Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

Capital City, Imperial Prefecture.

"Please wait here for a moment. The Imperial Master is preparing for the sacrificial ceremony in a few days. I will go and inform him."

Si Huangjing nodded and waved his hand to let the maid go.

After the door closed, Si Huangjing took a deep breath and turned to look at the two people who were not panicking at all. He couldn't help but said angrily, "You actually dared to follow me to the Imperial Master's Mansion. Aren't you afraid that I will ambush you and capture you?"

Shen Qiao tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Try it."

Si Huangjing looked at her with a complicated expression. After a moment, he snorted coldly and sat down. "Since you saved people at the city gate, I will temporarily wait and see and give you a chance."

Shen Qiao smiled and didn't respond.

The room suddenly fell silent. Neither the master nor the disciple were talkative, but Si Huangjing was clearly unused to this atmosphere, so he started talking again, "Are you...really a cultivator?"

"Isn't it similar?"

Si Huangjing hesitated to speak, then he crossed his legs with a sigh, folded his arms around himself and leaned back in his chair. "Don't you cultivators all have an air of immortality and a way of being detached from the mundane world? You two... it's hard to say."

He took a look at the two people's inconspicuous attire, especially the young and playful girl who was wearing such a gray tight-sleeved dress. Her hair was not braided, but just tied up casually with a headband, dressed like a tomboy.

"Heh." Shen Qiao looked at his complicated expression with interest.

"Not all people have to look the same. You're a prince, but I don't see you wearing gold and silver, or surrounded by attendants."

Upon hearing this, Si Huangjing actually became interested. "You may be young, but you see things clearly. If you hadn't killed Master Wen, I might have considered making you my friend."

Shen Qiao chuckled and shook his head, "That's really a blessing."

Si Huangjing didn't hear the insults. When Shen Qiao spoke, he unconsciously supported his face with one hand and looked at her sideways. His gaze fell on her eyes with a faint smile, and he was mesmerized by her.

He was born into a royal family, and although he wasn't known for his hospitality, no one dared to neglect him. If an ordinary woman were addressed by him like this, no matter how high or low, she would have complimented him to leave a good impression.

This girl was unique. Not only did she not feel awkward because of his royal title, she even dared to push him against the wall in front of so many people.

This is too courageous.

The first time we met... Could it be that this girl is...

Si Huangjing thought about it, covered his mouth with one hand, and coughed to the side as if to cover it up. His voice was a little unclear, "Yes, I don't want to be friends with you."

This nonsensical sentence caused Shen Qiao to glance at him in confusion.

"If I hadn't just read his memory, I would have suspected that this man was picked up by that dog emperor."

"Fools have their own luck," Wang You replied calmly.

"If he were smarter, he wouldn't live so carefree."

Shen Qiao nodded in agreement.

The three of them were lost in their own thoughts when the maid who had delivered the message came in. She bowed slightly, then spoke apologetically, "The Imperial Master is very busy today and may not be able to spare the time to see you. However, he has said that if you two wish to see him, please leave your address. He will personally visit you after the ceremony tomorrow."

Still have to wait until tomorrow?

Shen Qiao stood up and asked, "Where is your master now?"

Seeing her get up, the maid anxiously tried to stop her, "Do you want to go look for him? No, he locks himself in a secret room during the annual sacrificial ceremony. Even if you go to look for him, you won't be able to open the door."

"Who said I was going to knock on the door?" Shen Qiao snorted and looked at the maid, a gleam in his eyes.

"Just tell me where he is."

The maid was startled by her eyes, her mind went blank for a moment, and then she said, "In the side room of the west courtyard..."

"Thank you." Shen Qiao patted her shoulder as he passed by her. When the maid came to her senses, Shen Qiao was gone.

Si Huangjing didn't understand what she did at all. He just watched Shen Qiao stand up and leave, so he subconsciously stood up and wanted to follow. But halfway, he stopped and looked at Wang You, who had no intention of moving at all.

"Hey, you're not going?"

Wang You ignored him.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Si Huangjing didn't want to ask any more questions and wanted to chase after him.

"return."

When the low voice reached his ears, Si Huangjing felt a buzzing in his head. He pulled his legs back uncontrollably and sat down on the chair again.

The waitress who had just come back to her senses from Shen Qiao's soul magic was so frightened by the strange scene that her legs went weak and she fell backwards to the ground with a pale face.

She desperately shrank back and moved, looking in horror at the handsome man sitting upright in the chair. He had always been a person with little presence, but the moment he spoke, he sent a chill down her spine.

If you disobey... you will die.

She thought fearfully, her eyes full of panic.

Wang You didn't look at her, but just sat there calmly, as if waiting for someone to show up.

"It seems that you don't care much about your apprentice."

A middle-aged man's voice rang out, and a figure gradually appeared outside the room. After the voice, the waitress suddenly began to convulse for no apparent reason, until she collapsed to the ground with a face full of pain and died.

"Or are you confident that she can be as lucky as before and kill the Imperial Master as well?"

The man who was speaking finally stood at the door. The hem of his noble yellow robe swept past the door. As he walked in, the door closed by itself.

"That's her business."

Wang You's calm answer made Si Huangxu laugh briefly. He walked over without any hesitation and sat in the seat next to Wang You.

"It doesn't matter. Whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me." As he said this, he raised his finger and moved it. The teapot floated up by itself and added tea to Wang You. He also poured a cup for himself.

"It's just a pity." He didn't care whether Wang Youli paid attention to him or not, he just talked to himself.

"I originally wanted to rush over to see the scene of your deep master-disciple love, but now that I see it, I think I was worrying too much."

Wang You still didn't respond to him, like a spectator watching his one-man show.

"But... I still don't believe she can kill Wen Xiaotong by herself. You must have helped her." He took a sip of tea from the teacup.

"So what?" Wang You picked up his cup of tea, flipped his fingers, and poured the tea on the ground.

"Even if she didn't kill them all, she could have killed Song Shi alone."

Si Huangxu narrowed his eyes dangerously as he looked at the tea that had spilled on the ground. "My patience is limited."

"Your life is also limited."

"Wang You." Si Huangxu spoke with forbearance.

"Do you really think that with your current state, I can't catch you and your disciple?"
