The Psychic Girl

Chapter 33 The Stolen Bones

"That night on Ghost Face Street, I bumped into you by accident, and I haven't had the chance to apologize yet? I'm so sorry..."

Xia Xi bowed his head and apologized to them sincerely.

The maid Qian'er beside her suddenly looked vicious.

"So it's you, the blind woman!"

Thinking of the injuries she suffered that night, she still felt a dull pain.

It seems that the person who hurt her that night was Yan Tianming, the eldest son of Yanjiabao.

Indeed, only a cultivator like Dongli could beat himself like that with just one move.

Qian'er was about to make an attacking gesture but was stopped by her master.

Higashino Kiyomi looked around at the palace maids around her and the imperial guards patrolling back and forth.

This is the venue for His Majesty's birthday banquet. There are many people here and I cannot cause trouble for my father, Prince Liang.

Besides, compared to Qian'er's anger about the night on Ghost Street, what she cares about is the most obscure secret to her.

Qing Ling's mother was born into a wizard family, but her status was humble and she had been wandering outside since childhood.

It was not until she married the then King of Liang as a concubine because of her charming beauty that she settled down.

However, because they had given birth to Qing Ling, an ordinary person, they had nowhere to go, and they, mother and daughter, suffered a lot of cold treatment and exclusion.

Dongli is the Dongli of practitioners. Ordinary people who cannot become practitioners are no different from ants.

Qing Ling's mother understood this deeply.

For the sake of her daughter's future, she finally chose to seek help from the family she had escaped from with great difficulty.

The spirit bones of a child of similar age were transplanted into Qing Ling's body.

They arrested many innocent children for this and failed countless times.

After a year of experimenting like this, Ye Lianxi accidentally appeared in front of them.

A fool who has no ability to resist but possesses heavenly spiritual bones, is simply the perfect prey!

Not only was Ye Lianci's transplant successful, but he actually survived even after his spirit bones were dug out.

But because she was a mentally retarded child at that time and her family happened to find her, they gave up because they were afraid that their whereabouts would be discovered.

Higashino Kiyomi was still pretending to be calm and comforting herself.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

"Oh, it's okay... I was also at fault that night. Madam Yan, is this your first time in Tianshui?"

"I remember it being the first time, but I heard from my family that I came here once with them when I was five years old, and I was almost lost by my third brother."

Five years old?! How can there be such a coincidence in the world?!

"You, were you a fool at that time?"

Qing Ling asked cautiously.

"How do you know that I was stupid before?"

Xia Xi looked at her in shock. Her intuition told her that the woman in front of her was very strange, which made her even more confused.

Cold sweat began to appear on Higashino Kiyomi's forehead.

The little girl who she hadn't had time to kill appeared before her like this, and she had even regained consciousness.

She looked as if she had no recollection of that time.

But could it be a disguise? Or was she really trying to get close to me and take back my spirit bones?

In order to seek help from the family, Higashino Kiyomi's mother sacrificed herself and became a sacrifice for the family.

She would never let anyone take away the spiritual bones that she had worked so hard to obtain.

The more Qing Ling thought about it, the more confused she became, and she even felt like she was having trouble breathing.

His usually arrogant personality turned into inferiority complex in front of Xia Xi.

The heavenly spiritual bone in her body originally belonged to the ordinary woman in front of her!

Xia Xi certainly didn't know what Higashino Kiyomi was thinking at the moment.

I just felt that her changing expression revealed her rejection and hostility towards me.

"Qian'er! Qian'er! I feel a little dizzy! Quick, help me back to my father's tent!"

It was also the first time that the maid Qian'er saw her master with such a panic expression. She thought that she was really ill, so she immediately helped Qing Ling away.

Xia Xi looked at Dongye Qingling's staggering figure and turned his head to frown.

"Why are you leaving now? You haven't even replied to me yet..."

After Qing Ling left, more and more people returned to the camp to rest. The noises of all the noisy greetings gave Xia Xi a headache.

She slipped out quietly by herself.

In the forest garden outside the campsite, Xia Xi found a secluded rockery and simply sat down to rest in the narrow hollowed-out interior of the rock.

This place is secluded and difficult to be discovered by passers-by, so it is much more leisurely and quiet.

Who would have thought that not long after she sat down to rest, she could hear footsteps outside again.

A man dressed in eunuch's clothes and looking panicked was running towards here in a panic.

Not far behind him, he could hear the shouting of a group of people chasing each other, which sounded particularly harsh in this quiet corner of the garden.

"Oh no! Oh no! How could I be discovered so quickly? I haven't even found the magic circle yet! Where can I hide?"

"Here, come in quickly, there's room for people to hide here!"

Xia Xi poked his little head out from the hollow rockery and looked down.

"Who? Who's talking?!"

She looked down, tapped the man on the head with her hand, and smiled brightly.

……

"What a bunch of losers! If we lose him, we'll all lose our heads!"

The leading captain of the Royal Guards wore black armor and had a pair of strange triangular eyes.

He was originally responsible for the safety of His Majesty's birthday party, but he never expected that the Second Prince of Xiliang, who was under house arrest in the palace, would escape to the hunting ground on the occasion of His Majesty's birthday.

He followed her all the way to the garden and noticed Xia Xi standing in front of the rockery at first sight.

"You are the daughter of that prince or minister? Why are you here?"

Xia Xi swallowed nervously.

"I, I am the wife of Yan Tianming from Yanjiabao! Are you looking for someone?

I just saw a man in palace clothes running over there in a panic!"

Xia Xi pointed in a random direction and spoke righteously.

After looking at Xia Xi, the man with triangular eyes nodded suspiciously.

So proactive! He hasn't even asked yet?

"Thank you, ma'am! It's not safe here. Ma'am, please return to the camp quickly so that the Royal Guards can protect you. We have official business to attend to! Goodbye!

You guys! Hurry up and chase them!"

He slapped the guards around him one by one. Triangle Eyes shouted with his teeth bared.

Then, a group of guards raised their spears in unison and chased in the direction Xia Xi pointed.

The creaking sound of iron-shod shoes died away in the garden.

"It's okay, they're all gone."

Only when the voice faded away did Xia Xi breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why are you helping me? How come you are lying without blushing?"

The man in eunuch's clothes came out from the rockery.

He was about twenty years old, with fair skin set off by pale pink lips and thick eyebrows rebelliously raised slightly. The most surprising thing was that under his long and slightly curled eyelashes, he had a pair of heterochromatic eyes, and his off-white right eye glowed with a secret luster.

Facing his face getting closer and closer, the inquiring gaze made Xia Xi feel uneasy.

Did I save the wrong person?

Doesn't he look like a servant being bullied by a vicious master?

right?
