He guessed that this Silly Beast probably couldn't understand, but seeing the stupidity and Confused look in its eyes, Qi Xiaomian couldn't help but sigh in annoyance.
Perhaps influenced by the body's Magic Breath, Qi Xiaomian found himself genuinely liking this Silly Beast. He reluctantly compromised, saying, "Alright, I'll first try to get some information from it. If it really is just using you, then the resurrection is a lie, and perhaps your master's death is also related to it."
Once you learn the truth, you can no longer protect it!
Upon hearing this, a new expression of shock appeared on the Silly Beast's face. Master, dead, it thought!!!
"Don't get excited; it's just a guess. We need to ask to find out."
Ask! Ask! Ask!
After calming the Silly Beast a few more times, it finally settled down, pitifully following him and appearing even more foolish.
As the intimate exchange between them came to a temporary halt, Sang Qingxiao finally spoke up. "So you’ve been hiding such a big secret? All along, I felt something was off about your behavior. You've kept this under wraps for so long; it must have been quite uncomfortable for you."
Seeing Sang Qingxiao getting a bit worked up, Qi Xiaomian quickly laid everything out. "Qi Hao Ren is very shrewd and cautious in his actions. After I gained some influence, I started investigating him. Not only did I not uncover anything significant, but I also lost quite a few people in the process."
It wasn't until we returned to court that things took a turn. I used the Empress Dowager's rejuvenation as a breakthrough and discovered connections to Huzhou Zhu Gonggong. Frustrated with my subordinates' slow progress, I found an excuse after dealing with border issues and planned to detour to Huzhou.
Yezhou City was merely on the way when an incident occurred there. The emperor learned of my movements and I had no choice but to make a brief stop.
Sang Qingxiao interjected without anger. "And then you just happened to run into us? You tricked us into going to Huzhou, while we were chasing after the Men's Wedding Dress Case, getting closer to the New State."
Qi Xiaomian quickly smiled and explained, "How did this end up being blamed on me? You wanted to go to Huzhou yourself because you were interested in the river delicacies there."
In fact, even if you hadn’t gone, I still intended to bring some back for you.
But since you said you wanted to go, I wouldn’t stop you; I just took advantage of your group to conceal my identity.
Hehe.
Continuing on, regarding the Men's Wedding Dress Case, it was also coincidental. Who would have thought that Yue Hao would so conveniently use the Wedding Dress Case for murder? And then everything just fell into place? It all seemed so natural?
Ultimately, it was all about coincidence—so much so that I began to doubt myself if I had played any tricks in this matter. But by heaven's conscience, I truly did nothing!
Indeed, I did nothing; I didn't employ any tricks, but neither did I stop anything.
What do you mean everything fell into place naturally? Nonsense!
This guy is just like her; he clearly just went with the flow!
They still inexplicably got us involved in this mess. Sang Qingxiao was also at a loss; she had reviewed Yue Hao's memories and confirmed that what Yue Hao did had nothing to do with Qi Xiaomian. In the end, it all came down to trouble caused by greed and idleness.
"Why don't you just leave? I can handle this on my own."
"Leave? To abandon you at a time like this would be too ungrateful!"
Moreover, exorcising demons was the primary duty of a Demon Catcher. Knowing there were demons around, one couldn't just stand by; when necessary, they had to step in and help.
Sang Qingxiao felt a tightness in her chest and shot him an annoyed glare. "What are you dawdling for? Lead the way! Let's get this over with! If we delay any longer, we won't even have time to prepare for winter."
Qi Xiaomian hurriedly smiled and said softly, "Miss Sang, watch your step. We're nearing the end of this matter; it will surely allow you to return to the capital sooner."
Sang Qingxiao huffed, "I don't want to see you on my way back."
And besides, who knows, they might encounter some coincidences along the way.
