The clear moonlight slid down the knife-cut mountain ridge into the valley, illuminating the stream that flowed through it and the black porcelain tiles on the eaves of a manor house.

The manor stands quietly, bathed in moonlight and illuminated by its many lamps, making it resemble a bright pearl nestled in the mountains. Cobblestone paths connect its various courtyards.

The room was very quiet.

Dressed in simple white, Su Jinxuan sat quietly at the wooden table in the room, sipping fragrant tea.

An hour ago, she was abducted to this unfamiliar manor by a mysterious masked man.

But before she could speak, the other person vanished immediately.

Although the figure was illusory and indistinct, she deduced that the person just now must have been Qin Weijiu or someone from Qin Weijiu's faction.

Otherwise, the other party would have no reason to risk kidnapping her.

This sudden turn of events brought her back to Qin Weijiu's side ahead of schedule, but Su Jinxuan found herself surprisingly calm.

suddenly,

"Tap tap tap--"

A gentle knock came from the outside onto the wooden door of the room, followed by the voice of a maid:

"Miss Su, Mr. Qin requests your presence in his study."

Upon hearing this, Su Jinxuan's eyes narrowed slightly. She rose gracefully and, as she walked towards the wooden door, murmured softly:

"... Brother Jiu?"

Squeak--

The wooden door opened, and a pretty young maid appeared in Su Jinxuan's sight.

The maidservant was momentarily stunned upon seeing Su Jinxuan.

The Charm Soul Demon Body is effective on both men and women.

Su Jinxuan smiled slightly at her:

"Is Mr. Qin's full name Qin Weijiu?"

The maidservant snapped out of her daze and blinked. "This... I don't know. I only know that the Lord of the Fort Master calls that young master Mr. Qin."

Su Jinxuan nodded slightly. "Okay, please lead the way for me."

Please follow me.

Seeing this, the maid stepped forward, remaining silent but turning back every three steps.

She had never seen such a beautiful young lady before, and this young lady always gave her a very warm feeling.

The cobblestone path, illuminated by the Bright Pattern Lamp, was not dim; instead, it possessed a moonlit beauty.

This manor in the valley was no match for the Jingjiang Xu Estate. In less than two minutes, the maid led Su Jinxuan to the door of the study.

The faint light of a kerosene lamp shone through the curtains of the study window.

Upon seeing this, Su Jinxuan smiled knowingly.

This Brother Jiu always prefers to use an oil lamp when reading at night.

The maidservant bowed to Su Jinxuan.

"Miss Su, I'll go now. Mr. Qin is waiting for you inside."

Su Jinxuan nodded gently with a soft expression:

"Okay, you can go now."

After saying that,

Su Jinxuan stepped forward, raising her hand to knock on the door, when a hoarse but familiar voice came from inside:

"Jinxuan, come in."

Seeing this, Su Jinxuan smiled again and pushed the door open to enter.

The light from the kerosene lamp was not as bright as the array of the Bright Pattern Lamp, but it had its own unique style. As the flame flickered, Qin Weijiu sat behind his desk, looking at a document that resembled a report in his hands.

Su Jinxuan stopped three meters away from the desk and called out softly:

"Brother Jiu."

Qin Weijiu slightly raised his eyes, his face somewhat pale, surrounded by uncontrollably dissipating Source Qi.

He too was drained of his vital energy.

Xu Changge's Sword Qi was continuous, and the wounds that were stabbed could not heal in a short time.

"Please sit down."

Qin Weijiu put down the folding document and gently pointed to a row of wooden chairs against the wall in the study:

"You've really suffered these past few days."

Su Jinxuan obediently sat down on the wooden chair, shook her head slightly, and looked at Qin Weijiu's pale face with a hint of worry in her eyes:

"Brother Jiu, are you injured?"

Qin Weijiu smiled and waved his hand:

"It's nothing, just some minor injuries."

Su Jinxuan gently pursed her lips, her lips barely moving.

"Is it because of Xu Changge?"

After more than an hour of preparation, she had already mentally prepared her speech.

Upon hearing this, Qin Weijiu's eyes immediately narrowed, and he asked in a solemn voice:

"Jinxuan, did you know beforehand that Xu Changge was in Jingjiang Prefecture?"

Su Jinxuan looked at Qin Weijiu with a hint of guilt in her eyes and nodded slightly.

"Yes, Xu Changtian mentioned this to me two nights ago. He said something like something happened in Nine Origins City."

