Upon hearing the question from the Little One in his arms, Lo An Lord was about to respond, but before he could utter a word, Snow Spirit Elder, seated in the guest chair, spoke up first: "Someone wants your life, and there are two parties involved."
As he spoke, Snow Spirit Elder pointed at the figure on the ground, the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate. "This person is likely an assassin, hired by someone."
After a brief pause, Snow Spirit Elder pointed at the other five individuals on the ground. "These five must be Death Warriors trained by someone."
At this point, he turned his head to look at the Little One in Lo An Lord's arms and earnestly said to Luo Bingbing, "I must ask you, Little Doll, how many people have you offended? Why are there so many wanting your life?"
The others present listened intently to Snow Spirit Elder's question, their eyes fixed on the Little One, eagerly awaiting a response.
However, upon hearing Snow Spirit Elder's inquiry, Luo Bingbing did not even lift her head.
"Master."
"Who is Master?"
"Master is Master."
After hearing this response, Luo Bingbing raised an eyebrow and asked again, "Who is Master?" Yet the answer remained the same: "Master is Master." Realizing that he had been brainwashed and no longer remembered who his Master was, she decided not to press further.
Instead, she approached the nearest Black-clad Assassin and slowly crouched down. Using the same method, she hypnotized him and posed the same question. His answer mirrored that of the previous Black-clad Assassin.
Luo Bingbing continued to ask each one in turn until she reached the fifth Black-clad Assassin. After hearing that all five of them provided identical answers, she turned her gaze toward the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate.
At that moment, the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate remained in a daze, seemingly oblivious to everything around him. Not only him but even Snow Spirit Elder and Lo An Lord were taken aback by Luo Bingbing's actions.
They believed that the technique used by the Little One was Soul Capture from a century ago by the Demon Palace Master. At that time, it was widely regarded as an evil art and a scourge to martial arts.
Consequently, martial artists banded together to hunt down the Demon Palace, which vanished during that campaign. Since then, Soul Capture had disappeared from martial arts circles.
Unbeknownst to him, Luo Bingbing had no martial arts skills at all; what she was using was merely a common hypnotic technique from the Twenty-First Century.
Sensing a figure in front of him, the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate finally came to his senses. However, once he did, he could only stare blankly at the Little One, his eyes betraying a fear that a killer should not exhibit.
Seeing the fear in his eyes, Luo Bingbing realized that the killer's mental defenses had been silently breached by her.
She slowly crouched down, her gaze fixed intently on the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate. This killer was not a Death Warrior; he had his own thoughts and calculations.
When he noticed Luo Bingbing looking at him, he initially lowered his head, trying to avoid meeting her eyes. He knew that Soul Capture began with eye contact.
At the same time, he was contemplating how to infect the Little One with the poison that coursed through his own body. He understood that this Little One was the key figure among these people.
His body had been afflicted with a Deadly Poison during his training in the deep mountains. This poison would not take his life but would grow within him and infect those around him.
He thought that if he could quietly transfer this Deadly Poison to the Little One before him, he could threaten them into releasing him and save his own life.
However, he did not know that Luo Bingbing herself was an antidote and was completely immune to any Deadly Poison.
Luo Bingbing could tell from his expression that this killer was already on guard against her.
Suddenly feeling her eyelids grow slightly heavy, Luo Bingbing raised an eyebrow; she knew it was time for her to rest.
Thus, disregarding everything else and adopting a quick resolution mindset, she used her Ability to force the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate to look up at her.
Then, Luo Bingbing began to hypnotize the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate.
Gradually, the killer's gaze began to fade, and the focus in his eyes started to disappear.
After a while, when Luo Bingbing felt it was sufficient, she stopped the hypnosis and said to the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate: "From now on, I am your master. You must absolutely obey my commands without any defiance."
The assassin from the Thousand Gold Gate, who had already been hypnotized by Luo Bingbing, quickly responded after hearing her words, "Yes, Master."
Luo Bingbing then began to ask, "Who are you?"
"Reporting to you, Master, I am Lin Ye, a first-level assassin from the Thousand Gold Gate," the assassin replied promptly upon hearing her question.
After listening to his response, Luo Bingbing continued to inquire, "Who is your employer?"
