The two of them looked up, like two abandoned wolfhounds.

Full of panic and pity.

Were they really abandoned?

If the Sect Master doesn't want them, they can only die—

The desolation in the two men's eyes surprised Li Qingluo slightly.

She didn't expect them to be so stubborn!

The old Duke tamed these assassins like pieces of wood, which was really pitiful.

However, she didn't really want to let them go at all.

It’s just that there are some things in their minds that they want to change.

Li Qingluo sighed, "If you really don't want to leave, and from now on you no longer have the Night Killing Sect's master's jade pendant, are you still willing to acknowledge me as the Sect Master and continue to follow me?"

The two men immediately looked up, their eyes filled with joy as they loudly replied, "We are willing!"

"The two of us are willing to follow you for the rest of our lives and serve you forever!"

"From now on, we will only recognize people, not jade pendants!"

"Please don't abandon us, the Night Killing Sect!"

Li Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guys think so, what about others?"

"As I recall, there are now more than twenty members of the Night Killing Sect?"

One of the assassins replied, "Master, there are currently twenty-seven of us in the Night Killing Sect."

Twenty-seven people?

This is a considerable number of people.

Li Qingluo: "Then where are they usually?"

At this moment: "We...usually, most of us stay in Xiaoyao Sect."

"Then there will be about five people who will take turns waiting in various dark places in the city, ready to respond to the Sect Master's call at any time."

In the past, when Li Qingluo wanted to find them, he would just whistle.

No wonder they can be called upon at any time, it turns out they have been wandering around the city in places where no one can see them.

What’s the difference between that and a wandering ghost?

"Then I will give you two a task now."

They were willing to let Wu Yupei recognize her as the boss, but what about the other twenty-five people?

Li Qingluo asked them to go back and tell everyone in the Shiye Sect that the jade pendant was broken.

She can set free those who are willing to leave in the future.

If you are still willing to stay, you can go to General Xiuli’s mansion to find her tomorrow.

The two of them immediately lowered their heads to obey orders, and left the place through the window in the blink of an eye.

Duan Rongshi has been watching how Li Qingluo wins people's hearts.

Seeing that she had finally sent the two away, he slowly asked her, "You want to disband the Night Killing Sect, but have you consulted me, the Sect Leader, about my opinion?"

Li Qingluo chuckled.

"Your Highness, you have also seen the drawbacks of this matter. What should I do if I lose the jade pendant again in the future?"

"These fools only recognize the jade pendant and not the person. It's inevitable that they will listen to others and come to kill me."

"Just now, I killed 'myself', and now they can recognize me who picked up the jade pendant again."

"Isn't this a form of betrayal to me?"

"In order to prevent future troubles, I will make a small change."

"After all, they won't be like you, who only recognizes me as a commoner!"

Duan Rongshi reached out and pinched her face: "You're so smooth-talking. But how are you going to get your face back?"

Li Qingluo knew that he didn't use much force, but he still exclaimed repeatedly.

"Oh My God."

"Please be gentle."

"As expected, Your Highness still values ​​beauty over appearance. Has Your Highness begun to despise my plain and ordinary appearance?"

Duan Rongshi: "I'm afraid that with this face, your grandmother won't let you go home."

Li Qingluo was stunned.

She was indeed worried that her grandmother would not believe her.

"Your Highness and I will go back together!"

With his testimony, grandma would at least believe it a little bit, right?

Duan Rongshi smiled slowly: "Then I will do it with reluctance."

Facing his smile, Li Qingluo blushed.

She could sense that he seemed very happy?

The two of them walked out of the house together, and Zhuiyu and Pofeng, who were guarding in the yard, were secretly surprised.

"Your Highness, this young man, could he really be your old..."

Before Zhuiyu could finish his words, he saw Li Qingluo lying in a pool of blood on the floor inside the house.

He screamed, "Girl!?"

"Your Highness, that's a girl!"

"That……"

Duan Rongshi glared at him: "Shut up!"

"Go and bury her."

He took the hot towel handed to him by the mute slave and wiped his hands carefully.

He also asked the mute slave to present a hot handkerchief to Li Qingluo as well.

After both of them had wiped their hands, he took Li Qingluo to the garden filled with flower pots.

Zhuiyu and Pofeng stood there as if struck by lightning, their souls almost shattered.

Especially Zhui Yu, who stumbled towards the door and looked at the dead body of the "girl", tears instantly streaming down his face.

"Your Highness is crazy...crazy!"

"What did he do?"

"He actually killed the girl?"

When Pofeng heard him say that, he covered his mouth with his hand.

"I think you are the one who is crazy!"

"Do you want to die or do you want to be spanked again?"

