The Fourth Elder could tell that Shui Qinan did not want to talk about it, so she did not take it to heart. Such an expensive pill could naturally not be's own. It was very likely that Shui Qinan had accidentally obtained it.

The Fourth Elder could not help but sigh at Shui Qinan's luck. How could Shui Qinan know what the Fourth Elder was thinking? It was impossible for others to know the forging method of this pill. However, even if one were to tell others that it was forged by oneself, others would not believe it.

As the night fell, Shui Qinan let the Sixth Elder and Hua Jiao sleep in a room inside. Before leaving, Shui Qinan intentionally glanced at the Sixth Elder. If the Sixth Elder and Hua Jiao were to be placed in the same room, then whatever would happen to them would have nothing to do with Shui Qinan at all.

Shui Qinan locked the door from inside and turned to see the Fourth Elder behind him.

”Fourth Elder, why aren't you going to rest? I'll watch the two of them tonight. I won't let them escape.” Shui Qinan said indifferently.

Even if the Sixth Elder and Hua Jiao did not have the slightest bit of spirit energy in their bodies, Shui Qinan was still worried. Hua Jiao was cunning and treacherous, who knew what kind of tricks he would play. So the reason Shui Qinan had been guarding the door to their room tonight was to let them feel at ease.

The Fourth Elder nodded his head in praise. Shui Qinan's actions were decisive and suited his needs. It was all thanks to him this time, otherwise she would really have died here.

”The Sixth Elder and Hua Jiao consumed the medicinal pellets, which did not contain even the slightest bit of their spirit energy. You don't have to worry so much about guarding the door to their room all night long. ” The fourth elder advised.

Shui Qinan could not help but laugh, she had always been cautious when doing things. Now that she had finally caught a hold of the Sixth Elder and Hua Jiao, how could she so easily relax?

”Fourth Elder, this time we took the risk and caught the Sixth Elder and Hua Jiao. If an accident happened because of his negligence at night, then the gains would not make up for the losses. I will stand guard here today so that we can all be at ease. ” Shui Qinan slowly said, her eyes full of determination.

Seeing that Shui Qinan had made her decision, the Fourth Elder did not say anything else. He turned around to leave, preparing to rest. Before the Fourth Elder entered the room, she suddenly stopped.

He turned his head to look at Shui Qinan and asked the question that was pressing down on his heart.

”You clearly know that Hua Jiao is targeting you this time, and he wants to poison you to death. But why did you stop the Sixth Elder and save Hua Jiao? ”

Based on Fourth Elder's understanding of Shui Qinan, she did not seem like a soft-hearted person. Shui Qinan seemed to be stumped by the Fourth Elder's question, she was stunned for a moment, then recovered and replied: ”Fourth Elder feels that with Hua Jiao's temper, it would be uncomfortable to be killed by the Sixth Elder, or it would be uncomfortable to be saved by an enemy.”

The Fourth Elder was startled, as though he did not expect Shui Qinan to answer him like that, he thought for a moment, and then laughed out loud and entered the room.

Shui Qinan sat on a stool at the side and closed her eyes in thought.

Actually, she hadn't thought of taking Hua Jiao's life from the beginning. It wasn't because she was merciful, but because she wanted to make a person suffer. Death wasn't the best solution.

The best way was to make this person live a life worse than death.

Hua Jiao hated him so much, yet he saved him. This would be a devastating blow to his pride, and this was the result that Shui Qinan wanted.

When the Fourth Elder came out, Shui Qinan was still resting on the chair with his eyes closed. The Fourth Elder had only taken two steps when Shui Qinan opened his eyes. The aura around her body soared and the Fourth Elder was stunned by Shui Qinan's aura. He could not help but shrink back.

When Shui Qinan saw that the person was the Fourth Elder, she let her guard down and retracted the aura around him. Only then did the Fourth Elder walk to Shui Qinan's side. He was also a little doubtful that Shui Qinan wasn't as devoid of spirit energy as she appeared to be, but he did not ask.

”Did the Sixth Elder and Hua Jiao cause any trouble?” The Fourth Elder looked worriedly at the quiet room.
