The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: I Will Take Responsibility

She poked his face with slightly warm fingers, causing him, who was not very accustomed to being touched by others, to become momentarily stiff. However, he didn’t shy away and instead seriously considered what she said.

She could tell that Shi Qi was a descendant of the Ning Clan. Who on earth is she?

”Don’t bother guessing, you won’t be able to figure it out anyway.” Xiaoqi withdrew her hand, resting her chin on both hands and said to him, ”The passage he mentioned for leaving has long been sealed. The only remaining way is to sacrifice a life to the formation and use his own life to open the passage. You all definitely wouldn’t consider this, right?”

Xiaoqi’s fingers lightly tapped her face. ”So, if he says it’s definitely possible to leave, that should include the option of exchanging a life when there’s truly no way out. In that case, would you still want to leave?”

Su Xingqiao, hearing Xiaoqi’s words, was no longer able to stay calm, incredulously asking, ”Are you telling the truth?”

Xiaoqi pursed her lips and said, ”Why don’t you believe me again? I have no benefit in deceiving you. I don’t even know Shi Qi; his life or death has nothing to do with me.”

Su Xingqiao furrowed his brows. He didn’t want to believe her, but she was right; Ning Shiqi had nothing to do with her. Even if Ning Shiqi was prepared to sacrifice himself when necessary, it was his own matter. She could completely choose not to tell him.

She didn’t have a reason to deceive him about such matters.

But why does she know these things?

”Are you... also a member of the Ning Clan?” Su Xingqiao asked suspiciously.

”Of course not! I don’t like the people of Ningxi Island at all. Although they were instrumental in creating the Futu Realm, they often abuse their power. They only became a bit more honest after being beaten. They are really not likable.” Xiaoqi said with disdain to Su Xingqiao, ”If it weren’t for the fact that Shi Qi is not from Ningxi Island, I wouldn’t have brought you here. The incidents on Shuiqi Island are mostly related to those from Ningxi Island! I better not catch them, or they’ll be in trouble!”

”Pa” Xiaoqi suddenly slapped the table and stood up quickly, ”I have to catch him. How could I forget? Only by catching him can we detoxify!”

”What did you say?” Hearing this, Su Xingqiao could not contain his excitement again: ”Detoxify? You said, it can be detoxified?”

Xiaoqi looked at him, as if there was something she wanted to say but then swallowed back, pausing before continuing, ”Yes, as long as we catch that poisoner and kill him, we can detoxify.”

Xiaoqi grabbed Su Xingqiao’s arm and said to him, ”Don’t worry, I will take responsibility. Initially, I came here to handle some small matters and didn’t want to meddle, but... sigh, anyway, I will definitely catch that person and get you detoxified. But, you must consider my words carefully. I’m off to explore the enemy’s situation, see you!”

With that, Xiaoqi left like the wind.

The air held a faint lingering fragrance, proving she had been there.

Su Xingqiao stood in a daze for a long while before coming to his senses. He reached over and destroyed the letter he had left on the table, then went out and knocked on Han Jing’s door, ”Imperial Uncle, Jing’er, are you asleep?”
