"Waaaah... Master, your humble servant has arrived!"

In a flash, Waaaaa appeared before her, raised her hands in a fist salute, and cried out in frustration.

"How long will Master leave me with that person? I haven't seen Master for hours!"

"Didn't you see that?"

Yin Liuli curled her lips slightly and asked calmly, "Gu Jinyan has returned to the manor? How is he?"

"I went back and had a huge fight with that spoiled princess. I almost made that old hag die of anger!"

Waaaa raised her eyebrows smugly and said, "But that old hag cried and made a scene, so he still couldn't win. Instead, she locked him in the room and wouldn't let him out."

Yin Liuli frowned. "He's been locked up? I wanted you to pass on a message for me; I need to speak with him."

Wow, she made no attempt to hide the disdain on her face.

"What business does the master have with him?"

Yin Liuli smiled, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked it,

"Wow, we've been master and servant under contract for several years now. What would you do if a celestial calamity were to descend upon us?"

"Clang!"

With a thud, he slammed his long sword into the ground, then patted his chest.

"This humble general will naturally live and die with his master!"

Yin Liuli let out a long sigh. "That's a heavenly tribulation! If I'm not strong enough to withstand the heavenly lightning, you'll be reduced to dust along with me, your souls scattered, never to be reincarnated."

"Then let us not be reborn! Whenever the heavenly tribulation comes, I'll take a bolt of lightning for my master!"

He snorted through his nose and said frankly, "What's so great about being anything? Being a vengeful ghost is even more boring! I've already lived my life, and I have nothing left to be nostalgic about!"

When he was alive, he was a majestic and awe-inspiring general, admired by all.

At that time, he was young and ambitious, and he was eager to make a name for himself. He didn't care about anything except fighting.

After becoming a ghost, because he was betrayed by his brother and died with a mouthful of resentment stuck in his throat, he turned into a vengeful ghost and wandered the human world.

He talked about eating people countless times, but he never actually ate a single one.

He was just amused by the villagers' fear of him; it was incredibly boring.

But ever since he was subdued by Yin Liuli, he willingly signed a contract to become her ghost servant, and his thoughts have changed as he follows her.

A feeling of beauty he had never experienced before appeared in his mind, and Yin Liuli was the center of this beauty.

If there were no heavenly tribulation, he would accompany his master on this journey through the world and grow old with her.

If heavenly calamity comes, he will live and die with his master.

……

Looking at that righteous and indignant face, Yin Liuli burst out laughing.

"My lightning strikes are not for you to withstand, and you can't withstand them anyway."

Even so, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"I know, isn't Gu Jinyan the one who's destined to take the blame for you?"

Wow...that kid's got such good luck!

"What?"

Yin Liuli didn't hear his last muttered sentence clearly, and casually asked, "Hey, what are you muttering?"

"No, nothing... Oh dear, Master, he's trapped in the room by that old hag, and he probably won't be able to get out anytime soon."

He hurriedly tried to cover himself up, then said, "Should I smuggle him out so he can meet the master?"

Yin Liuli shook her head, pondered for a moment, and then said softly,

"It's alright, you can go back now. Oh dear, I suspect that Gu Jinyan's falling into the water was not a coincidence. Princess Chengyi was misled and thought that my fate was to bring misfortune to Gu Jinyan, so she made things difficult for me everywhere."

This series of events suggests that someone is pulling strings behind the scenes, and I suspect it's Wuyazi's doing.

Waaaa's brow furrowed, "What does Master want Waaaa to do?!"

Yin Liuli gave the instructions.

"If it was Wuyazi who made the move, he should have left a trace. Go and investigate."

Furthermore, it is also necessary to investigate which members of my household have recently had contact with people from the Princess's residence.

"Yes, sir! Your humble servant obeys!"

With a clasp of his hands, he turned and disappeared from Yin Liuli's sight.

Gu Jinyan was locked in a room?

Yin Liuli smiled, feeling that there was something she wanted to say to him, so she instructed Yin Mei beside her, "Mei, grind the powder for me."

"Does Miss wish to write a letter to the young master?"

Yin Mei took out paper and pen, then pulled out a sheet of Xuan paper and held it out in front of Yin Liuli, saying softly,

"The princess's residence isn't far away, so why don't I go and invite the young master to come and see the young lady?"

She was unaware of Wa Ya Ya's existence, and naturally, she didn't know that Gu Jin Yan had been imprisoned.

Yin Liuli had been talking to Wa Ya Ya in her mind the whole time, so Yin Mei and the others couldn't see her at all. They just stared at their young lady sitting there blankly, as if she was deep in thought.

A smile would occasionally appear on his slightly tired face.

"No need to trouble you, I have my own ideas."

Yin Liuli shook her head, gently pinched the loose hairs on the tip of the brush, and wrote a few words on the rice paper.

Yin Mei was still waiting for her to write the previous piece, but unexpectedly she picked up the sheet of Xuan paper with only a few words written on it.

With a few deft folds of her slender fingers, a delicate paper crane appeared before her eyes.

"What skillful hands you have, Miss!"

Yin Mei exclaimed in delight, and couldn't help but say, "Is this a waste? If Miss doesn't want it, please give this paper crane to me!"

"I grew up in the secret guard bureau, spending my days wielding swords and spears; I've never learned such delicate feats!"

Yin Liuli smiled and said,

"If you like this, I'll fold some more for you to play with."

This won't do; it needs to be useful.

Yin Mei asked curiously, "If you fold it into a crane shape, what's the point?"

"Its name is Crane Messenger...it is my messenger."

Yin Liuli smiled faintly and drew a talisman in her palm.

With a flick of the fingers, a flash of inspiration appeared between the fingers and flew into the paper crane.

Yin Liuli urged with her mind, "Use paper as the medium, and a crane as the messenger, to deliver my letter. There must be no mistakes! So be it!"

Instantly, the paper crane emitted a dazzling light.

Yin Mei felt her vision was blurry, and she seemed to see the paper crane on the table move slightly.

She quickly rubbed her eyes and saw the paper crane slowly flapping its wings, as if it were about to take off.

Yin Liuli took a vermilion pen and gently dotted two small dots on the pointed head of the crane to make eyes.

In an instant, the crane raised its head.

After flapping its wings a few more times, it leaped off the table and hovered in front of Yin Liuli.

If it weren't for the folded marks on the paper, it would be incredibly lifelike.

Yin Mei stared wide-eyed in astonishment, covering her mouth in disbelief.

"My God! Miss, I can't believe my eyes, it... it's alive!"

"It was imbued with spiritual power by the talisman and became my messenger."

Yin Liuli gave a brief explanation, then raised her slender, white fingers and gently stroked the head of the paper crane twice.

"Go to the Princess's residence and find Gu Jinyan. Bring back his reply for me."

"grid……"

A faint cry of a crane brushed past her ear. Paper Crane nodded to Yin Liuli, spread its wings, and flew out the window.
