The two of them combed the valley for a long time, hardly seeing any living creatures. They occasionally heard the howls of wild wolves, but this desolate place, brimming with vicious snakes and fierce beasts, was not somewhere ordinary people could venture.

Being a cautious person by nature, Lin Jinyu felt uneasy after several visits.

But, rack his brain as he may, he could never have imagined that it was a fiery red Little Kingfisher joking with him.

It surreptitiously issued orders to the birds and animals to avoid the two agile humans, saving their precious lives.

Their hunting excursions lacking excitement, the two gradually visited less frequently.

Originally, they’d planned to take a leisurely stroll around Woniu Village and visit Wang Meng’s home to greet his family, but they decided against it due to the peculiar hunting trips.

Su Qingluo was unaware of Little Kingfisher’s covert activities, often asking it to investigate matters related to the Duke of Zhen’s residence.

The Noble Lord’s secret overtures to the Duke’s household and his past in the Beiming Kingdom gradually surfaced as the investigations progressed.

“The Noble Lord possesses the Innate Charm, inherited from his mother. She was from the Wu Clan – a clan with extraordinary abilities and numerous powers that have been passed down from the ancient times.”

“The Innate Charm is usually passed down to daughters, not sons, but the Noble Lord is an exception who inherited his mother’s special abilities.”

“Unfortunately, this capability did not give him any advantages. Instead, it made him a target of coercion and forced him to practice enchanting arts from a young age. At the age of seventeen, he was presented to the King of Beiming by the Wu Clan’s Great Elder.”

“The King of Beiming is ruthless, bloodthirsty, and has long harbored ambitions to annex neighboring nations. The Noble Lord’s Innate Charm is just what he needs to send him to Fengqi to charm the Empress and cause chaos.”

Little Kingfisher, a notorious teaser, was excellent in probing secrets, and its sources of information were absolutely reliable.

“So it’s clear then, he must be a spy for the Beiming Kingdom.”

Upon hearing this, Su Qingluo’s brow furrowed in concern.

“Indeed, he arrived in Fengqi on the orders of the King of Beiming and has done many things under his command.”

“However, since the birth of the Little Prince, his cold heart has felt a rare warmth. To prevent his own child from being subjected to coercion like he once was, he has gradually rebelled and escaped from the control of the King of Beiming.”

Little Kingfisher honestly reported, “The Black Wolf Guard wanted to seize the Little Prince as a means to coerce the Noble Lord into continuing their servitude.”

Su Qingluo’s gaze grew dark, “What’s his purpose in trying to woo the Duke’s household?”

“Well, it could be because….”

Little Kingfisher hesitated slightly, “He wanted to use the military power of the Lin Clan to resist the King of Beiming. Beiming and Fengqi are in conflict, the borders are unstable, and there are frequent minor wars.”

“The Lin Clan’s forces are brave and expert fighters, making them the archenemies of the ambitious King of Beiming who wishes to annex neighboring kingdoms. In the fight against Beiming, he and the Duke’s House share temporary common interests against a common enemy.”

“This man is unpredictable and scheming, he cannot be trusted.”

Su Qingluo was cautious, “He was able to betray Beiming, and he could just as easily betray the Duke’s house.”

“For now, at least, for the sake of Xuan’er, he’s dared to openly oppose Beiming. This is good news for Fengqi.”

Little Kingfisher didn’t seem to care much, “Human intentions are difficult to gauge and easily changeable. We don’t need to worry too much as long as he’s not opposing the Duke’s house.”

“We will have to take it one step at a time.”

Su Qingluo sighed regretfully, “Keep the birds watching closely. If there are any unusual movements from Noble Lord, inform me immediately.”

“Alrighty!”

Little Kingfisher agreed readily.

Being a godly beast with omnipotent powers, it was surprisingly idle, to the point of lethargy.

Having important tasks to attend to was also a great way to kill time during its otherwise dull routine.
