What to do if you receive the wrong package?

When Gu Yan and the others woke up, it was already broad daylight.

Although they were a little worried about Jiang Si and his group who went to investigate Mengci Nunnery last night, they didn't dare to sleep and chatted quietly to pass the time. In the middle of the night, they couldn't resist the strong sleepiness and fell asleep one after another.

Shen Mujin finished tidying up first and went straight out the door. Seeing Yu Bai exercising in the yard, she quickly asked, "Captain Yu, have Xuan Yi and the others returned?"

Yu Bai nodded. "They're back. His Highness and the others returned before dawn, but something seems to have happened during their investigation, so they went straight to the front hall upon their return."

"Something happened? What happened?" Zhou Yuran, who had just stepped out, immediately asked loudly upon hearing this.

"I don't know the specifics either, but it seems that His Highness and the others brought Young Master Su with them when they returned, so it might be related to Young Master Su." Yu Bai quickly explained, looking at the girls who had all come out because of Zhou Yuran's call.

"Little Tiger? Could it be that this child secretly went with them yesterday?" Zhou Yuran guessed.

Hua Yin: "It's possible. Xiao Hu is so worried about his little sister Xiao Hong, he'll definitely seize this opportunity and go with her."

Gu Yan looked at the two little ones beside him who were still half asleep, and asked without looking up, "So what are we going to do now? Have breakfast or go to the front hall to join the fun?"

"How about we have breakfast first..." Hua Yin thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Hu's unauthorized actions must have angered them. Let's go later, after they've calmed down, so we don't get caught up in it."

“You’re right. Let’s go eat!” Zhou Yuran nodded and led the group toward the small flower hall, saying as they walked, “The early bird catches the worm. If you eat a good breakfast, you can have a good day.”

Gu Yan: Yueya, you'll be able to explain.

As it turned out, no one expected this.

When they arrived at the small flower hall, they found that the people who had been discussing the matter earlier had already arrived and were eating, and seemed to be enjoying their meal in a harmonious manner.

"Hiss, has the reprimand and education already ended?" Hua Yin asked in a low voice, following behind Zhou Yuran.

"Hopefully, things will turn into a lecture at the dinner table..."

Shen Mujin bypassed them and sat down next to Xuan Yi, asking, "You're back. How was last night? Did you find anything?"

Xuan Yi raised an eyebrow in Su Xinian's direction, "We've made a gain; we've brought back Young Master Su."

"Hmm? Xiao Hu went with you guys?" Although Gu Yan had already guessed that Su Xinian had acted on his own, he was too embarrassed to say it directly.

Xuan Yi sneered: "Of course not. If it weren't for someone's sudden appearance, we probably would have found out even more information."

Su Xinian froze upon hearing this, wishing she could bury her entire face in the bowl.

“Palace Master Xuan, because of Axi’s appearance, we have actually turned misfortune into blessing, haven’t we?” Duan Chenke sensed his cousin’s unease, gently patted his shoulder, and took the initiative to explain.

"Yes, yes, I should thank you..." Xuan Yi was about to say something sarcastic when he saw Shen Mujin shake her head at him, so he could only silently take a bite of the steamed dumpling and keep quiet.

Zhou Yuran, who was halfway through eating melon seeds, immediately shifted her gaze to Duan Chenke, with a hint of resentment, as if expressing her dissatisfaction at not being able to get any melon seeds.

"Your Highness, what exactly happened last night?"

Duan Chenke put down his chopsticks and recounted his actions from the previous night.

It was the middle of the night, dark and windy, the perfect day for reconnaissance.

The four of them changed into night clothes, deliberately removed all items that represented their identities, and then flew towards Mengci Nunnery.

Although Meng Ci Nunnery had highly skilled martial artists protecting them in secret, avoiding these people was quite easy for Xuan Yi and his companions.

The Mengci Nunnery was quiet, with only a few dim lanterns casting their faint glow. The main hall, shrouded in darkness, was cast with blurry and deep shadows by the candlelight, and a gust of cold wind brought a chilly atmosphere.

Jiang Si and his group lay on the roof of the main hall, while the entire front courtyard was deserted.

"Such a big front yard, and there's not a single person in it," Xuan Yi said in a low voice.

"They're probably all in the backyard. Why don't we split up?" Duan Chenke asked after a moment of thought.

"Okay, be careful. We'll meet here in about an incense stick's time."

Xuan Yi and his group split into two groups. Xuan Yi and Jiang Si went to the kitchen in the northeast corner, while Duan Chenke led Jian Yuheng to explore the inner courtyard in the northwest corner.

The courtyard where the kitchen was located was larger than Xuan Yi had imagined, especially since the kitchen was actually in the same courtyard as the stables, which was quite unexpected.

