Chapter 396: Praying Mantis
The only needle smiled, "I found that you really don't remember to eat." โ
Fan Xinyue's expression was calm, and she quickly lowered her head, and only raised her head again after a while and said, "I'm sorry, Du girl, I didn't mean to, can you please help me detoxify?" โ
To be honest, she changed her words so quickly, which really surprised a few people with a single needle, especially the greedy wolf, and asked directly, "You finally have a brain?" โ
"Poofโ"
The only one didn't recognize it and laughed.
Fan Xinyue's face was even more ugly, she glanced at the greedy wolf aggrievedly, and stomped her feet with red eyes, "Brother greedy wolf, how can you say that about me!" โ
The only needle raised her hand, and the faint invisible powder fell on Fan Xinyue, and her red and swollen hand returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fan Xinyue hugged the arm that had regained her intuition, only to feel frightened, and her eyes looked at Du Yi with a look of horror.
And Mu Chen was full of amazement, he had heard the master talk about the unpredictable methods of the poisoner of the Solo Kingdom, but he had never seen it, so he was a little curious and unbelieving about the poisoner who could not be provoked in the master's mouth.
How can anyone be passive when people don't notice it? It must have been the person himself who was not careful.
But this matter was said by the master, has the master also been careless?
In such self-doubt, Mu Chen became more and more curious about the poisoner.
At this time, seeing the unique needle method, Mu Chen's eyes burned, not only did he not have the slightest fear, but there was a strange desire to move, as if the seeds buried under the soil finally met the opportunity to break through the soil.
The only needle that Mu Chen looked at with strange eyes, looked back with some curiosity, "What kind of eyes are you?" โ
Mu Chen said: "Are you a poisoner?" โ
Duyi said: "What do you think?" โ
Mu Chen's cold face actually showed a smile, which was as bright as the sun, which made people feel unreal.
The greedy wolf asked strangely, "What's wrong with the poisoner?" Do you like poisoners? โ
"No, no, yes, yes, I like poisoners." Mu Chen muttered while admitting and refuting for a while.
Duyi and the greedy wolf glanced at each other, and still said, "You have something to ask for." โ
Mu Chen shook his head, "I didn't, I just ...... I'd love to meet the poisoner. After that, he looked at the only needle expectantly, "Can I follow you these days?" I want to see what a poisoner looks like. โ
Duyi saw that Mu Chen was a simple character, and laughed: "There is no difference between a poisoner and an ordinary person, but he can use poison, and there is nothing to look at." โ
Mu Chen opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but Fan Xinyue interjected: "Cousin, you have the ability to take care of the house, why do you want to show you, I want you to show others your sword training experience, can you agree?" โ
Although Fan Xinyue's purpose in saying this was just to not let Mu Chen disturb her, what she said was very reasonable, Mu Chen couldn't refute it, she could only apologize, "It's me who takes it for granted, and please don't blame the girl." โ
A unique needle swinging hand.
originally thought that this matter would pass like this, who would have thought that Fan Xinyue would come to find the greedy wolf again, and Mu Chen would follow twice in three times, Fan Xinyue's goal was the greedy wolf, and Mu Chen's goal was the only needle.
Unlike the greedy wolf who wants to hide in the toilet and is unwilling to hide from Mu Chen, the only one who takes an attitude of ignoring Mu Chen, Mu Chen is also very knowledgeable, he doesn't bother the one needle, but his eyes will fall on her without a trace, but he won't follow people urgently.
When the only needle and the greedy wolf were entangled, the dark tide of the City Lord's Mansion was surging.
During this period, Mu Qiu came to see them, let them rest assured that they lived in the mansion, and then told them not to go to the back mountain, and specially pointed out that the back mountain was the place where Fan Yue retreated.
When Mu Qiu left, Duyi laughed and smiled at Yan Cheng: "This city lord's wife, it's not a big deal to see the excitement." โ
Yan Cheng seemed to be curious about what the only needle meant, "What do you think the city lord's wife will do?" โ
The only needle said: "Wait and see, there will be excitement soon." โ
Less than three days after the words of the only needle, the theft of the City Lord's Mansion was in an uproar.
Ordinary theft incidents, even if they want to be investigated, will be controlled within the appropriate range, but this time the stolen thing is a token of love that the city lord once gave to the city lord's wife, and it is a cherished thing of the city lord's wife.
Even the only one in their yard has been looked for, but compared to the search in other places, it is much more gentle, but the person who came asked a few words, got the answer of 'I didn't see it' and left.
Yan Cheng's fingers swiped through the water mirror, scattering the scene in the water, and said with a smile: "It's started." โ
Duyi said: "If you sing and I take the stage, I don't know who will achieve the goal in the end, and who will push the boat along the water." โ
The theft incident was quiet after two days of uproar, and I don't know if I found it or not.
It was still the greedy wolf who asked Fan Xinyue to know that the thing was not found, and the young city lord did not let him find it.
"My mother too, isn't it just a bracelet, and it's not a precious treasure, if you lose it, you lose it, and you have to make the whole mansion unpeaceful." Because of the thorough investigation of the theft case, Fan Xinyue has been grounded in the yard for the past few days, and she can't come to find the greedy wolf, so she naturally has all kinds of impatience in her heart.
