After going up to the second floor, Ye Yuxi walked straight to the innermost room on the left. She swept through those rooms with her mental energy. No one was there. It seemed that she had made some preparations.
Shi Qing also followed Ye Yuxi to the second floor, but Shi Qing did not enter the house. He stood in the corridor and casually formed a spiritual barrier to isolate the few who tried to pry.
Ye Yuxi stood outside the door, took a breath, and pushed the door open. The scene inside the room made Ye Yuxi's pupils shrink slightly.
The room was quite elegantly decorated, with a snow-white animal skin spread on the floor, but now most of the animal skin was stained red with blood.
There was a corpse lying on the floor, face down, with red blood flowing out from under him. Beside him, stood a man in black.
"Shadow?" Ye Yuxi frowned subconsciously when she saw the person in the room.
"This subordinate has no choice but to invite the young lady to come up in this way, and I hope that the young lady will atone for her sins." When Shadow saw Ye Yuxi, he casually formed a barrier to protect the surroundings, and immediately knelt down on one knee.
Ye Yuxi glanced at the corpse on the ground again: "Get up and talk, what's going on with this man on the ground?"
Shadow stood up and stood there, bowed slightly and said: "Miss Qi, this person is not from Yaowang Valley. He probably wants to harm the lady. He originally booked this room."
"Then the waiter outside..." Ye Yuxi narrowed her eyes.
"The waiter in the shop should be fine. There are a lot of spies outside, so my subordinates have no choice but to use their tricks." Shadow whispered.
Ye Yuxi recalled the waiter's demeanor and found that there was indeed nothing wrong with it. He changed the question: "Did he ask you to bring anything?"
"The young master asked me to hand over this letter to the young lady. In addition, he asked me to tell the young lady not to meddle in other people's business in the outer city. There may be elders who secretly want to embarrass the young lady." Shadow said, placing an envelope on the ground with both hands.
Ye Yuxi frowned and took the envelope and asked, "How is the poison in your young master's body?"
"The blood poison in the young master's body has been initially suppressed. If there is no accident, it should not relapse within a year. Please rest assured, young lady." After Shadow finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and took out a bunch of keys from his arms.
"Huh? This is..."
Ye Yuxi's eyes were stunned again.
Shadow put the key on the ground with both hands, "The young master said that the young lady should rest in the outer city for a day or two. This is the yard arranged by the young master for you. The young master will come to find you in two days."
Ye Yuxi hesitated for a moment, but did not pick up the bunch of keys and said: "Elders of Yaowang Valley, are you giving Bai Jinyi a hard time?"
"This... subordinates don't know." Shadow bowed and stood solemnly, his voice a little weak.
Ye Yuxi glanced at Shadow and took the key from his hand, "You can leave if you have nothing else to do."
"My subordinates, please leave." Shadow cupped his hands towards Ye Yuxi, turned around and wanted to leave from the window. As soon as he reached the bed, Shadow turned back again and reached out to grab the body on the ground.
"Put him here and I'll take care of it." Ye Yuxi's heart moved inexplicably when she saw the corpse, and she hurriedly spoke out.
"I understand, miss." Shadow straightened up, shook his shoulders, and disappeared into the room.
The windows were wide open, and the bloody smell in the house dissipated a little.
Ye Yuxi leaned over and looked at the corpse on the ground. He scanned the corpse several times with his mental power. He found no weapons or special signs. He couldn't tell which force it belonged to. There was not even a space ring on his hand.
Ye Yuxi touched the body's arms and sleeves and found nothing suspicious.
"Strange... If the other party wants to harm me, it's impossible to send someone weaker than Shadow, let alone with bare hands..."
Ye Yuxi stood up full of doubts and stepped on something.
