Skip this! Just tell me who to kill!

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Xiao Chang's pride quickly vanished, and he also thought of the methods of Lin Jiuye, the headmaster of Baiyun Martial Arts School.

"Father, Brother Qin's solo rescue of people at Baiyun Martial Arts School was a righteous act, and we absolutely cannot ignore him!" Xiao Chang said urgently, making his stance clear.

Qin Muyuan did nothing wrong, and Xiao Chang was unwilling to watch Qin Muyuan be brought to his door by Lin Jiuye and die at his hands!

Xiao Feng sighed and said, "Now that things have come to this, the only way is to use our ancestor's connections to find old friends in the court and send someone to persuade Lin Jiuye. We need to apologize to him and ask him to let Brother Qin go this time."

……

Xiao Chang dismissed the maids following behind him and went to a side room in the Xiao residence where Qin Muyuan had already bathed and changed into clothes that were not stained with blood.

To be honest, Xiao Chang was slightly taken aback when he saw Qin Muyuan, who had no blood on him.

Because ever since he met Qin Muyuan, he has been stained with blood.

After arriving at the Xiao residence, Qin Muyuan bathed and changed clothes, went out for a while, and then encountered the Baiyun Martial Arts School incident. After killing someone, Qin Muyuan was covered in blood.

It seems that ever since he met Qin Muyuan, Qin Muyuan has either been killing people or on his way to killing people...

"Is the aftermath difficult? Why do you look so worried?" Qin Muyuan asked, looking at Xiao Chang as he entered the room and noticing the worry on his face.

The absence of an exclamation mark above Xiao Chang's head indicates that he has no mission.

However, considering that Xiao Chang was an NPC who shared his temperament and was currently looking worried, Qin Muyuan decided to ask him a question.

After all, he had previously said he would protect Xiao Chang.

"No, it's nothing, Brother Qin." Xiao Chang suppressed his worry for Lin Jiuye and shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Qin Muyuan nodded and did not ask any further questions.

Since Xiao Chang is unwilling to talk about it, perhaps he has some unspeakable secret, such as being scolded as a simp by the girl he likes.

If that's the case, Qin Muyuan felt it was best not to reopen old wounds.

"By the way, Brother Qin," Xiao Chang said, "the people rescued from Master Chen's mansion have all been settled. They are very grateful to Brother Qin for saving their lives and want to prepare a feast to express their gratitude. They specifically asked me to ask Brother Qin when he will be available."

when?

Qin Muyuan looked at the message on the panel: "[No missions in the city at the moment. Speed ​​up the time?]"

He said, "I'm free right now."

"..." Xiao Chang said helplessly, "Brother Qin, those people have been separated from their families for a long time and need some time to reunite with them. Right now... I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold a banquet."

That's right.

This incredibly realistic game definitely needs to help those imprisoned people process their painful experiences.

Unlike other games, where an NPC can walk briskly the moment they get shot, this game doesn't allow NPCs to do the same thing.

So Qin Muyuan said, "Then you can make the arrangements. I'm free most of the time."

Xiao Chang nodded and noted down Qin Muyuan's words.

After chatting for a couple more minutes, Xiao Chang left Qin Muyuan's room.

Throughout the entire process, he never expressed his concerns about Lin Jiuye, the headmaster of the Baiyun Martial Arts Academy.

After all, even if he said it, it would only increase Qin Muyuan's fear.

It would be better to try using the Xiao family's connections to resolve this matter for Qin Muyuan first. After that, we can tell Qin Muyuan the whole story.

"If this can't be resolved... then prepare silver and carriages for Brother Qin, so he can hide for the time being!" Xiao Chang thought to himself.

"Although Lin Jiuye is arrogant, he's not so lawless as to dare break into my Xiao family and attack my father!"

Xiao Chang left, and in the room, Qin Muyuan did not see the "No missions in the city" message, so he decided to speed things up for a while.

He wanted to see how the ordinary people and NPCs outside would react when his fame spread throughout Qinghua County after time was accelerated.

Based on the game's level of realism, it should be quite fun.

Qin Muyuan slowly closed his eyes and entered a state of accelerated time.

To outsiders—referring to the wolf demon Wangcai—it appeared as if their master had suddenly gone to bed and closed his eyes to rest.

His aura quickly faded from its peak to nothingness, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

However, even in a deep sleep, Wangcai dared not do anything to its master.

After all, considering the master's strength, ruthless killing spirit, and the decent food provided by the Xiao family after arriving at the Xiao residence.

Wangcai thinks—actually, it's not shameful to recognize an owner.

The wolf demon clan is flexible and adaptable. One of their ancestors followed a cultivator as his master, and from then on, he followed the cultivator out of the Southern Wilderness and went to a higher realm.

The master of his own is young, yet his strength is already enough to kill the branch master of the Baiyun Martial Arts School, who is at the peak of the third rank and half-step into the second rank.

Moreover, he also possesses a lightning technique that closely resembles immortal magic!

They look extraordinary; their background must be quite impressive!

If I lick my master well and serve him well, maybe I can also attain enlightenment along with him, and even my chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven!

Thinking about it, Wangcai closed the door to the side room and quietly lay down at the entrance.

Hug your thighs!

We must cling to this master's leg!

……

The moon sets and the sun rises.

Early the next morning, in the main hall of the Xiao family mansion, Xiao Feng, Xiao Chang, and some of the collateral relatives of the Xiao family sat upright in their respective seats.

Xiao Feng, holding a letter, slammed his hand on the table with a grim expression.

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

Upon seeing Xiao Feng, who was usually so refined and composed, display such a reaction, the other collateral relatives of the Xiao family quickly took the letter from Xiao Feng and began to examine it.

Upon seeing this, their faces also revealed the same shock and anger as Xiao Feng's.

"That Lu Hong has no conscience at all! Our Xiao family spared no expense and did everything we could to help him get into the imperial court. Now that our family needs his help, he turns his back on us!"

"Lian Xiu is an utterly shameless scoundrel! In the past, my Xiao family showered him with countless lavish gifts in an effort to cultivate a good relationship with him. When he accepted the money, he swore he would definitely help out; who knew he would betray his promise in the blink of an eye and do nothing at all!"

"It's fine if he doesn't do anything, but he even dares to claim that Lin Jiuye is extremely angry, and that he lost face by trying to persuade her, yet he wants us to give him money to make up for it—he's simply insatiable!"

"Beasts! These people who take money and do nothing are all beasts!"

Inside the Xiao residence, the Xiao family members were filled with righteous indignation, gritting their teeth.

These people are ruthless when it comes to taking money, claiming they have a long-standing friendship with the Xiao family.

When it comes to getting things done, they make excuses and shirk responsibility, unwilling to do anything at all!

Just then.

A servant of the Xiao family, carrying a letter, bowed and quickly entered the main hall, handing the letter to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng looked at the messenger's name, a hopeful expression on his face.

The sender of this letter was Xiao Feng's best friend from his youth, who is now the governor of Hongyan County and wields great power.

He wrote a letter overnight, pleading with the other party, thinking that with the other party's power in the court and their friendship, he would surely be able to intervene and save Qin Muyuan's life.

however.

As he unfolded the letter, his gaze quickly swept over the words, and the expectation on his face froze instantly, turning into a grimace.

In the letter, the prefect whom he regarded as a close friend not only resolutely rejected his request, but also stated in the letter that he would sever his friendship with Xiao Feng!

From this day forward, we will sever all ties and draw a clear line between ourselves!
