Kong Rui didn’t rush her and continued to wait for Ling Nuo to continue.

After Ling Nuo’s interrogation, those people only revealed that they had been hired by High Heaven Pavilion to come to Fragrant Garden to cause trouble. Their goal was to prevent Fragrant Garden from opening.

However, they didn’t expect there to be a powerhouse hidden in Fragrant Garden. They failed in their mission and got captured for interrogation.

As for why the High Heaven Pavilion had sent someone to cause trouble at this time, Kong Rui didn’t have a clue.

However, it could be seen that the person who threatened Kong Rui with Little Lion and Little Phoenix wasn’t from the High Heaven Pavilion.

When Kong Rui heard Ling Nuo’s words, she began to wonder why Chao Bai had suddenly appeared and disappeared without even saying goodbye.

This person came and went without a trace, making Kong Rui feel frustrated.

After feeling frustrated for a while, Kong Rui suddenly realized something. She immediately straightened her expression and interrupted Ling Nuo’s nagging. “Alright! Come out with me now. I still have something else to deal with.”

Ling Nuo immediately fell silent and his anger from a second ago subsided. “Miss, where are we going?”

“Don’t ask! Let’s go!” With that, Kong Rui walked towards the door.

The brothel keeper was cursing those troublemakers as she instructed the servants to clean up the hall.

“Let me tell you, even if it’s not open for business these days, this hall has to be kept clean for me!” The brothel keeper had one hand on her waist as she pointed at the servants in front of her with the other.

“If 1 find out that someone dares to slack off, 1’11 tie you up and let Brother Ling teach you a lesson!”

If it was before, no one would have taken the brothel keeper’s threat to heart.

However, after hearing the miserable cries during the interrogation, this threat was even more effective than an imperial edict.

The servants worked even harder. Only then did the brothel keeper sit down on the wooden chair at the side in satisfaction and let out a long sigh.

“What will happen to Fragrant Garden without me around?!”

As soon as the brothel keeper finished speaking, she saw Kong Rui rushing out.

She immediately stood up to welcome her. Before she could open her mouth, Kong Rui’s figure had already flashed past her.

The brothel keeper returned to her seat calmly, as if she was used to it. As she fanned the fan in her hand, she lamented softly, “They’re all troublemakers!”

Kong Rui left Fragrant Garden with Ling Nuo and went straight to the backyard of the Li family’s residence.

This place was backed by a large forest outside the royal family and they could reach the entrance of the royal family through the forest.

However, it was said that ferocious beasts often appeared in this dense forest. The queen had specifically ordered people to guard this place, so this place became a place where no one dared to trespass upon.

After Kong Rui brought Ling Nuo out of the dense forest, her entire body trembled uncomfortably.

Previously, Kong Rui had been brought into the forest by Li Ling and the others to see her fight those ferocious beasts.

However, they didn’t encounter any ferocious beasts even after a few times.

Li Ling and the others felt bored, so they never came here again.

Kong Rui had been to this forest a few times, but she had never seen the so-called guards sent by the queen.

It seemed that the news that someone was on duty was just rumors.

As for the reason why no one dared to come here, Kong Rui guessed that it was because this place was between the royal family and the Li residence, so no one dared to barge in.

Secondly, there were indeed ferocious beasts here. However, they were trapped by something, so they were not so easily discovered.

When she thought of this, Kong Rui’s expression changed.

Ling Nuo noticed Kong Rui’s discomfort and quickly asked softly, “Miss, are you alright?”

Kong Rui waved her hand, but didn’t answer Ling Nuo’s question. Instead, she adjusted her breathing and walked deeper into the forest.

When the two of them entered the dense forest, they felt a chill that was completely different from their surroundings surround them from all directions.

Ling Nuo couldn’t help but tremble and lean in Kong Rui’s direction. “Miss, this forest is a little strange.”

Kong Rui shushed him and looked around for something.

According to Stone’s description, the secret mission they were carrying out was near the Li family’s ancestral hall, which had long been destroyed by Kong Rui and Chao Bai.

Stone and the others had probably gone to the forest closest to the Li family’s ancestral hall.

If the spirit beasts Stone and the others encountered were really Little Lion and the others, they would definitely be hidden in this dense forest!
