Chapter 248 Aunt and Nephew
Tao Zi smiled happily and jokingly said, "I don't remember any of this."
If the note hadn't said "Shaohua deceived me, and Huanhuan didn't know it", she still wouldn't have been able to react.
Shaohua looked grim, but soon calmed down: "That's right, there's nothing to be angry about. He's just a dying man."
Tao Zi looked at her and asked, "I understand you don't want to put Huan Huan in danger, but why did you lie to me?"
Shaohua laughed sickly, "Alas, I'm not the type to explain my strategy to a dying person."
Tao Zi looked at the frantic Shao Hua and said directly, "When you reach the Nascent Soul stage, the memories you can recover are not only those you erased yourself, but also those erased by others, right?"
Shao Hua looked at her with a smile. A small purple insect with many tentacles appeared on his hand. He said irrelevantly, "You hate poisonous insects, so I will let you die from them."
"It shouldn't be related to the memory I erased myself. It must have been erased by someone else."
Tao Zi looked at the insect that was slowly flapping its wings, and suddenly realized: "You don't care about the Minglan Sect, so you are a demon cultivator, right?"
Shaohua is both good and evil, and according to legend, he has a close relationship with the devil.
"The Minglan Sect colluded with a demon cultivator. Ah, no, it should be that demon cultivator who colluded with an alien race. You wanted to protect him, so you didn't want me to remember everything. So you used the secret technique of the Chunqiu Sect to destroy the way I could recover my memory."
"Shut up!"
Shaohua was furious.
Tao Zi laughed. She had just lied casually, but she didn't expect it to be true.
She sneered, "I shouldn't have let you live until now."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "But you can't kill me in the teahouse, or Xuan Huan will find out."
The bug in Shaohua's hand fell onto her hand, and when it was about to drill into her skin, Tao Zi tore the rope and picked up the bug with a dagger.
Shao Hua took a few steps back in surprise: "Aren't you poisoned?"
She sighed softly and smiled: "Shaohua, you are always too confident in yourself."
She didn't care. Countless silver needles appeared at her side. She said, "Although I am a medical practitioner and my spiritual energy is not offensive, I am still a cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage. Tao Zi, I have the confidence to do so."
Tao Zi said: "Master Shaohua has countless ways of killing people. Who wouldn't be afraid? But next time you act, don't be so impulsive. It's easy to make mistakes."
"A mere body cultivator..."
Shaohua's voice suddenly stopped, she turned her head to look to the side, and Qiu Huanhuan appeared there.
"Huan Huan?"
Qiu Xuanhuan looked at her, his eyes full of disbelief. He said, "Aunt, what are you going to do?"
Shaohua quickly retracted the silver needle, and the little fox jumped onto Tao Zi, grinning at Shaohua.
Yue Qingya stepped forward and protected Tao Zi behind him with a cold expression.
After careful consideration, Li Xiu decisively hid beside Qiu Huanhuan, pretending to be a mute.
Qiu Xuanhuan looked at Shaohua and continued, "Aunt, you know everything, but you hid it from me. You clearly knew that Qi Ran and I were friends."
She looked at her nephew and finally took a tough stance: "Xuan Huan, Auntie is doing this for your own good. Leave this place immediately."
"That's what my father said when he told me not to have any contact with you."
Shaohua is silent.
Qiu Xuanhuan took a step forward and pressed forward: "I already know all this, so I must join in. Aunt, if you really want to do this for my own good, then tell us everything."
She closed her eyes and sighed weakly.
"Xuan Huan... Never mind, Auntie won't kill her."
Seeing Shaohua turning around and about to leave, Qiu Xuanhuan went over to stop her, and Li Xiu quietly hid beside Tao Zi.
"Aunt, colluding with aliens is a serious crime. Do you really want to protect a criminal?"
Shaohua looked at him and said calmly but stubbornly, "Xuanhuan, Auntie believes that he has never betrayed her, just as you trust that she has never defected to a foreign race."
Qiu Xuanhuan was speechless.
The little fox suddenly spoke up: "Since you believe him, why do you want to prevent Tao Zi from remembering everything?"
Shao Hua turned to look at them, and suddenly felt something was wrong: "My consciousness cannot be wrong. When we talked about these things, you were not here."
The little fox complained in his heart: Of course it was Tao Zi who conveyed it on the spot.
No one explained the reason, and Shaohua didn't pursue it further. He simply said, "Everyone has their own persistence. If one day he really surrenders to the alien race, I will kill him without you having to do anything."
She was silent for a moment, then continued, "Yue Qiran, you promised me not to involve Xuan Huan in this, but you broke your promise."
Yue Qingya became nervous and protected Tao Zi tightly, not daring to be distracted.
She looked at Shaohua and said, "You lied to me too, didn't you?"
Qiu Xuanhuan quickly replied, "Yes, we're even now."
Shao Hua sighed and whispered, "Forget it, Yue Qiran, it's a good thing that you can't remember all that. After all, you can't even deal with the Ming Lan Sect, so why bother knowing so many things?"
Li Xiu took this opportunity to boldly ask, "Senior, may I ask a question?"
Shao Hua glanced at him and was about to refuse, but she found Qiu Huanhuan looking at her eagerly, so she had no choice but to say, "Ask."
"Why didn't Qinglan Tianzun kill her?"
"Who knows? I'm curious too. Maybe it's just a gesture of kindness."
Tao Zi stood there, unable to deny it.
Shao Hua looked at Qiu Huan and said, "Xuan Huan, if something happens to you because of her one day, auntie will send her to accompany you."
Before he could open his mouth, Shaohua disappeared from the spot. He lowered his head in distress, looking gloomy, and said, "Qi Ran, I'm sorry, my aunt hurt you."
Tao Zi recalled her speculation when she first learned about the secret techniques of the Spring and Autumn Sect, and said with a smile: "It's okay. Even if I knew the consequences earlier, I would still do it. After all, I have no other choice."
It is always better to be sober for a while than to live in a muddle.
Qiu Xuanhuan pursed her lips, still in a bad mood. The little fox tugged at Tao Zi's clothes and said, "Your clothes are too wet. It's uncomfortable to stay in. Go back and change quickly."
Tao Zi patted its head perfunctorily and said, "I know."
Li Xiu watched them from the side and asked quietly, "Why did I become your companion in the first place?"
"You asked for it."
He choked with sobs and was speechless, thinking about what might happen next, and began to consider how to write a suicide note - not every young man will have a nephew.
Qiu Xuanhuan said expressionlessly, "If you regret it, I'll send you back now."
Li Xiu shuddered and immediately said, "No, I don't regret it!"
He was telling the truth, just as the fear was real and the anticipation was even more real - it was exciting, wasn't it?
Looking at Li Xiu's ever-changing expression, Tao Zi didn't bother to guess what he was thinking and said, "Go back, Xuan Huan, you should also return to the sect, but don't reveal any abnormality, even in front of your father."
"I know, you can rest assured."
