Younger sister

And who are you?

Xu Qi'an looked down at the beautiful girl with equally cold eyes and slowly said:

"Answer my questions honestly if you don't want to die."

As he spoke, he released several streams of energy, sealing the other person's acupoints.

The girl raised her watery eyes, glanced at him, and neither nodded nor refused.

"Then I'll take that as a yes."

Xu Qi'an sat down opposite her, a straw dangling from his mouth, and asked, "Who are you people?"

Xu Yuanshuang paused for a moment, her cheeks burning, and bent her knees, whispering:

"We are disciples of the Autumn Grass Hall in Qingzhou. We've come to Yongzhou with our senior brother to gain experience and broaden our horizons. My name is Chen Yuanshuang."

"Your experience in the ways of the world is indeed at a beginner level."

Xu Qi'an reached out to her slender waist. Xu Yuanshuang's expression changed slightly, and she leaned back forcefully, trying to avoid his advances.

But she was wrong. This ordinary-looking man wasn't trying to pull off her belt; instead, he took the brocade pouch hanging from her waist.

Xu Yuanshuang instinctively tried to take it back, but the moment she grasped the other person's wrist, she pulled it back as if she had been electrocuted, her breathing became heavier, and the blush on her cheeks deepened.

She tried her best to suppress the lustful poison, but the moment she touched the man's body, her will almost collapse, and she uncontrollably pounced on him, begging for pleasure.

Xu Qi'an opened the sachet and glanced inside.

We've struck it rich!

The room was filled with a dazzling array of Law Artifact, including various types such as offensive, teleportation, and defensive ones.

If I had had a teleportation Law Artifact that day, I wouldn't have been forced into such a sorry state by the Vajra of Difficulty. The Warlock really is a rich scoundrel! Xu Qi'an calmly put the brocade pouch into his robes.

Xu Yuanshuang opened her mouth, her eyes flashing with grievance and heartache, but she didn't dare to speak.

"As far as I know, only the Warlock of the Bureau of Astronomy can mass-produce magical Law Artifact. What kind of place is Qiucao Hall?"

Xu Qi'an squinted. "If you refuse to tell the truth, don't blame me for being inhuman."

Xu Yuanshuang stubbornly pursed her lips, her pretty face filled with resentment.

As I was being a little temperamental, Xu Qi'an gently poked her side with his finger.

"Hmm~"

Xu Yuanshuang's delicate body trembled, her beautiful eyes became watery and hazy, and her legs involuntarily rubbed together.

"If you don't cooperate, I'll have my way with you here first, then dump you on the nearby villagers. They may never have seen such a beautiful girl like you in their entire lives," Xu Qi'an threatened.

"You"

Xu Yuanshuang's pretty face was slightly distorted, her eyes filled with fear.

"If you behave yourself, I'll cure you of the love poison," Xu Qi'an said. "How about it?"

Xu Yuanshuang bit her lip, on the verge of tears. "There is no cure for the poison of love."

"It's a love charm, not a love poison," Xu Qi'an corrected.

The girl tentatively suggested, "Please remove the love potion first."

Without Xu Qi'an making any move, his lips parted and closed, and in a moment, a tiny worm crawled out from Xu Yuanshuang's ankle. Xu Qi'an stretched out his finger, and it slowly crawled to his fingertip and disappeared.

After the worm left, Xu Yuanshuang immediately felt the heat in her body disappear, and the lust that was destroying her reason was weakening.

The girl let out a sigh of relief, staring intently at Xu Qi'an: "Are you a member of the Gu Clan?"

"Answer my question, who are you people?" Xu Qi'an asked expressionlessly, ignoring the girl's attempt to change the subject.

Who exactly are you?

As soon as Xu Yuanshuang finished speaking, her bodice suddenly ripped open, revealing a light green undergarment and her fair neck.

She screamed and clutched her chest.

Xu Qi'an sneered, "Delaying time, waiting for the Buddhist School and your companions to search? My patience is limited. I'll only give you three breaths to answer each question. If you try any more tricks, you'll suffer a fate worse than death."

Having her scheme exposed, Xu Yuanshuang dared not delay any longer; she dared not entrust her reputation to the morality of her enemy.

We come from Qianlong City in Yunzhou.

What kind of place is Qianlong City?

Xu Yuanshuang's face showed struggle. After a few seconds of pause, she slowly said, "It's a powerful force."

"From which lineage of the Great Feng royal family five hundred years ago?"

Xu Qi'an delivered information in a calm tone that was as explosive as a bombshell.

Xu Yuanshuang's expression changed drastically, and she looked at him in disbelief.

"You"

She seemed to understand the man's identity and said, word by word, "Are you Xu Qian?"

Xu Qi'an, being quite perceptive, neither admitted nor refuted, and asked, "Who is Ji Xuan, and what is his cultivation level?"