"The ambassador said the employer is right here in Prince Luo's Residence and that it is a woman."
"Oh, really? After you complete your mission tonight, where will you go to collect your reward?"
"I will go to a place in this royal residence called the Azure Water Pavilion to meet a woman there."
"Do you have any token?"
"Yes." With that, the assassin took out an emerald ring from his bosom and handed it over to Luo Bingbing with both hands.
Luo Bingbing casually accepted the ring and examined it closely. However, he did not know whose ring it was.
At that moment, several prominent figures had also regained their composure. Lo An Lord, after listening to their conversation, quickly approached and took a look at the ring in Luo Bingbing's hand.
As he examined it, he suddenly remembered; this emerald ring belonged to Madam Xiang.
Realizing that the emerald ring was Madam Xiang's ignited a fierce anger within him. He felt an overwhelming urge to rush to the Fragrant Pavilion and confront his wife about this.
However, there were still assassins on the ground that needed to be dealt with, and many distinguished guests were present in the hall. If he were to leave abruptly, it would be too disrespectful.
Seeing her so-called father's expression, Luo Bingbing knew that her father must have already realized whose emerald ring it was and understood who had hired the assassin to kill her.
However, she would not ask him, as she had already guessed that the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate was sent by the people from the Fragrant Pavilion and Azure Water Pavilion.
Luo Bingbing glanced at the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate, Lin Ye, and asked, "Where is the headquarters of the Thousand Gold Gate? Is Silver City another stronghold of the Thousand Gold Gate?"
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's question, Lin Ye quickly replied, "Reporting to you, Master, the headquarters of the Thousand Gold Gate is on the outskirts of Toxic Ridge. Silver City indeed has a small outpost of the Thousand Gold Gate."
"Where exactly is the outpost in Silver City?"
"It is at the end of West Hua Street."
With all the answers now known, Luo Bingbing turned to Lo An Lord beside her and said, "Go sit down in the back; I am going to begin the advanced hypnosis."
Upon hearing what the Little One said, Snow Spirit Elder and the others exchanged glances, unsure of what the Little One meant by "hypnosis."
Just as they were about to ask the Little One for clarification, Lo An Lord spoke up first.
Lo An Lord curiously asked, "Bing Bing, what is hypnosis?"
Hearing her so-called father’s question, Luo Bingbing slowly explained, "Hypnosis is when a person enters a dormant state but can still move their body; it’s just that their brain stops functioning."
Lo An Lord and Snow Spirit Elder listened with confusion, looking at the Little One with puzzled expressions.
Seeing that everyone was still unclear, Luo Bingbing directly stated, "What I just used was hypnosis. However, it was an advanced form; soon I will use a special grade one."
Thus, Luo Bingbing employed special-grade hypnosis on the five Black-clad Assassins, commanding them to quickly return to their Master and eliminate him.
Afterward, Luo Bingbing instructed Snow Spirit Elder to release their acupoints.
Once their acupoints were unblocked, the five injured Black-clad Assassins swiftly left Prince Luo's Residence and headed towards their general.
As soon as they left, Luo Bingbing instructed the Snow Spirit Elder to quickly follow them and see where those five Black-clad Assassins had gone.
Upon hearing the Little One's words, the Snow Spirit Elder understood her intentions and immediately followed without hesitation.
At that moment, everyone in the hall was in awe of the Little One, gazing at her with admiration. Even Lo An Lord, her father, was no exception.
They had spent an entire night without uncovering any information, yet the Little One returned and swiftly found the answers, even identifying the mastermind behind it all.
Luo Bingbing, however, paid no attention to their gazes. After glancing at The Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate, she turned to Lo An Lord and said, "Father, this person is for you to handle. I'm tired and will go to sleep now."
With that, she walked out, leaving the prominent figures behind still wanting more.
Since her room wasn't ready yet, she casually found a guest room to sleep in.
The Dark Guard stationed in the royal residence by Dongfang Hao was cautious not to get too close for fear of being discovered, but he still managed to grasp the general situation.
So when he saw Luo Bingbing about to leave, he quickly slipped away from Prince Luo's Residence and headed to the palace to report tonight's events to his master, Dongfang Hao.
