Qin Yexuan held the struggling Su Xueqing tightly.
"Axue, remember the first time we met? The first thing you said to me was, 'You damn man, get out!'"
Ah!
Su Xueqing stared in shock at the handsome young man.
That was the first thing she had said when she first met her brother-in-law.
"Among the Su sisters, you were the most pampered and disobedient, so you were scolded by me the most. You were still a student at the performing arts school then, but only I knew that you didn't want to become famous. You just felt that actors earned a lot, and you wanted to help Bingyan sister realize her dream of starting a business!"
Su Xueqing's tears streamed down her face. "Brother-in-law, is it really you?"
She hugged Qin Yexuan's neck and burst into tears.
After a long while, Su Xueqing calmed down.
Qin Yexuan felt a stone lifted from his heart. He smiled at the sister who had finally returned.
Taking the opportunity, he briefly explained what had happened recently.
Su Xueqing listened, dumbfounded.
What? Bingyan was now a high-ranking official in the Imperial Capital?
Ningshuang had also made a name for herself and become a big figure in the police department?
Even that girl Su Yuluo was a prominent figure in the university town.
Filled with emotion, she wished she had wings to fly back to the familiar small house of the Su family.
Suddenly, Axue remembered something. "I have another sister. She stayed with me when I was at my lowest point. Sister Lian, she… she was also in that van."
Qin Yexuan thought of the unconscious woman and sighed, shaking his head. "She's probably beyond saving."
"Brother-in-law, you must save her." Su Xueqing pleaded tearfully. "If it weren't for Sister Lian, I would have given up long ago. I vowed that if I could be saved, if I could see you again, I would definitely save her."
Qin Yexuan slowly nodded. "I'll try later."
The strange feeling in his heart grew stronger.
Everything seemed to have been orchestrated.
"Axue, wait for me for a moment, I need to do something."
Qin Yexuan walked towards the stone tablet and then reached out, grabbing something from the void.
A moment later, a glowing orb the size of a glass bead appeared in his palm.
This orb was composed of the energy of the small world, and inside it was the space of the small world.
A mysterious power asked in his consciousness, "What are you doing?"
"Forewarned is forearmed. I want to preserve a fragment of the small world. If something unexpected happens and this world is destroyed, I can still reshape the small world through this fragment."
"Qin Yexuan, aren't you being a little too cautious?"
"Heh heh, old fellow, being cautious ten thousand times is not too much. One careless mistake and it's all over."
He turned and whistled towards the outside of the valley.
Before long, the lion cat rushed in swiftly, jumped onto his shoulder with a meow.
Qin Yexuan opened his palm. "Useless creature, swallow it!"
The lion cat dared not say anything and quickly swallowed the small glowing orb.
Qin Yexuan grabbed the cat by the neck and glared at it. "You so-called old monster are truly useless and trash. Since you can't help in other ways, you can at least protect this small orb, right?"
The lion cat raised its paws and repeatedly clasped them in supplication. "Boss, I will protect it well. Please don't worry, I am useful."
"It better be!" Qin Yexuan sneered. "Also, you'll have to get used to eating cat food from now on!"
The lion cat nodded in misery.
Qin Yexuan let it go. Su Xueqing saw it and cried out in surprise, picking it up.
"Brother-in-law, you've become young again and so loving. You've even started keeping a cat."
Su Xueqing seemed to have recovered quickly and was even in the mood to joke.
Qin Yexuan chuckled. "This cat is useless."
They walked out of the valley. The stone tablet behind them slowly rose, blocking the entrance to the small world.
Inside the small world, the female Rakshasa knelt obediently before Ayu, listening to Ayu's instructions.
But a smug smile played on her lips.
Everything was according to Master Folian's plan.
Wasn't Qin Yexuan, who was praised so highly, still being led by the nose by Master Folian?
Outside, Folian was still unconscious. She had deliberately dispersed her strength, gambling everything.
She bet that Su Xueqing would definitely beg Qin Yexuan to save her!
Qin Yexuan took the silver needle handed by Ling Su and first pulled up Folian's sleeve.
Everyone around let out gasps of shock.
Her arm was covered in scars, as if cut countless times. Her dark palms were full of traces of torture.
"This girl must have suffered a lot. Her hands are too frightening."
Qin Yexuan hummed and, after carefully observing the girl's arm, slowly began to use the needles.
The Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate were used with consummate skill in his hands.
He could even save half-dead people.
This girl clearly had a strong will to survive. In a short while, she began to gasp heavily and then spat out three mouthfuls of clotted blood.
Su Xueqing excitedly rushed forward and hugged the girl, crying.
This was the first time she had seen Sister Lian's true face. For so many days, through every difficult night, it was Sister Lian who comforted and accompanied her.
Qin Yexuan handed the silver needle to Jun Mengyao and whispered, "Take the DNA on this needle and have it tested. Get Ningshuang to cooperate with you. Use the Great Xia Police Department's database and find this girl's identity information. Conduct a thorough investigation."
Jun Mengyao's eyes flickered. "Sir suspects her?"
Qin Yexuan shook his head. "Everything seems reasonable. She is Xueqing's benefactor. I am not suspecting, but being cautious."
The girl woke up and held Su Xueqing's hand tightly, refusing to let go.
The more people there were, the more afraid she seemed.
Qin Yexuan asked everyone to step back and crouched beside her alone, taking her pulse.
"You… you are the brother-in-law that Axue mentioned? Why… why are you so young?" The girl looked surprised, her expression pure.
Qin Yexuan did not explain, nor did he speak. He simply smiled and nodded.
"Brother-in-law, Sister Lian is one of us. She is also a victim. Can I stay with her?"
Qin Yexuan pondered for a moment. "You will go to Ningshuang's place for now. As for this Miss Lian, it's better to send her to school. I will help her recuperate. You can visit her at school anytime you want."
Su Xueqing didn't think much about it. After talking with Lian Hua for a long time, she reluctantly boarded the arriving helicopter.
After the helicopter flew away, Folian sat quietly.
"Mr. Qin, may I address you as such?"
Qin Yexuan smiled. "You know my name? Did Axue tell you?"
"No, Axue only said you were her brother-in-law. As for your name, I secretly heard it from that old thief Fowu. They colluded with Zhu Xiaotian and those people, and they kept mentioning your name."
Qin Yexuan frowned. "So, Miss Lian Hua has an unusual identity."
Folian's eyes were clear, and her expression was sincere. "Nominally, I am the Peacock Ming King Buddha Mother of Dongling Temple. They call me Holy Mother Folian. That scoundrel Fowu has been grooming me to be the Buddha Mother for his believers, using my name to control thousands of people." Su Dan Novel Network
She coughed and looked at the wreckage of the van. "And, in reality, I am Fowu's illegitimate daughter!"
Qin Yexuan was shocked. "What did you say?"
