The person appearing in the surveillance footage is Zhao Churan. She knocks Wang Xiaoyu unconscious with one slap and disappears instantly while grabbing Wang Xiaoyu.
Because of the speed, the surveillance cameras only captured Zhao Churan's profile.
If Ye Qiu hadn't been so sensitive to Zhao Churan, he might not have recognized her at all.
But Ye Qiu couldn't understand why Zhao Churan wanted to capture Wang Xiaoyu.
Wang Xiaoyu and Zhao Churan had no connection whatsoever, so Zhao Churan had no reason to target Wang Xiaoyu.
Just as Ye Qiu was about to call Zhao Churan, his phone rang first.
He glanced at it and was somewhat taken aback; the call was from Zhao Churan.
Ye Qiu answered the call immediately and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you want to arrest Wang Xiaoyu?"
"Of course, it's to kill her." Zhao Churan said coldly, "I can't be with you, but I can't stand seeing other women near you, so she has to die."
"Are you crazy?" Ye Qiu's eyes were icy cold: "I have nothing to do with her. Release her immediately. Tell me what's wrong."
“It’s too late, I’ve already killed her,” Zhao Churan said.
"I don't believe it. You're not that kind of person." Ye Qiu said in a deep voice, "Zhao Churan, if you have any complaints about me, come at me. Don't hurt others."
"I already told you, Wang Xiaoyu is dead. I'll have someone send her body over to you. It should arrive soon. Just enjoy her disfigured corpse."
Zhao Churan let out a strange laugh.
Ye Qiu's heart sank: "Zhao Churan, I don't believe you would do such a thing. You don't have enough reason."
"The reason is that I want you to stay single for life, haha. I'll kill any woman who gets close to you."
After saying that, Zhao Churan hung up the phone.
Ye Qiu was restless, his eyes filled with intense worry.
About ten minutes later, Chu Xiao rushed in, panicking: "Emperor Wu, outside...at the palace gate..."
What's going on outside?
"Emperor Wu, please go out and see for yourself." Chu Xiao's expression was complicated.
Upon seeing Chu Xiao's expression, Ye Qiu immediately had a bad feeling and quickly ran outside.
A moment later, Ye Qiu saw a disfigured corpse at the palace gate.
Judging from his physique, it is Wang Xiaoyu.
Ye Qiu still remembered Wang Xiaoyu's earrings and shoes. He suppressed his trembling heart, slowly squatted down, and carefully observed them.
A minute later, Ye Qiu quickly took a few steps back.
This really is Wang Xiaoyu; the earrings and shoes are spot on.
"Zhao Churan..."
Ye Qiu was heartbroken.
His heartache stemmed not only from Wang Xiaoyu's tragic death, but also from Zhao Churan's actions.
Zhao Churan was the woman he loved most.
But what Zhao Churan is doing now is unacceptable to Ye Qiu.
"Zhao Churan, I want your entire Kunlun Palace to be buried with Wang Xiaoyu."
Ye Qiu's murderous aura was overwhelming, and his eyes turned red.
"Emperor Wu, you must not."
Chu Xiao quickly grabbed Ye Qiu.
"Don't stop me."
Ye Qiu growled.
Chu Xiao refused to let go and said in a deep voice, "Emperor Wu, Kunlun Palace holds a very important position in the cultivation world of Great Xia. If we touch Kunlun Palace, the consequences will be unimaginable. Some forces that rely on Kunlun Palace will probably be used by those with ulterior motives, which will lead to war again. I don't know how many people will die then. I urge Emperor Wu to think twice."
"So, should we just let Wang Xiaoyu die in vain?"
Ye Qiu roared, his anger burning in every inch of his flesh and blood.
He felt as if his internal organs were about to explode with anger.
Chu Xiao held Ye Qiu tightly, gritting his teeth as he said, "Emperor Wu, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. Besides, it's not even ten years yet. We can wait until the Great Xia is more stable before we take our revenge."
"I can't wait, I have to kill her now."
Ye Qiu clenched his fists, his killing intent soaring to the sky.
"You want to kill me?"
At that very moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
Ye Qiu looked up and saw Zhao Churan standing not far away, arms crossed, calm, with a mocking smile on her lips.
"You still dare to come here."
Ye Qiu pushed Chu Xiao aside and, like a sharp arrow, charged towards Zhao Churan.
Zhao Churan dodged the attack with effortless grace.
Ye Qiu drew his sword directly, his killing intent soaring, every move aimed to kill.
However, after merging and becoming one, Zhao Churan's cultivation level was ridiculously high, and even Ye Qiu couldn't do anything to her.
"Tsk, your cultivation level is far inferior to Ye Qingdi's."
Ye Qingdi is handsome and muscular, much more charming than you.
Choosing Ye Qingdi is definitely the best decision I've ever made.
Zhao Churan relentlessly mocked Ye Qiu.
She knew what Ye Qiu cared about, so every word she said was like a sharp knife, piercing Ye Qiu's heart.
Ye Qiu's body trembled, and he suddenly stopped.
Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood and asked in a hoarse voice, "If that's the case, why did you still come to provoke me? You can go and wait for your Ye Qingdi, why did you kill the people around me?"
"Because it's fun." Zhao Churan sneered, "The days of waiting are so boring, it's more interesting to find some people to kill. You know what, that little girl named Wang Xiaoyu, before she died, I found a few tough guys to have a friendly chat with her about life ideals, and they all praised her as great."
