Tie Si had altered her voice; it was quite hoarse and, although somewhat different from the Master’s, she could easily claim it was due to recent illness. If that didn’t work, she could concoct a story, saying her throat had been poisoned by the now-deceased Gu Girl Lu Yinyin. In any case, everything was ready, just waiting for the Seventh Princess to arrive. The Mist Capital was as usual, yet it saw the arrival of an uninvited group. Naturally, this was the team led by the Seventh Princess. They had traveled over mountains and rivers to reach the Mist Capital, only to be blocked outside by its sentries. "Do you know who our highness is! You scoundrels, how dare block our highness’s path, you are bold indeed!" The one who came out shouting belonged to the Seventh Princess’s camp. But inside the carriage, the Seventh Princess frowned slightly with displeasure upon hearing this person’s arrogance. She pulled aside the curtain and signaled to her trusted aide. The next moment, the trusted aide drew a longsword, and with a swish, sliced off the head of the arrogant person. The aide cursed as such, then sheathed the longsword and returned to the Seventh Princess’s side. Through the curtain of the carriage, the Seventh Princess spoke softly, "I, Ji Liuli, humbly request the presence of the Lord of Mist Capital." The faces of the sentries on duty paled somewhat. The presence of these people was truly terrifying, and they were utterly ruthless, showing no hesitation or mercy even towards their own. Hence, the sentries hurried to report the news to the City Lord at the Bell Tower. Tie Si had actually long been aware of the intelligence, and she was clear about the Seventh Princess’s movements, yet she pretended to know nothing. Not until the Seventh Princess requested a meeting did she leisurely emerge from the Bell Tower. Standing behind her were Tie Yi and other Tie Slaves. By the time they reached the city gate of the Mist Capital, the Seventh Princess was already feeling restless. The trusted aide took out a wheelchair, then carried the Seventh Princess out of the carriage, placing her in the wheelchair. The Seventh Princess couldn’t help but clench her fists. Her gaze was sharp, fixed straight on Tie Si. "May I ask, are you the Lord of the Mist Capital?" Tie Si maintained an unyielding demeanor, mimicking the Master’s usual behavior with a cold and indifferent manner: "I’ve long heard of the Seventh Princess’s renowned name, but I wonder what brings you here, Your Highness." This hoarse male voice was unfamiliar to the Seventh Princess. She had once sent someone to the Golden Triangle to plant the Mind-Bewitching Gu’s Child Gu in Liang Zhichen’s body. Those acquainted with such arts knew that the Mind-Bewitching Gu was a type of Love Gu. A pair of Child and Mother, the Child Gu controlled by the Mother Gu. But there were also some secrets, rarely known to people. The Seventh Princess took out an exquisite golden box from her sleeve. When she opened it, there lay a green Gu insect, no larger than a fingernail, perched on thick mulberry leaves. The Seventh Princess glanced at the Gu, which was the Mother Gu of the Mind-Bewitching Gu. The Seventh Princess seemed to ponder over something, but then she smiled and said, "I happened to pass by the Mist Capital and heard the Lord of Mist Capital governs the city well. I come boldly to disturb for a bit, hoping to learn from the City Lord." She spoke in a lofty, elegant manner, yet no one believed such nonsense. Tie Si and the others presumed that after much planning, their arrangements were thorough enough. Yet they didn’t realize that with just a face-to-face encounter, due to the Mother Gu of the Mind-Bewitching Gu, the Seventh Princess already knew the person before her wasn’t who she had imagined to be the Lord of the Mist Capital.
