Upon hearing that it was Yin Liuli, Yin Jingtang felt a surge of hatred that made his teeth itch.

He was dismissed by the emperor and confined to his residence to reflect on his actions, while this girl is enjoying immense prestige outside!

Everyone who came to her door was there to see her, and she received a constant stream of gifts.

Yin Jingtang smiled ingratiatingly and said in a sarcastic tone,

"Yes, yes, my daughter just returned from a banquet at the palace and was highly praised by Her Majesty the Empress."

Not only did they receive many precious rewards, but they also returned in the Empress's carriage.

Looking across the entire capital, who else could receive such an honor?

He had intended to humble himself and visit Feng Qiwu, to say some nice things to the mother and son, but he didn't even get to step inside!

The prime minister frowned slightly and impatiently interrupted him.

"Please summon the female assistant envoy and tell her that this old man has come to visit."

Before she could finish speaking, Yin Liuli strode over unhurriedly, stepped forward, and gave a slight bow.

"Yin Liuli greets Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

The prime minister raised his hand in a gesture of support, his dignified face displaying a complex expression.

"No need for formalities. You..."

He hesitated, looking at Yin Liuli with a hint of doubt.

Yin Liuli glanced at him with her clear, bright eyes. Sure enough, his divination result matched the Plum Blossom Divination she had just performed. She then spoke.

"Is anyone missing from your household, sir? A woman, a close relative."

A flicker of surprise crossed the prime minister's somber eyes as he turned to look at Zhou Qinggong.

"Master Qing, did you discuss the true nature of this body with her beforehand?"

Zhou Qinggong smiled helplessly.

"Upon receiving the news, this disciple immediately set off for my master's residence; how could I possibly have time to relay a message to the Assistant Envoy?"

Yin Liuli said calmly,

"My lord, there is no need to doubt. Upon hearing of your arrival, Liuli casually cast a divination and learned that there are missing family members in your household."

The prime minister's eyes reddened without him realizing it, and he pressed for more information.

"Can you figure it out? Where is the Prime Minister's granddaughter? Is she in any danger?"

She...she's still alive!

Yin Liuli said calmly,

"Could you have brought her everyday items, or tell me her birth date and time?"

"We need to perform calculations to determine her condition."

"Then I will have to trouble you, Miss Assistant! If you can find my granddaughter, I will reward you handsomely!"

Without hesitation, the prime minister recited a string of birth dates, his face showing excitement.

"Qingtang attended the Empress's lotus appreciation banquet, and after returning from the palace, she disappeared without a trace!"

Her carriage was found abandoned in the woods outside the city, but she herself had disappeared.

The attendants, maids, and nannies all lay on the ground, and when I questioned them, none of them remembered what had happened!

Zhou Qinggong also said,

"My master mobilized all his servants and even sent out government officials, but after searching for more than two hours, he still couldn't find a single clue."

"Liuli, we are truly desperate, that's why we've come to ask for your help."

I will try my best.

Yin Liuli raised her slender fingers, her thumb rapidly calculating at the knuckles for a moment, then unconsciously frowned.

"Miss Shen, there is no trace of her."

As she calculated this hexagram, she also summoned Wa Ya Ya with her mind and ordered him to investigate immediately.

"What?!"

The prime minister's face darkened, and a hint of anger crept into his otherwise imposing aura.

"What do you mean by that, Female Envoy? How could my Tang'er, a perfectly healthy person, have vanished without a trace?"

"You...you can't find her, and you still have to curse her like that!"

Yin Liuli looked at him calmly.

"If you don't believe me, then please find someone else."

"What did you say? How dare you!"

The prime minister, enraged, retorted, "If you can't find it, you think you can just kick me out? Not so easy!"

"My dear teacher, please calm down! Please calm down!"

Zhou Qinggong was startled and quickly stepped forward to stop him and comfort him, "Miss Liuli said there was no trace to be found, perhaps, perhaps..."

He didn't know how to explain it.

When the prime minister learned that his granddaughter had gone missing, he was so furious that he flew into a rage in his residence, and no one dared to utter a sound.

The master's wife cried herself unconscious, lying on the bed still murmuring Shen Qingtang's name.

Shen Qingtang was raised by the elderly couple from a young age and was their precious granddaughter.

Zhou Qinggong knew the importance of the matter.

With both the government and the Court of Judicial Review mobilized, and more than two hours had passed without finding the person, things were probably not going well.

His mentor had never believed in ghosts or gods, and not wanting his mentor to worry himself sick, he reluctantly recommended Yin Liuli to his mentor.

Zhou Qinggong used his own experience as an example, and also cited the story of Yin Liuli defeating the demonic cultivators and rescuing the child, which finally persuaded his mentor.

To everyone's surprise, Yin Liuli delivered a blow to the head, saying, "There is no trace to be found."

My teacher was already extremely anxious, so it's no wonder he got angry!

"The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits; this is a fundamental error, and we should not have believed you in the first place!"

The prime minister angrily flung down his sleeves, his voice icy cold, "Lord Qing, is this the one you recommended? What talk of superior Taoist skills, what omnipotence? Utter nonsense!"

Yin Liuli watched him rage silently, then suddenly appeared in a flash.

"Oh dear... Master, this humble general can't find anything either!"

If you can't find it either, things get even more interesting.

Yin Liuli said loudly to the Prime Minister,

"If you wish to find your granddaughter, please be patient and listen to my explanation."

The prime minister glared at her angrily.

"What else do you have to say!"

"Liuli was also separated from her mother at a young age, and the longing she felt for her mother for twelve years was a kind of suffering that ordinary people could not understand."

Therefore, Ruri understands the pain of losing one's family, and I can forgive the lord's anger.

Yin Liuli's cold eyes remained calm as she said in a chilling voice, "This is the only time. If you reprimand me after I finish speaking, then please do as you see fit."

Seeing that there was still room for maneuver, Zhou Qinggong hurriedly offered his advice.

"Master, please listen to Miss Liuli! She must have another way to say that!"

Otherwise, even if we go back, it wouldn't be too late to send more people to search for Miss Qingtang, would it?"

The prime minister's face darkened, and he barely suppressed his anger before speaking loudly,

"It was my rashness! I spoke carelessly in my haste and was disrespectful to the female envoy. I hope the female envoy will forgive me."

After saying this, he put his hands together in a gesture of respect and bowed deeply to Yin Liuli.

For some reason, he was deeply shocked by Yin Liuli's composure under immense pressure.

As the prime minister of the court, second only to the emperor, countless officials of the court were cautious in their words and deeds in his presence and dared not speak recklessly.

Not to mention getting angry, sometimes just one look from him is enough to make people kneel down and beg for forgiveness.

Not only was Yin Liuli unafraid, but she also spoke to him calmly and unhurriedly.

The prime minister developed a strange sense of trust in this teenage girl.

Yin Liuli raised her hand to help him up.

"I accept your kind gesture, sir. I will do everything in my power to find your child."

The prime minister's voice trembled slightly with a sob.

"I beg your assistance, female envoy!"

Yin Liuli frowned slightly and pondered for a moment,

"It is impossible for a person to disappear without a trace in this world. People are born with vitality and die with a soul."

I can't deduce anything from her birth date; there's only one explanation: Miss Shen is likely imprisoned within a protective barrier.

"A barrier?"

The prime minister and Duke Qing of Zhou looked at each other in bewilderment.
