Shengjing City and dense forests on the outskirts of Beijing.

The forest was densely covered with leaves, and only sparse, mottled light leaked through the gaps between the branches and leaves. It was dim and quiet.

Leng Shuang lay quietly on a tree. She was anxious and uneasy, with sweat on her palms. The other side had nearly twenty masters, but they only had two. Even if the young lady was good at light skills, she had no chance of winning!

She felt a little regretful. She should have knocked the young lady out and hidden her directly when she was in the city just now, instead of riding her horse slowly and leading those people to the forest.

Leng Shuang looked up at the big tree not far away, where Xie Qingli was sitting leisurely on a branch. She sighed secretly, forget it, she would fight for her life and carve out a way for the young lady to survive!

Xie Qingli was playing with the silver needle in her hand, thinking secretly in her heart, after returning to Shengjing City, except for some minor frictions with those people in the Marquis' Mansion, she did not make any enemies. But someone sent these masters to hunt her down. It must be the person who stole the child that year!

She felt a little excited in her heart. Since the other party couldn't hold back first, he would definitely leave some clues. Then she would have a chance to find out the truth of that year!

"Sand~sand~sand~"

A light sound of footsteps approached from a distance.

Xie Qingli withdrew her thoughts, held her breath, and was on guard. She stared at the ground with sharp eyes, holding the poisoned silver needle in her hand, ready to strike.

Gradually, the group of killers tiptoed into Xie Qingli's sight. They concentrated on searching every tuft of grass and every tree pit, but no one looked up.

Xie Qingli's red lips curled up slightly, and a hint of playfulness flashed in her bright eyes. These people must have thought she was just an ordinary rich girl, not knowing that she knew martial arts. However, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger was quite interesting. She was determined to keep this secret well.

Therefore, all these killers under your feet must die!!!

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~"

Xie Qingli moved as fast as lightning. In just a few breaths, he had shot out seven or eight silver needles.

When the killers were hit by the needle, they thought they were just bitten by mosquitoes, but before they could take two more steps, they fell to the ground one after another.

The other killers noticed something unusual and looked around in panic, but didn't see anyone. Finally, someone looked up and saw a woman standing on a high tree branch.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, graceful, and had a cold expression. She was looking down on them coldly, like the noble and inviolable Nine Immortals!

The killers were stunned!

Xie Qingli flew down from the tree gracefully. She didn't bring any weapons with her today, so she casually drew the whip from her waist.

Before her feet touched the ground, she had already swung the whip and lashed it fiercely at the face of a killer.

Her eyes were like sharp swords, her moves were as swift as lightning, and her movements were as agile as a snake. Although it was just an ordinary horsewhip, every move she made revealed a murderous aura that was intimidating.

The killers finally came to their senses. This was not the Queen Mother of the West, but the God of Death in Hell!

They all waved their weapons and rushed towards Xie Qingli.

When Leng Shuang on the tree saw this scene, her heart was in her throat. She drew the soft sword at her waist, quickly swooped down from the tree, and attacked the killers directly on the back.

The killers then remembered that there were two women who had teased them all the way, a young lady and a maid, and they both knew martial arts. It was simply a weird sight!

Several killers immediately withdrew and fought with Leng Shuang.

Since her rebirth, Xie Qingli had never had such a satisfying fight as today. She swung the whip in her hand with great force. Those people were using short knives similar to deer antlers and could not get close to Xie Qingli at all.

Xie Qingli became more and more excited as the beating went on. Like a naughty cheetah, she was not in a hurry to enjoy her prey. Instead, she whipped the killers until they were covered with bruises, and then she casually threw out a silver needle to send the killers to meet the King of Hell.

Xie Qingli was in a good mood, but the killers were trembling with fear, and one even took the opportunity to escape deep into the woods.

Xie Qingli killed the killer in front of her with one needle. She curled her lips into a smile and caught up with the fish that had escaped the net with a few leaps.

She flicked the whip lightly, tightly wrapping it around the killer, and with a strong throw, she broke his neck and threw his body several feet away.

While Leng Shuang was dealing with the killers who were besieging her, she was also worried about Xie Qingli's safety. When she saw Xie Qingli taking care of all the killers with swift movements, Leng Shuang was shocked. The young lady turned out to be such a peerless master!

She felt an urge to bow down to Xie Qingli.

Just when Leng Shuang was distracted, Xie Qingli had already flown over. She raised her hand slightly, and several silver needles flew out. The remaining killers fell to the ground and died instantly.

The battle is over!

Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, Leng Shuang felt a sense of unreality. She asked softly, "Miss, what should we do with these corpses?"

Xie Qingli said unconcernedly, "Their masters will collect their bodies, so we don't need to deal with them!"

She walked among the corpses, stopped and picked up a weapon used by the killer and asked, "Have you seen this kind of weapon?"

Leng Shuang shook her head and frowned, saying, "I've heard that there's a sect in the martial arts world that specializes in using the Mandarin Duck Axe, but I've never seen it in person."

Xie Qingli nodded slightly.

Suddenly, she discovered a plum blossom-shaped tattoo on the back of the neck of a corpse. She looked at several corpses in succession and found the same tattoo on all of them.

She quickly cut off a piece of tattooed flesh, tore off a piece of cloth from the corpse to wrap it up, and handed it to Leng Shuang along with the weapon.

After doing all this, Xie Qingli raised her head slightly. Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, she could see that the sun was already setting. She looked down at her bloodstained clothes and frowned. She knew she couldn't go back home like this.

Leng Shuang had already led the horse over, and the two of them quickly jumped on the horse and galloped towards Shengjing City.

……

Jing'an Marquis Mansion, Yaofang Pavilion.

Xie Qingyao was focused, threading a needle in front of an embroidery frame. A lifelike peacock was already taking shape. She'd been feeling down the past few days and had missed several needlework classes. Today, she set out to catch up and make up for her shortcomings.

Xie Qingyao regained her dream of becoming the "No. 1 in Shengjing". Although her identity as the eldest daughter of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion was taken away, she unexpectedly obtained a secret weapon, Xie Qingrou. As long as she could get all of Xie Qingrou's secrets out, she could make plans in advance and help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince win the treasure. In that case, who could compete with her for the position of Queen?

As for the third prince, she would never let him stand in Chu Yuncang's way!

Xie Qingyao stroked the gorgeous peacock and secretly vowed in her heart that what she would embroider in the future would be the noble phoenix!

"Miss...Miss, Miss, the word is spreading on the street that the Third Prince's Mansion and the Fourth Prince's Mansion have been surrounded by the Imperial Guards!" Xiao Tao's impatient voice came from the door.

"What?" Xie Qingyao was shocked when she heard that. In a panic, the embroidery needle in her hand pierced her finger. A drop of blood spread on Peacock's face, and a beautiful embroidery was ruined.

Xiao Tao didn't know why Xie Qingyao was so surprised. Seeing Xie Qingyao's angry face, her heart was pounding like a drum.

Under Xie Qingyao's gaze, she stammered and repeated what she had just said.

Xie Qingyao's heart, which had just been a little excited, instantly plummeted. The Third Prince's mansion was surrounded by the Imperial Guards. If the Imperial Guards were dispatched, the Third Prince must have committed a serious crime. If that was the case, how could he possibly become the future emperor?

Xie Qingyao was so angry that she overturned the embroidery shed with a palm. She had actually been played around by Xie Qingrou like this. Not only did she believe her lies, she even sent people to help her. How stupid!!!
