it wouldn't be effective unless thrown onto the water's surface, so I figured I'd do the owner of the ribbon a favor. But I had forgotten that at the time, I couldn't swim..."Then you fell" Xiao Yuge..."Attend to the master!" After entering the room, Feng Yan Niang and Lin Lang hurriedly stepped forward to bow.

"No need for formalities! Please, sit down." Xiao Yuge was now slowly getting used to the identity of this landlord. With every gesture, he exuded an air of grandeur, which filled Feng Yan's and Lin Lang's hearts with great satisfaction.

How is Qing Luo doing Is she feeling better She couldn't wait to hear about Qing Luo.

Lin Lang replied: "Rest assured, Lord. Miss Gu Qingluo is fine. I dared not bring her here without your order."

"It's good that she's alright. It's just not possible to bring her here for now. By the way, Fengjie, how did you end up here"

"Seeing that the master had not replied for a long time, his subordinates worried about his safety. So, they entrusted the matters in the building to Huo Yan after hastily rushing over. Please forgive the subordinates for leaving their post without permission!"

“Forget it, you've arrived just in time. In a few days, there will be a big battle here, and with you and Master Lin together, your chances of winning will be even greater!” Xiao Yuge looked at Lin Lang. Dressed in a neutral style, Lin Lang looked heroic and capable, comparable to a man. Her sharp eyes radiated shrewdness and competence.

Xiao Yuge mused to herself: This old geezer, Feng Lao, really knows how to pick people. His subordinates are all excellent choices, but I just can't figure out why he chose her as his successor Doesn't he see that she has no interest in this at all

"Yes!"

Lin Lang then told everyone about what he had found out recently.

"It seems that Fang Tianjing, the leader of the Salt Gang, definitely has a problem. Lin Hall Master, you have to be extra careful there and don't let him suspect you." Xiao Yuge reminded Lin Lang after hearing this.

"Rest assured, Lord. I owe him my life, and he has always had improper feelings for me. Therefore, he will never suspect me."

"That being said, we must still be cautious! A single Sky-Splitting Mirror is nothing to fear. I suspect he has a powerful backer, perhaps even a grand scheme in motion. Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn't have secretly sent King Xiaoyao here. The Salt Gang's influence is formidable. If we succeed this time, we'll bring it under the banner of the Frost and Snow Pavilion. You will be its new leader!"

"Yes!" Lin Lang and Feng Yan's daughter looked at each other, their faces filled with joy. The old owner was right, the young master had ambition and strategy.

"Also, you should secretly investigate the cases of missing girls here over the past two months..."

"My subordinate came today, and it's precisely for this matter that he arrived."

As soon as Xiao Yu heard the song, his face lit up. He eagerly asked, “Do you know where they are”

Lin Lang shook his head: "I'm sorry, host, I haven't found their exact location yet, but it's certain that their disappearance is related to Fang Tianjing..."

"As I expected. Master Lin, after you return, be sure to find out the whereabouts of those girls."

"I obey!"

"Sister Feng, King Xiao Yao will definitely send Ming Yang to investigate secretly. Don't confront him, or I'm afraid they will become suspicious." Xiao Yu Ge didn't know if she was being too suspicious, but she always felt that these days, Qian Ting Xuan's eyes looked at her strangely.

"Understood, sir."

“Alright, I'm going to Nancun now. It seems like everyone around here is watching us. You guys can't stay here too long, or we might arouse suspicion.” Xiao Yuge urged them to leave. The people who had been following them last night were still unidentified, and their identities couldn't be questioned. Otherwise, things would get complicated later on.

"But, OP, don't you have someone protecting you..."

Lin Lang and Feng Yanniang were still not at ease, so they decided to leave someone behind to protect Xiao Yuge.

"With King Xiyao by my side, I have nothing to worry about. Let's go quickly!" Xiao Yuge urged.

"Yes! This subordinate takes his leave!"

Feng Yian and Lin Lang didn't dare to say more, pretending that they had finished seeing the patient, they left there.

After making sure they weren't being followed, Xiao Yu Ge set off for Nancun to find Qian Ting Xuan.

Xiaoyu Ge, just as she stepped onto the stone bridge between Nancun and Beicun, heard the cheerful reading of children from the private school. She couldn't help but stop and gaze towards the direction of the school.

From afar, she saw Qian Tingxuan standing there with a book in his hand. He was earnestly teaching the children how to read, and I have to say, he looked very much like a teacher.

Perhaps no one would believe it, the mighty King of Freedom would actually come to such a place to be a teacher.

As soon as she stepped outside the private school, the children rushed out and grinned at Xiao Yuge. Hu Ping and Hu An ran up to her laughing, "Sister Ke'er!"

"Pingping, An'an, are you both here at school" Seeing the two of them, Xiao Yuge was rather surprised, after all, just a few days ago, the two of them were nearly on their last breaths.

"Well, my brother and I are almost recovered. Look, our necks aren't swollen anymore," An'an deliberately turned up the collars of her and her brother's shirts for Xiao Yuge to see.

"Well, it's not big, indeed." Xiao Yuge was also pleased to see them getting along so well.

"Sister Ke'er is here to find her husband, right He'll be out soon. He also said that he will accompany his wife this afternoon, so he gave us a half-day off! Let's go home!" The two children squeezed Xiao Yuge's eyes like adults, then ran away hand in hand.

Xiao Yu Ge watched their backs, smiling and shaking her head. Turning back, she just happened to see Qian Ting Xuan leaning coolly against the door, looking at her with a half-smile, making her face flush. She grumbled, "Hey, what did you tell the children"

"I didn't say anything. They asked me who the beautiful female doctor who came with me was, so I said she was my wife. I didn't lie." Qian Tingxuan still wore an innocent expression.

"Who is your wife! Don't be ignorant!" Xiao Yu Ge turned her head and walked towards the seaside.

"Not now, but it will be in the future!" Qiantingxuan chased after him quickly.

On the beach, villagers from both sides were busy with their own affairs. Since the salt commissioner Deng had died mysteriously, the remaining officials in charge seemed to have become less lazy. The salt official Zhang Qian and the salt transport officer Qin Han almost always appeared on the beach.

To make up for the lost Bai Shi salt, it means that the villagers of both villages will have to work tirelessly without sleep. However, with such an overload of work, how can the villagers' bodies withstand it

Xiao Yu Ge noticed that many villagers' feet were swollen and pale from long periods of immersion in salt water, and some even had sores. In order to support their families, they could only grit their teeth and persevere, but the foreman's scolding still came from time to time, as if treating them purely as tools.

This place is considered a restricted area, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach. Xiao Yu Ge and Qian Ting Xuan only walked around nearby, afraid of raising suspicion. They didn't dare to go any closer, but each of them had their own thoughts.

"Take me with you tonight!" Xiao Yuge knew he definitely wouldn't take her.or tonight" 。The old innkeeper politely explained. 。 "This..." He Hesitated, "Little junior sister is disguised as a male. If I share a room with her, that person would tear me apart when we get b...
