shuhaige. net Chapter 312: Could it be from your sect?

Xiao Yichen nodded at him and raised his cup.

Indeed, this time he could 'defeat' Gu Rongjin, all thanks to this witch doctor.

Xiao Yichen found himself trusting this witch doctor more and more.

Xiao Chuchu was even more so, practically worshipping this witch doctor as a god, being extremely attentive, constantly pouring tea and handing him water.

With this witch doctor around, does she still worry about not being able to deal with Mu Yuanzhi?

She is now full of confidence!

It's truly heaven opening its eyes!

The crown prince's birthday banquet is still ongoing; next is free time for chatting and socializing, but the Xiao family now has no one coming to chat, nor anyone coming to socialize—only people coming to watch the joke!

"Chuchu, long time no see, you've lost a lot of weight." The Minister of Personnel's Daughter came over with a beaming smile to greet her, but between the lines there was a probing implication.

She was well versed in the art of lifting others up while stepping on them down, and she naturally knew this woman harbored ill intentions.

Having been imprisoned in the Imperial Court of Justice's great prison, she would naturally never be able to hold her head high again in the capital's noble ladies' circle.

If her elder brother were still a Senior Grand Secretary and a high-ranking court official, everyone would still give her some face.

But her elder brother is merely a lowly Sixth Rank official!

These people naturally would kick her while she's down even more!

Xiao Chuchu glared resentfully at Mu Yuanzhi not far away and said with a fake smile, "Thanks for your concern."

The Minister of Personnel's Daughter covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Chuchu, we're like sisters; if you have any trouble, just speak up—I'll definitely take care of you as your sister, for example by sending you some nourishing ginseng."

Pah!

Xiao Chuchu's face almost couldn't hold it; she was about to lose her temper when Xiao Yichen tugged her hand and said, "We siblings have other matters; excuse us."

The Minister of Personnel's Daughter felt a bit bored, thinking she would provoke this fiery Xiao Chuchu into losing her composure.

She gave them a teasing glance, swaying her seductive waist as she walked away.

Xiao Chuchu wanted to grab the nearby water kettle and smash it on her head, just to see how arrogant she could still be!

You wretch, before when you fawned over the Xiao family you were like a dog, but now you act like a person!

"Brother, why are you pulling me?" Xiao Chuchu said, furious.

"Don't cause trouble, she's the Minister's Daughter!" Xiao Yichen rebuked in a cold voice.

"Exactly, they're the Minister's Daughter, while I—my brother is merely a Sixth Rank official!" Xiao Chuchu said, displeased.

"Do you think I'm only a Sixth Rank official because of someone?!"

Xiao Chuchu realized she had blurted out something thoughtless, hurriedly looked at her brother, saw Xiao Yichen emanating a terrifying aura, felt both regret and grievance, and apologized softly, "Sorry, brother."

But she immediately justified herself in her heart.

If her elder brother enjoyed deep imperial favor, why would he need to use an official post to exchange for her?

Putting that aside, if her elder brother had well assisted the Deposed Emperor and defeated the new emperor, how could the Xiao family have ended up in such a situation?

After all, it's all her elder brother's fault; he should have joined her in dealing with Mu Yuanzhi!

Instead of still obsessing over that dead fox spirit Mu Yuanzhi!

The more Xiao Chuchu thought about it, the more indignant she felt, believing her current plight was entirely Mu Yuanzhi's fault, leaving her utterly miserable!

Now none of the capital's noble young men are willing to marry her!

Now, that dead woman Mu Yuanzhi is still living it up!

She's lovingly entwined with Gu Rongjin and even pregnant!

It would be nice if that calamity suffered some mishap, Xiao Chuchu thought darkly.

Mu Yuanzhi naturally noticed Xiao Chuchu's occasional poisonous glances, she was used to it and didn't mind, but now she is more concerned about that witch doctor.

Just what method is he using to help Xiao Yichen?

"That scoundrel Xiao Yichen knows my every move in detail—unfathomable, it's as if he's my fellow disciple, no, even my master might not be able to predict so precisely……"

Gu Rongjin simply couldn't figure it out.

Qi Shi'an said: "The National Teacher and the Grand Master can't see any wicked tricks from this witch doctor; in other words, he taught Xiao Yichen how to respond. Rongjin, could he be from your sect?"

"Who should I ask? I've only ever seen my master in my studies; even if my sect is the Mount Yin Sect, I've only been there once." Gu Rongjin said.

The monk said: "The Mount Yin Sect and the Hidden Moon Sect are basically legends in the martial world now; Patron Gu only seeing your master is nothing surprising."

"How much does the Grand Master know about my sect?" Gu Rongjin asked.

The monk shook his head: "Not much understanding."

Qilin said: "Let's catch this witch doctor and ask him a few questions."

Mu Yuanzhi said: "Don't rush; His Majesty will surely summon this witch doctor for an audience."

"If His Majesty summons him and we're not present?" Qilin said, "According to me, we should seize the opportunity and block him!"

With so many of them, they don't believe they can't stop him!

He lifted his gaze, but there was no trace of the witch doctor anywhere.

"Where is he?!"

Mu Yuanzhi also looked over.

He was just there a moment ago—how did he vanish in an instant?

"Mu Sister, I want to go change clothes—come with me?" Xi Xi approached and said.

She doesn't dare go alone; it's so dark.

Mu Yuanzhi said: "Sure, I also wanted to go."

"I'll go too; you two ladies are in too much danger." Qilin said.

Although this is Shanglin Park, who knows how bold those with ill intentions might be?

With Qilin accompanying him, Gu Rongjin also felt relieved; he had originally intended to say he was the one accompanying, but Qilin this kid beat him to it.

If he argues with this kid, his wife will surely scold him later.

Just go change clothes; there shouldn't be anything to worry about, right?

Xi Xi happily linked arms with Mu Yuanzhi and went to change clothes, with Qilin following behind them.

After they finished changing and came out, Qilin also wanted to go.

"Stay here, don't run around; if anything happens, shout loudly—I'll come out right away!" Qilin urged repeatedly.

"Alright, go ahead—it'll just be a moment, don't be too nervous," said Mu Yuanzhi.

"Okay."

As soon as Qilin went in, Mu Yuanzhi heard footsteps, and Xi Xi instinctively tightened her grip on Mu Yuanzhi's arm.

"It's late and quiet—there won't be any ghosts, right?"

"People are scarier than ghosts," said Mu Yuanzhi.

"That's how I put it, but when I'm alone I fear bad people, and with company I fear ghosts." Xi Xi's voice grew weak, as if she were truly frightened.

Mu Yuanzhi chuckled: "When you have company, you're just full and bragging."

"There's nothing to be done, that's just how they are." Xi Xi muttered and tugged at Mu Yuanzhi: "They really came our way!"

Scary scary!

"What a coincidence, ladies—you're also here to change clothes."

A highly recognizable voice came from afar; in the night, that patch of purple drew nearer.

It's that witch doctor!

It's a person—Xi Xi immediately stopped being afraid.

"How should I address you?" Mu Yuanzhi asked with a smile.
