Waiting to enter the mansion.

Feng Zhi seemed very familiar with the mansion, taking Hua Wuqing and Su Gu somewhere unknown.

Meanwhile, Su Yan was invited into the western courtyard.

Stepping into the western courtyard, entering the hall.

There she saw the Sect Leader Xuan Ye.

He was dressed in a dark robe, standing at the entrance of the hall.

Gazing at the flowers in the courtyard, lost in thought.

The Sect Leader of Xuanbing Sect was about fifty years old.

With a beard, he looked somewhat like an immortal being.

Seeing Su Yan enter, he gradually revealed a kind smile.

"Are you Su Yan?"

Su Yan nodded.

Xuan Ye stroked his beard, looking her up and down, nodding.

"Not bad, not bad."

He praised,

"Having a disciple like you in Xuanbing Sect is a blessing for our sect."

Su Yan said nothing.

Xiao Hua spoke up,

"Host, at this moment you should say, ’I don’t deserve such praise.’

Su Yan remained silent.

She replied to Xiao Hua,

"He wasn’t wrong."

Xiao Hua,

"Hmm..."

Xiao Hua quietly put away his notes.

Except when it concerned the Host and the Lord Hero, the Host would comply.

At other times, the Host wouldn’t even bother.

Su Yan sat down, and soon, a servant brought tea.

For the next hour, Xuan Ye was one-sidedly praising her.

And some things that... Su Yan didn’t really notice.

Yet, Xuan Ye seemed to be speaking with great enthusiasm.

He picked up his tea cup and took a sip.

Shifting his attention from praising Su Yan to the tea cup.

"This tea was specially collected from Jiangnan, sweet aftertaste."

Su Yan didn’t really want to drink tea.

She was more concerned about how long she’d been here; Hua Wuqing would likely be looking for her soon.

She picked up the tea and took a sip.

The taste was indeed good.

Xuan Ye laughed heartily and praised her a bit more.

Xiao Hua’s voice chimed in,

"Ding dong, system alert, a poison has been detected in the Host’s body."

Su Yan,

"..."

She lowered her head, looking at the tea cup.

Xiao Hua explained,

"Host, this isn’t exactly poison, it just stops your martial arts abilities for twelve hours.

But after twelve hours, it will be expelled naturally.

It causes no harm and a doctor would not detect any symptoms." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Su Yan caressed the rim of the tea cup.

Looking up, she suddenly said,

"It’s you."

Xuan Ye looked puzzled.

Su Yan stated,

"You sent someone to poison the villagers, framing the Demon Sect, giving you a reason to attack."

Xuan Ye’s expression briefly turned subtle.

Soon after, he laughed heartily.

"Young lady, you must have evidence to make such claims."

Su Yan, her eyelids drooping, murmured,

"I wasn’t sure, but the position of the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch is highly sought after.

But just now, your expression confirmed it was you."

Xuan Ye clapped the lid onto his tea cup.

His eyes flickered.

"Such a clever girl.

But, no matter how clever, what can you do?"

Xuan Ye caressed the rim of the tea cup,

"No one will believe you."

Su Yan kept her head down,

"What if it was Qin Luoyu saying this?"

With those words, Xuan Ye’s expression changed completely.

His eyes narrowed, filled with a chilling murderous intent.

"No wonder you discovered my involvement, so it was her."

Xuan Ye stood, hands clasped behind his back,

"Since you know, today you won’t leave this residence."

Su Yan, head lowered,

"The servants in this mansion all saw me come in with their own eyes.
