Chapter 454 -455: How Many People in the World Can Possess Such Ability!!
Qi Yue didn’t speak either, crossing the street and quickly arriving at the entrance of the alley on the opposite side.
This was Jing Alley, very narrow and small. One couldn’t see how deep it went inside, only able to smell a damp and hot stench.
It was very much like a muddy pond filled with the corpses of tadpoles in the summer.
“Master, I’ll go first,” Qingzhu squeezed in ahead.
Several people entered the alley, and after walking for a while, Qingzhu suddenly stopped.
“Master, there is a smell of blood.”
Qi Yue hummed in response, as if she had known all along, maintaining an unchanging expression.
“Further inside, everyone has left.”
Hearing this, Qingzhu quickened his steps, and they soon reached the end of the alley.
The deeper they went, the stronger the smell of blood became, making one wonder if they had arrived at a slaughterhouse.
There was a household here, its main door wide open, and inside it was dead silent.
As they entered, they saw several men lying chaotically on the ground, their bloodstains already dried.
“Master, they’ve been dead for about one or more Shichen,” Qingzhu whispered quietly, “it should have been before Li Tianli left.”
Qi Yue hummed softly, her expression indifferent, “Can you tell who did it?”
Zhao Chong interjected, “Master, these people’s methods are very peculiar, not commonly seen in the Martial World, rather they seem like…”
“These are the crescent blades of the Longting Guard.” Qingzhu stated with certainty. “The crescent blade originates from Shen Gong’s Deathblade, known for its ruthless and fatal strikes, often leaving a crescent-shaped wound.”
As he spoke, he pulled open a wound on one of the corpses, indeed revealing a crescent shape.
“It seems Li Tianyi left with the Longting Guard, and they must have killed here to cover their tracks. There’s just one thing I don’t understand… What power does Li Tianyi have that could make the Longting Guard step in?”
Suddenly, a thought came to him, and his expression immediately tensed.
“Master, Li Tianyi has been with us for so long, he must have had suspicions about our identities. Now that he has gone, the fake identity you painstakingly crafted may not hold.”
Qi Yue curved her lips, her handsome face showing a very pleased expression.
“No matter, I was prepared for him to leave. I was afraid he wouldn’t.”
Zhao Chong and the others looked at each other, all wearing faces of confusion but sensibly refrained from asking.
They all knew that anything Qi Yue could tell them, she would say without them asking.
What they didn’t need to know, asking would be useless.
Because even if Qi Yue did tell them, they often wouldn’t understand.
However, at this moment, Qi Yue’s certainty only made her appear even more mysterious and unpredictable in their eyes.

—How could the master seem even more formidable than our own Marquis?
Also, how did she know something was off about this alley?
I want to ask, but I dare not!
Qi Yue, of course, didn’t know what they were thinking. She looked around, then suddenly turned her gaze towards Zhao Tai, yet she addressed Qingzhu.
“In your opinion, how many Longting Guards have been here?”
Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhao Tai, and bowed, saying, “Answering the master, at least six…”
“Six,” Qi Yue raised her eyebrows and said no more, stepping out to leave.
Zhao Tai was also a Black Feather Guard and could certainly discern what had transpired in this courtyard and roughly how many people had been here.
Clearly, if it weren’t for Qi Yue, no matter how formidable he was, entering such a dark alley would have definitely led to his death.
After all, six Longting Guards!
He could only handle one or two at most!
By then, his child would have no father.
In an instant, his legs weakened, and he shouted towards Qi Yue’s back.
“Thank you, Master, for saving my life!”
However, Zhao Tai, Qingzhu, and the others were all full of curiosity about how Qi Yue could so precisely sense the danger.
On the way back, Zhao Chong asked through the window.
“Master, how did you know there was danger in that alley?”
“Exactly, Master, you came late, and I was watching them all the while!” Zhao Tai eagerly added.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue smiled slightly and looked through the carriage curtain at the bustling pedestrians on the street.
“You need not worry too much, I also noticed that the gray-robed man walked oddly, and given the previous intelligence that Li Tianyi’s superior is the Emperor of Nanyue, I had my suspicions. Fortunately, I intervened correctly, otherwise, the loser would have been me!”
Zhao Tai was somewhat embarrassed but still curiously pressed on.
“Was there something wrong with the gray-clothed man’s walk?”
Qi Yue secretly curved her lips, her eyes filled with a more intense teasing look.
“That man is rootless and old; his steps are not quite like those of ordinary people.”
“Rootless… that would mean he is a eunuch…”
Zhao Tai and the others blushed belatedly, but their admiration for Qi Yue soared immensely!
Merely from a person’s walk, she had deduced his identity and anticipated subsequent events, a capability rare in the world!
Even they, who had been Black Feather Guards for many years, could not achieve this!
Only Qi Yue could!
The few secretly cast their gaze toward the delicate yet upright silhouette inside the carriage, beginning to envision that such a woman ascending that supreme position was indeed plausible!
Reflecting on the past, they recognized Qi Yue as a person, her medical skills, her marvel, but had always seen her as Zhao Xiyan’s wife, someone their Marquis commanded them to protect.
But the series of recent events, and the tactics and generosity Qi Yue demonstrated, gradually changed certain persistent prejudices.
As for that supreme position, if their Marquis was willing, what more could they question!
Upon returning to Liu Residence, as soon as they entered Baoyue Pavilion, they saw the old housekeeper pacing in the courtyard, apparently with something important on his mind.
The moment he saw Qi Yue return, his wrinkled face immediately bloomed into a chrysanthemum.
“Young master, you are finally back!”
Qi Yue curved her lips.
“Uncle Liu, do you need me for something? I’m busy, I just came back to get something and I’ll be leaving; we can talk later.”
Saying this, she signaled to Qingzhu with her eyes, and then headed towards her room.
This housekeeper definitely wanted to back out of the promised herbs!
This won’t do!
The order had been placed, and without the items, her hands itched.
If it weren’t for Liu Zhinan giving her such a good cover for her identity and treating her so well, she would have long been raiding the Liu Family’s medicine store!
The old housekeeper couldn’t stop her and urgently started to shout.
“Young master, just listen to me for a second, it’s about the herbs! If I don’t get it clear, I can’t have them delivered!”
Upon hearing the words “deliver the herbs”, Qi Yue involuntarily stopped in her tracks.
“What’s the situation? Uncle Liu, don’t tell me the herbs on the order aren’t available from my uncle? Missing one or two types is one thing, but if many are missing, I wouldn’t be able to prepare the medicine my uncle needs… Ah, I was even thinking of presenting a few bottles to you Uncle, but it seems I won’t now…”
