Plan A
Gift of the Spring Breeze 2
Qin Yi
Feelings are mysterious things, sometimes there’s simply no way to control them.
Su Xin clapped her hands and leaped down from the branch.
She is not like the original owner; as long as she can secretly watch from behind, her heart is satisfied.
Anyway, she doesn’t like Qin Yi, so she can act with complete swagger.
First, get familiar, then talk, and always follow Qin Yi to ensure he doesn’t get into any big trouble.
Qin Yi belongs to the Six Doors, a divine constable, quite famous, chivalrous, and loyal to the court.
The name Qin Yi might not be known to many people, but the name of the divine constable Qian Xing can be said to be well-known.
This nickname originates from him chasing a big thief from one end of the country to the other, riding alone for a thousand li, becoming mythologized as traveling a thousand li in one day, thus earning the nickname Qian Xing.
Su Xin is on a bustling street; although she is not a little fairy, she also drinks dew and does not need to eat, but now she smells the street’s fragrance and food and becomes gluttonous.
Su Xin swallowed her saliva; there’s no way, no money.
She walked with her head lowered and hidden towards a place, and the further she walked, the more deserted it became, until she knew there were no sounds of passersby around.
Su Xin raised her head, and the three big characters of “Six Doors” suddenly entered her eyes.
The Six Doors is usually a general term for the Three Judicial Offices, and there is a saying that the government office’s six doors are open, but if you have reason without money, do not come in.
However, in this world, it has become a special and separate institution directly belonging to the emperor, with the emperor’s orders bestowed upon it, making it very remarkable.
Whenever the Six Doors take action, there must be the emperor’s decree.
Anyone with a bit of insight has studied the few people inside the Six Doors, to avoid being investigated one day without realizing it.
【Host… what are you going to do?】
Reveal the cards, ah.
Qin Yi has a certain nature, being suspicious and loves to think.
No matter what kind of face or identity appears beside him, he will suspect them, not to mention Su Xin, who is supposed to always follow him, so it’s better to clarify things early.
Su Xin is invisible, swaggering as she walked in from the doorway, and the two guards holding swords at the door were completely unaware.
This kind of feeling is really not bad.
The original owner had peeped for a long time before, so Su Xin naturally knows where Qin Yi lives.
Qin Yi is taking a nap, and after feeling the delight of passing through the wall, Su Xin stood beside Qin Yi’s bed.
Qin Yi is deeply asleep, completely unaware.
Su Xin pinched her chin and praised in her heart, this Qin Yi indeed looks good, his nose is defined, his eyes are clear, and just with his appearance, he can capture many people’s hearts, not to mention he also has real skills and a good personality.
Su Xin sat on a chair in the room, manifested, and poured herself a cup of tea.
The tea was just brought to her lips when she heard a pleasant male voice from behind.
“Who might you be, with such interest in drinking tea in my room?”
Qin Yi looked at the girl drinking tea with her back to him, becoming extremely alert.
Unexpectedly being able to enter the Six Doors without disturbing anyone, and into his room, this must be an extraordinary person.
A young girl’s figure, but with martial arts so high, could it be the already retired Qin Xiu from Jianghu?
Qin Xiu is already an old demon, but she refuses to admit her age, dislikes others calling her an old demon and granny, and despite her age, she still has a young girl’s figure, likes to wear bright clothes for young girls, known as a killer from behind, but her front view is… hard to describe.
Tsk, such a quick reaction.
Su Xin thought Qin Yi deserves a big calamity; this is indeed amazing, amazingly unusual.
Su Xin slowly drank a cup of tea, and when she looked at Qin Yi, she had already made a face that seemed about to cry but wasn’t, with an extremely excited appearance.
Qin Yi was stunned upon seeing Su Xin’s face and praised in his heart.
Unlike a mortal’s face, it is as beautiful as the bright moon.

The phrase “pear flower with rain” is used to praise a girl’s beautiful crying, revealing a gentle and lovable feeling.
The pear flower demon’s beauty naturally goes without saying, Su Xin even wants to hold a mirror to look at herself for an hour.
Suddenly making eye contact with an about-to-cry beautiful woman, Qin Yi was a bit confused.
“Young master, do you still remember a few years ago when you were handling a case and saved a pear tree?”
Qin Yi’s memory is very good, and he nodded.
“That was a good tree, so, young lady, are you the tree’s owner?”
It doesn’t seem possible, ah, obviously in a deep mountain old forest.
“I am the pear tree that was saved, and I have come to repay the kindness.”
Qin Yi was silent for a moment, not knowing why, there is always someone treating the divine constable as a fool; it would be better if she claimed to be the tree’s owner.
“Young Master Qin, you don’t believe?”
Qin Yi raised an eyebrow, showing his attitude.
Su Xin had no choice but to make him believe.
Su Xin snapped her fingers, and a branch of pear flowers appeared on the table, emitting a fragrance.
Qin Yi shrugged his shoulders, indicating Su Xin to continue.
Su Xin became invisible, walked to Qin Yi’s side, and reappeared.
“Young lady, your skills are impressive.”
Qin Yi frowned; if she is not a demon, then she must be an expert with exceptional martial prowess.
Su Xin rubbed her forehead, wondering why this young man just wouldn’t believe.
“What will it take for you to believe I am a demon? Got it!”
Su Xin grabbed Qin Yi’s hand and teleported to a secluded alley near a wonton shop.
Qin Yi was somewhat dazed but quickly reacted.
