Chapter 467: Chapter 465: Ten Years Ago, It Was Her! _1
 

“Shadow Nine, Shadow Ten, come down. I have orders for you.”

“Thump, thump.”

Two people fell from the tree, and the two Shadow Guards’ cheeks turned red as they clumsily got up from the ground.

How miserable!

They had just hidden in the tree when the young lady discovered them.

Could the young lady have supernatural eyesight?

Lin Qingluo smiled sweetly, seemingly accustomed to the awkwardness of the Shadow Guards.

“You two, guard Xue Ji’s courtyard and do not let anyone get close.”

“Yes.”

The two Shadow Guards bowed their heads to obey the order, leaped onto the tree branches, and vanished from sight.

“The moon is so bright tonight!”

Lin Qingluo looked up at the round moon hanging in the sky like a silver plate, her eyes curved, and her figure disappeared in place.

In a moment, at the courtyard where Xue Ji resided.

A red and a green figure, like phantoms, chased each other and fought fiercely.

The fierce palm winds slashed the flowers and plants in the courtyard in half, leaving a mess in an instant.

The red figure gradually fell behind and was struck in the chest by the opponent, spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling to the ground.

“Xue Ji, you’ve lost.”

Lin Qingluo triumphed with one move, did not pursue, and floated gracefully onto the eaves, her eyes cold and frosty.

“The seventh-ranked assassin in Jianghu, not that impressive, a bit overrated.”

“Did you spend too much time training in the backyard, or were you just not that talented, only winning over others by looking enchanting, uttering vicious words, and sending people to their doom?”

“Eldest Miss, Xue Ji doesn’t understand what you mean.”

The red-clothed woman wiped a streak of blood from the corner of her mouth, forcing herself to get up from the ground, her eyes briefly flustered.

“You don’t understand?”

Lin Qingluo sneered, “How could Aunt Xue, a mere servant, not versed in martial arts at all, manage to swap a newborn baby girl and smuggle her out of the Duke of Zhen’s residence under the watchful eyes of the Shadow Guards? Could she have done it without someone helping her in secret?”

“Ten years ago, it was you who covertly assisted, allowing the servant girl to avoid the surveillance of the Shadow Guards and escape from the Duke of Zhen’s house.”

“Eldest Miss, ten years ago, Xue Ji had not entered the house yet. How could I have helped Aunt Xue?”

Xue Ji’s expression turned frantic, and a layer of fine sweat beads appeared on her forehead.

“It’s even more convenient not to enter the house, so you can act in secret without being suspected.”

Lin Qingluo scoffed, “Do you really think you can deceive everyone and keep the secret hidden forever without anyone finding out?”

“You, what are you talking about, what secret, I have no secret.”

Xue Ji’s face suddenly turned ashen, and her breathing grew rapid.

“Xue Ji, considering you are the deputy envoy of the Thousand-Mechanism Pavilion, this young lady will spare your life.”

Lin Qingluo’s gaze was icy, “Leave the Duke of Zhen’s residence now, and I will keep your secret and not let my father know. For the sake of the beautiful impression you left and the multiple times you saved him, consider it your reward.”

“Eldest Miss, why do you slander Xue Ji? Xue Ji isn’t aware of the events that occurred ten years ago.”

Xue Ji’s eyes suddenly flashed menacingly, and her face was full of resentment.

“Whether you know or not, you know in your heart.”

Lin Qingluo’s gaze darkened, her killing intent palpable, “I’ll give you one Shichen to think it over. If you’re still here after one Shichen, this young lady will not be merciful.”

“Even if Luo Zhan and I have some affection, I won’t allow you to stay!”

“Chirp, chirp.”

Little Kingfisher stood on the eaves, stealthily watching the show. Hearing this, it happily flapped its wings and chirped crisply.

The master is so cool!

It’s no wonder that this divine beast baby admires her!

With just a few words, she cornered the treacherous and vicious woman.

If she still dares to deny it, the information I’ve discovered is absolutely true and reliable!
