Chapter 1436: Chapter 1436: More Important than Those Others

"Do you see it?"

Lin Caisang looked at Ban Yilu, then raised her hand to let her take a look at the broken sword in her own hand.

"Apart from the key in my hand, no one can unlock this iron chain unless," she paused, "they chop off your hands and feet, Ban Yilu. You might try to escape and see for yourself."

Hearing this, Ban Yilu glared at her, biting her red lips without speaking.

She had thought it was just an ordinary iron chain, but she hadn’t expected... Why did Lin Caisang always have something a little unexpected in her possession?

"Take her away. Since she can’t speak, then let her write out whatever she has to say," Lin Caisang directed her gaze steadily at Ban Yilu and commanded Nangong Piao’er and the others.

"If I remember correctly, the Forbidden Speech Technique only silences the mouth, but her hands are not restrained. A person from the Illusion Continent can’t possibly be illiterate, right?"

Ban Yilu: "..."

She had truly underestimated this woman, Lin Caisang. It was indeed beyond expectation.

"Lin Caisang, why have you become entangled with Sui Zimo!" Ban Yilu exclaimed.

If it was just Sui Zimo, she might have been able to extricate herself from this predicament, but she had unfortunately come across Lin Caisang as well. Together, these two seemed to see through everything.

"How exactly did you find us!" she demanded.

"Hmm?"

Lin Caisang raised an eyebrow upon hearing her accusatory tone.

So, it wasn’t that Ban Yilu had deliberately revealed a flaw to her last time; she had actually found them out, hadn’t she?

And Ban Yilu, she just wanted Ya Jinghong and the others to fail their mission without any intention of helping her own Brother Molian. Therefore, she needn’t be overly kind-hearted towards Ban Yilu.

"That’s not for you to know."

What difference would it make if she were told? Did she think she could use that to her advantage?

"Piao’er, Beidou, make sure to keep a close watch on her. She is far more important than the others," she turned to Nangong Piao’er and the group, giving them her instructions.

"Yes, Mistress," the four replied, watching Lin Caisang depart.

...

Jianan City.

Several days had passed since Lin Changhong and Lin Chushui left, but the Elder Princess had just received another message from the Nine Lotus Hall.

This time, the person delivering the message handed the carrier pigeon’s missive directly to the Elder Princess, indicating that the content was probably not suitable to be conveyed orally.

The Elder Princess slowly unfolded the paper in her hand, looked at it carefully, and then... a slight twitch started at the corners of her mouth and, wordlessly, she looked up at the roof of her residence.

"My son-in-law must have grown two heads, hasn’t he?" she murmured with a sigh.

But it was good. Those with two heads always had more ideas than those with just one, far shrewder, and not so easily outwitted by others.

"Go reply that this matter will be appropriately arranged by me."

Even though this was her own daughter’s matter, she, as a mother, hadn’t even figured it out yet. The son-in-law had already passed the buck to his mother-in-law. Thinking about it, it didn’t feel quite right.

Yet indeed, only by arranging it this way could her daughter’s future be well looked after.

"Yes, Elder Princess. I shall take my leave," the messenger replied and then departed.

"Auntie, Brother Molian sent a message. Is there an emergency?" Lin Changfeng asked while standing beside the Elder Princess.
