Yu Qingyi glanced at the giant clam shell again before leaping out of the general's mansion.
Hmph, he'll search the entire capital and find this little woman today, and teach her a lesson she won't forget.
Wait.
Yu Qingyi returned and looked at the maid, "If you tell anyone about my visit, besides your young mistress..."
Yu Qingyi swiped his neck, his gesture a clear warning.
We can't cause Xie Lingqin unnecessary trouble.
He's not such a tasteless person.
The giant clam nodded, as if stunned.
Only then did Yu Qingyi feel relieved enough to leave Qingfeng Pavilion.
Yu Qingyi, however, did not see that after he turned around, the giant clam was trembling and looking at the horizon with inexplicable emotions.
...
At this moment, Xie Lingqin really wished someone could find her.
Because she didn't know where she was.
Zihe, who was beside her, was also injured, but the bleeding had been stopped.
She originally left with Zihe, but they encountered a group of bandits on the way.
Forget about the bandits; she had long suspected that it was Second Aunt and Xie Lingyu who were behind it all. It was a series of interconnected schemes that didn't seem like her usual behavior.
However, with Zihe around and Zihe being quite capable herself, dealing with just a few bandits was a piece of cake.
Yes, Xie Lingqin did not expect that after dealing with the bandits, another group of assassins would arrive.
These assassins were all ruthless and cunning, each move laced with deadly intent; they were clearly no ordinary people.
Now, Zihe is injured, and they are locked in an empty room.
“Miss, these people are quite skilled; they don’t seem like ordinary thugs.” Zihe took a breath before speaking.
Xie Lingqin looked around after she saw that the bleeding from her injured arm had stopped.
"They are well-trained, and their methods are simple and brutal, even more formidable than the people from the Underworld we just encountered."
After Xie Lingqin finished speaking, she looked at Zihe and asked, "Do you think the people from the Underworld are really that weak?"
Zihe, also filled with doubt, shook her head. "Miss, although I have never dealt with the Yama Palace, I did hear Guard Feng mention it back in the Crown Prince's residence. He said the people from the Yama Palace are not easy to deal with. I didn't realize it until you mentioned it, but those people the Second Miss found are really..."
"No comparison, no harm, right?" Xie Lingqin's lips suddenly curled into a cold smile. "Or, as the saying goes, a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise."
"What do you mean, Miss?"
"If I'm not mistaken, those so-called people from the Yama Palace that Xie Lingyu found before have long betrayed the Yama Palace. They were just people hired in private to fill in the numbers and take on business. The people who are trapping us here now are the real people from the Yama Palace."
After Xie Lingqin finished speaking, Zihe was slightly startled, "If it was the people from the Underworld who captured us, then who could it be?"
"Tell me, who hates me the most lately?"
Zihe suddenly realized something, "Could it be..."
Xie Lingqin nodded. "If they can't find the problem with the General's Mansion, they can't implicate me. Although Elder Dong treated me and cleared me of the blame, parents naturally believe in their son. How could the Vice Minister and his wife not seek revenge? Before, when I was in the mansion, they had no chance. Now that I'm out, they naturally have their opportunity. Perhaps this is Xie Lingyu's real killing move in summoning me out today. However, perhaps she herself doesn't fully understand the underworld, or perhaps the Vice Minister's wife and she haven't fully communicated." Xie Lingqin's words were extremely cold.
It was as if he wasn't imprisoned, but rather atop a high mountain, looking down on everything.
It inexplicably exuded a powerful aura.
"So, I want them alive." Xie Lingqin suddenly let out another cold laugh.
Just then, there was a noise outside the door.
Then, a man dressed in black walked in.
He glanced at Xie Lingqin and then at Zihe beside him. Although she was wearing a veil, the impatience on her face was still faintly visible. "We only take money to kill the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion. Otherwise, you can leave."
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin's face showed surprise, while Zihe, standing beside her, was startled and immediately stepped forward, "I won't..."
"Thank you for not implicating the innocent." Xie Lingqin interrupted Zihe in time, nodding to her, "You can go now."
Upon hearing this, Zihe immediately rushed forward, "Miss, this servant..."
"Could it be that you can lead me away from here?" Xie Lingqin said this to Zihe, with a hint of sarcasm.
Zihe's eyes flickered, and she fell silent for a moment. After a long while, she lowered her head and said, "This servant thanks you, Miss." Zihe retreated sadly step by step towards the outside of the house. She had only taken two steps when she suddenly moved like lightning, her fingers snapping open, and struck the black-clad man directly in the chest.
The speed was too fast and the distance too close. By the time the man in black reacted, Zihe had already successfully attacked.
He had fallen to his knees in pain.
Just as she was momentarily numb with pain, she saw Xie Lingqin straighten up and lift her leg, her hand already gripping her throat. "Speak, who is your palace master?"
The man in black didn't seem like a nobody. He raised his head and said, "Hmph, do you think I'd say that?"
"You will." Xie Lingqin smiled coldly, then directly dislocated the man's jaw, then his arms, then his legs.
Even Zihe, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but be alarmed.
The young lady seems to like this.
"Let's go." Then, Xie Lingqin lifted the man up as if pulling a plumb line, and dragged him out of the room.
Outside, the setting sun blazed like fire, and the distant mountains were like dark eyebrows, yet a menacing aura emanated from them.
As soon as he stepped outside, dozens of men in black surrounded him.
Xie Lingqin remained calm and instead slowly sat down on the steps with the man in black in her arms.