Mu Chen's face was calm, and he waited for Fan Xinyue to finish speaking before he said: "It was a love gift from my uncle to my aunt, not to mention the value of the bracelet itself, but that heart is priceless." As an aunt's daughter, you don't understand your mother's feelings, and it would be too unfilial to say such things. โ
Fan Xinyue didn't refute with a cold face, she is also used to it these days, this cousin looks cold-hearted and cold-hearted, but in fact, he is the most old-fashioned and well-behaved, not like a dashing swordsman, but like a master teaching in the academy. If he doesn't refute it, if he refutes, he will read it until you apologize and admit that you were wrong.
Fan Xinyue was almost annoyed with him, but he could see him every time he came to Qingling Garden.
"Yes, yes, don't say it, don't say it." Fan Xinyue said: "Anyway, I didn't find anything, my brother said that he had been looking for two days, and if he continued to make trouble, people outside would be suspicious, just look for it in private." โ
Fan Xinyue is now more and more reluctant to listen to her mother's words, but she is quite dependent on Fan Hai, the elder brother who made all kinds of calculations at the beginning.
also listened to the only needle surprised, in the underworld, the situation of their Fan family, she knew it clearly, who would have thought that the death of a Fan Bin not only did not make Fan Xinyue and Fan Hai tear their faces, but made the relationship between the two close. Duyi was very curious about what had happened in the past few years, and even wanted to know if such a result was connived at by Mu Qiu.
Just like this theft case.

"Uncle, what do you say Mu Qiu wants to do?" When Fan Hai saw He Yanqing, he hurriedly gave up his seat, and couldn't help but ask as soon as he sat down.
He Yanqing was there, not as anxious as his nephew, and took a sip of tea before saying, "What do you want to do?" You tell me? โ
Fan Hai cried and laughed, "I just didn't know why I asked my uncle!" โ
He Yanqing raised her eyelids and glanced at him, "No, you know." โ
Fan Hai's heart sank, and he lowered his eyes and thought about it.
After a long while, he slapped his fist and said, "Her goal is to create a pill?!" โ
He Yanqing smiled with satisfaction and said to this smart nephew: "Okay, it's not stupid." โ
Fan Haidao: "But the Creation Pill has always been in my hands, what's the use of her making this fuss?" โ
He Yanqing put away her indifferent smile, her expression became a little serious, and said, "If it was only Mu Qiu, I wouldn't be afraid of what she would do, but this Mu Guangren ...... We haven't been in contact with him before, so I'm afraid this stubble is on him. โ
Fan Hai also groaned, "When we met before, he behaved very plainly, and he has not come out in his yard these days, and every time Mu Qiu takes the initiative to go to his yard to find him." What can he do? โ
He Yanqing said: "He didn't come out, what about his son?" โ
Fan Hai snorted disdainfully, "Follow behind Fan Xinyue and run to Qingling Garden every day." โ
He Yanqing was not as dismissive as he was, and his expression became more and more ugly.
Fan Hai asked uneasily, "Uncle, what did you think of?" โ
He Yanqing snorted lightly and said, "It seems that we all underestimate the people in that courtyard." โ
Fan Hai frowned, he had sent someone to investigate those people, and there was nothing special about them, only the true identity of the Dan Master turned out to be a poison master worthy of his attention.
These days, the tall man takes the little girl out every day, and tells the people who went out to investigate that they eat here and there every day, and there are no exceptions for so many days. And everyone else was in the yard, either staying in their own house or gossiping in the yard.
"Uncle, you're thinking too much." Fan Hai said hesitantly, "Mu Qiu has only been to see them once since they entered the mansion, and Mu Guangren has never even seen them. Fan Xinyue told me that Mu Qiu only went to see them to appease them a few words, and did not say anything else. Mu Chen was curious about the poisoner's methods, so he ran to that courtyard every day. โ
The more Fan Hai talked, the more he felt that there was nothing suspicious.
He Yanqing also felt that what he said was okay after hearing it, but ......
"Are you sure Fan Xinyue is not as anti-hearted as her mother?" He Yanqing asked.
Fan Hai opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to help Fan Xinyue as a guarantor. Although Fan Xinyue seems to have been enveloped by him over the years, who can see through such a thing as people's hearts.
He Yanqing said: "This is just speculation, you made people keep an eye on the people in that courtyard, as well as Fan Xinyue, you also have to put more effort into testing." โ
Fan Hai nodded, and said half-loudly: "Uncle, why don't you send the Creation Pill to the back mountain now, so that it will be foolproof." โ
He Yanqing shook her head and looked at Fan Haidao: "If your father knew about the existence of the Creation Pill, he would definitely attach great importance to it, and if he knew that Mu Qiu was eyeing the Creation Pill, he would definitely not let her go!" This is your best chance to bring down Mu Qiu, and you must not let it go! โ
Fan Hai thought of his father's tolerance and concession to Mu Qiu over the years, and felt more and more that what his uncle said was right, "I know, uncle." โ
