Xueying's brow furrowed even deeper. He hadn't expected Luo Lingyue to be so perceptive, to have picked up on some clues. But he remained stubborn and replied, "Stop talking nonsense! I'm not one of his men. I'm just an independent assassin. I only care about money, not people."
Luo Lingyue smiled slightly, a cunning glint in her eyes. "Oh? Really? Then why do you always appear by our side at the critical moment?"
Luo Lingyue flashed and instantly stood in front of Xueying. She reached out and pulled off the mask on Xueying's face.
Xueying looked embarrassed: "You've already seen my ugly face, why are you still picking it?"
Luo Lingyue sneered: "Humph, I heard that Nanyi has a magical potion that can change a person's facial contours and features!"
Xueying was shocked: "What? How come I haven't heard of this!" As he was speaking, he suddenly found that he couldn't move his whole body. He immediately shouted in panic: "Luo Lingyue! What are you doing?"
Luo Lingyue snorted lightly: "Hmph, I just want to try and see if the antidote I developed myself works!" After that, she took out a small bottle from her arms, opened the cap directly, and poured the whole bottle of foul-smelling potion on Xueying's face.
The four secret guards hiding in the dark looked at each other, their eyes revealing worry and anxiety.
They clenched their fists, seemingly hesitant about whether to offer assistance. However, after a moment of internal struggle, they ultimately chose to remain inactive. Although filled with anxiety, they knew that with just the four of them, there was no way they could defeat Luo Lingyue.
Furthermore, the young master once said: "Luo Lingyue is his life!" These words were like a heavy mountain pressing on the hearts of the secret guards.
As loyal secret guards, how could they dare to disobey their master's orders? They could only watch helplessly as their young master was being treated recklessly by Luo Lingyue.
Xueying was almost fainting from the stench. He widened his eyes and exclaimed angrily, "Luo Lingyue! You actually poisoned me again!"
Luo Lingyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly and responded with a sneer: "I told you a long time ago that my wine is poisonous! It was you who insisted on drinking it!" There was a hint of sarcasm and pride in her tone.
Xueying's face turned extremely ugly because he felt the skin on his face begin to itch unbearably. He felt that his skin was actually starting to change.
As time went on, Blood Shadow's face changed dramatically.
Luo Lingyue looked at Xueying's gradually deformed face, her lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. She murmured to herself, "As expected! You're wearing a mask and even disguised yourself. Are you a wanted criminal of the imperial court?"
Blood Shadow's voice trembled with fear: "Luo Lingyue! You can't treat me like this! I was trying to save you before, but I discovered that Dark Moon Fairy was you in disguise. How can you repay kindness with hatred? You..."
Before Xueying could finish his words, he felt a sudden pain in his butt, and then his body flew out uncontrollably and fell heavily on the roof.
Xueying looked at Luo Lingyue with a wronged expression. Just as he was about to speak, Luo Lingyue cursed furiously, "You bastard! You're actually Xiao Jinghan! You've been trying to trick me from the beginning! You've been cheating me of my gold! And you even dared to tease me! I'm going to kill you!"
As Luo Lingyue spoke, she kept beating and scolding Xiao Jinghan, while Xiao Jinghan just let her beat and scold him with a look of helplessness on his face, because he knew that any explanation now would be unnecessary.
The four secret guards hiding in the dark felt their scalps tingling when they saw this scene.
It's over! The young master has gone too far! Being beaten and scolded by his own wife, it seems that they can't do anything about it? Moreover, the young master's wife is a martial arts expert. Even the young master was beaten. They'd better not go out! Otherwise, they might be affected by the disaster! Thinking of this, the four of them looked at each other, and saw a hint of relief and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Luo Lingyue looked at Xiao Jinghan, who was beaten black and blue, and the anger in her heart was finally released. She turned her head and said coldly to the dark corner: "The four of you come out and carry your master back to the house!"
Hearing Luo Lingyue's order, the four secret guards were shocked, but they did not dare to disobey. They could only walk out of the darkness and respectfully called out, "Madam Young Master!"
Jun Hao quickly carried Xiao Jinghan on his back and was about to leave when Luo Lingyue suddenly asked, "What are your names?"
Jun Xi quickly replied, "Jun Hao, Jun Xi, Jun Yang, Jun Ran."
Hearing this, Luo Lingyue suddenly raised her fist and hit Xiao Jinghan hard on the back, cursing angrily: "My cousins in the An family are all from the Jun generation. Are you insinuating my cousin?"
Xiao Jinghan was speechless. He hadn't named these secret guards! He sighed helplessly.
However, Luo Lingyue did not give up. She continued, "Since your master is so despicable and shameless, why don't you all take his surname? From now on, you will be called Xiao Hao, Xiao Xi, Xiao Yang, and Xiao Ran!"
The four secret guards responded in a low voice: "Thank you, Madam Young Master, for the name!" There was a hint of helplessness and embarrassment in their voices.
Xiao Hao carried Xiao Jinghan back to the room and carefully placed him on the bed. Then, he nodded to Xiao Jinghan and disappeared into the darkness with the other three people.
Xiao Jinghan lay on the big bed, his eyes blurred, his cheeks slightly red, his lips slightly open, and from time to time he let out a soft moan: "My wife..."
Luo Lingyue sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the man in front of her, her heart filled with anger and dissatisfaction. She couldn't help but reach out and pinch Xiao Jinghan's face, snorting coldly: "If I hadn't revealed your true face tonight, how long would you have kept it a secret from me?"
Xiao Jinghan felt a little pain from being pinched, but he still tried to force a smile and said flatteringly: "I was planning to tell you tonight!"
Luo Lingyue's eyes widened, and she fiercely grabbed Xiao Jinghan's ear, gritting her teeth and cursing, "You bastard! You even cheated me out of a thousand taels of gold before coming to Nanyi! Do you have any conscience at all?"
Xiao Jinghan begged for mercy quickly, the pain so severe that tears were about to come out: "It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! My lady, please be gentle! All my gold is yours! Not to mention a thousand taels, all the gold in the Soul-Destroying Sect is yours! I was just joking with you!"
Luo Lingyue looked at Xiao Jinghan's pitiful appearance, and her heart softened, so she let go of his hand. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked in a cold voice, "Tell me! What else are you hiding from me?"
Xiao Jinghan blinked his deer-like peach blossom eyes, sparkling with tears that seemed ready to fall at any moment. He whispered coquettishly, "My dear wife, please give me the antidote first! My whole body is stiff now, and it's so uncomfortable!"
Luo Lingyue sighed helplessly, took out a pill from her bosom and fed it to Xiao Jinghan. Xiao Jinghan swallowed the pill without hesitation. After a while, he felt his body gradually regain consciousness and could move.
Xiao Jinghan acted quickly and pressed several major acupoints on Luo Lingyue's body while she was not paying attention.
Luo Lingyue's eyes widened, and she roared angrily, "Xiao Jinghan! Quick, unblock my acupuncture points!"