The stables were a mess, with four brown horses and a thick, high pile of straw against the wall.

Jiang Si pointed to the straw and whispered, "Four horses couldn't possibly eat this much straw. Let's go take a look."

You can smell the stench just standing here, let alone the smell coming from the stables. Xuan Yi pulled a piece of black cloth from the hem of his shirt and covered his face with it, then followed Jiang Si deeper into the stables with a look of disgust on his face.

The horses in the stable weren't very strong, panting heavily. The two carefully avoided the horses and walked to the straw. Jiang Si raised his sword and slowly thrust it into the haystack, but it was stopped halfway by something hard.

"There's something in the grass," Jiang Si whispered.

Because it was too dark, the two dared not carelessly part the haystack, fearing they might alert the snake if they didn't manage to do so properly. They could only make a few simple movements from the side, but still couldn't see clearly.

The two had no choice but to leave the stable and head towards the kitchen, when they suddenly heard a noise coming from the courtyard wall.

The two squatted beside the haystack, watching a black figure quickly scale the wall from the outside, moving with great agility.

However, as soon as the shadowy figure landed, a sharp whistle came from outside the courtyard. The figure immediately became alert, quickly looked around, and without hesitation hid in the shadows of the stable, not daring to make a sound.

Xuan Yi and his companion tensed up, fearing that the dark figure would expose them. Xuan Yi, in particular, couldn't help but curse inwardly.

At this moment, two men in black flew in quickly from outside the courtyard wall, each holding a luminous pearl. A group of people also quickly gathered inside the courtyard. Although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, they were holding swords that gleamed with a cold light.

Xuan Yi wished he could kick the dark figure out of the stable, but he didn't dare to move, so he could only continue to hide in the stinking corner of the stable.

Just then, two more men in black entered through the courtyard gate. One of them walked slightly ahead, holding a lantern, seemingly to guide the people behind him.

"Captain." The two men in black who flew in first immediately nodded and called out to the men in black who came in later.

"What's wrong?" The man in black, referred to as the captain, looked around and asked.

"The bell on the wall just rang, and we thought someone had come in, so we blew the whistle," the man in black replied, his head slightly lowered, speaking in a measured tone.

"Did you see with your own eyes that someone climbed over the wall?"

"..." The man in black hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "I didn't see it."

Without saying a word, the captain threw a poisoned dart with his backhand. A scream rang out, and a black cat fell not far away, the poisoned dart still stuck in its neck.

The man in black turned pale instantly. He knew that his captain's methods were extraordinary, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Next time, watch carefully. Blowing the whistle too much will only expose you." The captain's voice was cold and authoritative, his gaze sweeping over the crowd with lightning speed, making everyone feel immense pressure.

The person holding the lantern next to the captain, seeing that everyone in front of him was stunned by the captain's presence, quickly waved his hand and said, "It's alright, everyone go back to your posts. Be more careful next time, and make sure you see clearly before you speak."

Before long, only the team leader and the man in black who was holding a lantern for him remained in the entire courtyard.

"Captain, shall we go too?" the man in black asked obsequiously.

"okay."

After the last two people had gone far away, Xuan Yi cautiously approached the shadows of the stable, trying to catch the dark figure that had almost exposed him.

The shadowy figure seemed to have all its attention focused on the group of people who had just appeared in the courtyard. It didn't react until Xuan Yi had slipped behind it. It quickly rushed out from the shadows of the stable, but it was too late, and Xuan Yi caught it red-handed.

Jiang Si followed behind Xuan Yi and ruthlessly pulled off the mask from the dark figure, leaving the two of them dumbfounded.

"Su Xi Nian?"

"Young Master Su?"

Hearing the familiar address, Su Xinian stopped struggling. Looking at the two people in front of her, she took off her mask. They were Jiang Si and Xuan Yi, who had come to Mengci Nunnery to investigate.

"Why are you here?" Xuan Yi frowned and asked, somewhat annoyed.

Annoying, it turns out to be someone I know. Now it's hard to make a move.

"I..." Su Xinian stammered, hesitant to speak. Should he admit that he had secretly followed them here?!

"Forget it, just stick close to us. We'll take you to see the King of Chu in a bit, you can just talk to him." Xuan Yi didn't bother listening anymore, he just waved his hand and walked towards Jiang Si who was squatting next to the black cat's corpse.

Su Xinian looked at the backs of the two people not far away, lowered her head and bit her lip, took out a small round ball from her bosom, as if she was making a decision.

"Old Jiang, what are you looking at?" Xuan Yi stood to the side, glancing at the cat corpse on the ground with some disdain.

Jiang Si removed the poisoned dart from the cat, placed it on a white cloth, wrapped it up, and put it in his pocket. After doing this, he said, "I saw the man in black holding the lantern in Kunlun Ruins. It seems that their team is directly under the command of the mysterious person."

