The legendary cake cutter [Comprehensive martial arts]

The current situation is somewhat deadlocked.

Huo Xiu didn't dare to run away, and Miao Qi and the others didn't dare to act rashly. They really killed Huo Xiu and cut off the glimmer of life that might still exist.

As time passed, everyone's mood became heavier and heavier.

Miao Qi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Ximen Chuuxue: "Ximen, go and look behind the door, I just vaguely noticed something strange, maybe your father followed in."

To be honest, Miao Qi was not sure if there was anyone behind that door.

He did feel a little strange, but...how should I put it?

He didn't rely on his five senses or internal strength to clearly detect any movement, but, just when he walked past that door, a strange feeling suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart.

This is most likely just Miao Qi's illusion.

Not necessarily accurate.

After receiving the sound transmission, Ximen Chuuxue nodded at Miao Qi, turned around and walked towards the wooden door.

Others also saw Miao Qi's voice transmission to Ximen Chuuxue.

Although they didn't know exactly what Miao Qi had said to Ximen Chuuxue, but at such a time, making such actions and reactions would easily make everyone have certain thoughts.

Could it be that they have other ways to get out of here?

Huo Xiu frowned, and the expression on his face was not so confident.

His layout has been disrupted countless times by Miao Qi, so this time, he is not completely sure whether there will be no flaws in this seemingly flawless deadlock.

Ximen Chuuxue had already walked in front of the half-closed wooden door.

Under everyone's nervous and expectant gaze, he slowly raised his arms, and pushed open the door little by little.

Behind the door, there was still the dark corridor.

But through the peripheral light from the secret room, everyone can see that in the middle of the corridor, there is a man in white who cannot see his face clearly.

Miao Qi couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.

"Simon, ask your father if he can open the passage above."

While transmitting the sound to Ximen Chuuxue, he adjusted his posture with ease, and moved the launch port of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle from Huo Xiu's chest to his crotch with a wicked sense of humor.

Miao Qi's action shocked Huo Xiu immediately.

Seeing that Miao Qi still had the leisure to scare Huo Xiu, because of the appearance of the white-clothed man, Lu Xiaofeng and the others, who were in a tangle and didn't know whether to be happy or to be on guard, immediately felt relieved.

Obviously, the man in white is not an enemy but a friend.

Ximen Chuuxue quickly responded.

He didn't transmit the sound, but replied to Miao Qi in public: "Yes."

Although I don't know what exactly Miao Qi and Ximen Chuuxue communicated with the white-clothed man who suddenly appeared, but this 'yes' is obviously good news.

Well, at least for Lu Xiaofeng and the others, it's good news.

"In that case." The smile on Miao Qi's face became brighter, and the bloodless Huo Xiu said, "Then you can die in peace."

After saying that, he flipped the switch of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle without hesitation.

The faint, almost inaudible 'click' fell on Huo Xiu's ears, but it was like the deafening sound of an evening drum, which made his eyes go dark and he passed out on the spot.

"biubiubiu~"

Miao Qi held up the box that didn't have any hidden weapons fired after starting it, and swept it twice at Huo Xiu who was unconscious on the ground.

Lu Xiaofeng and the others looked confused: "..."

Withdrawing her arms, Miao Qi put on a rather cool pose, and smiled proudly at Lu Xiaofeng and the others: "How about it, my trick is pretty good."

No one answered.

But everyone's expressions are quite wonderful.

To be honest, it wasn't just Huo Xiu who was tricked by Miao Qi, even Lu Xiaofeng and the others didn't expect that what Miao Qi was holding was just an empty box.

It was so unexpected.

Who would have thought that Miao Qi, who usually seems to be the most scheming, could fool everyone and frighten the wily Huo Xiu out of his wits with a flashy empty box?

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead, and the new ones replace the old ones."

Yan Tieshan suddenly read a poem.

Dugu Yihe nodded thoughtfully, and while decisively killing Huo Xiu's life with an ingot of broken silver, he sighed: "After this matter is completely over, I should also resign as the head of the sect, don't worry. old age."

In the past, he always felt that Su Shaoying was too young, not stable enough and mature enough to take on the burden of being the head of the house.

But now, he has changed his mind.

Steadiness is indeed a good thing, but the unique flexibility and maneuverability of young people can often play an even more unexpected role.

Under Su Shaoying's governance, the Emei faction may be able to develop even more.

After dealing with Huo Xiu, everyone realized that the man in white who was standing in the corridor just now had disappeared.

Looking at the expressionless Ximen Chuuxue, Lu Xiaofeng resolutely turned his mind on Miao Qi.

"Ah Qi, who was that person just now?"

"Hmm." Miao Qi blinked her eyes, pretended to be stupid and said in a daze, "Who is that person?"

This means that I don’t want to say it, or it’s inconvenient to say it.

"Why don't you make it so mysterious?"

Lu Xiaofeng muttered something in a low voice, but didn't chase Miao Qi to ask questions.

Following the original path, the group walked out of the small building unimpeded.

When the morning sun dappled and sprinkled on them through the dense branches and leaves, everyone realized that it turned out that a whole night had passed.

Having settled a major case, Lu Xiaofeng was very happy.

After leaving Yan Tieshan and Dugu Yihe at the gate of Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, he took Miao Qi and the others to the biggest and best restaurant in the city, and had a hearty drink.

