Ren Bing arrived at Qingzhu Courtyard before Qin Xiang did.

As soon as Ren Bing arrived in front of Qin Wanyou, he immediately apologized, "Please forgive me, Pavilion Master, I was late last night."

Qin Wanyou propped her elbows on the table, and Shuangling immediately stepped forward to massage her temples.

Qin Wanyou pinched her brow with her fingers. "The assassins last night came prepared. You've just recovered from the poison, so it's not advisable for you to fight. Besides, Ding Yi isn't here for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I asked you to spend more time with Li Bo and Gou Dan. There's no need to blame yourself."

Suddenly, Qin Wanyou gestured for Shuangling to stop and gave Ren Bing a look.

Ren Bing immediately hid.

A moment later, a maid at the courtyard gate called out, "Greetings, Master."

In the blink of an eye, Prime Minister Qin arrived in front of Qin Wanyou.

Qin Wanyou stood up and came out to greet him, "Father."

Upon seeing the Prime Minister arrive, the maids were quite sensible and immediately served tea.

Prime Minister Qin sat down in the main seat of the living room, picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Wanyou, you've worked hard these past few days."

Qin Wanyou looked at the ground and said modestly, "Praying for the Prime Minister's residence is what Wanyou should do, and I don't feel it's hard work."

Qin Xiang nodded as he looked at Qin Wanyou, inwardly praising her, but it was a pity!

Seeing that Prime Minister Qin remained silent, Qin Wanyou asked again, "What is it, Father?"

Qin Xiang stopped beating around the bush, but still carefully asked, "How is your spiritual power recovering now?"

When Qin Wanyou heard the word "spiritual power," she was slightly startled. Had she been discovered? However, she quickly regained her composure after hearing the rest of the story.

He shook his head. "I haven't recovered, so I can't cultivate."

Qin Xiang had known this all along, so he wasn't surprised. "It's like this. Mingyu's spiritual power has improved recently. Since you can no longer cultivate spiritual techniques, let's give the 'Spirit Moon Heart Method' to Mingyu. It's also a family heirloom of my Qin family."

Qin Wanyou sneered inwardly. She thought they had forgotten, but they remembered now. However...

"Father, can my elder brother see the words and techniques on the cultivation manual?"

Qin Xiang paused for a moment, but he was thick-skinned enough to say, "Although it's not possible right now, the only person in the family with spiritual power right now is your eldest brother, and he will be able to see the words on it soon. Besides, it's useless for you to have it now."

Since that's the case, Qin Wanyou didn't refuse. "Father, please wait a moment, I'll go get it for you."

Then Qin Wanyou went into her room and found the cultivation manual on the yellow cloth in a corner.

After taking it out, he handed it directly to Prime Minister Qin.

After taking it, Prime Minister Qin asked, still unwilling to give up, "You really can't see what's written after the third layer?"

Qin Wanyou nodded, looking somewhat sad, "Now, let alone anything beyond the third level, I can't see anything except the four words 'Lingyue Heart Method'."

Seeing that Qin Wanyou didn't seem to be lying, Prime Minister Qin took the cultivation manual and left satisfied.

After Prime Minister Qin left, Ren Bing disguised herself as Qin Wanyou and came out.

However, Qin Wanyou showed no intention of leaving. She instructed Ren Bing, "There have been many things going on at the Prime Minister's residence recently. Go to Linglong Pavilion to help out and assist Jin Ling and the others. Linglong Pavilion suffered considerable losses this time."

Ren Bing should be.

Before leaving, Qin Wanyou reminded her, "Be careful not to reveal your appearance."

The news of the robbery and attack on Linglong Pavilion spread after daybreak, and those who witnessed it were terrified, some even fainting from fright.

As soon as it was light, Yuling went to the government office to report the incident.

The government officials came to carry away the body of the man in black, but it wasn't until noon that they arrived.

People were frightened by the scene and quickly avoided Linglong Pavilion.

