Chapter 228 No Mercy
The girls who were traveling with us all looked expectant.
That is the legendary Tianming Pavilion, only those who are destined can enter!
Chen Jiaojiao affectionately took the old lady's arm and looked at Yun Qingqing meaningfully.
"If someone wants to apologize, now's the time. Otherwise, if they're caught, don't blame me for reporting them to the police!"
Her sisters all spoke up:
"Oh Jiaojiao, you are too kind. You are still giving the scammer a chance to admit his mistake, but he may not appreciate your kindness."
"Why are you telling her so much? Let's go!"
The old lady looked at Xiang Yunqingqing hesitantly, her tone slightly gentle:
"Girl, Aning said that it was thanks to you that he was saved last time when he was injured. I think you are not a bad person. Let's just forget about what happened today."
"If you leave now, I won't let anyone embarrass you."
Yun Qingqing was a little surprised when she saw the old lady who had suddenly become much kinder.
Then he thought again, it was normal that Yan Ning must have told the old lady about his assassination and rescue by himself on the way.
However, when Shen Jiaojiao heard that the old lady intended to let Yun Qingqing go, she immediately became unhappy.
But she couldn't directly refute the old lady's words, so she rolled her eyes and muttered softly:
"Wasn't Brother Yan unconscious for a long time when he was seriously injured? Who knows if there's any misunderstanding behind this so-called life-saving grace..."
"I've heard a long time ago that someone would take advantage of someone being in distress and unconscious, transfer the person who saved them away, and then take their place, pretending to be the savior."
"If someone dares to impersonate the head of Tianming Pavilion, then pretending to be a savior shouldn't be a problem for him."
When she said this, the old lady was stunned for a moment, and her brows furrowed again:
"Jiaojiao, that's not what you said. There were quite a few people around when Aning was rescued. Everyone saw who saved him. There's no way they could have made a mistake."
Shen Jiaojiao didn't expect that during the ride in the carriage, the old lady's attitude towards Yun Qingqing changed so much that she was choked and speechless.
Her hostility towards Yun Qingqing became even stronger.
It’s all because of this woman how dare she get so close to Brother Yan!
She even deceived her aunt!
Be patient a little longer. Once you meet the head of Tianming Pavilion, this woman’s true face as a liar will be exposed no longer!
Yan Ning had secretly put the talisman back on his heart, and the tingling sensation that came from time to time disappeared immediately.
But he could clearly feel that his sudden affection for Shen Jiaojiao still existed.
His reason and emotions were torn in two, making him extremely irritable.
He suppressed his anger and said:
"Let's not talk about this for now. Once we meet Master Qingyun, everything will become clear."
The old lady saw something and agreed:
"Aning is right. Let's go to Tianming Pavilion and find that master as soon as possible."
Shen Jiaojiao only felt that Yan Ning and the old lady were speaking for her, and her mood suddenly improved. She smiled and said:
"Everyone, please follow me."
She walked into an alley first, and everyone followed.
If Chen Jiaojiao hadn't led the way today, Yun Qingqing wouldn't have known that in a bustling street like East Street, there were such winding alleys, some of which were only wide enough for one person to pass through.
When Yun Qingqing saw the "Tianming Pavilion" sign hanging outside the gate of a small courtyard, she was almost amazed at the girl's ability to remember the way.
Shen Jiaojiao ran to the gate first, grabbed a rope beside the door and pulled it twice, then heard the sound of a copper bell from inside the house.
After a while, the door of the yard opened and a man in a gray robe and a hood walked out.
The hood was pulled down so low that his face could not be seen clearly, but a half-grown gray beard could be seen on his chin. He was obviously a man of considerable age.
He opened the gate without saying a word, and seemed stunned when he saw a dozen people standing outside.
But he still didn't say a word. He silently made a gesture to invite people inside and led the way into the yard.
Because the person who opened the door was so silent, everyone else fell silent unconsciously, following the man carefully, even subconsciously slowing down their steps.
Yun Qingqing did not have the awe-inspiring attitude of the others. She walked in at the end and began to look around.
The room was not big, and a stove of expensive dragon-birth incense was burning. However, the stale smell concealed by the fragrance did not escape Yun Qingqing's sense of smell.
The only window was tightly curtained, and after the door was closed, only a candle emitted a dim light, illuminating a figure behind the table who was also wearing a white robe and hood, and whose face could not be seen clearly.
Yun Qingqing curled her lips slightly. This deliberately created mysterious and weird atmosphere could easily make people who wanted something become dependent on the owner of the room, and then, under the other person's sweet words, they would have the illusion that the other person was omniscient and omnipotent.
So ignore those small details that are obviously unreliable.
For example, how could a place called "Pavilion" be such a shabby little house?
She turned her head to look at Yan Ning, only to see that his eyes were fixed on Shen Jiaojiao. He looked expressionless, but in fact the look in his eyes was constantly changing.
Yun Qingqing understood in her heart that the methods of the owner of "Tianming Pavilion" were obviously not just some fancy tricks.
