Xiang Wanwan was stunned: "Dead?"
The maid nodded repeatedly, "I have made thorough inquiries. Wangchun didn't have time to say anything before he died. No one knows it was you who ordered it."
"That's good. Xiang Sheng lives up to her reputation as a fool. Even if she were left alone, she wouldn't have figured out the trick."
Xiang Wanwan's expression relaxed, but there was not much joy on her face.
Clearly, everything was going as she wished, and everything was moving steadily in the ideal direction, but why did she always feel like something was wrong?
…
"Miss Qin?"
Xiang Sheng stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the piano. His pair of distinct black and white eyes blinked, full of confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
Qin Ji came back to his senses from his shock, looked at the innocence on Xiang Sheng's face that didn't seem fake, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
After a moment of silence, Qin Ji forced a smile and shook his head, saying, "Nothing, I'm just a little surprised. Did the Patriarch really order you to leave immediately and return to the sect with me?"
"That's natural."
Xiang Sheng nodded, "How could I joke with you about such a serious matter?"
Qin Ji was speechless for a while, his mind a little confused.
She thought that everything was set in stone and she was ready to welcome Xiang Wanwan, but why did the final result still turn out to be Xiang Sheng?
Was she dreaming, or was the head of the Xiang family suddenly possessed by an evil spirit?
She was puzzled, but looking at Xiang Sheng, it was obvious that he had no idea what was going on and was just following orders, so it was useless for her to ask.
Thinking of this, she sighed secretly in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face: "In that case, let's set off immediately? But your body..."
"It's okay, my father has given me a lot of elixirs."
Xiang Sheng shook the medicine bottle in his hand and smiled brightly: "With this bottle of medicine, I can take care of my body on the road."
"That's great."
Qin Ji saw the medicine bottle and was finally sure that this was what Xiang Wenli meant. She explained in a more intimate tone, "I also have the elixir given by the young master, but... I don't understand pharmacology, and you are weak and cannot benefit from it, so I dare not give it to you casually. So I went to ask a fellow cultivator.
I didn't expect that after I left for a while, the Patriarch would personally take care of this matter. With the elixir given by the Patriarch, it would be great."
Xiang Sheng listened and nodded slightly, still smiling.
Qin Ji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had no other reaction.
Miss Sheng is simple-minded and probably won't care about the details.
"It's getting late today. I think we should rest for another night and set off tomorrow."
Qin Ji continued. This matter was full of strangeness, so she wanted to investigate it at night so she could tell the young master when she returned.
Xiang Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and was about to retort when he caught a glimpse of a group of people approaching. The words on the tip of his tongue suddenly changed, and he said timidly, "...Okay."
"not good!"
Qin Ji's brows furrowed as her decision was rejected outright. She followed the sound and saw the person coming, but her expression relaxed. "It's Butler Fu."
"Miss Qin."
Steward Fu stepped forward and made a slight greeting, then stood up and said, "It's not that this old servant won't let Miss Sheng go, but the head of the family has ordered Miss Sheng to leave for the Blazing Flame Sect immediately. We, the independent cultivators, may not be as strong as Miss Qin, but we are also experts in our field, so we can help you along the way."
Qin Ji was slightly surprised when she heard this, and asked in surprise, "Butler Fu is coming too?"
Butler Fu clasped his fists and said, "The master has given orders, and this old servant will obey them."
Qin Ji was silent for a moment, then said, "Then let's follow Butler Fu's instructions and set off immediately."
Butler Fu nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Qin, for your understanding."
The two of them quickly reached a unanimous decision, and no one asked Xiang Sheng's opinion.
A moment later, Butler Fu gave an order and the convoy set off from the back door.
Xiang Sheng sat in the carriage, and the voices of the guards on both sides could be heard, with no intention of suppressing their conversations.
"Didn't you say you were going to Blazing Flame Sect as quickly as possible? Why are you still riding in a carriage? Miss Sheng isn't favored at home, is she?"
"She is not favored, but look at how hard she is trying to walk. If she were to ride a horse, she would probably fall apart before she even reaches the Blazing Flame Sect."
"Tsk tsk... so weak. I heard she's a useless piece of shit with mixed spiritual roots, even more mixed than ours. Her path to cultivation is cut off. How many decades can she possibly live?"
"Let alone decades, what kind of person is Master Hongyu? Seeing his childhood sister in such a miserable state, he would probably get tired of her in a few years. After falling out of favor, who knows how the servants would bully him..."
"You guys, what are you arguing about? Just focus on your journey!"
Butler Fu shouted, and the noise outside the car gradually faded away.
Inside the carriage, Xiang Sheng lit the oil lamp fixed on the wall, and the dim light reflected a calm face.
She took out some dry food from the box beside her seat and ate it in small bites, gradually recalling lines of text in her mind.
The secret method "Death".