She paused, then continued:

"Because I just left the Xu Estate a few days ago, I didn't have time to inform you, Brother Jiu."

"."

Upon hearing this, Qin Weijiu and vigorously rubbed his temples.

The question of why Xu Changge appeared in Jingjiang Prefecture was now answered, but the answer inexplicably gave him an urge to laugh.

He assumed that he had already been exposed, which led to Xu Changge's inexplicable arrival. Who would have thought that the reason would be so absurd?

He actually knew what had happened in Nine Origins City. The Tian'an Chamber of Commerce had suffered a serious accident at a demon breeding farm deep in the mountains, resulting in the deaths of many, many people.

But who would have thought that Xu Changge would personally come here because of something like this?!

Amidst the flickering firelight, the study remained silent.

Looking at Qin Weijiu's unpredictable expression, Su Jinxuan bit her lip and suddenly spoke softly:

"Brother Jiu, I'm sorry, but if I were willing to give myself to Xu Changtian..."

"That's enough."

Qin Weijiu to interrupt.

If Su Jinxuan is willing to use her innocence to seduce him, even if Xu Changtian has a secret treasure protecting his soul, he will not be able to withstand the Charm Soul Demon Body.

But he knew this girl's personality all too well.

Looking at Su Jinxuan, who had a guilty expression, Qin Weijiu's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness:

"This isn't your fault; the timing was just wrong. If Qin Mo had arrived sooner, if Xu Changtian had mentioned Xu Changge to you earlier, the outcome would have been different. What a pity."

One wrong move, fate has decreed it; a long sigh escapes.

Su Jinxuan hesitated slightly, then asked with great concern:

"By the way, Brother Jiu, do you know Qin Mo?"

Seeing her cautious, probing gaze, Qin Weijiu remained silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly at her:

"I'm sorry, Jinxuan."

"."

Su Jinxuan's pupils contracted slightly, and she forced a smile, "Brother Jiu... what did you say?"

The special training I received from Ying'er was short, but it was remarkably effective.

Seeing Qin Weijiu sighed again and comforted her:

"I originally wanted to rescue him, but Ran Qingmo stopped me."

Su Jinxuan pursed her lips and looked up:

"Ran Qingmo?"

"The State Preceptor's disciple."

Qin Weijiu explained, his tone tinged with incomprehension. "This idiot woman says the Prime Minister's Estate is going to use force against the Sword Sect, but then she turns around and starts helping the people from the Prime Minister's Estate. Ha!"

"."

Hearing this, the figure of the playboy inexplicably reappeared in Su Jinxuan's mind.

For some reason,

She instinctively felt that this woman with unclear motives was looking for Xu Changtian.

The thought flashed through her mind, and remembering what she had left in his bedroom, she quickly gathered her thoughts.

After a long silence,

In the silence

Su Jinxuan's voice trembled slightly:

"I... I want to avenge Qin Mo, Brother Jiu... can you teach me cultivation?"

The helplessness of being outmatched by a powerful opponent overhead, and the anger over the death of her "beloved," were enough to motivate her to say those words.

"."

Qin Weijiu immediately looked up.

Su Jinxuan clenched her fists and stared intently at Qin Weijiu.

In silence,

Qin Weijiu observed Su Jinxuan's every subtle movement.

From heartbeat to breathing to facial expressions.

Their only gain from this upheaval was probably Qin Mo's death at the hands of the Prime Minister's Estate.

This opportunity could be used to incite hostility between the Burial Village and the Prime Minister's Estate.

However, this matter must be handled with caution. If the people of the Burial Village find out that they were the ones instigating this behind the scenes, it could easily backfire on them.

If Jinxuan were to handle this matter.

Thinking of this, Qin Weijiu did not immediately agree, but gently shook his head:

"Jinxuan, your constitution is special, and I don't have any suitable Cultivation Method at hand right now."

Su Jinxuan was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

Qin Weijiu then changed the subject;

"However, I will help you search for it. The Prime Minister's Estate is powerful now, so this matter needs to be considered carefully."

"Okay, sure." Su Jinxuan.

"Hehe."

Qin Weijiu at Su Jinxuan and smiled slightly.

The Cultivation Method can be given, but he still needs to figure out one thing.

We need to figure out why Qin Mo was exposed so soon after entering the Xu Estate.

Although there are no major suspicions about Jinxuan, it cannot be completely ruled out.
