After taking off the mask, an old man's wrinkled face was revealed. He was frowning and his gaze was cold. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
According to the rules of the Dark Dragon Pavilion, after the contact has seen the next person, he should go to the headquarters to report the next person's information as well as what he or she wants to do.
However, he didn't know why his contact would stay in the yard for so long, as if he was hesitating about something. In the end, he didn't leave.
This store and yard were truly familiar places. No one would have thought of this place to begin with — Mu Qingqiu's medical hall. Who would have thought that a place used to treat patients during the day would be occupied by assassins?
Furthermore, there was a hidden passage in the courtyard that allowed them to reach the Dark Dragon Pavilion's headquarters.
After the birthday banquet with Princess Zhaoyan, Yan Ling stayed in his room to study the medical books that Mu Qingqiu had given him.
Perhaps because he had known medicinal herbs for a long time, coupled with the fact that Yan Ling was also very interested in this area, he unexpectedly learned very quickly. However, Yan Ling was only learning by himself. There were many things he could not understand. He could only ask about them after Mu Qingqiu returned.
Just like this, another month passed. Only then did Yan Ling find out from whom he had received the news that Mu Qingqiu had returned. He packed up his things and prepared to pay a visit.
As for Snow Cherry, she seemed to have given up after seeing no news of what had happened to Yan Ling. After that, Snow Cherry went to that alley to wait, but there was no one there. She was once beaten up by the people on the street as a female ghost.
This matter did not succeed. Although Snow Cherry was somewhat unhappy, she did not seem to be too angry. After all, when they first met, Snow Cherry had already started to hesitate. Although she clenched her teeth and sat down, there was no result now. For her, this was not a bad ending.
When Yan Ling arrived at Mu Qingqiu's infirmary, she was sitting on a chair drinking tea. When she saw Yan Ling, she was stunned for a moment before calling him over to her.
Yan Ling originally wanted to ask some questions, but after seeing Mu Qingqiu's hesitant appearance, he became somewhat curious. Yan Ling had never seen anything like this before, so what could possibly cause his master to become like this?
After some unease, Yan Ling finally could not help but ask, "Master, what happened to make you act like this?"
When Mu Qingqiu saw that Yan Ling had already figured it out, she did not continue to hide it. Instead, she looked at him with a deeper meaning.
After a long while, Mu Qingqiu finally asked, "Have you resolved the matter from last time thoroughly?"
Yan Ling seemed to be stunned for a while before realizing that his master was referring to him being assassinated. He immediately smiled.
"He had already lost more than half of his manpower last time, and has been rather obedient since then. He has never come looking for trouble with me." Yan Ling said naturally.
Of course, Snow Cherry could not be considered as being peaceful. After all, she had intended to drug Yan Ling at Princess Zhaoyan's banquet, but in Yan Ling's opinion, this was just a small matter compared to suicide. There was no need to make Mu Qingqiu worry for her.
However, after saying this, Yan Lingzhu saw Mu Qingqiu's expression and immediately felt that something wasn't right.
"Master, do you know something else?" Yan Ling suddenly became serious and asked with a frown.
Mu Qingqiu sighed. She didn't need to hide anything from her disciple, not to mention the fact that she had gone behind his back.
"I... I have a friend who belongs to an assassination organization. He clearly told me that just one month ago, someone wanted to buy your life. " Mu Qingqiu said with a frown, but there was also a trace of hesitation in her tone.
When Yan Ling heard this, he was startled. He then heard Mu Qingqiu continue, "Because you are my disciple, this order to buy your life was suppressed and it was not passed on. However, since I have already decided to kill them, I will not let this matter rest. "
Yan Ling frowned and continued to ask, "Does Master know what the person who wants to buy my life looks like? Is it a man or a woman?"
Mu Qingqiu seemed to hesitate for a moment before she continued, "It's a woman. I can't tell you too much information, but you can think about who you have recently become enemies with."
Yan Ling naturally understood that it was already the limit for Mu Qingqiu to be able to tell him all of this. Furthermore, he had already said so much. Even if he didn't say who the culprit was, Yan Ling already knew who he was.
Recently, Yan Ling had only had two conflicts with two girls. One of them was his good little sister Yan Shuang, and the other was the Snow Cherry of the White Court.
Although there were some conflicts between Yan Shuang and Yan Ling, with Yan Shuang's current courage, it was impossible for her to buy a murder case. After all, Yan Shuang had already been punished for her wrongdoings, and now she didn't dare to act rashly.
Other than that, there was only Snow Cherry left. Although Yan Ling didn't know how he had offended her, he could see that she had an irreconcilable relationship with him.
If it was Snow Cherry, Yan Ling would not find it strange at all. However, just as Mu Qingqiu had said, even if they knew, one was in the light while the other was in the dark.
Snow Cherry would not let it go so easily. Then, there was definitely another way. Even if he was careful and guarded against it, he would still be at a loss when he was at a complete loss.
Looking at how Yan Ling's eyebrows were about to twitch, Mu Qingqiu could not help but ask, "What are you pondering about alone here? What about Liang He? Let him settle it for you! "
After Mu Qingqiu finished speaking, she seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied.
Yan Ling shook his head and smiled helplessly. What did this have to do with Liang He? However, Mu Qingqiu's words were indeed not bad. She couldn't solve this problem herself, so she definitely had to discuss it with Liang He.
"Master, you are right, we do need to tell him, but what is the name of that assassination organization? Who was in charge? "I have to ask around, at least I have some clues." Yan Ling asked.
It was unknown if it was because of Yan Ling's imagination, but she felt that after Mu Qingqiu heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He was so hesitant that he didn't say anything in the end.
Yan Ling felt that it was a little strange, but he did not ask any further questions. He had a new plan in mind, but he still needed to confirm it.
