Chapter Eleven: Xia Chen's Plan

  Xia Chen's footsteps came to a halt: "Really, whatever is fine?"

  The woman nodded gloomily and walked to this step, it was her own fault, no one else could be blamed. However, as long as she could keep her cultivation and life, even if she had to pay a heavy price, it would still be worth it.

  "Very well." Xia Chen said lightly. He grabbed her and strode back to the courtyard, walked into the house, and threw her onto the bed with one swift motion.

  The woman closed her eyes and trembled all over, ready to meet the fate that was about to befall her.

  She didn't know what to make of it in her heart, and comforted herself: It's okay, this kid is a lot younger than me, but he looks pretty good, probably for the first time too. I've become his woman, so he can't very well send me to the law enforcement hall again, right?

  All I could hear was Xia Chen's footsteps going back and forth, constantly entering and exiting, but I had no idea what he was busy with.

  Damn Xia Chen, it takes him half a day to take off his clothes, I curse you to be frigid. The woman was getting more and more anxious, scolding in her heart.

  "Swallow it." Suddenly, Xia Chen's voice sounded in her ear.

  "Huh?" The woman opened her eyes in shock, only to see Xia Chen's clothes were intact, his hand stretched out in front of her, with a black medicinal pill placed on his palm.

  "You don't want to...?" The woman said in surprise.

  "Sister, you're too ugly, I'm not interested in you." Xia Chen said.

  "Fart!" The woman's face turned bright red with rage, "How dare you say I'm ugly, what's wrong with my looks?"

  She gritted her teeth and shouted, it seemed that even when Xia Chen threatened her just now, she didn't seem so excited.

  "Stop talking so much and eat quickly, you." Xia Chen pinched her chin and stuffed the black dan medicine into her mouth.

  "What is this?" The woman swallowed the dan medicine and finally stopped her angry accusations.

  "The poison will take effect in twelve hours, and no one but me can antidote it." Xia Chen said.

  "Tell me, what do you want me to do?" The woman said calmly. Xia Chen wanted to kill her, of course, didn't need to go through so much trouble.

  "It's a pleasure talking to intelligent people! By the way, I haven't asked for your surname and full name yet, Teacher Xiang." Xia Chen said.

  "My name is Mo Xiaoqi, you're now more powerful than me, I don't dare to be called 'Shi Jie' (Martial Sister)." the woman said.

  "Master Mo's skills are impressive, almost got me defeated." Xia Chen praised. He wasn't being sarcastic, Mo Xiaoqi's sneak attack tactics indeed left a deep impression on him.

  "Can't compare to your excellence, Young Master Xia." Mo Xiaoqi said, "I don't understand, you're really just an ordinary new disciple? How can you cultivate to the Second Heaven in such a short time? And also produce two fist shadows?"

  "Of course I'm a new disciple, two fist shadows aren't anything, it came out naturally." Xia Chen said.

  "You're a genius, I'd be honored to lose to you. That damned Song Qingshan said you were just an ordinary new disciple." Mo Xiaoqi gritted his teeth in anger.

  "Tell me, how did Song Qing Shan instruct you?" Xia Chen also didn't continue to explore this topic with her, and said lightly.

  Mo Xiaoqi sighed: "Ten days ago, Song Qing Shan found me and gave me 50 yuan qi dan. He asked me to help him get rid of a new disciple. Coincidentally, I was about to break through to the second stage of the later heaven, and I urgently needed yuan qi dan, so I agreed. That's what happened."

  "Song Qingshan dares to hire someone to kill within the sect, isn't he afraid of being discovered by the Law Enforcement Hall? This is a serious crime." Xia Chen said in surprise.

  "He's afraid of nothing, and there's no evidence, even if he fails, it's impossible to investigate him." Mo Xiaoqi said, "The sect has thousands of post-heavenly disciples, with grudges and contradictions everywhere, all sorts of dark things happen, the Law Enforcement Hall can't control them at all, let alone the internal struggles within the Law Enforcement Hall itself."

  Xia Chen's heart was shaken, for the first time feeling that the internal affairs of the cultivation sect were not all peaceful and harmonious, but rather hidden with murderous intentions and chaos.

  "Take tonight for example." Mo Xiaoqi continued, "If you hadn't broken through to the Second Heaven in two days, I would have definitely taken you down with a sneak attack. At that time, even you wouldn't know who had defeated you, and how could the Law Enforcement Hall possibly investigate on your behalf? Except for personally selected disciples, ordinary disciples are nobody's concern."

  Xia Chen nodded, and his heart also flashed a sense of fear, fortunately these days he had not relaxed his vigilance, and at the critical moment broke through the second layer of heaven, otherwise it was very likely that he would have been eliminated in a muddle, which would have been a real injustice.

  Song Qing Shan, let's just end it once and for all. Next time... there won't be a next time! Xia Chen's heart was filled with malice, since Song Qing Shan was so sinister, he wouldn't show any courtesy either.

  As for Wu Gang and Yang Er's repeated provocations, they had long since made Xia Chen harbor murderous intentions. As the saying goes, "a matter can be settled in three attempts," this time he would settle everything once and for all.

  He had already formed an idea and planned it several times in his heart. After confirming that everything was perfect, he whispered a few words to Mo Xiaoqi.

  Mo Xiaoqi's face changed color for a moment, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said: "Fine, I'll do as you say, but after I'm done, you have to give me the antidote, and you can't pursue me again in the future."

  "This is your only chance to redeem yourself, you're not qualified to talk terms with me. I can give you the antidote, but whether or not I'll pursue this further depends on my mood." Xia Chen said coldly.

