"Miss, do you really believe what that kid says?" After cleaning up the blood stains in the hall, Yanyu asked a little unwillingly.

Xie Qingning was putting on a cloak and planning to go to the guest room in the backyard to be sealed by the frozen Xie Tan, and asked in surprise, "What?" Do you think he's lying? ”

"If the fourth master really cares about you, why would you let people do such a sneaky thing? He can ask the head of the house and meet you in public. ”

"Well, you're right." Xie Qingning had already fastened his cloak, turned around and walked out of the house, Yanyu was stunned for a moment before asking, "Miss, it's so late, it's more exposed, where are you going?" ”

"I'll go to the backyard and take a look, you guys can sleep first, and leave me alone." Xie Qingning didn't look back, and his figure was quickly drowned in darkness.

It was not difficult to use spells to arrange the enchantment, but the difficulty was that she was not cultivating enough now, and she had to use the power of the spirit jade to achieve the seal. But in this way, the aura fluctuations caused by Feng Ningyu are easy to be noticed, which is what she is most worried about.

Fortunately, the location of the Bamboo Courtyard is remote, and Xie Tan is a disciple of the side branch who is not valued by the Xie clan, even if he participates in the dispute of the "Qunying Pavilion", except for Xie Huazhao, no one is willing to stand up for him, let alone care about his life or death. At this time, it was the middle of the night, and no one paid attention to the situation here.

It took Xie Qingning half an hour to seal the entire room into an ice cellar using a water spell, so as to ensure that the ice on Xie Tan's body would not melt with the change of weather, but when she returned from the backyard, she heard a slight sound in the bamboo forest, as if someone was walking around, and the sound of the upper of the shoe rubbing against the grass was very clear in the ears of a monk like her.

She remembered that Fan Mo mentioned that someone wanted to snatch her and kill the treasure, her heart moved slightly, and she quietly climbed out of the courtyard wall in the backyard, and slowly approached the forest under the cover of night, and saw several black-clothed people walking around the forest from a distance, looking up in the direction of the bamboo courtyard from time to time, and really planning to do bad things.

After Xie Qingning thought about it, his body swept away as quickly as the wind, and when the man in black had not yet reacted, he slashed at the back of one of them with a knife, he snorted and fell to the ground, and the other three were stunned and then besieged and went up, Xie Qingning turned around and swept the bamboo branch above his head, and at the same time, ten fingers condensed flowers, and three rays of water fell from the sky, and the three of them were condensed into ice cubes and couldn't move.

Her actions were like lightning and flint, so fast that people couldn't react, all the four men in black were only hit by a snap of their fingers, and fortunately, these four people were just ordinary people and had no cultivation, otherwise she would not have been able to succeed so quickly.

After figuring out this layer, she floated down from the bamboo branch, her phoenix eyes raised slightly, and glanced at the three black-clothed people who were frozen in ice, they were all covered with facial scarves, only revealing frightened and frightened eyes, and her right hand was still raised in the air, holding a sharp sword in her palm, which looked a little funny.

Xie Qingning raised his hand to brush away the messy hair that was blown away by the wind, and asked leisurely, "If any of you are willing to tell me who sent you here and what is the purpose of lurking outside the bamboo courtyard for a few days, I can consider sparing his life." ”

Although the three of them were frozen, their eyes could turn, and they all turned around when they heard the words, which showed that they were not outlaws who did not care for their lives.

"This winter night is extremely cold," Xie Qingning deliberately tightened his cloak and pretended to tremble and whispered softly, "You might as well guess, if you are frozen until dawn, will it turn into three beautiful icicles, just enough to decorate this bleak bamboo forest?" ”

Hearing this, the three of them shrank their pupils, and the horror in their eyes was even worse.

"Well, if any of you will answer my question, ...... Look at the sky. As soon as her words fell, the three of them looked towards the sky almost at the same time, fortunately, there was a difference in order, otherwise Xie Qingning would really not be able to decide.

She stretched out her hand to the man in the middle, "Your reaction speed is fast, and you can save your own life at a critical moment." As soon as the words fell, a flame erupted from her palm, melting the ice around the man in black inch by inch, and when it was completely gone, he also collapsed and fell to the ground, drenched in water, his face was blue from the cold, and his body was trembling.

However, he looked at Xie Qingning's gaze even more frightened, he didn't care that his limbs were frozen, and he desperately moved in the grass, as if he just wanted to stay farther away from this girl to be safe.

"What? You're scared of me? Xie Qingning had already collected the flames, patted his palms, walked up to him and raised his eyebrows and asked.

The man's body stiffened, and he said with a sad face, "Yes...... It was the second master who ordered us to come and find something, saying that you stole it from his courtyard, Miss, so that we must find it no matter what, and if you dare to stop it, we will kill it...... No mercy! ”

"What a killing!" Xie Qingning's eyes were slightly cold, he snorted lightly, but his face did not change and slowly squatted in front of him and asked, "Then second uncle, did he tell you what you were looking for?" ”

The man in black had seen her cruelty and cruelty, and also realized that she was actually a cultivator of the dual spirit roots of water and fire against the sky, and she had already broken her heart and soul, and her heart was broken, so she replied without hesitation, "No...... No, but he gave us a ...... drawing. ”

Before his words fell, his pupils suddenly shrank, Xie Qingning felt the wind in the back of his head, and before he could think about it, he backpalmed out a golden thunderbolt, and the surroundings suddenly brightened, and there was a muffled snort in his ears and the sound of a blunt object falling heavily on the grass, Xie Qingning slowly turned around, and saw that it was the man in black who was knocked unconscious by her before quietly woke up and planned to sneak attack, fortunately, she reacted very quickly, otherwise it would really be his way.

She thought back to the actions of the man in black and slowly stood up.

Looking at the corpse of the black-smoked man who had been hit by a thunderbolt and was scorched black and still emitting green smoke, she knew that these four black-clothed people could not be kept, otherwise the news that she was carrying the three spiritual roots of gold, water, and fire would definitely spread, and it would not be beneficial to her safety at all.

Therefore, she first searched for the drawings from the man in black, and before she had time to take a closer look at what magic weapon was drawn on the paper, she condensed an ice blade from the palm of her hand, stabbed it into his heart cleanly, and released a fire to burn the other two black-clothed people who had already frozen and the black-clothed man who was dead next to him into flying ashes.
