I am a cannon fodder, so what's wrong with grabbing an opportunity?

Xie Zhiqiu shrugged nonchalantly and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, don't take it too seriously."

The guards remained silent, and Xia Miao stared at Xie Zhiqiu fiercely.

Xie Zhiqiu didn't care what the two thought at all. He walked to the nightmare beast and told it, "Don't worry, you won't die."

When the Nightmare Beast heard what Xie Zhiqiu said, the whole beast felt unwell and seemed to be about to go berserk.

The guard noticed it as well, and ignoring the pain, he pulled it out from the wall and ran over to the Nightmare Beast to comfort it.

"Zhao Qiu, if you don't want to help, get out and don't get in the way here."

Xia Miao's furious voice echoed throughout the morgue.

If this person was not the helper sent by Uncle Qiao, he would have taken action.

"Just leave."

The guard thought that Zhao Qiu would still argue with Patrol Envoy Xia, so how could he get out so easily?

After Xie Zhiqiu went out, he did not wait quietly at the door, but wandered around under the pretext of asking where the toilet was.

After the nightmare beast entered A Zheng's body, it did not wake up for a long time.

A quarter of an hour passed...

Two quarters of an hour passed...

Xia Miao was a little anxious and asked, "What's going on? Why did it take so long to investigate?"

The guard didn't know how to answer him, so he could only make up an excuse, "Maybe it's his first time exploring his own kind, so he's not used to it."

The two continued to wait, and after another quarter of an hour, "No, go call the trainer over and see what's going on."

The guards took the order and left, leaving Xia Miao alone.

Xia Miao was wandering around the morgue alone, feeling that something was wrong.

"Zhao Qiu, Zhao Qiu..." Xia Miao shouted loudly, but no one responded to him.

When I went out to take a look, sure enough, the person was gone.

He went straight to Xia Feng, the deputy captain of the city guard, and said, "Brother Feng, I need your help to find someone."

"Brother Miao, don't be anxious, talk slowly." Xia Feng said.

After hearing what Xia Miao said, Xia Feng felt a little dissatisfied with Xia Miao, but he still immediately sent someone to find Zhao Qiu.

"Brother Miao, you have to be careful after you find the person. If anything is leaked and Granduncle blames you, Uncle Qiao won't be able to protect you."

Xia Miao listened to Xia Feng's words and quickly responded, "Brother Feng is teaching me a lesson. I got carried away these past few days and I won't make this mistake again."

"It's good that you admit your mistake. Go do your job first. I'll send the person to you when I find him."

After thanking Xia Feng, Xia Miao returned to the morgue.

But he didn't expect that when Zhao Qiu came back, he was accompanied by someone he hated - Qin Qi.

Xia Miao took two steps forward and held Xie Zhiqiu's hand, trying to pull her aside and ask her why she was running around and whether she wanted to die.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Qin Qi.

In an instant, Xia Miao exuded hostility towards Qin Qi.

"Qin Qi, this is none of your business. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

Qin Qi would not listen to Xia Miao and said, "Of course it's my business. Don't you need me to check on the nightmare beast?"

"Just check it out. What does it have to do with you meddling in other people's business?" Xia Miao's tone was still stiff.

Qin Qi looked at Xia Miao and said nonchalantly, "I just happened to meet Daoist Zhao and asked her to sit with me for a while. I'm sorry for disturbing so many people and making you worry."

Xie Zhiqiu was delighted when he saw Xia Miao being manipulated by Qin Qi and not knowing how to refute him.

She came out to smooth things over at the right time, imitating the tone of the Mary Sue heroine and saying, "Don't argue over me..."

Qin Qi cooperated with Xie Zhiqiu very well, "No, I must help you, no matter what difficulties and obstacles there are."

The two looked at each other affectionately. Even though Xia Miao knew that they did it on purpose, he still felt like he was going crazy.

He hated Qin Qi for being like this, he seemed to get along well with everyone, which made him look so special.

Zhao Qiu was also very annoying and stood with Qin Qi.

Qin Qi and Xie Zhiqiu looked at Xia Miao at the same time, and glanced at each other with annoyed expressions.

