Lo An Lord was utterly confused, completely at a loss, not understanding what the Little One in his arms meant by her words.
However, Madam Xiang and the others understood what the Little One was saying, and their hearts plummeted from a great height to the depths of despair. They all stared blankly at the Little One.
Especially Fourth Princess Luo Cai Feng, who had almost screamed out, "A ghost..."
But Luo Bingbing seemed to sense her urge to scream and quickly silenced her words.
Consort Luo and Madam Xiang were both seasoned individuals; they soon regained their composure. After exchanging glances, it was Madam Xiang who could speak up. She stepped forward and said, "My lord, my sister and I have been reciting scriptures and praying for blessings for Prince Luo's Residence these past few days. This morning, when we heard from the servants that there was a dead Black-Clad Assassin in the garden, we hurried over to perform a rite for the deceased."
Although they did not understand why the Little One was still standing before them unharmed, they knew their plans had failed. Thus, they quickly concocted an excellent excuse for themselves.
Upon hearing Madam Xiang's words, a playful smile blossomed even more brightly on Luo Bingbing's face.
Lo An Lord, after listening to her explanation, accepted it without suspicion. He nodded slightly and said, "Well, it's commendable that you both think of the prince's residence. Now, you should return to your courtyards and rest."
Madam Xiang and the others were already terrified by Luo Bingbing, so upon hearing Lo An Lord's words, they hurriedly took their leave.
Their speed was frantic as if fearing that being last would draw the attention of the Little One.
At that moment, they still believed that their actions were unknown and that there would be no evidence against them. Little did they know that all the evidence had already been grasped by the Little One.
As Madam Xiang left, she deliberately glanced back at the Little One in Lo An Lord's arms.
Luo Bingbing noticed her looking back and naturally responded with an exceptionally bright smile.
But when she saw the smile of the Little One, instead of feeling happy, she felt a deep sense of fear and dread. To her, it was the smile of a demon, sending chills down her spine and making her heart race.
However, despite her fear of Luo Bingbing, her cunning mind quickly connected the dots. The black-clad figure lying on the ground last night, who had returned and suddenly committed suicide—could it have been the work of the Little One?
With this thought in mind, she quickened her pace, eager to return and discuss their next course of action with Prince Luo's Residence.
Luo Bingbing noticed that they were already frightened by her presence and felt that her goal for today had been achieved.
After stretching lazily in her so-called Father's embrace, she raised an eyebrow and said to him, "Father, what results can you possibly achieve by studying here endlessly?"
As she spoke, she swiftly flicked her Father's forehead.
Lo An Lord suddenly felt a pang of pain and turned his head to look at his beloved daughter. Just as he was about to ask about the Little One in his arms, he heard her voice.
Luo Bingbing slowly said, "You all are so foolish. Since you know this black-clad person is an assassin, why not start investigating the assassin sects in the martial world?"
Hearing the Little One's words, Strategist Gongsun Ming quickly chimed in, "The Little Princess is right. Instead of wasting time here, we should promptly begin our investigation with those assassin sects."
After considering their words for a moment, Lo An Lord replied calmly, "Then it's settled."
As soon as Lo An Lord finished speaking, Luo Yi had just returned to the garden. Upon seeing Luo Yi back, Luo Bingbing waved her hand to signal him to come over.
Little Beggar Luo Yi had followed Luo Bingbing's instructions from last night and returned to Prince Luo's Residence that morning.
From a distance, he spotted his Young Mistress with Lo An Lord in the garden and made his way toward them.
Upon seeing Luo Bingbing wave at him, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, taking three steps at a time until he soon reached her side.
As he approached Luo Bingbing, he greeted her, Lo An Lord, and Strategist Gongsun Ming with a bow.
Lo An Lord and Strategist Gongsun Ming were eager to ask Little Beggar Luo Yi where he had been these past few days and what tasks the Little One had sent him to do.
However, the black-clad man still lay on the ground, unresolved, so they refrained from asking.
Luo Yi merely nodded in acknowledgment of their greetings.
Seeing that the purpose of her visit that morning had been achieved, Luo Bingbing turned to her so-called Father and said, "Father, you can take your time handling this. I will return to my study to read."
After speaking, she signaled Lo An Lord to let her down.
Lo An Lord was aware that there were still many matters left unattended. Upon hearing his beloved daughter's words, he promptly set her down.
Once on the ground, Luo Bingbing instructed Little Beggar Luo Yi to accompany her back to Piaoyun Pavilion.
Seeing that his beloved daughter had entered Piaoyun Pavilion, Lo An Lord invited Strategist Gongsun Ming to join him in his study to discuss how to investigate the matter at hand.
After returning to her study with the Little One, Little Beggar Luo Yi reported on the training of the beggars over the past week.
Listening to Little Beggar Luo Yi's report, Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and said, "Tonight I will personally select people from that dense forest, specifically from the group of beggars you trained. I will choose one hundred individuals, and those selected will be trained by me personally."
Upon hearing this from the Little One before him, Luo Yi couldn't help but look up at her with a questioning gaze fixed on the Little One.
