23: Chapter 0023 Your Immortal's Board

People from the Enforcement Hall.

The woman in the painting was the deceased Lvzhu.

They finally couldn't hold back anymore; are they targeting me for the second time?

Gu Huan sneered inwardly.

Looking at the newcomers, he responded unhurriedly.

"Reporting to Senior Brother of the Enforcement Hall, this lowly one does not know the woman in the painting, let alone leaving the sect in her company."

"How bold! You dare not tell the truth upon seeing an Enforcement Senior Brother?" an Enforcement Disciple behind him shouted angrily.

To the side.

Qin Yao was worried that Gu Huan would clash with Liu He.

If a Cauldron offended an Enforcement Disciple, they would be lucky to escape with their life.

"My Cauldron is timid and fearful; how could he possibly know Lvzhu? Have you made a mistake somewhere?"

Lvzhu.

Li Yunlu's maidservant.

She lived on Jile Peak and had absolutely no connection to Gu Huan.

Furthermore, that woman was arrogant; in her eyes, a Cauldron was worth less than a dog and seen as the lowliest existence. Why would they leave the sect together?

"Senior Sister Qin may not be aware, but Lvzhu was violated not long ago, and her body was destroyed to cover the tracks."

"What did you say? How is that possible?"

Qin Yao looked on in disbelief.

That was Li Yunlu's maidservant.

Who would dare do something so outrageous to her?

"We are also acting on orders; we must take him back for interrogation."

"On whose orders? Why the interrogation? He is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining; how could he violate Lvzhu and then kill her?"

"Senior Sister Qin, please do not be agitated. We only have a reasonable suspicion. If he is innocent, he will be fine. After all, someone saw them leaving the sect together that day with their own eyes; we must take this seriously!"

Liu He said with full confidence.

"Who?"

Qin Yao still didn't believe it.

When Zhou Guanlian had actively offered herself, Gu Huan had the willpower to refuse her. Lvzhu was haughty and looked down on the Cauldrons of Hehuan Peak most of all.

How could these two people be traveling together?

There was definitely something fishy going on!

"I saw it with my own eyes. Senior Sister Qin's Cauldron has a twisted heart; he used sweet words to trick Lvzhu into leaving the sect, then violated her and destroyed the evidence."

They looked toward the source of the voice.

Zhou Guanlian approached with a bright, enchanting smile.

Her aura felt muddy and frivolous, as if she had been cultivated by someone.

"Zhou Guanlian, so it was you behind this."

Qin Yao was fuming, her palms itching for a fight, but seeing the two women following behind her, she felt this matter was not simple.

Huang Ju and Bai Lan.

Li Yunlu's personal maidservants had actually joined up with her.

No wonder Zhou Guanlian dared to cause trouble; she had someone backing her up.

"Whether I'm behind this or not isn't for you to say; it's for Senior Brother Liu to decide."

After offering herself to Li Yunlu, Zhou Guanlian had become even more uninhibited, openly throwing flirtatious glances at Liu He in public.

"Senior Sister Qin, this is out of your hands now. Take him away." Liu He's heart was itching with desire, but he tried his best to restrain his nature as he ordered his subordinates to take Gu Huan away.

"Hmph!"

Zhou Guanlian looked down on Qin Yao with a victor's posture, a fierce light flickering in her eyes.

Now that things had come to this, there was no need to fear Qin Yao. Once Gu Huan was taken, she wasn't afraid that Qin Yao wouldn't submit.

"Senior Sister Qin, this is a letter my Young Master wrote for you. Be sure to read it sentence by sentence."

Bai Lan stepped forward and handed over the letter with a proud, smug smile, then turned and left with the others.

Qin Yao tore the letter to shreds without even looking at it and immediately rushed to Liu Zhu's Immortal Cave to seek help.

...

"Open up, it's me."

Qin Yao pounded heavily on the stone door, her face full of murderous intent.

Hearing Qin Yao's voice outside the Immortal Cave, one could imagine how flustered and distracted Liu Zhu was.

"No... way!"

"The Master just left, and Senior Sister Qin is already charging over. Could the secret of us sharing a Cauldron have been leaked?"

Liu Zhu was scared to death; she quickly hid under the bed, covering her mouth and trembling.

"Junior Sister Liu, are you there?"

"I am Qin Yao. I have an urgent matter and need your help."

Qin Yao's patience was nearing its breaking point. Aside from Liu Zhu, she couldn't think of anyone else willing to fight by her side.

