504 Xu Qing’s Counterattack (1)

“Lead the way,” Xu Qing calmly said.

His actions caused the eyes of the two Law Palace disciples to narrow slightly. They sized up Xu Qing and hesitation rose in their minds. After looking at each other, they gritted their teeth and took out their torture instruments before walking toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing fell into deep thought and the captain raised his brows.

At this moment, the two of them completely confirmed the other party’s motive from this illogical scene.

The captain smiled sinisterly.

Xu Qing didn’t resist. He allowed the two people from the Law Palace to put the torture instruments on him and walked forward.

Because he walked too slowly, a disciple of the Law Palace berated him.

Xu Qing turned his head and cast a deep glance at him. He didn’t speak and followed the two of them into the distance.

Purple Mystic Fairy looked at all of this. She chose to believe that Xu Qing could handle it. However, she still took out a jade slip and contacted her good friend in the county capital. She used her own method to add another guarantee to this matter.

Chen Tinghao was the same. He wasn’t a warm-hearted person. He was just warm-hearted toward the Sword Holders. At this moment, he immediately contacted the Sword Holding Palace and reported this matter.

“Everyone, there’s no need to panic. It’s obvious that the other party wants to slander Little Qing. The motive is too obvious and their methods are crude.”

“If such a crude method can still be effective on Junior Brother, then our many years of work in the Homicide Department will be in vain.”

“This matter will be resolved in three to five days at most. At that time, you guys just have to believe me and do as I say.” The captain looked in the direction Xu Qing had left in and felt anger rising in his heart.

This was the first time he had seen his junior brother being taken away like this in front of him.

At that moment, outside the city, in one of the side halls of the three floating huge palaces where the Law Palace was located, Zhang Siyun was standing carefully at the side with a nervous expression.

No outsider had ever seen him like this.

Zhang Siyun, who was usually gloomy, ruthless, and cold, would only have such an expression in front of someone. That was his mother.

Right now, his mother was sitting at a chair not far away, flipping through the archives of the Law Palace.

She was clearly a human, but her long pitch-black hair, snow-white skin that looked fragile, and that beautiful little face made her look like a fairy in paintings.

She was so beautiful that she seemed to be untainted by mortality.

She didn’t look like Zhang Siyun’s mother at all. She looked more like his elder sister.

She sat there upright, revealing her beautiful curves and her ample chest.

Zhang Siyun didn’t dare to breathe loudly. He lowered his head and waited silently.

After a long time, there was a knock on the door outside the side hall. As the woman’s light voice rang out, the door opened.

The two cultivators who had taken Xu Qing away earlier respectfully walked in and knelt down to the woman.

“Greetings, Lord.”

“Lord, Xu Qing has been sent to prison. Unfortunately, the other party’s sect didn’t resist at all during the process and Xu Qing didn’t resist arrest either… I wonder how we should deal with this next?”

“This small sect isn’t brainless. There’s no need to do anything more. Just lock him up.” The woman put down the dossier and lifted her head. She looked at her two subordinates and calmly spoke.

The two cultivators’ minds stirred uncontrollably when they looked at the woman. Although they saw her often, every time they saw her, they couldn’t help but feel restless.

This superior’s beauty carried a fatal temptation, but they also knew how ruthless the other party was. Hence, they shivered and hurriedly lowered their heads to agree, choosing to leave.

Seeing that his mother’s two subordinates had left, Zhang Siyun couldn’t hide the emotions in his heart. He looked at his mother expectantly.

The origin of this matter was that after he arrived, he told his mother the reason for the defeat in the Yinghuang Province’s Sword Holding Court. This led to the capture of the Eight Sects Alliance’s branch sect.

The entire thing was arranged by his mother. She first captured the branch sect and interrogated them to find out some things that seemed related but weren’t, before she locked onto Xu Qing.

Now that they had captured Xu Qing, Zhang Siyun’s thoughts became lively.

“Mother, Xu Qing has two life lanterns on him…”

“Shut up!” Zhang Siyun’s mother calmly said.

Zhang Siyun’s mind shook and he didn’t dare to speak.

“Your father was a piece of trash. I originally thought that you would be better, but I didn’t expect you to be a piece of trash as well. You can’t even get a Sword Holder Command. In the end, your Grandmaster still had to recruit you directly.”

Zhang Siyun lowered his head, feeling bitter.

Looking at her son, Yao Yunhui sighed softly inwardly. She was indeed a little disappointed in Zhang Siyun.

“Yun’er, you have to take things one step at a time. Xu Qing achieved 100,000 feet long light. The emperor personally chose him and even the Dao bell of the Sword Holding Palace in Fenghai County rang once for him. He is the center of attention. He even holds the prestige of the Yinghuang Province. Do you really think he can be touched casually?”

“Mother, are you going to fish?” Zhang Siyun fell into deep thought.

“At least you’re not fully stupid. That’s right. The first reason I locked him up was to see who would speak up to stop the imprisonment and who would coldly watch. After all, he got boundless light. I don’t believe no one is willing to stand up for him.”

“We can only make a move on Xu Qing right now, when he has just arrived and hasn’t grown his wings yet. Once he really reports for duty, who would dare to rashly provoke him?”

“You can’t be too anxious when doing things.”

“Besides, this matter can’t convict him at all. My second goal in capturing him isn’t to convict him!”

“In three days at most, I’ll let him go on the grounds that the investigation needs more time, and I will release their branch sect people as well.”

“However, because the investigation isn’t over, there will be a stain on his resume that he is suspected of overstepping his bounds.”
