The various factions started arguing, and one by one, their crimes were exposed, plunging Yao Xiaodie and Shang Qinghan into despair.
"I didn't ask you to pay more money. My health has been deteriorating over the years." The martial arts alliance leader's eyes were deep, and he immediately ordered: "Capture Yao Xiaodie and Shang Qinghan alive!"
Everyone in the martial arts alliance sprang into action, their swords, spears, and halberds pointing directly at the center of the hall, while Shang Qinghan stubbornly refused to admit defeat.
But before he had taken two steps, he pulled a whistle from his clothes and blew it loudly.
The sharp whistle pierced the eardrums, making people's brains buzz.
The next moment, thousands of Gu worms emerged from all around the hall.
They began attacking everyone except Shang Qinghan.
The Gu worms are poisonous; being bitten eight times will result in death.
Everyone in the lobby felt threatened and quickly descended into chaos.
Shang Qinghan also took this opportunity to escape quickly.
Only Yao Xiaodie remained, and she fell into the hands of the Martial Arts Alliance.
Once Si Jin was certain that Shang Qinghan had run far away, she took out her bone flute and used it to dispel the Gu worms, putting everyone at ease.
Fortunately, those who came to the banquet all possessed some martial arts skills and would not be harmed by the Gu worms in a short period of time.
As they parted, they all bowed and thanked Si Jin.
After this commotion, the fact that the White Moon Cult Leader was controlled by Shang Qinghan became known throughout the martial arts world.
Ling Sijin's reputation in the martial arts world gradually began to improve.
… …
After leaving the banquet, I returned to my residence.
After closing the door, Shang Linyuan pulled Si Jin back to the inner room to ask her questions.
"Just now in the lobby, the Gu worms didn't attack me. Were you the one controlling them?"
Si Jin poured herself a cup of tea and nodded casually.
After finishing his drink, he corrected himself, "I didn't just protect you; I didn't hurt anyone else either."
"Then protect me first, right?"
"Hmm." Si Jin ruffled the wolf cub's hair. "Protecting one's own family is the right thing to do."
Shang Linyuan smiled happily, kissed his hand, and then asked, "Then why did you deliberately let Shang Qinghan go?"
Si Jin wanted to argue, but the other party insisted, "Don't lie to me, I can tell."
“Alright, because only by letting him go will he go to find the real location of my mother’s body.” Si Jin stood up and casually untied the sash of her skirt.
He explained, "When a person is at their wit's end, they will go to the place where their deepest obsession lies."
"Shang Qinghan dedicated his entire life to my mother, raising medicine people and even having many women undergo plastic surgery to look like her. So before he died, he would definitely be there to watch over my mother."
"At that time, I will be able to bring her body back for burial."
The original owner's obsession was to let her parents rest in peace, and since she had come to save people, she had to do so.
Si Jin breathed a sigh of relief and reached for the red thread on the back of her clothes.
After several unsuccessful attempts, he casually said, "Come here and help me take this off; it's a little too small."
"Oh." Shang Linyuan nodded, stood up, and with a racing heart, came up behind Si Jin.
His slender fingers touched the red thread on his back, and on a sudden inspiration, he tied the thread into a knot that was impossible to untie.
Then, Green Tea Abyss frowned, looking aggrieved and full of self-reproach: "Jingjing, I'm so sorry, I'm so clumsy, I tied the knot too tightly, what should I do?"
Si Jin rolled her eyes at him: "What do you think?"
"Let me think about it..." Shang Linyuan said, while wrapping his arms around the waist of the person in front of him.
With her other hand, she gently tugged at the back of the dress, at the most vulnerable part of the fabric, and asked softly, "Jinjin, are you not going to wear this dress tomorrow?"
As soon as the person in his arms nodded, he immediately increased the pressure in his hands.
