"Are you talking about the cellar in the palace?" After hearing her words, everyone already had the answer in their hearts.

Obviously, the person behind the scenes controlling the alchemist is none other than Shangguan Jin.

"Yes."

Li Xin nodded and confirmed: "I was young at the time, and I was found by my foster father before I could figure out what happened in the cellar. After that, I had more missions to complete, so I didn't investigate again."

She still remembered the look in her adoptive father's eyes when he found her. They were as cold as the god of death.

Later, her adoptive father was furious with her because of this incident and threw her into the deep mountains and forests;

Let her face those ferocious beasts alone, and tell her that she can only see the light of day again when she eliminates all threats.

"Father." Qu Tingyun and Xuan He looked at each other, and the father and son were about to go down the mountain to stop Shangguan Jin.

But as soon as they went out, they encountered obstacles.

"Is the leader of Qingxu Sect going out?"

A familiar voice was heard, and Li Xin's whole body trembled and he turned around stiffly.

In the center of the square, Shangguan Jin was sitting steadily in a wheelchair, looking at them with a faint smile.

His eyes lingered on Li Xin. He gently raised his hand, palm down, and waved his finger at her: "Li Xin, come here."

Li Xin looked at him and for the first time had the idea of ​​resisting. An inexplicable feeling of rejection arose in her heart, and she didn't want to obey as usual.

Although she had never disobeyed him since she was a child.

"Centrifugal."

Seeing that she didn't move, Shangguan Jin called her name again, with a hint of severity in his tone: "Good children should be obedient."

"Xuanli, what are you waiting for? Come here!"

Shangguan Chen was standing next to Shangguan Jin. Seeing Shangguan Jin's hand reaching for the hidden weapon, he hurriedly shouted, fearing that Li Xin would get into trouble.

Shangguan Jin withdrew his hand, leaned back in his wheelchair, glared at Shangguan Chen coldly, and then continued to stare at Li Xin.

Humph, you are such an ungrateful person. How dare you do this after just three months of not seeing you?

"Xu Li, who do you see over there?" Shangguan Jin asked softly, with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

Don't be afraid, he has a way to make this girl obedient.

Shangguan Jin pointed his finger not far away, where the alchemist was carrying the unconscious Xiao Ruoxin.

Seeing the shocked expression on Li Xin's face, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"If you want this little girl to live, you'd better do as I say and return to your adoptive father," he said.

How could Xin'er fall into his hands! Where is Xiao Yichen? Li Li thought to himself.

"Please let her go."

Li Xin asked Shangguan Jin: "Foster father, please let her go."

She was about to move forward, wanting to trade her own safety for Xiao Ruoxin's freedom, but Qu Tingyun stopped her.

"Senior Shangguan." Qu Tingyun didn't look back, but held Li Xin's hand tightly to stop her from moving forward.

He stood in front of Li Xin, blocking Shangguan Jin's threatening gaze.

"As an elder, why do you want to embarrass a junior who has no grudge against you? If this matter gets out, it will be bad for your reputation."

"Oh, you are really a brave young man."

Shangguan Jin looked at Qu Tingyun and noticed how calm and composed the young man was when facing the crisis.

No wonder Li Xin was attracted to him. Compared to some people, Qu Tingyun was indeed better. He glanced coldly at Shangguan Chen next to him.

"You say there is no grudge? Although I have never seen that little girl, the debt owed by her mother happened a long time ago." Shangguan Jin said.

Qu Tingyun raised his eyebrows: "Senior, what you said is puzzling. Since you have never met Xin'er, how can you have any grudges against her?"

Shangguan Jin pointed at his paralyzed legs, a cold light flashed in his eyes:

"My legs are like this because of her mother! As the ancients said, a daughter should pay off her mother's debt, isn't that right?"

After saying this, he made a gesture to Danshi, who began to tighten his grip on Xiao Ruoxin's neck.

"stop!"

Li Xin saw this and exclaimed, "Godfather, please don't do this!"

"You still remember that I am your godfather!"

Shangguan Jin’s face turned gloomy: “I gave you three months to complete the task, but the result is so disappointing!

Since you can't do it yourself, let me help you solve it!

But I like to see people struggling in pain, so I probably won’t let her die too easily.”

Xiao Ruoxin's face turned purple and blue, and the sharp pain in her chest that felt like it was about to split open made her suddenly sober.

Her eyes widened in horror and her feet struggled desperately, trying to break free from the restraints.

"Shangguan Jin! Stop now!" Her voice was almost cut off, but she still managed to squeeze out these few words.

Seeing this, Qu Xin felt very distressed and was about to rush forward to save his niece, but was suddenly beaten back by a Danshi at lightning speed.

"Xin'er!"

Xuan He cried out in surprise and quickly flew over to catch her as she fell. Before he could stand firm, several dark shadows had already pounced on them like ghosts, intending to deliver a fatal blow!

At this critical moment, Qu Tingyun and Qu Ruchen stepped forward, blocked the attack, and bought Xuanhe a precious moment to catch his breath.

"Master Qu! Master Qu!"

Li Xin stood aside and saw that the two sides were on the verge of a fight, and Xiao Ruoxin's life was slipping away.

She was extremely anxious, and hurried forward to plead with Shangguan Jin: "Foster father, please order all this to stop. Li Qi is willing to do anything."

Shangguan Jin smiled slightly, with an unfathomable meaning hidden in that smile: "Is anything really possible?"

He pointed at Xiao Ruoxin and said, "Then you deal with this girl yourself. As long as you kill her, I will make them stop immediately."

Xiao Ruoxin's throat was strangled and she could only make weak sounds. It seemed that she used up all her strength to speak each word.

But she understood that she must not lose consciousness at this moment and had to hold on until someone came to rescue her.

"Godfather!" Li Xin saw that Xiao Ruoxin's condition was becoming increasingly critical, and his heart was in a mess. He looked everywhere for Xiao Yichen.

"The boy you are looking for is probably no longer alive."

Shangguan Jin sneered, the hidden weapon in his hand ready to fire at any time.

He threatened Xinli: "Do you want to end this girl's life yourself to save your lover, or let me kill them all directly?"

"No! This is impossible..."

Li Xin didn't want to believe it, but as he watched the fierce battle in front of him, doubts began to spread in his heart.

"Centrifugal."

Shangguan Jin urged impatiently, the hidden weapon in his hand already aimed at Xiao Ruoxin who was not far away, as if he was going to attack in the next second.

At this moment, Li Xin felt unprecedented despair. She didn't know what to do. Time seemed to freeze at this moment and everything became blurred.

"Okay! Centrifugal, as you command!"

She lowered her head, and the shadow covered her face, making it difficult to guess her mood at the moment.

The dagger in her hand flashed with a cold light. She turned her back to Shangguan Jin and slowly walked towards Xiao Ruoxin.
