Rong Qi fed her a healing pill, glanced at the corpses beside him, and then had someone bring Hongxiu over.
Hongxiu clutched her chest as she looked at the young man. She couldn't believe that he could send her flying so far with a single palm strike, and that she couldn't even catch it.
"Who are you? What is your relationship with this little girl? Why did you save her?"
Rong Qi looked at her dangerously: "You should think about your last words. If you dare to hurt Jiao Jiao, your sect is no longer worth keeping."
Hongxiu looked at him with amusement: "You overestimate yourself. Destroying my sect? That's a joke."
Rong Qi parted his thin lips slightly: "It seems there are none left. Then die."
Rong Qi raised his hand and pulled Hongxiu towards him, then grabbed her neck with his bare hand, pressing hard with his palm. Hongxiu stared wide-eyed, dying with her eyes wide open.
Hongxiu never understood why this young man was so unreasonable. He hadn't even said a word, so why didn't he leave any last words?
Unfortunately, she died, and she could no longer say anything more.
Rong Qi threw Hongxiu's body on the ground and looked down at Feng Qinghuang: "Jiaojiao, who is this person?"
Feng Qinghuang covered her mouth and chuckled. She didn't even know who this person was, yet A Qi had already crushed him to death with his bare hands. Truly worthy of being called A Qi.
“Aqi, this old woman and these people are all from the Jade Maiden Palace. You Xuewu sent them to kill me.”
Upon hearing that it was You Xuewu again, Rong Qi wished he could go there right now and tear You Xuewu to pieces. He had let her go before, but he never expected that she would dare to hire someone to kill Jiaojiao. Did she think she had lived too long?
But the most important thing right now is to go home and heal Jiao Jiao's injuries. Although he has given her medicine, she won't recover so quickly. It's better to heal her myself. He can't bear to see her in pain.
Rong Qi raised his hand and ordered, "Take these corpses to Youlan Kingdom, exterminate the Jade Maiden Palace, and give all the corpses to You Xuewu. Send her master to her bedside, and after she has looked at each of the corpses, then grind her bones to ashes."
Rong Qi had just finished speaking when Feng Qinghuang stopped him.
"Wait for Aqi."
"What, is Jiaojiao going to let her off the hook?"
Feng Qinghuang shook her head: "No, Aqi, it's just that the four-nation peace agreement has only just been signed. If You Xuewu dies, Junior Uncle will probably be very sad. I'm afraid that the peace agreement might have some problems. However, I won't let her off easily if she dares to send someone to assassinate me."
"Aqi, look, this is the Bone-Shattering Pill I just researched. Give You Xuewu one, and I guarantee she'll spend the rest of her life in bed. No matter what part of her body she moves or exerts force, the bones in that area will shatter. How about that, pretty good, right?"
Rong Qi nodded upon hearing what Feng Qinghuang said, agreeing that it was a better method than simply killing her.
"Go, do as Jiaojiao says."
The guard accepted the order and left. After the guard disappeared, the corpse on the ground also vanished.
Rong Qi picked her up, and Feng Qinghuang nestled obediently in his arms, feeling incredibly safe and secure.
"Why did Aqi emerge from seclusion? Did he break through to a higher level?"
Rong Qi nodded: "Yes, after I broke through, I went to your house to look for you, but you weren't there. I figured you had gone to Dark Night Pavilion, so I went there to look for you. Dark Night said you had left a long time ago, but you weren't home, so I looked for you on the street. If I had come earlier, Jiao Jiao wouldn't have gotten hurt."
"It's not Aqi's fault. I was thinking of practicing my skills after breaking through to the Spirit Saint realm. As for the fact that the secret guards aren't around, it's because the Emperor and Empress stayed at the Phoenix Prince's residence a few days ago, and I was worried about their safety, so I transferred the secret guards there to keep watch. Now that the Emperor and Empress have just left, I haven't had a chance to transfer them back yet."
Rong Qi sighed: "Jiaojiao, you must remember that your own safety is the most important thing, you know? Besides, the guards around them are all top-notch, they don't need Jiaojiao's guards."
Knowing that she meant well, how could Rong Qi bear to say harsh words?
Feng Qinghuang nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I understand, Aqi. Besides, I haven't used my spirit energy ball yet. If I use it, that old woman won't get away with it either."
Rong Qi wrapped his cloak tighter around himself: "Jiaojiao, remember, the spirit energy ball is only an auxiliary tool. Don't treat it as something to save your life, understand?"
Feng Qinghuang was very obedient at the moment: "Yes, yes, I remember. Aqi, let's go home, but we have to go home quietly, okay? We can't let Mom and Dad know that I'm hurt."
Rong Qi nodded: "Okay, I'll heal your wounds when we get back. Otherwise, they'll still worry when they see you tomorrow."
"Okay, Aqi."
Rong Qi quickened his pace, weaving through the darkness. The stench of blood on Jiao Jiao's body pained him terribly.
Although they were all external injuries, he just couldn't bear to look at them.
That guy really got off easy. If he wasn't in a hurry to treat Jiaojiao's injuries, he would have definitely treated her better.
