After dinner, Bai Jiyue had just returned to his room to rest for a while when someone knocked on the door.

She opened the door and saw the soldiers on guard.

"The eunuchs who clean the temple, come out!" the soldier ordered.

Bai Jiyue smiled and asked the soldier: "Do you know what you want us to do?"

"Just go if I tell you to, and don't say anything more." The soldier replied coldly.

Bai Jiyue came out in response, closed the door, turned around, and saw Eunuch Wang and the other two eunuchs who were sweeping the front yard of the temple also came out.

Led by the soldiers, the four people walked towards the Cliff of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Bai Jiyue had a feeling that something was wrong, so he approached the soldier and asked, "Are you here to see General Wang?"

"No, see the mute slave."

Bai Jiyue stopped talking. Why did the mute slave call the four of them out?

The things he lost are inhumane, and even if you ask them about the situation, you won’t get anything out of them.

She felt a little off...

Gently pulling Wang Nei Shi's sleeve, she whispered in his ear: "I don't feel right. Could it be that the Emperor has lost something and wants us to be scapegoats?"

Wang the eunuch's face turned pale: "No no no... no... right?"

"You must always be fully prepared so that you don't die in vain." Bai Jiyue said softly.

"How, how do we prepare?" asked Eunuch Wang.

Bai Jiyue thought for a moment and said, "If he makes a move later, we will unite to resist and kill him, and then say that he wanted to kill us and frame us!"

"What if they outnumber us and we can't defeat them?"

"There won't be many people, there should be only the mute slave. The few of us are more than enough to deal with him. Go talk to those two people and tell them that if anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility!"

If the soldiers want to take action, they need General Wang's consent. She is sure that the mute slave will not tell General Wang about this.

The mute slave wanted to kill them, not to let them take the blame, but to silence them.

He didn't know how much these eunuchs who cleaned the temple knew, and he was afraid that they might know something, so he simply killed them all to prevent future trouble!

Eunuch Wang approached the two men and whispered something. The two men first showed a look of surprise and doubt, and then nodded.

Bai Jiyue felt a little relieved. If she didn't say it, and the fight started, those people wouldn't help her, and she would be in a passive position.

After walking for a while, they, led by the soldiers, entered the forest next to the Cliff of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The four people looked at each other and became more and more certain that the person who came was not a good person. Otherwise, even if he wanted to ask something, he would not have to come to such a remote place.

The soldier brought them to the mute slave and turned away. The mute slave looked at them with a sullen face and gestured to ask them if they had been to the temple last night.

Eunuch Wang, who understood sign language, translated for everyone, and the four of them shook their heads in unison.

A cold light flashed in the mute slave's eyes, and he suddenly made a move, shooting a handful of silver needles at the four of them like flowers scattering from the sky.

Bai Jiyue had been secretly on guard, and when he saw the mute slave raise his hand, he shouted loudly: "Disperse!"

The other three were also on guard, and they immediately dispersed in four directions. The mute slave's silver needle didn't hit anyone.

After Bai Jiyue dodged, he reacted extremely quickly and attacked the mute slave with the deadly sword in his hand.

The mute slave had great cultivation and dodged Bai Jiyue's sword, but he could not withstand the attack from both sides and was hit from behind by Wang Nei Shi.

As the mute slave staggered, the other two eunuchs came over and slapped him again.

Although their cultivation levels were not as high as those of Ya Nu and Bai Jiyue, they still had some impact on Ya Nu.

Bai Jiyue took advantage of the moment when the mute slave was unable to recover from the attack, turned the deadly sword, and stabbed it into the mute slave's heart.

It was fast, fierce and accurate. The sword went in and then twisted it. The mute slave didn't even have time to scream before he fell to the ground and died!

After the mute slave really fell to the ground and died, the two eunuchs became frightened and asked tremblingly: "He was the emperor's servant. If we kill him like this, what should we do if the emperor investigates?"

"Since we've killed him, of course we have to destroy the body. He disappeared, what does it have to do with us?" Bai Jiyue said coldly.

A man like the mute slave followed his master to kill so many women and did so many cruel things. He deserves no pity to die.

Wang the eunuch nodded and said, "Yes, he has already been killed. There is no point in being afraid. We just need to deal with the aftermath properly."

"It was General Wang's soldiers who led us to see the mute slave. If the mute slave disappeared, General Wang would definitely investigate us." One of them said.

"As long as we can convince General Wang to help us cover up this matter, everything will be fine." Bai Jiyue murmured.

"Will General Wang help us?" Everyone was confused.

"We have to try. I'll go and talk to them. You just go back first. I'll go back later. This way, if General Wang investigates the matter, I will say that it was me alone and it had nothing to do with you. You left first." Bai Jiyue took all the responsibility on himself.

The other three looked at each other in silence for a moment.

Bai Jiyue raised his voice: "You guys go!"

The three of them seemed to wake up from a dream, bowed to Bai Jiyue, and then hurried out of the forest.

After they left for a while, Bai Jiyue left, but he did not go back to his residence directly, but went to General Wang's residence.

The guard soldier reported in, and General Wang saw her immediately.

Bai Jiyue told the story of how he attacked the mute slave.

General Wang asked in surprise, "Why did the mute slave want to kill you?"

"Because I discovered his secret. It turned out that he had a secret room in the backyard of the temple. He locked up several women in it and raped them every few days. I quietly released those women. Although he didn't know it was me, he suspected that it was related to us eunuchs who were cleaning the temple. So he asked the soldiers to take the four of us there and wanted to kill us all together to silence us."

Bai Jiyue told this story half-truthfully, which made it somewhat believable.

"More importantly, General Bai's death may also be related to him." Bai Jiyue added.

General Wang looked solemn and remained silent for a long while before he said, "You could have just left, but you came to tell me. Do you want me to help you?"

"General, I trust you, so I told you everything. It depends on what you choose. If you choose to hand me over, I will accept it. I will remember the favor you did for me before, but I have no way to repay you."

General Wang smiled bitterly: "I was the one who got you in. If I expose you again, do you think I don't have enough to do?"

Bai Jiyue smiled slightly. She knew that General Wang was a sensible man and would never do something that would only shoot himself in the foot.

"Okay, I got it. I will tell the soldier about the mute slave asking you to take you to the meeting. The mute slave is just a servant. Just disappear. When the emperor asks about it one day, just say that he went out to look for thieves and never came back."

Bai Jiyue saluted him: "Thank you for your help, General."

General Wang waved his hand: "I'll send you out soon if I can't make you sick."
