What could have enraged Eunuch Xu so much was related to Xie Zhun's previous arrangements...
Regarding the murderer, a name came to Ning Xi'er's mind.
Xie Zhun was still unconscious, so Ning Xi'er fed him some spiritual spring liquid to help him sleep more soundly.
He handed Xie Zhun over to Haitang, Aoxue, Xuanlei, and Xuandian to look after, and then walked out on his own.
Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang were holding one person down, pressing his face firmly to the ground.
Standing to the side was Eunuch Xu, whose eyes were bloodshot and who was in a hysterical state.
Ning Xi'er approached and helped Eunuch Xie up.
Because of her action, Eunuch Xu turned his head and looked at Ning Xi'er with a mixture of gratitude and self-reproach.
Eunuch Xu looked back at the ground, almost straining with all his might, "Speak! Tell me!"
Ning Xi'er handed Eunuch Xu over to the guard beside her and took a step forward to squat down.
"It was you who tried to kill me time and time again?"
Ning Xi'er's voice was expressionless, but Xuan Feng and Xuan Shuang had gotten a general idea of her temperament over this period of time...
The angrier this master got, the more indifferent he seemed.
The person pinned to the ground was unable to move.
A mocking smile tugged at the corner of his lips, but he remained silent.
"Let him go!"
Ning Xi'er gave orders to Xuan Feng and Xuan Shuang.
Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang immediately changed color, never expecting that Xu Yan had been hiding his true intentions so well...
Even Xuanfeng could only manage a draw against him...
With Xuan Shuang's help, they were able to capture him.
After releasing him, Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang worried that something unexpected might happen again.
Ning Xi'er didn't want to say the same thing a second time.
The moment Xie Zhun threw himself on top of her to shield her from the knife, she felt an urge to tear the murderer to pieces...
Even now, this idea remains unchanged.
He hesitated slightly upon seeing Eunuch Xu, but seeing Xu Yan's provocative expression, both old and new grudges needed to be settled!
Ning Xi'er's gaze was icy cold. Xuan Feng and Xuan Shuang, intimidated by her aura, dared not disobey and released Xu Yan.
Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang each took only half a step back, so they could still make a move if anything changed.
Seeing their reaction, Ning Xi'er almost laughed.
It's also her fault for hiding her strength and not letting them realize her true power. She's too low-key!
It's time to show her true strength!
Let's start with Xu Yan.
With the restraints released, Xu Yan flipped over and immediately stood up from the ground.
He abandoned his former gentle and harmless demeanor, his face now filled with indifference and mockery.
From the eyebrows to the corners of the lips.
Ning Xi'er then remembered why she had been paying extra attention to Xu Yan ever since he appeared...
Because his expressions and movements were too perfect, almost flawless...
But the more it seems so, the more unreal it feels.
Ning Xi'er had this intuition back then: Xu Yan might have a side that no one knew about...
The long sword that had stabbed Xie Zhun had been taken away by Xuan Feng and thrown to the ground.
Xu Yan pulled a dagger from his sleeve and assumed an attacking stance.
Everyone present, except Ning Xi'er, was utterly astonished.
Almost instantly, Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang stepped forward, ready to attack...
Angelica dahurica and licorice rushed out from behind, blocking Ning Xi'er's path...
But someone was faster than them. Eunuch Xu pushed aside the guards who were helping him and stood in front of Ning Xi'er.
He glared at the boy in front of him, who was half a head taller than him, and said angrily:
"You beast! What do you think you're doing? Stop right now!"
But Xu Yan remained unmoved.
The mockery intensified at the corners of his lips, and he lowered his body even further, clearly about to launch an attack.
The other party didn't move, so Eunuch Xu spoke first. Even though his voice was full of anger, Ning Xi'er, Xuan Feng, and Xuan Shuang could all hear it...
Grandpa Xu still held a sliver of hope for Xu Yan, not wanting him to go down a path of no return...
After more than a decade of raising them, as blood relatives, how could they easily give up even in the face of disappointment?
Because they understood this, even though Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang had both prepared for offense and defense, neither of them took the initiative to launch an attack.
"Xuanfeng, Xuanlei, help Eunuch Xu to the back to rest!"
Ning Xi'er instructed that with Eunuch Xu present, there would be some reservations.
Whether she lays her hands on him or Xu Yan gets beaten, Eunuch Xu will likely not feel good...
Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang turned their heads, not daring to move at all.
While Bai Zhi and Gan Cao are not as skilled as them, if anything were to happen, Eunuch Xu's martial arts skills could hold them off...
After sending them away, Xuanfeng and Xuanshuangzhen were worried that something might happen.
"Oh!"
Xu Yan, sitting opposite, let out a sneer.
Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang immediately glared at him.
Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang exchanged a glance. Xuanshuang stepped forward and helped Eunuch Xu back...
Before Eunuch Xu could even struggle, the sleeping potion hidden in Ning Xi'er's sleeve immediately rendered him completely powerless...
Before fainting, Eunuch Xu used his last remaining consciousness to plead with Ning Xi'er...
His lips were lip-syncing to, "Leave him a whole corpse..."
As Eunuch Xu was helped away by Xuan Shuang, Xu Yan's gaze fell on Ning Xi'er's sleeve, which she had just flicked, revealing a hint of disdain.
Ning Xi'er tossed the sleeping potion from her sleeve to Bai Zhi behind her, then shook her other sleeve to show Xu Yan and the people around her that she hadn't taken anything.
He rolled up his sleeves, tying them into a drawstring shape, and immediately assumed a fighting stance.
He gave the order, "Get out of the way! No one is allowed to come forward!"
Xu Yan, on the other side, burst out with another sneer.
Ning Xi'er smiled and said: "Wait until I beat you to a pulp, and no one will come to save you!"
