Although Su Xi did not know what the formation in front of her was, she knew she had to leave this place quickly, otherwise there would be endless trouble.
Now that Qiao'er was dead, it would surely attract the attention of the people behind her.
Once they discovered something was wrong with Qiao'er, they would move against her.
At the same time, Su Xi now understood that these people were not telling the truth, and it was very likely that they were just trying to create a diversion.
Qiao'er had previously said that this was not where the Eighth Prince was, which already indicated that she was lying, with the intention of reducing Su Xi's guard.
And through that strange formation, she understood that things were not that simple.
Therefore, since she knew the other party had ill intentions, she naturally had to leave this place as soon as possible.
Unable to find a way to leave, Su Xi did not hesitate and took out her supercomputer, conducting an extensive search.
By using the supercomputer to scan the environment, she could better find the information she needed and then find a way to leave more quickly.
Hei Shan Lao Yao watched Su Xi wander around, a look of confusion on his face.
He had studied formations and could even be considered an expert, but he had never seen such a way to break a formation. This was not breaking a formation at all, but strolling through the streets.
Lying in the pavilion, what kind of method was this?
The moment he saw Qiao'er, he knew what kind of person Su Xi had provoked, and thus understood how powerful these people were.
Since he understood their power, he naturally knew that he could not be caught.
Otherwise, his revenge would never be avenged.
So, he walked up to Su Xi, intending to offer to break the formation himself.
Although the formation before him was mysterious, it was not controlled by anyone, so it was not to be feared. As long as it was controlled well, everything would be fine.
However, as soon as he approached Su Xi and before he could speak, he suddenly saw Su Xi, who had been sitting in the pavilion, stand up.
Su Xi's sudden action almost shattered the last shred of Hei Shan Lao Yao's soul.
"What are you doing?" Hei Shan Lao Yao looked at Su Xi, his expression filled with surprise.
Su Xi smiled and explained, "I've found a way to break the formation. What are we still doing here?"
With that, Su Xi, under Hei Shan Lao Yao's bewildered gaze, walked in a certain direction, preparing to disrupt the formation.
Hei Shan Lao Yao's face was filled with disbelief at Su Xi's seemingly preposterous actions.
If breaking formations was this easy, then all his previous studies would have been in vain?
He knew that talent was important, but sometimes hard work was also important.
Just as Hei Shan Lao Yao was about to use practical actions to warn Su Xi that even with talent, she couldn't be too careless.
After all, formations were not child's play, and one should never be negligent.
However, before those words could be spoken, he suddenly noticed that the scenery before him was constantly changing.
Then, the peach trees quickly withered, eventually turning into a pile of fallen blossoms.
As the peach trees withered, the scenery before them rapidly transformed, and their figures reappeared in the original mansion.
Seeing the situation, Hei Shan Lao Yao couldn't help but swallow, his worldview shattered.
After walking out of the formation, Su Xi looked at Hei Shan Lao Yao and asked curiously, "You have something you want to ask, right? You can say it now."
Hei Shan Lao Yao shook his head, looking helpless and said, "I have no questions. I think my questions have been resolved."
With that, he re-integrated into Su Xi's body.
Out of sight, out of mind, he couldn't stand this blow.
Su Xi rubbed her nose. Although she felt very helpless, she didn't care.
The most important thing for her now was to solve the problem.
As for other issues, they would have to be decided later.
Ouyang Chu Ge looked at Su Xi in front of him and asked, "What did you do? Why did it take so long?"
If Su Xi hadn't come out soon, he would have gone in to see what had happened.
This was a crucial time.
If they were discovered, all their efforts would be in vain.
If Su Xi faltered, it would affect the overall situation. Their time was precious, and they had no time to start over.
"I'm fine. Let's go back and talk," Su Xi knew she had killed someone, so she couldn't stay any longer. Otherwise, if problems arose, how could she solve them?
Otherwise, if they were discovered, they wouldn't be able to leave at all.
Ouyang Chu Ge had no problem with that; leaving this damned place was the most important thing.
Although this place looked ordinary, she knew the situation was serious.
Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge returned to their courtyard and suddenly noticed someone following them not far away. Seeing them return, the followers voluntarily disappeared.
Silently, just as they had arrived.
Ouyang Chu Ge snorted and prepared to seize them.
Following them now meant they had no good intentions.
Su Xi stopped Ouyang Chu Ge upon seeing this.
These people had been following them since they left. It was clear they were Li Zhi's people, not anyone else's. They were following them simply to confirm what they had done.
It seemed Li Zhi still didn't trust them.
Although being followed was annoying, Su Xi knew that keeping these people around now would reassure Li Zhi.
