It was Ji Pei's!
The stench was so strong that it made people speechless.
Ji Yunshu endured the stench and silently retreated a few steps. Her mind was in a daze.
She couldn't find a suitable footprint here.
Could it be that the footprint was nothing?
She was just overthinking it!
Su Ziluo ordered everyone to disperse. He glanced at Ji Yunshu and asked, "Did Teacher find anything?"
Ji Yunshu shook her head.
"It seems that Teacher came here in vain."
"Perhaps!" Ji Yunshu replied helplessly. She took a deep breath and cupped her hands towards Su Ziluo. "I'll have to trouble Teacher Su with this matter. This humble one will take her leave first. If there is any progress, I will come back."
Just as she was about to leave, Su Ziluo suddenly called out to her.
"Teacher Ji? No, it should be Miss Ji. "
Ji Yunshu stopped in her tracks.
It was not surprising that he knew she was a woman. With Li Shiyan's mouth, he would naturally say anything.
However, calling her 'Miss Ji' in front of so many people was like handing her a knife and letting her stab herself.
Fortunately, the bystanders couldn't hear him clearly.
Ji Yunshu pursed her lips and asked, "Teacher Su, is there something else?"
She remained calm.
Su Ziluo said, "I just wanted to ask, do you have that tassel on your body?"
'Ah!'
Ji Yunshu's heart skipped a beat and her pupils shrank.
"How do you know about the tassel?"
"Shiyan told me."
"Oh!" She replied in a low voice.
'It seems that Li Shiyan really doesn't hide anything from me!'
Su Ziluo rolled his wheelchair over. He slowly took out an object from his wide sleeve and extended it towards Ji Yunshu.
The small tassel gently swayed on his fingertips.
Yes, that tassel was exactly the same as the one Ji Pei gave her.
"Why do you have this?" Her voice was choked with emotion.
Su Ziluo faintly asked, "Are you familiar with it?"
"This is Ji Pei's!"
"Yes, this is his," Su Ziluo replied.
'Ah!'
At that moment, Ji Yunshu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her mind was in chaos for a moment before it suddenly jolted.
His eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he didn't care about the gaze of the capital governor who had been standing beside him.
She couldn't help but step forward. She raised her hand and reached for the tassel in Su Ziluo's hand, but the moment her fingertips touched the tiny tassel, Su Ziluo instantly withdrew his hand.
Before she could react, Su Ziluo had already tucked the tassel into his sleeve.
"Where did you get this thing?"
"Do you want to know?"
"Yes!"
Su Ziluo chuckled.
He didn't reply to Ji Yunshu.
However, he glanced at the attendant beside him, and the attendant walked over and pushed him away, preparing to leave.
Ji Yunshu quickened her pace and wanted to catch up, but she was stopped by Su Ziluo's men.
"Tell me, where is Ji Pei? Where did you get that tassel in your hand? "
At this moment, she was extremely excited.
He even went a little crazy!
He had lost his mind!
But no matter how hard she asked, Su Ziluo did not respond. Several soldiers carried Su Ziluo away.
The Capital Governor, who was standing to the side, also froze.
'Is this still the Teacher Ji I know?'
He cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Teacher Ji, are you alright?"
'Alright?
How can I be alright?
Can't he see how anxious I am right now? '
Ji Yunshu's eyes were already red. She watched helplessly as Su Ziluo left. She felt as if someone had stabbed a knife into her chest, and the pain was unbearable.
But at least, she knew one thing. "
Su Ziluo and Ji Pei had some sort of relationship.
'So, are they the same person?'
Questions popped up in her mind one after another, leaving her at a loss as to what to do.
She didn't remember how long she stayed in the relay station, nor did she remember how she left.
She was like an empty shell, walking on the street in a daze.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and there were not many people on the street.
Suddenly, a sound came from behind her.
She quivered and turned around. She saw a man in black holding a sword and stabbing it at her.
At that moment, she was no longer afraid of death.
However, she was somewhat depressed. 'Why do I always get assassinated by these men in black? I'm not a threat, so why do they keep targeting me?'
While she was thinking about this, the sword was only a few millimeters away from her face.
But at that moment, the sword was already flicked away by someone.
Shi Zijin came out from the darkness. Her body seemed to emit a vicious and cold aura.
Her aura was not the least bit inferior to that of the man in black.
Ji Yunshu watched as the two Taoist clashed. Shi Zijin's skills were indeed good. Even if her body was thin and small, she was still able to force the tall assassin back.
Even so, Shi Zijin was still able to force the tall assassin to retreat.
It wasn't until Shi Zijin stabbed him with her sword that he was injured and left.
Shi Zijin sheathed the sword in her hand and indifferently walked in front of Ji Yunshu. She coldly asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. What about you?"
"I'm fine!"
Ji Yunshu hadn't finished speaking when she suddenly noticed her arm.
Her clothes had been pierced by the sword and were bleeding. Her originally dark red clothes seemed to have been dyed black.
Ji Yunshu didn't say anything and tore a piece of cloth from her clothes. She wanted to bandage Shi Zijin's wound, but Shi Zijin retreated a few steps.
"You're bleeding!"
"I'm fine."
"Your health is important. Come here."
Ji Yunshu's tone was slightly heavy.
Without waiting for Shi Zijin to refuse, Ji Yunshu pulled her to the side and sat her down. She forcefully tore open Shi Zijin's torn clothes, revealing the flesh that had been pierced.
"It's a little painful. Bear with it."
Shi Zijin didn't seem to care. She even felt that she was being forced.
Since she was a child, she had suffered countless injuries of various sizes. This was just the tip of the iceberg.
After bandaging the wound, Ji Yunshu said, "Don't tell Prince Rong about what happened tonight."
'Huh?'
Shi Zijin tilted her head and looked at her curiously.
"In short, promise me that you won't let him know, okay?"
"You don't want him to worry?"
These were probably the most words Shi Zijin had said to her in the past few days.
Ji Yunshu wasn't afraid that Jing Rong would worry, but …
It was too tiring!
The assassin was either one of Concubine Xiao's men or Jing Yi's men.
Who else could it be?!
But at this moment, she was too lazy to explain. She nodded. "That's right. So, don't tell him, okay?"
Shi Zijin nodded.
Only then did the two slowly return to the Rong estate.
As soon as they reached the door, Shi Zijin immediately jumped onto the roof beam and disappeared without a trace.
