Li Chengru's question struck a chord with the people present. For a moment, everyone widened their eyes, staring at Shen Qiqi nervously and expectantly.
The second girl has asked so many questions, and they have said everything they should and shouldn’t say. Now the second girl should be able to help them rescue the child!
Shen Qiqi knew what kind of answer they wanted to hear from her, so she was about to speak, but at this moment, she heard someone shout loudly: "Of course you can!"
She's a mother who lost her child.
The woman's eyes were filled with dense red bloodshot. Seeing Shen Qiqi looking at her, she excitedly said loudly, "The Fifth Elder told us earlier that the Second Miss would guarantee to rescue our children. Now the Second Miss has asked us so many questions. I think the Second Miss must have already made up her mind!"
"Yes, yes, the second young lady must have known how to help us rescue the child!"
"That's right, don't worry, just wait for the good news from the second lady!"
…
Without Shen Qiqi's words to comfort them, they comforted themselves.
And this comfort was quite effective, the worries on everyone's faces were obviously relieved a lot.
Shen Qiqi listened to the people's chattering and was a little surprised to learn that it was the Fifth Elder who was setting a trap for her behind her back. However, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that there was nothing to be surprised about.
It is an indisputable fact that the fifth elder covets the position of the head of the family.
And she is now a stumbling block on the Fifth Elder's path to the position of Patriarch, so the other party will certainly try every possible means to remove her as an obstacle.
Using public outrage to kill her is indeed a good method.
Unfortunately, the Fifth Elder will probably be disappointed.
Shen Qiqi sneered in her heart, looked at everyone, and said in a slow but firm tone:
"To be honest, before I came here, I wasn't completely confident. Now that I've seen your anxiety and worry, I'm just as anxious and worried as you are, but I'm still not completely sure. But I can tell you one thing for sure: no matter what, I will fight to the death. I swear on my life."
After the girl finished speaking, she clenched her fists, and the knuckles of her ten fingers made a "crunching" sound due to the strong squeezing. Combined with the solemn expression on her face, it gave people a sense of tragedy that the hero would never return.
The crowd quieted down.
After a moment of silence, the people spoke again:
"Second Miss, you must be careful!"
"Yes, Second Miss, we are all waiting for you to come back!"
Although they all hope that the second girl can help them rescue their child, their child's life is life, so does the second girl's life not life?
Shen Qiqi looked at everyone's emotional changes and felt a little guilty.
She took advantage of everyone.
Her purpose was the same as that of the Fifth Elder. She also wanted to use the public opinion to elevate the Fifth Elder to the highest position, making the Fifth Elder think that he was young and frivolous and would surely die because he did not know the seriousness of the matter. Then, when the other party was standing on the clouds and toasting to celebrate her victory, she would kick him down from the clouds to his death.
But there was one thing she said that was also true: she would really risk her life to save those children.
Although she had never practiced evil magic, in her previous life, there were more ghosts and monsters surrounding her than people.
Hanging out with these non-humans every day, she knew their cultivation methods very well, though not in detail.
Not all humans meet the requirements to be a cauldron. Those who are chosen by evil spirits basically have one thing in common, and this commonality is exactly what the evil spirits need.
Now she has found that common ground.
What she had to do next was to follow this common point, follow the evil spirits to their lair, and rescue the abducted children.
Those evil spirits hid their aura so well that they could not only avoid the evil-killing sword in Xie Beiming's hand, but also her evil-chasing talisman.
Before coming to Aunt Wonton's house, Shen Qiqi had thrown out at least hundreds of evil-chasing talismans, but so far, not a single one of them had responded.
Even the golden-eyed white tiger, which was extremely sensitive to all kinds of evil spirits, flew around Yuzhou City twice but still found nothing.
Those evil spirits hiding in Yuzhou City are like air. You know they exist, even everywhere, but you just can't catch them.
Who can still catch air?
Therefore, the most effective and fastest way at present is to find out the common features of the children abducted by evil spirits, and then based on the common features of these children, roughly lock on the evil spirits' next target, and then use oneself as bait to go deep into the evil spirits' lair.
This was the method that Shen Qiqi and Xie Beiming had just discussed and agreed upon.
…………
After comforting the people and sending them away, Shen Qiqi went into the house again to check Aunt Wonton's injuries. After confirming that Aunt Wonton was no longer in danger of death, she and Xie Beiming got up and left.
The streets were still deserted.
The two walked side by side on the deserted street. There was no sound in their ears, only the "clattering" sound of their footsteps on the bluestone ground.
At first, Shen Qiqi didn't think there was anything unusual because she was thinking about something.
After she finished thinking about it, she felt something was wrong: they had walked so far, but Xie Beiming didn't say a word to her... Isn't it too weird?
Turning around, I realized that Mr. Xie's mood was not right, very wrong. Although nothing could be seen on his cold and handsome face, the coldness in his eyes was as sharp as a knife.
Are you angry?
But what was he angry about?
Shen Qiqi pursed her lips, thought for a moment, moved closer to him, put her elbow on his waist, and sent a voice message:
"What's wrong? Are you angry? Is it because of the Fifth Elder's matter?"
Xie Beiming glanced at her and said nothing.
If you don't say anything, that means you agree.
Chen Qiqi: "Okay, don't be angry. It's really annoying that the Fifth Elder set a trap for me to fall into, but there's an old saying: When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer and his muscles and bones work hard. Just think of this as a test for me, and you won't be so angry if you think that way."
Seeing that Xie Beiming still didn't say anything, Shen Qiqi had no choice but to say, "How about this, I'll tie up the Fifth Elder and hand him over to you. You can beat him up however you want and let you vent your anger."
Xie Beiming lost his temper at her words. He glanced at her sideways and finally spoke: "The other party is plotting against you. If anyone wants to vent their anger, it should be you. Why should I join in the fun?"
"Ah? Is that so? I thought you were angry that someone was plotting against me... Well, it seems I was overthinking it." Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows at him and sighed in a feigned sadness.
Xie Beiming stared at her with a cold gaze, so cold that Shen Qiqi began to shiver. He then waved his hand to cast a barrier, then pulled her into his arms, whispered in her ear, and gritted his teeth:
"You know I'm not angry about this. Don't pretend you don't know... Qiqi, don't force me to bite your ear."
