After the rebirth of the little apprentice sister, the white lotus heroine was exposed
Chapter 249 Human Soul Puppet, Xiao Yueying’s Death
Jamel Xiao was well aware of Xiao Yuting's doubts, so he stood beside her and whispered,
"These two have always been spoiled by their eldest uncle. Few people can make them suffer. Even their cousin can't vent his anger. As for apologies, they almost never do. This is the first time they have been asked to apologize."
Xiao Yuting watched the two people's expressions change back and forth calmly, while Xiao Yueying was already seriously injured and had to apologize. Even though Tang Qian stopped her, Xiao Yueying still exploded.
"Who are you to dare to ask me and my mother to apologize? I am the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. Who are you? You dare to hurt me. I want you to pay the price. Envoy Tang, kill her for me."
Xiao Yuting looked at Xiao Yueying's behavior, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She looked at the black figure that appeared beside her. A black dagger appeared in his hand. The figure turned into a phantom, and the next moment it appeared in front of Xiao Yuting, holding the dagger and stabbing towards Xiao Yuting's heart.
Xiao Yuting simply moved her body away to avoid his attack and waved her hand to hit him. No one expected that her palm did not hit a solid entity, and the black figure dispersed without hurting him at all.
Seeing those black figures gather together again, forming a human figure not far away, Xiao Yuting was very surprised.
"You are not a ghost, but how can you make your figure disappear like a ghost?"
Bai Xiao looked at Xiao Yuting's face full of curiosity and surprise, and smiled and reminded her,
"He is a refined humanoid puppet, not a living person."
Xiao Yuting never doubted Bai Xiao's words. This meant that this was a human-shaped puppet. The ability to disappear was the instinctive behavior of a ghost. Could the puppet also become invisible?
The puppet does not have a fixed form, just like the artifact she had seen before, which can change shape and can also be completely dismembered. If it is in this form, it can completely do such a thing.
Xiao Yuting was thinking about these questions while dodging the black shadow's attack. After figuring these things out, she started attacking in the same way as she did against ghosts, using her spiritual sense to attack the black shadow directly. As expected, her guess was correct.
The effect was more effective than any method she had used just now. Looking at the marks appearing on the black shadow's body, she smiled with satisfaction and continued to attack with her spiritual sense. Seeing that the injuries on the black shadow's body were getting worse and worse, a smile appeared on Xiao Yuting's face.
Once again, he condensed a powerful attack and attacked the black figure. The black figure looked at the powerful attack coming towards him again, and a look of fear appeared on his face.
The soul of the black figure was seriously injured by Xiao Yuting and disappeared. A puppet in armor appeared in the air, standing there blankly, no longer moving.
Xiao Yuting was very curious about this kind of puppet and said to Bai Xiao,
"Big Brother, help me study this puppet. It's quite rare."
"Don't be curious. This puppet is no different from a normal one. The only difference is that a normal puppet uses energy stones to control the core device, but this kind of puppet forces the soul of the person into the puppet. Once the soul is broken up, the puppet will be useless. This kind of puppet can no longer exist."
Bai Xiao knew that if he didn't explain these things clearly, Xiao Yuting would definitely make trouble for herself, so he had to tell her everything. Sure enough, when she heard that these puppets were controlled by human souls, her face was full of disgust, and the way she looked at Xiao Yueying changed. It was no longer the disregard and toying she used to have, but now it was filled with murderous intent.
"Grandfather, the Xiao family refined human soul puppets. Do you want to exterminate the Xiao family? Refining human soul puppets is a taboo. Heaven will not let you go. The Xiao family is already the leader of the top ten families. What are you dissatisfied with? You actually refined such a puppet?"
Xiao Yuting did not question Xiao Yueying, but looked at the old patriarch who was sitting in the upper seat.
The Xiao family is good at making puppets. If a human soul puppet is made, the whole continent will unite to destroy the Xiao family. He turned his sharp eyes to his eldest son Xiao Yi, with a cold light in his eyes.
"Xiao Yi, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
The other elders also narrowed their eyes and looked at Xiao Yi with cold gazes. The human soul puppet appeared in the Xiao family, and it was in the hands of his daughter Xiao Yueying. He could not escape the responsibility no matter what.
"Father, I definitely did not let anyone refine a human soul puppet. This is absolutely not allowed in the Xiao family. This is the first time I have seen such a human soul puppet in Xiao Yueying's hands. It was definitely not given to her by me."
