My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 309 Leniency for confession
Xin Nian, her face tense, glanced at him suspiciously. "What are you doing? Why are you dawdling over the door? Are you hiding something?"

"No, no." Ling Luo was startled. The seven-foot-tall man felt aggrieved, another day of being frightened by a little girl.

"Oh?" Xin Nian glanced at him, stepped into the room, and saw Yan Xi coming down the bamboo ladder. Her face looked pale and fragile, almost transparent.

Xin Nian was not the type of person who would show tenderness or compassion to women...

If others saw this pitifully thin boy descending the steps, with such a handsome face, they would surely be unable to look away.

Xin Nianze instantly appeared in front of the other person, coldly questioning, "Yan Xi, you wouldn't be thinking of betraying me, would you?"

"I only give people one chance, so you have to make sure you seize it."

She looked the person in front of her up and down, and found him suspicious no matter how she looked at him.

Especially these days, ever since they arrived in the underground city, these two have been hiding in their rooms and never seen.

They claimed it was for recuperation, but Xin Nian suspected that the two of them had something to hide.

Yan Xi's complexion turned even paler, making her look delicate and pitiful.

Xin Nian stared at him for half a minute, then suddenly pulled out a chair from her spatial storage and sat down boldly at the top of the stairs!
"Tell me, what's wrong?"

"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. You should know that lying to me will never end well. There was someone who lied to me before, and the grass on his grave is at least seven meters tall now."

Linglu ran up to Yanxi and secretly tugged at her clothes.

Xin Nian glanced at the expressions on the two people's faces.

Goodness, she thought to herself.

These two lads really had something to hide, and they found it out with just a little trickery.

Ling Luo was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Seeing that Yan Xi was hesitant to speak, he knelt down with a "plop" and pitifully rushed forward to hug her leg, "Master! Please save Yan Xi."

Xin Nian: ...

What's wrong with this kid? He's calling everyone "master."

"Let me tell you, it's not that we want to betray you. It's just that His Highness Prince Yu has been secretly urging us, and if Yan Xi doesn't cooperate and take action, she probably won't live past these next two days."

"His Highness Yu has a very powerful magician by his side. We only recently learned that this great magician has placed a very powerful restriction on our heads."

"It's similar to how Yan Xi can see the situation within a hundred miles around in her mind. That great master of control magic can issue commands to us from a distance."

“If we don’t do it, we’ll lose our lives.”

"Although, even so, we all know that you, Master, are incredibly powerful. We dare not cooperate with him, nor do we want to."

"Right? We've known each other for so long. You're a person who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and we know that too. Of course we would never betray you! We'd rather die than betray you."

Xin Nian was increasingly surprised as she listened. "Wait, who did you just say?"

What, King Yu? That name sounds vaguely familiar.

"It is His Highness Prince Yu, you heard me right." Ling Luo was determined to get to the bottom of things, and since she had already said it, she would spill everything to Xin Nian.

"It is the Prince Yu whom you rescued in Tongxian. He... he is the master to whom we both originally served."

Xin Nian was quite surprised.

"Wait a minute, aren't you all serving the Prince of Jin?" She was completely confused.

What's going on? It feels like this involves some big royal gossip secrets, hehe. I want to know. Xin Nian looked at the two of them with great interest.

"Wait, you two wait a minute."

Xin Nian went out and found Xiao Jinzhi, then grabbed his wrist and rushed back to Ling Luoyanxi's bamboo house.

Upon entering, they found the two of them lying on the ground in pain, holding their heads and barely breathing.

Xin Nian rushed over, helping one of the younger brothers up and then the other, asking, "What happened to you two?"

She reached out and lifted Yan Xi up, pinching his face as she looked at him.

Oh dear, this handsome young man, whose life is as adrift as a banana leaf battered by rain, despite his unbearable headache, didn't show any sign of facial distortion; instead, a kind of broken beauty arose within him. Xin Nian, unusually kind-hearted, exclaimed, "Give me your hand!"

She grabbed Yan Xi's wrist and then casually tugged at Ling Luo's high ponytail.

Meeting his angry glare, Xin Nian gave an awkward smile, "Hurry up and give me your hand."

The little girl grabbed one in each hand and continuously channeled healing power into their bodies.

The healing power flowed through the meridians and converged at the top of the head.

Regardless of her past or present life, she has never revealed to anyone outside the team that her healing power is actually different from others.

It not only heals, but also perfectly purifies and expels all negative effects.

So... it's just a matter of control; a simple purification will suffice.

Fifteen minutes later, Yan Xi and Ling Luo were relieved. They were both drenched in sweat as if they had been pulled out of the water, looking as miserable as drowned puppies.

Although Yan Xi was in a disheveled state, her eyes shone brightly.

He was right after all! Miss Xin's healing ability was indeed more than just a glimpse; her true power far exceeded what was revealed to the world.

Xin Nian glanced at the two of them silently. "Never mind, you two go take a shower and change your clothes first. Fatty, let's go catch someone."

Throughout the entire treatment of the two people, Prince Xiao remained expressionless as he watched Niannian administer the treatment.

Upon hearing Xin Nian call him, the man gave Yan Xi a furtive glare, then quickly stepped forward, grabbed Xin Nian, and ran off.

That damn pretty boy, what's with the act of being so weak? He's practically begging to snuggle into Nian Nian's arms!

This Yan Xi is even more annoying than when he was working for the Prince of Jin.

I hate it!

Xin Nian casually rubbed her chubby son's handsome face, puzzled, "Little Fatty, why are you angry?"

Strange, is it just her imagination? Fatty seems a bit off.

"I'm not angry." He was furious!

Niannian rushed over from afar, taking him back to see Yan Xi! How hateful, what's so interesting about her!

"Let me tell you, I'm taking you to see a good show! You know what? Yanxi and the others just told me a shocking secret. I was originally planning to take you with me to hear it."

“But there’s no rush. Let them take a shower and change their clothes first, then I’ll take you back to hear the gossip. Let’s go catch someone first.”

Xiao Jinzhi's tense expression relaxed slightly.

Niannian wanted to take her to hear gossip and even take her to catch people. He was different from those two annoying guys!

"Who are you arresting to recite?"

"Arrest your brother." Xin Nian chuckled. "Do you still remember your fifth brother?"

"Xiao Tingye?" Xiao Jinzhi was taken aback.

"Yes, it's him. This guy is very good at hiding; he's the mastermind behind Ling Luoyanxi."

Xiao Jinzhi raised an eyebrow.

No wonder Niannian wanted to listen to gossip with him; it really was a huge mess.

The two arrived at the earthen house where Yu the Great Xiao Tingye was staying, and heard a loud tremor from afar.

Xin Nian's expression darkened, and Xiao Jinzhi frowned as well.

"there."

The two rushed over and saw that a row of mud houses had been razed to the ground. Many people had fled in panic, but many others were still buried underground.

"Save someone quickly."
