“No, I must urgently report this news to the guild leader; otherwise, Chen Jiusi will definitely have him schemed against.”
Thinking of this, Zhuzi looked at the somewhat panicked Cuiju. Cuiju said, “Zhuzi.”
“Ah?”
As Zhuzi looked at Cuiju, she said, “Should we tell Guild Leader Nan about this, or perhaps Darugachi, the Hall Master? He has been secretly colluding with the Zoroastrian Sect. If caught, that is an offense punishable by the extermination of nine generations. By then, we, as mere servants, will definitely suffer too. I don’t want to get arrested by the government, Zhuzi, you must help me!”
“Let’s report it to the authorities!”
Cuiju looked at Zhuzi, who responded, “Sister Cuiju, don’t be foolish. As two servants reporting our master, it’s impossible for us to win. No one would believe us.”
“But I heard everything with my own ears! I can testify!”
As Cuiju spoke, Zhuzi responded, “Sister, don’t joke around. Who would believe a maid’s word? Even if we report to Lord Yelu, the Hall Master only needs to claim that you framed him. He could even say that you conspired with the guild leader, Nan Batian, to accuse him, and then he’ll be off the hook, but what about you, Sister Cuiju?”
“So, Sister, don’t be foolish. It’s impossible to win this; just forget all about it. If anything like this happens again, come to me and I’ll help you ponder over it. Don’t ever do anything rash; it could cost you your life.”
“Ah, alright. I’ll listen to you, all of it!”
Cuiju was visibly distraught. Zhuzi, anxious to go back and report the intelligence, then told Cuiju, “Sister, calm down here for a bit, stabilize your emotions before you return. I have to leave now, otherwise, if someone sees us here together for too long, they might get suspicious.”
“Ah, Zhuzi, stay with me a little longer.”
Cuiju pleaded, to which Zhuzi replied, “Sister, I really can’t stay any longer. I have to go.”
Saying this, Zhuzi hurriedly ran off. Such significant news could not wait; he had to inform the guild leader immediately.
Chen Jiusi was truly too devious; he even planted a secret letter implying collusion between Sun Tiechui and the guild leader in Sun Tiechui’s blacksmith furnace. If Darugachi found that, would there be any good outcome?
With that thought, Zhuzi rushed out.
Meanwhile, Cuiju, standing outside, watched Zhuzi fade into the distance. Her gaze slowly returned to calm, no longer showing her previous panic. She had indeed been acting, and quite marvelously at that.
Si Xi then emerged from behind a rockery, followed by several disciples of the White Tiger Hall. Cuiju looked at Si Xi and said, “Lord Si Xi, I didn’t slip up, did I?”
Si Xi smiled and replied, “You did very well, it was hard on you, Miss Cuiju; you can go back to the inner courtyard now.”
“Yes, I shall take my leave!”
Cuiju bowed and then turned to leave. As she walked away, Si Xi looked up at his two disciples and said, “Keep an eye on him, observe his route of conveying the intelligence. Those little outlying rats are really hard to catch.”
“Yes!”
The two disciples immediately responded and then departed. Si Xi’s smile grew, feeling quite satisfied using one piece of intelligence to potentially expose the entire spy network Nan Batian had planted within the White Tiger Hall.
Furthermore, the piece of news would certainly make Nan Batian uncomfortable.
With a pleased chuckle, Si Xi left.

Nan Batian was furious, smashing everything in his study, and then pointing outside, he bellowed, “Find out who kidnapped my wife! If you can’t find her, I’ll slaughter you all, a bunch of trash, trash!”
Listening to Nan Batian’s roars, standing nearby Tang Ziyue and Qin Ying kept their mouths shut, not daring to respond.
Just then, Nan Batian pointed at Tang Ziyue and demanded, “Didn’t you say you sent spies to the White Tiger Hall? Where is the news? Has any come back?”
Tang Ziyue said, “Guild leader, please calm down; we should be hearing news soon.”
Nan Batian retorted, “The spy is trash too, can’t even handle such small news.”
Tang Ziyue stayed silent. Just then, someone rushed in from outside and whispered a few words to Tang Ziyue. Initially, his expression was calm, but suddenly it changed dramatically, “Really?”
The man replied, “Yes, it’s a message from Chang Ghost; there’s no mistake.”
Grinding his teeth, Tang Ziyue said, “Chen Jiusi, you really are insidious.”
After taking a deep breath and waving his hand, he said, “You may leave.”

“Yes.”
The person nodded and immediately retreated. Then, Nan Batian, seeing Tang Ziyue, inquired, “Is there news?”
Tang Ziyue replied, “Yes, there’s good news. The guild leader’s wife wasn’t taken to the White Tiger Hall; it wasn’t Chen Jiusi’s doing!”
“Hmm, it wasn’t him? How is that possible?”
Nan Batian couldn’t understand why he was so fixed on blaming Chen Jiusi. Tang Ziyue explained, “Guild leader, according to the situation, it’s true; it really wasn’t Chen Jiusi.”
“Is that considered good news?”
Nan Batian looked dissatisfied, to which Tang Ziyue argued, “Of course it’s good news. If it wasn’t Chen Jiusi, but someone else, then they must want something. Since they want something, they’ll make demands, and we can still rescue the guild leader’s wife.”
Nan Batian asked, “Besides this good news, is there bad news?”
Nodding, Tang Ziyue replied, “Yes, Chen Jiusi really has colluded with the Zoroastrian Sect and set you up. They left a secret letter indicating your collusion with Sun Tiechui at his blacksmith shop and plan to report it to Lord Yelu!”
“What?”
Nan Batian suddenly jumped up, his face a mix of shock and anger.