Xiao Yi was also a little dumbfounded. Many people in their Xiao family were puppeteers and could refine puppets, but since its establishment, the Xiao family did not allow the creation of human soul puppets. Once one appeared, all people related to that person would be expelled from the Xiao family, and even their cultivation would be abolished. There would be no mercy at all.
"Xiao Yueying, where did your human soul puppet come from?"
Xiao Yueying was extremely panicked at the moment. This human soul puppet was her biggest trump card. She had intended to use it to save her life at the critical moment, but no one had expected that Xiao Yueying would use the human soul puppet to deal with Xiao Yuting, in front of so many people. Isn't this courting death?
Tang Qian and Xiao Hongfei looked at the human soul puppet with dejected looks on their faces. They were finished too, being dragged down by Xiao Yueying, this burden. They both didn't know what would become of them, and whether Xiao Yi would give up on them completely.
This human soul puppet was given to her for her own safety. She had repeatedly warned her not to use this human soul puppet unless it was a life-and-death situation. But this idiot actually used the human soul puppet to kill people in such a situation. Isn't this just giving the Xiao family a head?
"Xiao Yueying called the Human Soul Puppet Tang Shi, so he should be from the Tang family. If this Human Soul Puppet was not given by you, then it must have been given by the Tang family. Just lock them up and investigate the Tang family directly. There are also many people in the Tang family who can refine puppets. Moreover, with their virtues, it is not surprising for them to refine Human Soul Puppet."
Yun Jing knew the secretive and vicious nature of the Tang family, and didn't care about Xiao Yi's expression at all, nor did she care whether he would hate her and settle accounts with her, so she said with a smile.
Hearing her words, the elders all turned their eyes to Tang Qian and Xiao Hongfei. Even the old patriarch looked at the two of them. Yun Jing was right. They all knew the moral character of those people in the Tang family. It was not uncommon for them to do such a thing.
"Will you confess on your own, or will you confess after I lock you up in the dungeon and torture you?"
The Great Elder looked at Tang Qian and her two sons and said directly that this kind of thing must be completely stopped, otherwise, it would bring disaster to the Xiao family. He would never allow such a thing to happen.
"Great Elder, my mother and I are innocent. We don't have a human soul puppet, and we don't know where Yueying got the human soul puppet from."
It was difficult for Xiao Hongfei to maintain his appearance as a gentle and noble man at this moment, and he hurriedly spoke to the Great Elder.
"Really? Xiao Yueying would never go out to train alone. She would go with you. Now you tell us that you don't know where she got her human soul puppet. Are you treating us like fools?"
The Great Elder didn't believe what Xiao Hongfei said at all. He knew that Xiao Yueying was just a gun for him and Tang Qian. They would push her out when they did anything bad. The two of them had completely cleared themselves of all charges, but Xiao Yueying was a fool and didn't have so many schemes at all. She must be another target pushed by this mother and son.
"Someone, torture Xiao Yueying severely and force her to tell you where her human soul puppet came from."
"Yes, Great Elder!"
After the order from the great elder, the old patriarch and the patriarch did not stop it, and the guards of the Xiao family did not hesitate any more. They directly arrested Xiao Yueying and started beating her severely.
But even so, Xiao Yueying didn't say a word, not even asking for help or mercy. Only at this moment did they become alert. When they went to see Xiao Yueying again, they found that she was dead.
"Dead? How did you die?"
The Great Elder watched the guards turn Xiao Yueying's body over, only to realize that her breath had disappeared.
"He took poison and died of poisoning."
There was a guard who had medical skills among them and he examined her body before reporting the matter.
"How is it possible? We have been watching Xiao Yueying the whole time. She has never taken poison. How is it possible that she took poison right under our noses?"
The Great Elder didn't believe that Xiao Yueying died of poisoning, but at this moment Xiao Yuting's eyes were fixed on someone. For some reason, she always felt that this matter was not that simple and there must be something she had missed.
For some reason, she always felt that Xiao Yi didn't seem to love Xiao Yueying that much. Even Tang Qian and Xiao Hongfei didn't seem very sad to see Xiao Yueying die. Most people treated her as some kind of pawn.
"Xiao Yuting, you've gone too far. You actually killed my daughter. Can't you tolerate my daughter? Is it just for the position of the eldest daughter of the Xiao family? How can you be so cruel?"
