The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 808: Chapter 808: You Really Are a Lunatic

”You’re truly a madwoman.” Han Qingjue looked at Xia Ji coldly, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

Xia Ji laughed out loud: ”A madwoman? So what? I just want to obtain something I almost got in the past. I will wait for you at Tianqing Pool, the location is here, remember it well. If there’s any slip-up, I don’t have the time to save you.”

Xia Ji laid out a map on the table, pointing to the location of Tianqing Pool and the Illusion Bamboo Forest to Han Qingjue: ”Do you remember? After taking the blood, leave quickly, as fast as possible. The best time is when they’re caught off guard, our chances of success will be greater.”

What Xia Ji wanted was to catch them by surprise, mixing truth with falsehood, so they wouldn’t have the opportunity to discern.

If she planned every step carefully, there would instead be more loopholes. It would be better to be straightforward and crude; the effect would be better.

Xia Ji let Han Qingjue leave. At this moment, Ling Xiang had finally broken through Red Silk’s restriction and came over. Seeing Han Qingjue come out, he couldn’t help but frown and asked, ”Are you alright?”

Han Qingjue shook his head and pointed outside: ”Let’s talk outside.”

Ling Xiang looked skeptically at the closed door, not knowing what kind of scheme Han Qingjue and Xia Ji were up to.

Han Qingjue knew that all her actions were under Xia Ji’s control. She had no right to resist and no ability to escape her grasp. It was her own doing, knowing full well that Xia Ji lured her to the Xia Clan for no good reason, yet she still followed.

So truly, many things are one wrong step leading to another, to the point of having no power to resolve it.

However, she knew that even if she had a chance to choose again, she would still follow, still willingly fall into Xia Ji’s trap.

Because, despite everything, it was precisely this least trustworthy person who could, to some extent, gain Xia Ji’s trust.

Just as Xia Ji said, some things, the more impossible a person seems, the more capable they are of accomplishing it.

Han Qingjue and Ling Xiang left the courtyard, walking a long way before Han Qingjue spoke: ”She didn’t harm me, but she indeed wants to refine the Shengxue Pearl, and refining the Shengxue Pearl does require a lot of people’s blood. I don’t know if she’s targeting me, but she’s targeting someone else.”

”Who?” Ling Xiang frowned deeply.

”Xiao Xue.” Han Qingjue replied.

”What?” Even Ling Xiang couldn’t stay calm now. He didn’t want to meddle in too many affairs, but Xiao Xue was different; she was still a child. Moreover, she was Xia Ji’s own granddaughter—had she gone mad?

”Isn’t it strange, why would she tell me?” Han Qingjue forced a smile, a flicker of pain crossing her eyes.

”I don’t know about the grievances between you and Xia Ji, and also with Su Yunpeng, but no matter which of you, you cannot harm a child. She is the most innocent.” If Xia Ji made a move on Han Qingjue, Ling Xiang wouldn’t stand by; he would try his best to prevent it.

But if any one of them intended to harm Xiao Xue, he would stop them even if it meant risking his life.

He would never allow anyone to destroy her pure innocence. She was still a child untainted by the world, and she should not suffer these undue involvements, nor should she be hurt by anyone.
