Just as Bai Yuan was persuading Jing Ni, Wuming and Wei Wuji were sitting together drinking tea and resting in the pavilion in the backyard of Lord Xinling's mansion.
After Bai Yuan left with Jing Ni, everyone had drunk enough, so the banquet ended quickly. Wu Ming immediately found Wei Wuji and expressed his desire to speak with him alone.
Wei Wuji only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. He had other intentions in inviting the two of them as guests.

Chapter 33 Walk like you've twisted your ankle.
"What would you like to discuss, Mr. Anonymous?"
While pouring him some hangover tea, Wei Wuji asked him a question.
Wuming took the teacup, thanked him, and then said, "Young master, are you aware that there were assassins from the Luowang organization among the dancers today?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Xinling's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.
“Mr. Anonymous, you can’t just say things like that.”
Despite being questioned by Wei Wuji, Wuming remained calm.
“I am not making this up. The dancer that Bai Yuan wants is Jing Ni, the top-ranking assassin of the Luo Wang. She has already tried to assassinate us twice before, and we are absolutely certain of that. We just didn’t expect that she would try to harm you, young master.”
Bai Yuan told him all of this through telepathic communication before leaving, and Bai Yuan also told him about his plan.
After hearing Wuming's words, Wei Wuji still didn't completely believe them. He frowned and asked with great doubt, "If that's the case, why didn't you two say so at the banquet just now?"
"Because we want to make a private deal with you, young master, it wasn't convenient with so many people around."
Wei Wuji narrowed his eyes and gestured for him to proceed.
"Appreciate further details!"
"Now, in the great war between Qin and Wei, the morale of Wei soldiers has been dampened because of the Xuan Jian incident, and they may find it difficult to withstand the Qin army's advance. Although you, my lord, appear to be indulging in wine and women, you still care deeply for Wei. Is that right?"
Wuming first analyzed the current situation and then asked a question in return.
Wei Wuji squinted and nodded slightly.
Indeed, his indulgence in wine and women was merely a helpless act to reassure the King of Wei.
"Wei is currently facing both internal and external troubles. We are powerless to deal with the external troubles, but we can help Wei resolve its internal problems."
"Internal troubles? What's the solution?"
Upon hearing what Wuming said, Wei Wuji began to take it seriously.
"Now, because of Xuan Jian, the people in Daliang City are in a state of panic. Everyone thinks that Xuan Jian is acting according to the mission of Luo Wang, but that is not the case. There is someone else who is in charge of killing people, and he holds a high position in Wei. This is an internal problem!"
The nameless man slowly recounted Xuan Jian's information.
Wei Wuji was so surprised that he could barely hold the cup in his hand.
However, just before the cup was about to shatter, Wuming used his internal energy to catch it and put it back on the table.
He demonstrated his powerful internal energy, which made Wei Wuji's eyes widen, and he believed his words even more.
So he hurriedly asked, "Who is this person?"
"Grand Minister of Works, Wei Yong!"
"Is there any evidence?"
Wei Wuji remained calm after hearing this. Wei Yong was practically second only to the emperor in the state of Wei, making it hard for anyone to believe that he would do such a thing.
Wuming smiled and nodded.
“There is evidence. Xuan Jian and Wei Yong’s daughter, Wei Qianqian, met and fell in love by chance. Wei Yong used Wei Qianqian as a blackmail to order Xuan Jian to deal with ministers who disagreed with him, and then framed the Luo Wang for it. With your abilities, young master, you can find out the truth of this matter with just a little investigation.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Wuji flew into a rage and slammed his fist on the table.
"Damn it! He's already the Grand Minister of Works of Wei, why would he do something like this!"
"Wei Yong appears loyal on the surface, but in reality he is treacherous, cunning, and of low character, lacking in virtue."
Coordination.
When Wuming confirmed this, he was actually quite indignant.
Lord Xinling closed his eyes and took a long time to calm down. At this moment, he was like a lion that had just woken up, majestic and imposing without anger, no longer the person who had been indulging in wine and women.
"Since it's a transaction, what do you want?"
The nameless man smiled and held up three fingers.
"First, Jingni will be dealt with by us, while you, young master, should spread the news that Jingni failed to assassinate you and has been killed."
