Transmigrated into a vicious female supporting role, reborn as a hostage to the paranoid male protag

Lekong finally bowed deeply to her, and then watched Chu Xingchen holding her and flying out of the pagoda with the secret guards.

Liaokong stood on the eighth floor, staring at their figures indifferently as they flew into the darkness and disappeared.

After a stick of incense, he personally set the entire eight-story tower on fire. The wooden tower met the pine kerosene and instantly burst into flames.

In a moment, under the ravages of the south wind, the entire tower was engulfed in flames.

Liaokong stood in the firelight, staring at the direction where Su Yingxue left.

The moonlight in the sky was unparalleled. He let his robes burn with layers of flames, looked up at the gentle and bright moon like a jade plate, and said softly, "Jiuyue, you have finally lived up to my trust."

"Jiuyue, I can finally rest assured and stay with you and protect you..."

"Jiuyue······"

With a final whisper, the flames consumed him whole. The blazing flames were particularly dazzling in the night, finally engulfing everything, leaving only a blackened, empty shell.

······

"There's a fire! Help! There's a fire!" Bursts of noise came from the direction near the pagoda. The pagoda was engulfed in flames, and it had turned into a tower of fire.

The servant immediately found the Qin family's servants. This was the most important place in the entire Qin family. Logically, the secret guards guarding it were all top-notch masters. How could there be a fire that burned the entire tower?

When the Qin family servants and guards hurriedly started to put out the fire with water, the fire was so huge that they could not enter or put out the fire.

A thousand-year-old collection of books was burned.

Including the secrets inside the nine-story pagoda, in the end it was burned into a blackened empty shell.

Upon receiving the news, Master Qin Rulan was so angry that he almost slammed the table. He glared at the trembling people kneeling below with wide eyes and shouted, "Why does the Qin family keep a bunch of useless people like you?"

"How could a perfectly good pagoda suddenly catch fire?"

"Where are Master Liaokong and the secret guards in the tower? How can they just watch the tower burn down?"

Qin Rulan was so angry that she smashed everything on the table in the room to pieces. Others might not know the secret of the pagoda, so how could he not know it?

The secret there is related to the decline of the Qin family. Now he has just taken over the task of organizing the plum blossom viewing banquet, and such a big mess has occurred. He will definitely be criticized by the clan members.

Those covetous side branches will definitely make a big fuss about his mistake this time, attacking him for not being able to manage the family, thus threatening his current position.

"Sir, those secret guards and Monk Luokong were all burned to death in the tower. Even the mechanism of the nine-story pagoda was pried open, and the inside was burned empty. Now the whole tower is just an empty shell!" The leading secret guard knelt on the ground and replied with a trembling voice.

"What did you say?" Qin Rulan turned around, her eyes like arrows, staring at the person kneeling on the ground. The Qin family's secrets were seized by someone with ulterior motives, which was something that shook the foundation of the Qin family.

Qin Rulan's eyes were dark and her face was as cold as ice.

This time, the Qin family is in great trouble, and he is also going to be in great trouble.

"Those secret guards and Master Luokong are all dead, their bodies are burnt..." the secret guard said cautiously.

Qin Rulan's face turned cold and his eyes darkened when he heard this. He stood up, walked up to the man, and said coldly, "Since they are all dead, what makes you qualified to live here?"

"Since you are so useless, why don't you go down and join your men..." Qin Rulan coldly drew the sword from her waist, struck the sword in the throat, and chopped off the secret guard's head in an instant before he could react.

The blood of the secret guard splattered all over him, and his hands were also stained with blood. Qin Rulan took out a handkerchief from her bosom with disgust, wiped her hands, and threw it away casually, as if it were something extremely disgusting.

"You, and you, go ahead and investigate." Qin Rulan's eyes were cold, and he said coldly, "If you can't find the cause of the fire, and who else is attacking the tower, why not just do the same as him and go to the underworld to do your job!"

Qin Rulan looked out at the night sky, which was as dark as ink and remained silent for a long time. A storm was coming, and Kyoto would no longer be as peaceful as before.

"Go," Qin Rulan said to his personal guard after a long while, "Send a letter to your father to tell him what happened today."

"Also, have father keep a close eye on the eldest princess."

"If any of the Nangong family's followers make any unusual moves, they will be killed immediately. This will eliminate this scourge forever."

······

After Su Yingxue and Chu Xingchen's secret guards got the list of troops and the wealth, they immediately sent people to the address Kong said.

Time is money. When the jade pendant was handed over, Manager Chen quickly sent people to make arrangements. The Nangong family's spy network was officially activated. Those treasure hiding places and secret agencies belonging to the Nangong family, which were now under the name of the Qin family, seemed to have evaporated overnight.

All the shops, positions, staff, gold and silver became empty shells, and everything that could be taken away was taken away.

The once prosperous Qin family had half of its furniture destroyed quietly and completely overnight.

······

After Su Yingxue, Chu Xingchen and the secret guards changed their night clothes and other equipment, they were thrown into the fire and burned to ashes by the secret guards. Even the suspicious things were disposed of cleanly.

Now Su Yingxue is wearing Qin Xue's disguise, while Chu Xingchen is transformed into her servant.

Chu Xingchen originally came in under the identity of Jiu Xiangshi, so Jiu Xiangshi was disguised by his secret guards and hid in the side room.

What happens tonight is bound to be unpleasant.

Sure enough, the search team came in quickly. They searched every room, checking the number of people and looking for things against the roster.

When they found Chu Xingchen and Su Yingxue, they exchanged a silent look. Fortunately, they had moved their belongings out of the Qin family's area.

Perhaps the young master of the Qin family is still too young, and they have already deployed ahead of him.

The guards searched around and found nothing useful, so they left to search the next room.

After those people left, Su Yingxue silently looked at the deep night outside the window. She had just learned from Chu Xingchen's secret guard that Master Le Kong had passed away, and she felt very melancholy.

The original novel doesn't have this part, but Master Liaokong truly died for her. Zhang Susu felt somewhat sad, feeling like "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me."

Originally, when she read the novel, she thought Su Yingxue was a vicious female supporting character who was hated by everyone, but now from Kong's mouth, she heard another version of the hidden truth.

In this way, Su Yingxue is actually a pitiful person.

As a princess herself, Queen Xuanyuan Luoshan was able to train Su Liyue to be so gentle, well-educated and well-mannered, but she intentionally raised Su Yingxue to be as hateful and despised as before.
