Female Master: The Cold Prince

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue quickly put the leather scroll on her body. When Ye Lin was about to leave, Jiang Huaiying's figure had already arrived outside the door.

Seeing this, Ye Lin had to step aside. When Jiang Huaiying came, there was someone following him.

When Xiahou Jiuyue saw Li Luolan, her heart sank instantly. Why did Jiang Huaying bring her here at this time?

Suddenly, everyone in the room was stunned. The atmosphere became a little weird. Ye Lin and Li Luolan's eyes met and they were both shocked.

"Ye Lin!" Li Luolan said with shock in her eyes.

Isn't Ye Lin a member of their Juesha Hall? Why is she here?

Jiang Huaiying heard Li Luolan's exclamation and looked at Ye Lin. Ye Lin was extremely upset at this moment.

For a killer, once his identity is exposed, he will be close to death.

"Governor, what is this?" Jiang Huaiying looked at Xiahou Jiuyue with confusion and asked. Could this person also be a spy from Jueshatang?

Seeing that Ye Lin's identity was exposed, Xiahou Jiuyue had no choice but to reveal Ye Lin's identity in order to dispel the suspicions of the two people, and said: "Ye Lin, a spy from the Juesha Hall, I believe you two have met in the Juesha Hall!"

She said this while looking at Li Luolan. After hearing this, Jiang Huaiying said, "I see."

Li Luolan looked at Ye Lin with a twinkling gaze. She suddenly smiled and said, "Ye Lin, you are a very capable person!"

She had met this person several times in the hall before. She was taciturn and serious. She remembered her because of her outstanding martial arts skills, decisiveness in carrying out tasks, and no mercy.

"No, it's Elder Li who is truly unexpected." Ye Lin said without a trace of warmth in his voice, and directly revealed the other party's identity.

She didn't expect to meet Li Luolan here, let alone that she would be a secret agent.

Elder? Xiahou Jiuyue glanced at Li Luolan and saw that she looked calm, without any panic after her identity was revealed.

When Li Luolan heard her reveal her identity, her face instantly stiffened. The two stopped talking and looked at each other carefully.

"Your Excellency Governor, I came here today to report something." Jiang Huaiying said, breaking the silent atmosphere in the room.

"What's the matter?" Xiahou Jiuyue looked at the two of them and asked.

Jiang Huaiying did not reply, but glanced at the person beside him. Li Luolan received the signal and stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, I came here to report that I have found out the situation of the last batch of assassins, and those assassins were the backup plan left by the Juesha Hall."

"Although I am an elder of the Absolute Killing Hall, I have only been in the hall for a short time and lack the qualifications to know about the existence of this group of killers."

Her words were exactly the same as what Ye Lin had found out. Jiang Huaiying looked worried after hearing them. He said, "I didn't expect Jiang Huanyu to be so cautious. If we fail to encircle and suppress her this time, she will definitely retaliate against us in the future. What should we do?"

Seeing her gloomy look, Xiahou Jiuyue couldn't help but frowned slightly and said, "Don't worry, she doesn't know who surrounded her. Besides, after this siege, Juesha Hall will definitely stay quiet for a few days and won't act rashly."

If she didn't want to find out the mastermind behind this, she would have wiped out Jueshatang in less than a morning.

"Then, Governor, how should we deal with it next?" Jiang Huaiying asked after calming down.

Xiahou Jiuyue raised her eyes to look at the silent Li Luolan and asked, "Do you know what kind of goods Jueshatang is importing this time?"

"Private salt." She said very briefly.

Private salt? Xiahou Jiuyue was slightly surprised. Selling private salt was a serious crime in the dynasty. Who had the ability to provide so many goods to Jueshatang?

"As the elder of the Juesha Hall, can you find out the source of this batch of goods?"

"I didn't go with them this time, so it will take some time to track them down." Li Luolan frowned.

"No rush, go check first, and report back if you find anything."

After receiving the task, Li Luolan didn't want to wait even a moment, so she said, "Yes, I'll take my leave first."

After she left, Xiahou Jiuyue said again: "Master Jiang, you should go back first! If anything happens, I will let someone notify you."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Jiang Huaiying said simply.

She knew that she couldn't be of much help if she stayed here, so she just waited for notification. Before leaving, she glanced deeply at Ye Lin, who had not interrupted her.

The room instantly returned to its previous state. Xiahou Jiuyue looked outside the room with an unclear expression in her eyes and said, "Ye Lin, be careful when you return to Jue Sha Tang this time. You need to be wary of Li Luolan."

She didn't trust this person, especially since Ye Lin's identity had been discovered and his life could be in danger at any time. In this situation, he needed to be on guard against anyone.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, my lord." Ye Lin was deeply moved.

"By the way, you were accompanying the group to purchase smuggled salt this time. Did you meet Jiang Huanyu in person?" Xiahou Jiuyue suddenly remembered this person and asked.

She never found out who this person was, or whether he was from the capital.

"No, Jiang Huanyu did not go with us that day."

"What!" Xiahou Jiuyue was shocked when she heard this. Jiang Huanyu didn't go, so where did she go? Or was she already in Juesha Hall that day?

Impossible. She had searched the hall thoroughly that day and didn't see any suspicious people. Or, was she hiding in the basement with the killers that day?

If that's the case, it makes sense that she wasn't discovered at the time.

“Have you ever seen her?” she asked again, remembering that Ye Lin had said before that the only people who had seen Jiang Huanyu were a few elders in the hall.

So, has Li Luolan met Jiang Huanyu?

Also, how did she manage to become the elder in such a short time?

"I have never seen him. I also heard that Jiang Huanyu has not been in the hall recently. I find it a bit strange." Ye Lin said in confusion.

It stands to reason that a person who controls such a huge force must be in the hall all the time. So why is Jiang Huanyu often not in the hall?

Xiahou Jiuyue was also puzzled by this, and then said: "Find some time to sneak into Jiang Huanyu's room and see if you can find some items that can prove her identity."

"Yes."

Thinking of her current dangerous situation, Xiahou Jiuyue couldn't help but remind her: "Go back first! Remember, be careful."

"Yes, I am resigning."

After finishing all the work, Xiahou Jiuyue pinched her brows tiredly and looked out the window. It was already past noon.

The sky outside was gloomy and as depressing as her mood. She stood up, picked up a cloak and put it on, then went out.

Ye Yi drove the carriage all the way out of the city. At this time, in a village outside the city, he saw a white figure busy shuttling among the patients.

She was wearing a thin white robe, and regardless of the cold, she patiently took the pulse and prescribed medicine for every citizen.