After seeing his gaze, Luo Bingbing understood that Little Beggar Luo Yi was asking whether he could also join the training.
So, she shook her head and said slowly, "You cannot participate in the training; you have more important things to do."
Upon hearing this, Little Beggar Luo Yi's dim eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
Luo Bingbing paused for a moment before continuing, "In the future, you will be the leader of the Beggar Clan, while I will operate from behind the scenes. Therefore, all matters concerning the Beggar Clan must be handled by you."
After hearing his master's words, Little Beggar Luo Yi felt quite anxious and furrowed his brow as he said, "Master, you want me to be the leader and handle the affairs of the Beggar Clan, but I can barely recognize a few characters! I am worried that I won't be able to manage it!"
"It's alright; take your time to learn. You must have confidence in yourself. If you give up on yourself, how can others believe in you or have confidence in you?"
Hearing these words from the Little One in front of him, Little Beggar Luo Yi was taken aback, and his lost confidence was quickly restored.
In fact, sometimes he doubted whether this Little One was truly just a five or six-year-old child.
Because her words and actions were not something a child of that age could accomplish.
Seeing that Luo Yi had absorbed her words, Luo Bingbing instructed him, "Alright, think about it slowly when you go to bed tonight! For now, go prepare a carriage; we will go to the market together later."
"Yes, I will prepare it right away." With that, he turned and left.
After he left, Luo Bingbing asked the Nursemaid to prepare as well so they could go out together later to buy some things.
After a while, both Luo Yi and the Nursemaid came to report that everything was ready for departure.
Luo Bingbing was afraid that if her so-called Father found out she was going to the street, he would insist on accompanying her. Therefore, she did not send anyone to inform the lord that she was going out.
So, Luo Bingbing took the two of them and left the residence, riding in a carriage once again towards the streets of Silver City.
In fact, she had no particular business on the street; she just wanted to prepare some daily necessities and storable food for the beggars she had chosen for tonight.
After arriving on the street, they went straight to buy those daily necessities and food.
Because a few days ago, Luo Bingbing and Snow Spirit Fox had made quite an impression on the streets of Silver City, many people recognized her as that day’s Little Doll as soon as she appeared.
The servants sent by General Lan to find Little Doll naturally spotted Luo Bingbing as well. They hurried back to report to their general.
Soon, Luo Bingbing's carriage was piled high with items, but they had only bought some daily necessities; they hadn't even started purchasing food yet!
Thus, Luo Bingbing instructed Luo Yi to take the daily necessities back to the royal residence first before coming out to buy food. She and the Nursemaid then went to a nearby restaurant to wait for Luo Yi.
After Little Beggar Luo Yi left, Luo Bingbing took the Nursemaid into a private room at a nearby restaurant. Being casual, she didn’t pay attention to the restaurant's sign or its decor.
However, the Innkeeper had been paying special attention to her since she entered.
The more he looked at this Little One, the more he felt she resembled a portrait in his room. Remembering what his master had instructed him earlier, he immediately turned and walked towards the backyard.
When the Innkeeper entered the backyard, he went straight to a small courtyard where an old man in a gray robe was sitting in a pavilion.
Indeed, this old man in gray was the true owner of the restaurant and also known throughout the land as the Poet Sage—Li Jingshan.
The Innkeeper approached him respectfully and said, "Master, just now a girl who looks exactly like the one in the painting came to the tavern."
The Poet Sage, who had been admiring the scenery, immediately perked up upon hearing the Innkeeper's words and asked, "Where is she? Where is that Little Doll now?"
Upon hearing his master's question, the Innkeeper hurriedly replied, "Master, she is currently in our tavern's Private Room enjoying some tea!"
As soon as the Poet Sage heard this, he activated his Lightness Skill and rushed towards the tavern's Private Room. When he arrived at the door of the Private Room, he saw a middle-aged woman sitting at the table alongside a Little Girl who appeared to be only five or six years old.
Upon seeing the Little Girl, he instinctively ignored the woman beside her and focused his gaze directly on the Little One.
He knew that this Little One was the very girl he had been searching for all along, and she looked exactly like the Little Girl in that painting.
Luo Bingbing and her Nursemaid were seated by the window enjoying tea when suddenly they felt an intense gaze directed at them from the doorway.
She quickly turned her head to look and saw an elderly man in a gray robe standing at the entrance. Noticing that he was staring at her, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly.
Just as she was about to ask why the old man was looking at her, he stepped inside and said, "Little girl, you are truly hard to find!"
Hearing this Gray-Robed Elder's words, Luo Bingbing felt extremely puzzled, thinking that she had never seen this person before. Why was he looking for her?
The Nursemaid beside her, hearing the Poet Sage's words, asked with confusion, "Sir, are you sure you have not mistaken someone? My young lady does not know you at all!"
"There's no mistake; I cannot be wrong. Besides, your young lady has my Gui Ke Yu from Poetry Manor!" The Poet Sage said with a cheerful smile to the Nursemaid.
