Lin Xiuyan said dismissively, "He's already a bald sheep, why would he care if he gets plucked bald?"
She originally thought that Zhou Shuyi was a good-for-nothing anyway, so it didn't matter if he ran away.
However, after looking through the things Zhou Shuyi brought, she found that none of the most valuable house deeds and land deeds were there.
She then knew that the item was still on Zhou Shuyi, and she wanted it.
After all, with Zhou Shuyi's abilities, there's no way he could protect these things. It's better for her to take them than for someone else to do so.
That's why she had someone keep an eye on Zhou Shuyi; knowing that she was going to run away, she naturally had to come and keep an eye on her.
Ye Qingwan laughed: "That's true. Anyway, he only has those few uses now, so we should make full use of them."
"Over the years, the Zhou family has helped the old witch do many heinous things, and now their retribution has come."
Lin Xiuyan slightly raised her eyebrows. When she first met Zhou Shuyi, he was so arrogant that he was obviously someone who usually acted with impunity.
Although she thought he was quite stupid, she could also see through his cunning from his collaboration with Jiang Xinrou this time.
After being beaten down by life several times, someone like him has a certain chance of getting back on his feet.
That's why Lin Xiuyan felt that after acquiring those house deeds and land contracts, she couldn't let Zhou Shuyi stay any longer.
Ye Qingwan asked Lin Xiuyan, "You said today that Jiang Xinrou would definitely die, and she really did die."
"I can understand that she was killed by Zhou Chenyang, but who killed Zhou Chenyang?"
Lin Xiuyan smiled but did not answer.
Although she didn't see Ye Junfei, she recognized the modified bow and arrow.
After hearing the news that Zhou Chenyang had been shot dead in the street, she went to see Zhou Chenyang's body.
At a glance, she recognized that the arrow that pierced Zhou Chenyang was one she had crafted herself.
She could vaguely guess Ye Junfei's reason for killing Zhou Chenyang. Although she disdained killing Zhou Chenyang, Ye Junfei felt that Zhou Chenyang could no longer live, so Zhou Chenyang should just die.
People like Zhou Chenyang are more reassuring to be dead than alive.
Even with her intelligence, she couldn't guess that Ye Junfei killed Zhou Chenyang simply because he had once been her fiancé.
Ye Junfei has always been jealous of Zhou Chenyang.
After waiting for a while without receiving a reply from Lin Xiuyan, Ye Qingwan asked again, "Do you know who killed Zhou Chenyang?"
Lin Xiuyan said calmly, "Zhou Chenyang is the emperor's dog placed in Yucheng. Yucheng has a special geographical location. People from the imperial court must pass through Yucheng to enter or leave Liefeng City."
"Zhou Chenyang is extremely ruthless, and many people want to kill him."
"I don't know who killed him, but I think it's better that he's dead."
Ye Qingwan agreed with her: "I originally thought that since he had bullied me in the past, I would deal with him after dealing with Zhou Shuyi."
"I didn't expect him to die so quickly; it's almost too easy for him."
"To be honest, I even devised a whole set of ways to torture him, but none of them have been used yet, which is a bit of a shame."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She thought that the brother and sister were absolutely amazing!
Yet, she felt a deep warmth in her heart; she appreciated their care and protection.
She coughed lightly and said, "Yes! It's too easy for Zhou Chenyang to die like this!"
"Go find out who killed Zhou Chenyang before you settle accounts with that person!"
Ye Qingwan glanced at her and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense!"
The two women smiled at each other.
"Huh? What's that?" Ye easily spotted some white threads faintly visible on the road in the distance.
Those silk threads lay across the middle of the road, barely visible unless you looked closely.
Just then, the setting sun's rays reflected off it, creating a glare that allowed her to spot the thread.
They could see it even from a distance, which meant it couldn't be a thread.
Real silk threads cannot reflect light like that; they would be impossible to see from this distance.
Lin Xiuyan glanced in the direction she pointed, her expression becoming somewhat serious.
She said softly, "That's not silk thread, it's blade thread."
Ye Qingwan asked, "What is blade silk?"
Lin Xiuyan looked puzzled: "Blade Silk is a weapon I made before."
"It looks like a thread, and it's very sharp; if used properly, it's comparable to a sword."
"But this stuff is very difficult to make. I spent a long time working on it and only managed to make a small roll."
"I used up almost all of them last time. Where did these blade threads come from? Did someone copy them?"
She quickly dismissed the idea, because the creation of the blade threads was extremely complex and impossible for an ordinary person to do.
Therefore, these blades are most likely the ones she made before.
However, she had already used up all the blade threads she had made.
These seemingly random blade threads were most likely deliberately concealed by someone.
But who could this person be?
She couldn't understand it for a moment.
She said to Ye Qingwan, "I have a feeling something's going to happen. Let's go check it out."
Ye Qingwan asked, "What could possibly happen at this time?"
She had never seen Lin Xiuyan's blade threads and didn't know how powerful they were.
Lin Xiuyan knew all too well that those sharp blades lying across the road could cut a person in two if someone rode by on horseback, given the speed of the horse and the sharpness of the blades!
Moreover, the sun had already set, and it was getting dark all around, making it even more difficult for the rider to spot the blade.
Lin Xiuyan replied, "Zhou Shuyi might die today."
Ye Qingwan was somewhat surprised and immediately said, "Let's go quickly, the Zhou family's truly valuable possessions are all in his hands."
"Those are all our things, we can't let anyone steal them!"
For her, what she had her eye on and had gone through so much effort to obtain, she certainly couldn't let someone else snatch it away first.
The two quickly descended the mountain, using their lightness skills to take a shortcut towards the place where the blade threads had appeared.
But before they even got there, they heard several screams.
The two exchanged a glance. Since it was already late, only Zhou Shuyi and his group had left along this road earlier.
Those who use the bladed wire are really here to steal their thunder; this cannot be tolerated.
Lin Xiuyan didn't know who her opponents were, how many there were, or their martial arts skills, so she could only deal with them cautiously.
She gave one of the crossbows she was carrying to Ye Qingwan and listened intently to the sounds coming from ahead.
Zhou Shuyi's voice came through: "I'll give you all the money, just don't kill me!"
Another somewhat familiar voice rang out: "I don't want your money, I just want your life!"
The next moment, Zhou Shuyi's scream rang out.
Lin Xiuyan and Ye Qingwan exchanged a glance and quickened their pace.
