Chapter 247 Shaohua Takes Action
Hearing this question, Tao Zi poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him, saying with a smile: "Lian Qingzhou colluded with the alien race and was accidentally discovered. I became the scapegoat."
Qiu Xuanhuan mocked expressionlessly, "I told you that you would be killed by those people sooner or later, but you kept protecting them."
Yue Qingya's eyes were complicated, and Li Xiu coughed several times.
He was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Yue Qingya briefly recounted the incident, and Qiu Xuanhuan's expression grew serious. "Are you saying someone is controlling Qi Ran?"
"Almost."
He twirled the silver needle in his hand, his expression growing colder. Li Xiu cautiously took a step back and said, "Lunch time is up. I'll be out first..."
The sound stopped abruptly, and a silver needle was pointed directly at his eyes.
Qiu Xuanhuan's voice was filled with coldness: "Is he really reliable?"
Li Xiu was completely upset. What was going on in this person's brain? Why was he suddenly targeting him?
Tao Zi glanced at the silver needle and said with a smile, "It's useful, keep it."
The silver needle disappeared, Qiu Xuanhuan leaned back in his chair and asked about other things.
Li Xiu escaped death and was covered in cold sweat.
He forced a smile and said, "Everyone, I'll go downstairs and prepare lunch first."
"Wait."
Qiu Xuanhuan called out to him. Li Xiu wanted to cry but had no tears. He forced a smile and said, "Senior, is there anything I can help you with?"
He ordered a few dishes and reminded, "I want them hot."
Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly: "Okay."
Yue Qingya and Tao Zi looked at each other, both feeling a little amused and helpless. Huan Huan's father was the head of the Chunqiu Sect. Apart from his cultivation, he had never suffered any hardship in life.
After watching the man close the door and leave, Qiu Huanhuan asked, "What's wrong with your throat?"
Tao Zi said nonchalantly, "He was poisoned, and he's lucky to still be able to talk."
His expression became more serious: "Qingya, tell me what happened again."
Does this mean you don't trust her?
As if he could see what she was thinking, Qiu Xuanhuan snorted coldly and said, "You've kept it a secret from us for so long, I won't ask you."
Tao Zi's mouth twitched, and she looked at Yue Qingya and said, "Tell him I'm going out for a walk first."
"Go ahead."
She stood up and walked out, meeting Li Xiu on the way. Facing his expectant gaze, Tao Zi said ruthlessly, "I'll go out by myself."
Li Xiu grumbled, "Your friend is too moody."
"He just doesn't have normal brain circuits."
After Tao Zi said goodbye to Li Xiu, she went into a teahouse on the street.
The teahouse owner led her to a private room on the second floor, where Liu Yue was sitting waiting for her.
Liu Yue stood up and bowed: "Miss."
"Be more casual, no need to be so formal."
She said respectfully, "Yes."
"You suddenly sent me a message. Is there something wrong?"
Liu Yue used a sound-isolating sound before explaining, "It's from the Punishment Hall."
"Um?"
"A lot of people escaped from the torture hall. They seem to be looking for something."
Tao Zi understood after a little thought that it was most likely the message she left for Xing Zhan that was working.
Tao Zi took out the hairpin from the storage ring and the letter to the Xingtang, saying, "Find a way to get it to them."
"yes."
Liu Yue took the letter and continued, "My people followed them and got some news."
"Tell me about it."
She said, "Lian Qingzhou was abandoned."
Tao Zi raised her eyebrows. She had also heard about this matter.
Liu Yue explained it more clearly: "It's completely ruined. It seems to be something that happened at Xulan Palace."
She thought of the Xulan Palace Master's self-destruction and calmly commented, "She's really lucky."
"Besides, there are these things."
She took out another storage ring. Tao Zi took it and looked at it. It was full of spirit stones.
"Is that enough for you?"
Liu Yue nodded and lowered his voice, "Someone here has discovered a spiritual mine. Although it's small, it's more than enough."
Tao Zi was shocked and looked at her and said, "Spiritual ore?"
"Yes." Liu Yue paused, then continued, "Although the location is remote, the spiritual stone aura leaked during mining will inevitably be noticed by other sects. I plan to sell it. Does the young lady have any ideas?"
She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said decisively, "Contact the Cheng family in central Taiwan."
Liu Yue didn't ask why and agreed straightforwardly.
Tao Zi continued, "Pay attention to which sect the people sent by the Cheng family belong to, and send people to infiltrate accordingly."
"yes."
After Liu Yue left, Tao Zi looked at the notes again, but the more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong.
She remembered that she had some notes that she hadn't read yet, so she cut her finger and soaked the paper with her blood.
The words above slowly appeared, and Tao Zi's face became more and more ugly.
She put the note back with a sullen face.
Suddenly, Tao Zi smelled a fragrance, her face changed, and she hurriedly held her breath, but her body was already half limp.
She wanted to fight back, but the familiar footsteps behind her made her change her mind.
"Snap"
The teacup fell to the ground and Tao Zi lay on the table motionless.
Looking at Tao Zi, the visitor snorted and waved his hand, and the two figures disappeared from the spot.
Not long after, the waiter knocked on the door with a plate of fruit, but no one answered. He realized something was wrong, so he pushed the door open and saw broken teacups all over the floor.
The waiter's face changed and he hurried downstairs to remind the boss.
The little fox suddenly jumped up, slammed its paw on the table, and said anxiously, "Something happened to Tao Zi!"
Qiu Xuanhuan was bewildered. "This fox can talk? No, who is Tao Zi?"
Li Xiu picked up the little fox and rushed out after saying "your friend".
Yue Qingya also followed Qiu Huanhuan out.
At this time, Tao Zi was in the deep mountains and forests, her hands were tied and she was hanging on a tree.
A man in black stood opposite her. Her voice was so hoarse that it was hard to tell what she meant by her original pronunciation: "Yue Qiran, you really know how to commit suicide."
Tao Zi was doused with cold water. She forced herself to open her eyes, looked at the man in black, and said, "Shaohua, we're old acquaintances. Why are you being so pretentious?"
The man in black looked at her in surprise, took off his cloak, revealing his familiar face, and said, "I underestimated you."
Tao Zi thought about the contents of the notes and said, "I really didn't expect this, Shaohua, you are such a liar."
"Oh? What did I lie to you about?"
She coughed several times and said slowly, "You told me that there is a way to unlock the secret technique of the Spring and Autumn Sect, and that I still have the possibility of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. But in reality, that's impossible, right?"
Shaohua laughed and said, "Yes, you were deceived."
Her tone was light and full of teasing. If you didn't know, you would have thought they were very good friends.
Tao Zi looked down at her and laughed suddenly: "Let me guess, what is your relationship with Huan Huan?"
Shao Hua's expression changed, and he cursed angrily, "How dare you mention Huan Huan? You promised me not to let Huan Huan join the game, and now you appear in front of him!"
