Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xia Qiluo came barefooted in red. Her eyes were cold and calm. She did not even look at Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. Instead, she walked straight to the center of the hall and raised her hand to slap the frightened woman on her head.
The woman’s unfocused eyes gradually became clear. Then, she sobbed softly. There were tears in her eyes as she looked at Xia Bingguang. “Your Majesty, you must catch the murderer. I was almost scared to death by him.”
Xia Bingguang said, “Yu Bin, tell me in detail what happened.”
Yu Bin cried even more miserably when she heard this. As she wiped her tears, she said, “In the latter half of the night, I was suddenly woken up because someone was pulling my blanket. I was almost scared out of my wits, but for some reason, I couldn’t make a sound. Then, I saw that person coming out bit by bit. First, his head… then, his limbs and body…”
Yu Bin saw the man coming out slowly with her own eyes and was so frightened that her mind went blank. She did not know what method the man used to make himself invisible.
Yu Bin looked around and saw Liu Sanniang.
She said gratefully, “It’s all thanks to Miss Liu’s talisman. 1 happened to have one. That person wanted to molest me, and 1 couldn’t shout, so I pressed the talisman on that person’s face…”
Yu Bin shivered and continued in a choked voice. “With that, the person’s mask was instantly burned. That person’s entire body was on fire. He said that he would definitely come back to kill me… I was terrified.”
Being targeted by a demon was enough to scare Yu Bin to death. Even if she saw him being engulfed in flames with her own eyes, she knew that he would not die. He would come back to kill her.
Xu Bo and Xu Yue were present there to calm her soul.
Yu Bin gradually became stable, but she was still shrouded in fear. She also wanted to throw herself into the emperor’s arms and cry, but she did not dare.
Xia Qiluo asked calmly. “You said you burned him?”
𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝑙𝘶𝑠𝑏.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Yu Bin nodded. “He was on fire, but 1 don’t know if he’s injured or not.”
The empress said, “He must be injured. As long as we search the entire city, we will definitely be able to find someone with burn marks.”
Xia Qiluo nodded. “That’s right. From what Yu Bin said, he’s a human. If he’s a human, we don’t have to be so afraid of him. Father, please give the order to search the entire city to find that person.”
Xia Qiluo looked at Liu Sanniang. She could feel that Liu Sanniang was injured. She smiled coldly. “Miss Liu, why don’t you explain what happened? This evil person escaped from you, right?”
At this moment, though no one spoke, they ail looked at Liu Sanniang with blame in their eyes. If Liu Sanniang had done a better job, that evil person would not have escaped.
If the evil person was caught, they did not have to be on tenterhooks anymore.
This evil person was clearly interested in females. Otherwise, he would not just target women.
Liu Sanniang answered calmly. “Before my formation was set up, he was alerted and managed to escape.”
Xia Qiluo raised her hand and sent a gust of wind towards Liu Sanniang. She looked at Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu, who appeared beside Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, you are in cohort with demons. Who knows if you intentionally let the evil man escape or not.”
The sudden appearance of Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu made people feel terrified.
The palace maids exclaimed softly. The four consorts covered their mouths with their hands to suppress the urge to scream.
The empress grabbed Xia Bingguang’s clothes. “Why is Miss Liu with the demons?”
Hu Yu was furious. The fox was impulsive and easily angered.
She immediately revealed her claws and said angrily, “Don’t accuse us. If Lord Lin didn’t swap his daughter with a maidservant, Venerable Liu would have caught that rat long ago. That rat likes beautiful women. Even if the maidservant covered her face, he would still be able to tell that she was not Miss Lin and kill her in a fit of anger. However, Miss Lin asked the maidservant to replace her, but she didn’t give the talisman that Venerable Liu gave her to the maidservant. That’s why a life was lost.”
“How difficult is it to catch that evil man? With Miss Liu’s ability, I believe she didn’t need bait to lure him out.” Xia Qiluo said coldly.
Hu Yu retorted angrily. “If you think it’s not difficult to catch, go ahead and do it yourself.”
Xia Qiluo sneered. She looked at Xia Bingguang and said, “Father, please give the order for me to catch this murderer.”
The empress said, “Your Majesty, Qiluo is a spiritual girl. Leave this matter to her.”
Xian Fei looked at Liu Sanniang and said to her, “It’s all thanks to Miss Liu’s talisman that Sister Yu Bin was able to keep her innocence and seriously injure the evil person today. Miss Liu, you are trustworthy. Lord Lin was to blame for the unfortunate death of that maidservant. I see that your face is pale. Are you injured?”
Hu Yu snorted. “That evil person is not that simple. Venerable wanted to set up an array formation to trap him, but it was interrupted halfway. You cultivators should know the seriousness of it the best.”
Xu Bo looked at Liu Sanniang and said coldly, “Miss Liu is naturally doing this to get rid of evil. This is the responsibility of every cultivator. But she didn’t plan it out well enough. Letting the evil person get away will cause endless trouble in the future.”
Xian Fei frowned. “State Minister, you can’t say that. The hardest thing to predict in this world is the human heart. How could Miss Liu know that the Lin family would mess up her plan?”
Xian Fei was speaking up for Liu Sanniang.
Xia Qiluo said, “Miss Liu, since you are seriously injured, why don’t you recuperate well? There’s no need for you to interfere in everything.”
Xia Bingguang said in a low voice, “Then Qiluo, I will leave this matter to you. Catch the murderer as soon as possible!”
Xia Qiluo nodded. “Father, don’t worry. I’ll definitely catch the murderer in three days.”
Xia Bingguang stood up and left, followed by the empress.
Yu Bin was helped out by the palace servants. Soon, only Xian Fei and another consort were left in the hall.
Xian Fei looked at Liu Sanniang and asked worriedly. “Is Miss Liu alright?”
Liu Sanniang nodded gently. “I’m fine.”
Xian Fei looked at Liu Sanniang and said in embarrassment, “Miss Liu, can you draw a few more talismans? I’ll pay you. You’re injured, so 1 shouldn’t make this request. However, there are many girls in my family…”
There were a few young women in Xian Fei’s family. It was better to be safe than sorry..
