"…Even though it seems like all the clues have been lost…"
Li Feng paused, then continued in a low voice.
"The mastermind would never have thought about this… that I still have one last clue left."
Yue Lan's hands paused slightly.
"One last clue?"
Li Feng looked up at her and smiled.
He reached out, gently cupping her cool, soft cheek with his palm.
Yue Lan instinctively nuzzled into his touch, her golden eyes half-closing in quiet enjoyment as she leaned closer.
Then Li Feng said in a low voice,
"At the border, when the Rain Pavilion assassins tried to kill General Zhang… Shadow captured one of them."
Yue Lan's eyes slowly opened wider.
Li Feng continued, his thumb lightly brushing her cheek.
"I didn't kill her. I kept her. She's currently sealed inside my special world treasure."
Yue Lan stared at him in genuine surprise.
"…You captured a Rain Pavilion assassin and brought her back?"
Li Feng gave a small nod.
