If it were a change in the customs of Xiufeng Kingdom, it should have been noted in the book. However, the transformation of Xuanhuo into Heihuo appears to be a natural occurrence in this book.
Qiao Lian'er asked a nobleman in Xiufeng Kingdom what punishment would be given to someone who turned Xuanhuo into black fire. The nobleman replied that it would be equivalent to erasing the power, leaving only darkness and no hope, and would be a capital offense.
So, if the Great Swamp Kingdom misunderstands this point, then it is obviously deliberately targeting the Xiufeng Kingdom, and the two countries will become enemies, which may even lead to war.
Qiao Lian'er took another good look at the booklet. Among the twenty-odd countries, Xiufeng Kingdom ranked second in national strength, only slightly inferior to the most powerful Laixi Kingdom. However, it was placed last, obviously because Mu Xinghe would relax his vigilance later on and would be busy completing his task, so he wouldn't be as careful.
This move was indeed ruthless; it could kill someone silently and without warning.
If it weren't for her skill in this area, she wouldn't even know how she died.
Qiao Lian'er brought back the Xuanhuo Totem from Xiufeng Kingdom, along with decorations such as cups, plates, vases, carpets, and welcoming flags. Since that person wanted Mu Xinghe to make a mistake in Xiufeng Kingdom, she wanted Mu Xinghe to do it perfectly.
She arranged these things in a small room, and the Qiao family, seeing that she was busy, did not come in to disturb her.
Qiao Xier arrived at the door and stood there for a while.
"Sister Xi'er, come in," Qiao Lian'er said.
Qiao Xi'er walked in. She didn't understand the things on the table, so she didn't ask any questions.
“Lian’er, I know a lot of things, and you can make your own decisions, but I still feel lingering fear about what happened three days ago. I just don’t understand why there are always people targeting Xinghe.”
She waited for three days for an answer, but Lian'er was quiet, seemingly preoccupied with other matters. She believed this matter would not be left unresolved, which was not in Lian'er's nature; it was only a matter of time. The Qiao family was very patient, but she simply couldn't bear it any longer.
She really wanted to know who that person, or those people, were, and who they really were.
Qiao Lian'er asked her to sit down. She knew Qiao Xi'er's feelings. Mu Xinghe was her beloved husband. He was almost dead at the time, and their child was only a few months old. That accident, which was clearly intentional, had an impact on her that most people could not imagine.
Looking at Qiao Xier, she had lost weight in just a few days, and her face looked haggard, clearly from the stress and exhaustion. Even though Mu Xinghe had recovered, she felt more uncertain about the future.
“Sister Xi’er, they’re not targeting your husband, they’re targeting the entire Qiao family. Your husband is just a starting point.”
"For example, this time, my brother-in-law was framed. The person who attacked him was not the real mastermind. This was an unexpected event in the whole conspiracy. The other party actually wanted him to live. When he made a mistake, he would be the culprit of the Qiao family. These past few days, you may have seen me seemingly no longer care about my brother-in-law's affairs. In fact, I want to find out the culprit and deal with him together. Those who harmed him will also pay the price."
Qiao Xi'er only half understood what they were hearing. Seeing Qiao Lian'er's solemn expression, she knew that she had been too hasty. This matter was complicated and couldn't be rushed. Lian'er was having a harder time than they had imagined.
Overwhelmed with guilt, he grabbed Qiao Lian'er's hand and said, "Don't overwork yourself. These people will definitely get their comeuppance."
Qiao Lian'er had already instructed Pei Shijiu to pay special attention to Li Zanran. When he entered the Qiao residence, everyone was already used to it and did not inquire or announce his arrival.