Just then.

The stone door rumbled.

Learning that Qin Yao was here to seek help and not to slap her, Liu Zhu immediately appeared.

However.

When the stone door opened and she saw Qin Yao's murderous face, Liu Zhu felt she had been deceived. Her pretty face turned pale, and she fell to the ground in fright, waving her hands back and forth.

"Senior Sister Qin, spare me!"

"It's none of my business, please don't slap me."

Bizarre.

That was Qin Yao's first impression.

Under normal circumstances, she would have certainly teased her, but now the situation was urgent, and she was in no mood for games.

She burst into the Immortal Cave, knelt down before Liu Zhu, and grabbed her wrist.

"Will you listen to me or not?"

"Yes, yes, yes, of course I will."

Liu Zhu was almost crying, her eyes moist, and she didn't dare look her in the eye.

Qin Yao was so fierce from the moment she arrived, looking like she wanted to kill someone; having a guilty conscience, Liu Zhu was naturally scared to death.

"Good, now come with me to kill someone."

"Eh! Kill... kill someone?"

"Correct! Do you dare come with me?"

Realizing Qin Yao wasn't there to kill her, Liu Zhu let out a huge sigh of relief, appearing quite carefree.

"Oh! So it's to accompany Senior Sister to kill someone. I thought you were here to deal with me!"

"You haven't done anything to offend me, why would I deal with you?"

Hearing this.

Liu Zhu giggled and quickly stood up from the ground.

She patted the dust off her backside, then looked up and patted her modest chest, looking like someone who could be relied upon.

"Senior Sister's business is my business."

"Let's go!"

As for what the matter actually was.

Liu Zhu didn't even ask.

Anyway, Qin Yao had saved her life once; she would treat this as paying her back.

Seeing this, Qin Yao smiled slightly and led the oblivious Liu Zhu toward the Enforcement Hall.

Some time later.

When the two arrived at the Enforcement Hall.

Liu Zhu looked at the place they were about to attack and drew her sword, looking around in bewilderment.

"Senior Sister Qin, did we come to the wrong place?"

"No mistake, this is the place. Let's move!"

"Eh! Senior Sister, please don't be foolish. This is the Enforcement Hall!"

Liu Zhu was about to break down.

She never would have imagined that Qin Yao would choose to attack this place, and with just the two of them?

"I am perfectly clear-headed. We are going to attack this place and rescue him."

Gu Huan was innocent.

The longer he stayed here, the more danger he was in.

Therefore, the matter had to be escalated, preferably to the point of alerting the high-level officials.

However, the consequences of doing so were severe; she and Liu Zhu would also face judgment from the Enforcement Hall. Whether the punishment was heavy, she no longer cared.

"Wait!"

"If it's just to save someone, there's no need for this!"

Liu Zhu didn't know that Gu Huan had been captured by the Enforcement Hall Disciples; otherwise, she would have been even more frantic.

At this moment, she remained calm because she didn't want to see Qin Yao risk her life; they should plan before acting.

Seeing a hint of hesitation in Qin Yao's heart, Liu Zhu quickly dragged her to a deserted corner to discuss a more secure decision.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The two were clear-headed, their eyes shining.

"Junior Sister Liu, I didn't think that despite looking a bit slow, you could come up with such a sound plan. I admire you," Qin Yao praised from the bottom of her heart.

Liu Zhu rubbed her nose.

She didn't feel unhappy about Qin Yao calling her slow; instead, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Hall Master Su once said that the Enforcement Hall is a gold-swallowing beast, and every criminal has a price. Let's first try to redeem him with Spirit Stones. If we can get him back, that's best; if not, we'll spread rumors everywhere about them being corrupt. I don't believe those people at the top will still be able to sit still."

Liu Zhu was full of pride.

Doing this would avoid the major crime of attacking the Enforcement Hall while still making a scene, achieving Qin Yao's goal of escalating the situation.

Even if they were judged by the Enforcement Hall.

It would only be for the crime of spreading rumors, which was much lighter than the previous one.

"Good, good, good, you're really something. Let's go redeem him!"

"By the way, Senior Sister, who are you redeeming?"

Liu Zhu asked casually as she followed Qin Yao into the Enforcement Hall.

"My Cauldron."

"Who?"

"Gu Huan."

"Your Immortal ancestors!"

Liu Zhu flew into a rage, her fair face turning bright red, her murderous intent even heavier than Qin Yao's.
