Boom!
Su Xiaoxiao’s pupils shrank sharply.
The next second, the innocent and adorable expression on her face vanished, replaced by a playful smirk as she asked Ye Qiu, “When did you start suspecting me?”
Finally admitting it?
Ye Qiu released Su Xiaoxiao’s throat and said, “From the first day you joined the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, I had my suspicions.”
“At that time, the department was on the verge of closing, its performance consistently at the bottom among all the hospital’s departments. There was no future in working here. Yet you, a top graduate from a medical university, who had interned at Beijing’s Xiehe Hospital and is quite attractive, chose to come to this department?”
“There are only three possible reasons for this: first, you have a special attachment to Jiangzhou; second, you came to Jiangzhou Hospital with an ulterior motive; third, you’re out of your mind.”
Ye Qiu continued, “I observed you for a while, and your mind seems perfectly fine.”
“You’ve never lived in Jiangzhou before and have no special attachment to it.”
“Therefore, the only explanation is that you came to Jiangzhou Hospital with a purpose.”
“After joining the department, you always put on an innocent and cute act, but you used your looks to deliberately get close to me, even trying to seduce me.”
“That deepened my suspicions.”
“But what really convinced me something was off was that trip to Mogancun.”
“Ge Dazhuang was bitten by a snake twice, and on the way back, I was attacked. All of this is connected to you.”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled, “That’s just your suspicion. You have no evidence proving I’m with the Witch God Sect.”
Ye Qiu sneered, “I have another identity, which I’m sure you know about—I’m with the Hades Hall.”
“When I returned from Mogancun, I had the Hades Hall investigate you and the assassins who attacked me.”
“Those assassins were from the Witch God Sect.”
“And you, despite perfectly forging your identity, were still traced by the Hades Hall. They found clues pointing to your origins in Miaojiang.”
“They also discovered that the Saintess of the Witch God Sect had been absent for some time.”
“That’s when I suspected you were the Saintess.”
“And before you came, I wiped out the Witch God Sect’s Jiangzhou branch and took over as the boss of Jiangzhou, replacing Dragon King. I guessed your purpose in coming here was to kill me.”
Sigh!
Su Xiaoxiao sighed and said, “I thought I could fool everyone, but you saw through me.”
“Yes, I am the Saintess of the Witch God Sect.”
“After spending this time with you, honestly, Ye Qiu, I admire you. You’re righteous, your medical skills are exceptional, and you’re a rare talent.”
“How about joining the Witch God Sect?”
“If you join, I can offer myself to you. Even the fact that you killed so many of our people before—I can let that go.”
Ye Qiu found it amusing, “Su Xiaoxiao, at a time like this, you’re still trying to recruit me to the Witch God Sect? Are you out of your mind?”
“I didn’t expose you earlier because I thought you were talented too. Your medical skills are impressive, and you’ve saved many patients. Someone like you shouldn’t be mixed up with the evildoers of the Witch God Sect.”
“Now, I want you to tell me everything about the Witch God Sect’s headquarters in detail. If you turn over a new leaf, I can let your past slide.”
Su Xiaoxiao giggled, “And if I don’t tell you?”
“Then you’re as good as dead,” Ye Qiu said, exuding a chilling killing intent.
“What, you really want to kill me?” Su Xiaoxiao puffed out her chest, saying seductively, “I’m so cute, can you bear to kill me?”
“If you join the Witch God Sect, I can serve you.”
“Ye Qiu, think about it…”
“Shut up!” Ye Qiu roared, “Su Xiaoxiao, tell me about the Witch God Sect’s headquarters, now!”
Instantly, Su Xiaoxiao put on a pitiful expression again, leaning close to Ye Qiu, pressing against his body, and saying softly, “Don’t be so harsh, you’re scaring me…”
Swoosh!
A one-foot-long red curved blade slid out from Su Xiaoxiao’s sleeve, thrusting toward Ye Qiu’s throat.
“Go to hell!”
A cold glint flashed in Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes as she said, “I’ll avenge the brothers of the Witch God Sect who died by your hand.”
Clang—
The blade struck Ye Qiu’s throat, producing a crisp sound, as if hitting metal.
Huh?
Su Xiaoxiao’s brow furrowed, and she applied more force.
However, Ye Qiu’s throat was like steel—no matter how hard she tried, the blade wouldn’t penetrate.
How is this possible?
Su Xiaoxiao’s expression changed.
“You’re not the only one from the Witch God Sect who wants me dead. I have plenty of enemies. If I were that easy to kill, I wouldn’t be standing here now.”
Ye Qiu said coldly, “This is your last chance. Tell me everything you know, and I’ll spare your life.”
“Fine, I’ll talk,” Su Xiaoxiao said obediently, putting away the blade. “There’s a lot about the Witch God Sect. What do you want to hear?”
Ye Qiu asked, “How many experts are at the Witch God Sect’s headquarters?”
Su Xiaoxiao replied, “The Witch God Sect has many experts, a total of…”
Whoosh!
Before she finished, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly bolted toward the door, trying to escape.
Her speed was impressive, but in Ye Qiu’s eyes, she was as slow as an ant.
In a flash, Ye Qiu moved faster, blocking the doorway.
Seeing escape was impossible, Su Xiaoxiao quickly stepped back three paces, pulled a white vial from her pocket, and opened it. A red spider crawled out.
The spider was the size of a fingernail, blood-red, with a triangular head. Its small eyes glared at Ye Qiu, cold and ferocious.
“A gu insect!”
Ye Qiu recognized it instantly.
Su Xiaoxiao said coldly, “Ye Qiu, I didn’t want to kill you, but since you’re leaving me no way out, don’t blame me.”
“You think that thing can kill me? Su Xiaoxiao, don’t be naive,” Ye Qiu said, raising his hand and unleashing a Six Meridians Divine Sword.
Swish!
The sword qi pierced the air, striking the red spider, instantly turning it into a pulp.
Immediately after, Su Xiaoxiao spat out a mouthful of blood, her fair face turning deathly pale.
This gu insect had been fed with her own blood, so its death caused her to suffer a backlash.
Ye Qiu said, “Are you going to tell me about the Witch God Sect or not?”
Su Xiaoxiao snorted, “You’ll never get a single word about the Witch God Sect from me.”
“You’re young, but you’ve got a tough mouth. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Ye Qiu stepped forward, appearing in front of Su Xiaoxiao in an instant.
Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t one to sit idly by. Sensing danger, she clenched her fist and swung at Ye Qiu.
Unfortunately, her skills were no match for Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu threw a punch, brimming with killing intent.
