Jiang Luoxi probably hadn't expected Elder Master Qin to hesitate.
She shook the silver bell again.
And repeated what she had just said.
Just as Elder Master Qin was about to nod, Yun Xiaojing's voice, "Great-grandfather," drifted from not far away.
That clear childish voice seemed to pierce the overcast sky.
It fell into Elder Master Qin's ears.
Elder Master Qin glanced suspiciously at Jiang Luoxi, then at the three little ones who came running over, and immediately beamed, "You three are here again! Run slower, don't fall!"
Upon hearing this, the depths of Jiang Luoxi's eyes turned sinister, a terrifying chill that ruined her plans!
And it was Yun Shu's three children who ruined her plans!
She abruptly turned her head to look at Zhan Xiaoli and the others.
At that very moment, she was momentarily unguarded, and a snake flew towards her arm, biting her directly.
She swatted the snake away.
"Where did that snake come from?!"
"Snake?" Elder Master Qin looked over and saw the snake that had been swatted away fall to the ground.
There were snakes in his mansion?
He had never seen any before. And why would a snake appear out of nowhere and bite Jiang Luoxi specifically, not anyone else?
For a moment, Elder Master Qin's impression of Jiang Luoxi worsened. Especially since he couldn't recall what he and Jiang Luoxi had been talking about just now, nor why he had asked the servants to withdraw.
Elder Master Qin found it rather strange.
Jiang Luoxi saw black blood oozing from the bite mark on her arm and immediately realized the snake was venomous!
She quickly took out a bottle from herself, which contained an antidote pill.
It could counteract snake venom.
After taking it, she felt somewhat relieved and then remembered where she was.
She immediately looked up.
Elder Master Qin and the three detestable children were all looking at her.
She looked at Elder Master Qin, her face slightly pale, and said, "How could there be a snake in Elder Master Qin's mansion?"
"How would I know? I've lived here for decades and never seen a snake. A snake appeared after you arrived, did you summon it?" Elder Master Qin found her words unpleasant; instead of looking for problems within herself, she questioned him?
Yun Xiaojing knew exactly what was going on. He decided to give the little snake extra chicken legs when they got back. He made a face at Jiang Luoxi, "Snakes are very spiritual. You must not be a good person, that's why it bit you."
"Exactly!" Zhan Xiaofeng nodded vigorously, so true!
Zhan Xiaoli, with his hands behind his back, looked at Jiang Luoxi very seriously and coolly, and stated his demand with utmost sincerity, "Please stay away from my father! I absolutely will not allow you to get close to my father."
Then, he said to Elder Master Qin, "Great-grandfather, I don't like her. If you see her again, I will be very angry and will never come to see you again."
"I don't like her either," Zhan Xiaofeng said with a frown, expressing his dislike.
Yun Xiaojing was still grinning, "I think Father's eyes are fine, so you're all overthinking it. Mother is so beautiful and powerful, who can compare to Mother? Even if she went to get plastic surgery, she couldn't create a fake skin as beautiful as Mother's."
The children's combined words were extremely insulting.
Jiang Luoxi's face was about to lose its dignified beauty.
Her teeth were clenching with a grinding sound.
The pain in her arm was also so sharp.
Damn snake! It still hurt even after taking medicine. She looked down and saw black blood still oozing from the bite mark.
Damn it!
What kind of snake was this?
She glanced at the silver bell in her hand, then at the three children, who were no different from little devils in her eyes, and said coldly, "You're overthinking it."
After speaking, she tightly gripped her arm and left quickly.
She needed to deal with the snake venom in her arm as soon as possible.
But after taking a few steps, she turned back to look at Elder Master Qin, "Elder Master Qin, the snake should still be in the mansion. This snake is highly venomous, have your servants find it and kill it."
This was her kind reminder.
However.
Kindness was taken for a donkey's liver and lungs.
"This old man hasn't done anything wrong, so a snake wouldn't bite me. Stop worrying about things that don't concern you," Elder Master Qin said coldly.
Yun Xiaojing made another face at Jiang Luoxi, "Hurry up and leave, or the snake venom will spread! Remember, don't think about things you shouldn't, and my father is definitely someone you shouldn't think about!"
Jiang Luoxi was almost so angry that her lungs would explode. She opened and closed her mouth, wanting to say something, but the words got stuck in her throat. Gritting her teeth, she left quickly.
Seeing Jiang Luoxi flee in disarray, Yun Xiaojing chuckled inwardly.
Suddenly, his sharp eyes spotted a golden bell in Elder Master Qin's hand, and his eyes lit up, "Great-grandfather, is this a golden bell made of gold?"
It was so shiny.
Zhan Xiaoli stared at the golden bell, "Great-grandfather, I want to see it."
Elder Master Qin glanced at the golden bell, and without thinking too much, handed it over, "The woman just now gave it to me. If you like to play with it, take it."
Zhan Xiaoli took the golden bell and examined it carefully, head down. The moment he shook it, a muffled ringing sound echoed.
Elder Master Qin immediately frowned, "Don't shake it, Great-grandfather gets a headache from the bell sound."
"Mm." Zhan Xiaoli stopped shaking it and just stared at the golden bell, lost in thought.
At this moment, Yun Xiaojing suddenly held out a cup of water to Elder Master Qin, "Great-grandfather, does the bell sound give you a headache? Drink some water, and you'll feel better!"
Elder Master Qin's eyes reddened with emotion, "You're such a good boy!"
He quickly took the cup and drank.
Seeing Elder Master Qin drink the water, Yun Xiaojing winked at Zhan Xiaoli and Zhan Xiaofeng. The mission was complete!
...
Night King's Mansion.
Qiu Lu reported the events at Qin Mansion to Zhan Tianye.
"However, what exactly Jiang Luoxi said to the Elder Master is unknown," Qiu Lu said.
Zhan Tianye narrowed his eyes, "Issue an order. Jiang Luoxi is not allowed to enter the mansion without my permission."
"Yes! Shall I throw Jiang Luoxi's belongings outside the mansion gate now?" Qiu Lu immediately volunteered.
"Mm."
Upon receiving the order, Qiu Lu dashed out.
He quickly arrived in front of the guest room where Jiang Luoxi was staying.
He ordered the servants standing nearby, "Pack up all of Miss Jiang's belongings, inspect them, and then take them to the mansion gate."
The servants heard this and realized they were about to kick her out!
"Ah! She's finally leaving? Great, I'll go pack now!"
"This servant will go too!"
In just a short while, two or three bundles were packed.
Actually, there wasn't much.
More of them were books.
After a maid reminded him that one bundle contained clothes, Qiu Lu did not inspect that bundle but looked at the others.
After confirming there were no issues, he had them take the items to the mansion gate, and after instructing the gatekeepers on what to say, he lightly went to report to Zhan Tianye.
An hour later.
Jiang Luoxi, her face pale, jumped off her horse.
As she was about to enter the Night King's Mansion, she was stopped by the gatekeepers.