  He had originally intended to take Mo Xiaoqi to the Law Enforcement Hall, but Mo Xiaoqi's words made him dispel this idea. Without evidence, if Song Qingshan resolutely denied it, he would not be able to strike at him, and it was better to follow his own plan.

  "Alright, who made me fall into your hands?" Mo Xiaoqi's tone softened, "Can I leave now?"

  "You think you can just leave? That's too easy." Xia Chen said.

  "What... what else do you want?" Mo Xiaoqi stared at him in terror, could it be that this kid was interested in her again?

  "Miss Mo, don't you think you almost hurt me just now? Shouldn't you give me some spiritual compensation?" Xia Chen said slowly and calmly.

  "What is spiritual compensation?" Mo Xiaoqi heard this term for the first time and was taken aback.

  Xia Chen stretched out his hand and made a quick rubbing motion with his thumb and middle finger: "It's this."

  Mo Xiaoqi sighed and thought to herself, "I'm really unlucky. I've lost my wife and now I've lost soldiers too. This kid looks honest, but he's actually a master of deceit."

  She took out several pill bottles from her bosom and handed them over: "There are a total of 120 yuan qi dan here, I only have these, all given to you."

  Xia Chen thought you're still quite sensible, smiled and took it over, waving his hand: "Mo Shijie slow down, I won't see you off, remember not to show your horse's hoof ah."

  Mo Xiaoqi looked at him with a complex expression: "I didn't expect you not to take advantage of others' misfortunes, but you're much better than that bastard Song Qingshan. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have agreed to his proposal."

  Xia Chen said: "Don't make me sound so noble, I just want to use you as a pawn to complete my plan."

  "Hehe." Mo Xiaoqi suddenly smiled slyly: "Summer Shidi, am I really that unattractive to you? I don't believe it, you've never had any feelings for me from start to finish?"

  Xia Chen was stunned, Mo Xiaoqi smiled lightly and had already nimbly slipped out of the house.

  This girl is quite interesting and not so venomous, she doesn't look bad either... Ah, why do I even reject the ones that are delivered to my doorstep? Xia Chen thought.

  A moment later, Xia Chen also walked out of the courtyard. Relying solely on Mo Xiaoqi alone was not enough; he needed the cooperation of some others and had to take the initiative to attack.

  Mo Xiaoqi returned home quietly, and Song Qing Shan was standing at her door, anxiously waiting. Seeing her return, he hastily came forward: "How did it go? Did you get rid of that bastard?"

  "Let's go in and talk." Mo Xiaoqi said calmly.

  Song Qing Shan saw her expression was dull and couldn't figure out what was going on, so he followed her in. The two walked into the house, and Mo Xiao Qi said: "I made a mistake."

  "What?" Song Qingshan's face changed, "With your sneak attack methods, how could you have failed? Xia Chen can't be that formidable, unless he broke through to the Second Heaven of the Acquired Realm."

  You're absolutely right, Mo Xiaoqi sneered inwardly and said, "I'm not a god, how can I be sure of success?"

  Song Qing Shan's face turned ugly: "Mo Xiao Qi, you're not trying to fool me, are you? Don't forget, you've accepted my benefits."

  Mo Xiaoqi smiled faintly: "Don't worry, when I said 'lost my grip', it's not a failure. That Xia Chen is very vigilant, and I haven't found an opportunity yet. But I have a better way, not only can we disable him without bloodshed, but also make him lose his reputation!"

  "It's like that." Song Qing Shan's face slightly eased up, "What good method do you have?"

  Mo Xiaoqi slowly spoke out the words that Xia Chen had taught her.

  Song Qing Shan's eyes lit up: "Not bad, not bad, this plan is great, Mo Shijie, your method is indeed very good, let's do it this way, haha, this time we can definitely make that little brat be abandoned and lose his reputation."

  He burst out laughing triumphantly.

  Mo Xiaoqi also smiled slightly, but there was no hint of a smile in her eyes, thinking to herself, go ahead and laugh, you won't be laughing later.

  In a courtyard, a young man looked at Xia Chen with a terrified expression as he quietly broke in. He was the new disciple who had mixed in with Wu Gang.

  "Xia Chen, what do you want to do? I'm warning you, I have a good relationship with Wu Gang, if you dare to touch me, Wu Gang won't let you off..." He said in a trembling voice, originally wanting to threaten, but suddenly stopped because the young man in front of him had already beaten his Wu Gang into a dead dog several times.

  Xia Chen grasped his throat, threw a black pill into his mouth and said in a low voice: "This is poison, twelve hours later it will take effect and you will die..."

  Poison? The new disciple's legs went limp, his eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted.

  Xia Chen thought you're also too hopeless, and pulled him up with one hand: "I have an antidote here, as long as you listen to me, you won't die!"

  "Brother Xia Chen, as long as you don't kill me, I'll do whatever you want." The new disciple almost knelt down to Xia Chen.

  Xia Chen whispered a few words in his ear.

  The new disciple listened and cried with a sad face: "Xia Chen big brother, if I betray Wu Gang, he will beat me to death."

  "You won't betray, then wait to be poisoned to death." Xia Chen sneered, "I'll tell you, this time I'm going to thoroughly eliminate Wu Gang and Yang Er. And I also know that Wu Gang has been collecting money and Yuan Qi Dan from you guys. If you want to continue being sucked dry by such a person and still consider him as a brother, then I have nothing to say. Think it through."

  The new disciple thought for a moment and finally steeled himself, gritting his teeth as he said: "Alright, Big Brother Xia Chen, I'll listen to you."

  "Alright, take me to see the second person then." Xia Chen said.
