A short while later, Su Zhen returned and reported, "I was unable to bring Su Jin back."
Nie Qingyi's face was contorted. She hadn't tasted defeat in a long time. Her excellence and strength were admired by countless people, and she couldn't accept failure!
"Useless! You're all useless! You can't even catch a single piece of trash who can't lift a finger or carry a load. What use are you to me!"
Su Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly. Even though Su Jin had been known as a good-for-nothing for a year, she was still the Master of the Glass. Did Nie Qingyi not even bother to maintain appearances?
The two underlings immediately shifted the blame, telling Nie Qingyi that Su Jinxia knew martial arts, and was quite skilled at it.
Nie Qingyi's face stiffened, and a guilty look flashed in her eyes. "Su Jin has obtained the power of the Gu Mother?"
If so, then there's no need to keep it!
"It shouldn't be! I only learned the Phoenix Cry Sword Technique. It looks impressive, but it's just all show and no substance." Su Zhen subconsciously denied it.
Nie Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it carefully, she also thought it was impossible. Even she hadn't developed an antidote for the poison of the Forget-Me-Not Grass. How could Su Jinxia have the antidote? How could he have obtained the power of the Gu Mother?
That's impossible!
Nie Qingyi was furious and very irritable. She didn't care about winning over these useless people anymore. She cursed them a few times and sent them away.
The two younger brothers were heartbroken, feeling that they were about to fall out of favor.
Su Zhen gradually realized that what Su Jin had said wasn't entirely unreasonable.
Upon closer reflection, Su Jinxia had never held any real power since taking office. She spent all her time sensing the Gu Mother, while Nie Qingyi handled all the affairs of the society.
Who should be blamed for Su Yue's death?
Su Zhen was somewhat confused.
——
With everything settled down the mountain, Su Jin no longer wanted to stay in the Prince's mansion. This place held too many unpleasant memories, making her not want to linger any longer.
So, the next day, Su Jin returned to Tingyu Tower.
I had just gotten back when I heard some bad news.
Yang Jiaoruo captured several members of the Liuli Society alive during yesterday's battle.
Su Jin felt uneasy, but she dared not make any rash moves.
Putting aside how difficult it is to get into the fourth team, Su Jinxia's identity has gradually been exposed. If she continues to act, she will only reveal more clues.
Left with no other option, Su Jin could only pin her hopes on the disciples of the Liuli Society, hoping they would keep quiet.
But if they can't keep their mouths shut...
A bold idea popped into Su Jin's mind.
Su Jinxia believed that her relationship with Shen Qianxue was already very deep. If she confessed, would Shen Qianxue accept it?
This is a risky move. If played well, the situation will become much clearer; if played poorly, the entire army will be wiped out and utterly defeated.
Su Jin hesitated, not daring to make a move easily.
Night fell in the interrogation room of Team Four, where the thick, pungent smell of blood filled the entire room.
The disciples of the Liuli Society had been beaten beyond recognition and were on the verge of death, but no one was willing to utter a single word.
Yang Jiaoruo raised her hand, and her subordinate took out the Soul-Destroying Needle and walked to one of the disciples.
As is customary, Yang Jiaoruo explained the power of the Soul-Destroying Needle, hoping they would recruit her quickly.
These Soul-Destroying Needles are truly feared by everyone, yet no one wants to be the first to betray their master.
Yang Jiaoruo got annoyed and gave her subordinate a look, signaling him to take action.
Although he had promised Shen Qianxue that he would no longer use the Soul-Destroying Needle lightly, it didn't matter since everyone in front of him was an enemy.
The chosen disciple was one of the older ones, a bit chubby, and had a kind and honest appearance.
He was powerless to resist and allowed the Soul-Destroying Needle to pierce his head.
A pitiful wail echoed throughout the entire fourth team!
Gradually, the wails subsided, and the disciple's eyes became vacant, and he seemed dazed.
"What is the conspiracy of the Liuli Society?" Yang Jiaoruo asked.
"Find the secret treasure," the Liuli Society disciple replied weakly, offering no resistance.
"Is the secret treasure that wooden sword?"
"yes."
What is the purpose of a wooden sword?
"kill."
"Kill what?"
"all."
"What else do you know?"
Yang Jiaoruo's question was a bit too broad, and the disciple couldn't keep up.
Yang Jiaoruo waited a while, then changed her question, "The Liuli Society has a new leader, right?"
"yes!"
"who is she?"
"yes……"
Before the Liuli Society disciple could speak, he suddenly became agitated, his face contorted as if in extreme pain, and a moment later his neck lolled to the side and he was gone!
At the same time, Su Jinxia was fast asleep when a sudden sharp pain in her heart woke her up.
The cramping pain passed in an instant.
Su Jin was a little confused and couldn't figure out what had happened for a moment.
Yang Jiaoruo assumed that the disciple had given up, so she turned her attention to the others, "Should you speak up voluntarily, or endure the pain like him?"
One of the disciples panicked and screamed at the top of his lungs, "I'll talk, I'll talk, she is..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man's face contorted again, and he died moments later!
At the same time, Su Jin felt another sharp pain in her chest, this time even more pronounced.
This pain comes from the Gu Mother.
Su Jin hurriedly checked her sea of consciousness and found that two people were missing from those who had been captured by Yang Jiaoruo.
Without a doubt, Yang Jiaoruo was interrogating those disciples, and two of them died!
Su Jin suddenly remembered that the offspring Gu cannot betray the mother Gu.
Su Jinxia's biggest fear was having her identity exposed, as this would directly affect her life. Therefore, revealing Su Jinxia's identity would be seen as a betrayal by the Mother Gu.
A traitorous offspring host will be directly devoured and killed by the offspring!
The two sharp pains just now were the mother Gu sending signals to Su Jinxia, and also a warning that she had overused her power.
