The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 346 - 342 The Clues Are Cut Off

All seemed to still in this moment between heaven and earth.

Several silver needles floated motionless in midair.

The only thing moving was an ethereal figure, slowly ascending the stairs effortlessly.

Ruo Xuan turned her head towards Xuanyuan Que, "Brother Xuanyuan, how did you come?"

Xuanyuan Que waved his sleeve.

Time resumed its flow.

The onlookers saw the Ninth Prince, dressed in a white brocade robe, appear suddenly from around the corner and, with the speed of lightning, arrived before them, waving his sleeve gently!

The silver needles instantly shot towards the mother and daughter.

The two women collapsed instantly.

The guards of the Marquis Mansion were utterly astonished!

The Qinggong skills of the Ninth Prince had become so divine!

Such a distance, yet he covered it instantly, it was almost no different from Teleportation.

Zhou Ludong had just shielded Yan Jiaojiao in his arms, and seeing the silver needles hit the two women, he then released her.

He too was amazed by Xuanyuan Que’s Qinggong skills.

It was the speed of lightning.

Seeing the women fall upon being hit by the silver needles, Yan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but say, "Such venomous hearts, take them to Shuntian Prefecture for a thorough interrogation."

The guards beside Madame Zhou swarmed up at this moment and dragged the two women away.

Xuanyuan Que reminded, "These two women plotted against your son. Let the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture interrogate them thoroughly to see if they are spies from an enemy state."

"Yes," the guard from the Marquis Mansion responded respectfully.

Interrogating spies was not the same procedure as ordinary interrogation. This mother and daughter were in for a hard time.

Once the guards took the two women away, Yan Huan asked Xuanyuan Que, "Cousin, how did you get here?"

Xuanyuan Que didn’t respond to his question, merely glanced at him, which counted as an acknowledgment, and then turned to Ruo Xuan, "Are you coming down the mountain?"

Yan Huan had long been accustomed to his little cousin ignoring almost everyone. Generally, only Xuanbao could make him speak voluntarily.

Ruo Xuan immediately nodded, "Yes!"

She was tired, didn’t want to walk, and descending the mountain with Divine Lord Xuanyuan meant he could carry her.

Ruo Xuan looked at Yan Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, are you coming down now?"

Yan Jiaojiao initially wanted to say yes.

Xuanyuan Que glanced at her indifferently.

The words that blurted out from Yan Jiaojiao then changed to, "I’ll stay a bit longer, I still want to enjoy the waterfall."

Zhou Ludong immediately said, "Jiaojiao, do you want to join me to see how the prefect interrogates the Tan family women?"

He had more to say to Yan Jiaojiao, and sharing a carriage would make it easier to talk.

Yan Jiaojiao also wanted to know what else the Tan family women had done to Zhou Ludong, "Sure!"

Seeing Yan Jiaojiao deciding to go with Zhou Ludong, Yan Huan said to Ruo Xuan, "Xuanbao, I’ll come down the mountain with you guys."

Xuanyuan Que said, "You follow the guards to take the two women to Shuntian Prefecture. They know medical arts; don’t let them escape."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan’s expression immediately became serious, "I’ll go right now!"

Those two black-hearted women dared to plot against his future brother-in-law, preventing his sister from getting married?

He absolutely couldn’t let them go.

If they were enemy spies, he definitely couldn’t allow them to escape.

Yan Jiaojiao couldn’t bear to watch, her silly brother was so easily manipulated by their cousin.

He was still dreaming of marrying Xuanbao? Dream on!

With his intelligence, her marrying Xuanbao felt like placing a fresh flower on top of cow dung.

Xuanyuan Que looked toward Ruo Xuan again, "Let’s go!"

Ruo Xuan waved to Yan Jiaojiao, "I’m heading off first!"

Then she descended the mountain with Xuanyuan Que.

Xuanyuan Que chose a less traveled path to ascend the mountain.

Ruo Xuan asked in surprise, "Aren’t we supposed to be going down the mountain?"

Xuanyuan Que said, "I’m hungry, I want to eat roast pigeon."

Ruo Xuan’s eyes lit up, "I was thinking of eating that too! No wonder you showed up, Xuanyuan Brother. I thought you appeared suddenly to save me, but it was actually for the roast pigeon."

"I was just saying, why use time stop for just a few silver needles? That’s overkill! I can handle it myself, even without using Immortal Technique. After all these years of training in martial arts, it wasn’t for nothing."

Xuanyuan Que remained silent, quietly continuing up the mountain.

At that moment, when he saw the silver needles flying, he uncontrollably stopped time and teleported over.

This level of tension was unprecedented in a thousand years!

Indeed, spending too much time with a certain flower had scrambled his brains.

Ruo Xuan, used to the Divine Lord Xuanyuan’s reticence, kept talking to herself, "Xuanyuan Brother, the fish in the river above the waterfall also look delicious. Let’s catch a couple and roast them too."

Xuanyuan Que nodded, "Hmm."

After walking a few steps, Ruo Xuan didn’t feel like walking anymore. Seeing no one was around, she immediately said, "Xuanyuan Brother, I’m tired; carry me up the mountain! You were the one who got hungry and wanted to go up the mountain to roast pigeons. Otherwise, I would have headed down. I climbed up just to accompany you, so you should carry me. Otherwise, I’m going down and not eating."

Certain flowers really forgot who just mentioned wanting to eat the roasted wild rabbit and pigeon on this mountain!

Xuanyuan Que, not wanting to bother arguing with this lazy and gluttonous flower and tired of her endless excuses and chatter, bent down and crouched.

Ever since she turned seven, he had refused to carry her. But this flower always had millions of excuses that would drive you nuts until you compromised.

So he set a rule that he would carry her only when there were no people around.

And now there was no one around.

Ruo Xuan skillfully climbed onto his back.

Xuanyuan Que carried her slowly up the stairs.

The afternoon sun quietly filtered through the leaves, casting both their shadows as one.

Basking in the sun while lying on the Divine Lord Xuanyuan was extremely comfortable, and Ruo Xuan unknowingly fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Ruo Xuan was awakened by the aroma of roasted wild rabbit. She opened her eyes and found herself sitting on a swing chair cushioned with a soft pad.

Not far away, Xuanyuan Que was roasting pigeon, wild rabbit, wild chicken, and fish downwind. Seeing her awake, he asked, "What would you like to eat first?"

Ruo Xuan, too lazy to move, replied, "The wild rabbit."

Xuanyuan Que then tore off a front leg of a wild rabbit and handed it to her.

Ruo Xuan happily accepted it and began eating contentedly.

The two of them sat quietly, listening to the cicadas and birdsong, eating their roast meat.

As they ate, the sky above Capital City suddenly thundered on a clear day.

Ruo Xuan said, "Those two actually dared to lie?"

Xuanyuan Que replied, "I guess they won’t dare anymore."

Indeed, the mother and daughter no longer dared.

Initially thinking that Ruo Xuan’s absence wouldn’t trigger any thunder, they were surprised when it still happened!

Both were scorched black all over by the lightning yet still alive, and they became completely honest!

This interrogation revealed that the mother and daughter weren’t enemy spies, but had been bribed.

Someone had instructed them to wait by the river on the day Zhou Donglü had an incident, rescue him, and had given them some drugs to induce unconsciousness and amnesia, which they were to administer to Zhou Ludong.

Apart from getting married, they did everything else according to that person’s wishes.

And they didn’t know who that person was, so the lead ended there.
