Killing people is not even something that would be criticized.

But the people Miss Xiao is targeting are two disciples from the Holy Land, so there is something to be said. If you want to kill the disciples from the Holy Land, then what is your identity?

Is it related to the Demonic Path? Is it cooperating with the Demonic Path? There are a lot of reasons like this.

With the holy land as the backing, we are so confident.

While Ye Qiuhan was looking for the photo stone, Qian Lin had already cleared out all the killer's savings. More than 10,000 spirit stones entered his pocket, making Qian Lin's expression extremely excited.

Fortunately, she was wearing a hood, so the other two people present didn't see her smug look.

"The next step is to capture Miss Xiao. Should we go directly to the Xiao family to ask for her or what?" After taking a long time to calm down, Qian Lin asked.

Now that they are in the right, they can be a little more generous in their actions. After all, this matter has nothing to do with Young Master Yue's poisoning.

At least that's what it looks like on the surface.

They went to find Miss Xiao now because Miss Xiao hired people to assassinate the disciples of the Holy Land, not because they suspected that Miss Xiao was poisoned by the Hehuan Sect. There should be no problem in using this excuse to control Miss Xiao and ask a few questions.

The other members of the Xiao family had not heard of anything wrong, so they should not have been ambushed. As long as they talked nicely, they should be able to reach a consensus.

Qian Lin thought so, and after rushing to the Xiao Mansion without stopping, the reaction of the Xiao family's patriarch did not exceed her expectations. The patriarch really had no idea about Miss Xiao's actions.

"What? That rebellious girl actually did such a stupid thing?!" After hearing Liu Chang talk about what Miss Xiao had done and looking at the picture in the photo stone that Liu Chang handed to him, the gray-haired head of the Xiao family showed an expression of great surprise.

There is evidence from both the witnesses and the objects, there is no way to refute it!

His daughter had really gotten into trouble. It would have been fine if he had hired someone to kill some other weak monks without any backing, but it just so happened that she had offended a disciple of the Holy Land, which was simply courting death.

His family was indeed very powerful in this city, but compared with a behemoth like the Holy Land, the head of the Xiao family knew very well that if the other party wanted to deal with him, they only needed to look at him.

"Maybe it's because when we were traveling with the eldest lady of the Yue family before, we ruined Miss Xiao's good deeds, and then she holds a grudge against us." Ye Qiuhan took a sip of tea and mentioned it as if unintentionally.

Is it because of the eldest daughter of the Yue family? The head of the Xiao family pressed his forehead and sighed deeply. He knew it was because of this reason.

Now his daughter is wholeheartedly obsessed with the eldest daughter of the Yue family. Although Miss Yue is indeed a good person, she obviously has no interest in his daughter at all!

Besides, you two are both women, and you have no future at all. The head of the Xiao family has advised his daughter countless times, but Miss Xiao just refuses to accept this fact and will not turn back until she hits a wall.

Even though Miss Yue had clearly shown her disgust, she still refused to stop.

"But it's impossible to expect us to just laugh it off when something like this happens. We should at least ask her to come and apologize to us, compensate us, and ensure that this kind of thing doesn't happen again in the future." Ye Qiuhan said to the Xiao family's head in a serious tone, "The crime of murdering a disciple of the Holy Land is not something a small family like yours can afford."

Ye Qiuhan was not trying to scare the head of the Xiao family, but was stating a fact. If the news of the two of them being assassinated got out, the Xiao family would probably disappear from this world completely in no time.

Not to mention the pressure from Yao Chi, the anger of the Qian family is not something that the small Xiao family can bear.

The Qian family has no interest in this city, but it is easy to send a few masters to kill a few culprits.

"Understood, understood. I will call that rebellious girl over here and give her a good scolding." Upon hearing Ye Qiuhan's words, the Xiao family's patriarch's face turned pale. He nodded repeatedly in agreement, then turned around and said to the servant beside him in a stern tone, "Call that rebellious girl over here! Tell her that if she doesn't come, I will go and call her myself!"

"Yes!" The servant lowered his head deeply. He knew that the master was really angry this time.

……

"Huh... I always feel a little uneasy, what's going on?" Miss Xiao sat on the chair, receiving massage service from the little girl, but unlike the enjoyment she had before, she couldn't relax today at all, as if some danger was approaching.