"The seventh son of the Lord of Qianlong City, born out of wedlock." Xu Yuanshuang answered reluctantly, answering only what was asked and revealing no further details.

"Did you come out this time to collect dragon energy?" Xu Qi'an asked.

The girl nodded slightly. " With the Great Feng Dragon Vein collapsing, the city lord assigned this task to Ji Xuan."

"Did you find anything?"

"We found a few hosts for the dragon energy, but it was all scattered fragments of dragon energy, so it wasn't very valuable."

The young man they asked Gongsun Xiangyang to find should also be a host of dragon energy. Xu Qi'an pondered, "Tell me about your companion."

Xu Yuanshuang said, "Besides Ji Xuan and me, the young man who challenged me on the arena just now is my younger brother. The other four are Daoist Master Jiaoye, who is Rogue Cultivator who later joined Qianlong City and has always been a guest of Ji Xuan's household. He is the most loyal to him."

"Qi Huan Dan Xiang of the Xin Gu Clan was wanted by the government for wiping out an entire corrupt official's family in Yunzhou and ended up in Qianlong City; the Demon Beast Bai Hu is Demon Race that the Tianji Palace Master subdued in his early years."

"Liu Hongmian, a disciple of Wan Hua Lou, left the Wan Hua Lou due to dissatisfaction with her junior sister Xiao Yuenu and went on to travel the martial arts world."

She briefly introduced her companion.

That little vixen is a disciple of the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion; no wonder her aura felt so familiar, possessing a captivating, alluring charm. Xu Qi'an said slowly:

Are there any experts at the Transcendent Realm in Hidden Dragon City?

Xu Yuanshuang shook her head. "Transcendent Realm experts are extremely rare. Apart from the Palace Master of Tianji Palace, who is a second-rank Warlock, there are no experts of this level in Qianlong City. However, the Palace Master can rely on Law Artifact and formations to form battle formations, the power of which is no less than that of Transcendent Realm experts."

By using the Warlock's Law Artifact and formations, and combining the strength of many, they can achieve combat power at the extraordinary level. Although their combat power is extraordinary, the core of "immortality" cannot be achieved simply by having many people; the advantages and disadvantages are obvious.

Xu Qi'an was not surprised by this answer. Five hundred years ago, that lineage did indeed lack top experts, so Xu Pingfeng's past plans had a very clear objective.

Eliminate the Prince of Zhenbei and Wei Yuan.

If you can't cultivate exceptional experts in the short term, then bring your opponents down to your own level.

Then, Xu Qi'an asked a few more questions, such as when Qianlong City planned to start its uprising and what the Palace Master of Tianji Palace's next plan was.

But without the answer to her question, the young woman seemed to have no access to such high-level core secrets.

"The last two questions."

Xu Qi'an spat out the grass root in his mouth, "What rank of Warlock are you?"

Xu Yuanshuang pursed her lips. "Sixth rank, Alchemist."

"I remember that Warlock needed to rely on the imperial court. How did your lineage advance in rank?"

"For low-level Warlock, Yunzhou and Qianlong City are enough. But to step into the transcendent realm, one must have the support of the imperial court."

After learning that the other party was Xu Qian, Xu Yuanshuang became more open about these matters. Given Xu Qian's relationship with the Bureau of Astronomy, he probably already knew these secrets. The reason he asked was to test her honesty.

Xu Qi'an nodded and asked one last question, "Your identity!"

"I am the Palace Master's disciple," Xu Yuanshuang said emotionlessly.

"How can a mere disciple possess so many Law Artifact?" Xu Qi'an questioned.

The Law Artifact in the pouch were all exquisite, especially the bracelet that had broken earlier, which could easily withstand the attack of a fourth-rank martial artist.

If Xu Qi'an hadn't possessed a third-grade core, he would have had no choice but to retreat.

Even Chu Caiwei didn't have such a protective Law Artifact. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the big-eyed cutie was well raised in the capital and never went out to travel.

This also proves that this Chen Yuanshuang is no ordinary disciple.

"The Palace Master greatly admires me, saying I have extraordinary talent."

Under the other party's smiling gaze, Xu Yuanshuang tried her best to remain calm and composed, appearing completely innocent.

She couldn't reveal that she was Xu Pingfeng's eldest daughter, as that would bring about an even greater crisis.

Fortunately, Xu Qian was neither Warlock nor familiar with Buddhist School precepts or the Confucian School Law Follows Speech, so it was impossible to know whether she was lying.

Based on her previous answers, the other party might be able to discern whether she was lying, using their understanding of Warlock and that lineage from five hundred years ago.

But Xu Qian would never discover any clues about her background.

At that moment, she saw the long, thin, bright red worm emerge from Xu Qian's sleeve again.

"You"

Xu Yuanshuang's face showed fear, and her delicate body convulsed violently, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not move an inch.

