The answer
He actually released poisonous insects to harm his junior sister; killing him would be too lenient.
What Liu Xiu didn't expect was that after Protector Cheng made his move, the Commandant Feng also attacked him!
What were once deep friendships have now turned into bitter enemies!
With these two attacking, Liu Xiu was completely powerless to fight back. In the blink of an eye, her face turned deathly pale, her breath weakened, and she was on the verge of being beaten to death.
In fact, if these two hadn't still held onto a sliver of old friendship, Liu Xiu, with his limited cultivation, would have had no chance of surviving against them.
Liu Xiu coughed up a mouthful of blood, barely managing to stay alive. He was filled with remorse, regretting that he hadn't been able to resist coming to Elder Bing tonight. If he hadn't come, things wouldn't have turned out this way. He regretted even more why he had written this booklet, which had now become his death warrant!
Liu Xiu's heart was as bitter as pickled bitter melon.
It's just that he had too many lovers, and his memory was poor; if he didn't write down the dates, he was prone to making mistakes. He always carried this booklet with him so he could refer to it at any time.
For years, his booklet had never been discovered. Who would have thought that it would be ruined by a Qiaoqiao!
This Qiaoqiao is practically his nemesis!
Liu Xiu's hands, hidden beneath his long sleeves, trembled. He knew things had come to this; everything was ruined. The position he had painstakingly built up—everything was destroyed!
He turned to look at the only person who could save him—the stern-faced Elder Bing.
Others may not know the details of what happened in Envy Fish City, but Elder Bing was involved. They were in the same boat, and regardless of their status or personal relationship, she should save him.
Now, she's the only one who can save him.
In that exchange of glances, Elder Bing seemed to chuckle silently.
This smile left Liu Xiu somewhat bewildered. Before he could react to why Elder Bing was smiling like that, he felt a chill on his neck, and then his vision went completely red.
--It's his own blood.
Liu Xiu belatedly felt the pain. In the moonlight, he saw an extremely thin thread retract from his neck and coil back into Elder Bing's hand.
Liu Xiu's eyes widened suddenly.
"Heh, heh... for..."
His eyes were wide open, and a large amount of blood gushed from the wound on his neck. He fell straight down.
A large patch of blood spread out, and Liu Xiu fell silent.
"Ah--"
Liu Xiu actually died!
The disciples gasped in unison, Elder Bing remained expressionless. "This man's evil deeds have already been exposed. How long are you going to hesitate?"
None of those present expected her to act so discreetly and decisively. Protector Cheng said in a deep voice, "You are indeed cold-blooded and ruthless; you can even lay a hand on your own wife."
Elder Bing said, "So what if she's my bedmate? As the Elder of Enforcement, I naturally cannot tolerate such behavior."
Commandant Feng narrowed his eyes. "I think Elder Bing is in a hurry to kill someone to silence them and cover up the truth?"
Elder Bing's tone turned serious. "Commandant Feng, you can't just say things like that. Are you trying to frame me by crying 'stop thief' yourself?"
"Heh." The Commandant Feng smirked, "Did Elder Bing think that killing Liu Xiu would make it so no one would know about this?"
He looked at Elder Liu lying on the ground.
Although the Commandant Feng did not know what had happened before, he saw Elder Liu chasing after Liu Xiu when he arrived, and guessed that Elder Liu must know something.
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Bing's expression changed.
Just then, Elder Liu, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, suddenly got up, grabbed the whisk that had turned into a long handle, and took the opportunity to escape!
Elder Bing felt a sense of relief; this old bastard did know how to run away.
It would have been one thing if she had killed Liu Xiu, but killing another person with the surname Liu would have seemed far too obvious.
Just as she was secretly rejoicing, she saw Qiaoqiao flipping through the booklet about Liu Xiu with a rustling sound, "Elder Bing, there are so many of your names written in this book."
Elder Bing:!!!
Answers to Chapter 35
Elder Bing looked at Qiaoqiao with suspicion and uncertainty. She wasn't sure if Qiaoqiao was bluffing her, or if that fool Liu Xiu had really written those things.
With her limited experience, looking into the little girl's round, almond-shaped eyes, she couldn't tell whether she was telling the truth or lying.
She quickly regained her composure. "Those are Liu Xiu's slanderous words; how can you take them seriously?"
Qiaoqiao blinked. "Elder, just now when I told you the contents of the booklet, you said that Hall Master Liu's evil deeds had been exposed, but now you say it's slander. The contents here are sometimes true and sometimes false. Is it all up to you to decide?"
The Commandant Feng chuckled, making no attempt to hide his admiration for Qiaoqiao. "That's true. Which sect are you a disciple of?"
Qiaoqiao proudly declared, "Qiaoqiao of the Flowing Cloud Sect."
"Qiaoqiao, I'll remember you."
Elder Bing's face was cold and grim. "Where is the leader of the Flowing Cloud Sect? Allowing disciples to slander this elder, is this not taking the Glazed Sea seriously?"
She knew perfectly well that no one from the Flowing Cloud Sect was there, yet she tried to intimidate Qiaoqiao with her power, threatening her with her status as an elder to make her fearful and back down. Under such pressure, most disciples would tremble with fear.
But the disciple Qiaoqiao showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she asked her, "Elder Bing, do you usually like to look in the mirror?"
Elder Bing:?
What is she saying?
One sentence caused a stir among the disciples in the crowd.
There were two groups of disciples watching. One group consisted of disciples from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion who had come from Heavenly Secrets City by flying boat, and the other group consisted of disciples from the Profound Heaven Sect who had rushed back from the cave. These disciples had seen the contents of the Zhaowu Mirror and knew that Elder Bing and Liu Xiu were in cahoots. Hearing what Qiaoqiao said, they couldn't help but start discussing it again.
Seeing their heated discussion, a disciple from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion quickly approached and whispered, "What's going on?"
The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, being the head of the four great immortal sects, usually held themselves in high esteem. But now, with its humble and eager-to-learn demeanor, the Profound Heaven Sect disciple felt a surge of superiority and quickly began to vividly describe what had just happened in the cave, "Let me tell you, that scene was truly spectacular..."
