Chapter 436: Startling the Snake in the Grass

"Don't be so reckless next time." Qin Qixuan's words revealed deep worry and blame, but his eyes revealed the concern for Zhao Shuoer that he could not hide.

He sighed softly, as if trying to calm his inner turmoil, and then turned his eyes firmly to Pei Xuanyi and Fu Yan.

The three of them sat together and began to discuss the complicated and difficult situation in front of them.

Qin Qixuan described the battle just now in detail, while Pei Xuanyi and Fu Yan listened attentively, occasionally interrupting to ask questions, trying to understand the situation more comprehensively.

Fu Yan's brows were locked, and his face was full of worry about the current situation. He pondered for a moment, then spoke calmly.

"Now it seems that we have made a surprise attack today. These assassins are just pawns manipulated by the mastermind behind the scenes. The real mastermind is still hiding and cunning, and he doesn't even leave us a single person alive to track down clues."

Just as the three of them were discussing countermeasures intensively, Qin Xixi quietly took advantage of this gap to act. She walked quietly to the assassin's body, squatted quietly, and began to concentrate on examining these assassins who had lost their lives.

Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, not missing any details. She examined the wounds on the assassins one by one, observing the shape, depth and location of the wounds, trying to infer their martial arts and attack habits.

At the same time, she carefully checked their clothes, looking for clues or marks that might be hidden. In addition, she carefully checked the weapons carried by the assassins, hoping to find clues of the mastermind behind these cold weapons.

Qin Xixi's movements were light and quick, trying not to make any noise so as not to disturb Qin Qixuan, Pei Xuanyi and Fu Yan who were discussing.

Suddenly, Qin Xixi's eyes were firmly attracted by a special token on the waist of an assassin.

The token was simple and exquisite, with a unique logo engraved on it. The lines were smooth but mysterious, as if telling an unknown secret.

This discovery made her heart beat faster, and her intuition told her that this token might be the key to solving all the mysteries.

At this moment, Pei Xuanyi also noticed Qin Xixi's abnormality. He followed her gaze, squatted down curiously, and carefully observed the token with Qin Xixi. His eyes were full of exploration and doubts, and he was obviously attracted by this mysterious token.

"This is the token of Ren Laijiao." Qin Xixi's tone was very affirmative, as if she was fully confident of this conclusion. Her fingers gently stroked the patterns on the token, not letting go of every detail, as if she was interpreting the secrets in it.

Pei Xuanyi frowned upon hearing this, and was obviously familiar with the name. He said after thinking for a moment.

"Ren Lai Sect? I've heard some rumors about them. They act in a secretive way, and there are many masters in the sect, but I didn't expect them to intervene in this matter."

His eyes revealed his vigilance against unknown forces, and he was also surprised and admired Qin Xixi's discovery.

Qin Xixi nodded, her understanding was far more than that.

In her previous life, Ren Lai Sect helped An Yueya a lot, and she was also well aware of the strength and influence of this sect. She clearly remembered that the leader of Ren Lai Sect was highly skilled in martial arts, ruthless, and extremely ambitious. Now that this token has appeared, there is no doubt that Ren Lai Sect has secretly intervened in this matter, which makes the whole situation more complicated and dangerous.

Moreover, the leader of Ren Lai Sect and Anyueya had some intersections. She clearly remembered that there was a problem with the leader of Ren Lai Sect's martial arts. Every full moon night, he would suffer from heart-wrenching pain. And it was Anyueya who helped him solve this problem, making him obedient to Anyueya.

Now, Qin Xixi carefully analyzed the whole situation from the perspective of the timeline. She speculated that the leader of Ren Lai Sect might want to take revenge because he was about to die. This urgent desire for revenge may be caused by the heart-wrenching pain in his body.

As far as Qin Xixi knew, the illness suffered by the leader of Ren Lai Sect was getting worse. Every full moon night, he was like wandering at the gates of hell. That kind of heart-wrenching pain and endless despair may undoubtedly give rise to his extreme desire for revenge. In such a situation, his behavior is likely to become more unpredictable and dangerous.

However, the fact that Ren Lai Cult leader has not yet colluded with Anyueya may mean that he is actively seeking a more powerful ally, or is waiting for a more favorable opportunity. Such a situation undoubtedly provides Qin Xixi with a rare opportunity.

When this thought flashed through her mind, Qin Xixi's mind suddenly moved. She keenly captured this fleeting opportunity and realized that this might be the key to her ability to change the entire situation.

Since Ren Lai Cult leader is now isolated and helpless and eager for revenge, perhaps she can take this opportunity to try to subdue him to her camp.

Once this bold idea came into being, it quickly took root in Qin Xixi's heart. She began to carefully consider how to take advantage of the current situation and formulate a thorough plan to achieve her goal.

Fu Yan also took a closer look and clearly saw the logo on the token. He frowned slightly and showed some doubts on his face.

In his impression, Ren Laijiao has always been a secretive and well-planned organization, and their leader is known for his careful consideration and superb strategy. However, this time their actions seemed quite reckless and even somewhat reckless, which was very different from Ren Laijiao's previous style.

"Strange," Fu Yan muttered to himself, "The leader of the Ren Lai Sect has always acted cautiously, why is he so reckless this time?"

He looked up at Qin Xixi and Pei Xuanyi, his eyes revealing exploration and doubt.

The three looked at each other in silence, all realizing that there might be deeper secrets hidden behind this incident. The abnormal behavior of the leader of the Ren Lai Sect undoubtedly added more uncertainty and challenges to their subsequent investigations and actions.

However, since the assassin's body is already available, it is not a complete loss.

At least this token can also show that this incident was done by the Ren Lai Sect and has nothing to do with Fu Yan. The emperor can also reduce his suspicion of him in his heart.

Although Fu Yan did not say it, everyone understood what the discovery of the Ren Lai Sect token meant.

Everyone looked at Fu Yan knowingly. Pei Xuanyi calmly arranged the guards to protect Qin Xixi and Anyueya.

The three of them left with the tokens on the guards and went to the study to see the emperor.
