The woman said, "We don't know his exact location yet, but we'll definitely find out if we investigate! The people sent by Uncle Feng said that the third of the Five Gentlemen of the White Jade Gate was seriously injured in the attack of the Soul-Hooking Envoys, and Xiao Changying's page was also poisoned. So they've been staying in Yizhou for the past few days, saying they'll wait until their injuries are healed and the poison is removed before continuing their journey to Jiangling."

"Seriously injured? Poisoned?" Xue Lianxi paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, as long as we investigate the famous doctors in Yizhou and see if they have made any unusual moves in the past few days, we will definitely be able to find out where Xiao Changying is hiding. But... there's not much time left."

Finding out Xiao Changying's location isn't enough; the key is to actually get hold of him.

If An Qingwan stayed by Xiao Changying's side, Xue Lianxi felt that even if she had three heads and six arms, there was absolutely no way she could take Xiao Changying away.

She had to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity when An Qingwan was not by Xiao Changying's side.

The opportunity will come tomorrow at 7 PM.

At that time, An Qingwan would never stay by Xiao Changying's side, because she was going to the banks of the Jinjiang River to discuss swordsmanship with the Three Eccentrics.

"Only then will I have a chance to take Xiao Changying away."

Xue Lianxi frowned.

The question is, in just over a day, can she really find Xiao Changying's current hiding place?

Who cares? Just do your best and leave the rest to fate!

"Go investigate! Send everyone out to investigate!"

Xue Lianxi immediately issued the order and personally joined the investigation.

From dawn to sunset, from sunset to moonset, from moonset to sunrise.

June 10th has arrived.

From the hour of Mao (5-7 AM), Chengdu became as bustling as if the New Year had already arrived.

The streets and alleys were packed with people.

Every street, every shop, is talking about the same two names—

An Qingwan and Yu Miaozhen!

Who will win the duel between the two?

no one knows.

But many people want to know.

This includes some veterans of the underworld who have long since retired from the criminal world, as well as some people who are involved in organized crime and whose faces are usually kept hidden.

Everyone who was following the sword duel was excited, except for Xue Lianxi.

It was already noon, but there was still no good news.

Xue Lianxi's heart was in turmoil.

The chaos was so intense that people were restless and started smashing cups.

This situation continued until the afternoon.

She had already given up all hope.

Just as darkness fell, a beautiful figure drifted over from afar, shouting in a hurried and shrill voice.

"Found it! Found it! It's near Chengdu!"

Standing amidst the shattered porcelain on the ground, Xue Lianxi suddenly froze.

Did they really find it?

At that moment, she felt a strong sense of unreality, and she even pinched her cheek to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

But she wasn't dreaming; she really did find Xiao Changying!

Once she came to her senses, Xue Lianxi rushed out of the house, gathered all her confidants, and headed straight for Xiao Changying's hiding place.

Now, she is just one step away from success.

But the more this happened, the calmer she became.

She didn't act impulsively; she was counting down the time, determined to make her move only when the hour of Xu (7-9 PM) arrived and the sword duel officially began.

"Senior Sister Xue, it's 7 PM now."

Xue Lianxi raised her head.

At this moment, the bright moon is already hanging in the sky.

Could Sanchi kill An Qingwan?

Xue Lianxi shook her head secretly.

Now is not the time to think about this.

She stood up and drew the knife from her waist: "Once we enter the bamboo forest, ignore everyone else. We only have one target—Xiao Changying!"

After saying that, she rushed into the bamboo forest first.

The others followed suit.

The group of people were all agile and nimble; their toes stepped over the fallen leaves without making a sound.

They rushed across two miles at top speed.

Before long, a bamboo house came into view, and candlelight shone faintly from a room on the left side of the bamboo house.

An Qingwan was indeed not in the bamboo house.

Sure enough, there was another person inside the bamboo house, a person dressed as a scholar.

Xue Lianxi let out a sharp, excited scream.

The whistling sound shook the entire bamboo forest.

The scholar-looking man inside the room paled drastically: "You...who are you? What do you want? I am protected by An Qingwan, the Goddess of Xiaoxiang. If you dare to lay a hand on me, what will become of you in the future..."

Boom!

Xue Lianxi slashed down with her sword, the sharp blade energy traveling several meters, actually cleaving the bamboo house into pieces.

She stepped into the room and stared intently at the scholar-looking man.

