Sang Qingxiao paid no mind to his desperate struggles. With one hand, he seized his wrist and pulled him in, vacating the seat and pressing him down onto the chair by the desk. He was now much closer to the fire pit, and with a talisman binding him, he sat motionless, the stifling heat clouding his mind further.
This way of dying was far easier than what the Sang Family had faced back in the day. Zhao Daren need not thank me; when walking the Underworld Road, take your time. It won't be long before those from the Sang Family appear on that road, and you will have company.
After speaking, Sang Qingxiao gathered the remaining books and passed through the wall, leaving behind a sealed room and an old man on the brink of death.
As he left Zhao Manor, Sang Qingxiao sensed someone nearby.
Who is it? Show yourself.
From the dark corner of the wall emerged a familiar figure.
In the dead of night, is Yongxin Marquis sleepwalking?
The road is uneven at night; I came to light a lamp for Miss Sang.
Sang Qingxiao noticed he was indeed holding a lamp.
Qi Xiaomian took out a lighter and lit the candle inside the lamp. The lampshade was made of transparent glass, and with special craftsmanship, it magnified the flickering candlelight, casting a glowing halo around them both.
Yongxin Marquis must have followed me all this way?
With Miss Sang's abilities, if I were following you, you would surely notice.
So then, why has Yongxin Marquis appeared here?
Perhaps we share the same purpose regarding Miss Sang.
Oh? Yongxin Marquis has come to kill as well?
Qi Xiaomian chuckled lightly.
Sang Qingxiao rolled his eyes. What’s so funny about that?
Feeling somewhat gratified, it seemed Miss Sang trusted me more than ever, even confiding in me about such secrets as murder.
Since I’ve been so open, Yongxin Marquis shouldn’t brush me off either. Speak up; why are you here?
Qi Xiaomian’s expression turned serious. Today, there’s been much discussion about Divine Worship. My informants told me there’s something amiss with the Zhao Family. My people discovered that whenever Shanxia Village is mentioned in Jingjing City, some official families show unusual activity. So I intended to investigate further.
Upon arriving here, I spotted Li Cu. She loves to roam around aimlessly but always returns home at night. Yet here she was, excitedly perched on top of Zhao Family's wall in the dead of night. I hid myself to observe her actions.
Your appearance wasn’t entirely unexpected, but I’m not surprised either; it adds a few more layers to my suspicions about you.
Heh, what have you guessed?
Sang Qingxiao's background and purpose have been subjects of speculation, and Qi Xiaomian's guesses are getting closer to the truth. He conceals everything he has deduced, only asking about the least significant detail.
Did that person from Shanxia Village appear in Jingjing City by your doing?
Yes.
Is the situation serious?
