With surprise, she lifted her head and gave him a puzzled glance.

“Keep it with you, as a precaution,” he said.

“It’s… a gift from you?” Lin Caisang said, her mouth wide opened in shock.

He had actually come to give her something. What was going on with this man? Why was he being so kind to her for no reason? Looking down again at the dagger in her hand, she saw that it was embedded with a jewel. Clearly, it was an extremely expensive item.

He had just given it to her?

“Hmm.”

Without a backwards glance, Ya Molian opened the window and swiftly jumped out.

Lin Caisang: “…”

He had jumped in from the window, but she clearly remembered the window had been firmly shut. How did he open it from outside?

Could it be that this man was tired of pretending in front of her and had decided to slowly reveal his true identity? Otherwise, how could Ya Molian ever afford such an exquisite dagger with his usual hunting and harvesting of cubilose?

“That guy, I haven’t even thanked him yet, and he just left,” she murmured, not feeling guilty for accepting such a valuable gift. Having been hunted down twice with barely a moment to catch her breath, having a dagger for self-defense was definitely a good idea.

Yet a dagger of such quality was typically a collector’s item. It seemed a shame to use it against an enemy.

With the dagger tightly clutched in hand, she vanished into her golden jewel space.

…

“Lord, I have released information on Zhou Liang to Lin…”

Back at Ya Molian’s home, Zhe Jue was reporting on the day’s activities to him. Such petty matters weren’t things his master should concern himself with, in his opinion.

But his master seemed to derive great joy from these mundane tasks, leaving him at a loss for words.

His report was interrupted by his master.

“No need.”

Ya Molian made the declaration without looking at him.

Zhe Jue: “…”

My lord, are you playing with your subordinate?

You say it’s unnecessary now? Do you know that I risked being discovered by Lin Caisang just to leak this information?

Lin Caisang, who looked so simple on the surface, was extremely shrewd. Just by hearing a few words from Lin Changhong, she nearly discovered their agents in Ya Village.

I really have to admire her.

“Go to Wei Commandery and bring back some ink stones. Remember, they must be of good quality,” Ya Molian instructed.

Zhe Jue: “!!!”

Lord, what are you planning now? Those ink stones are useless, aren’t they?

Moreover, Wei Commandery is in Wei State, and we are in Liang Kingdom! Is it really fine to transport the useless ink stones all the way from Wei State?

“Lord, those ink stones…”

“Hmm?”

Ya Molian’s black eyes narrowed, looking at him.

“I will get on it right away, Lord. How many ink stones do you need?” Zhe Jue hastily asked.

“Ship over…a cartload for now,” Ya Molian said after some thought, still sounding uncertain.

He wasn’t sure what purpose the ink stones would serve for Little Sang. Did she need a large quantity? It would be better to ship some over for her to confirm whether this was what she wanted. If so, more could always be shipped over later.

“A cartload!”

Zhe Jue looked speechlessly at the ceiling.

What could you do with a cartload of ink stones? Few people used them. Even bookshops rarely used them, and most artists preferred using ink-sticks. Why would anyone need these?
