The burning flame of the lantern was extinguished in the heavy snow.

Zhong Jiuchou's figure also disappeared in the overwhelming snowflakes.

This was the first time she had quarreled with him. It wasn't really a quarrel, because she was the one accusing and complaining about him making arbitrary decisions, and in the end Jiuchou remained silent except for asking for peace.

Looking at the series of lonely footprints he left behind, Ran Shaotang felt disturbed.

She later realized that her attitude was a bit bad.

However, facing the coming danger, she had to make up her mind to let Zhong Jiuchou know that her plan would not allow others to interfere.

There was a mess in her heart that became more and more confusing, so she simply closed the window and kept her eyes out of sight.

After sitting guarding a table of cold dishes and rice for an unknown amount of time, Hua Guan and Qin Xiaoyue both squeezed in from the door.

The two of them glared at each other like a cockfight, and Hua Guan was the first to show concern: "Oh, young lady, why haven't you eaten anything? You've been hungry all day, and that's not good. How can you do anything important if your body is so hungry?"

Ran Shaotang raised his eyebrows and glanced at her and said casually: "Then why don't you hurry up and give me your daughter-in-law, and then prepare a new table of hot rice and hot dishes."

Hua Guan still wanted to express her feelings, but was immediately choked by these words.

Qin Xiaoyue looked at her provocatively: I want you to go out. Master has something to say to me, but you can't listen.

Hua Guan completely understood all the metaphors in Qin Xiaoyue's glance, but she couldn't refute it.

The days ahead are long, let’s wait and see.

She stared back without showing any signs of weakness, responded and left the room to help Ran Shaotang get some food.

Only then did Ran Shaotang really look at Qin Xiaoyue: "Do you know what's wrong?"

Qin Xiaoyue knew that she had concealed the fact that her master had been replaced.

Although the starting point is for the good of the master, as the leader of the hall who collects information, he is incompetent.

The previous shirk of the responsibility to Young Master Zhong was done in accordance with his arrangements. She knew that the master would not really hate her for this matter, but she still felt sorry in her heart and hurriedly knelt down to apologize again.

"Master, you are too young to be the master of the spy club."

Ran Shaotang did not let her get up this time, but stared at her for a long time.

Should I give this child Xiaoyue another chance?

Under Ran Shaotang's gaze, Qin Xiaoyue's heart was wandering, and she was in a state of confusion, as if she was standing on the cliff of deciding her fate. If she retreated, she would advance, or her body would be shattered.

It seemed like a long time before I heard Ran Shaotang's voice again: "Since you feel that you are lacking in ability, you should first remove this burden and let someone who is capable do it."

Qin Xiaoyue prostrated on the ground and shed tears silently: "Yes. I will obey the master's arrangements."

She knew she couldn't hide this from her master, but she didn't regret it.

"Can the little one still serve the master? Like before in Kunshan?"

She just wants to follow her master all the time.

Ran Shaotang closed his eyes and sighed: "No."

"Master, please keep the little one." Qin Xiaoyue knelt forward and hugged Ran Shaotang's knees, crying and pleading.

"Who will do the work for me if I leave you?"

Qin Xiaoyue stopped crying and looked up at Ran Shaotang expectantly: "Master is not angry with me anymore?"

"I'll give you a chance to make amends for your past mistakes. The Nanyun Domestic Security Organization is an espionage organization that has been operating for many years. You can find a way to sneak in and learn how they collect information. Be loyal to your master."

After Qin Xiaoyue heard the last sentence, her glowing eyes dimmed again, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

Ran Shaotang patted her shoulder: "The most important thing is to use the internal security organization to help me find the dream divination I asked you to check last time. When the matter is completed, the hall master will still be yours. If not, he will always be there.

Hidden until found."

She will not give up until she achieves her goal this time.
