The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

She looked at the ground with lifeless eyes, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she said to him firmly, "Let Xiaoli leave first."

"Oh." Feng Xiao sneered, "I don't believe it. Although I don't often go to the human world, I know that human nature cannot stand the test. What's more, you are the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. She is just one of your maids. Maybe she is a slave that your Su family can buy with a few copper coins. Miss Su, please go back. I don't need any money, and I don't want your land."

But Su Miaoying did not give up. She calmly put away the purse and the title deed, and continued with a firm look: "But I see that you seem to be very at odds with the other young man who came with you. He has the scroll of the theater city in his hand, and that scroll makes that beauty very happy. You are not convinced, right?"

Feng Xiao was startled; the momentum of the negotiations seemed to have instantly reversed to the other side.

Su Miaoying is observant, shrewd and tactful. She was not just eavesdropping, she was also peeking.

If she could escape, she would do it with all her strength, even at any means necessary.

She continued, "That young man may not know everything just by looking at the scroll, but many years ago, our Su family was invited to the palace as a distinguished guest to drink with the emperor and the empress. At that time, another distinguished guest was the Lan family from the theater city."

Feng Xiao's expression suddenly changed.

The Lan family... The city lord just asked, who knows the Lan family?

Seeing him silent and solemn, Su Miaoying's eyes were filled with pride. She smiled slightly and said, "Can Xiaoli and I go with you to find the exit password tomorrow?"

Feng Xiao: “…”

……

After seeing Su Miaoying off, Feng Xiao was just about to return to the couch to practice his mental skills, but he didn't expect that as soon as he sat down, he saw a figure reflected at the door, and that person gently knocked on his door.

I didn't expect it to be so lively tonight.

No one was sleeping peacefully.

Feng Xiao stood up and walked to the door. When he opened it, he saw the woman named Susu. The woman looked very bad, and her eyes were even red, as if she had just cried.

He was not an ordinary man. He felt nothing when he saw all kinds of beauties in the world, whether they were lively girls, gentle young women, or even the fire phoenix of his own race. He only liked arrogant and beautiful fairy sisters, like the city lord.

He admitted that he was resistant at first and hated being tied up, but once the rope she had tied him with loosened, he began to panic again.

"What's the matter?"

Su Su did not beg to go in, and stood at the door with her head down. She choked up, and with an apologetic look on her face, she explained softly, "I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. I just... couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and I live close to this room. I have had very good hearing since I was a child, so I accidentally heard your conversation with Miss Su."

Feng Xiao kept listening with a gloomy face. He didn't know what this woman was trying to do. At most it was just another deal.

Su Su hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else about your conversation. I just... want to ask you to save my husband. If, I mean if, you can still find a way to lead people out of the city, can you save him first?"

This was something he had not expected, but he remained calm: "Do you want the pass to leave the city the next day?"

Su Su nodded fiercely: "I am not as rich as Miss Su. I am penniless, powerless and without any strengths, so I can only shamelessly beg you..."

Feng Xiao frowned, and it was hard for him to agree. He just said, "I'm not sure I can get so many exit passes, so I can only try my best."

Su Su was very grateful. She had not held any expectations at first, so she thanked him repeatedly in great surprise: "Thank you very much, sir! Thank you very much, sir! I will repay you for your kindness someday!"

"It's late, you should go back and get some rest," he advised.

"I'll go back right away. Thank you, sir!" Susu said, and hurried back to her room.

Although he did not understand the human world, he had heard a few lines of poetry, such as "husband and wife are birds of the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately." Now it seems that this is not absolute.

After seeing Su Su off, the night grew deeper and the surroundings were silent again. He felt a little tired and lay down on the couch to take a nap.

On a silent night, the lights in all the rooms were off, and only the eyes of the Guan Erye statue were still glowing dimly.

……

On the second day, everyone woke up from their sleep and rest.

Mu Hanxing studied diligently from the book and crammed for the entire night. When he came back from the state of formlessness, although he felt a little tired, he was still able to stay awake.

This is a new move she has learned.

The formless realm is similar to the cultivation space opened by those who practice Taoism in the field of consciousness. They use their thoughts to transform into their original form and then practice in the vast and empty formless realm. After waking up, they copy the results of their practice to their original form. It is an extremely shameless way of learning by stealing. Others are sleeping, but you are still studying. You study while sleeping every day. As you study, you ascend to the throne of the king of study and gradually leave others far behind.

She thought that the evil woman might have used this trick to work day and night to become the city lord.

After waking up, she still felt that she needed to eat something to replenish her energy. She was about to go out to ask Chuntao for something to eat when she heard a scream from outside: "Ah——!"

She was startled and quickly jumped out of bed and rushed out of the room.

Everyone was awakened by the scream and hurried out. Mu Hanxing moved the fastest and saw a frightened figure lying on the ground at the door of the inn. It was Su Miaoying.

She felt completely weak and was shaking violently. She seemed to be stupid. She leaned against the door with her facial features frozen and stopped screaming.

When Mu Hanxing looked outside the inn door, she was shocked.

A female corpse was lying a little further away from the door.

Judging from her clothes and hair accessories...it's Su Miaoying's maid Xiaoli.

Xiaoli's hands and legs were cut off by the sharp blade. Her torso and separated limbs were lying in a pool of blood. Her eyes were open, and her entire face was snow-white and colorless. She looked like a broken doll in the still gray daylight.

This scene was so shocking and terrifying that even Mu Hanxing was stunned for a long time before she regained her composure. She suddenly remembered what Lu Yusheng and the others had said to her yesterday. When Zhai Tian, ​​who was punished to be put in solitary confinement for reflection, was found, his body was also chopped off...

Could it be that Xiaoli killed the "civilians" who were parading in the streets last night and violated the rules?

No, as a maid, she didn't seem to have any reason to kill someone, and she didn't seem to have the courage to do so. Or was it because she sneaked out in the middle of the night? After all, the body was found outside the inn, but why? Yesterday, the butcher had clearly warned everyone.
