The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate

499 Confrontation

Xia Qiluo had indeed brought her shifu here too early.

Wu Changxian did not dare to neglect Xu Ran and Xu Qing, who seemed to be middle-aged. These two masters looked young, but their actual age was about the same as Yuan Hui’s.

Wu Changxian was a little envious. He was younger than these two masters, but he looked much older.

Xia Qiluo did not mind. “Shifu, why don’t we take a look at Madam Xu first?”

!!

Xu Ran’s cold expression softened and he said gently, “Sure.”

Xu Qing also smiled. “Show us the way.”

Xia Qiluo held one of them in each hand. “You have to see closely if Madam Xu has been cast with some kind of forbidden techniques.”

After all, Madam Xu’s crazy behavior did not seem to be fake. It was either Liu Sanniang who had made a mistake or Madam Xu had been cast with a forbidden technique that sealed her memory.

Wu Changxian naturally would not stop them. He instructed Yi Zilan to wait there and personally brought Xia Qiluo and the other two to the cell.

Madam Xu’s situation was special. The cell was heavily guarded. Anything dangerous and fatal was removed. Madam Xu was lying in the cell, looking disheveled.

The jailer reported to Wu Changxian, “Madam Xu still hasn’t eaten anything.”

It had been a few days since she last ate. No one could stand not eating anything for so long. Sooner or later, she would starve to death.

Wu Changxian got someone to open the cell door.

Xu Qing entered first, followed by Xia Qiluo. She looked at Madam Xu and said, “My shifu, Xu Qing and Xu Ran, are here. They are the grand elders of the Cloud Breaking Sect. You don’t have to seek help from Liu Sanniang. My masters are much stronger than her.”

Madam Xu slowly looked up and said in a hoarse voice, “Thank you, Masters. Thank you, Seventh Princess. I will never forget your kindness.”

She believed that Liu Sanniang was not the only capable person in this world.

Xu Qing stepped forward and placed his hand on Madam Xu’s head.

Madam Xu’s expression changed drastically, and Xu Qing said in a deep voice, “I’m performing a technique to check if you are cast with any forbidden techniques.”

Madam Xu closed her eyes. She could clearly feel a force running from head to toe, as if it could control her entire body.

Not long after, Xu Qing retracted his hand and shook his head at Xu Ran. “There are no forbidden techniques.”

Xia Qiluo felt a little relieved. With Xu Qing’s deep cultivation, if he could not sense anything, then it must be so. However, in order to double check, Xia Qiluo grabbed Xu Ran’s arm and shook it. “Shifu Xu Ran, see if you can sense anything.”

Xu Ran looked at Xia Qiluo with a gentle expression and nodded.

Xia Qiluo smiled and let go.

Xu Ran walked up to Madam Xu and said in a deep voice, “Look into my eyes.”

Madam Xu was stunned. She slowly looked at Xu Ra.

Xu Ran stared right into Madam Xu’s eyes. At that moment, Madam Xu couldn’t move at all. In just a few seconds, Xu Ran looked away. Madam Xu relaxed and looked at Xu Ran worriedly.

She clenched her fists tightly and gulped. Even if it was just for a few seconds, she could tell that Xu Ran was stronger than Xu Qing.

Xia Qiluo hugged Xu Ran’s arm. “Shifu, how is it?”

Xu Ran looked at Xia Qiluo and said gently, “She’s safe. That Miss Liu is just spouting nonsense. Madam Xu doesn’t have any forbidden techniques or seals on her, and she didn’t lie. On the other hand, why does Miss Liu intentionally slander her and ruin her reputation? It’s really deplorable.”

Madam Xu heaved a sigh of relief and sobbed. “Please give me justice. Otherwise, I won’t be able to prove my innocence even if I explain it again and again.”

Xia Qiluo looked at Madam Xu and said, “Don’t worry. Duke Xu was a hero when he was alive. I will seek justice for you, even if it means taking Liu Sanniang’s life.”

Madam Xu kowtowed and thanked them. “Thank you, Seventh Princess. Thank you, Masters.”

Wu Changxian’s heart sank. When he thought of what would happen next, he could not help but become anxious.

Xia Qiluo could see the nervousness written all across his face. She said calmly, “Lord Wu, don’t be anxious. Miss Liu and Master Yuan Hui haven’t arrived yet. Young Master Xu hasn’t arrived yet either, right?”

Wu Changxian took a deep breath and said, “I’ll go out and see if they are here.”

Xia Qiluo raised her eyebrows. “Please.”

After Xu Ran and Xu Qing confirmed that Madam Xu was not harmed by forbidden techniques, Xia Qiluo was certain that nothing would go wrong.

Xia Qiluo even hoped that Wu Changxian would tell Liu Sanniang about it to make her feel nervous. She was too annoyed to see the perpetually calm expression on Liu Sanniang’s face.

Wu Changxian walked out of the cell in a hurry. Coincidentally, Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan had just arrived, so Wu Changxian quickly told them what had happened in the cell.

After speaking, Wu Changxian looked at Liu Sanniang’s calm expression and asked. “Miss Liu, why aren’t you worried about yourself?”

Did she not know what kind of trouble she had gotten herself into?

Even Yi Zilan, who was listening by the side, was anxious. If Liu Sanniang was proven to be wrong, she would be beheaded. Liu Sanniang had helped him before, so naturally he didn’t want to see anything bad happening to her.

Liu Sanniang smiled faintly. “Are Young Master Xu and Master Yuan Hui here?”

Wu Changxian sighed. “They should be here soon. It’s almost noon.”

At quarter to noon, Yuan Hui and Xu Lin arrived together.

Yuan Hui was wearing a yellow kasaya and had a calm expression. Xu Lin was carried in. His red eyes were very scary. He looked at everyone with bloodthirsty coldness.

Yuan Hui saw Liu Sanniang and greeted. “Miss Liu.”

Liu Sanniang glanced at Yuan Hui and greeted back. “Master Yuan Hui.”

Yuan Hui glanced at Xu Lin and said to Liu Sanniang, “Miss Liu, I will not tolerate anyone throwing groundless accusations at me. I will defend myself till the last moment.”

He had already made it clear that there was a demon in Duke Xu’s Mansion. Didn’t Liu Sanniang claim to be the True Buddha? Why didn’t she try to get rid of the demon but instead pointed her sword at him?

At this moment, he could empathize with Hui Zhen’s feelings back then. However, he was different from Hui Zhen. He would not be defeated.

Liu Sanniang looked at Xu Lin calmly. “It’s time for justice to be served.”

Yuan Hui’s expression was cold. If not for his strong self-control, he would have lost his temper by now. If a little girl like Liu Sanniang could remain calm and collected, there was no reason why he could not.

Yuan Hui also said calmly, “Then let’s go in.”

...

Wu Changxian said with a complicated expression, “The Seventh Princess is already waiting inside.”

He looked at Liu Sanniang many times, hoping that she would admit her mistake. But even if she did, she would not have a good ending.