After the bodies were moved and the officials finished their inspection and left, Yu Ling and the waiters stood at the door, weeping to the people, "Those damned thieves! They tried to rob us last night while our manager was out buying goods. When they failed, they destroyed Linglong Pavilion's merchandise. They even tried to kill us to silence us, but thankfully our manager had prepared defensive measures in advance, and they wiped out the thieves. Otherwise, Linglong Pavilion wouldn't have been razed to the ground. Linglong Pavilion will be closed for renovations for now. We'll let everyone know in advance when it reopens. Thank you all for your patronage during this time!"

When the people heard that Linglong Pavilion would be closing down, they were very saddened. They had been truly moved by the respect and service Linglong Pavilion provided during the recent rainy period.

They all sympathized with and comforted Yu Ling, saying, "Miss Yu, don't be sad. We will always support you. We will urge the authorities to find the murderers as soon as possible and give you an explanation."

Yu Ling kept thanking them.

Finally, he closed the door with tears in his eyes.

Yu Ling was truly heartbroken and cried. As soon as she closed the door, she turned around and clearly saw the entire Linglong Pavilion destroyed, a scene of utter devastation. All her hard work over the past few days had been wiped out. Finally, she couldn't help but squat down, look up, and cry out, "Ah~! Why?! Our efforts, our money! All gone!"

The people who hadn't gone far outside heard the wailing and shook their heads and sighed, feeling extremely sympathetic. Some even cried, while others silently stepped forward to help clean up the mess in front of Linglong Pavilion.

Ren Bing came to the back and gently patted Yu Ling's shoulder.

After venting her frustrations, Yu Ling immediately reverted to her usual capable and shrewd self, constantly directing her subordinates to clean up the damaged items while calculating the losses suffered by Linglong Pavilion and how many goods remained intact.

The government also attached great importance to the midnight attack and robbery at Linglong Pavilion. One reason was that Linglong Pavilion paid a lot of taxes every month, and without Linglong Pavilion, the tax revenue would be much less each month. Another reason was that during this rainy period, everyone had benefited from Linglong Pavilion to some extent.

This matter also reached the palace and alarmed the emperor.

The Emperor had heard about the wonders of the Linglong Pavilion from his subordinates, but had never visited it before. He was preparing to leave the palace to see it for himself when this unexpected incident occurred.

So the next day, it was mentioned during the morning court session, and the people in charge of the case took it even more seriously.

The person behind it was now somewhat alarmed and repeatedly checked with his subordinates to see if any evidence had been left behind.

I only felt relieved and went to sleep after confirming that there were no problems.

The people in the Regent's Palace are now living in constant fear, worried that the Crown Prince might accidentally die one day.

Seeing everyone in the manor so dejected and with such gloomy faces every day, Doctor Luo was displeased. "Look at what you all do every day? Are you mourning? Murong is still alive! He wasn't going to leave, but you've all scared him so much that he doesn't want to wake up. Don't you have anything else to do? When the young master recovers, are you going to leave him a penniless royal manor? Yun and I will take care of the young master. You all go do what you need to do! Don't just stand here like wooden stakes."

The old Duke urged them, "That's right, that's right, hurry up and go to Tianxiang Restaurant to buy some good food. When Murong wakes up, he can eat good food. You're all just getting in the way here."

Gu Siyuan thought to himself, "Is it my uncle who wants to eat this, or do you want to eat this?"

But I still went to get some takeout with Moxi.

Once you go out, things will get really interesting.

Everyone was discussing the incident of Linglong Pavilion being attacked and forced to close late at night.

Upon inquiring, I was shocked!

How can it be?

That's the Linglong Pavilion!

Gu Siyuan and the others hurried to Linglong Pavilion to find out what was going on.

After seeing that the gates of Linglong Pavilion were indeed closed, Gu Siyuan beat his chest and stamped his feet in frustration. Who was the heartless bastard who did such a despicable thing?

However, Mo Xi was not as angry and emotional as Gu Siyuan. Linglong Pavilion's recent grand expansion had already threatened some people's interests, and such a thing was bound to happen sooner or later. Nevertheless, he was still shocked by Linglong Pavilion's strength.

When Murong Xiao woke up, he was somewhat relieved to see that the creditors who seemed to owe them millions were gone. Then, as if remembering something, he asked a question.
