Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"Eagle Flying Wolf Head Knife?!" Yingba remembered that this knife should be in the hands of the emperor, how come... "Did you steal it?"

"Bah, can't I just get it fair and square?"

"Of course, of course..." Yingba said this, but he was muttering in his heart. The emperor had risked his life to buy this knife. If it was found to be missing, there would definitely be another big fuss. It would be better to take his master away from the place of trouble as soon as possible.

"I'm giving you this knife. Leave here immediately. Remember not to use it too ostentatiously, or you'll get yourself killed."

"You can't be too ostentatious... But what are you going to do?" Yingba stroked the scabbard. There were some brown things stuck in the twists and turns of the patterns. He didn't know how much blood of the predecessors had stained them. He felt murderous intent to the touch, which made him feel full of strength.

"I will naturally continue to live here, so you don't have to worry about me. And I didn't steal this thing. Lu Anyuan knew that I gave it to you, so whether it is to prevent him from hunting you down or to really let you go free, you should leave Jiangnan as soon as possible."

"What!" Yingba looked up suddenly, and then suddenly realized that this trick of disaster Dongyin was really good. Now he had to leave Jiangnan for refuge. Even Yingyi was afraid that he would be unable to stop him. "Why do you do this..."

"You guys haven't been yourself for too long. I'm helping you. When you get used to the free life outside, you won't foolishly follow a master like me who only cares about comfort. Then you'll know what you really want."

After Xu Yixing finished speaking, he took a piece of pork belly on the table. It was fat and lean, and looked very good. "I'm leaving now. By the way, if you haven't left by tomorrow morning, I'll spread the word and have someone chase you. I know you have the ability to protect yourself, and maybe you can make a name for yourself. The world is so big, just go and enjoy yourself~"

Yingba stared at her back as she disappeared in front of the meat stall, his eyes filled with astonishment. He had never thought that he would be sent away in this way, but the knife in front of him was real. This... The master was so determined!

After being in a daze for a long time, he left a mark belonging to the shadow guard on the back of the chopping board of his stall. While it was still early, he packed his luggage and left the city quickly.

Carrying the pork belly, Xu Yixing headed towards the dilapidated temple in the city. It used to be a gathering place for a group of beggars, but now everyone was begging on the street during the day, leaving only one person lying under the statue with a stinking smell.

Xu Yixing placed the meat in the broken bowl in front of him. Such a big piece of meat curled up in the small broken bowl looked a bit funny.

The beggar opened his eyes, crossed his legs and sat up. "My master is here, are you here to chase me away?"

"Dismiss, dismiss." Xu Yixing corrected him. She didn't understand why everyone felt that she was driving them away when she had already given them enough money?

"I don't think I've made any mistakes."

"Of course, otherwise why would I keep you by my side forever. But Yingjiu, you should always think about yourself when you are alive. Have you ever thought about what your wish is?"

Ying Jiu was not as stubborn as Ying Ba. He only needed to think for a moment to know that since his master could send Ying Si away, even if he stayed here, he would be sent away sooner or later. Rather than being kicked out of the Shadow Guard, it would be better to leave on his own and still have dignity.

"Master, I think I would like to be a hermit."

"Just like Shen Yue before?"

"Hmph." Ying Jiu snorted disdainfully: "What kind of hermit is he? Even if he ran to the mountains, he is just seeking fame and reputation. I despise him."

"Well, in my opinion, there are many famous mountains in the world, but there is a saying that where my heart is is my hometown, no matter which mountain it is, or even if it is a mountain. Isn't it said that a great hermit can hide in the city? Just think about it yourself."

"Okay." Ying Jiu changed his posture, kowtowed three times respectfully, then walked out of the dilapidated temple with a big laugh and floated away. Xu Yixing felt that he was not worthy of his great courtesy, so he had already turned aside and barely avoided it. Now that he saw that his mind was relieved, he was really happy for him.

Ying Yi is the last shadow guard Xu Yixing found in Jiangnan. Except for Ying Wu who is missing, the rest are either lying or coaxing, or they really want to leave. Now, only Ying Yi is still here.

Seeing Xu Yixing coming in, Ying Yi was not surprised at all. He had heard about the Shadow Guards leaving one after another these days, and he thought it was the master's handiwork. He could not do anything about others, but he himself was definitely not a weak-willed person.

"You're here? Please take a seat."

Xu Yixing glared at the small shabby house. It was just like the one in the capital, also on the mountain. He almost died from climbing so hard.

"Your place is really hard to find!" Xu Yixing picked up the water in the teapot and drank it all, which quenched his thirst. Jiangnan is good everywhere, but the summer weather is terribly hot. My clothes are soaked from the inside out, which is really annoying.

"It's cool in the mountains, and Master can calm down and cool his head."

"Do you think I was hot-headed and sent you all away?"

"Maybe not. It's just that if we all leave at once, I'm afraid the master will be unable to help. So my subordinates staying here will neither disturb your life nor leave you too isolated and helpless." Ying Yi thought about this retreat and advance statement many times in his mind, and it should be correct.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yixing did not respond to his words. He just looked around the residence silently. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he said seriously with a gloomy face: "I know that you have been blaming yourself for your sister's death. As a shadow guard, you first had no chance to protect Madam Bai, and then your sister died without knowing it. You must feel very guilty and feel sorry for the Bai family, so you are so responsible for me."

Xu Yixing glanced at Ying Yi's face, but his expression did not change. "Otherwise, given my status, it would not be your turn to pledge allegiance. I understand."

"Master, you are joking. We are just following the rules. If the young lady were here, we would naturally do the same. The shadow guards' recognition of the master means that they have acknowledged your status. You really don't need to be so self-deprecating."

"Alas! Actually, you don't have to blame yourself. If I tell you that my sister is not dead, will you feel more at ease?"

Ying Yi sneered. The bodies had been confirmed, so there was no way they were lying. But Xu Yixing just kept looking at him without saying a word, which made Ying Yi feel uneasy: "Master, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Actually, I'm not Xu Yiyan. I'm Xu Yixing, the eldest daughter of the Xu family. I was Xu Yixing long before you recognized me as your master. So, Yingyi, you have never been loyal to the wrong person, and you don't need to be responsible for my death."
