But then he thought that Ye Fei would surely be uncomfortable, so he endured his shyness, took out a handkerchief, and stood directly in front of Ye Fei.
Then he stammered.
"Ye, Ye Fei, your clothes are all wet. I have a new handkerchief here. You can wipe off your sweat first!"
Ye Fei looked at Qi Xinlian with a playful gaze, then teased.
"Young master was too tired from refining artifacts just now, and I have no strength in my hands. Why don't you help me all the way and wipe it for me!"
Qi Xinlian's ears turned red instantly, but she wasn't angry at all. Instead, she stomped her foot and came to Ye Fei, then began to wipe him.
"Little girl, I was wrong, I was just kidding!"
"I'll do it myself!"
"Let go!"
Ye Fei hurriedly tried to snatch the handkerchief from Qi Xinlian's hand.
But Qi Xinlian had already relaxed after the psychological preparation.
Moreover, as Ye Fei's assistant, it was her duty to wipe his sweat.
"Let go!"
"Let me!"
Qi Xinlian quickly wiped off all the sweat on Ye Fei's face with her eyes closed, then closed her eyes and wiped away the sweat beads on his neck.
"All done!"
"My task is complete!"
Qi Xinlian finally opened her eyes and said.
At this moment, Qi Xinlian was very close to Ye Fei, and the atmosphere between them was inexplicably ambiguous.
Qi Xinlian's heart was already pounding like a drum, and her heart was racing.
Especially when she remembered that Ye Fei had saved her from danger several times, and this time he had saved her father, she felt she had no way to repay him.
"Ye Fei, thank you!"
"You have given me and my father a life-renewing grace."
"I have nothing else, only a relatively young body."
"I am willing to dedicate myself to you to repay your kindness!"
As soon as she said this, Ye Fei was so startled that he jumped up.
After all, his heart was always on his senior sister, and he could not accommodate any other women.
So he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand to refuse.
"Little girl, absolutely not!"
"Young master cannot afford it!"
"Besides, since we are friends, I definitely cannot stand by and do nothing, and Elder Qi treats me well, so I really have no reason to ignore it!"
"So please don't say such bold words in the future!"
"You really scared young master to death!"
Ye Fei said earnestly.
However, when Qi Xinlian heard Ye Fei's words, she did not show any sign of happiness. Instead, she pursed her lips, and her mood became low.
A faint awkwardness permeated the air between them.
However, it was Qi Xinlian who finally broke the awkward atmosphere.
"Okay, I was just kidding just now, trying to test you!"
"I have to say, you have withstood the test!"
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go out quickly!"
Ye Fei then breathed a sigh of relief, as the situation just now had almost made Ye Fei unable to cope.
Finally, it was evening, and including Sect Master Zhou, the three of them swaggered out of the room and walked towards Qi Xinlian's residence, chatting and laughing.
Tonight, they would expose the mastermind!
After deliberately letting the surrounding people know that they had left, the three of them quietly returned to the room next to Elder Qi's bedroom and hid.
Knock, knock, knock.
After waiting for a while, as expected, a faint sound suddenly came from the door.
After the three looked at each other, they immediately looked at the door.
They saw a figure, fully wrapped, silently landing on the ground, then passing through the hall and skillfully arriving outside Elder Qi's room.
After observing the surroundings for a few seconds, he confidently walked in.
Seeing Elder Qi lying on the bed with his eyes closed, clearly still in a coma.
He then chuckled softly, and then approached again.
But when he saw Elder Qi's appearance, he showed a hint of shock.
"How is this possible!"
"Could it be that the toxins in his body have really been resolved?"
Seeing that Elder Qi's breathing was steady and he did not look like he was poisoned, the man's eyes immediately revealed a vicious look, and he was about to make another move.
"Old man, you can only blame yourself for suppressing me all these years, I had no choice!"
"Blame yourself if you want to blame anyone!"
"Ha!"
Seeing that the man was about to strike with a palm, he was instantly stopped by Sect Master Zhou, who quickly stepped forward.
"You have such great courage!"
"How dare you make a move!"
"I won't let you go!"
Sect Master Zhou was furious, and quickly stepped forward to remove the man's mask.
Realizing that he had fallen into a trap, and that he never expected the person in front of him to be Sect Master Zhou, he immediately fled outside without hesitation!
"Don't run!"
"Stop right there!"
Qi Xinlian wished she could cut this person into a thousand pieces, grinding her teeth.
However, unfortunately, before this person could even step out of the room, he was caught between Sect Master Zhou and Ye Fei.
"Humph, you still want to run?"
"Simply wishful thinking!"
"You'd better honestly take off your mask, otherwise, if I do it myself later, I won't be in this attitude!"
Ye Fei said menacingly.
But the man still struggled violently, refusing to yield.
"Okay, you are indeed remarkable!"
"You are still unwilling to surrender, then I can only do it myself!"
With a swish, Ye Fei directly tore off the man's mask.
"It's you!"
"It's really you!"
"Why?"
"My father treated you so well, yet you poisoned my father!"
"You are simply ungrateful!"
"Bah, I guess my father was blind!"
Qi Xinlian scolded.
However, Qi Xinlian's words deeply stimulated the black-clothed man's fragile nerves.
"You say I am ungrateful?"
"Your father is a hypocrite!"
"For so many years, I have served him diligently and obeyed his every command, but how did he treat me?"
"I really can't stand it anymore!"
"Since I have fallen into your hands, I have nothing to say!"
"Dispose of me as you please!"
After saying this, the black-clothed man directly closed his mouth and remained silent.
"You say my father treated you badly, but do you know?"
"If my father hadn't begged and humbled himself time and time again, do you think you would still be able to stay in the Sect of Artifacts safely without being fired?"
"You are simply unreasonable!"
Qi Xinlian roared.
"No, impossible!"
"Impossible!"
The black-clothed man murmured.
