Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat, but he still answered calmly, "Sister Bao, what's wrong with you?"
"You are not Baoyu." Xue Baochai stared into his eyes.
Song Qingshu immediately understood that he had indeed shown too many abnormalities during this time. What he did today was like the straw that broke the camel's back, but he already had a countermeasure. He let out a long sigh and said, "Sister Bao, people will eventually change. I have been a captive for so long, and now my family has suffered great changes. Do you think I can still be the same as before?"
Xue Baochai bit her thin lips and said, "But you suddenly began to investigate the case. The change is too big."
Song Qingshu looked gloomy and said, "Sister Bao, do you think the imperial court will still allow the Jia Family to participate in the official career after the great changes in our family? If we can be a talent who specializes in investigating cases like Song Ci, the imperial court will not be worried, and we can protect ourselves. "
Xue Baochai could not help but gently hold his hand and said, "Baoyu, no matter what happens to your family, I … I will not change."
Song Qingshu could not help but sigh when he saw the blush on the young girl's cheeks. He could even faintly see the fine hairs on her cheeks. The shyness and worry between her brows made him think that a young girl's youthful aura was something that women rarely had.
"But …" Unexpectedly, Xue Baochai suddenly grasped his wrist and stared into his eyes. "I have already sent someone to Song Ci to verify your relationship. If I find out that you are lying to me, I will not spare you."
A second ago, she was still a bashful young lady, and the next second, she became a secret agent of the Imperial City Department full of dark aura. Song Qingshu was stunned.
"Why would I lie to you? Just go and investigate." Song Qingshu looked relaxed, but he secretly complained. It seemed that he could not hide it for long.
Sensing that there was no change in his pulse, Xue Baochai was relieved. She hurriedly let go of his hand and said bashfully, "Baoyu, don't blame me for being cautious. I think you don't want someone to pretend to be you and … take advantage of me."
"Of course." Song Qingshu felt a headache coming on. He thought that a woman's sixth sense was too terrifying. It was hard to hide it from a woman, and even harder to hide it from a woman who already had a lover.
"Ahem, what are you two doing?" The yellow-robed woman walked over and looked at the two suspiciously.
Xue Baochai blushed and hurriedly distanced herself from Song Qingshu. "Nothing."
The yellow-robed woman looked at her as if she was deceiving herself and said, "I'm going back to the hostel. What about you?" Although the son of a powerful minister died here, in her opinion, it was just a person from a small country at the border who died. The suspects were the Qing Kingdom or the Koreans, so naturally, she was not interested in these details.
"Wait, I'll go with you." Xue Baochai hurriedly chased after him. At the same time, she was a little annoyed at herself for being so impulsive and saying those things to him.
"I hope you won't disappoint me." Xue Baochai looked back at him, and her eyes became a little deep.
Following that, Song Qingshu and Yelu Nanxian continued to question the Goryeo people, but they still didn't get any results. Helpless, they could only leave for the time being.
On the way, Yelu Nanxian asked, "Do you have any leads?"
Song Qingshu shook his head. "Everyone is a suspect, but there's no concrete evidence."
"Why don't we just ignore it? We've already cleared the suspicion of the Qing Kingdom, the rest is Goryeo's own business. Goryeo is just a small border country, they won't be able to cause any trouble." Yelu Nanxian suggested.
"Xian 'er, after staying here for a while, you've also become two-faced." Song Qingshu couldn't help but tease her. Then, with a serious expression, he said, "It's not that we can't do this, but I keep feeling that there's a big conspiracy behind this. If we don't solve it soon, I'm afraid we'll be in danger in the end."
"With your level of cultivation, if you have this feeling, then it's possible. Then we really can't just ignore it." As a martial artist, Yelu Nanxian understood this feeling very well. "But what should we do next?"
Song Qingshu stopped walking. "Just now, they were gathered together, we couldn't get any leads even if we wanted to. When they split up, we'll take them down one by one."
"Then who should we start with?" Yelu Nanxian asked curiously.
"The Fu sisters." Song Qingshu answered.
"Are you sure it's not because they're pretty?" Yelu Nanxian looked at him suspiciously.
Song Qingshu was speechless. Looks like his reputation had been made, it would be hard to clear it in a short time. "It's just because they're the least likely culprits."
"Is that so?" Yelu Nanxian had a faint smile on her face, purposely dragging her words.
Song Qingshu's face heated up. Under her teasing gaze, he quickly ran away.
When he was near the Goryeo embassy, he saw the beautiful figure of a woman in white standing by the river, looking into the distance. If it wasn't Fu Junyi, who could it be?
"She doesn't have single eyelids, is she really from Goryeo?" Song Qingshu couldn't help but complain as he recalled the Korean dramas he watched in his past life.
"Who?" Fu Junyi suddenly turned around. Her beautiful eyes were as sharp as a sword that was about to be unsheathed.
"It's me, it's me." Song Qingshu shrugged, indicating that he didn't mean any harm.
Fu Junyi looked away and continued to stare into the distance.
"Miss, what are you thinking about?" Looking at the side of her face, it was as if a brush had been drawn in one go. She was indeed a rare beauty. Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel a little better.
But the reply he got was two cold words. "It's none of your business."
Ice beauty?
Song Qingshu wasn't surprised. After standing with her for a while, he asked, "Who do you think the murderer of Young Master Cui is?"
"You're in charge of the investigation, this is your business." Fu Junyi didn't even bat an eyelid.
Song Qingshu knew that she was guarding against him. He probably wouldn't be able to get anything out of her, so he didn't insist. "Miss, continue watching. I'll go ask the others."
This time, it was Fu Junyi's turn to be surprised. She thought that her attitude would make this spoiled brat angry. Who would have thought that he wouldn't feel humiliated at all?
Of course, she was only a little surprised, but she didn't take it to heart.
Song QingShu's ears twitched slightly. Suddenly, he heard the indistinct sound of swordplay in the air. Following the sound, he walked for about a hundred feet and just happened to see a young girl in white practicing her swordplay in the bamboo forest. The fluttering bamboo leaves in the air seemed to have become the best decoration for the young girl in midair, making her figure look even more alluring.
"Miss, good swordsmanship!" Song QingShu could not help but clap his hands. Even with his attainments in swordsmanship, he had to admit that this was a rather exquisite set of swordsmanship. However, his gaze still subconsciously fell on the girl's waist. Just now, when she turned and twisted a few times in mid-air, the flexibility of her waist was really too good.
