Mu Shaoling heard this and thought about the information he had extracted, which made his face turn a little sour.
"This is my fault," Mu Shaoling admitted. "After bringing your small arrows back to Capital City, they’ve been put to use. However, someone leaked information there, so they sent someone to gather intelligence and try to steal the method for making the small arrows from you. Coincidentally, this person is newly trained and inexperienced, not to mention that they became jealous of you during the mission, which led to the incident with Yang Aoshuang."
Yang Chuxia found this explanation somewhat laughable, the sort of helpless laughter.
"She became jealous of me? Is this a fucking loyal agent? That’s ridiculous!" she said, still with the poison pouch in her mouth.
Mu Shaoling was also speechless. He sat down and said, "It’s true that she is a loyal agent, and this is her first mission. It’s not impossible for her to be jealous. Loyal agents are mostly trained from a young age, spending their days in darkness and never seeing people. Most of these people are orphans without parents or siblings, let alone a fiancé. So it’s not impossible for such a young girl."
After hearing this, Yang Chuxia slapped the table angrily. "What kind of loyal agent is this? It’s just too unqualified!" "By the way, which family does the loyal agent belong to?"
Mu Shaoling didn’t answer at her question.
Seeing his reaction, Yang Chuxia became even angrier. "Don’t tell me it’s the Li Family again! When will you finally get rid of them? Can you even handle them?"
Mu Shaoling didn’t answer her question, but said, "The situation in the Capital City is beyond my control."
With a vaguely-worded response, Yang Chuxia guessed that the loyal agent might not have been sent by the Li Family, but she didn’t know which faction she was from. It was obvious that Mu Shaoling was on Baili Yan’s side, so if it wasn’t the Li Family, it was probably one of Baili Yan’s opponents.
Yang Chuxia slapped her thigh again and said, "Whatever you guys are doing is your business. We just want to live a peaceful and stable life. Don’t let this happen for a second time, and don’t bring these power struggles to this mountain village! These are ordinary villagers who can’t bear the consequences."
Faced with Yang Chuxia’s anger, Mu Shaoling unusually didn’t say much or retort.
He just said, "I’ll try my best to intercept any trouble before it reaches Wangquan!"
After getting Mu Shaoling’s promise, Yang Chuxia turned and left without asking how the person had been dealt with.
When she got home, Yang Chuxia instructed Qingyou to keep an eye on Shen Qiu when he had time.
Ye Zi’an asked, "Why, you still don’t trust her?"
"Hmph, just to be on the safe side!" Yang Chuxia snorted. "I’m just wondering why that person didn’t kill her! Killing her would make it easier for them to keep their identity a secret, wouldn’t it?"
Although she had heard why the person didn’t kill Shen Qiu, Yang Chuxia, as a secret agent, still found the reason unconvincing.
"Since you don’t trust her, just keep an eye on her for now."
"By the way, you didn’t follow me around again last night, did you?" Yang Chuxia asked, remembering that Mu Shaoling had said that Ye Zi’an was the one who had alerted him.
Ye Zi’an nodded and said, "You mentioned going to investigate. I knew you’d go last night, so I waited outside after you went in. I just hope that one day, my martial arts skills will be as good as yours, so I can go in with you."
"Then you better practice hard!"
