After the whole family went crazy and criticized the movie "Read My Mind", the heroine

Beijing.

Xue Jing sat by the window in her boudoir, holding a cup of tea in her hand, but looking out the window with empty eyes.

The willow branches outside the window swayed in the wind, but her heart was calm. After learning that Chen Qiyu had defeated Chen Yunling, her mood was like being shrouded by dark clouds, so heavy that she could hardly breathe.

"Jing'er, what's wrong with you?" Lin Fu pushed the door open gently, and when he saw his daughter like this, he sighed in his heart.

She walked up to Xue Jing and patted her shoulder gently.

Xue Jing came back to her senses and forced a smile: "Mom, I'm fine. I'm just a little nervous thinking about the upcoming elimination match."

Lin Fu frowned slightly, she knew her daughter's thoughts went far beyond that.

She gently held Xue Jing's hand and said softly, "Jing'er, you don't have to worry about Chen Qiyu. Although he defeated Chen Yunling, he is not your opponent. Your cultivation and skills are both better than his. As long as you keep a normal mind, you will be able to win easily."

Xue Jing didn't look relaxed when she heard this. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then finally raised her head with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Mother, I know my own strength. But what I'm worried about is not the competition itself."

Lin Fu looked at his daughter in surprise and asked puzzledly, "Then what are you worried about?"

She heard from her subordinates about the scene where Chen Qiyu defeated Chen Yunling, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy: "I'm worried that Chen Qiyu didn't win the game by his real strength, but used some despicable means."

This worry was like a dark cloud, always hanging over her heart.

Seeing her daughter like this, Lin Fu understood something. She walked over to Xue Jing and gently held her hand: "Jing'er, are you sure Chen Qiyu won by trickery?"

Xue Jing raised her head, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she finally nodded: "Mother, according to Chen Qiyu's true strength, it is difficult for him to defeat Chen Yunling. If he repeats his old tricks in the next elimination match, how should I deal with it?"

Lin Fu frowned slightly when she heard this, but her tone remained firm: "Jing'er, you don't have to worry. Mother will always be by your side to support you and protect you. If Chen Qiyu really used despicable means, mother will make her pay the price."

Xue Jing's anxiety was slightly relieved after hearing her mother's promise. But she still couldn't help asking, "Mother, how can we guard against Chen Qiyu?"

Lin Fu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "First of all, you have to stay calm and clear-headed. During the competition, I will secretly send people to observe Chen Qiyu's whereabouts and actions. If we find that he is suspicious, we will take timely measures."

Xue Jing nodded, and her worries were slightly relieved.

Lin Fu walked out of the room with a serious look on his face.

She stood in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

She understood that her daughter Xue Jing's concerns about Chen Qiyu were not groundless.

In order to ensure Xue Jing's safety in the next elimination round, she decided to take some action.

Lin Fu returned to his study and secretly gathered a group of trusted assassins.

She said in a deep voice: "I need you to test Chen Qiyu's true strength. Remember, don't hurt his life, just find out his background."

The assassins took their orders and quickly disappeared into the night.

At this time, Chen Qiyu was happily drinking in the restaurant. He had just played a trick on Liu Wenjin and was in a good mood, so he invited a few friends to celebrate together. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very warm.

At this moment, a group of dark figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the restaurant. They were dressed in black, with veils covering their faces and sharp daggers in their hands. Chen Qiyu noticed something was wrong and immediately stood up, looking at the uninvited guests warily.

"Who are you? How dare you act wildly here!" Chen Qiyu shouted coldly.

The leading assassin chuckled and said in a hoarse voice: "Chen Qiyu, we are here on orders to take your life!"

Before he finished speaking, the assassins rushed towards Chen Qiyu like hungry wolves.

Amid the flashing of swords and sabers, Chen Qiyu's figure was elusive, and the long sword in his hand was like a spirit snake emerging from a cave, sometimes sweeping across the enemy, sometimes stabbing the vital points.

Every time the sword was swung, there was an ear-piercing sound of metal collision and sparks flew.

Although the assassins were well-trained, they were no match for Chen Qiyu's superb swordsmanship.

They could only rely on their numerical advantage and launch continuous fierce attacks in an attempt to exhaust Chen Qiyu's physical strength.

However, Chen Qiyu became more and more courageous as the battle went on. His sword skills became more and more fierce, and every swing of the sword was as powerful as thunder.

The assassins fell before her, and blood flowed like a river.

The battle spread from the top of the restaurant to the bottom, the tables and chairs were chopped to pieces, the cups and plates were smashed to pieces. The whole restaurant was in a mess, as if it had experienced a catastrophe.

Finally, under Chen Qiyu's fierce sword attack, the leading assassin was pierced through the heart and fell to the ground.

The other assassins saw this and knew that the situation was hopeless, so they fled in all directions.

Chen Qiyu panted heavily, looking at the corpses and blood on the ground, and a chill surged in her heart. She knew that these assassins were not ordinary criminals, but were deliberately sent to test or assassinate her.

He squatted down and carefully examined the body of the leading assassin.

Suddenly, he noticed a trace of black blood flowing from the corner of the assassin's mouth.

He had an idea and reached out to feel around the assassin's collar. Sure enough, there was a small, delicate cloth bag sewn inside the assassin's collar, which contained some black powder.

"This is... poison!" Chen Qiyu exclaimed. She realized that these assassins chose to commit suicide by taking poison when their mission failed, so as not to reveal the mastermind behind it.

Chen Qiyu stood up, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

The moonlight was dim and the night wind was cool. Lin Fu stood in front of the window of the study, looking deep into the distance. Her heart was filled with anger and resentment, as if a ball of fire was burning.

The assassins she sent out tried to test Chen Qiyu's strength, but were defeated one by one by Chen Qiyu. This news was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard. She thought her plan was flawless, but she didn't expect Chen Qiyu's strength to be so strong.

"A bunch of rubbish!" Lin Fu cursed in a low voice, her voice full of anger and disappointment. She turned and walked back to the desk, sat down, and clenched her fists, as if trying to calm her inner anger.

At this moment, the door of the study was gently pushed open, and several assassins walked in tremblingly with their heads down. Their faces were full of fear and anxiety, as if they knew what kind of punishment they would face next.

"Madam, we..." An assassin stammered, not knowing how to continue.

Lin Fu glanced at them coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "You don't have to say anything, I know everything. A bunch of rubbish, you can't even deal with Chen Qiyu, what are you reporting to me?"