"How dare you say such a thing!"

"Although I was also surprised, we don't know what happened in the house just now."

"Stop talking!"

Zhuiyu turned around without much strength, but still pushed Pofeng away.

"You have nothing in common with the girl, so of course you won't be sad!"

"I lost the girl...it was me!"

"The one who really deserves to die is me..."

"She was such a good person, and I finally found her, but she has lost her memory... Didn't you see the knife on her chest? It was something that His Highness had brought with him."

"Your Highness killed him personally."

"How could he suddenly become a different person and do something like this?"

"Haven't we all seen clearly his feelings for the girl a long time ago?"

"Why would he do such a thing... Could it be that His Highness had his soul taken away, or that insignificant woman just now drugged him with some kind of love potion?"

"I simply cannot believe that His Highness would do such a thing!"

Zhuiyu cried sadly and her legs went limp.

Li Qingluo couldn't help but look back when he heard the sound.

It was so sad to see Zhui Yu crying.

Although his crying was fake, she knew that he was truly crying for her. Li Qingluo couldn't bear it and tugged at Duan Rongshi's sleeve, "Your Highness, why don't you tell that idiot the truth yourself?"

Duan Rongshi: "He deserves it."

Looking down, he saw her pulling at his sleeve, so Duan Rongshi moved his arm a little closer to her so that she could hold his hand more comfortably.

Noticing his actions, Li Qingluo blushed and quickly let go.

Pofeng was afraid that if Zhuiyu continued crying, he would be punished, so he rushed him into the house to collect the body.

Qingyangzi and Lingfengzi, along with several other Taoists, were brought here from the other side by mute slaves.

Li Qingluo saw Qingyangzi with all his limbs intact and thought to himself: As expected, these two guys are in collusion with each other and work together from inside and outside.

But why did he call so many Taoists here?

Suddenly, she felt several unfriendly gazes falling on her.

Several mute slaves had just seen the corpse of 'Li Qingluo' in the house. They couldn't hide their sadness and grief on their faces, so they were a little rough when placing the teacups in front of Li Qingluo.

Even the pastries that were served were placed far away, making it impossible for Li Qingluo to reach them.

They kindly took her in for one night, but they didn't expect that she not only disguised herself as a woman, but also persuaded His Highness to kill the 'girl' that everyone in Guiyuan loved so much!

How could the mute slaves not be sad?

They all wanted to cry.

They thought the girl would be able to have a happy marriage with His Highness, but they never expected that such a... plain-looking liar would suddenly appear!

At this moment, the mute slaves looked at Li Qingluo with a bit of resentment and disgust in their eyes.

Li Qingluo felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, with a thorn in his back.

She couldn't wait to tell the world that she was the real Li Qingluo!

However, if you shout out such an incredible thing, people will just think you are crazy.

When the real self regains his appearance, the truth will naturally come to light.

She could only bite the bullet and endure those gazes, sitting and drinking tea with Prince Su.

After Duan Rongshi personally pushed the pastry to her, she ate it in small bites.

Qingyangzi and Lingfengzi both glanced at Li Qingluo and respectfully saluted King Su.

Qing Yangzi: "Your Highness, I have brought the people you requested. We will set up the dojo later. You only need to bring the person you want to exorcise."

Dojo?

Exorcism?

Are they here in Guiyuan to exorcise evil spirits?

To, to that fake 'self'?

The corner of Li Qingluo's mouth twitched.

Only then did she understand that Duan Rongshi had actually thought that the fake substitute was possessed by a ghost.

That's why she asked Qing Yangzi and the others to come and exorcise the evil spirit for her.

She actually found it somewhat funny.

And a bit sad.

It was a rare thing in the world that he could tell that it was not himself in such a short time.

I'm afraid there's no one else like him who can be so determined not to recognize his appearance and voice, but only recognize himself, right?

Li Qingluo couldn't help but stare at Duan Rongshi in front of everyone.

Duan Rongshi noticed her gaze and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

There is some joy that cannot be suppressed.

But in front of Qing Yangzi and the others, he could only pretend to be calm and indifferent.

He restrained himself from returning her gaze.

He just looked at Qing Yangzi and the others with a normal expression: "The matter has been settled. There is no need to trouble you anymore."

Qingyangzi was a little surprised.

But he quickly accepted it: "Yes, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, there has been a strange incident in the past few days, which I have never reported to you."

"Bitter forsythia, who was imprisoned in a cave on the back mountain, suddenly died a few days ago."

"We buried her nearby on the mountain, but the next day someone discovered that her grave had been disturbed."

"When I rushed to her grave to check, I found that her body was gone."