Even Ximen Chuuxue took a few shallow drinks to save face.

The case of the Jinpeng Dynasty had indeed brought a lot of pressure to everyone, and it was indeed a very fortunate thing to be able to settle it so smoothly.

But after the joy, Lu Xiaofeng's mood went down again.

Huo Xiu... was also his friend.

Being used and betrayed by friends was a big blow to Lu Xiaofeng who always valued friendship.

For Lu Xiaofeng, when he was in a good mood, he had to drink to celebrate, and when he was in a bad mood, he had to drink to soothe his worries.

His drinking posture is very wild.

It's okay to blow directly on the bottle.

At the beginning, Miao Qi could still keep up with Lu Xiaofeng's rhythm, but after two or three bottles, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Putting down the wine bottle resentfully, Miao Qi bent her elbow, lightly poked Hua Manlou beside her, and whispered, "Brother Hua, should we stop it?"

Alcohol is a good thing, but no matter how good it is, drinking too much can hurt your health.

Hua Manlou shook his head and sighed, "Let him go."

For some emotions, it is better to vent them than to hold them in your heart.

Furthermore, Hua Manlou also believed that Lu Xiaofeng would have a degree in his heart and know when enough is enough.

At this time, several people at the table were full of wine and food.

Thinking that everyone stayed up all night without rest, Hua Manlou said to Miao Qi and Ximen Chuuxue: "You two go back to the inn to rest first, I'll just stay here with him."

"This--"

Miao Qi originally wanted to decline a few words, but saw Ximen Chuuxue on the other side, who had already stood up very simply.

"Let's go."

After greeting Miao Qi, Ximen Chuuxue took the lead and walked downstairs.

After receiving some kind of signal from Ximen Chuuxue's actions, Miao Qi hurriedly stood up too, said goodbye to Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, and quickly chased after her.

The two walked out of the restaurant one after the other, and then walked around to a quiet corner.

After making sure that no one around could hear their conversation, Ximen Chuuxue said: "When this matter is completely over, you will follow me to live in Wanmei Villa for a while."

"Eh?"

Miao Qi was stunned for a while, then hesitated, "Is it your father..."

Are you still going to continue to trouble him?

Ximen Chuuxue nodded silently.

Before, when Yu Luocha left, he once said a word to him, clearly expressing the meaning of "is bound to win" to Miao Qi.

That's why Ximen Chuuxue made this suggestion.

At least, in front of him, Yu Luocha would still have some scruples.

"I'll go." Couldn't help but rolled her eyes towards the sky, Miao Qi muttered with a depressed face, "Why is he still staring at me?"

Ximen Chuuxue actually didn't want to understand this question.

Miao Qi is a very interesting person, but this alone should not be enough to make Yu Luocha so interested in him.

After complaining, Miao Qi refused Ximen Chuuxue's invitation.

Because even with the help of Ximen Chuuxue, it would not be able to solve Yu Luocha's problem, at most it would be able to delay for a while.

It's impossible for him to live in Wanmei Villa all his life.

Furthermore, he could also see that the relationship between Ximen Chuuxue and Yu Luocha was not close, and he didn't want to cause the relationship between the father and son to become more rigid because of himself.

The trouble should end it.

Since Yu Luocha is targeting him, let him handle it alone.

It could be seen that Miao Qi had really made up his mind, Ximen Chuuxue didn't want to persuade her anymore.

He was not a person who was good at words.

After thinking for a while, Ximen Chuuxue suddenly took off the jade pendant from his waist and put it in Miao Qi's hands.

"If there is anything, you can take it to Hefangzhai."

Hefangzhai... Hefangzhai? !

Miao Qi's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't hide his excitement and asked: "The Hefangzhai that makes super delicious cakes is also the property of Wanmei Villa?"

"……Um."

Eyeballs rolled around quickly, Miao Qi took the jade pendant, and said to Ximen Chuuxue with a courteous face: "I have a unique pastry recipe here, are you interested in buying it?"

In fact, it is a wiser choice to buy out the recipe than to open a pastry shop by yourself.

Miao Qi had this idea a long time ago, but she couldn't find a reliable way out, so she put it on hold.

Now, after suddenly learning that Hefangzhai, which is very famous and said to have branches all over the country, is actually owned by Wanmei Villa, he subconsciously asked this question out of his mouth.

To his friends, Ximen Chuuxue has always been very generous.

As long as the request is not too excessive, he will rarely refuse.

So, after Miao Qi raised this question, he didn't even think about it, so he decided to nod in response.

"and many more!"

Seeing Ximen Chuuxue's intentions, Miao Qi hurriedly raised her hand, made a gesture of card, and said, "There is a saying in your Central Plains that you tell your brothers to settle accounts clearly. Although we are friends, I will definitely not take advantage of you." won't take it."

Although Miao Qi doesn't mind taking advantage of her friends once in a while, she still chooses to stick to her principles when it comes to serious matters.

It's not shameful to walk away from a relationship, but at least you have to do it aboveboard.

"How about this, I'll take the prescription myself and talk to the people in Hefangzhai. If they like my prescription, you, the boss, will give me more trouble."

In other words, if people don't like it, then this matter will be brought down.

"it is good."

A smile flashed across Ximen Chuuxue's eyes, and he nodded in response.

Although he didn't mind giving convenience to his friends, Miao Qi's attitude made him appreciate it even more.
