"Thank you, Third Miss. Thank you, Third Miss!" Jinkui knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head, which turned red.

"Okay, okay, her head is bruised," she helped Jinkui up, then turned to Xiaohai and said, "Take her through the back door and put her in the carriage."

"Yes, Miss."

"Is there anything else you want to take?"

Jinkui shook her head and said, "I don't want any of it. I thank Third Miss."

"Okay, stop crying and let's go."

Baili Yao went through the main gate. She couldn't bring Jinkui with her, as she didn't want people to think that she was going against the prince.

"Took him away?" Xuanyuan Minglang rode on his horse, and Mu Bei behind him also rode over on horseback.

"Yes, Master. It was indeed bought by the Third Miss."

Xuanyuan Minglang smiled and said, "Yeah." He just nodded.

"Miss Third is quite kind." Mu Bei couldn't help but boast.

Xuanyuan Minglang touched the jade pendant in his clothes and said, "Yes, she is very good."

They took the main road back and the scenery along the way was nice. Jinkui was placed in the carriage and had some medicine applied on her forehead.

"Miss, I really don't know how to repay you. From now on, I will serve you like a slave."

"Okay," Baili Yao quickly stopped her, she had been talking about this all the way.

Baili Yao was still thinking about the pearl in her heart. She also asked Xiaohai, but Xiaohai knew nothing about it. She had been living in the yard and had no clue at all.

How can I go back? Baili Yao sighed countless times in her heart.

Jinkui was a very sensible girl. She didn't dare to ride in the carriage with her master, so she got off and walked with Xiaohai.

They walked slowly and found an inn to stay in when it got dark.

"Third Miss?" Baili Yao raised her head and saw Mu Bei standing on the stairs, looking at her with a smile.

Baili Yao was crying out in her heart, this guy is the follower of the masked prince...

"What a coincidence, I can meet Miss Three while staying at the hotel."

Baili Yao smiled generously, "Hello, little brother, the prince lives here too?"

Mu Bei shook his head. "No, the prince is used to traveling around. He didn't let me follow him this time. I saw the young lady coming here to look for someone to take care of her, and I have something else to do."

"Oh, then don't chat with me any more, go get busy."

Mu Bei bowed and took two steps. "Miss Third is surrounded by ordinary maids and servants, and none of them know martial arts."

"How can you say that..."

Mu Bei was stunned for a moment, then walked in again, as if to kindly remind him, "I often go out, but I heard some things outside. The young lady has obtained a precious pearl. It is said that if a living person wears it, it can slow down aging and make the dead body look like a living person."

Orb...

"My mother?" Baili Yao suddenly frowned, so her mother should not have died in the war.

Mu Bei seemed to have said something he shouldn't have, and quickly covered his mouth. "That's all I know. I just heard some gossip. It turns out that the young lady didn't take it. I was too nosy."

"I've never seen anything like that..." She said it almost without thinking, and Mu Bei didn't think she was lying.

Where does she have any orb! It should be the one she traveled through time to study! She doesn't have it, she is looking for it herself... But! Isn't this a clue?

Baili Yao even sometimes wondered if this Mu Bei was some kind of NPC, who could get information by triggering it.

After Mu Bei left, Baili Yao sat in the room and thought carefully. Everyone said that she died in the war, but now she thought that there might be a hidden story. Didn't her yard often searched by servants? So they thought that the pearl was given to her?

This is not good. Wouldn't she be a fat piece of meat in everyone's eyes?

A chill spread from Baili Yao's feet. She had to come up with new plans. Suddenly, a bold idea came into her mind.

She needed a new identity, one that freed her from being the third young lady of the Baili family.

"Little sea."

"It's Miss."

Baili Yao called Xiaohai and Jinkui over.

"Xiao Hai, you and Jin Kui should not return to Baili Mansion yet."

"Why is this, miss?" Xiao Hai asked puzzledly.

"No one has seen Jinkui yet, so find a place to stay first. Xiaohai, I have something for you to do. It may be a little dangerous. Are you willing?"

When Xiao Hai heard this, his face became very serious, "I am willing to go through fire and water for you, young lady."

Baili Yao supported him and said, "I remember there have been frequent wars in the south over the past year and a half. Many people died."

"Yes, young lady. Although they are not enemy troops, there are many bandits. The south is the most chaotic, so His Majesty decided to send our general. However, the general is currently entangled by the enemy. Although he has won several battles, he still has no time to go."

"So that's the most chaotic place, with the most people moving around," she thought for a moment, "How long did it take for those civilians who were killed to report it?"

"It's so chaotic over there... Some people say they are still looking for it, and some say there are bodies, but for those missing people, there might not even be a complete body."

This is an opportunity!

"Xiao Hai, don't go too deep into chaotic places. Wait and see the surroundings, and find out what's happening recently. Get used to your clothes. There's a war going on, and there are many people there. See who's there. Also," she held Xiao Hai.