"Secondly, we hope that you can find out the truth as soon as possible and deal with Wei Yong, but please do not involve his daughter Wei Qianqian, after all, she is also a person with a tragic fate."
"Third, I hope that you will keep today's events a secret and prepare a carriage for us to leave the city. Bai Yuan and I were just passing through Daliang by chance and only wanted to return to Xiaoshengxianzhuang as soon as possible. We don't want to cause too much trouble."
The three requests that Wuming made were actually nothing, and Wei Wuji agreed to them almost without hesitation, except for adding a few conditions.
"What you have said is nothing, but I'm afraid we'll have to wait until I confirm the relationship between Wei Yong and Xuan Jian and capture him before I can send you out of the city."
Wei Wuji said this out of caution; the matter was too important, and he couldn't just listen to Wuming's side of the story.
Now that we have a direction, it won't be difficult to investigate.
Wuming nodded, knowing that this was already the best possible outcome.
"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now!"
After Wuming left, Wei Wuji sat in the pavilion and sighed deeply.
He hoped in his heart that Wuming was lying to him, but he also knew that Wuming had no reason to fabricate such an easily exposed lie.
He had investigated before and found that the two had no prior grudges against Wei Yong, and had no connection whatsoever. He didn't even believe that they were deliberately framing him.
"Somebody come!"
He called out into the shadows, and a masked guard appeared beside him.
"Immediately send someone to investigate Wei Yong. I need to know if he has any connection with Xuan Jian."
"Here!"
The guard acknowledged and immediately left.
That night, Wei Wuji couldn't sleep.
In contrast, Bai Yuan cultivated comfortably for an entire night.
He felt incredibly energetic as soon as he opened his eyes in the morning.
Although there was an assassin sitting next to him, it didn't affect him at all.
Because Wuming stayed in the room next to theirs last night, Jingni didn't dare to do anything even if she wanted to.
She leaned against the other end of the bed, staring blankly at Bai Yuan all night, thinking about many things.
"I didn't expect that you could still calm down and cultivate under these circumstances."
"Doesn't that just prove I trust you?"
Bai Yuan answered directly.
Upon hearing this, Jingni, unusually, did not retort but remained silent.
It's clear that Bai Yuan's persuasion last night was not in vain.
"Alright, you'll have to keep acting with me today, Ningyan."
He smiled at Jingni, emphasizing the last two words.
"Are you so confident that your plan will succeed?"
Jing Ni asked a question calmly.
"Of course, with Lord Xinling as a witness, Luo Wang will believe that Jing Ni is dead. After that, as long as you are careful, you can live as a normal person."
For this plan, he even got the world-renowned Wei Wuji to endorse him.
"So, have you thought it through?"
"Ha, I had no choice, did I?"
Jingni said with a self-deprecating smile.
In fact, her words already reflected her inner thoughts, and perhaps this is a good choice.
Bai Yuan was very satisfied to see that Jing Ni was so sensible.
He thought for a moment and then added, "When you go out later, be careful. Walk as if you've twisted your ankle."
"Why?"
"Please, in other people's eyes, we spent the night together. If you don't react, won't you make me look useless? I don't want people to gossip about me then."

Chapter 34 Congratulations on becoming tools
Before leaving the room, Bai Yuan made a mess of the originally neat and clean room, and there was a dark red bloodstain on the bed.
After he helped Jing Ni out of the room, the maids who were tidying up the room blushed when they saw the scene inside. Their legs trembled as they recalled how Jing Ni had just walked out.
"Mr. Bai Yuan is actually this strong!"
After a night of reflection, Wei Wuji reverted to his demeanor from the banquet the previous day.
Seeing Jing Ni unable to walk, Wei Wuji revealed a teasing expression: "Did Mr. Bai Yuan rest well last night?"
“Very good, very comfortable!”
Bai Yuan smiled and glanced at Jing Ni, revealing a satisfied expression, as if something had really happened last night.
"I'm satisfied!" Wei Wuji nodded and took a contract from one of his men. "This is Miss Ningyan's contract. Please keep it safe, sir."
After accepting the contract, Bai Yuan thanked him and then brought up the matter of returning home.
"We have already troubled you for a long time, so we will not take up any more of your time, young master. Let's get together again next time!"
"Then I'll see you two off."
