Ignoring his mother's words, Zhang Sanfeng placed his schoolbag on the table, tucked the cleaned soft sword into his quilt, ran out, pushed his mother away, and began washing clothes.

“Mother, if you can’t stay idle, go cook. Father should be back soon,” Zhang Sanfeng said without looking up.

Zhang Sanfeng's mother looked at the sky outside and realized it was really late before saying, "Alright, then you can take your time washing. If you can't finish, leave it for me to wash later."

"Well, mother, I understand."

Tang Yue rushed to the outhouse as fast as she could, and after relieving herself, she felt a sense of liberation.

"Ugh, this is so frustrating! Next time I should just finish quickly, otherwise holding it in too long will cause constipation," she said. She found a place to change into clean clothes before rushing back to find Jun Lingmo and Shen Zhiyun who were waiting for her.

"Ah Yue, why did you change your clothes?" Shen Zhiyun looked at Tang Yue beside her in confusion.

Tang Yue was a little embarrassed. She had gotten blood on her clothes from fighting, and if her mother found out, she would definitely have her checked from head to toe again. "It's just that the outhouse smelled a bit, so I went to the store and bought a new set of clothes to change into."

"Oh, then let's hurry up and go."

"Ah."

Jun Lingmo didn't believe that she changed her clothes because of the outhouse; he could smell a faint scent of blood on her.

"Yue, did you encounter anything on the way? Why did it take so long?" Jun Lingmo asked casually.

"No, I just spent some time buying clothes," I thought. Had he discovered something?

To be honest, it was just teaching a small-time hoodlum a lesson, nothing serious.

But the thought of how they would pry into her mind if they found out she had fought made her scalp tingle. She really couldn't stand that kind of concern. Tang Ruhua was enough; she should just let it go and brush it off.

However, it seems she forgot to take her sword again.

Oh well, it's not like it's her precious knife. She can just throw it away. She has plenty of other knives in her storage space anyway.

Jun Lingmo: "Okay, let's go quickly then."

Han Cheng, following behind, looked at the crime scene left by Tang Yue and recalled Tang Yue's moves in his mind. Her martial arts skills were not weak, but they were not enough to make so many people disappear into thin air.

He glanced at the few thugs who hadn't gone far yet, his brows furrowing in disgust.

He strode over and beheaded several people. These scum, worse than pigs and dogs, didn't deserve to live.

He threw the men into a nearby dry well and then returned to his residence to report to the Prime Minister.

Han Cheng turned to Lin Xiang, who was reading the memorial, and said respectfully, "My lord, the background investigation of those children has been completed."

"explain."

"Yes, my lord."

"That family has three children. One of them is named Jun Lingmo, who looks remarkably like His Majesty. He has lived in this town since he was little, relying on the young eunuch for survival. I heard that he was blind until he was five years old, always wearing a cloth covering his eyes, but when he was five, his eyesight suddenly returned."

"The girl's name is Tang Yue, her mother's name is Tang Ruhua, and her father's identity is unknown; no investigation has been conducted. Some say he is dead. She lived in Tangjia Village until she was five years old, and then moved here after that."

Lin Xiang paused for a moment, then asked, "Why did you move here?"

"I have been to Tangjia Village. The people there say that Tang Ruhua cheated on her husband and that's why she gave birth to Tang Yue. Tang Ruhua's parents couldn't stand the villagers' gossip and drove them away."

"And what about the remaining one?"

Han Cheng frowned and continued, "The child's name is Shen Zhiyun. However, it seems that Tang Ruhua and her family picked him up. I inquired in the nearby villages, but there is no family with the surname Shen. He is just a child who appeared out of nowhere."

"There's one more thing I found out. When Tang Yue first moved in, she really liked to bully Jun Lingmo. But after she fell into the water and got a fever, she became really nice to Jun Lingmo."

"Most importantly, several children said they had seen Jun Lingmo's eyes were red, but their parents said that the children might have been mistaken, since no one can change the color of a person's eyes."

“Red eyes…” Lin Xiang murmured.

"Hmm, how good are their martial arts skills?"

"Tang Yue's martial arts skills are the highest, but below mine, about the same as the other secret guards. However, Jun Lingmo's martial arts skills are even worse than Tang Yue's. Shen Zhiyun has probably only been learning martial arts for a few days. As for that little eunuch and woman, they have no martial arts skills at all. Therefore, I believe that someone may be helping them in secret."

Lin Xiang twirled the ring on his finger, a sneer playing on his lips. "Secretly helping? Hmph, I'd like to see who's secretly helping us."

"Send another group of people, choose those with high martial arts skills. You go with them this time, follow them secretly. No matter what happens, don't take action. Come back as soon as you see who is helping you."

"Yes, my lord."

Tang Yue noticed that they had recently gained quite a few followers.

Is that old bastard Lin Xiang planning another assassination attempt?

Shouldn't she create an opportunity for them? Otherwise, she can't prevent these people from taking action in their home.

Tang Yue is a man of action who does what he says.

There's no time like the present, let's surprise them tonight.

She mumbled through a chicken wing, "Jun Lingmo, after we finish eating, will you come with me for a walk?"

"it is good."

“I want to go too, Yue,” Shen Zhiyun said, putting down her chopsticks.

Tang Yue cruelly refused, "You're not good enough, you need to practice your skills properly." They were going to fight, not to take a real walk.

Shen Zhiyun bit his lip in dissatisfaction and reluctantly uttered two words, "Fine... then," he really needed to practice martial arts properly.

After finishing their meal, Tang Yue and Jun Lingmo went out to digest their food.

Jun Lingmo looked at the composed Tang Yue and asked, "You didn't just want to come out for a walk to digest your food, did you?"

"Of course, we have to swat all the flies that are following us around, otherwise they'll keep bothering us and it'll be very annoying."

Jun Lingmo glanced behind him unintentionally and raised an eyebrow. Sure enough, another group of men in black had arrived, and their martial arts skills were much higher than the last time.

He turned to look at Tang Yue, recalling the scene of her sudden disappearance last time. He wondered how she would manage to escape unscathed this time.

The two strolled to the spot where they had been assassinated before, and then stopped.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jun Lingmo released that foolish boy, intending to test his courage.

Tang Yue turned around, looked behind her, and said casually, "Come out, stop hiding. We're all martial arts practitioners, we know you stalkers have been following us around every day."

The leader of the men in black gripped his knife and stepped out first.

"Young lady, you are very alert," the man in black said, clasping his hands in greeting.
