He looked at the rain falling that day, embodying a reckless nature. His words were filled with disdain, and neither his gaze nor his tone reflected any respect.
Even though he had expressed his hatred for what people had done, within the demon clan, the master-servant relationship was deeply ingrained, not something that could be erased by mere resentment.
There was still A Si and Suspicion. Sang Qingxiao continued to probe, knowing that Ling Qian bore the Slaughter Curse, her path to death was clear. What about Ling Jiudao? How do you plan to deal with him?
I haven't decided yet. After I handle Ling Qian, I'll think it over carefully; there's no rush. I even plan to scare them a bit after Ling Qian is dead.
Sang Qingxiao thought to herself, fearing that the ones who would be scared might not just be them.
After a lively conversation, A Si felt inclined to indulge in food and drink, singing several songs at will, proving to be quite the mood lifter.
Once he was full and satisfied, he smiled at Sang Qingxiao. "Miss Sang, how about this story? After hearing it, will you still try to stop me?"
Sang Qingxiao pretended to make a move, her finger pointing at A Si's brow, only to be astonished to find she couldn't read any memories.
She frowned and said, "Do not involve the innocent; I will keep a close watch on you!"
A Si agreed, stood up to tidy his clothes, and left the small courtyard while humming a tune.
Qi Hao asked, "Are you really just going to let him go? This kid is dangerous; his hatred runs deep—more so than when I first turned."
"Let Xiao Ye keep an eye on him."
"Just keep an eye on him? Not to mention Ling Qian, if he suddenly unleashes a powerful attack, the entire Ling Family could be wiped out."
Such a major incident would surely cause an uproar throughout the city. If someone were to tie it into factional struggles, Jingjing City would be in turmoil for quite some time.
Having experienced such matters, Qi Hao naturally thought far ahead. His words were not mere alarmism but rather reminders and guidance.
The adults in the courtyard frowned even more upon hearing this.
After some thought, Sang Qingxiao suggested, "Why don't we take the initiative?"
Qi Hao slapped his thigh. "Now that's more like it! Once we deal with Ling Qian and the Ling Family, how can that kid stir up trouble?"
We need to act quickly and quietly; ideally, there should be no trace of our involvement. Sang Qingxiao sighed with a smile. "It's not easy!"
Qi Xiaomian joined in. "The Second Prince might come next time with the Emperor's decree; you won't be able to refuse then."
So, Ling Qian must die quickly but not by our hands. We can design a scheme to lead the Second Prince and the Ling Family into action.
In the small tavern, discussions continued late into the night before everyone dispersed to rest.
The next morning, after the court assembly, Qi Xiaomian was summoned by His Majesty, along with the Second Prince, which was expected.
His Majesty did not beat around the bush and directly asked if Sang Qingxiao had any solutions. His tone sounded quite friendly, showing no blame for what had happened the previous day.
After the Second Prince spoke, he stood up to express his apologies, stating that his handling of the situation had caused trouble for the Small Tavern. Such words of apology should have been said in front of the person involved, but Qi Xiaomian understood the underlying complexities and naturally did not provide the Second Prince with an opportunity to save face in front of Sang Qingxiao.
