The fierce battle sounded nonstop but Ai Hui’s attention was coy is brilliant, I’m impressed” Xiao Shuren’s voice was full of praise, ”First was the empty residence after Madam took Xiaobao out And the ancient treasure I have on me is a bait to attract intruders, especially those fro Residence Karakorum Savant and this Silver Soldier are her assistants and theirher words, Ai Hui autoround
He’d not felt it previously, but upon hearing Xiao Shuren’s comments, he couldn’t help but notice some of these clues ”Why?” he asked, unable to bear his curiosity
Xiao Shuren’s tone carried admiration ”Because Mada Residence Mada of rurievances she felt before would intensify, evoking more sympathy fro bullied, ould they think?”
”They would only feel that Mada went overboard and that the orphan andare extreht not be anyone ould dare stand up for her But there’s Great Elder behind Madam Ye Great Elder is beyond furious about the rumors that smear Xiaobao’s reputation so it’s inevitable that he will take action And if Great Elder teaches the Ling Residence a lesson, would anyone stand up for thely, ”Madam Ye will have everyone see for themselves Look, it’s the Ye Residence The residence that houses all elementalists with the surnaround by the Ling Residence Aren’t they wretched? Aren’t they pitiful? Shouldn’t the Ling Residence die?”
Ai Hui’s heart turned cold These people’s shrewdness and cunningness was absolutely frighteningly
”Ling Residence is done for” Xiao Shuren sighed softly ”And the bait? It will be handed over to Elders Guild of course Ye Residence, being sensible, has no interest in the ancient treasure at all Why wouldn’t the Elders Guild be enticed by the ancient treasure, when even Dai Gang is drooling over it and they can shut everyone’s mouth with it?”
Ai Hui remained silent He wasn’t proficient in crafty plots and manipulations, but he wasn’t foolish He understood what Xiao Shuren was saying about the gains and losses involved
And unfortunately, Xiao Shuren was right
”Actually, I’ve been thinking about some questions for the past few days How did I land myself in the Ye Residence? It was because I fell into the hands of Karakorum chief, and her relationshi+p with Madam Ye wasn’t superficial Why did I fall into the hands of the chief? Because rumor had it that the ancient treasure was related to swordsmanshi+p And where did that rumor come from?”
”Don’t you find it too coincidental, Mister Chu?” Xiao Shuren asked with a smile
Ai Hui found it unbelievable ”Could it be Madam Ye?”
”I have no proof,” Xiao Shuren said faintly ”But if that’s the case, our Madam Ye is really not a simple character”
Her next sentence was even”Only two people from Great Wei Enterprise know about the ancient treasure One is already dead and the other isIf my theory is valid, I’”
Ai Hui was duuess was simply too out of this world, but somehow, intuition told hi?”
Xiao Shuren spoke with adret While she combed this theory out from threads and traces, it was very difficult for her to link it with this single mother who had raised a handicapped son for over ten years
”I do not want to fall into the hands of the Elders Guild Plus, I have personalto hand over the ancient treasure I only seek your compassion”
Xiao Shuren’s tone was sorrowful
Ai Hui shook his head ”I’m not interested in the ancient treasure”
The ancient treasure was a big inconvenience that brought bad luck to its possessor Countless people had died because of it, including those who perished in the Great Wei Enterprise s Ai Hui had to do, so he did not wish to get involved If he did get involved, he wouldn’t be able to acco anymore
Xiao Shuren was rather shocked and also extre the truth
She let out a distressed, bitter laugh ”Those who heard about the ancient treasure scrabbled for it like moths for a flame Who would’ve expected you to deem it as trash”
Ai Hui did not respond
No one disliked treasures His more ied ”A virtuousit to you”
Before Ai Hui could open his mouth, Xiao Shuren’s next action had him dumbfounded
She stuck her pal suicide?
Ai Hui was extremely shocked, but he reacted quickly and noticed that there was no blood co out from her chest at all
He cried out involuntarily, ”Transfigured elementalist?!”
”I had been severely injured and almost lost my life To survive, I had to transfore of her drawing her tender, snohite palm out from her snohite chest carried an inexpressible, devilish beauty
There was a trace of satisfaction and craftiness in Xiao Shuren’s tone ”They did not expect that I would place the ancient treasure inside my body”
Ai Hui had not expected that too
Her snohite pal two transparent and flawless crystals
Each was about the size of a finger and in the centre of each was a drop of golden liquid
