Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

The door of the Zen room slowly opened, and Wentian walked out. He shifted his gaze from the corpse on the ground to Qu Xin:

“Miss Qu, my Qingxu sect has always upheld justice. Although we cannot be completely sure that it was you who did it, you still need to bear the responsibility.

In order to investigate the truth, please stay in the room for the time being and do not move around. I will give you an explanation once I have found out everything."

Although he is the leader of the Qingxu Sect, Wentian would not jump to conclusions easily to avoid causing criticism. After all, no one witnessed Qu Xin's crime, and although the dagger belonged to her, it seemed too hasty to convict her.

He needed to wait a few more days and slowly collect evidence that could prove Qu Xin's guilt, so that he could explain to the Yin family without leaving any room for criticism to the outside world.

After hearing this, Xuan He felt a little more relaxed.

At least during this time, she would be safe. He was determined to work hard to find clues that could prove her innocence and clear her name.

Master is right. Although the dagger is hers, it does not directly prove that she is the murderer. Maybe the dagger was picked up by someone and used to commit the murder?

Even though she was a member of the Five Poison Sect, he had seen firsthand what she was like - she wasn't evil, and she wouldn't hurt others for no reason.

What's more, she brought him an unprecedented feeling, and he sincerely didn't want her to have any misfortune.

"What if I refuse?" Qu Xin asked. She has a strong personality and never does anything she hasn't done before, nor will she accept unwarranted punishment.

"Witch! Don't be so shameless!" A female disciple asked angrily, thinking that Qu Xin dared to contradict their master.

"Shame on you? Ha!"

Qu Xin sneered: "You mean by house arrest you are giving me face? Then I will give you this 'face', do you want it?"

"You!" The female disciple was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"enough."

Xuan He interrupted the quarrel: "Miss Qu, this matter is of great importance, please cooperate with us. If it is really not you who did it, I will definitely give you justice."

"The innocent are innocent themselves, and there is no need for others to prove it."

She felt that the biggest grievance was his disbelief: "Just now the Taoist priest suspected me of murder, but now he said he would help me clear my name. Isn't this a contradiction?"

Xuan He was speechless for a moment. Knowing that she was angry, he didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that a wrong word would make her angry again.

"Anyway, Miss Qu, please stay in the room for the next few days. I will do my best to find out the truth and clear your name as soon as possible, okay?"

The last gentle question touched Qu Xin's heart. After a moment of silence, she looked at him and said, "Okay, I'll believe you again."

Just like that, Qu Xin agreed to cooperate temporarily, and Xuan He promised to do his best to find out the truth of the matter.

Qu Xin was lying on the bed bored. When he turned around, he could see the reflection of the guards in the window - the disciples of Qingxu Sect were standing guard outside the door in full readiness.

She tried to open the door, but found it was locked, and the window was only a crack away, so she couldn't even stretch her hand out. This tight defense made her feel like she was being treated as a prisoner.

She sneered, sat up straight, and propped her left elbow on her bent knee. Calculating the time, the news she bought from Linglong Pavilion at a high price should be delivered tonight. She must go and get it in person.

Although Xuan He had helped her investigate some circumstances of the Han Mansion's Gonghou family tragedy before, many details were still unclear.

For example, who was the leader of the arson that night? Who was the knife-wielding man who was chasing her? Why did the Han Mansion encounter this disaster? She must get the answers to these questions!

However, her current situation gave her a headache. The guards were so tight that even flies could hardly get in, let alone people. How could she get out?

After thinking for a moment, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She strode towards the door, gathered her inner strength and pushed hard!

There was a loud "bang"!

"What happened? What is that woman doing in there?" The two guards outside the door looked at each other and stared vigilantly at the shaking door.

"Go in and take a look!"

This is a person that Master and Senior Brother have specifically instructed to be strictly monitored. No mistakes can be made!

The two hurriedly untied the chain and pushed the door open: "What are you doing?"

They questioned in unison, using a tough and rude attitude towards this so-called "witch".

"I just want you to open the door." Seeing that the door was opened, Qu Xin stopped with a sly smile on his face.

"I need to go to the bathroom. You can't let me hold it in, right?" she explained in a relaxed tone.

"People have three urgent needs. These are things that no one can control, right?"

"You are so shameless!" After hearing this, the two disciples blushed and scolded in unison.

"Shameless? Haha, are you two immortals who never eat, drink, or go to the toilet?" she asked sarcastically.

Qu Xin sneered, "Now even going to the toilet is considered shameless? If that's the case, you might as well practice Taoism, so you don't have to do things that bring shame to the Qingxu Sect."

Ever since the moment she stepped into Qingxu Sect, the people here have been unfriendly to her.

Qu Xin is not the kind of person who easily forgets grudges. Since they made her uncomfortable, she will not show them any mercy.

The two disciples' faces turned red instantly, their eyes filled with anger. One of them even clenched the hilt of his sword, with the tip of the sword slightly exposed.

But Qu Xin was unmoved. She looked straight at them and said, "You have seen my abilities. How many of my moves do you think you can block with your current abilities?"

She looked down at the sword in the disciple's hand and continued, "I just want to go to the toilet. Is that so difficult? If you are worried that I will run away, then just come with me."

"Shameless witch! Who would go with you?"

Another disciple frowned in disgust and took a step back with his companion: "Go quickly! Don't even think about running away. The entire sect is guarding us. You can't run away!"

This boy is so silly and cute that he told her the location of the guards before she even asked him.

Qu Xin smiled secretly in his heart, easily coaxed the two minions away, and then quickly left the room.

The entire mountain faces north and south, and there are people guarding on both the east and west sides. For a moment, Qu Xin couldn't find a way out.

While searching around, she came across a remote cottage by chance. The cottage looked quite old and no one had been there for a long time.

Just as she was worrying about how to get away, the two disciples who had been guarding her came. Seeing this, Qu Xin quickly pushed the door open and hid in the house.

"Don't chase her. She won't go that way."

A disciple's voice came from outside: "That is the library. The master has ordered that no one is allowed to enter without permission. The eldest brother was seriously injured because he read the forbidden book. We'd better not take any risks."

Qu Xin heard it all clearly in the room and was shocked.

They said that the eldest brother was injured because he read the forbidden book? He told her before that it was because he disobeyed the mission, but she felt that it was not that simple.
