"No matter what, don't be curious. Curiosity can kill," Master Xu emphasized again.
"Got it," Magistrate Xu grumbled.
After Gu Qingli and Xiao Yunjing arrived at the inn, Wuqing first had the waiter bring them food. Both were extremely tired after eating, so they decided to take a nap.
When they woke up, night had already fallen.
After Xiao Yunjing stepped out, Gu Qingli got up and called for Wuqing.
"Miss."
"Sit." Gu Qingli, already cross-legged on the bed, gestured to a nearby stool.
"Yes." Wuqing sat down.
"Tell me about your investigation in the Capital City." She could tell that Xiao Yunjing seemed reluctant to discuss it with her, so she would have Wuqing explain.
Wuqing paused for a moment before saying, "Miss, my investigation revealed that the one who placed the order with the Secret Sect was Li Huan'er—she is your mother, Ms. Wu's, daughter in the Capital City."
"Oh? It was really her?" Gu Qingli chuckled, dumbfounded.
