I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 254 Provocation
"Second Master, the three young masters have been sent back with drums and gongs as ordered by the young lady."

In the study, Cheng Kang, the steward of the Xu residence, stood with his back bent, recalling the experience of sending Wu Qingyun and the other two back home. He still felt a lingering fear in his heart, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Xu Yonghuan sat at the desk, looking at the butler Cheng Kang sweating profusely. He pursed his lips and asked, "What are the reactions of the three people in the mansion? Also, did you convey Fang Fu's message to you?"

Cheng Kang wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied respectfully, "Originally, Master Quan from the master's house had already sent people to surround my group, but after I told the second young lady what she said, Master Quan's face immediately changed, and he told me to get out of here!"

"As for Lord Wu's residence..." Cheng Kang bowed even lower, "I didn't dare to enter the residence. After placing the bodies of Master Wu and Mr. Ji at the door, I told the guards at the door what the young lady said, and then left in a hurry."

"As for Lord Feng's residence..." Cheng Kang slowly raised his head with a puzzled look on his face, "After I escorted Master Zhang to his residence, Lord Feng happened to be there. Not only did he not embarrass me, but he personally escorted me out of the residence and asked me to tell the young lady that he would come to visit her in person soon?"

The more Cheng Kang spoke, the more confused he became. He couldn't figure out what was going on. He thought that Prefect Feng's attitude was too lenient.

After hearing this, Xu Yonghuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, then he leaned back on the carved chair back and gently waved his hand, motioning Cheng Kang to go out first.

Just as Cheng Kang bowed and retreated to the door of the study, he suddenly heard Xu Yonghuan's voice: "Go and tell the young lady what happened to the three of them at their house."

"Yes!"

Cheng Kang stepped out of the study and just closed the door when he saw the third master Xu Yongding rushing over, so he bowed quickly.

Xu Yongding was in a hurry and didn't even look at Cheng Kang. He pushed open the door of the study and rushed in.

"Second brother, I heard that Qingzhuo was killed in our house today. Could it be Fangfu who did it?" Xu Yongding shouted at Xu Yonghuan as soon as he entered the room.

Xu Yonghuan sat up straight instantly, first glanced at his brother with impatience, then said in a deep voice: "Look at you in such a hurry, sit down and talk first, where have you been today when you were not in the mansion?"

Xu Yongding sat down on the nearest chair and replied, "I was discussing something with the second brother Heng from the Nan Mansion. As soon as I sat down, I heard the servants from the Nan Mansion come over and ask the second brother Heng to go back, saying that Xu Qingzhuo was abolished in our mansion!"

"Second brother!" Xu Yongding raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yonghuan nervously, "What happened?"

Xu Yonghuan sighed helplessly: "Today, Qingzhuo, Lord Wu and the two sons of Lord Feng's family suddenly came to our house and happened to run into Miss Nineteen. Wu Qingyun was so dirty that Miss Nineteen slapped them each in the face."

"As a result, the boy surnamed Wu was followed by an expert who almost injured Miss Nineteen, and then Fang Fu came out..."

Xu Yonghuan paused suddenly, then looked at Xu Yongding with his eyes fixed, and then slowly said: "The masters around Wu Qingyun died at the hands of Fang Fu, and those three guys, including Qing Zhuo, had their limbs crippled by Miss Nineteen."

Then he pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It was Fang Fu's instruction."

"what!"

Xu Yongding stood up in shock!
He never expected that just when he went out to meet a friend, such a big thing would happen in his house, and even someone died!

"Where's Fang Fu?" Xu Yongding's eyes turned, and he thought of Liu Qi, and asked hurriedly, "Is she injured?"

Xu Yonghuan's eyes darkened immediately when he heard this!
Don't you have any idea how good your daughter's martial arts are?
Xu Yonghuan curled his lips: "Fang Fu should be in Miss Zhou's room now...playing chess!"

……

There is a quiet courtyard on the west side of the Xu Mansion, where Zhou Mi and Liu Shijiu were accommodated.

This small courtyard is only separated from the courtyard where Liu Qi lives by a long corridor.

In the main house of the courtyard, Liu Qi and Zhou Mi sat facing each other with a chessboard placed in front of them.

Zhou Mi held a white chess piece in her hand, frowning and staring at the chessboard. After struggling for a moment, she opened her red lips and asked, "Has the problem of the killing backlash been solved?"

Liu Qi sat straight as a pine tree, his hands folded in front of him, his eyes fixed on the chessboard, and he replied without raising his head: "It's just temporarily suppressed. How did you see that?"

"I guessed!" Zhou Mi replied, then raised her eyes and smiled, "Well, Liu Nineteen just told me that when you killed someone, she didn't even see when you did it, and she didn't even feel any fluctuations in your energy. She only heard the faint sound of the knife."