"Miss, don't worry. It's just an illusion. It won't be a problem." The little maid whispered softly in Miss Xiao's ear, and her jade-like hands gently pressed on Miss Xiao's forehead, "It will be over soon... soon..."

Soon, you will all fall into hell to accompany those who died in your hands. A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the little maid. Her plan was almost successful. As long as the conflict between the Xiao and Yue families could be completely destroyed, her master could take advantage of the situation and disintegrate the city from within.

By then, I will be able to take revenge!

Just as the little maid was immersed in the joy of her upcoming revenge, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. Then, the door was pushed open by a middle-aged man, "Miss, the master of the family wants you to come over!"

"Who gave you the courage to come in without knocking?" Miss Xiao suddenly opened her eyes, with an unconcealable anger flashing in her eyes. Didn't you see that she was resting?

She had said a long time ago that one should knock on the door before entering one's room. Does this old servant think that he is so senior that he doesn't take her seriously?

"Miss, someone is here to seek revenge, and he wants to see you by name!" The middle-aged man explained helplessly. Is this the time to be petty? "Your hiring of a killer has been exposed."

"Isn't it just killing someone? Do those two women have any backers?" Miss Xiao was a little confused. Hiring someone to kill someone was not a big deal here. It was ok for the other party to come for revenge, but her own father actually let her go. Was he giving in?

The backers of those two girls are probably the Yue family at most, and the Yue family will definitely not fall out with the Xiao family because of these two girls, right?

"What a powerful backer! Those two ladies are disciples of the Holy Land!"

"Holy land?!" The first person to react after hearing the middle-aged servant's words was not Miss Xiao, but the little maid. She widened her eyes, and her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.

Isn't this too much of a coincidence? The one who interfered with the plan of me and Miss Xiao was actually a disciple of the Holy Land, and I actually asked Miss Xiao to hire someone to assassinate the disciples of the Holy Land at this time. This is really courting death!

The little maid looked down on the Holy Land, but she had heard from her master that the people in the Holy Land were extremely protective of their people. In this situation, Miss Xiao was afraid that she would suffer a great loss.

"Yes, the Holy Land." The middle-aged servant did not doubt the little maid's misconduct. Anyone would have the same reaction after hearing that their master had offended a disciple of the Holy Land. This little maid had only been with Miss Xiao for a few years, so it was normal for her to not be able to hide her emotions like himself.

"Miss, please come with me quickly. Those disciples from the Holy Land don't look like the type that are difficult to talk to. You just need to apologize and admit your mistakes. It's all just a misunderstanding."

"This..." Miss Xiao hesitated. Her intuition told her that it was best not to go over at this time, but she didn't know why she couldn't go over.

There is no way to refute this matter now. Since the other party has come to my door, they must have decisive evidence in their hands. What I should do now is to apologize sincerely as the middle-aged servant said, and hope that the two girls will forgive me.

These two girls will leave here soon. After they leave, I will find a way to kidnap Miss Yue and make it a fait accompli. It won't take much time.

Anyway, Miss Yue is staying in the Yue family now, so I can't do anything to her.

Thinking of this, Miss Xiao nodded immediately, "Then I'll change my clothes and go meet them."

As she spoke, she looked down at the plain white dress on her body and revealed a helpless expression. She couldn't go out to meet people wearing this.

After all, she is a lady from a wealthy family, and it would be very rude for her to go out and meet guests like this.

"Okay, then I'll go back and report the situation to the master." The middle-aged man nodded, turned around and ran out of the room.

Miss Xiao turned and walked into the bedroom and began to change her clothes.

"What should I do? What should I do if what I did to Xiao Shu is discovered? No, no, they almost had a fight before, and those two disciples from the Holy Land obviously didn't notice anything." The little maid stood there with a bad look on her face. This matter was really beyond her expectations. No matter how she thought about it, she could not have imagined that Xiao Shu would offend two disciples from the Holy Land.

There is no other way. I can only take one step at a time. If it really doesn't work, I can only give up the previous plan and lie low for now.

……

"What? So you two were the ones who noticed the illness of the kid from the Yue family?" When the middle-aged man went to call Miss Xiao over, the head of the Xiao family was listening to Ye Qiuhan bragging.