Tang Qian sat on the ground hugging her daughter Xiao Yueying, crying with tears in her eyes, and questioned Xiao Yuting in a sad tone.
Xiao Yuting just thought that Tang Qian was really funny, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"I was the one who killed Xiao Yueying. Where's the evidence? She was going to be captured for refining the human soul puppet. You and your good son were going to be captured too. Why would I kill her? Just because she was able to snatch my identity as the eldest lady, who do you think you and your daughter are? Is it necessary for me to personally take action for such a shameless thing? That would be an insult to myself. Is it worth it for you?"
Xiao Yuting's words made Tang Qian and Xiao Hongfei's faces turn pale. They knelt down beside Xiao Yi and begged him to take care of Xiao Yueying. The implication of their words was that Xiao Yuting had killed Xiao Yueying.
"Does Yuting know who you and your mother are? From the beginning to the end, it was the Tang family and you and your mother who were looking for trouble with Yuting. Before Yuting came back, she was the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. Now that Yuting is back, her status is higher than hers, so she would do so many things.
It's a pity that she deserves to die. She actually dared to refine a human soul puppet. You want to protect him, but you have to see if the whole family will agree. She even dared to bite Yu Ting. Aren't you afraid that Yu Ting and the others will skin you and your son alive?"
Yun Jing looked at Xiao Yi's expression and knew that he had become soft-hearted again and wanted to protect Tang Qian and her son without distinguishing right from wrong. She didn't want to see Xiao Yuting suffer, so she quickly retorted.
Yun Jing's words made Xiao Yi hesitate. He didn't speak immediately, but looked at Tang Qian with hesitation in his eyes, not sure whether she knew about the human soul puppet.
"Lock them both in the dungeon first and investigate this matter thoroughly first."
Sure enough, when Xiao Yi was still wavering, the old patriarch glared at his indecisive eldest son angrily and gave a direct order.
When they heard that they were going to be imprisoned in the water dungeon, their faces changed. They had no idea where Xiao Yueying's human soul puppet came from, nor did they know how she died, but they were imprisoned in the water dungeon because of her. Damn it, was the water dungeon the place where they were going? They would be skinned alive if they went in. They really didn't know who was plotting against them. Xiao Yueying's death would bring disaster to them. What a bitch.
With the old patriarch's order, the guards came up and arrested the two people directly. Xiao Yi just watched and had no intention of helping.
Yun Jing looked at Xiao Yi's appearance and curled her lips in disdain. She looked down on this man even more. She simply ignored him and walked to Xiao Yuting. When she was about to say something, she saw Xiao Yuting walked to Xiao Yueying and began to examine Xiao Yueying's body.
He found out that she had indeed died of poisoning, and the injuries she had inflicted on him had not healed but had become more serious. If other people checked, they might have found out that he had killed her, and that death was not caused by poisoning. It seemed that this was clearly aimed at him.
Her movements were not subtle, and everyone knew that she was checking her body. Xiao Yi also watched her check, and only looked at her and asked after she stopped.
"Yuting, how did Yueying die?"
"It looks like I beat her to death, but the spiritual power I used would only seriously injure her, not kill her. Didn't uncle give her some pills to heal her injuries? Why does it seem to have no effect at all? Also, where did the poison in her body come from?"
Xiao Yuting did not hide it. Clarifying it now was the best option. Although she was not afraid, there was no need to ruin her reputation.
"Let me see. It's obvious that they want to frame our little princess. They are so vicious. It's really abominable. Today is the first time our little princess enters the Xiao Mansion. If she has to bear the reputation of killing the concubine of the Xiao Mansion, then how can our little princess keep her reputation?"
Xiao Jingyan immediately understood that someone here must be using Xiao Yueying's death to frame Xiao Yuting and make it impossible for her to gain a foothold in the Xiao Mansion.
The others had lived for so many years and were not stupid, so they understood these things immediately. However, at this moment, they were more concerned about the matter of the human soul puppet, which was what would cause the Xiao Mansion to become the public enemy of the entire continent.
"What the little princess said is right. Xiao Yueying's death was indeed very strange. This poison is also very rare. He really wants to blame the little princess for Xiao Yueying's death. But no one in the Xiao Mansion has a grudge against the little princess. Who would risk being exterminated to frame the little princess? Or is this person just trying to deal with the Xiao Mansion?"
After examining Xiao Yueying's body, Xiao Jingyan looked at the corpse and talked to himself, as if he didn't care at all how horrifying his words might sound to other people.
