After sending Rong Zhan off, Gu Qingxue walked around the house and found that Liu Yi and the others were really quick in handling the matter. Not only did they dispose of the bodies, but they also restored the room to its original state. There was not a single trace of blood on the floor.
If it were not for the faint smell of blood in the air, she would have thought that the danger that happened tonight was just her misconception.

These secret guards were well-trained, and they handled the corpses and the scene of the murder so quickly. It was evident that they had handled these matters quite often.
Recalling Rong Zhan’s cold-blooded and merciless manner when he killed just now, Gu Qingxue became even more determined in her heart.
That Young Master was indeed a dangerous person. After the detoxification, she still had to keep a distance from him in order to avoid getting burned.
After Gu Qingxue made sure there were no problems, she heard the little butler’s groaning voice in her mind. She asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
“Master, you’re too bold. Don’t you know how weak you are now?” The little butler was obviously very dissatisfied with Gu Qingxue’s risky behavior tonight.
“I knew this day would come when the Eldest Madam sent someone over. I had to solve the problem as soon as possible so that I wouldn’t be hindered from earning points in the future,” Gu Qingxue said calmly.
“Master, how did you know that the big fish had sent people to follow you?” The little butler asked curiously.
Gu Qingxue smiled mysteriously, “You want to know? I’ll tell you if you give me fifty points.”

The little butler immediately put on a stern face and said seriously, “Please don’t try to gain points maliciously, host!”
“Hmph, you can’t afford it, so you can just be curious.” Gu Qingxue said disapprovingly and ended the conversation with the little butler. She went back to her room to sleep with the three children.
Meanwhile, on the mountain road outside of Dafu Village.
Rong Zhan was sitting in the carriage. His eyes were closed as if he was taking a nap.
The air in the carriage was cold. Liu Yi was kneeling in front of Rong Zhan. He felt extremely pressured, and even his breathing was very careful.
“As a subordinate of the king, you can’t even hide your aura,” Rong Zhan said expressionlessly.
Liu Yi was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. “It’s all my fault. Please punish me, Master! However, I’ve always been very careful. I shouldn’t have been exposed in front of Lady Gu…”
“This woman is definitely not simple. Be careful when you follow her in the future,” Rong Zhan said.
Liu Yi raised his head in surprise and subconsciously asked, “Ah? Your Highness, you still want to keep an eye on her?”
They had already been discovered by the other party, yet they still continued to stare at him shamelessly. That was not too good, right?
Rong Zhan did not answer, but only narrowed his eyes.
Liu Yi was so scared that the hair on his back stood out. He hurriedly said, “Yes, your subordinate will continue to keep an eye on them!”
After Liu Yi left, a shadow guard, Ji Yan, who looked very similar to Liu Yi but was even taller, lifted the curtain of the carriage, he reported, “Master, those bandits have fled into the depths of the mountain range. “There’s a poison formation they set up on the east mountain that they’re occupying. We’re trying to get close. In addition, I found this among the things that the fleeing bandits left behind.”
As Ji Yan spoke, he took out a token that looked like it had been slashed and was still stained with blood.
Rong Zhan glanced at it and saw the word ‘Xing’ written on the token.
Instantly, he thought of a person.
“Xing Danqing has been missing ever since he escaped from prison. It’s not impossible for him to hide in the deep mountains and forests to escape from the pursuit,” Rong Zhan said.
