The more Puyang Huan acted guilty, the more everyone understood what she was hiding.

"Miss Huan'er, this is the most important forbidden area in our Wuxiang Valley. If you want to live in peace, you must abide by our rules. Tell us what you know, and don't wait until something terrible happens to regret it." said the second master.

"Young lady won't tell me, so I'll tell you," Zhang said angrily. "These past few days, Miss Qin has been secretly trying to figure out the traps in our valley. Our young lady is naive and believed she was just curious, so she told her the approximate location. We never imagined something like this would happen today. The person who broke in was most likely Miss Qin. But why she did this, we don't know."

"Nurse, I've told you many times that Sister Qin can't possibly be a spy sent by the imperial court. Don't doubt her anymore," Puyang Huan said angrily. "Even though I'm not feeling well, she's still willing to be my friend and take me out to play every day. Even though she's always taking me to different valleys, I'm happy too."

"Miss, you are too naive. She is using you." Zhang said, "She was indifferent to you not long ago, but now she is so enthusiastic about you all of a sudden. Isn't there something wrong?"

The four masters looked at Puyang Qiubai.

"Lord, give the order. This woman cannot stay."

"Even if we want to sentence her, shouldn't we ask the person involved?" Ouyang Qianyu said, "Can we convict her based solely on their one-sided statements?"

"If she is in there, then there is nothing to ask. Everyone in the valley knows that this is a forbidden area and anyone who enters without permission will be killed. If the lord breaks the rules today and everyone breaks the rules in the future, then what rules will we have in Wuxiang Valley?" said the fourth master.

"Outsiders shouldn't be allowed here," Zhang said. "This woman has ulterior motives and is most likely a spy sent by the imperial court. To eliminate future trouble, we should get rid of her."

Puyang Qiubai said with a cold face: "So many of you are teaching me how to do things. Could it be that you are dissatisfied with me as your lord and want to replace me?"

"My lord, we don't mean that, nor do we dare to have such thoughts. As long as you get rid of this woman who shouldn't be there, we in Wuxiang Valley can still be united as before." Zhang said.

"You are in a hurry to sentence her to death before you even see her. How can a little girl like her be an obstacle to you?" Zhuge Congfeng sneered.

"Um...what happened here?" A puzzled voice sounded.

When everyone heard the voice, they turned around at the same time and saw Qin Huiyin with long hair, looking like she had just woken up from a dream.

"Yinyin, where were you just now?" Ouyang Qianyu looked at her in surprise.

"I was sleeping! But I heard a loud noise and thought something happened, so I followed the sound and came over to see what was going on." Qin Huiyin said, "What are you doing here?"

"You didn't enter this forbidden area?" Zhuge Congyun asked.

"Is this your forbidden area? I don't know! I'm a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts, why would I run around in the middle of the night?" Qin Huiyin said, "Why are you asking this?"

"Sister Qin, I was so scared." Puyang Huan said, holding her hand. "During the day, you asked me how to leave the valley. I thought you had broken into this forbidden area to leave the valley!"

Everyone looked at Qin Huiyin with dangerous eyes.

Everyone thought this woman was dishonest and wanted to escape from the valley, so she was very likely to betray them. Once their whereabouts were exposed, the court would send troops to encircle and suppress them.

"Sister Huan'er, I think I only asked how often you go out of the valley and how you purchase supplies on a daily basis. I didn't mention leaving the valley, right?" Qin Huiyin looked at Puyang Huan in surprise. "Your words can easily cause misunderstandings. I'm a friend invited by Brother Zhuge, not a captive. I'm having a great time here. Even if I wanted to leave, Brother Zhuge would lead me out openly. How could I possibly ask you for directions?"

"What was that sound of bells and drums just now?" someone asked.

Puyang Qiubai said, "I'll go take a look."

As he spoke, he stepped into the entrance of the forbidden area.

Not long after, Puyang Qiubai came out carrying a rabbit and said, "It was this little creature that accidentally got in and set off the alarm, causing the bells and drums to ring."

"It turned out to be a misunderstanding!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The tense atmosphere just now suddenly eased.

Zhang looked unwilling.

how could be?

This woman has been asking for routes every day recently and taking them to wander around in the valley. Isn't it to explore the traps in advance?

If this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to deal with her in the future. This woman is so cunning, and in this situation, she is very likely to realize that they want to kill her.

"Fortunately, Miss Qin did nothing wrong, otherwise it would be really difficult for the lord. In fact, this cannot be blamed on us. We are all family members in this valley, and only Miss Qin is an outsider. If something happens, the first suspect will of course be Miss Qin." Zhang said.

"My Lord, what Zhang said is exactly what we think," said the Master. "We are all here today, so please give me a firm answer! Either I give her a bowl of potion to make her forget her past and live exclusively in our valley from now on. Or I will marry her and make her our mistress."

Qin Huiyin: "..."

She looked at Puyang Qiubai.

Zhuge Congfeng and Ouyang Qianyu protected Qin Huiyin one in front and one behind.

Puyang Qiubai said calmly, "If I, your lord, agree to your choice of one of these two conditions today, does that mean that the Wuxiang Alliance is not centered around me, and I am just a puppet you have kept captive?"

"My lord, we have tried so hard to find you and have suffered so much. Have we ever been disrespectful to you?" The master was both angry and furious.

"Masters, you have done me a favor, and Qiu Bai will never forget it. However, a favor is a favor, but it cannot be held hostage. Masters, if you want me to continue to be the lord, you must follow my rules. Since Miss Qin did not enter the forbidden area and did not break the rules of our Wuxiang League, she does not need to be restricted. Okay, let's all go back!"

"My Lord, this matter today is beyond your control," said the Third Master. "To tell you the truth, Miss Qin's body is already poisoned by me."

"What did you say?" Zhuge Congfeng and Puyang Qiubai asked in unison.

Qin Huiyin was angry: "When?"

"A few days ago, Miss Qin was not feeling well and came to see me. I put a little poison in her body. The poison will not kill you, but it will make you lose your memory. However, don't worry, the disease has not yet occurred. If there is no antidote in ten days, I will be very sorry." Master Three said.
