He has almost never encountered this since he entered the industry.
“Thirty-something, maybe less than forty,” Er’er described simply.
Qiao Xi felt his description was too simplistic. "Anything else?"
"Your skills are superior to mine." Er'er objectively faced this fact, "You don't look very serious."
"Indecent?" Qiao Xi didn't quite understand this answer.
Er'er didn't know why he said that; it was probably just his first impression of the person.
After pondering for a while, Er'er finally gave up and replied, "I don't know how to describe it."
Qiao Xi opened her mouth, but then gave up.
Er'er seemed somewhat skeptical that Qiao Xi didn't recognize him. "He came to rescue you. You really don't know who he is? What's his identity?"
"If I knew, would I need to ask you?" Qiao Xi said helplessly.
Er'er was unsure whether to continue the conversation with her, and as if possessed, he suddenly asked, "Do you know about the Heavenly Slaughter Sect?"
"The Heavenly Slaughter Sect?" Qiao Xi had seen this organization in many places, and it was even referenced in some TV dramas.
She asked, both surprised and astonished, "Is it the legendary Heavenly Slaughter Sect?"
“That’s not a rumor,” Er’er replied directly.
so what?
Qiao Xi's thoughts were a bit confused. What was the purpose of his sudden question?
After thinking it over, there's only one possibility!
With a mixture of disbelief and skepticism, Qiao Xi tentatively asked, "You're not trying to tell me that the people who saved me were from the Heavenly Slaughter Sect, are you?"
"Ask yourself," Er'er said, feeling she had said too much.
Qiao Xi's chaotic thoughts remained unresolved for a long time, but she couldn't get any answers from Er Er either.
After much deliberation, she reluctantly picked up the dagger again and walked up to him, and Er'er immediately became wary of her again.
Unlike before, Qiao Xi didn't pry his mouth open. Instead, she cut the ropes binding him one by one. "Go."
"Are you really going to let me go?" Er'er was somewhat skeptical of her.
Qiao Xi said firmly, "Yes, I'm going to let you go, but my husband and the people outside definitely won't let you go, so good luck."
"But before you leave, I want to remind you of something." Qiao Xi sincerely reminded him, considering that he wasn't all that bad, "You'd better not go back to Ma Qianbang's side. If he's lucky enough, he probably won't be seen in the capital tonight."
Knowing Ah Jin as she did, she knew he wouldn't let anyone who hurt her get away with it.
Even if Ah Jin doesn't make a move, she still won't let Ma Qianbang off the hook. As for how to deal with him, there are many ways.
Er'er, in turn, reminded him, "He's not as easy to deal with as you think."
"I don't care who he is, Jun Jiuge is my friend, and it's unacceptable for him to make advances towards her." Qiao Xi's tone carried a unique sense of intimidation.
Er'er wasted no more time and jumped out of the window. There were two bodyguards outside, but he took them down in an instant.
Soon the shouts of pursuit rang out: "He's running away! Chase him!"
At the same time, Qi Jincheng rushed into the house immediately, calling out, "Xi'er."
Seeing Qiao Xi walking towards him unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He Fan followed closely behind, asking with concern, "Madam, are you alright?"
"It's alright," Qiao Xi said with a smile. "No need to chase after him. He's said everything he needed to say."
The implication was that Qiao Xi let them go.
Qi Jincheng immediately understood and instructed He Fan, "You guys go out first."
"Yes." He Fan accepted the order and left with several bodyguards.
Qi Jincheng only cared about whether his Xi'er was alright; as long as she was alright, nothing else mattered.
He just didn't know what Xi'er was planning, after all, she had quite a few little schemes up her sleeve these days.
"Did Xi'er let him go?" Qi Jincheng asked.
Qiao Xi held his hand and said frankly, "He's just a working man, there's no use keeping him around."
"Didn't Xi'er want to avenge herself?" Qi Jincheng's tone was not blaming at all, but only curious, wanting to know what Qiao Xi was up to.
Qiao Xi smacked her lips and said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor."
“Ma Qianbang?” Qi Jincheng immediately mentioned the culprit.
“It’s him,” Qiao Xi replied confidently.
"Xi'er, what do you want to do with him?" Qi Jincheng asked for her opinion.
Qiao Xi said without any mercy, "It would be best if I never heard the name Ma Qianbang again."
“Okay.” Qi Jincheng understood what she meant.
“However…” Qiao Xi said, rolling her eyes, “Before that, I want to figure something out.”
Qi Jincheng, wanting to hear more details, gestured for her to continue.
Qiao Xi rested her chin on her hand and said thoughtfully, "Ma Qianbang came to the capital to find something. He seems to be convinced that the thing is on Ninth Master."
"Xi'er wants to know what that is?" Qi Jincheng quickly understood what she meant.
Qiao Xi nodded and said, "Ninth Master doesn't want me to know, probably because he doesn't want me to be in danger, but now that we're friends, I need to find out."
"May I?"
“Xi’er was implicated because of that thing, so of course we have to find out the truth.” Qi Jincheng fully supported her in doing so.
Qiao Xi hugged him excitedly, "Okay."
Xiyuan Villa, in the southern suburbs.
Yan Luoheng looked at the pale-faced man who had fallen into a deep sleep with his arms wrapped in thick bandages, and his eyes gradually filled with anger.
In order not to disturb her, he suppressed his anger and left the room.
In an instant, his fierce aura enveloped the surroundings. His subordinates all bowed their heads respectfully, not daring to look him in the eye. Only one man dared to look up at him, waiting for his orders.
After a moment of silence, he dismissed his men, leaving only the man.
"Who did it?" The chilling tone went straight to the heart.
Without hesitation, the man replied immediately, "Ma Qianbang."
Upon hearing this, Yan Luoheng's eyes flashed with endless killing intent. "They say dogs have a keen sense of smell, and he really is a qualified dog."
"Should we get rid of it?" the man asked him.
Yan Luoheng said, word by word, "Before sunrise tomorrow morning."
"Yes." The man respectfully responded and went to make the arrangements. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and reported to the man, "Master, Mrs. Qi has also been implicated."
"Mrs. Qi?" A hint of doubt appeared on Yan Luoheng's gloomy face.
The man replied affirmatively, "Yes."
Yan Luoheng's suspicion deepened. "How did she get involved?"
The man shook his head slightly. "I don't know, but that's what that person said."
A smile gradually appeared on Yan Luoheng's lips. "That's really interesting."
"Will Qi Jincheng just let this go?" The man probably knew what Yan Luoheng was thinking, so he voiced his concern.
