"I already know where the monster is!"
Xiao Ning's voice suddenly rang out in the silent scene, like a thunderclap, making everyone look at him in astonishment.
Yun Yao and Xia Ling looked at each other in confusion, obviously very surprised by Xiao Ning's words. Si Kong Qing showed a look of surprise, he stared at Xiao Ning, as if trying to find some clues from his expression.
However, the most eye-catching person was Lin Qiaoer who was hiding behind Sikong Qing. A trace of fear flashed in her eyes. Although it was only for a moment, it did not escape Xiao Ning's eyes.
Xiao Ning looked around and saw everyone's reactions. He raised his lips slightly, coughed lightly, and then slowly stroked his chin and said, "Master Sikong, the three of us have been searching the mansion for the past few days. The reason why we didn't find the monster is not because the monster is too cunning, but because we missed something."
Upon hearing this, Sikong Qing frowned slightly, looked at Xiao Ning with a puzzled look, and asked, "Omitted? What do you mean?"
Xiao Ning nodded and answered affirmatively: "There is actually one place in the mansion that we haven't searched yet, and that is the room of you, Master Sikong, and your concubine Lin Qiao'er!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Ling seemed to suddenly understand something, clapped his hands suddenly, and shouted loudly:
"That's right! Master Sikong, we haven't checked your yard yet! And your housekeeper told us not to go in before, so we never went in!"
Sikong Qing looked suspicious, obviously unaware of the situation at hand. He muttered to himself:
"What on earth is going on? When did I tell you not to check my room? Where is Lao Zhang? Where is Lao Zhang?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a slight sound of footsteps. Butler Lao Zhang hurriedly walked into the hall from outside. He bowed his body, came to Sikong Qing with a flattering face, and asked respectfully, "Master, what can I do for you?"
Seeing this, Sikong Qing frowned slightly and asked in a serious tone, "Old Zhang, these three immortals said that you don't allow them to check my room. Is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Old Zhang lowered his head and responded, "Master, it is true. However, this is what Madam Lin meant. She said that it is the master's private space and strangers cannot be allowed to enter and leave at will."
After Sikong Qing finished listening to the explanation, he immediately turned his gaze to Lin Qiao'er who was standing beside him. When Lin Qiao'er saw Sikong Qing looking at her, her heart tightened. She quickly stepped forward, took Sikong Qing's arm, and explained tenderly:
"Master, I did say that. You know my personality. I don't like strangers, let alone letting them into my boudoir. That would be..."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Qiao'er began to sob softly like a delicate white flower. Her frail appearance made people feel pity for her.
Xia Ling and Yun Yao witnessed this scene, and they felt an indescribable nausea in their hearts. They really couldn't learn such hypocritical behavior.
However, Sikong Qing had a special liking for this kind of affectation. He quickly reached out his hand, pressed it on her shoulder, and comforted her softly. Then, he turned his eyes to Xiao Ning, his face darkened, and he said in a serious tone:
"My Immortal, you said that you didn't search our room. Do you think I was hiding a monster? Or do you think there is something wrong with my concubine?"
Facing Sikong Qing's questioning, Xiao Ning hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Master, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. The reason I said this is mainly to ensure that everything is foolproof. Let us search it, which will be good for you and your wife..."
“That’s enough!”
Sikong Qing interrupted Xiao Ning in anger. He felt that Xiao Ning was just making wild guesses and even directed his suspicion at himself because he hadn't found the monster. If he really had hidden the monster, why would he go to so much trouble to find them? This was simply ridiculous.
"I don't have the time to mess around with you guys right now, so just leave now. At worst I'll just give you your commission! Lao Zhang, go take them to get the money!"
After receiving the order, Lao Zhang came to the three people and motioned them to leave. Yun Yao and Xia Ling had already been upset by Si Kong Qing's attitude, and when they saw him ordering them to leave, they were even more furious. In contrast, Xiao Ning seemed to be confident.
"It seems that my guess is correct. There is indeed something wrong with this woman."
Just as the three were about to be pushed out of the door by the housekeeper, Xiao Ning flashed in front of Si Kong Qing, grabbed Lin Qiao'er's hand, and shouted:
"You bold monster, why don't you show your true form immediately!"
His angry shout stunned everyone present. And Lin Qiao'er had obviously never experienced such a scene before, she twisted her body desperately, trying to break free.
"What do you want to do? Help! Master, help!"
When Sikong Qing heard her cry, he came to his senses and a fierce look appeared on his face.
"You little bastard! What do you want to do? Let my woman go!"
However, Xiao Ning turned a deaf ear to his words, as if he had not heard them at all. He had a blank expression on his face, and his left index finger was moving as fast as lightning.
Suddenly, a dazzling flame flashed in his hand, like a meteor across the night sky, instantly illuminating the entire space. Xiao Ning raised his hand without hesitation and slammed the blazing flame in his hand towards Lin Qiaoer's head.
In an instant, the flames shot up into the sky, as if they were about to break through the clouds. Lin Qiaoer let out an extremely shrill scream, which echoed in the air and made people shudder.
Xiao Ning quickly threw her down, and Lin Qiao'er fell to the ground limply, as if all her strength had been drained away. Her body kept twitching, and she was obviously in great pain. As she twisted her body, the flames that had originally only burned on her head quickly spread to her entire body as if they were given life.
