According to Xu Ziqiao and Chu Qiurong, the three of them came to Tianmu Ridge because of the recent frequent appearance of bandits and robbers. Since there were also several Yuqing shops in Tianmu Ridge, Feng Qi sent them here to investigate the situation.
As the outer sect leader of Yuqing, Xiao Yunxiang naturally went to look after the larger shops, and the remaining scattered shops were handed over to his two junior brothers.
According to Xiao Yunxiang's idea, his two junior brothers would at most find a place to slack off, but they didn't expect that they both took a fancy to the talismans in that shop, and the disciple with the snow happened to buy it before them, so a dispute arose.
Needless to say, Tu Nian came to the rescue, and the two sides started fighting, which eventually led to the current situation. It sounds like everything happened naturally, but Tu Nian, a former disciple of Yuqing, doesn't think so.
"Would Feng Qi send Xiao Yunxiang, an outer sect leader, to handle such a small matter?" Tu Nian passed the message to his two senior brothers and glanced suspiciously at the three people huddled at the foot of the bed.
Xu Ziqiao frowned, "Are you saying they are lying?"
After thinking for a moment, Tu Nian asked, "What was Xiao Yunxiang's reaction when these two confessed just now?"
Chu Qiurong recalled, "I was quite anxious and even called those two spineless. If San'er hadn't stopped me, I might have started a fight with them."
Tu Nian lowered her head and remained silent. Could it be that she was being overly suspicious?
Impatiently slamming the table, Xu Ziqiao said, "At worst, I can just ask them again. I don't believe I can't get them to talk."
"No need. If they are really trying to play tricks on me, using force will only backfire."
After stopping Xu Ziqiao's impulsive action, Tu Nian turned around and asked Chu Qiurong, "Do you still have the Zhenzhi Pill that Liu Yuzhu gave you?"
Chu Qiurong looked embarrassed. "Yes, I do. But the one I have has already been used by Xiao. If you want another one, you have to go find Master."
He clenched his fists in frustration. "I was too confident. I didn't expect him to be so stubborn. He nearly suffocated several times but didn't say a word. If I had known this would happen, I should have used the medicine on the other two."
Tu Nian smiled upon hearing this and said, "That's fine. As long as the medicine is still effective, I'll find a way to make him open his mouth."
Chu Qiurong's face lit up with joy, and she nodded repeatedly, "The medicine has only been used for half an hour, so it must still be effective."
"Leave it to me."
Patting his right hand with his left hand, Tu Nian helped Chu Qiurong to stand up, and walked towards Yuqing and the three unlucky guys with his aching waist.
It can be seen that Xu Ziqiao was ruthless. These three people huddled together, and even if their faces were put together, they couldn't make a single red patch. If you splashed some ink on them, they could be seen as a painting.
Tu Nian walked up to the three of them with great interest, sat down on the spot, propped up his cheeks and looked straight at Xiao Yunxiang on the far right, controlling his spiritual power to tease him twice.
"Still sleeping? Don't worry. We finally had a fight, wake up and let's just rehearse."
It didn't sound like she was interrogating someone at all. Chu Qiurong and Xu Ziqiao, standing behind her, looked at each other, said nothing, and then looked away.
Xiao Yunxiang didn't move after hearing this. It was hard to tell whether he was pretending or really dizzy.
Tu Nian didn't waste any time talking to him about inspirational stories. He raised his eyebrows, took out a fire talisman from the mustard seed, and simply set his clothes on fire.
The material of Xiao Yunxiang's coat was Tiancan silk, which caught fire immediately. In a moment, the flame spread from his cuffs to his forearms. In the next moment, the "fainted" Xiao Yunxiang suddenly woke up, cursing all kinds of ugly words while twisting his body, and used the bed to put out the fire.
But what is more interesting is that the two Yuqing disciples who were just woken up by Xiao Yunxiang's kick, this time they made up their minds to pretend to be dead. Their eyelids were twitching so much that the veins were about to burst, but they persisted until the fire was extinguished without opening their eyes.
Taking in the three people's funny reactions, Tu Nian greeted Xiao Yunxiang with a smile, "Stop torturing your two junior brothers. Answer my questions and I'll let you go."
"Ungrateful bitch."
Xiao Yunxiang looked at Tu Nian with disdain and vicious eyes, "Do you think that if your two useless brothers couldn't get any answers out of me, you can do anything? Forget it! Even if I die here today, you can't get any answers out of me."
"You're so fierce." Tu Nian said angrily, his eyes showing deep interest. "Look at how calm your face is, it seems you really mean it."
Xiao Yunxiang disdained such nonsense. He snorted coldly and simply turned his head away and continued to pretend to be dead.
Tu Nian smiled nonchalantly and said, "But you know, to judge the truth of something, it's not entirely necessary for the person involved to say it out loud."
To Xiao Yunxiang, these words were nothing but alarmist talk, and he did not take them seriously. So he remained indifferent, closed his eyes, and pretended to be dead.
Even Chu Qiurong and Xu Ziqiao were a little confused and asked her in a voice transmission: "What kind of trick are you planning?"
Tu Nian replied to them calmly, "Just wait and see."
After she finished speaking, she raised her right hand and pinched her fingers in front of her chest, and began to mutter in a strange and difficult to understand tone.
No one present knew what she was muttering, except Xiao Yunxiang.
Hearing this familiar tone, Xiao Yunxiang felt a sudden panic in his heart.
He studied under Feng Qi and knew the ins and outs of most spiritual weapons, just like the golden rope on his body. As a top-notch treasure once known as one of the four great treasures of Yuqing, in addition to being able to be controlled by spiritual power, there are also other corresponding formulas for more precise control.
What Tu Nian was chanting at this time was the mantra to control the golden rope.
Glancing at the faint panic on Xiao Yunxiang's face, Tu Nian stopped chanting with satisfaction.
Finally, the golden rope was controlled to loosen other parts of the body and focus on tying the arms. Immediately, Tu Nian put his hand on Xiao Yunxiang's wrist.
The two looked at each other, and the latter immediately understood her intention, and her heart suddenly felt empty, which caused Tu Nian to chuckle.
"See, no matter how much a person wants to hide something, his heartbeat is always the most honest."
Gently caressing the other person's pounding pulse, she put on a harmless expression and said gently, "Of course I don't need any answers, because your pulse is the answer."
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him, Xiao Yunxiang's face turned pale - he had never thought that the useless junior sister who was despised by the master but always worked hard would one day become so shrewd, clever, and ruthless.
Combining the other party's pulse and the True Knowledge Pill, in just a cup of tea, Tu Nian understood all the reasons why Yuqing sent people to Tianmu Ridge this time.
After the questioning, Tu Nian looked at her two senior brothers with a serious expression after several consecutive heavy blows that completely knocked Yuqing's three men unconscious.
"I didn't expect Yuqing to have such a plan. I must inform Master as soon as possible."
