Any intelligent person can understand it with just a little hint.

But Liu was clearly not.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Yang Ruqing felt her reminder was like talking to a cow, and Madam Liu's interest was clearly in the small sesame balls on the table.

Here's the translation, remembering that I only translate text and leave HTML tags untouched: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

With her skillful speech, she ate half of the small fried dough sticks.

And she was still sitting there, continuing to eat, clearly not planning on leaving until she finished.

“Auntie Four, it seems you really like this little sesame twist. Take the rest back home to eat, okay? I have something else to attend to here, so I won’t keep you.”

Yang Ruqing was no longer patient enough to waste time chatting with her. She had to get rid of her quickly so she could ask Xiaoyu some other questions.

After being sent away, Liu Shi pouted unhappily.

But when she heard Yang Ruqing ask her to take all the remaining mahua, Liu suddenly felt happy again.

"Alright, alright, I won't keep you from your serious business. I'll come visit another day."

Seeing Liu's fear that Yang Ruqing might change her mind, she immediately stood up, untied her mouth cover, and picked up the plate, scooping it all down in one go.

Running to the yard, Liu shi didn't forget to turn her head and shout to Yang Ruqing in the main hall: "Ruqing, that thing, I'm going to town tomorrow, and I'll bring some delicious food for Chen er and his two siblings!"

Yang Ruqing smiled and replied, "Thank you." After Liu Shi walked away, Yang Ruqing retracted her gaze.

Xiaoyu was still staring blankly at the doorway, as if she hadn't come back to her senses.

“My aunt by marriage is like this. She's a country girl who likes to take advantage of little things all her life, being sneaky and dishonest, but she's not really an evil person.”

Yang Ruqing and Xiaoyu smiled as they explained.

Xiaoyu finally came to her senses. She smiled sheepishly and said, “I was surprised because Auntie Si’s way of speaking and acting before was a bit like my aunt.”

“Although I was only a little over four years old at the time, my aunt had a profound impact on me. She was also like that, and my mother often worried about it.”

When talking about past events in her own family, a slight smile appeared on Xiaoyu's face.

But the great fire burned everything down, dear mother, and the greedy aunt...

"If I could, I'd rather have them live well all the time, even if it means taking a little advantage, it wouldn't hurt anyone much, would it?"

"At least, everyone is alive and well, they are all real people, with blood and flesh..."

"Little Jade, let the past be the past. Don't dwell on it anymore," Yang Ruqing interrupted Little Jade in a timely manner.

If this keeps going, I'm afraid she'll get stuck in a rut and be in pain for a while.

Xiaoyu nodded, then turned her head to secretly wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

When she turned back, her face had returned to normal. "Qinger jie, let's get back to business. About the Black Lotus Cult members hiding in the mountain, I know how they're concealing themselves!"

"Shh!" Yang Ruqing motioned for Xiaoyu to be quiet, then got up cautiously and peeked out the door before returning to the main room.

"Just tell me everything you know." Yang Ruqing said.

Xiao Yu organized her thoughts and said, "When I was still in the Black Lotus Sect, the sect leader, also known as General Tian Gong, hadn't died yet."

As a saint, although I am merely a symbol or an ornament placed on the altar by them,

"But to some extent, I can still get access to some of the core practices within the sect,"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! ?

“Especially that day, General Gong trusted me for a while. I even helped the Black Lotus Sect and offered strategies. The siege of Lit City was...”

"So, I know that the Black Lotus Sect has sent out many disciples, both male and female, young and old,"

"They disguised themselves as all sorts of people, merchants, farmers, traveling doctors, teachers, and many more,"

“Sometimes they would go in alone, infiltrate a town, or a village,”

Sometimes, a few people work together in groups and infiltrate a certain village or town.

For the mission, they sometimes pretended to be strangers, but at other times, they could infiltrate as father and son, brothers, sisters, or husband and wife.

In short, once they infiltrate a place, they quickly blend in with the locals and live just like them, rising with the sun and resting when it sets.

“Some even marry and have children locally, or give birth to their children on behalf of others. No matter how the government tries to investigate, they can never be linked to the Black Lotus Sect.”

"But actually, they are undercover agents from the Black Lotus Cult, loyal to it their whole lives."

"And to my knowledge, a force of this kind was originally sent to the area around Mianniushan."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

“Moreover, these were personnel personally appointed by the Lord Tian Gong General himself. During their time within the sect, they were considered loyal confidants of the Lord Tian Gong General.”

They were sent by the Master to lurk in the Niuniu Mountain area, tasked with a special mission that would take an extremely long time, perhaps three to five years.

“At that time, I only knew about this matter, and I was still surprised that the leader had sent his most trusted force away. Wouldn't the sect be weakened without them?”

“But the Master said that if this power could complete the tasks he assigned, then reviving the Black Lotus Sect and even overthrowing the Great Qi royal family would be just around the corner!”

"At that time, I was shocked and even more curious about what the job was. Now, I finally understand."

“As it turns out, the leader had sent his most trusted followers out to steal a tomb!”

After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Yang Ruqing fell silent. In her mind, she was rapidly analyzing everything, piecing it all together...

Xiaoyu knew Yang Ruqing was thinking about the problem, so she tactfully kept silent.

After a moment, Yang Ruqing said: "Two things are evident. First, the Black Lotus Sect's internal finances are depleted and not as abundant as we imagined."

“To raise an army and march north to formally declare war on the state of Qi, we lack the financial resources and supplies. Therefore, we urgently need to expand our sources of revenue, so we've set our sights on tomb raiding.”

"The second point is that there must be many large tombs in Mianniushan, and there are treasures inside!"

When mentioning that there was stock available, Yang Ruohua leaned lazily back in her chair, her eyes slightly narrowed.

She remembered the tomb of the former queen, and the legendary sword Mo Xie.

The tomb must be of extraordinary value for the Black Lotus Sect's leader to dispatch his elite forces to steal it.

Given the state of the mountain collapse, I wonder how Black Lotus Sect's tomb raiding went.

Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing suddenly sat up and asked Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, what if the group of people sent by the leader really infiltrated as villagers in these ten miles and eight villages, and those small villages in the mountain valleys,"

"Do these people know that the Master has passed away?" she asked.

Xiao Yu shook her head firmly. "Definitely not."

"Why are you so sure? The death of the leader would be a major event for the Black Lotus Sect." Yang Ruqing said.
