He sighed softly and looked at An Jiuyue seriously.

“Will this affect you significantly?” he asked.

“It won’t.” An Jiuyue shook her head.

She did not lose many points, but the points lost meant that someone else was dying!

However, finding someone would be difficult if they were too discreet. After all, Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue were humans, not gods. How could they predict where the culprits were?

“Master, are you sure it doesn’t affect you significantly?” Wei Na’s puzzled voice sounded in her mind.

It might not have had a significant impact yet, but the culprits were still experimenting with the poison. If they used the poison to kill large groups of people, An Jiuyue would face unpredictable consequences.

An Jiuyue looked up and asked Wei Na, “What else am I supposed to say?”

Besides, it would not be easy to find them now.

“I don’t believe they’re from Li Kingdom. Even Qian Jiyun won’t believe it. They’re using Li Kingdom as a cover to commit the heinous crime of murdering their countrymen!” she said angrily.

Wei Na was speechless.

So Master already guessed that they’re not from Li Kingdom! However, Prince Lei Ting, that big idiot, is clearly unaware. He even believed he was collaborating with Li Kingdom to seize Da Qing Kingdom in the future!

“Are we not investigating anymore?” Wei Na asked.

An Jiuyue remained silent. It would not be easy to investigate this matter.

The culprits had already hidden. Given the slower drop in points over the past few days, they had become even more discreet.

Investigating the disappearance of more than a hundred people was easy, but how were they supposed to investigate the disappearance of one or two people?

No matter how hard they tried, they would not be able to find anything.

“Those people won’t be at the border anymore.”

They would have fled long ago. After all, they lacked control over the border. Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue have also never met them before, so finding them would be even more difficult.

“What do you plan to do with Prince Lei Ting?” she asked, looking up at Qian Jiyun.

“It’s not a matter of what I plan to do,” Qian Jiyun admitted bluntly.

An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows again. “That’s true.”

After all, Qian Jiyun was only a prince of the second rank—he could not do much.

However, they knew Prince Lei Ting would have a hard time in the coming days.

“I have a miracle drug to treat the epidemic disease. The disease won’t spread no matter what, even if it is not cured. Do you want it?” she asked.

Qian Jiyun chuckled. “Do you not want to hear Prince Lei Ting’s name that much?”

Qian Jiyun did not want to hear that name either. His actions left them too speechless.

Prince Lei Ting should not have been born into the royal family—he was simply worthless and inept.

How could someone like him have the audacity to covet the throne? What a joke!

“It’s not that I don’t want to hear his name. I just don’t want more trouble,” An Jiuyue said.

Although those people had left, they might use Prince Lei Ting to cause trouble again.

Besides, there was never peace along the border. This place saw many storms brew. How many disasters had Qian Jiyun faced here?

“Save the medicine. It… doesn’t matter if he dies,” Qian Jiyun said calmly.

If Prince Lei Ting’s death was enough to defeat Qian Jiyun, he would have wasted all the years he spent at the border. He did, however, need to leave the border for a while.

“I might have to return to the capital in a few days. Do you want to come with me?”