If they were to fall out completely because of this, it would put them at a disadvantage.
If Li Zhi then found some powerful individuals to monitor them, it would be much harder to shake them off.
Ouyang Chu Ge nodded at Su Xi's words and didn't pursue the matter further.
After all, catching a few small figures was not the most important thing to him.
He had more important things to do in the capital.
For several days, Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge stayed indoors, seemingly forgetting their mission.
Upon receiving the news, Li Zhi couldn't sit still.
He had paid a great price, not for Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge to vacation in the capital, but to help him with his tasks.
If they weren't doing their jobs, he had no reason to keep them around.
Therefore, the next day, he brought his men to Su Xi's residence, intending to get to the bottom of things.
Seeing Li Zhi arrive, Su Xi quickly went out to greet him, initiating formal pleasantries.
Li Zhi took a sip of the tea Su Xi offered and then said, "I heard that you haven't been out since you last went out. What happened last time? Did you encounter any trouble?"
Su Xi shook her head and replied, "No, everything went smoothly."
Li Zhi frowned upon hearing Su Xi's words.
If there was no trouble, why hadn't she investigated what his eighth brother was up to? Why had she been staying in her room all this time?
His father's birthday was approaching. Every year, his eighth brother managed to win first place and make their father very happy.
This year was crucial for him to become Crown Prince, so he absolutely could not be weaker than the Eighth Prince.
Su Xi could sense the accusation in Li Zhi's words, but she was not in a hurry. She said, "Now, the situation is under our control. There's no need to worry too much."
"Hmph, do you really think we're fools?" Pang Dahai couldn't help but step forward and say, "You haven't left your rooms these past few days, so how could you have gathered any news?"
As an old confidant of Li Zhi, he knew when he should intervene.
Hearing Pang Dahai's accusation, Su Xi remained unhurried and replied, "Actually, has anyone told you that you can get news without leaving your house?"
"Hmph, do you think you're a deity, capable of such things?"
Pang Dahai looked at Su Xi with disbelief, thinking she was spouting nonsense.
Su Xi smiled faintly at Pang Dahai and said, "Facts speak louder than words. Whether it's true or false, you can see for yourself."
With that, Su Xi handed the sound-and-image talisman to Li Zhi. "It records the Eighth Prince's activities during this time. Your Highness can watch it and see if I'm lying."
Li Zhi glanced at Su Xi with doubt in his eyes, but still looked at the sound-and-image talisman.
Upon inputting his magical power into the talisman, a scene quickly appeared.
In this scene, a man who looked somewhat like Li Zhi appeared, showing him interacting with certain people each day. The scene not only contained figures but also voices.
It was vivid and lifelike, as if it were happening before his eyes, incredibly real.
"This."
Li Zhi was utterly shocked by what he saw.
Was this truly something he could see?
Su Xi's abilities were surprisingly powerful.
With this, no matter what Li Ge did, he would never escape his control.
However, after the initial excitement, he felt a chill run down his spine.
If Su Xi used the same method to monitor him, then he would have no secrets left.
In their line of work, secrets were absolutely not to be revealed.
Therefore, in that instant, a murderous intent began to stir within him.
If he could eliminate this person, there would be no problems. After all, Su Xi had served her purpose, and there was no need for her to live.
Su Xi sensed Li Zhi's murderous intent and said, "While monitoring the Eighth Prince, I suddenly discovered a big secret."
"A secret?" Li Zhi looked at Su Xi, his interest piqued, and asked, "What secret did you discover?"
Su Xi glanced at Pang Dahai, her meaning obvious.
This matter was of great importance, and she was not comfortable speaking with someone else present.
Pang Dahai felt his breath catch when he saw Su Xi's behavior.
He was Li Zhi's most trusted subordinate, so what couldn't he hear?
Su Xi was not afraid of Pang Dahai's resentment.
After all, her role was to stir up trouble. The more trouble she caused, the more beneficial it would be for her. Moreover, Pang Dahai was just a pawn for her future use, and the rest was irrelevant.
Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "It's fine. Pang Dahai has been with me for so many years; there are no problems. You can speak freely."
Su Xi nodded and said, "In that case, I will tell you."
"From my monitoring of the Eighth Prince, I learned that they have planted an informant in the Third Prince's mansion, so they likely know everything about you."
Upon hearing Su Xi's words, Li Zhi's expression turned grim.
No wonder in all these years, everything he did was always overshadowed by that person. It turned out that person had planted an informant so long ago; how cunning!
"Do you know who it is?" Li Zhi looked at Su Xi, feeling indescribably distressed.
If he could catch such a person, he would undoubtedly grind them to dust.
Su Xi shook her head, "I don't know who the informant is yet, but I have some thoughts."