"It seems that you can already use the killing intent freely."

Seeing that Liu Qi did not respond, Zhou Mi continued with a smile, "I thought you would restrain your murderous aura after returning to the Xu family. Why did you suddenly start a killing spree at home today?"

Zhou Mi turned her eyes and looked outside the house: "Nineteen is very happy today. She said that she hasn't been so happy for a long time since she has been with you."

When Liu Qi heard Zhou Mi mention Liu Nineteen, he frowned slightly and then said softly: "She... forget it. It's not something that can be changed overnight after so many years of being influenced by her. I just hope she won't regret it in the future."

To a certain extent, Nineteen was no less ruthless than himself. The reason why Nineteen was not notorious was purely because her martial arts limited her.

If Liu Qi's attitude towards the world is indifferent, although he does not take human life seriously, he will not find irrelevant people annoying.

Liu Shijiu is different. Madam Mei’s fabricated background and the brainwashing she received since childhood have distorted her character.

If Liu Qi hadn't been there to stop him, Liu Nineteen would really have killed someone just because the food wasn't to his liking.

Zhou Mi's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said softly, "Your high-profile move today is equivalent to announcing to the world that you, Liu Qi, are Xu Fangfu, the daughter of the Xu family. Have you ever thought about how the Xu family will deal with themselves in the future?"

"It's up to the Xu family to decide how to deal with themselves. I've told them countless times that bringing me back to the Xu family will cause a lot of trouble." Liu Qi said calmly, "It's because they can't let go, not because I did it on purpose."

She paused and said after a moment's silence: "At least, I can help them get revenge."

Zhou Mi's eyes flickered slightly: "Including your parents?"

Liu Qi nodded without hesitation: "In the long run, people will die eventually. If they don't die at the hands of others, they will die at the hands of God."

After saying that, Liu Qi raised his eyes and said to Zhou Mi coldly: "It's your turn now."

Zhou Mi's cheeks flushed instantly, and then she gently threw the white piece in her hand into the chess box, and couldn't help but said angrily: "If you use martial arts to erase the chess pieces again, I will definitely overturn this chessboard!"

Liu Qi's eyes moved slightly when he heard that, and then a white piece on the chessboard disappeared out of thin air. Only when he looked closely did he realize that at the moment the chess piece disappeared, it seemed as if a ball of powder dissipated into the air.

Liu Qi said calmly, "You can also wipe the chess piece."

Zhou Mi took a deep breath after hearing that, and as her chest rose and fell, her anger finally subsided. Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.

"Miss, Miss Zhou." Butler Cheng Kang came in and saluted the two. He told Liu Qi how he sent Wu Qingyun and the other two back home today, and what happened to each of them at their homes.

Liu Qi immediately asked thoughtfully: "Who is the Master Quan you just mentioned?"

Cheng Kang immediately replied respectfully, "Master Quan is the head of the third branch of the main family. His full name is Xu Yongquan. He is well-known for his ability to make money. Now, the livelihoods of hundreds of people in the main family all depend on the business of the third branch."

Liu Qi fell into deep thought after hearing this, and at the same time waved his hand, signaling Cheng Kang to step back first.

When only Liu Qi and Zhou Mi were left in the room, Zhou Mi couldn't help but ask, "But what's the problem with Xu Yongquan?"

Liu Qi: "I just have a little doubt."

Zhou Mi frowned when she heard that, but after a moment her brows relaxed and she whispered, "Are you planning to alert the enemy today?"

Seeing that Zhou Mi had guessed his thoughts, Liu Qi nodded and said, "Not entirely, but rather than letting these evil spirits sneak around in the dark, it would be better to think of a way to lure them out."

The most important point that Liu Qi did not say was that she wanted to know which force in Qingjiang Prefecture the knife sharpening old man was going to use to deal with him!

Although Liu Qi had not come into contact with the knife-sharpening old man too many times in the Black Prison Gate, after several actions, he had more or less seen through the knife-sharpening old man's character.

This old fellow likes to kill people by borrowing another's knife, and he acts extremely cautiously. He will never show up unless he is absolutely sure.

The death of Ye Su, the guest official of the Jinma Chamber of Commerce, is the best proof!

Many things have happened since she reunited with her parents in Baishui County, such as Wei Xin suddenly coming to Baishui County to attack Xu Yongding, and Xu Qingzhuo, Wu Qingyun and the other two coming to her house today.

It seems reasonable, but the old man who sharpens the knife likes to design things that are reasonable yet unexpected.

