My wife is a reborn big boss

Ningzhou is located in the southwest, separated from Jingzhou, where the imperial city is located, by Anzhou.

This place is rainy and humid, and the people are not particularly fierce. On the contrary, due to the changeable climate, the people's health is not very good, and it is normal for them to get colds and fevers from time to time.

Medicine King Valley is located in a valley about 30 miles outside Ningzhou City.

Because the people here are prone to illness, medicine sells well. Furthermore, Ningzhou is right next to Anzhou, so if any emergencies occur, the Xuantian Sect can quickly arrive to handle the situation under the guise of helping fellow cultivators.

However, the reason why Medicine King Valley was built here was not for these reasons. Their purpose in establishing Medicine King Valley here three hundred years ago was for the "Entwined Heart Glazed Stamen" that matures only once every few decades.

But now trouble has arisen.

Inside the valley, in the council hall.

Valley Master Duan Feihong spoke; he was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man who appeared slightly overweight:

"I have received news that Fairy Li is on her way to Ningzhou. Elders, please remember to keep the disciples in the valley in check and prevent them from acting too arrogantly lately."

Seeing that the elders didn't take it seriously, he continued, "Although everyone knows the truth, we still need to do our job properly and not embarrass Fairy Li too much. After all, she is a direct descendant of the Xuantian Sect, and we should give her the respect she deserves. After we see this big shot off, everyone can go back to what they were doing. Alright, everyone, disperse."

"Yes." The elders nodded in agreement and got up to leave, except for Mo Deyan, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, who stayed behind.

After everyone left, he closed the door, sat back down next to the valley master, and whispered, "I received information that they have an inside agent in the valley."

"They" refers to Jishizong.

"I understand," Duan Feihong said calmly.

Seeing that the Valley Master remained calm, Mo Deyan realized that he had already known about this matter. So he remained silent and waited quietly for the Valley Master to continue speaking.

However, a quarter of an hour passed, and the two were still sitting there staring at each other, while the Valley Master's tea cup was empty.

Just as Mo Deyan was about to lose his temper, Duan Feihong put down his teacup.

Mo Deyan's spirits lifted. Could it be that the Valley Master was just thinking about how to find out this mole?

He restrained himself and waited for the Valley Master to speak.

Duan Feihong spoke up as expected: "Old Mo, why haven't you left yet? Don't you understand the proper etiquette of serving tea and seeing guests off? I've already finished my tea!"

"..." Mo Deyan felt like he had suffered internal injuries: "That's it? Valley Master, you have nothing to say about this matter?"

Duan Feihong asked in surprise, "I already said so."

"What did you say?" Mo Deyan asked, bewildered.

"I said, 'I understand.'"

"that's all?"

"Otherwise what?"

Mo Deyan's eyes widened: "Shouldn't you be talking about solutions?"

"I have my own way of handling this," Duan Feihong said calmly. "This matter is not the most important thing right now. The most important thing is how to deal with Li Jianshi."

"Is a little girl that important? She's not the sect leader. The important thing now is to find the traitor!" Mo Deyan was dissatisfied with Duan Feihong's attitude.

"Old Mo, why are you always dwelling on this issue!" Duan Feihong said impatiently. "Is it because you wanted to leave but couldn't, so you want to find this inside man to protect him, as a token of your loyalty?"

"Duan Feihong!" Mo Deyan's expression changed drastically. "Since I stayed, I had already given up on the idea of ​​going there! What, do you think my actions over the years have wronged the valley?"

"Calm down, calm down." Duan Feihong said with a smile, "Old Mo, I've seen all the hard work you've done over the years. I know you're doing this for the good of the valley, which is why you want to find this traitor. But it's not that simple."

He picked up his teacup to take a sip, but found it was empty. He had no choice but to put it down and continue:

"Although Li Jianshi is just a young girl, she is quite powerful, and since she has entered the mortal world, she represents the Xuantian Sect. We should treat her as the Xuantian Sect's spokesperson."

"What about the traitor?" Duan Feihong offered a way out, and Mo Deyan naturally followed suit, after all, the other party was the Valley Master.

"I have a way to deal with this, so don't worry." Duan Feihong picked up the teacup that was now empty again.

Mo Deyan realized that he was being polite and asked to leave, so he stood up and said, "Since you have a plan, Valley Master, I am relieved. I still have matters to attend to in the Criminal Division, so I will take my leave."

"Old Mo," Duan Feihong called out to Mo Deyan, who was walking to the door, "Please inform the elders to come here at 15:00 in the afternoon. I have something to discuss with them then."

"Understood." Mo Deyan nodded and left.

Duan Feihong watched the direction he left, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

At the same time, inside Ningzhou City.

After traveling non-stop, Li Jianshi has arrived in Ningzhou.

The days of travel and worry about Wu Qiong had left her physically and mentally exhausted. Therefore, she planned to stay in the city for the night and then head to Medicine King Valley tomorrow.

But after searching several inns, the owners all said they had no rooms available.

After inquiring, she learned that the famous courtesan Bu Yuru was going to perform at Langhuan Pavilion, the largest brothel in Ningzhou City, in a few days. As a result, many people from other places had come to visit her, and all the inns were fully booked.

Helpless, Li Jianshi had no choice but to go out and find another inn.

After checking out several other fully booked guesthouses, she stopped in front of the Laifu Guesthouse.

Laifu Inn, though its name sounds common, is the largest, most upscale, and most expensive inn in Ningzhou City. This is because it ranks highly on the official star-rated inn list and is the only five-star inn in Ningzhou City.

As soon as Li Jianshi stepped into the inn, the waiter came to greet him.

The waiter was tall and handsome with a sunny disposition. Although he was only at the Body Tempering Realm, he was still considered to have mastered martial arts.

He was deeply impressed by Li Jianshi's beauty, but he didn't show it. Instead, he smiled and displayed his professional demeanor: "Are you here for a meal or to stay the night, sir?"

"I'll stay at a hotel," Li Jianshi replied quickly; all she wanted to do now was get some rest.

The waiter was perceptive; seeing her tired expression, he didn't waste any more words: "Perfect timing! We have just one last superior room (甲字上室) left. Would you like to check in, young lady?"

Just as Li Jianshi was about to agree, a calm female voice came from behind him: "Waiter, I need a room."

Upon hearing the voice, Li Jianshi slowly turned around, gritting her teeth as she said, "Su Mubai!"