He really didn't intend to let me go. This thought flashed through the girl's mind, and she almost foresaw what was about to happen to her: being violated by a man in this desolate suburb.

There might even be more terrifying consequences.

"Hmm~"

She watched helplessly as the worm burrowed into her body, and that familiar, burning desire surged up again.

Her eyes began to glaze over, her cheeks burned, and her legs began to rub together involuntarily.

Just as she was lost in passion and her willpower was weakened, Xu Yuanshuang saw Xu Qian's eyes suddenly become deep and dark, as if turning into a vortex, drawing her consciousness into it.

Heart Gu!

You can speak the truth even without rules.

"Your true identity."

A man's deep voice echoed in my ears.

Xu Yuanshuang's expression showed a slight struggle before she replied, "Xu Pingfeng is my father, and my real name is Xu Yuanshuang."

A simple sentence was enough to make Xu Qi'an lose control of the Heart Gu.

A storm raged within him. He stared wide-eyed at the alluring girl with disbelief.

She's the daughter of an inhuman child?!

My own sister?!

Xu Yuanshuang suddenly came to her senses, recalling her earlier answer. The blush on her cheeks gradually faded, turning pale.

That was the only thought left in her mind.

She eventually revealed her identity.

Now, death is the best ending, isn't it? Xu Yuanshuang closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, and said sadly, "Kill me."

There was no movement for a long time.

She opened her eyes and cautiously observed Xu Qian, only to find that the man's gaze was incredibly complex.

Xu Pingfeng is a heartless son; how much better can his daughter be? Killing her is out of the question; she's blood-related no matter what. I can't bring myself to do it until she shows strong hostility towards me.

She doesn't look like Xu Pingfeng at all, and neither does that kid with the gun. Did he take after his birth mother? In the end, I'm the one who looks more like Xu Pingfeng. Isn't this a tragedy?

Kidnap her and lock her in a pagoda.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Xu Qi'an took a deep breath and made up his mind.

Give it a cold shoulder!

He didn't want any connection with Xu Pingfeng's blood relatives; fratricide was not a pleasant thing for him.

Xu Qi'an wanted to eliminate Xu Pingfeng mainly to protect himself; he was forced into it.

If this girl is as immoral as Xu Pingfeng, killing her would only cause some discomfort, not a strong sense of guilt.

However, Xu Qi'an was concerned about his birth mother, whom he had never met.

The reason why the original Xu Qi'an was able to survive until now was actually because of his birth mother's love for her child, which gave him a glimmer of hope.

Just when Xu Yuanshuang was in despair, things took a turn for the better.

When she saw Xu Qian lean over, her heart skipped a beat. Before her grief and fear could fully develop, she saw Xu Qian retract the worm once again.

Xu Yuanshuang's face still showed fear, and she looked at him with suspicion and uncertainty.

Xu Qi'an ignored him, released several bursts of energy, and released the seal within Xu Yuanshuang's body. Then, he took out a round jade pendant from his brocade pouch, crushed it, and a burst of clear light rose from below, enveloping him. The next second, he disappeared.

They've left?

Xu Yuanshuang stood up blankly, looked around cautiously, and after confirming that Xu Qian had really left, she lifted her skirt and ran away while crying.

She ran wildly across the wilderness for half an hour before finally finding the official road. It took her another hour to return to Yongzhou City along the road.

Seeing the bustling crowd, I finally felt relieved and regained my sense of security.

Despite the freezing winter months, she ran until she was drenched in sweat, her slender legs feeling numb and swollen.

After searching all the way back to Dajiaochang, they arrived at the courtyard where they had settled down. There, they found Liu Hongmian sitting alone in the hall, drinking tea, looking quite content.

"Oh, you're back?"

Liu Hongmian scrutinized her with surprise, then said with a smile, "Xu Yuanhuai said your mysterious person kidnapped you, which made everyone very anxious."

With a smug look on her face, she stood up, leaned on the armrest of the chair, moved closer to Xu Yuanshuang, sniffed, and became even more surprised.

"Two whole hours, and you haven't lost your virginity? Could it be that the person who kidnapped you is a gentleman?"

Xu Yuanshuang said coldly, "What's it to you?"

Liu Hongmian clicked her tongue twice. "The brocade pouch is gone, hmm, but the other party probably didn't just come for the treasure. Did they ask you anything else? I'll go inform them first, we'll talk about it later. You go take a shower first, tsk, you smell like sweat."

Xu Yuanshuang turned and left, not giving her a chance to continue mocking her.

She boiled water, took a bath, and washed herself clean. Not long after, Xu Yuanhuai, Ji Xuan, and the others returned one after another. Seeing that she was safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yuanhuai's brows furrowed with Sha Qi: "Sister, what happened? Who robbed you?"