You must know that when she transformed herself into Liu Qiniang and sneaked into the Liu Mansion in the capital, it was the masterpiece of the old man sharpening the knife!
To fight against a cunning and treacherous person like the old man sharpening the knife, you have to play like the current game of chess, pull the opponent to the area where you are good at, and then kill him with one knife!

"Where's Nineteen?" Liu Qi turned his eyes and looked outside the house.

Zhou Mi smiled and replied: "She took the knife to the training ground just after she came back. It seems that she suffered a great loss today!"

Of course, he didn't suffer much of a loss. Ji Chang's martial arts skills were just at the first-rate level. In the small place of Qingjiang Prefecture, he could be said to be one of the best, but if you look at the entire martial arts world, that's not good enough.

Liu Nineteen has already practiced the Ancient Liu Heart Method to the sixth level, and is only one step away from the seventh level of the first-rate realm.

Gu Liu's mental method was derived from Yi Mu Shen Jue. After being deleted and modified, although it no longer had the disadvantage of Yi Mu Shen Jue's same source attraction, it also completely became an ordinary mental method. After practicing to the seventh level, the internal strength cultivation has only reached the level of a first-class master.

According to Liu Qi's estimation, Liu Nineteen should be able to break through to the seventh level of the Ancient Liu Heart Method within half a year at the shortest, or three years at the slowest, and successfully become one of the top masters.

Even three years later, Liu Nineteen, who was younger than Liu Qi, was only in his early twenties and was definitely considered a leader among the younger generation.

As long as you don’t compare yourself with Liu Qi and the core disciples of those martial arts giants!

Liu Qi's elder brother Xu Qinghuai, who was born under the same father and mother, was spotted by Master Mu Shi when he was young. With the blessing of the Qingcheng Sect's thousand-year-old martial arts heritage, he was able to become a top-notch martial artist in his early twenties.

Now 25 years old, Xu Qinghuai is definitely a leader among the younger generation in Qingcheng Sect.

……

Liu Qi originally wanted to go to the training ground to watch Liu Shijiu practice swordplay, but on his way out he ran into Xu Yongding and Tao.

The couple naturally came here because of what happened in the mansion today.

Fortunately, they had already witnessed Liu Qi's methods when they were in Baishui County, so this time they came here except to see with their own eyes whether Liu Qi was safe or not, they didn't say much. They just mentioned that their aunt Fang seemed a little scared.

My aunt Fang knew no martial arts and had no interest in the affairs of the martial arts world. So even though her husband and second son were both in the martial arts world, Fang knew nothing about it.

Now, after hearing that Liu Qi first killed someone and then allowed the people around him to cripple Xu Qingzhuo, Zhang Xin and Wu Qingyun, he was directly frightened.

Xu Qingtao, who also knew no martial arts, did not react so strongly.

Seeing Liu Qi remained silent, Tao thought she was troubled by Fang, so she tried to comfort her, "Everything will be fine after your great uncle comes back. Your great aunt has never been willing to step on an ant in her life, so it's hard for her to accept that you killed someone."

Liu Qi remained silent for this reason. She just suddenly thought that she should ask all the Xu family members outside to return to Qingjiang Mansion.

Uncle Xu Yongyuan is said to be on his way back.

The second brother Xu Qingjiang works for the Changfeng Escort Agency.

He Wentian, the chief escort of Changfeng Escort Agency, is one of the "Seven Stars", and Changfeng Escort Agency itself is also a giant in the underworld. So it seems that Xu Qingjiang is relatively safe.

correct!

There is one more person.

Eldest brother Xu Qinghao, father of Xu Xinning and Xu Xianzheng, is not in the Xu Mansion either!
After meeting Xu Yongding and his wife, it was almost time for lunch.

When Liu Qi was walking along the corridor of the mansion with her parents, she suddenly heard a subtle sound. She instantly raised her left hand to her side, and gently pinched with her index and middle fingers, and a piece of paper rolled into a round stick suddenly came into her sight.

Xu Yongding and Tao on the side were both surprised.

Liu Qi opened it without hesitation, and saw three lines of words written on the paper: "West Gate, thirty miles, Xiaozheng Village."

When her eyes swept over the last word, she felt her heart skip a beat, and then the internal energy in her body churned.

Master!

And he is a top master!

The other party did not hide his aura at all. Liu Qi did not need to search hard. He just locked his eyes on the person. Then a gleam of light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and a trace of pale aura disappeared in an instant!
Xiu Shaoyang stood on the eaves with his hands behind his back, looking indifferently at the slightly blurry figure in the distance. But when Liu Qi turned his head to look, he heard a "sizzle" sound like an electric current passing through his eyes, and then ripples appeared on his calm face. Then he opened his eyes slightly and muttered to himself: "How is it possible..."
