After being read by the mind, my apprentice wanted to rebel

Xie Qijun raised his head, his eyes firm and unyielding. He said coldly: "Chen Qingqing, don't be too proud! I will not easily succumb to your threats. Even if I die here, I will not bow to you!"

After hearing this, Chen Qingqing clenched her fists angrily and said through gritted teeth: "Okay, you still dare to be stubborn! Then I'll see how long you can hold on. Wait until I torture you to pieces, and see if you can still maintain this backbone!" As she spoke, she showed a ferocious smile.

Chen Qingqing became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice gradually became sharp and piercing: "I really want to cripple you right now, so that you will never be able to break free from my control! Hahahaha..." She laughed wildly, and her laughter echoed throughout the Chen Mansion, making people feel creepy.

Xie Qijun's heart suddenly sank, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. He would rather die than let this woman touch him.

Her presence was an unbearable torture for him, causing him immense pain and disgust. And now, she was actually going to touch him? No! He would never allow such a thing to happen.

"My fellow immortal, I think it would be better for you to go back and see your mother. She is in critical condition now, and you may never see her again." Qi Miao's voice suddenly sounded, breaking the weird and depressing atmosphere.

Chen Qingqing turned her head in anger, staring at Qi Miao with a sharp gaze. Her heart was filled with resentment towards this hateful man. Like Xie Qijun, he made her feel extremely disgusted.

Chen Qingqing had originally planned to deal with Qi Miao later, but now she slowly walked towards Qi Miao, with an angry glint in her eyes, "If you curse my mother again, I will kill you first."

"You should know that as the eldest brother of Tianji Sect, I can predict some things. Your mother has been poisoned. If you don't go there now, it will be too late."

In Chen Qingqing's heart, these words pierced her like a sharp arrow. A flash of pain and struggle flashed across her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference and determination. She knew that in this world, she could care less about anyone, be fearless, and face all difficulties and challenges alone. However, her mother was her only weakness, the emotional bond she could not sever.

Her mother, once gentle and kind, now frail and sick, was the most important person in her life. Her mother, once her shelter and now her only one to rely on, was the most precious person in her life. Her mother, once her everything, now a burden, was the most painful memory in her life.

Xie Qijun and Qi Miao, the two men she once hated with all her heart, were now her prisoners. Their fate was no longer in her own hands, but entirely dependent on her decision. She could choose to let them live, or to let them die. She could choose to make them suffer, or to make them happy. She could choose to make them disappear forever, or to let them live forever in her memory.

So she glared at Xie Qijun and Qi Miao, her eyes full of indifference and contempt, and turned away.

After everyone else had left, Xie Qijun said, "I didn't expect you to have the potential to become a charlatan."

"If you are in the mood to cleanse me, you might as well think about how to escape. That woman will not let us go," Qi Miao said anxiously. He was really unlucky. He thought it was a simple mission to pick up someone, but it ended up being full of twists and turns and suffering.

That stupid woman thought that she could trap him here by just using a chain to tightly bind his spiritual power. It was ridiculous.

Because Qi Miao was beside him, Xie Qijun had to secretly use his magic power to slowly break the chain.

Finally, he stood up easily in Qi Miao's surprised eyes.

Qi Miao looked at Xie Qijun, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion. He, like himself, had his spiritual power locked up. How could he break the chains so easily? It was impossible for a chain to look at people, right? "Did your master give you a treasure?"

"Of course," Xie Qijun couldn't possibly admit that he used magic, and Qi Miao thought it was better for him.

It was another day of envy and jealousy. Qi Miao couldn't help but think about the possibility of his own "defection" again. It was simply too tempting.

Seeing that Xie Qijun hadn't helped him untie it yet, Qi Miao became anxious, "Hey, hurry up and untie me too, don't dawdle, it will be difficult for us to escape if someone comes later."

Xie Qijun looked at the man before him and couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness. This man was nothing but a burden. Keeping him around would undoubtedly cause him trouble. However, if he really left this guy here, Lin Xian'er would definitely nag him for a long time, and he would have to come back to rescue him. This made Xie Qijun feel very conflicted.

After all, they had been together for so long, and Qi Miao could tell what Xie Qijun was thinking at a glance. This damn kid actually wanted to abandon me and run away alone. He was simply courting death! Qi Miao's heart was burning with anger, and he decided to teach Xie Qijun a profound lesson.

"If you dare to abandon me, I will immediately use my magic loudspeaker to spread the news everywhere. Not only Lin Xian'er, but also your uncles, brothers, brothers, and sisters will all know about your bad behavior and strongly condemn you. And Lin Xian'er will definitely regret her original choice of becoming the master of a bastard like you," Qi Miao said coldly, with a hint of threat in his eyes.

When Xie Qijun heard this, he felt a chill. He knew that Qi Miao was not joking, but would really do it.

Intellectually, he told himself that he shouldn't care about Lin Xian'er's thoughts. After all, everyone has their own independent thoughts and feelings, and he couldn't control her emotions and thoughts. However, emotionally, he couldn't stand her look of disgust and disappointment.

Whenever Lin Xian'er showed a hint of dissatisfaction or disappointment, his heart felt like it was being pricked by needles. He understood that this was a manifestation of his emotional dependence on her and his desire for recognition. He hoped to be her ideal partner and make her feel happy and satisfied.

You are so cruel! Xie Qijun took a deep breath and concentrated all his strength on the Dragon Roar Sword. He felt the power of the dragon contained in the sword, swung the sword, and chopped towards the chains that trapped Qi Miao.

Under the pressure of the Dragon Roar Sword, the chains seemed to become fragile. Xie Qijun slashed with his sword, and the chains broke with a sound, freeing Qi Miao from his restraints.

Looking at Xie Qijun smugly, he knew it was like this, "Brother, don't be so gloomy, I am very useful. This Chen Mansion is not as simple as you think."

"What did you predict?" Although Xie Qijun felt a little troubled, since he had already decided to save people, he no longer worried about it.

Qi Miao paused for a moment and said slowly: "I can only predict that there is something going on underground in the Chen Mansion, but I still don't know what the specific situation is."

"What a loser!" Xie Qijun cursed inwardly, but he managed to suppress his anger. He knew now was not the time to lose his temper; he needed to remain calm to deal with the predicament. So, he took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and began looking for a way to escape.

Suddenly, he realized the cell door lock didn't seem complicated; it was just a simple chain lock. Xie Qijun was delighted and immediately pulled out a thin needle from his pocket. He had hidden this needle away, just in case. He carefully aligned the needle with the keyhole of the chain lock and gave it a gentle twist. With a click, the chain lock was easily opened.

Xie Qijun gently pushed open the prison door and walked out under Qi Miao's surprised gaze.

Qi Miao widened his eyes, unable to believe what he saw. He didn't expect Xie Qijun to have such superb lock-picking skills. No, how could he do this?

Xie Qijun looked back at Qi Miao, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile. He thought to himself: "Huh, I'm not an incompetent person like you."

After walking a few steps, Xie Qijun suddenly felt something was wrong. He frowned, stopped in confusion, and slowly turned around. He was speechless when he saw Qi Miao still standing quietly in the cell, motionless, as if he had turned into a statue. This guy was hopeless.