After hearing that the doctor who was widely talked about in the city was Qian Lin, who was sitting next to Ye Qiuhan without saying a word, the head of the Xiao family immediately showed an expression of astonishment.

Now everything makes sense. The Yue family didn't go outside to find a doctor specially. Instead, two powerful disciples from the holy land happened to meet Miss Yue, and after a series of coincidences, they discovered the problem with Young Master Yue.

"Alas, I have an unwelcome request... My daughter and the young man from the Yue family changed their personalities at about the same time. I suspected that someone had tampered with her, but I couldn't find anything wrong no matter how hard I tried." Patriarch Xiao smiled awkwardly. He rubbed his hands and looked at Qian Lin in a flattering manner, "Can you please take a look at my daughter as well? I promise I won't treat you two unfairly!"

"It's normal that you can't tell the devil's tricks. Even the disciples of the Holy Land may not be able to distinguish those insidious tricks." Qian Lin raised her head slightly. She was wearing a mask covering the upper half of her face, so she was not afraid of letting the head of the Xiao family see her face. "As for the reward, you can give it as you see fit."

This was said in the manner of a noble scholar, but the reason why Qian Lin did not say an exact number was because she did not know how big a target she should ask for.

The Xiao family certainly has no shortage of spirit stones. If I help them like this, they must give them a lot of spirit stones. But if I ask for it directly, I will be at a disadvantage.

It would be best if the other party respectfully gave you tens of thousands of spirit stones, and then you accepted them calmly. That would be best.

"However, since we want to see if she has been ambushed by someone, why don't we go directly to her residence and take a look. Perhaps we can find something unusual." Qian Lin stood up, his voice flat.

The main purpose of coming here this time is to investigate whether Miss Xiao, like Young Master Yue, was ambushed by the Hehuan Demon Sect. As for seeking revenge and compensation, that's just an excuse.

Qian Lin is not such a narrow-minded person. He just planned to let the Qian family come here to make trouble if the Xiao family showed a bad attitude. Unfortunately, the head of the Xiao family was quite self-aware and admitted his mistake very quickly.

"Okay, okay, I will take you to find that rebellious girl right away!" The head of the Xiao family laughed twice, stood up from the main seat, bent his waist and ran to Qian Lin in small steps.

If the Xiao family members saw this, they would probably be so scared that their eyeballs would pop out of their heads. How could the head of the family, who usually said what he meant and was extremely serious, show such an expression?

The middle-aged man who returned from Miss Xiao showed such a shocked expression after seeing the head of the Xiao family.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly. After a brief shock, he immediately told a few people the result of his trip, letting everyone know that Miss Xiao didn't want to come, but wanted to change her clothes before coming.

This shows her correct attitude of admitting mistakes, and she is not just throwing a tantrum.

"It's good that you know you're wrong. Just come with us. This fairy is..." The head of the Xiao family whispered to the middle-aged man and explained why he took Qian Lin to Miss Xiao's residence.

After listening to the explanation from the head of the Xiao family, the middle-aged man also showed an expression of understanding. It turned out that this fairy was the mysterious doctor who detoxified the young master of the Yue family. No wonder the head of the family treated her so respectfully.

The young lady's condition is not exactly the same as that of the young master of the Yue family, but it can be said to be extremely similar. After the news of the young master of the Yue family being poisoned spread, the Xiao family actually began to suspect that their young lady had also been ambushed, but unfortunately there was no evidence.

Now that the doctor has come to ask for an explanation, isn't this a good opportunity to find out what's going on with the young lady?

Even if it costs a lot, it's worth it!

119. Exploded!

"No one in the room is allowed to move. Stand still!" The door that had been violently pushed open once not long ago was violently pushed open again. Ye Qiuhan rushed into the room first and shouted to the two girls in the room.

Miss Xiao, who had already changed into formal clothes, was startled by Ye Qiuhan and subconsciously put her hands in front of her, "Ah?"

Afterwards, Qian Lin, Liu Chang and the head of the Xiao family came in one after another, making this not-so-small hall crowded for a moment.

"Shu'er, this fairy is the doctor who discovered that the boy from the Yue family was ambushed by someone. I think your symptoms are similar to those of the boy from the Yue family, so I begged the fairy to come and see you." The head of the Xiao family stepped forward and said to his daughter.