"He's got quite a background, and his skills are pretty good too." Xuan Yi covered his nose and took a few steps back. The captain's attack had just pierced the black cat's carotid artery, and now blood was flowing into a small pool, making the smell of blood even more pungent.

"Let's go take a look around the kitchen; it's almost time to meet up."

Xuan Yi wanted to call Su Xinian along, but when he turned around, he found Su Xinian shaking a round object in his hand, looking around anxiously as he did so.

"What are you doing?" Xuan Yi walked over and asked in a low voice.

"I...I'll contact Sister Hong again." Su Xinian looked at Xuan Yi with some fear, as if afraid that he would intervene.

"Contact?" Xuan Yi was a little confused, but seeing Su Xinian's determined expression, he didn't say anything, only leaving a sentence, "Hurry up, this place is not safe to stay for long." After that, he and Jiang Si began to explore other places.

Seeing that Xuan Yi and Jiang Si, who were protecting him in the center, were actually investigating, Su Xinian couldn't help but speed up the shaking in his hand.

Just as Jiang Si was about to secretly knock on the kitchen door, he suddenly heard light footsteps coming from the courtyard gate.

Su Xinian's face lit up with joy. Just as he was about to say something, Jiang Si and Xuan Yi covered his mouth and controlled his movements, pulling him back to the shadows of the stable.

This time, it wasn't the man in black who entered, but a somewhat flustered woman.

Su Xinian began to struggle violently the moment he saw the woman. Xuan Yi and Jiang Si seemed to have guessed what was going on and decisively released Su Xinian.

Su Xinian strode out from behind the stable and tightly embraced the somewhat unfamiliar woman in front of him.

"Sister Hong! I've finally found you."

The woman called Xiao Hong gently patted Su Xinian's back. Just as she was about to say something, she saw two more men in black walk out from behind the stable and immediately became alert.

Su Xinian sensed the change in the person in her arms and quickly stood up to explain in a low voice, "Sister Hong, don't be afraid. These are the two brothers who came with me. They are here to help me."

After hearing the explanation, Xiaohong nodded in relief. "Thank you both, Axi has caused you trouble."

Xuan Yi completely ignored the woman's politeness and asked, "Are you Xiao Hong?"

"Yes. That's me." Xiao Hong nodded, seemingly a little puzzled.

"How were you captured? Are there any other girls captured here besides you?"

Xiao Hong knew that the matter here couldn't be explained in a few words, so she took out a neatly folded square cloth from her bosom and handed it to Xuan Yi.

"The questions you asked and the information I've gathered are all here. It's not safe here, I can't stay any longer, you should leave now."

"No, Sister Hong, I'll take you with me." Su Xinian frowned, holding onto Xiao Hong tightly and refusing to let go.

Jiang Si unexpectedly raised his hand and delivered a karate chop to the back of Su Xinian's neck. After helping the unconscious Su Xinian up, Jiang Si said to Xiao Hong, "Miss Xiao Hong, we will come again. Please keep an eye on the delivery person these next few days. We will take you away when we meet again."

"Thank you. Please tell Axi that I'm fine and that he shouldn't worry."

"Here, put some in their food every day. Don't worry, it's colorless and odorless, and it won't be detected by the silver needles. You can eat it too, but after you finish, just smell the second small bottle and you'll be fine." Xuan Yi handed Xiao Hong a small cloth bag and said quickly.

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Hong nodded solemnly, then put the small cloth bag into her arms. She glanced at Su Xinian with some reluctance, then turned and walked quickly outside.

Xuan Yi clicked his tongue and complained, "You knocked him out, and now I have to carry him on my back. What a hassle."

“It would be more troublesome if we didn’t knock her out.” Jiang Si carried Su Xinian on his back and followed behind Xuan Yi, returning to the roof of the main hall in the front courtyard in a few leaps.

A short while later, Duan Chenke and his companion flew back. Looking at the unconscious Su Xinian beside Xuan Yi, he said with a hint of helplessness, "Did A-Xi cause you any trouble by coming along?"

"I offended some people, but I also helped some," Jiang Si briefly recounted what had just happened.

Duan Chenke nodded and pointed behind him: "We found the missing group of girls here, but all of them have shaved their heads and look a bit abnormal."

Knowing this was not the place to talk, the group took Su Xinian and quietly left into the night, without alerting any of the guards hidden in the shadows.

Except for one person.

The captain of the men in black, back in the kitchen courtyard, looked at the black cat whose poison darts had been taken away, and whispered to the person beside him, "Burn it."

"Ah, yes." The man in black found some dry grass in the stable and spread it around the black cat. Then he took the candle flame from the lantern in his hand and threw it on the dry grass next to the black cat, instantly lighting up a patch of fire.