“You really are a demon?”
Qin Yi blankly looked at Su Xin. He had solved many cases and heard many strange stories, but this was the first time he had seen such a demon.
Is there really such a spirit monster in the world?
“Naturally, I will not deceive my benefactor. I have come to repay the kindness, so benefactor need not be nervous.”
“I think there is no need for the young lady to repay the kindness. Saving you was merely out of cherishing the tree, not because I wanted to gain anything.”
Qin Yi said gently, feeling the goodwill of the young lady in front of him, but he didn’t need her to follow by his side right now.
“It cannot be, benefactor is destined to face a calamity, and I don’t know the time or place, so I must follow you.”
Su Xin said seriously.
“I must protect you.”
Qin Yi faintly smiled; as a constable, it has always been his role to protect others.
“What is your name, young lady?”
Name… the original owner had not given herself a name.
“I am called Su Xin.”
Su Xin wrote those two characters in the air, where smoke appeared and then immediately dispersed.
“Did you give yourself this name?”
Qin Yi read the two characters once and asked the young girl in front of him, who looked confused.
“Yes.”
“It’s not a good name.”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Xin, the punishment knife, crime and fault, suffering, and toil.
“I know, but I like it.”
Su Xin waved her hand, unconcerned; it is indeed not a good word, but when her parents gave her this name, they already knew her fate.
They could not leave to stop it, and neither could their child.
Xin, the knife of extreme punishment.
“Young master, I have a request.”
Su Xin, smelling the fragrance in the air, extended her hand toward Qin Yi.
“What is it?”
“Reward me with money for a bowl of wontons, it seems very delicious.”
The gluttonous cat in Su Xin’s stomach began to act up.
“Here you go, by the way, for the past few days I’ve felt like someone has been secretly watching me, but despite many tests, I found nothing. Was it you?”
“Young master is indeed powerful.”
Su Xin praised insincerely, taking the money and getting ready to run.
“Wait.”
“What is it?”
“Your face is really too conspicuous.”
“Got it, watch me.”
Su Xin used a trick to make her face less conspicuous, then happily headed to the wonton shop.
Qin Yi returned to the Six Doors, and as he entered, the two guards at the gate were still wondering when the boss had gone out.
After finishing her wontons, Su Xin invisibly went to Qin Yi’s room, crossed her legs, and was very satisfied.
Even knowing that he has a big calamity in his fate, Qin Yi remained very calm.
“Miss Su, there are still many empty rooms in this Six Doors; you don’t need to hover around me all the time.”
Qin Yi felt a lot of pressure.
Even though Su Xin did not reveal any aura, having a big living person there was indeed conspicuous.
Moreover, even if she is a demon, a young lady hovering in his room is inappropriate.
“No problem, just pretend I don’t exist. If it’s really an issue, I can be invisible.”
Su Xin felt no fatigue and energetically looked at Qin Yi, indicating he could ignore her.
“Oh, someone is coming.”
After Su Xin said this, she became invisible.
Qin Yi realized that Su Xin must still be in the room and rubbed his temples.
A few moments later, Qin Yi also sensed the presence of someone coming and couldn’t help but admire the sharpness of the demon kind.
“What is the matter?”
“A secret order from His Majesty.”
Qin Yi received the secret order and tapped his fingers on the table.
The inspector of Yuanzhou suddenly died at home, supposedly from illness, but he was a chess piece in the emperor’s hand. However, the emperor’s spy reported that the inspector died in a well, and when the emperor wanted the spy to clarify, the spy also lost contact.
The inspector’s death is strange, the loss of contact with the spy is clearly a provocation, and the emperor wants him to investigate thoroughly. He is also to check if there are any disturbances in Yuanzhou and handle them accordingly.
The inspector died in his own home’s well, yet it is publicly stated he died from illness, which is truly suspicious.
The loss of contact with the emperor’s spy is the most suspicious of all.
“I want to go with you.”
Su Xin appeared and sat not far from Qin Yi, her expression full of interest.
Qin Yi propped his chin, indifferent to how the little demon might act.

The next day, Qin Yi greeted his colleagues at the Six Doors, took his small bundle, and rode his well-fed, strong horse, Lie Yun, on the road.
He galloped swiftly, while Su Xin leisurely followed him, effortlessly watching Qin Yi hurry.
After some rushing, Qin Yi arrived in Yuanzhou.
He did not go to his destination first; instead, he mingled in the marketplace to gather information.
Even though much of the information was a mix of truth and falsehood, it occasionally had useful value.
Su Xin went invisibly to the Inspector’s residence, where white mourning strips were hung, and it was heard that the new inspector would soon take office.
The inspector’s coffin was placed in the main hall, where someone was kneeling, wearing mourning clothes.
Su Xin pressed on the coffin and looked around the surroundings.
There is a heavy yin energy from the dead, and whether a ghost is present is still uncertain.
After all, demons and ghosts follow different paths; ghosts have the underworld to receive them, but demons do not.
They generally do not encounter each other, and when they do, it depends on whose ability is greater.
Ghosts only reveal themselves at night, so Su Xin circled around but couldn’t discern anything.
Once this person died, praise and scorn followed. Qin Yi heard many versions of the inspector’s affairs, with mixed reviews. Some said he was an honest and upright official, while others scolded him as a corrupt official. Some said he treated his wife extremely well, with love enduring for decades, while others claimed he was promiscuous and had a bad relationship with his original wife.
Qin Yi shook his head, finding it difficult to handle.
