Chapter 224: Chapter 224

After confirming Yun Ran’s identity, Yu Feiyin looked at her not only with respect but also admiration.

"Pavilion Master, when did you arrive in Tianchu? Is there anything you wish to instruct me to do today?"

Yun Ran suddenly turned around to look at a certain spot on the third floor.

The window was half open, the curtains lightly hung, and the white gauze fluttering in the wind resembled waves of snow.

Yet, there was no one there.

Yun Ran frowned slightly, strange, she distinctly felt a gaze just now...

"Pavilion Master, what’s wrong? Is there any problem?"

Yun Ran retracted her gaze and shook her head, "Though, there is indeed something I need you to do."

"Please instruct me, Pavilion Master!"

Yun Ran glanced at the bustling hall, her gaze once again discreetly swept over the third floor, "Let’s talk elsewhere."

Yu Feiyin observed everything and respectfully invited Yun Ran to the top floor, secretly instructing her subordinates to investigate the personnel movement in the elegant room on the third floor that Yun Ran had glanced at, along with its surrounding rooms.

Yun Ran tasked Yu Feiyin with investigating the truth behind the assassination attempt at West Mountain last time and the identity background of that group from Nanyue.

Upon hearing this, Yu Feiyin’s expression suddenly changed, her eyes flashing with a chill of murderous intent, "Pavilion Master, you were assassinated?!"

Someone dared to be so rampant! To assassinate the dignified Pavilion Master of Tianyin Pavilion!!!

Looking at Yu Feiyin’s reaction, Yun Ran silently sighed to herself:

[The fallen tiger... Now not only suppressed by the birds, bullied by that dog Nangong Mo, but also targeted by all sorts of petty scoundrels and ghosts. This is... once struck by lightning, living worse than a dog!]

"Pavilion Master, were you hurt? I will send an eagle message to inform the old Pavilion Master right away."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ran quickly stopped her, "No, I was only slightly injured, and it’s already fine. There’s no need to tell the master."

Why couldn’t they tell the old Pavilion Master?

Yu Feiyin thought it over and realized, given the old Pavilion Master’s skill in protecting his offspring, if he knew, he would eradicate all the assassins!

Digging up three generations from the soil, making sure the next three generations never emerge; all the chickens, ducks, and geese at home would be killed and taken away; any sweet potatoes, radishes, and cabbages planted would be wiped out completely!

But, what’s wrong with that?

Why couldn’t they let the old Pavilion Master know?

Yun Ran glanced at Yu Feiyin, who was frowning, and explained seriously, "The master is currently in seclusion for training and shouldn’t be disturbed for the moment, so..."

Yu Feiyin instantly understood, "Don’t worry, Pavilion Master, I will definitely find out the identities of those scoundrels and lead people to eliminate them to avenge you!"

Yu Feiyin spoke with a fierce naturalness that didn’t quite match her alluring and charming appearance.

But Yun Ran had seen her chopping people, like cutting cabbages, one stab and a head would be gone.

Yun Ran coughed lightly, "Um, there’s one more thing..."

"Please say, Pavilion Master! Once I have investigated, I will lead people to eliminate them altogether!"

Yun Ran silently raised her hand to wipe off the nonexistent cold sweat on her forehead, this Lady Yu, a charming and mature beauty, chopping a swath, eliminating a nest, this this this...

"This time, what I want you to investigate is not the assassins, but the old affairs of the Bai Family back then."

Yu Feiyin was taken aback, "The Bai Family?"

"Are you referring to the Bai Family, who was the leading family in Capital City back then and the richest in Tianchu?"

Yun Ran nodded, "Have people carefully investigate what really happened to the Bai Family back then, and whether there are any descendants of the Bai Family still alive in the world."

"Additionally, instruct them to carefully investigate the true cause of death of Minister Lin’s former wife, Mrs. Bai."

Yu Feiyin agreed without hesitation, though she did have some doubts in her mind.

Why was the Pavilion Master so interested in the Bai Family’s affairs?!

Back then, the Bai Family was very successful in business and had some dealings with their Tianyin Pavilion, but it couldn’t be said that they were closely associated.

Moreover, the Bai Family had been in decline for over a decade, back when the Pavilion Master was still a toddler!

Doubts aside, she took care of the task without any ambiguity. Yu Feiyin immediately assigned the mission to her most trusted confidante.

Yun Ran had originally wanted her to investigate the affairs of Consort Lan back then, but after some hesitation, she dismissed the idea.

"Also, investigate King Qin Nangong Mo for me, his life experiences, everything without exception."

Yu Feiyin was a bit surprised, not expecting this, "King Qin? Everything without exception?" Fresh chapters posted on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

Yun Ran frowned and ticked off her fingers, "Yes, his experiences as a child, his exploits on the battlefield, and..."

"His romantic escapades, whether he has any romantic debts, whether he has ever liked any woman. Investigate all of it."

Yu Feiyin’s face was filled with curiosity; her gaze at Yun Ran carried a somewhat ambiguous meaning.

Could it be... Hong Luan Star is moving?!

Yun Ran lifted her head and saw Yu Feiyin’s expression, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, she coughed and said solemnly, "Don’t guess blindly! It’s because of Sixth Brother being troublesome."

"Sixth Young Master?"

Yu Feiyin was perplexed and even more puzzled, how does this relate to Sixth Young Master?

"You don’t know, I’ve recently heard many rumors saying Sixth Brother and King Qin have an unusual ambiguous relationship, I’m afraid he’s gone astray."

"What?! You mean Sixth Young Master he, he..."

Yu Feiyin didn’t dare say the word ’cut sleeve.’

But the look on her face was already causing waves.

Yun Ran kept a straight face and a steady heart, "Yes, so it is crucial to thoroughly investigate Nangong Mo. I absolutely cannot let Liuzi be led astray!"

Yu Feiyin nodded heavily, her expression showed determination like cutting off a wrist, "Yes! Rest assured Pavilion Master, I will personally oversee this matter! I will not let down your trust!"

Yun Ran added a few more words, drank a cup of tea, and then left.

Before leaving, Yu Feiyin asked about her residence in Capital City, planning to invite her to live at the Music House.

But Yun Ran refused, saying she had some matters outside to handle.

Yu Feiyin also wanted to send some people to protect and take care of her daily life, which Yun Ran declined as well.

Although Yu Feiyin was somewhat uneasy, as a subordinate, she didn’t want to intervene excessively. Seeing her wanting to speak but holding back, Yun Ran reassured her, saying she was staying in the Capital City and would contact the Music House at the first sign of trouble.

After leaving Jiuzhou Music House, Yun Ran walked a bit and discovered someone was following her.

At first, Yun Ran subconsciously thought it was Nangong Mo, but she later realized it wasn’t.

She deliberately slowed her pace, listening intently, rough judging the person’s skills by their footsteps and breathing.

Yun Ran curled her lips contemptuously, a few jumping clowns dared to come out and prance, just right for her to exercise her muscles after a long break.

Yun Ran quickened her pace, heading to places with fewer people, weaving into secluded alleys.

This filled the few people following her with joy.

Such an ignorant foolish woman! She refuses the path to heaven, insisting on running into hell!
