Chapter 188 The flood washed the Dragon King Temple
In the mid-autumn season, Zuixianju's business is already on track.
The peony in Hongmeng Tian was growing better and better. On this day, Ye Lingyue had nothing to do and was teasing little Wuya to practice her transformation skills.
Ever since she discovered that Xiaowuya was a phantom phoenix that was rare to see in a thousand years, Ye Lingyue had been training it non-stop.
The more times it happens, the more the little Wuya transforms, the better it gets. It can turn into dead objects, such as a teacup or a chair.
It can also turn into living creatures, such as Xiao Zhiyo, or turn into rhubarb, and it can learn how to do so perfectly. Unfortunately, it cannot turn into a human yet.
It is estimated that it will have to wait until it grows older before it can transform into a human form.
As soon as Xiaowuya turned into a teacup, Yan Che walked in and placed a letter in front of Ye Lingyue.
"Sect Master, yesterday, someone from the Anguo Hou Mansion sent a letter of entrustment to the Gui Sect, wanting to investigate your identity."
Ye Lingyue gave most of the money to Yan Che and entrusted him to build the ghost gate.
Yan Che did indeed do a good job. In just a few months, he secretly annexed many small gangs in Xiadu and quickly established a new sect called "Ghost Sect".
Yan Che was still in the city and adopted a large number of orphans. Among these orphans, those with talent for cultivation were all selected and trained to become assassins of the Ghost Sect.
Some good-looking people were sent to various mansions in Xia Capital to inquire about various information.
In just a few months, the minions of the Ghost Sect had already been placed in every corner of the Xia Capital.
The Ghost Sect also became famous, but people outside never knew who the master of the Ghost Sect was.
Every time Yan Che takes on a mission, he always disguises himself. Outsiders have no idea that he is from the Lan Mansion.
The entire Ghost Sect gives the impression to the outside world that it is mysterious and unpredictable, and specializes in handling various investigation and assassination tasks.
In the past few months, Guimen has completed dozens of missions one after another, and has also gained its own name in Xiadu.
Investigate her life experience
Ye Lingyue raised her eyebrows and glanced at the letter of entrustment. The letter of entrustment was unsigned, but the people in An Guohou's mansion who were targeting her were the Cui family and her daughter.
That old witch Cui is still determined to give up.
When Ye Lingyue became the second young lady of the Lan Mansion, she had already expected that after arriving in the Xia Capital, someone would definitely investigate her identity.
On Licheng's side, she had already made arrangements so that no one in Ye Mansion would reveal her true identity.
Even if Ms. Cui investigates to the end, she won't be able to get any useful clues.
"Hand over the forged information. The Dragon King Temple was really flooded. How dare you go to the ghost gate to investigate my information." Ye Lingyue twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Master, do you want someone to kill Mr. Cui?" After Yan Che took over the ghost sect, he personally performed several tasks. He was no longer the naive Central Plains slave on the street. Today, Yan Che has a smile on his face.
There is already anger.
In Yan Che's view, anyone who dares to offend the sect master will only receive death.
"She's just a clown. It's not time to deal with her yet. I asked you to investigate the matter of the prince and Hong Yulang, so you can get some clues." Ye Lingyue knocked on the small tea cup on the table.
With a bang, Xiaowuya changed back to his original form.
Ye Lingyue calculated that Xiao Wuya's transformation could last for about a quarter of an hour, which was a big improvement compared to the previous time when it could only last for a few breaths.
When he saw Xiao Wuya appear, Yan Che's lips trembled, but he was smart enough not to ask any more questions.
Yan Che knew that her sect leader was a miraculous person, and the few little beasts following her were also unusual.
Earlier, he saw the owner's little fox puppy in the garden, eating melon seeds and taking turns enjoying the arms of several maids.
"The prince and Hong Yulang seem to have nothing in common. They both like martial arts and are normal friends. However, something happened yesterday. Hong Yulang's carriage was injured on the way back to Hongfu from Hongwu Palace.
He was frightened and trampled on a passing woman, seriously injuring her." Yan Che ordered someone to keep an eye on the prince and Hong Yulang.
There was nothing going on with the prince, but something happened to Hong Yulang.
However, not long after this incident occurred, the housekeeper of the Hong Mansion came forward to calm the matter down and did not report it to the government.
Yan Che just mentioned it casually, because he knew that in Xia Capital, similar incidents of nobles bullying civilians happened every day.
Unexpectedly, Ye Lingyue became more cautious after hearing this.
"Inquiring about the residence of the injured woman, I think this matter is a bit fishy." Ye Lingyue remembered clearly that yesterday, Hong Yulang did not come to attend the morning class at Hongwu Hall. If this was the case, why did he pretend to be at Hongwu Hall?
Or rather, he went somewhere else along the way.
Ye Lingyue originally thought that by using the ghost gate to report wrong information to Cui, she would be able to hide it from the truth.
But Ye Lingyue didn't expect that at the same time that Cui launched the investigation, someone else began to doubt Ye Lingyue's identity.
That person was Hong Fang from Hong Mansion. When Hong Fang first met Ye Lingyue, he thought she looked familiar.
As a person who has been in the officialdom and the Hong Mansion for many years, Hong Fang intuitively felt that Ye Lingyue was very hostile to him.
Just when Hong Fang was still doubting Ye Lingyue's identity, the prince was assassinated.
Only a handful of people, including Hong Fang, knew that the person the female assassin wanted to assassinate that day was not the prince, but Hong Fang.
The female assassin who looked so similar to Ye Lingyue made Hong Fang a little uneasy. He couldn't help but think of the mother and daughter Ye Huangyu who had been abandoned by him.
Hong Fang had feelings for Ye Huangyu before. It was the love between a man and a woman when they were young, but this fragile feeling was vulnerable in the face of interests.
Especially, Ye Huangyu knelt down outside his wedding room without knowing him, letting the whole Hong family see his joke.
From the moment the baby girl Ye Huangyu gave birth to was beaten into a fool, Hong Fang assumed that the mother and daughter were dead.
"Ye Huangyu, you'd better be married to someone else. If I investigate and find out that it's you who assassinated me, I will definitely kill you and the Ye family." Hong Fang is more clever than Cui.
Some.
The secret letter of his investigation was sent to the most famous intelligence organization in Daxia, Shashengtang.
The strength of this Sesshōdo is even greater than that of the newly established Ghost Sect.
Especially the leader of the Killing Hall, who knew Ye Lingyue's true identity without any effort.
Because the leader of the Killing Hall is none other than the old mayor Liu of Qiu Feng Town.
Mayor Liu hesitated for a moment and wrote a letter.
One day later, a letter arrived in the hands of Mayor Liu.
When I opened the letter, I saw only one line written on it.
"Take care of it."
A few days later, several strange things happened in Qiu Feng Town and Licheng City. Some people died inexplicably, and some people lost their memory inexplicably.
Except for the people from Ye Mansion and Lan Mansion, no one in the world knows Ye Lingyue's true identity.