After hearing what the head of the Xiao family said, Miss Xiao first showed a puzzled expression, and then the expression turned into anger. Was he doubting her feelings for Miss Yue?

What do you mean by being plotted against? My love for Miss Yue is real, and it’s not the effect of some poison!

"I am sincere to Miss Yue!" Miss Xiao argued loudly.

"Young Master Yue also thought he was sincere to those two men before he was detoxified." Qian Lin shrugged, indicating that it was not up to you to decide whether he was sincere or not. "Don't worry, the test will be quick, and you won't feel anything."

After a pause, she continued, "Since you believe that your feelings for Miss Yue are genuine, then what do you have to be afraid of? If you can pass this test, then everyone will know your true feelings. Isn't that a good thing?"

Hearing this, the resistance on Miss Xiao's face disappeared a lot at once. After taking a look at the people in the room, she also knew that she probably had no ability to resist.

Her father and the big man with a sword on his back put a lot of pressure on her. With these two people standing here, she had no right to refuse.

"OK then."

"Miss..." The little maid's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

She glanced at the people in the room. If her identity was discovered here, she would probably have trouble escaping.

There are two half-step masters, Mr. Xiao and Liu Chang, in this room, while I am only in the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm. There is no possibility of any resistance at all.

The monks of Hehuan Valley are different from those of Xuehai Sect. They do not have powerful life-saving skills like Blood Escape Technique. In this sudden situation, she seems to have little chance of escape.

"This little maid is quite cute." Ye Qiuhan's eyes fell on the little maid's face and said softly.

I didn't notice it before, but now I see that this little maid is actually prettier than Miss Xiao. There is an indescribable charm between her eyebrows, which makes people want to fall in love with her.

But...why does this face seem a little familiar?

Ye Qiuhan pressed his forehead hesitantly, closed his eyes and began to wonder if he had seen this little maid somewhere before.

"She's really cute." After hearing what Ye Qiuhan said, Qian Lin turned his head and glanced at the little maid, but he didn't pay too much attention to her. After all, although the little girl looked cute, she was just cute.

There is no comparison between him and Ye Qiuhan at all.

Her attention now is more focused on Miss Xiao.

"Go inside the room. Some examinations may require you to take off your clothes." Qian Lin said to Miss Xiao.

"Oh, okay." Miss Xiao nodded hesitantly and walked into the bedroom with Qian Lin.

The bedroom door was closed and the hall fell into an eerie silence. Ye Qiuhan remained in a state of deep thought without moving, and the people from the Xiao family did not dare to move, for fear that any movement would affect the inspection in the room.

The head of the Xiao family is in a very complicated mood now. He hopes that his daughter's personality has changed drastically because she was ambushed, but he also doesn't hope that his daughter was really ambushed.

All in all, I feel very conflicted.

As time went by, the little maid's expression gradually became worse. After such a long time, could the disciples of that holy land have really discovered something?

If what I did to Miss Xiao was discovered, it would be really bad. The disciple from the holy land would definitely suspect the people around Miss Xiao, and I would definitely be the number one suspect.

Although she practiced a technique that could conceal her cultivation level, she could not guarantee how effective her technique would be. After all, what she had to face now was the holy land of the righteous path that had suppressed the evil path for countless years.

When it comes to dealing with the devil, the Holy Land is very experienced. If we give them some time, our hiding will definitely be seen through!

No, that's not right. We can't just sit there and wait for death.

The little maidservant put her hands behind her back and began to make secret hand seals. She wanted to control Miss Xiao to launch a sneak attack on Qian Lin, and then escape in the chaos. Even if the plan failed, it would fail, at least she couldn't lose her life here.

But just as she was about to complete the spell, a hand rested on her shoulder.

The little maid turned her head with a stiff expression and saw an ordinary face.

"I remember now, Zi Xiaoqing, this is your name, right?" Ye Qiuhan pressed the little maid's shoulder with an inexplicable smile on his face, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

"What are you talking about? I don't even know this person." The little maid replied calmly, but the shock in her heart was beyond words.

How could anyone still know this name!

Even her master didn't know her real name, so how could the disciples of this holy land know this name? Zi Xiaoqing had died in the disaster ten years ago, completely dead!