"It's you, Xiao Changying!"

"Xiao Changying" cried out in panic, "No, it wasn't me!"

Xue Lianxi completely ignored her and picked up "Xiao Changying" like a chick.

"go!"

Under the moonlight, in the bamboo forest, Xue Lianxi ran at an unbelievable speed.

She had never run so freely in her entire life.

She felt like she wasn't running, but flying.

Who doesn't love to fly?

Who doesn't dream of flying?

That sense of speed, that feeling of being above everything else...

Xue Lianxi regretted that she couldn't fly to the Yinji Sect in an instant.

She always had to go to the place where she had previously hidden first.

She still needed to create momentum for her successful capture of Xiao Changying.

The moon is bright and the wind is gentle.

People in and around Chengdu were thrilled, and Xue Lianxi was also very excited.

Only one person is currently the most uneasy.

After being put down, "Xiao Changying" cried out in terror, "You've mistaken me for someone else! I'm really not Xiao Changying!"

Xiao Changying was already completely lost.

In the past few days, An Qingwan had not found anything wrong with him, so he had completely relaxed and was looking forward to infiltrating the Thirty-Six Islands with the help of the senior who had never shown his face, and enjoying wealth and glory.

But who would have thought that he would be captured at that moment?

Xue Lianxi laughed and said, "Xiao Changying, don't worry, as long as you cooperate with me obediently, I will never kill you!"

"Xiao Changying" shook his head desperately: "Wrong, completely wrong, I'm not lying to you, I'm not Xiao Changying, I'm Xiao Changying's pageboy Xiao Wu, that crippled pageboy Xiao Wu is the real Xiao Changying!"

Xue Lianxi sneered: "Xiao Changying, a smart person would choose to shut up at this time instead of spouting nonsense, otherwise..."

With a flick of her finger, the candle in the room snapped in two out of thin air.

Xiao Changying was so frightened that he trembled all over.

"Tie him up and stuff him into the box."

Under Xue Lianxi's command, Xiao Changying was dragged away, his mouth was gagged, and his hands and feet were tied up.

Once everyone else was in the room, Xue Lianxi burst into laughter.

She laughed so hard she nearly fell over, and then knelt down with her hands raised high.

"Destiny is on my side, hahahaha! An Qingwan, Sikong Tingxue, Master, even the heavens are on my side, how can you possibly defeat me!"

Xue Lianxi's smile was incredibly genuine.

She used to be very happy.

Until that day, until the day her master brought the dying Sikong Tingxue back from outside, she rarely smiled from the bottom of her heart.

She was originally the frontrunner to succeed the Yin-Yang Sect.

But that cripple Sikong Tingxue took everything from her.

She hated Sikong Tingxue.

She hated her master for favoring Sikong Tingxue.

That's why she secretly sought refuge with Feng Shangren.

She vowed that she would take back everything she had lost with her own hands!

As it turned out, she was right.

Look, even the heavens are on her side now.

She regained what she had lost and captured Xiao Changying again. Next, she only needed to use this opportunity to frame Sikong Tingxue once more. At that time, who could stop her from taking back the rightful place of the Yinji Sect successor?

"nobody!"

"Master, no good!"

"None of you can do that!"

"Sikong Tingxue, after this is done, I will make you experience the most despairing pain in the world!"

"And your master, you won't escape either!"

When Xue Lianxi stood up from the ground, her face was flushed with excitement.

She should leave this place; she should hurry and take Xiao Changying away.

But just as she lifted her foot, before she could even take a step, a faint voice sounded behind her.

“He didn’t lie to you. He really isn’t Xiao Changying. He’s Xiao Changying’s pageboy, Xiao Wu. He’s impersonating Xiao Changying just for the sake of wealth and glory.”

Xue Lianxi's eyes widened.

She recognized the voice no matter what.

But she couldn't understand why the voice was there.

She looked down and saw the gleaming tip of the sword protruding from the center of her chest.

She felt pain.

But the pain doesn't come from the body, it comes from the heart.

"An Qingwan, what are you doing here?"

A fair hand came around from behind and gently pinched Xue Lianxi's throat.

"You say destiny is in your hands, but do you know who the 'Heaven' is that lets you know 'Xiao Changying's' movements, that lets you find 'Xiao Changying's' exact location before 7 PM?"

Xue Lianxi stood there, stunned.
