Chapter 176 Simply Wants to Kill

Xu Qingping interrupted the guards directly: "You're afraid of being blamed by the city lord if something happens, so why are you blocking my way and not letting me in? Aren't you afraid I'll cause trouble for you in front of the city lord?"

The guards exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes. After a long while, they said with difficulty, "Young Master Xu, then it'll be a while. Don't make things difficult for us."

“I said I wouldn’t,” Xu Qingping said. “Open the door.”

The guard didn't say anything more and opened the door.

Xu Qingping entered the room and went straight to the bed. Looking at the unconscious Bai Jiu, Xu Qingping touched his hand and said, "This face is truly a rare beauty..."

The guards kept a close eye on the room, fearing that Xu Qingping might do something to someone. From an angle where the guards couldn't see him, Xu Qingping fed the pill he was holding into Baijiu's mouth.

Ling Yi remained awake. She didn't care about the poison, so she didn't resist. However, once the pill entered her mouth, Ling Yi knew that it wasn't poison, but rather the antidote to the medication they had been given.

After taking the medicine, Ling Yi opened his eyes at the right time, but his eyes were not focused. Xu Qingping covered Bai Jiu's mouth with his hand, stuffed a small porcelain bottle into Bai Jiu's hand, and said in an unhappy tone: "So what if he's good-looking? It's a pity he's blind."

“You can’t see anything. Even if you stay, you can’t steal the master’s favor.” After saying this, Xu Qingping turned and walked outside.

After Xu Qingping came out, the two guards glanced into the room to make sure he was lying there safely and was alright. Only then were the guards completely relieved and closed the door again.

The door closed, Ling Yi sat up, opened the porcelain bottle and poured out its contents: eight pills.

Ling Yi poured the pills back into the bottle, a mocking expression on his face.

If you rush to help someone without knowing whether they are willing, and they do agree, then Xu Qingping will be the one who suffers from being too kind.

Ling Yi lay back down and continued to pretend to be unconscious until the effects of the drug wore off naturally, at which point Ling Yi began to make a fuss.

The city lord's mansion had a set of methods to appease him, and Ling Yi quickly calmed down before finally saying, "I want to see my sister."

"Once Young Master Bai learns what I just told you, he will naturally be able to see his sister." The teaching nanny spoke in a cold tone, already used to the requests made by these people upon waking up, and dealt with them calmly.

"I won't learn if I can't see my sister." Bai Jiu's tone was firm: "If I can't see my sister today, I'd rather die."

Just as the old woman was about to say something, a voice came: "Young master, you are so young, why think so drastic?"

Upon seeing the visitor, the nanny quickly bowed and greeted him: "Master."

The city lord waved his hand: "You may step back now. I'd like to have a word with this young master."

"Yes," the nanny replied and withdrew.

The city lord sat down opposite the white wine and said gently, "I heard that you came to Lanyue to treat your eyes. I can help you with this. As for the conditions, I'm sure my servants have already told you."

Baijiu's tone was cold: "Thank you for your kindness, City Lord, but I have no such interest."

"It's alright if you don't have it, young master," the city lord said slowly. "As long as you're willing to stay, that's fine."

"Does the city lord really want me to stay?" Baijiu asked.

Upon hearing this, the city lord had a bad feeling, but looking at Bai Jiu, he was still the same person he had seen yesterday: "I do want to."

"What a pity." Baijiu smiled, "I am not my elder brother."

The city lord's expression changed, and before he could say anything, he saw the white wine in front of him tear off a mask from his face, and the face he liked became the face of one of the girls from yesterday.

The city lord had initially been indifferent to Ling Yi, but now, looking at her, a sense of disgust rose within him: "Does the young lady find this amusing?"

Seeing the obvious disgust in the city lord's eyes, Ling Yi chuckled and said, "Does the city lord find it amusing to detain people without asking their wishes?"

The city lord looked at Ling Yi, his tone completely devoid of its previous gentleness: "Does the young lady wish to resist?"

Before Ling Yi could say anything, the city lord stood up and looked down at her: "Miss, with your cultivation level, you can't even fly out of the city lord's mansion. If you behave yourself, I, for your brother's sake, am willing to..."

“Lord of the City,” Ling Yi interrupted him, “I was able to bypass the guards in the manor and switch places with my brother. Does the Lord of the City really think I can’t escape this manor?”

The city lord's expression changed, and in addition to disgust, there was also a hint of fear in his eyes. He immediately retreated.

Ling Yi looked at the city lord: "You want to keep my brother here?"

“My brother is blind and easily bullied. If you want my brother to stay, you can’t have your eyes. Also…” Ling Yi’s gaze went down and lingered on a certain spot for a moment: “Only if you cripple them can I feel at ease.”

The city lord looked at Ling Yi, his disgust rising. Without saying a word, he shouted, "Guards, seize her!"

At the same time, Tian Yan's voice rang in Ling Yi's mind: [01, Malice value exceeds 30%.]

"Heh." Ling Yi chuckled lightly, said no more, drew his bone knife and attacked the city lord. Just then, the guards who had received the order arrived and blocked Ling Yi's path.

Ling Yi's hands never stopped moving, his attacks were cunning and deadly, and several people fell down in no time.

The city lord was being escorted as he retreated. Seeing several of his guards die in the blink of an eye, he said in a deep voice, "Whoever can kill her will be richly rewarded!"

Guards usually act on orders and don't have malicious intent, but... the city lord's actions have actually increased Ling Yi's malicious intent.

Hearing Tianyan's warning that the malice value exceeded 30%, Ling Yi smiled and attacked them again with even greater ferocity. Soon, most of the guards who had arrived died under Ling Yi's blade.

Seeing his own men fall one after another, and recalling Ling Yi's strength, the city lord's expression turned grim: "Did you set this up on purpose? Who are you people?"

“It was indeed a deliberate scheme,” Ling Yi said while dealing with the guards. “But if you are a righteous person, this plan won’t work.”

The city lord's face was extremely grim: "Who ordered you to do this?"

"You're overthinking it." Ling Yi raised his hand and waved, a blade of light flew out, directly cleaving the person in two. At the same time, vines sprouted, entangled the two closest people, and strangled them to death. When he made his move again, he did not forget to continue answering: "No one ordered me to do this. I just wanted to kill people."

Did he simply want to kill someone?

The city lord didn't believe it at all, but as Ling Yi got closer and closer, the city lord finally panicked. Fortunately, Steward Li arrived with the manor's experts: "Master, are you alright?"

When the elders arrived, the city lord was relieved and ordered them, "Kill her."

The elders looked at Ling Yi and were somewhat surprised to find that she only had the cultivation of an eighth-level Spirit Master: "Does this really require our intervention?"

The lowest cultivation level among them is a fifth-level Spirit Saint. It would be a waste to have them deal with an eighth-level Spirit Sect Master.
