1537 Nothing to Her Name

"Young Master, please do not play the part of a lowly maidservant next time. It will debase your identity," Baoyan prattled as she descended the stairs with him.

She had very much disapproved of the young master acting as this and that in order to approach Commandery Princess Yi'an.

It was fine that he had acted the part of Lady Xin Yu'er. At the very least, Lady Xin Yu'er was of a more noble status.

But this time, the young master had actually acted as Xu'er, that lowly maidservant. This truly disgusted Baoyan to death!

What virtues and capabilities did that darn lass possess to dare make the young master act as her. It truly was not unjust even if she were to die.

Baoyan's eyes flickered.

Let time rewind back to two hours ago. Xu'er, that lass, had hastily left to make some inquiries at the commandery princess's urging.

After she slipped into a small alley, Cult Master Ding, who was following her, knocked her unconscious with a chop of his hand.

Cult Master Ding squatted with a grin and personally undid the lass Xu'er's outer garment. After shapeshifting with the sound of cracking bones, Ding Yun's physique became as tall as Xu'er's, and his facial features had also become the same.

He leisurely put on Xu'er's outer garment and fastened the button. After arranging the same hairdo as Xu'er, Cult Master Ding then turned around with a smile and told the grumpy Baoyan, "Alright, first go to the teahouse to wait for me. I will come over after handling this."

"Young Master, why the need to go through so much trouble! Couldn't we just directly knock that Commandery Princess Yi'an unconscious and snatch all her valuables." Baoyan sniggered, "After all, that woman has very low cultivation. If we want to rob her, she has no choice but to submit."

"What do you understand. What's the point of doing that?" Cult Master Ding's eyes turned cold, and he gave Baoyan a warning look. "If you keep telling me what to do, don't follow me anymore."

Baoyan hastily apologized, "Young Master, I know my mistake. Baoyan has spoken out of turn."

"Humph." Cult Master Ding knitted his brows before suddenly explaining with a smile, "It's more fun this way! Look, Yi'an had originally thought that by clutching onto this straw, she would not sink for the time being. Yet who knew that Xu'er, her personal maidservant, would run off with her belongings. Ahaha, how entertaining would Yi'an's expression be at that time! She would have nothing to her name in the future. Muahaha."

It really was a wonder how Cult Master Ding had developed such a wicked sense of humor.

"Alright, I won't be saying more. Go to the teahouse, while I go meet Yi'an."

"Young Master, then what about this lass?"

"Whatever, she can leave by herself after she wakes up. She is after all a luckless child!"

After the young master had left, the lass Baoyan looked down at the unconscious Xu'er, with a trace of disgust and indignation showing on her lips. She hastily ran onto the main road and stopped a patrolling guard, exclaiming, "Big Brother, I saw a wanted criminal over there!"

It was nighttime.

After briefing the twelfth prince about a bunch of things in the study, Crown Prince Mo looked at him and asked, "Yu'er, have you remembered everything that Eldest Brother has said."

Mo Yu looked at the crown prince with a pitiful little expression. "Eldest Brother, you really are going to leave?"

The crown prince nodded.

This matter could not be delayed any further. He had originally wanted to wait until he personally saw his little fellow go up the heaven-ascension stairs, yet it looked like there was not enough time for that.

"Yu'er, these are the tokens for the Hidden Night Pavilion and the Dragon Saliva Guard. Keep them safe." Mo Lian then tossed two jade tablets into Mo Yu's hands.
