Chapter 428: Chapter 428: She Offers a High Reward for Your Life, Master
Qi Yue was quite startled by his line of logic and was about to laugh.
“So you mean to say that I should just hide away and do nothing? Then why did I bother coming here?”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tai paused, about to speak, but Zhao Chong interrupted him.
“Zhao Tai, you’re becoming bold, daring to question the master. Can’t you see? The master was intentionally living outside earlier.”
Qi Yue turned to look at Zhao Chong and smiled.
“Getting smarter! Promising.”
Zhao Chong touched his head, somewhat embarrassed, “Actually, we subordinates are quite sharp-minded, it’s just that your pace is too fast, master, and sometimes we can’t keep up.”
“Saying you’ve made progress isn’t wrong, you indeed have become better at speaking. Hahaha…”
“Thank you for the praise, master.”
Zhao Chong was right.
Previously staying in the inn, she indeed did it a bit intentionally.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so conspicuous on the streets of Fengdu.
The result now was that the Nanyue Royal Family had taken notice of her, Li Tianyi’s slip had been exposed, leaving space for Shen Gong to notice her presence, and most importantly, she had connected with Liu Zhinan.
For the next few days, she intended to rest properly and prepare to meet with Liu Zhinan.
After delegating the upcoming tasks to Zhao Chong and others, Qi Yue returned to her own courtyard.
Now that Zhao Chong, Qingzhu, and others knew her methods, there was no need to hide anything. As soon as she was in her room, she entered her space.
It was safe and comfortable here, very suitable for her, who lacked maidservants.
Otherwise, she couldn’t stand the daily washing and cleaning.
After cooking several dishes and having her fill, Qi Yue went to the study and picked up the book Liu Zhinan had left behind when he departed.
“Chronicle of the Qiongzhou Continent—what kind of book is this? If it’s a chronicle, why also mention a brief narrative?”
She muttered, but her hand didn’t stop as she naturally checked the author of the book.
In the lower right corner of the book, the author’s name was clearly written—
“Liu Tongzhi? Also a Liu?”
Isn’t that the same surname as Liu Zhinan?
Could it be one of his ancestors?
She hurriedly opened the book to check and found that the book had been written a long time ago, at least several hundred years ago.
That is to say, the person who wrote this book lived on the Qiongzhou Continent back then.
So, were the Liu family also a lineage that survived the mutual killings among the Eight Great Powers and the Twelve Noble Families?
But why did Liu Zhinan want her to read this book and then find him after she had finished?
Could it be that the Qi family had some connection with the Twelve Families and the Eight Great Powers during the era of the Qiongzhou Continent?
The more Qi Yue thought about it, the more curious she became, unable to help herself, she flipped open the book and continued reading.
Previously, Zhao Xiyan had told her about the Qiongzhou Continent, but what she remembered most clearly was his master Huangfu Nan’s parents’ love story.
However, this book seemed more like a historical record of the Qiongzhou Continent era.
The book, organized chronologically, delineated in detail how the Twelve Noble Families and the Eight Great Powers initially lived in harmony, helping each other, but later turned to infighting, leading to their ultimate destruction.
Qi Yue spent two days finishing the book and found nothing relevant to her inside.
Not even content related to Liu Zhinan was found.
“It’s puzzling, how is reading this book related to finding him?”
She muttered, not understanding the connection and simply closed the book and disregarded it.
Considering today was another day Liu Zhinan went to the bookstore, Qi Yue started making plans.
Tomorrow would be old Madam Liu’s eightieth birthday as well as Liu Zhinan’s youngest son’s full-month celebration. She could use this opportunity to enter the Liu Family’s house openly.
Then, she would definitely have a chance to inquire about something or have a deep conversation with Liu Zhinan.
Thus, she decided not to go to the bookstore, especially since today was also the bi-daily day for integrating intelligence, and it was busy!
“Yes, that’s what I’ll do!”
Having made up her mind, Qi Yue quickly tidied up and left the space.
Just as he opened the door of the room, he saw Qingzhu pacing back and forth in the courtyard. Hearing the sound of the door, he instantly turned his head.
“Master, you’ve finally come out!”
“What’s the matter, all flustered? What happened?” Qi Yue flicked the folding fan in his hand and instantly transformed back into a handsome and distinguished young master.
He now somewhat understood why Qu Wei couldn’t let go of the fan once he had picked it up.
This thing, once one gets the hang of it, is genuinely addictive.
“Master, it’s not something very urgent.” Qingzhu quickly walked forward two steps.
“Then why are you so nervous?” Qi Yue spoke slowly, taking the lead towards the drawing room.
Integrating information every two days, he had long been accustomed to it.
Qingzhu slowed his pace, fitting perfectly to the side of Qi Yue.
“Master, it’s like this, after you rested, there was a message from the bookstore that Li Fengshou had been beaten to death.”
“What?” Qi Yue suddenly halted, “What exactly happened?”
Qingzhu hurriedly relayed the information he had gathered, and Qi Yue also felt somewhat uneasy.
Regardless, the death of Li Fengshou was because of her.
Originally, she thought this person was quite astute and also loved money like her, which made her feel a kind of kinship; she had even thought about promoting him.
But unexpectedly, he had been taken out by that deranged crazy woman Wei Yixiao!
“Did you guys go there? Did you confirm it? Did you check if his family has anyone else?”
Qingzhu paused for a moment before carefully responding.
“After receiving the news, Zhao Tai led people to the mass graves, but it was already dark by then, and they didn’t find anyone. They went again the next day to identify, but there was no one… maybe he was taken by wolves…”
At this point, Qingzhu didn’t continue.
Qi Yue’s character was clear in his eyes.
Not only did he treat their guards like his actual brothers, but he was also generous and kindhearted.
Li Fengshou, after all, had helped gather information, and he could not just ignore it.
“Master, perhaps someone took him away. I heard there’s someone called Afa in that bookstore, who grew up with him… Your subordinate will have someone look into it again….”
Qi Yue sighed.
“Alright, when you find him, take care of that Afa.”
“Yes, master.” Qingzhu crisply acknowledged, but his tone soon became worried.
“Master, Wei Yixiao is truly a mad dog, she’s currently searching for you all over the streets! Moreover…”
Seeing Qingzhu hesitate to continue, Qi Yue snorted coldly, “Moreover what? Is there anything I can’t hear?”
“Yes… she’s put a large bounty on your life, Master. Anyone who provides information about you will be richly rewarded. These days, many people have noticed you, so quite a few have received quite substantial rewards…”
Qi Yue ground his teeth.
Why did he suddenly feel like hitting someone?
And his hands were itching!
This Wei Yixiao having so much money should rightly be turned over to his domain!
But he couldn’t, like before, just wave his hands and take a huge amount of treasures.
Although no one saw him when he emptied the treasury of Donggao Imperial City last time, some people still suspected it.
Later, it took a great effort from Zhao Xiyan to suppress this matter.
But it’s uncertain since always some well-connected people in the Martial World might sniff something out.
If he made a move, wouldn’t it just tell the whole world — Qi Yue is in Nanyue, and he’s been up to no good?
Though he didn’t care much about this reputation, becoming an Empress or something in the future might complicate things if rumors got out; it’d be somewhat embarrassing.
Seeing money and not grabbing it is definitely not his style!
Last time in Western Chu, in order to empty Princess Xiyang’s Zhucui Palace, he destroyed a palace.
This time, he definitely couldn’t do the same thing again, could he?!

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
“Qingzhu, do you have any way to do something bad without letting people trace it back to you?”
