Chapter 53 Settling scores with the female demon
Just as the four handsome men were about to go to find Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan's two bodyguards—the quick-witted Yun Feiyang and the thoughtful Liu Qingluo—couldn't sit still. They were always loyal and couldn't bear to see their young master suffer.
As night fell, the two guards gathered in a secluded courtyard to discuss their next move.
"Miss Yushuang was poisoned by that female demon Qiu, yet the young master still doesn't believe it!"
Yun Feiyang said indignantly, slamming his fist on the table with a dull thud.
Liu Qingluo frowned and said softly, "The rumors in the martial arts world have spread like wildfire, and many people believe that Qiu Ziyue did it."
Yun Feiyang nodded and added, "It was that female demon who took a fancy to our young master and that's why she poisoned him. That female demon is truly a vicious person."
Liu Qingluo was silent for a moment before speaking, "No matter what, we can't sit idly by. If it really was that female demon who poisoned us, we must make her hand over the antidote."
The two exchanged a glance and decided to confront Qiu Ziyue and demand the antidote.
So the two quickly left the courtyard and headed straight for Qiu Ziyue's residence.
Along the way, their mood grew heavier and their anger burned brighter.
Finally, they arrived at Qiu Ziyue's residence.
At this moment, Qiu Ziyue was resting. Hearing the noise outside the door, she looked up and saw two people rushing in. She was a little surprised and abrupt: "What are you doing here?"
Yun Feiyang was the first to step forward and questioned her without any politeness: "Qiu Ziyue, why did you poison Miss Yushuang?!"
Liu Qingluo stepped forward, her tone stern: "Are the rumors circulating in the martial arts world true? Did you poison him?"
Liu Qingluo looked at Qiu Ziyue with a hint of disappointment in her eyes: "As a woman, I never expected you to be so vicious. Hand over the antidote now, or we will not let this go!"
Qiu Ziyue was taken aback by the two people's accusations.
She stood up, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.
"You've misunderstood. I didn't poison you with Yu Shuang," Qiu Ziyue explained.
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, clearly not believing Qiu Ziyue's words.
Yun Feiyang sneered, "Do you think we'd believe your excuse? Hand over the antidote now!"
Liu Qingluo sighed and advised, "Qiu Ziyue, you must give us an explanation. Miss Yushuang's life is hanging by a thread, and we need the antidote."
Qiu Ziyue felt a wave of helplessness, but she said firmly, "I'll say it again, I really don't have an antidote, but I will find a way to detoxify."
Upon hearing this, the two relaxed slightly, but remained vigilant, only to turn hostile again shortly afterward.
Yun Feiyang said, "Rumors in the martial arts world say you're a female demon. Do you think we can believe your delaying tactics?"
Qiu Ziyue shook her head and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. There's nothing I can do about it."
Qiu Ziyue's three senior brothers stood behind her and smiled slightly, "Please use your brains. With my junior sister's abilities, do you need to resort to such underhanded methods? Instead of asking us for the antidote, you might as well just ask Zhao Wanqing for the antidote directly."
“What does this have to do with Miss Zhao? It was clearly you, Qiu Ziyue, who poisoned her. Someone saw you and Liu Xu poisoning her backstage,” Yun Feiyang said.
"I really can't do anything with you guys. You've been around for a while now. Use your brains! I'm an honest person, I don't do things in secret. How could I do something so childish? Humph, you're utterly foolish!" Qiu Ziyue said angrily.
The entire courtyard of the inn was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Liu Qingluo could no longer contain herself and said sharply, "Stop making excuses! It's all over the martial arts world that you poisoned her! Today we're going to get justice for Miss Yushuang!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Liu Qingluo struck first, sending a palm strike at Qiu Ziyue.
Qiu Ziyue reacted quickly, dodging to the side and simultaneously striking Liu Qingluo with a backhand palm strike.
Then, a slight sound came from Qiu Ziyue's shoulder.
Qiu Ziyue said, "I didn't want to be your enemy, nor did I want to be ruthless, but you are too stubborn. Don't blame my Xueying for being angry."
Xueying jumped off Qiu Ziyue's shoulder, stood on the ground, and scanned her surroundings with lively eyes.
Xueying is usually obedient and docile, but she can play an unexpected role at crucial moments.
Upon seeing this, the two guards tensed up and watched the little golden fox warily.
Although they were exhausted, they remained highly vigilant.
Snow Shadow seemed to sense its master's intentions, and suddenly let out a sharp cry, its form instantly becoming blurry.
The next moment, it transformed into a golden lightning bolt and launched an attack on the two guards.
Yun Feiyang was the first to be attacked. Xueying rushed towards him like an arrow, so fast that it was difficult for anyone to react.
Yun Feiyang tried to change his identity to evade, but Xueying was too fast and bit his wrist in an instant. Yun Feiyang cried out in pain and hurriedly tried to shake Xueying off.
Xueying refused to give in and instead increased her pressure, causing Yun Feiyang to fall to the ground in agony.
Immediately afterwards, Xueying lunged at Liu Qingluo, who swung her sword to defend herself.
Xueying was incredibly agile, easily dodging Liu Qingluo's sword and leaping onto her back, where she used her sharp claws to slash several bloody marks.
Liu Qingluo cried out in pain and was unable to move for a moment.
Then, Xueying moved with lightning speed, lunging directly at Yun Feiyang's throat. Yun Feiyang hurriedly tried to block with his hand, but Xueying bit his arm, the intense pain almost causing him to faint.
The two guards collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Ziyue immediately stepped forward to stop Xueying's further attack.
Senior Brother Qiu Langyu stepped forward and coldly looked at the two lying on the ground: "Our junior sister did not poison you and did not intend to harm you."
Qiu Ziyue stepped forward, gently stroking Xueying, and whispered, "Alright, Xueying, stop attacking them. Let's go find herbs together and save the innocent people."
Xueying seemed to understand her master's words and obediently returned to Qiu Ziyue's shoulder.
Under a fierce onslaught, the two guards were half-sit on the ground, groaning in pain. They barely managed to support themselves, their eyes filled with resentment.
Qiu Ziyue looked at the two people lying on the ground, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.
She said slowly, "I know you mean well for Miss Yushuang, but please believe me, I really didn't harm her. Afterwards, I will call Liuxu and have her tell you the truth. Also, you can find Zhao Wanqing to help you find the antidote."
The two guards lay on the ground, writhing in pain, and for a moment no one could answer them.
Their eyes held anger, helplessness, and confusion.
"Where is Miss Qiu heading?" Just as Qiu Ziyue and her three senior brothers were about to leave, four handsome men walked towards them.
"I, ... you..."
Before Qiu Ziyue could recover, Yun Feiyang suddenly struggled to his feet behind her, staring sharply at her, and said coldly, "Qiu Ziyue, you really are a female demon! To achieve your goals, you don't hesitate to poison people; you are truly heartless and insane!"
