Chapter 57 He Has Allies
Nan Xiao narrowed her eyes, drew her bow and shot an arrow. The sharp arrow passed by Qiao Yue's ear, and the man in black who wanted to sneak attack Qiao Yue was pierced through the heart by her arrow.
"Junior sister, your aim is pretty good."
Qiao Yue took the time to praise her.
She thought that Junior Sister was just like Junior Sister Jian, who knew nothing except making pills.
I didn’t expect that the junior sister’s archery skills were also good. If she had been a little worse in the situation just now, she would have lost her ears.
"Senior Sister, you just deal with those who attack head-on, and leave the ones that slip through the net to me."
"Okay."
Although both of them are fragile, they are both high-damage, long-range output players. As long as these men in black are not allowed to get close to them, they are invincible and their damage is extremely high.
Although it was the first time the two worked together, they had a very good understanding of each other. Under the joint attack of the two, the men in black quickly disappeared without a single one left.
"Junior Sister, there should be a formation here. We have been circling around it. Be careful. I will break it first."
She had felt it from a while ago, but she couldn't free her hands.
As long as we can break the formation before the next wave of danger comes, it will be fine.
After giving the instructions, Qiao Yue began to study the formation.
The trapping array, the illusion array, and the killing array are actually composed of three types of arrays.
The killing array is for attack, while the illusion array is for confusing the mind. The combination of the two can confuse people's minds, make them deeply trapped in it, and make them defenseless.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time.
How much must the person behind this hate her to do such a big thing.
"Okay..." Nan Xiao held the bow and stood guard.
She was not sure if there was anyone outside the formation, and she did not dare to expose Xiaoya's ability when she was not strong enough.
Unless it was really a life-and-death situation, she would definitely not hesitate and would just drag her second senior sister away.
Since Second Senior Sister said this, it meant that she could break the formation. She only needed to protect Second Senior Sister from being disturbed while she was breaking the formation.
Qiao Yue: "Junior Sister, do you still have any Qingxin Pills?"
"Yes," Nan Xiao replied
"have eaten."
Nan Xiao didn't hesitate. As soon as he swallowed the pill, the surrounding environment began to distort.
She took a closer look.
It turned out to be the yard where alchemy was practiced during the day.
But didn't they leave?
"Senior sister, what's going on?" Nan Xiao asked
"It's just a little trick," Qiao Yue's eyes flashed, and a ball of spiritual power condensed in his hand and hit the bottom of the well in the yard.
"Break it for me..."
After Qiao Yue's attack, Nan Xiao felt as if something around him was broken.
The spiritual power hit the bottom of the well, causing quite a noise.
After a while, a noisy sound of footsteps was heard.
It was a group of palace soldiers.
"Miss, what happened?"
In this courtyard, the flowers and plants were broken, the ground was covered with fallen leaves, and it was a mess. The air was still filled with residual fluctuations of spiritual energy. It was obvious that someone had fought here.
"Check for me who has been to this yard today." Qiao Yue glanced at the visitor and ordered.
"yes."
"I want to know the result tomorrow morning."
"yes"
“…………”
After Qiao Yue finished taking care of the matters in the yard, she took Nan Xiao back to the City Lord's Mansion.
The journey was smooth.
Su Xun was wandering at the door. When he saw the two of them, he immediately went to greet them.
"Where have you two been? Why are you back so late?"
This distance would only take an incense stick of time to go back and forth, but it took them an hour.
He was anxious and didn't dare to leave, for fear of missing it.
Nan Xiao: "Fourth Brother, this is not the place to talk, let's go inside and talk."
Su Xun saw that their expressions were not right, and nodded.
Several people came to Qiao Yue's residence, closed the door, and put up an isolation talisman.
"Second Senior Sister, what happened?"
Su Xun asked impatiently.
Nan Xiao also had a lot of questions.
Qiao Yue sighed and slowly explained, "As soon as my junior sister and I left the house, we entered a formation set up by someone else. Fortunately, this formation was crude, so it was easy to break."
If it was something carefully arranged by someone else, she might not be able to break it in a short time.
Nan Xiao suddenly realized, and she said that she had taken the Qingxin Pill, so how come she was in the yard when she opened her eyes? It turned out that she had never walked out.
Qiao Yue continued, "They say family disgrace should not be made public, and today's incident has caused my junior sister to suffer. I didn't expect him to be so capable as to set up a formation near the City Lord's Mansion to harm people."
"Senior Sister, do you mean that you have often encountered assassinations like today in the past two years?" Nan Xiao widened her eyes, and her bright eyes were filled with heartache.
Su Xun: "Second Senior Sister, why didn't you tell me last time? Otherwise, Third Senior Brother and I would have stayed to protect you no matter what."
Qiao Yue smiled sweetly: "I knew you would say that."
"As a senior sister, how could I let you take risks?"
"Senior Sister, who is this 'he' you are talking about?" Nan Xiao asked
Qiao Yue was silent for a while, then said, "It's my second uncle, Qiao Tianchu."
"Two years ago, I received news from home that my father had been injured by a demon beast and was in critical condition. When I rushed home, my father was indeed only breathing his last. It was thanks to the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill given by the Huanhai Sect that he was saved."
"He survived his injuries, but his body hasn't recovered yet, so he's unable to handle Tianhe City's affairs. During this time, I've been handling all of Tianhe City's affairs behind the scenes."
"It was also at this time that assassinations against me began to appear."
"This person knows me very well and is very cunning. He cleaned up his mess very well. No matter how hard I checked afterwards, I couldn't find any information."
"I learned that Elder Li and his two fellow apprentices were training nearby, so I sent a message to Elder Li, hoping he could lend me a hand."
"Elder Li and I spent several months planning and finally caught him."
"I just didn't expect that the person who wanted to kill me was actually my own uncle."
Qiao Yue smiled bitterly.
To this day, she still can't figure out what her second uncle's purpose is in doing this.
"Second Senior Sister, if you say so, it was your Second Uncle who wanted to assassinate you. But wasn't he captured by you and Elder Li?" Nan Xiao asked, pointing out the problem: "Could it be that he escaped?"
Could the abnormality of these people in Tianhe City also be related to him?
Qiao Yue saw what Nan Xiao was thinking and explained, "I thought so before, but after the incident, I went to see where he was being held, and he was still there."
"Senior sister is wrong..." Su Xun said
"How could he set up this scheme when he was imprisoned?"
"unless……"
The three of them looked at each other and said in unison, "He has allies."
Qiao Yue frowned and thought. She had checked the people in the City Lord's Mansion several times, so it was impossible that anyone was missed.
She was going to the other courtyard to pick up her junior sister today. This was a sudden idea. She didn't tell anyone, so how did the person in secret know about it?
Nan Xiao was also thinking. She went over everything that happened tonight.
Finally, the gaze fixed.
She exclaimed, "I know..."
