Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter
Chapter 501 - 500: Breaking the Game, Dispersing Shadow Guard_1Chapter 501: Chapter 500: Breaking the Game, Dispersing Shadow Guard_1
Lin Qingluo guessed Xue Ji’s purpose and was extremely worried. She rushed forward like an arrow, her body moving so fast that it was almost invisible, only leaving behind vague afterimages in the dark night.
Xue Ji infiltrated Flower Street and, in front of the Wang Clan Patriarch and a group of singers, stabbed the Nanqi Regent in the heart with a dagger and kicked him out of the window.
The Nanqi Regent lay dead at the scene, and Xue Ji took advantage of the chaos to escape, leaving behind a dark token.
As the Wang Clan Patriarch recovered from his shock and bent down to pick up the token, a fiery red Little Kingfisher streaked through the night sky, heading straight for his forehead, knocking him over with its powerful force.
“Ouch!”
The Wang Clan Patriarch was caught off guard and was knocked off balance by the Little Kingfisher, causing him to lose his footing and fall back, hitting the ground with a crisp sound and a swollen, bruised lump on his forehead.
He fell in a daze, seeing stars, and eventually pulled himself together, becoming furious and swearing to take revenge on the bird.
A youth dressed in turquoise leaped down from the roof, rolled swiftly, grabbed the token, and immediately jumped back onto the roof, quickly escaping.
The series of actions were smooth, without any pause, too fast for anyone to see her appearance clearly.

At midnight, inside the inn.
Two Shadow Guards knelt down, ashamed and waiting to be punished by their young lady.
“Shadow Five, Shadow Six, since the two of you have protected my father for many years, I’ll let it go this time and not pursue it,” Lin Qingluo said solemnly as she threw the token to Shadow Six.
“However, letting it go does not mean you didn’t make a mistake. Xue Ji is cunning and full of tricks; we must guard against her. From now on, you two will track her whereabouts and report what happened today to my father, leaving him to decide how to deal with Xue Ji.”
“As you command.”
Shadow Five and Shadow Six respectfully agreed, not daring to voice any objections.
“You may leave!”
Lin Qingluo nodded with satisfaction: “Keep the token safe, and don’t lose it again.”
“Yes.”
The two Shadow Guards blushed in shame, bowed, and left. They flipped onto the roof and disappeared from sight.
“Master, wouldn’t it be better to have the birds track down Xue Ji?”
Little Kingfisher stood on her master’s shoulder, a little puzzled: “Shadow Five and Shadow Six clearly can’t match Xue Ji, and trying to track her will be difficult.”
“It doesn’t matter whether they can track Xue Ji or not.” Lin Qingluo said with an indulgent smile while looking at the cute pet: “By sending them away on this false mission, we can change our route to the north without my father’s knowledge.”
“Oh, Master is so clever.”
Little Kingfisher suddenly understood: “What about Xue Ji? Should we expose her?”
“Let the birds keep an eye on her.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes darkened: “After this incident, my father should know that she can’t be trusted, and it’s time to remove the false mask she has worn for ten years.”
“She wanted to frame Master.”
Little Kingfisher was a little unwilling: “Why not just get rid of her directly?”
“Let them settle their own grievances.”
Lin Qingluo rubbed her tired eyebrows: “I’m exhausted too, let’s go to sleep. We’ll get up early tomorrow and quickly change our route to the north before anyone can follow.”
“Alright.”
Little Kingfisher felt sorry for her young master, worrying about her getting tired and quickly forgetting about Xue Ji.
The pair enjoyed a good night’s sleep together.
*****
The Nanqi Regent, who had been invited to Long City for pleasure, was assassinated and killed on the spot.
As soon as the news came out, the Seven Kingdoms were in an uproar.
Long City was tense, and the people of the Wang Clan felt endangered, fearing that Nanqi would send troops to avenge the Regent’s death, leading to war.
