Chapter 10: Killing to Silence!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As the blade was thrust toward her, Xiao Muling suddenly opened her eyes!

She blocked the person’s arm with one hand and forced her body back with the other! She then sat up and glared at the person coldly.

The person staggered back when the blow landed on her abdomen, and she cried out in pain. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

When she saw Xiao Muling sitting up, her eyes widened in shock. “Miss… Missy!”

‘She… she wasn’t unconscious!’ Her thoughts were in a mess, but her mind was blank.

Xiao Muling stood up and looked at her hand. ‘I am indeed at the Spirit Cultivator rank.’

From the corner of her eye, she saw the person lying on the ground and gathered her thoughts. “Lian’er?” It was her maid.

She still remembered that this maid was given to her by Xiao Liangxiao. Xiao Liangxiao said that she was very useful and that she would be happy to have all the maids sent to her.

‘Kill her? She is really useful indeed—very thoughtful and loyal as well!’

“Miss… Miss…” Lian’er called out as her thoughts raced. ‘This good-for-nothing heard everything I said!’

Lian’er immediately made up her mind, and a ruthless look flashed across her eyes. ‘Since I have already been exposed, I might as well follow Miss Liangxiao’s instructions and kill her! She is just a useless person. Once I kill her, Miss Liangxiao will protect me then!’

Lian’er snorted contemptuously and tightened her grip on the dagger in her hand. She waved her arm at Xiao Muling again and slashed down with the sharp blade!

From the corner of her eye, Xiao Muling saw the sharp blade slashing down. She didn’t panic, nor did she have any intention of dodging.

She raised her hand and slapped!

Pa!

This slap was condensed with energy. Before Lian’er’s sharp blade fell on her, her slap landed on Lian’er’s face!

Lian’er was slapped to the ground, and the dagger in her hand fell to the side. Lying on the ground, half of her face immediately swelled up.

‘How is that possible!’ Lian’er was stunned by the slap. She didn’t expect Xiao Muling to retaliate at all! After all, she was still a cultivator even though her cultivation talent was mediocre.

In front of her, Xiao Muling shouldn’t have been able to retaliate. However, it wasn’t what she had imagined.

Lowering her gaze, Xiao Muling glanced at the dagger beside her and kicked it aside.

She slowly walked to Lian’er’s side and knelt down, but a smile appeared on Xiao Muling’s face. Then, she slowly extended her hand and brushed it across Lian’er’s swollen cheek.

When Lian’er felt the soft touch on her burning and painful spot, the pain was accompanied by numbness. She felt a chill crawl into her heart from the bottom of her feet!

“Xiao Liangxiao asked you to come?”

What she said just now was to help Xiao Liangxiao kill her.

When Lian’er saw the smile on Xiao Muling’s face, her blood ran cold!

Xiao Muling wasn’t wearing a mask, and the dark side of her face was terrifyingly dark like a ghost that had returned from hell!

But when Lian’er thought of Xiao Liangxiao’s words, she suddenly felt confident and snorted in disdain. “Xiao Muling, Miss Liangxiao is such a good person, but she is being bullied by a useless person like you. You even shamelessly begged the Family Leader to bring you to the Realm of Summoning. How can I let you implicate Miss Liangxiao again!?”

‘I went to visit Miss Liangxiao. Because of Xiao Muling, Miss Liangxiao fainted. This useless person has been pestering Miss Liangxiao. Every time she was bullied, the Family Leader would come back to protect her. Miss Liangxiao has suffered a lot!

‘Now, she even wants to implicate Miss Liangxiao and pester her to go to the Realm of Summoning! Xiao Muling is a burden—trash! Since she is trash, I have to help Miss Liangxiao get rid of her. After all, if a good-for-nothing like her dies, the Xiao Family won’t lose anything!’

“I bullied Xiao Liangxiao.” Xiao Muling laughed sarcastically. ‘It turns out that in these people’s eyes, Xiao Muling has been bullying Xiao Liangxiao all these years. She has already killed Xiao Muling, yet she still makes people think that Xiao Muling was bullying her. What a white lotus! Beautiful! Too beautiful!’

“Since you don’t want to follow me, why didn’t you leave earlier?” Xiao Muling’s hand landed on Lian’er’s neck after she finished speaking.

Where was her motive?

Lian’er wasn’t afraid to continue since everything had already been exposed. ‘Anyway, she is a useless person. She should know that she has implicated Miss Liangxiao. She should kill herself to apologize! In the Xiao family, only Miss Liangxiao is the most respected!’

“I’m here to help Miss Liangxiao keep an eye on you. The Family Leader wants you to inherit the clan’s jade piece. You’re useless…”

Bang!

The door was kicked open. At this moment, a water blade flew past and entered Lian’er’s heart. Then, the water blade dissipated, and blood gushed out crazily!

Her body twitched in pain and disbelief. Soon, she stopped breathing.

Xiao Muling looked at the dead Lian’er and slowly retracted her hand to look up.

Xiao Liangxiao stood there. Seeing Xiao Muling looking at her, she quickly hid the murderous look on her face.

Xiao Muling stood up, put one hand behind her back, and looked at Xiao Liangxiao calmly. ‘It is really efficient to kill someone to silence them. Xiao Family’s jade piece—it turns out that it wasn’t just outsiders who had their eyes on it but also countless people in the Xiao family. But in my memories, I have never seen the Xiao family’s jade piece. Why do these people think that the Xiao family’s jade is with me?’

Xiao Liangxiao looked nervous. She quickly walked over and took Xiao Muling’s hand, her eyes full of grievances. “Ling-er, she’s talking nonsense. I’ve never had her watch over the jade piece. The jade piece is yours; I’ve never thought about taking it. Although Lian’er was specially chosen by me because I saw that she was indeed good at serving others, I didn’t expect her to be so heartless as to target the jade.”

Fortunately, she was worried and came over to take a look. Otherwise, everything would be irreversible.

‘If Xiao Muling had died yesterday, I wouldn’t have to do this today. Now that Xiao Muling is still alive, I can only live with Xiao Muling like before. Even though I’m disgusted by Xiao Muling, I can only endure it! I shall wait patiently for the day my father wins the position of family head and l become the Xiao family’s eldest daughter!’

Xiao Muling lowered her eyes and looked at the hand that was being held. Disgust filled her eyes.

‘The cat is out of the bag!’ She didn’t say anything. ‘Just how many times did Xiao Liangxiao mention the family’s jade piece?’

She looked up and met Xiao Liangxiao’s eyes.

Seeing her cold eyes, Xiao Liangxiao was stunned and almost couldn’t maintain the aggrieved look on her face.

The corners of Xiao Muling’s lips curled up as she maintained her smile and asked gently, “Ling’er, what’s wrong with you? Don’t you believe me?”

‘Did she hear something yesterday? Impossible! She didn’t die then, but she definitely should’ve fainted. What could she possibly hear?!’ Xiao Liangxiao looked at Xiao Muling with a gentle smile as if she were the most perfect person in the world.

‘What a blooming white lotus. Her acting is really good.’ Xiao Muling sneered in her heart. Then, she took a step toward Xiao Liangxiao and raised her hand.

The next moment, she curled her fingers and strangled Xiao Liangxiao’s neck!
