Reborn as an abandoned daughter, she became a stunning genius

"Sure enough, there is something weird." The obstruction of his telepathy made Jiang Ning certain that there was something wrong here.

No wonder Chen Ke is so worried about outsiders entering the ancestral hall. If he didn't have the power of telepathy, Jiang Ning might also think that this is just an ordinary ancestral hall that cannot be more ordinary.

Closing her eyes, Jiang Ning released all her telekinesis power, and after a moment, she finally discovered something unusual.

The place has been found, but to find the entrance, the only way is to force it open with brute force.

Jiang Ning looked back at the four guards at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

Now is not the right time.

In addition, in addition to completing the mission of the Evil Spirit Clan, Jiang Ning also needs to find out the truth about the death of the Lord of Yue City in Li City a year ago.

She didn't believe that the death of the master of Yue City was related to Yue Yang. There must be something fishy in it.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Jiang Ning continued to wander around the city lord's mansion.

Turning around, Jiang Ning suddenly discovered a deserted and abandoned yard.

Pushing the door open and entering, the yard is full of messy and unkempt plants, but you can still vaguely see the former splendor.

Jiang Ning stopped at the door of the courtyard and suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the room in the courtyard.

"Is there anyone?" Jiang Ning walked into the yard and went straight to the room where the noise came from.

When she condensed the spirit sword in her hand and was about to open the door and break in, a stone suddenly flew from behind.

The sound of breaking through the air struck, and Jiang Ning was clear-sighted. Without turning around, she waved the spirit sword in her hand and cut the flying stones in half.

The stone broken in half fell to the ground, making a sound that alerted the people hiding in the room.

"Ah! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" A crazy woman with disheveled hair rushed out of the room and ran directly into Jiang Ning who was standing at the door.

The two collided. Jiang Ning stood motionless, while the woman was bounced back and sat on the ground.

The woman raised her head slightly, her timid eyes fell on the spirit sword in Jiang Ning's hand, and the next second she started crying and begging for mercy.

"I don't want to die, don't kill me."

The woman was crying so hard that she was out of breath, with snot and tears running down her face.

Seeing that the other party was just an ordinary person without cultivation, Jiang Ning put the spirit sword back.

"I'm not here to kill you." Jiang Ning explained.

But the other woman seemed to not understand the words and kept begging for mercy.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning squatted in front of the crazy woman and asked, "Who are you?"

The crazy woman didn't answer, she just kept crying.

"Let me guess, you used to be a maid here." Jiang Ning continued.

Although the clothes on the crazy woman's body were stained with a lot of dust, Jiang Ning could still vaguely tell that they were the clothes of the maid of the city lord's palace.

As soon as these words came out, the crazy woman's expression changed significantly.

She looked at Jiang Ning blankly, as if trying to understand the meaning of Jiang Ning's words.

"Who was your previous master?" Jiang Ning continued to ask.

"Lord Yue City?"

"The mayor's wife?"

Jiang Ning said while observing the changes in the crazy woman's expression.

Until she mentioned "the son of the city lord", the crazy woman's emotions immediately became excited.

"You used to be Yueyang's maid, so this must be Yueyang's former residence."

The crazy woman nodded blankly, then suddenly started crying again as if she thought of something.

Now, no matter what Jiang Ning said, the woman stopped answering and just cried as if there was no one else around.

Seeing that he couldn't get the answer he wanted from the crazy woman, Jiang Ning stood up and scanned everything in the room.

Most of the furniture here is covered with dust because no one has used it. Only the soft couch near the door is not only free of dust, but also stained with a lot of dirt.

That should be where this crazy woman slept.

In the corner, Jiang Ning suddenly noticed a half-eaten bun.

Did someone specially bring food to this crazy woman?

Turning her head, Jiang Ning thought of the pebbles that suddenly flew towards her at the door just now.

The force of the stone was not strong, and it was not aimed at her fatal spot. It seemed that the other party just wanted to drive her away.

It seems that someone in the city lord's palace has been taking care of this crazy woman to prevent her from starving to death.

Thinking like this, Jiang Ning suddenly formed his spiritual sword and pointed it at the crazy woman's back.

Just as her spiritual sword was about to pierce the crazy woman's back, two stones flew out, one hit Jiang Ning's spiritual sword, and the other flew directly towards Jiang Ning's eyes.

Jiang Ning quickly retreated and dodged. After turning around, the spirit sword pointed at the crazy woman again.

Now, the person hiding in the dark couldn't sit still at all.

A figure quickly rushed into the yard from the door, stabbing Jiang Ning with a long sword, forcing Jiang Ning to take back the sword pointed at the crazy woman and turn to deal with the people who suddenly rushed in.

The two quickly fought together.

The crazy woman was frightened by the two men and ran back to the house, hiding under the table and shivering.

The person who fought against Jiang Ning was not strong enough to be in the spiritual realm. In just two rounds, Jiang Ning defeated him to the ground.

"You lured me out on purpose!" The man who was defeated by Jiang Ning said angrily.

With the strength of this masked man, if she really wanted to kill the crazy woman, he would never be able to stop her in time. Unfortunately, this masked man deliberately slowed down to lure him out.

Jiang Ning looked at the bald man in front of him and asked, "Are you the guard of the City Lord's Mansion?"

"What exactly do you want to do?" the bald man said angrily.

Jiang Ning directly pinched the bald man's chin and stuffed an unknown pill into the bald man's mouth.

"This is a poison I personally prepared. Only I can cure it. If you don't want to die, just answer my questions." Jiang Ning threatened the bald head.

"I won't tell you, just kill me!" the bald man said forcefully.

"So tough?" Jiang Ning asked with raised eyebrows.

"Humph." The bald man turned his head away and did not answer Jiang Ning.

"You're not afraid of death, what about her?" Jiang Ning's spiritual sword pointed at the crazy woman under the table and said.

Seeing that Jiang Ning wanted to attack the woman, the bald man became furious and said, "Don't hurt her!"

"Then answer my question, how long have you been in the City Lord's Mansion?" Jiang Ning asked.

If looks could kill, Jiang Ning might have been insulted by the bald man hundreds of times.

After a long silence, the bald man gritted his teeth and said, "23 years."

"It seems that you are an old man from the City Lord's Mansion. Where were you when City Lord Yue died a year ago?" Jiang Ning continued to ask.

When the bald man heard Jiang Ning ask about the Yue City Lord, he immediately became excited, "What on earth do you want to do!"

Jiang Ning held down the bald man and said softly, "I want to find out the cause of the death of Lord Yue City."

These words made the bald man struggle for a moment, and then he laughed out loud.

"Just you? The dog bought by Chen Ke with money? Why should I trust you?"

The bald man said something unpleasant, and Jiang Ning gave him a big blow on the head.

"speak politely."

"..."

"I heard that a year ago, Chen Ke led a large number of City Lord's Mansion guards to witness Yueyang killing Yue City Lord. Were you among them at that time?"

“It was not Mr. Yue who killed the Lord of Yue City!”
