Chapter 754: The Orchestrator behind the Assassinations Confesses

After Si Mobai finished speaking, everyone finally started to lift their heads up one by one. When they saw Feng Tianlan sitting next to the head of the table, and when they noticed her devastating beauty as well as her cold and imposing demeanor, they were all stunned.

Her Highness had been found?

When did Master find her?

Why hadn’t they heard such news? At present, everyone had been dispatched to search for Her Highness. In the end, she had been in Bailan Alliance all along?

Feng Tianlan scrutinized the four people seated below. There were three men and one woman, and they were all around 20 years of age. Each of them had outstanding appearances, and they were not wearing the Bailan Alliance uniform. Instead, a white orchid was stitched at the corner of their collars.

“These are the four Elders of the Bailan Alliance…” Si Mobai introduced the four people to Feng Tianlan.

Once Si Mobai finished the introductions, the four of them knelt on one knee simultaneously, clasping their hands together in greeting. “These subordinates greet Her Highness.”

Feng Tianlan glanced at the four of them. These young chaps were actually Elders?

“There are still four Grand Elders who hold higher positions. These four will become Grand Elders in the future,” Si Mobai explained to Feng Tianlan.

Feng Tianlan acknowledged his words softly. Her eyes fell on the sole female of the group, and she asked Si Mobai, “What’s her name?”

“Don’t know.” Si Mobai shook his head faintly. Apart from Lan’er, what was the point in knowing the names of other women?

The man beside the woman helped to answer her question, saying, “Replying to Her Highness, her name is Gao Sijia.”

“Gao Sijia?” Feng Tianlan raised her brows slightly.

“Indeed.”

Feng Tianlan spoke up. “Lift your head up. Let me have a look.”

Gao Sijia, whose head was bowed, furrowed her brows. But in the end, she still raised her head and looked at Feng Tianlan.

Feng Tianlan appraised her. She had a wide, square face and large, incomprehensible eyes and a cold and detached expression on her face. However, she seemed to have the attitude of a cold beauty.

“Lan’er, are you sowing wild oats in front of your husband?” When Si Mobai saw her staring so fixedly at another person, his jealousy flared up almost instantly.

Gao Sijia hastily lowered her head.

Feng Tianlan retracted her gaze with a smile. “Doesn’t Mobai have things to do? I’ll stand at the side to watch. You can attend to your matters.”

She didn’t know if it was because Gao Sijia was the only female in the group, but she had put her guard up against her, and she couldn’t bring herself to like the woman.

Si Mobai glanced at her warmly before retrieving two mission slips, each with a stipulated reward. He tossed them down and said in an icy cold voice, “This King wanted you to find Her Highness. But how did the search team turn into assassins?”

Feng Tianlan was a little stumped as she looked at Si Mobai. She had not expected him to have started investigating.

One of the mission slips fell in front of Gao Sijia. It was the mission to assassinate, and when she saw the picturesque goddess in the painting, she knitted her brows.

“Master…”

Si Mobai did not wait for them to finish speaking. He interjected coldly, “I’ll give you all three days. If your investigation bears no fruit, then everyone will be sent to the torture chamber.”

His icy cold voice caused chills to run down their spine. “Yes.”

The torture chamber was an extremely frightening place, and anyone who went in was unlikely to come out alive. What’s more, they would lose their will to live, yet they would not be allowed to die. That place could be said to be a living hell.

Gao Sijia glanced at the assassin mission slip on the ground and pressed her forehead to the floorboards. In a calm voice, she said, “Master, there’s no need to investigate. This subordinate issued this mission and the reward.”

When Feng Tianlan heard this, she looked at her in astonishment. The other three people were also shocked. “Sijia?”

Gao Sijia remained motionless, and her head was still plastered to the ground. “Outside Lin’an City, this subordinate dispatched 100 assassins and ordered them not to let Feng Tianlan in at all cost. And a thousand miles from the city, this subordinate offered a bounty that stipulated that anyone who saw Feng Tianlan should kill her at first sight!”
