After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Seeing this, Duan Li finally shifted his gaze away from Jiang Shaorong.

Xiao Ran mouthed to him with a playful smile, "Don't look."

Then she added in a low voice, "He can eat people."

Pei Yun shook his head helplessly; he really had no way of finding the woman.

He clenched his fist, slammed it on the table in anger, and was filled with remorse. It was a shame he hadn't known about the case beforehand; he'd only found out later… otherwise, he would have stayed here all night!

Chen Zijin was very close to Pei Yun and was startled by the sudden commotion.

"How about we ask the people in Dirty Street tomorrow...?" Chen Zijin asked timidly.

Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly flashed, and she stared intently at Chen Zijin.

"No!" Pei Yun's voice still carried a hint of anger. "The people of Dirty Street avoid us like the plague, how could they tell us the truth?"

Chen Zijin lowered her head, looking dejected.

“What Miss Chen said is not without reason,” Jiang Shaorong gently advised. “If we disguise ourselves and blend in, the people of Dirty Street might be more willing to speak their minds.”

Chen Zijin slowly raised her head, and just as she was about to see Jiang Shaorong's comforting gaze, Xiao Ran "intercepted" her halfway.

"How can you be completely open to everyone? Do you expect the people of Dirty Street to pry their mouths open if they don't want to talk?" Xiao Ran scoffed.

Jiang Shaorong remained silent.

Seeing Jiang Shaorong choke, she felt a little better.

Then he slowly said, "Actually, what Sister Zijing said is not wrong, but we need to change our perspective..."

……

The next day.

Sunlight streamed down, falling directly on the dirty street, adding a touch of tranquility to it.

Several street vendors were busily unpacking their goods, rummaging through their stalls to make them look more presentable. However, a few stalls, like the one under the big tree at the alley entrance, couldn't be decorated as nicely…

"Cheap sale! All kinds of medicines are transported from the capital!" Xiao Ran shouted at the top of her lungs.

Xiao Ran handed a medicinal herb to a resident of the dirty street, then took one of the two coins the resident offered. He grinned, wiped the sweat from his brow with his linen sleeve, and said, "Uncle, this herb only costs one coin. We're new here, so we hope you'll help us spread the word."

"Okay... okay," the old man replied cheerfully.

After the old man left, Pei Yun asked, "Will this really work?"

"We'll know whether it works or not in a few days," Xiao Ran said mysteriously.

“Pei Shaoqing, don’t just stand there! Come and help us shout out for help, otherwise the people in the dirty street will be scared away by your stern face. Don’t make things worse.”

Pei Yun scratched his head, gave a blank "Oh," and then called out:

"Selling at a low price..."

However, for some reason, he always felt like he had been deceived...

Moreover, how did he become a hindrance? Hadn't he already withdrawn all the people from the Dali Temple?

When he came to his senses, he only heard Xiao Ran say, "I'll be back later," and then Xiao Ran and Duan Li disappeared together.

……

Xiao Ran led Duan Li to a house.

Although this house looks similar to that abandoned house on the outside, the interior is much more beautiful than that dilapidated house.

A middle-aged man inside the room said:

"Xiao Ran? I've heard Master Qi mention you before."
