Chapter 30

Qi Xue trembled all over. After only a moment’s hesitation, she confessed everything. “Your Highness. it was my sister who told me to do this.”
Ye Lixiao had some impression of Qi Xue, she was the daughter of the Right Chancellor, and her sister was Qi Xuan.
Last night, Qi Xuan had sent someone to assassinate Xing Luo. Today, she had her own sister attack Xing Luo.
Ye Lixiao had been busy handling matters in the Demon Realm all morning. He wanted to go to the Ghost Realm quickly to help Xing Luo safeguard the Demon World, which was why he hadn’t immediately dealt with Qi Xuan. He hadn’t expected her to be so eager to court death, but Ye Lixiao was willing to grant her wish.
Ye Lixiao said, “Go fetch your sister.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Qi Xue ignored the pain coursing through her body and scrambled to her feet, using a teleportation talisman to bring Qi Xuan over as quickly as possible.
Soon, Qi Xuan and Qi Xue appeared together in front of Ye Lixiao, Qi Xue’s face slightly red and swollen from the earlier slap by her sister.
On the way over, Qi Xuan already knew what had happened, and that Qi Xue had confessed. In anger, she had slapped her twice.
Qi Xuan knew that Ye Lixiao calling her here most likely meant he intended to settle accounts with her.
However, previously when Cheng Xinyan had caused trouble for Xing Luo, she had only been stripped of her cultivation. Qi Xue hadn’t been directly wiped out by Ye Lixiao either, which showed he still considered the dignity of the Right Chancellor’s family, at most, he would just strip their cultivation.
The moment she appeared, Qi Xuan immediately knelt. “Your Highness! I acted in a moment of confusion! I shouldn’t have ordered my little sister to harm Miss Luo! Actually, I was also acting on someone else’s orders! I lost my mind for a moment! It was Cheng Xinyan, because of Miss Luo, she had her cultivation stripped by Your Highness, and she has been holding a grudge ever since. I tried to help her out of good intentions, but accidentally got manipulated by her.”
“So you’re saying that last night you sent someone to assassinate me, also under Cheng Xinyan’s orders?” Xing Luo’s gaze was icy as she glared at Qi Xuan.
“Assassinate? What assassination?” Qi Xuan was startled inwardly but feigned ignorance on her face. For some reason, she felt the same kind of pressure from Xing Luo that she only ever felt when facing Ye Lixiao. How could a mere cat demon have such a powerful aura?
Before she could speak further, Ye Lixiao tossed the Qi family’s token in front of her, cutting off Qi Xuan’s excuses mid-air.
Qi Xuan hurriedly tried to shift the blame. “It was all Cheng Xinyan who instructed me to do this!”
Hearing this, Xing Luo scoffed coldly. “All of you are daughters of the ministerial families, yet you let Cheng Xinyan pull your strings? You really didn’t inherit a shred of your father’s intelligence.”
Xing Luo knew perfectly well that Qi Xuan was saying this just to distance herself from responsibility.
Qi Xuan clenched her teeth. Xing Luo was calling her stupid, if Ye Lixiao weren’t protecting Xing Luo, she would have already rushed over to teach this insolent little brat a lesson!
Xing Luo asked, “Your Highness, what do you think should be done?”
She was curious to see how far Ye Lixiao would go for her. His decision would also confirm whether he truly disliked her or not.
Ye Lixiao naturally understood that Qi Xuan’s words were meant to pin all the blame on Cheng Xinyan to save herself.
Neither Cheng Xinyan nor the Qi sisters were innocent. Both had harmful intentions, and once discovered, they immediately turned on each other.
Ye Lixiao said coldly, “Since all are guilty, then not a single one will be spared.”
