Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Li Qingchi smiled slightly when he heard this, accepting the compliment, even though the idea was not his.

"Bai Sheng, you can't beat me. As long as you obey me, I will still treat you as my own granddaughter. The matter of the Beast King will naturally be clarified, and you will still be the distinguished lady of the Li family."

Hua Xi's face was calm and she replied calmly, "Really? Unfortunately, I don't want to be the young lady of your Li family."

"Bai Sheng!" Li Qingchi's face was grim, and there was a warning in his tone, "Don't be ungrateful."

Hua Xi: "If I knew what was good for me, then Chief Li wouldn't have to erase my memory."

Li Qingchi: “…” That does make sense.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

Li Qingchi moved a medicine bottle on the table in front of Hua Xi.

"Eat it."

Hua Xi examined the medicine bottle, then turned her gaze to Li Qingchi, as if asking him to explain.

Li Qingchi said simply and concisely: "Sealing Source Pill."

As the name suggests, the Sealing Source Pill can seal the source of a martial artist's internal energy, preventing him from exerting his full strength.

The martial artist who has taken the Fengyuan Pill has the same strength as an ordinary person.

"You are aware of your own abilities. If your internal energy is not sealed, you cannot be imprisoned."

"Of course, you can choose not to eat it, but if you don't eat it, I can't guarantee that something unexpected won't happen in Desperate Situation."

Li Qingchi was certain that Hua Xi would not ignore the desperate situation.

Hua Xi was silent for a moment, and finally reached out and picked up the medicine bottle.

"You're sensible." Li Qingchi said with satisfaction.

Hua Xi opened the medicine bottle, poured the small pill into her mouth, tilted her head back and swallowed it without hesitation.

Li Qingchi ordered the guards outside: "Take her away and lock her up."

……

Lotus Island gets its name from its lotus-like shape.

When Yi Mu knocked out the man guarding the island owner's manor and walked into the house, Xiao Hei was carefully bandaging Pu Yin's arm.

"Sister Pu Yin, why didn't you hide just now?" Xiao Hei's hands trembled slightly, and every time he wrapped a circle of bandage, it seemed as if a trace of guilt was wrapped around his heart.

There was no expression on Pu Yin's face, as if he didn't feel any pain: "If I hide, you will be the one who gets hurt."

Tan Xiu's sudden betrayal was like a storm that swept across this previously peaceful island.

Not only did he unite with outside forces, he also had people surround the island owner's manor.

Because once Yi Mu returns, he will definitely rush here first.

Four people have lived in the island owner's manor for many years.

Master Qingming and his two disciples plus Xiao Hei.

However, in recent years, the person who has lived in the manor for the longest time is Xiao Hei. Yi Mu is studying in Baicheng, Qing Ming is wandering around setting up a stall to tell fortunes, and Tan Xiu has a house outside. He will only live in the manor when Qing Ming is around.

Xiao Hei, whose real name is Yuan Mo, is a young man who changed his name to "Xiao Hei" because he felt his name was too elegant.

He is not a martial artist. In fact, he was picked up by Qing Ming just like Tan Xiu. The difference is that Tan Xiu was picked up on the island, while Xiao Hei was picked up outside the island. He arrived at Lotus Island one year earlier than Yi Mu.

Since Xiao Hei was an ordinary person, Qing Ming did not accept him as his apprentice, but the treatment he enjoyed was no worse than that of Yi Mu and Tan Xiu.

He was interested in coding, so Qingming hired the best computer teacher to teach him.

Yi Mu and Tan Xiu spent most of their time immersed in arduous training, and even when they were not training or resting, they didn't like to talk.

Tan Xiu is relatively cheerful, but not that cheerful.

Therefore, the only person who can keep Qingming company and relieve his boredom is Xiao Hei, who is Qingming's happy pill.

Something happened these two days, and Pu Yin came to protect Xiao Hei.

Today Xiao Hei wanted to go out for a walk (actually he wanted to go out to find out what was going on), but the guard would not let him go out. Xiao Hei insisted, and during the stalemate, the other party impulsively raised a gun to threaten him.

In order to protect Xiao Hei, Pu Yin was shot in the arm, but it was not serious. The bullet just grazed the skin and some blood came out.

Pu Yin was the first to spot Yi Mu, "Lord Mu."

"Yi Mu, you're back. Let's go and avenge Sister Pu Yin!" Seeing Yi Mu, Xiao Hei seemed to have a backer. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out.

Yi Mu ignored him and walked straight towards Pu Yin, "How is your injury?"

Pu Yin shook his head, indicating that he was fine, "It's just a minor scratch."

When Xiao Hei saw that the person behind him did not follow him, his momentum suddenly dropped and he turned back.

He bit his lip, his face full of guilt: "It's all my fault. I had to go out, which caused Sister Pu Yin to get hurt."

"I don't blame you." Pu Yin said.

She treated Xiao Hei as her own brother and was willing to protect him.

"Sister Pu Yin, you are really so good to me." Xiao Hei said, his eyes moistened and he reached out to wipe the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, Yi Mu suddenly looked towards the door.

I saw Tan Xiu and the leader of the Shadow Demon Alliance, Duan Heng, slowly walking over.

Yi Mu did not hide himself when he came back, so the news naturally reached Tan Xiu's ears quickly.

Pu Yin also noticed their arrival, his eyes instantly became alert, and he stood up and stood silently behind Yi Mu.

When Xiao Hei saw Tan Xiu, he became furious and asked loudly, "Tan Xiu! Are you doing this to the old island master?!"

Facing Xiao Hei's questioning, Tan Xiu was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled with a hint of madness in his smile. "I'm just fighting for what I want. What's wrong with that?"

"I'm not wrong, and I'm worthy of everyone." Although he said this to everyone, his eyes were fixed on Yi Mu.

"What do you think, Junior Brother?"

Yi Mu did not answer, but just looked at him seriously.

Xiao Hei spoke again: "Aren't you afraid that the old island owner will come back and deal with you?"

Tan Xiu looked relieved: "Master, he won't come back."

After these words came out, Yi Mu's eyes finally fluctuated, "What do you mean?"

Tan Xiu chuckled, "Don't worry, Master is safe, he just can't enter the island for the time being."

Xiao Hei suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder you are so reckless, it turns out you had planned it all along."

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, "No! How can you have the ability to stop the old island owner?"

They grew up together, and Xiao Hei knew exactly how capable Tan Xiu was. He didn't have the strength to stop the old island master!

Tan Xiu nodded gently, the smile on his face becoming more meaningful: "I really don't have it, but it doesn't mean I can't ask someone for help."

"Who are you inviting?" Hei turned his gaze to Duan Heng who was standing beside Tan Xiu. "Is it Alliance Leader Duan?"

Duan Heng's strength ranks among the top five on Lotus Island, and he is also Tan Xiu's helper, so Xiao Hei naturally thought of him.

However, Duan Heng quickly waved his hands and denied: "No, no, no, this matter has nothing to do with me. How dare I take action against the old island owner?"

Qingming and Duan Heng's grandparents are good friends. If Duan Heng really dares to attack Qingming, he will definitely be beaten up when he gets home, and maybe even his legs will be broken.