"Master Qingyun." Shen Jiaojiao stood in front of the table and bowed uprightly to the person behind the candle.
After a moment, a weathered female voice came from under the man's hood, and slowly said:
"What do you want, you who come here?"
Shen Jiaojiao was already familiar with this process, and said with a smile:
"I came here today to help you, Master."
The face under the hood moved slightly, and the man raised his head slightly, and there seemed to be sharp eyes shooting directly at Shen Jiaojiao from under the shadow.
"What do you mean?" she asked slowly.
Shen Jiaojiao pointed at Yun Qingqing and said:
"Today I met this woman. She claimed that she was the head of Tianming Pavilion and the real Master Qingyun, so I brought her here and handed her over to you for disposal."
Yun Qingqing sneered. It was clearly she who initiated the confrontation, but in her words it became that she was helping the "Pavilion Master" to bring the person over.
It’s a pity that the “Pavilion Master” whom she tried so hard to please was actually a fake.
Yun Qingqing, facing the gaze of the white-robed man under his hood, took a step forward and sneered:
"So they are from the Miaojiang Gu tribe. No wonder they can act like ghosts here."
The hood trembled slightly, and the man was silent for a moment, then spoke again in that leisurely and experienced tone:
"Girl, with your level, even if you use this method to attract my attention, you will never be able to join the Tianming Pavilion. It's better to forget it."
Yun Qingqing was speechless for a while.
Why is this fake still soaked in oil? I'm fed up with it. Thank you.
Shen Jiaojiao was excited and said proudly:
"I knew it! The Pavilion Master has exposed you right to your face. What else do you have to say now?"
Yun Qingqing burst out laughing:
"She's a Miaojiang Gu tribe member who pretended to be me for profit. What qualifications does she have to expose me?"
"Forget about this so-called Pavilion Master. Even the so-called 'Destiny Pavilion' that can be blown down by a gust of wind is fake!"
Shen Jiaojiao wanted to argue, but the "Pavilion Master" suddenly snorted coldly:
"Little girl, are you looking down on the Miaojiang Gu Clan? Who stipulated that the Tianming Pavilion cannot be established by the Miaojiang Gu Clan?"
"Today I will teach you a lesson for looking down on the Gu Clan!"
After she finished speaking, her wide sleeves seemed to shake slightly, but a silver light shot out from the cuffs and went straight towards Yun Qingqing like lightning!
Yun Qingqing calmly raised her hand and grabbed the lightning. It turned out to be a small snake that was as thick as a finger, about two feet long, and silver and black!
The fake Pavilion Master took a deep breath. Her silver ring poisonous snake had two killer weapons. One was that the poison was extremely strong, and the other was that it was extremely fast. Even experienced practitioners would often suffer great losses if caught off guard.
However, he didn't even see clearly how the little girl raised her hand!
It seems that we can't underestimate the enemy.
The fake Pavilion Master was secretly calculating when he saw Yun Qingqing pinching the snake's vital point and smiling slightly at its angry tongue.
"You want to help your master bite me so badly? Fine, I'll satisfy you."
As she spoke, she loosened her grip slightly, and the little snake slithered out and bit her wrist hard.
Everyone gasped, and Yan Ning was so frightened that his soul flew away. He rushed over and tried to tear the silver ring poisonous snake apart.
"Don't come over!" Yun Qingqing pinched the little snake's seven inches again, took it away, and stopped him with her eyes.
Yan Ning then stopped his movements, turned to the fake Pavilion Master with a gloomy expression, and said in a cold voice:
"Hand over the antidote!"
A low, sinister laugh sounded from under the hood:
"Hehehe... This is the retribution she deserves for disrespecting the Gu Clan! If the little girl is willing to kowtow and admit her mistake to me, I might consider letting her go... Um, puff——"
Before the fake Pavilion Master could finish his words, his body suddenly stiffened and he violently spat out black blood!
"How, how could this happen... How could I be bitten by the snake's poison?!"
The fake Pavilion Master hurriedly took out a pill and swallowed it. In his hasty movement, his hood fell down, revealing a female face with dark circles under her eyes and a sinister gaze.
The little snake in Yun Qingqing's hand had drooped stiffly and limply. She smiled and showed the fake Pavilion Master the two small bloody holes on her wrist.
There was only a little bright red blood on the wound, which was almost coagulated. It was not like being bitten by a poisonous snake. The wound started to turn black and expanded rapidly until the person could not move.
Yun Qingqing smiled and said:
"You don't know, the real Tianming Pavilion Master is immune to external evil. No matter whether it's poison or Gu, it will only backfire on the person who attacked him."
"I don't have any prejudice against the Miaojiang Gu tribe, but I will punish people like you who cheat and harm others with Gu magic. I will not show any mercy!"
The fake Pavilion Master listened to her words in fear, and a cruel look gradually appeared in his eyes.
She suddenly raised her hand and bit her thumb, smeared the blood on her brow, and said with a ferocious look:
"Yenu! Kill her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in white robe who had been standing motionless in the shadows suddenly moved!
