Chapter 63: The thief is still alive
"shoot!"
She held his fingers and loosened the string, then suddenly let go. The arrow drew a sharp trajectory in the air. In addition to being as hard and fast as lightning, it was also wrapped in another force. It actually penetrated the "talisman wall" and hit the evil master directly between his eyebrows.
He didn't even have time to react before his eyes widened and he collapsed to the ground, with scarlet blood quickly spreading under his body.
"The last one."
These words were spoken to Wei Canghao.
After Xu Shanshan left him, Wei Canghao's heart, which had just suddenly gone haywire, had not yet recovered.
He knew that she had no intention of being ambiguous, but this was the first time for him that a man and a woman were so close to each other. He unconsciously rubbed the place where she touched with his thumb, and felt that there were many thin snakes drilling into his skin.
When he came to his senses, he took a deep breath and put aside his chaotic thoughts.
He turned around and saw her standing there calmly and dignifiedly, waiting with a smile. In the bloody storm, the killing blade did not shed blood...
This woman is really different.
The sailors of the Wei family knew that they were being manipulated to kill each other, but they could not control themselves. Until the moment Miss Xu appeared, it was as if their souls were cleansed by some holy water. They became clear-eyed and regained consciousness for a short time.
They saw Miss Xu and her own guard leader join forces and shoot an arrow at the man in the black cloak who was performing evil magic. All the means of the arrogant evil sect were defeated.
In the end, he was like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Amazing!
Admiration!
To them, they felt helpless against such a powerful opponent, but Miss Xu was able to kill him with one blow.
The moment she stood up from behind the Lord of Defense, she looked tall, mighty and heroic. Her slender but upright back, moved by the breeze, gave rise to a powerful and mysterious charm.
"How did you come?"
Wei Canghao held the bow on his back and reeled in the string. The jade ring looked ordinary, but it could hold a thin and soft steel string.
Xu Shanshan knew that this jade ring was not only a decoration for him, but also a practical tool. If he wanted to obtain it, he would have to put in a lot of effort.
She walked forward, looking down at the evil master's black cloak, her eyes narrowed slightly: "Looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
He followed.
At this time, a lukewarm voice sounded: "Come to me, Xu Shanshan, her elder sister."
Wei Canghao suddenly heard another female voice and tilted his head to look, only to see a half-grown child supporting the pregnant woman. She pursed her lips and looked at him with cold eyes...
Wei Canghao was slightly stunned.
Is this pregnant woman Xu Shanshan’s elder sister?
"…She is your relative?"
Xu Shanshan squatted down and was searching for the black cloak. Hearing this, he glanced at Xu Shanshan.
I don't know why she, who always hated being involved with the original owner, now publicly acknowledges their sister relationship.
Xu Shanshan was a little nervous under her calm and clear eyes, her eyes flickered, and finally she lowered her head and began to feel guilty. Was she a little ungrateful? She had said before that she would draw a clear line with their Xu family, but now she was trying to get close to her just to vent her previous grievances...
"Yes."
The word "yes" made Xu Shanshan breathe a sigh of relief.
When Wei Canghao saw Xu Shanshan admitting the other party, he realized that it was all a misunderstanding. He was a man who dared to take responsibility for his actions. He almost hurt them, so he immediately bowed and said, "I was suspicious just now. I apologize to Miss Xu."
Xu Shanshan was just indignant at first. If Wei Canghao hadn't watched them die without helping, Fang Yingjie wouldn't have been so seriously injured. If Xu Shanshan hadn't arrived in time, she and he would have died together.
But on second thought, everyone only considers their own standpoint. If it were from Wei Canghao's perspective, her and Fang Yingjie's behavior were suspicious, and their words were full of loopholes, so he would naturally not accept it easily.
Once she understood, she dared not accept the apology from such a person. She was only relying on Xu Shanshan's power to stand in front of Wei Canghao so confidently and state the injustice she had suffered before.
Now that you have gotten the advantage, you can't act like a good kid.
She quickly adjusted her attitude and said gently and appropriately: "What are you saying, Boss Wei? What happened just now is understandable. I know that Boss Wei is only being cautious for the safety of everyone. You don't have to be like this."
Come to think of it, the Wei family has done them a favor.
Originally, the entire Xu family was to be executed. Later, the two elders of the Xu family "committed suicide to apologize" at home, which alarmed the Wei family. The Wei family interceded for the lonely and elderly people of the Xu family, and thus the siblings escaped.
Although in the end, due to the despicable actions of the Lei family, the brother and sister were sent to Black Island to serve their sentences.
After Xu Shanshan found what she wanted, she stood up. She did not ask them about "what happened just now", but only said: "Has the Xu family in Huaijiang heard of it?"
Wei Canghao paused, then suddenly asked, "Are you the second daughter of the Xu family?"
Xu Shanshan didn't waste any words and said directly: "Do you remember the previous agreement? Condition one, the Xu family was wrongly accused. I hope that you, as the future son-in-law of the Xu family, can overturn the case for the Xu family and collect evidence of the Lei family's false accusations."
Xu family?
It turns out that their Lord Wei’s fiancée is the second daughter of the Xu family in Huaijiang.
It turned out that there was a rumor going around that their leader was not satisfied with the fiancée arranged for him by his family, thinking that her virtue was not worthy of the position, and wanted to cancel the engagement several times.
They all thought that the Lord's fiancée must be a girl of bad character and erratic and domineering behavior, especially since they had seen her wearing prison uniform on Black Island before. Apart from anything else, it was an irrefutable fact that she had committed a crime and was caught.
Now it seems that she is just implicated by her family, and from what she said, there is a great injustice involved...
Lord Wei actually looked down upon such a capable woman who could distinguish right from wrong and was also loyal and righteous, and even wanted to cancel the engagement. It was really like... one does not know how to appreciate what he has, and a full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man.
Wei Canghao originally only knew that Xu Shanshan was the apprentice of the fortune teller, but had no intention of learning about her other identities. Now he knew that she was from Huaijiang and was the daughter of the Xu family.
The Xu family's salt trafficking case was indeed a bit strange at the beginning. The Xu family has always had a very good reputation in Huaijiang. However, the two elders of the Xu family "committed suicide out of fear of crime" and no lawsuit was filed. The matter came to an end and was later left unresolved.
"If the Xu family was wronged, since our Wei family and the Xu family are... we will definitely overturn the case and retry it to clear their name."
He wanted to mention that they were relatives by marriage, but he had gone to Quexie Mountain to break off the engagement, and he and Xu Shanshan had not yet been actually married. This reason worked in public, but not in front of them.
But Xu Shanshan hopes that he can reverse the case for the Xu family as the future son-in-law. Does this mean that she still has evil intentions towards him and has other plans in mind, or is it that she is considering a legitimate identity for him to provide legitimate protection for the Xu family's remaining orphan?
"Then I would like to thank Master Wei for that."
Xu Shanshan looked normal at this time. He really didn't see any "restlessness" in him, and his heavy mood relaxed a little.
