You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?

Flying Fish Guards.

The coroner's office.

When Ying Wuji saw Wu Shuangxu, she was instructing a few female officials in dissecting corpses.

"This liver and gallbladder are necrotic, the blood is stagnant, and the color clearly indicates that it's snake venom. You should look it up in the ancient books yourself. If you still can't figure out what kind of snake venom it is, then pack up and go back to the mountain!"

"This kidney is deficient in energy, and the forehead is blackened. It must have encountered a fox demon. Examine it carefully to see what kind of demonic technique this person was affected by!"

"As for this one, it was smashed with a blunt object. I won't test you on this one. You put it back together. If you can't restore it to its original appearance, you can't eat!"

The female officials were on the verge of tears, no longer daring to be as talkative as before, and burying their heads in their work.

Ying Wuji also heard some news. It was said that Wu Shuangxu had been doing coroner's work before becoming a hundred households. Among all the coroners in the city, only she could accurately identify the symptoms corresponding to all the demonic spells and had a deep understanding of poisons. Only she could put the minced meat back together to its original appearance.

This coroner's work took several years and she had not been promoted.

It was not because she did a bad job, but because the coroner's office was reluctant to let people go.

She was only able to be promoted to a hundred households after her junior sisters left the mountain. She did the same work as other Flying Fish Guards, but she still had to take care of her junior sisters' coroner's training issues, like catching ghosts.

Ying Wuji didn't disturb her and waited quietly on the side.

When Wu Shuangxu finished her guidance, she turned around and walked over. "Young master, is there something you need?"

From last night until now, she had not contacted Ying Wuji and had no intention of taking credit.

Ying Wuji looked around and saw no one, and said with a smile, "Miss has helped me a lot. I came here specifically to thank you. I'm ashamed! I've been short of money lately, and I only brought some roasted duck pastries from the East Market. When I have money later, I will repay Miss's kindness."

"Okay."@@novelbin@@

Wu Shuangxu responded lightly, as if she had already said everything when she was instructing her junior sisters, and now she couldn't say a word.

But she did not refuse, and took the pastries and began to eat them without any regard for the stench of corpses and blood in the air. She looked quite hungry.

After eating a piece of pastry and taking a sip of water, she lifted her slightly messy hair and looked at Ying Wuji. "You didn't just come to thank me. What's the matter?"

Ying Wuji felt a little embarrassed. If she continued to be coy, it would be impolite. So she explained her purpose directly and added, "The Awakening Spirit Talisman is expensive. I'll count the two I borrowed from you before as yours. When I have money, I will repay you tenfold."

Wu Shuangxu thought for a moment, then took out three pieces of talisman paper from her pocket and handed them over. "Here you go!"

"Thank you!"

Ying Wuji couldn't help but ask, "May I ask why Miss is helping me?"Wu Shuangxu frowned, then quickly relaxed. This time, she didn't use "Following Nature to Attain Harmony" to evade the question. "It's true that I want to find out the truth, but I also have my own motives for the young master. However, the young master doesn't have what we want at the moment. When he does, someone will naturally come to talk to him."

Ying Wuji asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that I won't be willing then?"

Wu Shuangxu smiled and said, "The young master will be willing."

Ying Wuji: "..."

These people were after nothing but his identity. Even if he had fallen on hard times, he was still a young master. He just didn't know what they wanted to do.

But he didn't care. In his current situation, it was already good enough that someone was interested in him.

Don't talk to him about drinking poison to quench thirst. Even if he was going to die from poison, he had to quench his thirst first.

When negotiating with people of this strength, he needed to see if they would make things difficult for him.

If they dared to make things difficult for him, he would just freeload.

The consequences of this situation were nothing more than two things: personal threats and self-moral condemnation.

Ying Wuji had no morals, so the consequences were instantly reduced by half. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt no pressure.

He smiled and arched his hand. "Since that's the case, I'll take my leave. Thank you, miss!"

Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the ]"

"Wait!"

Wu Shuangxu stopped him and handed him a note, then said, "No need to see me off!"

Ying Wuji didn't know what she meant. After leaving the Flying Fish Guards, he opened the note and saw only five words: Be careful of my sect!

My sect?

To benefit oneself and others is the philosophy of the Yang Zhu school of Daoism. Ying Wuji had heard of it, but he had never heard of this so-called "my sect."

Could this "my sect" be harmful to me?

Could it be...

He thought of Ji Su. He felt that Ji Su's unusual behavior today was likely related to "my sect."

Later in the evening, he must come back to find out more from Wu Shuangxu. From her behavior just now, it was obvious that she didn't want to mention it in front of others in the Flying Fish Guards.

He shook his head and went straight back to the bookstore. From afar, he could hear them chatting inside.

Bai Zhi's voice was full of surprise. "Are you saying that after Wu Dan left last night, he didn't go back to the embassy, but went back to the high-class brothel?"

A middle-aged man's voice rang out. "What's wrong with that? This person talks about wanting to become a good Mohist, but in reality, he's full of extravagance and debauchery. If he weren't the young master of Wu Kingdom, we would have kicked him out of the Mohist Association a long time ago. He's not really sincere about being a Mohist."

"Nonsense!"

Wu Dan was furious. "I have always been frugal and thrifty in my actions. I have always considered joining the Mohist Association as my blessing!"

The middle-aged man sneered. "I really admire the Mohist Association with you in it!"

"Why are you accusing me?"

"Did you or did you not go to the high-class brothel?"

"I did go, but I didn't have any perverted thoughts! The Green Sparrow Lady had just suffered a prison disaster and had no intention of receiving guests. We just drank and chatted with her to ease her fear."The middle-aged man obviously didn't believe it: "So you didn't think about spending the night with her?"

Wu Dan sneered: "I am a gentleman and won't lie to you! I did think about it, but I didn't plan to use money. Instead, I planned to use my sincerity and talent."

"Ah? Sincerity and talent, did it work out in the end?"

"It didn't! This woman didn't know how to appreciate my worth. I won't look for her again in the future!"

"Then what did you do?"

"I wrote her a acrostic poem. Do you want me to recite it for you?"

Creak...

Ying Wuji pushed the door open and walked in: "Don't recite it!"

As his brother, he knew Wu Dan's talent well. It was difficult to explain in a few words. If he embarrassed everyone, they might not be able to discuss anything later.

Wu Dan was a bit dissatisfied: "Brother Wuchi! What do you mean? Don't you trust my acrostic poem?"

Ying Wuji looked at his simple and honest face: "Dan, have you ever thought that...the acrostic might not be a poem?"

Wu Dan: "???"
