If letting the Fifth Elder live a few more days can make Qiqi happy, it is not a bad idea.
But he wanted to give the other party a different way to die.
If the Fifth Elder knew that the price of living a few more days was so high, he would probably want to die right there and then.

That night, when the third watch drum sounded, Shen Qiqi, who was meditating with her eyes closed on a roof somewhere, suddenly opened her eyes.
At that moment, the cold light in the girl's eyes was as sharp as a knife.
She narrowed her eyes in one direction, turned her wrist, and sneered, "Thank you, Master. The bait has been taken. We can reel in the rod."
Xie Beiming nodded: "Let's go."
"Um."
After waiting for most of the night, we finally managed to get those bastards in the darkness out of the cave.
The two said nothing more, their figures hidden in the night, and like two wisps of breeze, they quickly swept in one direction.
This is a wealthy family with a large courtyard with three entrances and exits, and there are several people guarding each entrance.
There were even two people squatting in the dog hole.
Not only is there sufficient staff, but it is already three o'clock in the morning, when everything is asleep, but the house is still brightly lit, and the entire yard is as bright as day.
The servant on night patrol in the courtyard paced back and forth, occasionally looking up at the densely packed lanterns hanging around him, and whispered to his companion, "It's already the third watch, and not a single ghost has come in. Everything should be alright, right?"
The companion said, "It's even scarier at midnight. Those creatures like to come out in the dead of night... It's better to be careful."
The man from before curled his lips and said disapprovingly, "We have to be careful, but I think the master and mistress are being too nervous. The young master and the young lady are both wearing the talismans given by the second lady. Which evil spirit would dare to come and steal the children? It must be tired of living."
This was his true feelings, because his brother was the gatekeeper of Yuzhou City. When Shen Qiqi came back and burned the evil spirits, his brother witnessed the whole process and told him about it after he came back, so he admired Shen Qiqi from the bottom of his heart.
Just as he said: The young master and the young lady have the talismans given by Shen Qiqi on their bodies. Unless the evil spirit that specializes in stealing children is tired of it, they will never dare to come and attack their young master and young lady.
His companion had also heard about Shen Qiqi's heroic feat of burning the evil spirits in front of the city gate, and he had heard it more than once.
Now this matter is spreading throughout the entire Yuzhou city, it is hard for him not to know about it.
But he was a meticulous man, and he didn't dare let his guard down just because the young master and young lady had the talisman given by the second girl. He solemnly reminded his companions, "Master and Madam are middle-aged, and it was with great difficulty that they finally had this pair of children. If they were abducted by evil spirits, you and I would probably die. So we had better be vigilant...better safe than sorry."
After hearing what he said, his companion put away his disapproval and nodded, saying, "That's right, better safe than sorry." As he spoke, he looked into the house through the crack in the door.
