"We have found it. It is being sold at a shop in the city. The owner of the shop said that the person who bought it was a merchant, a middle-aged woman, and her accent did not sound like a local."

"My lord, I have only traced these so far, and the rest are still being investigated." Ye Shi said.

"Ah."

At this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared.

"My subordinate greets my master." This person was Ye Lin.

Seeing the person who suddenly appeared, Xiahou Jiuyue's eyes flashed with surprise. Not only her, but even Ye Shi next to her was surprised.

Didn't she just break up with Ye Lin? Why did she come to the mansion?

"But what happened?" Xiahou Jiuyue asked seriously. He came back suddenly. Did he discover something?

"My lord, I just forgot to give the redrawn map to Ye Shi, so I hurried here." Ye Lin said with an unnatural expression, and then took out a brand new leather scroll from his arms and handed it over.

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue raised her eyebrows slightly and took the leather scroll from her hand. Seeing this, Ye Shi next to her immediately felt relieved, as she thought something big had happened.

"Master, this map shows the hiding places of these killers. It is divided into two places, both in underground secret rooms." Ye Lin said.

Xiahou Jiuyue looked at it carefully, put it away, and said to her: "Ye Lin, you have made a great contribution this time. Thank you for your hard work."

This map is even more detailed and accurate than the previous one, which shows the artist's intentions.

"These are what my subordinates should do." Ye Lin said respectfully.

At this time, Ye Yi, who was guarding outside the door, came in and reported, "Master, the prefect is here."
