Chapter 222 Assassination

Yin Qingyan frowned, suddenly feeling uneasy.

Guan Yue, who was by Yin Qingyan's side, was the first to notice something strange about Yin Qingyan, "Little Master, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Yin Qingyan shook her head and spoke slowly: "No, I just feel uneasy all of a sudden for some reason. It's okay. Maybe I'm too sensitive."

Yin Qingyan smiled at Guanyue and told her not to worry.

"Her name is Xia Ying. We met her at the gate of the temple the day we first arrived."

"Hello, Miss Xia, my name is Yin Qingyan, and I am the shopkeeper of Huichun Pavilion."

After hearing the words Huichun Pavilion, a strange light flashed across Xia Ying's face.

This abnormality was not only noticed by Yin Qingyan who was close at hand, but also by Chen Siche who had been paying attention to the developments from a distance.

Both of them were a little confused, but at the same time they chose to remain silent.

Xia Ying timidly nodded to Yin Qingyan, indicating that they knew her.

"What about her now?"

Aside from the fact that Wan Qing is too kind and easily soft-hearted, Chen Siche is not the kind of person who leaves people by his side without warning.

"It's like this. Xia Ying's husband left her without saying a word. She finally managed to corner the man today to demand an explanation, but the man actually punched and kicked Xia Ying. We couldn't stand it anymore, so we took action.

Helped her."

Huh? Is this directed at Wan Qing's weakness? Yin Qingyan had to doubt it.

You can’t be defensive about others and you can’t be harmful to others. This is the philosophy that Yin Qingyan has always adhered to.

"What about the man?"

"I'll let someone solve it."

Chen Siche, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.

Yin Qingyan became even more confused. Neither Chen Siche nor Wan Qing were the kind of people who would take people's lives at will. What on earth did the man do?

"You just left her like this?"

Hearing what Yin Qingyan said, Xia Ying immediately said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble, I'm leaving now."

Wan Qing on the side grabbed Xia Ying and begged Yin Qingyan not to do this to Xia Ying with her eyes.

"Don't get me wrong, Miss Xia, I didn't mean it that way. Since you are homeless, it is also right for you to stay with Wan Qing and take care of each other."

Yin Qingyan didn't want to say too much, so she dismissed everyone with a few words.

In the next few days, a few people just gathered together to chant sutras, eat, eat and chat for a while, as if nothing had happened.

Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it really hasn't happened. Once some things take root, they will grow up quietly and one day they will come to the fore.

Yin Qingyan couldn't let go of Xia Ying's strange behavior that day, so she found an opportunity to test Xia Ying.

"Miss Xia, my young master wants to talk to you."

Guanyue entered Xia Ying's room while everyone was resting in the room.

A big living person suddenly appeared in her room, and Xia Ying was a little at a loss.

"Don't be afraid, we won't do anything to you, we just have a chat."

Guanyue softened her tone when she saw Xia Ying's scared look.

Xia Ying hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and agreed.

Guanyue led Xia Ying all the way to the foot of the mountain behind the temple. There was an octagonal pavilion at the foot of the mountain. Yin Qingyan was sitting there, holding a glass of wine in her hand, raising it towards the moon. She didn't drink it for a long time, but chose to drink it carefully.

Look carefully.

"Miss Xia, sit down."

Yin Qingyan put the wine back on the table and signaled Guanyue to step back.

Xia Ying didn't sit down for a long time, she just kept her head lowered.

Yin Qingyan couldn't help but laugh, "Am I so scary? I invited Miss Xia here just because I am bored at night and want to find someone to chat with. Girl, don't worry."

Xia Ying cautiously raised her head and glanced at Yin Qingyan, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Miss Yin, please don't let Miss Wan Qing drive away this slave. I really have no place to go."

"I said it before, I didn't mean it. You're too worried."

"Really?" Xia Ying's eyes were full of surprise.

After confirming that Yin Qingyan was really not joking, Xia Ying's stiff body relaxed and she slowly sat down.

"I don't mean to target the girl, I just want to ask her something."

Yin Qingyan was thinking about her words.

Xia Ying nodded slightly and said yes.

"When I first met the girl two days ago, she seemed to be quite interested in Huichun Pavilion?"

Yin Qingyan stared at Xia Ying, not wanting to miss any of her reactions.

"this……"

Xia Ying looked hesitant and didn't know how to speak.

"careful!"

Yin Qingyan grabbed Xia Ying and pulled her back, staring defensively in a certain direction in the darkness.

Soon enough, a ray of light struck them again.

Yin Qingyan didn't know martial arts, so she could only pull Xia Ying to avoid it.

The people who attacked them seemed to have no fixed targets. Yin Qingyan and Xia Ying would attack whoever was easy to attack.

Yin Qingyan accidentally pulled Xia Ying in front of her without controlling her strength.

The sword light thrust forward and hit Xia Ying's hair.

Next, not only Yin Qingyan, but also the killer was obviously stunned.

Under the moonlight, in addition to the sword light, something else shone brightly.

Xia Ying didn't even care that the sword light was so close. She hurriedly knelt down to pick up the hair on the ground, crying while picking it up.

Fortunately, Guanyue was not far away and rushed over when she saw the light and shadow here.

The killer was not willing to fight. He saw a man with good skills and quickly sheathed his sword and disappeared into the darkness.

At this moment, Yin Qingyan and Guanyue looked at the crying people squatting on the ground and looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

Xia Ying sat curled up on the ground, picked up her hair and held it in her arms, burying her head in her arms and shrugging her shoulders slightly.

"Um...Miss Xia...are you okay?"

Yin Qingyan approached Xia Ying and put her hand on Xia Ying's shoulder to express comfort.

"How's it going? Shopkeeper Yin, are you okay?"

The arrival of Chen Siche alleviated this embarrassment in time.

Yin Qingyan reminded Chen Siche not to act rashly yet with her eyes.

"It's okay, it's just Miss Xia..."

Yin Qingyan still didn't know how to explain the current situation.

The scene fell into silence again, except for low sobs.

"I'm fine too."

Xia Ying, who had calmed down slightly, raised her head and looked at Yin Qingyan and Chen Siche.

Then Xia Ying sat directly on the ground and began to speak: "Shop Manager Yin, you just asked me why there was something abnormal when I mentioned Huichun Pavilion. Can you explain it now?"

Xia Ying's whole body is now shiny, her head is shiny, and the undried tears in her eyes are also shiny. Her whole person looks funny and pitiful.

Everyone sat with Xia Ying for a while and then went back to their rooms.