"Qin Qi, let's go check on the Nightmare Beast."

"Okay, it's up to you."

The guards nearby were all stunned. Why did it seem like there were pink bubbles?

I couldn't help but have a bold guess in my mind.

Xie Zhiqiu and another person entered the morgue one after another.

Xie Zhiqiu was the first to notice that there was nothing inside. He exclaimed, "Oh my god, where's the nightmare beast? Did you hide it?"

Xia Miao's mouth was faster than his brain, and he blurted out: "Isn't it in there?"

Qin Qi was one step behind Xie Zhiqiu and also saw the situation inside. Combining what the two said, he stared at Xia Miao with a serious face.

"Xia Miao, you'd better give me an explanation. How could such a good nightmare beast disappear in your hands?"

Xie Zhiqiu moved her body quietly, not wanting Xia Miao to see her.

Xia Miao also knew that something bad had happened, and his mind was working quickly. He could not be held responsible for the disappearance of the Nightmare Beast.

He glanced at the guard and Zhao Qiu respectively, "Zhao Qiu, why are you running around? If it weren't for you, the Nightmare Beast wouldn't have been lost. You have to take the responsibility."

Xie Zhiqiu: ...

Qin Qi took the lead in mocking Xia Miao: "Xia Miao, you are really amazing. You actually used a little girl to take the blame. I have finally seen the style of your Xia family."

Since someone had spoken for him, it was naturally impossible for Xie Zhiqiu to jump out again.

He put his hands over his eyes and began to sob loudly while confessing.

"Oh, God, oh, earth, my life is so miserable. Why did I have to deal with Xia Miao..."

The city guards were already searching for Xie Zhiqiu, and they immediately surrounded him when they heard the noise.

Xia Miao immediately wanted to stop Xie Zhiqiu, but was stopped by Qin Qi, and the two started fighting.

Seeing that people were surrounding him and Xia Miao was still entangled by Qin Qi, Xie Zhiqiu howled even louder.

Pointing at Xia Miao and cursing.

"I, Zhao Qiu, am really unlucky to have met your Xia family. You asked me to follow you to investigate the case, just to let me take the blame for your mistakes."

"I just went out to the toilet, and when I came back you wanted me to take the blame for the missing Nightmare Beast."

Xia Miao was afraid that Zhao Qiu would say something nonsense again, so while dealing with Qin Qi, he had to ask someone to cover Zhao Qiu's mouth.

Some people who were loyal to the Xia family stepped forward and tried to pin Zhao Qiu to death, while the others just watched the show.

Xie Zhiqiu was excited when he saw these people surrounding him. He would knock one away if there was one, kick a pair away if there were two, and sweep away all three if there were three.

She still complained: "I'm constipated, so what? It's really unfair that I have to take the blame for you just because I can't poop."

"I went through so much trouble to come to Hibiki City, hoping to earn a little money, but I lost my life before I could earn any money."

……

The onlookers, looking at this chaotic scene, didn't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for Zhao Qiu.

Her words touched the hearts of many people. Isn’t Zhao Qiu one of them?

Think about the blame they have for everything and how little salary is left.

I don’t know who in the crowd spoke first, “Well said.”

The spectators were talking at once and pointing fingers at the Xia family's lackeys.

When Xia Feng came over, he saw Xia Miao and Qin Qi fighting fiercely. There were a bunch of people lying next to a female cultivator, many of whom were familiar faces.

"Stop it, everyone." Xia Feng shouted angrily.

When Xia Miao and Qin Qi saw the people coming, they stopped even though they were dissatisfied.

Xie Zhiqiu had originally stopped, but someone tried to sneak attack her, so she kicked him again and sent him flying.

How could Xia Feng tolerate someone challenging his authority? He slapped Xie Zhiqiu.

"Zhao Qiu..."

Qin Qi shouted Zhao Qiu's name and wanted to go forward to help her, but was immediately held down by the people brought by Xia Feng.

He watched helplessly as the palm was directed towards Xie Zhiqiu, but was powerless to do anything.
