“What do you think of Xie Jinnian?”
Su Xiaoxiao asked Wei Ting.
He didn’t seem to have expressed his opinion of Xie Jinnian. Wei Ting paused and said, “He reminds me of a Gu Master.”
“He’s a Gu Master?” Wei Liulang was surprised. “Why didn’t I see it?”
Wei Ting said, “I’m referring to his actions of buying birds. When Gu Masters refine Gu, they put different poisonous insects and poisons together and let them kill each other. Only the last one to survive can become the Gu Master’s Gu. This Xie Jinnian also let birds kill each other, leaving only one alive. Take today’s matter of him spending 10 ,ooo taels to buy Wuhu for example. If Wuhu wins, his 10,000 taels will be worth it. If Wuhu dies, he would have used 10,000 taels to confirm the value of the black crow.”

Wei Liulang frowned. “Why don’t I understand?”
Wei Ting smiled. “Because Sixth Brother’s heart is not as dark as his.”
Su Xiaoxiao understood.
What Wei Ting wanted to say was that Xie Jinnian was an extreme adventurer and liked to gamble.
Such people were often bold.
There was nothing he did not dare to do, including offending the Holy Maiden Temple.
Now, it depended on whether they could make good use of Xie Jinnian.
After hearing Su Xiaoxiao’s a.n.a.lysis, Wei Ting said to Wei Liulang, “This is called telepathy.”
Wei Ting, who had been showing off his affection recently, finally welcomed his brother’s beating.
Wei Liulang was still very worried about Wuhu.
After all, Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu liked that bird so much. If something happened to it, the three little fellows would cry.
After Xie Jinnian put Wuhu into the bird cage and covered the cage with a black cloth, he didn’t care about the two birds anymore.
He never admired the process of the two birds fighting. He only cared about the final outcome.
It was rare for him to leave the palace for a day, so he naturally had many things to do.
When he returned to the house after he was done, it was already late.
He seemed to have finally remembered the two birds and came to the birdhouse where the cage was placed.
As he untied the black cloth from the birdcage, something unexpected
happened.
Both birds were actually alive.
This was the first time Xie Jinnian had encountered such a magical scene in many years.
He knew how combative his black crow was.
No bird could live peacefully with the black crow.
However, not only was this little parrot alive and well, but it also a.s.sumed an extremely arrogant posture.
It was lying down. One of its bird claws was actually on the other.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be crossing their legs.
The black crow did not disturb it and pecked at its feathers alone.
Xie Jinnian looked at the parrot and suddenly smiled. “Interesting.”
After leaving the bird market, Su Xiaoxiao went back with Wei Ting and Wei Liulang to check on Su Li and Wei Xu’s injuries.
Su Li was young and could withstand beatings. He would recover in a few days.
On the other hand, Wei Xu had yet to recover from his old injuries. Coupled with the scorching aura he had absorbed for Wei Qing last time, his condition worsened.
The reason why the Saintess could control him was related to this.
The Snake Bone Flower had yet to bloom. Ordinary medicine was useless to him. Su Xiaoxiao gave Wei Ting two tranquilizers.
“If you encounter the Saintess controlling Dad again, inject him. You know how to do it, right?”
“I’ve seen you do it.”
Wei Ting said.
Su Xiaoxiao was relieved. “That’s good. It’s getting late. I’ll go back first. You don’t have to send me off. Stay with Dad.”
After leaving the courtyard, Su Xiaoxiao went to Elder Lou’s residence to see Su Xuan.
She did not lie to Princess Hui An. After she returned to the Cheng family last night, she did ask Uncle Quan for two trustworthy servants to take care of Su
Xuan.
Su Xuan had just taken his medicine and fallen asleep.
Su Xiaoxiao took his pulse.
He was really asleep, not pretending to be asleep.
“Forget it, I’ll let you off first. I’ll interrogate you about Jade-faced Rakshasa another day!”
Su Xiaoxiao returned to the Cheng family.
Cheng Sang, Mei Ji, and the children went to the garden to play.
Princess Hui An was waiting for her in the courtyard. Seeing Su Xiaoxiao return, her eyes lit up. “Little sidekick! ” “Huahua,” Su Xiaoxiao greeted.
Princess Hui An asked, “Have you seen Su Xuan today?”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t answer. Instead, she asked her, “Are you worried about him?”
Princess Hui An pretended to be calm and said, “He was injured because he bought me rice cakes. It’s only right for me to worry.”
Su Xiaoxiao saw through it and didn’t expose her. “His injuries are fine. Don’t worry.”
Princess Hui An lowered her eyes and nodded.
Su Xiaoxiao called Uncle Quan over. “Can you get some of Cheng Qingyao’s personal belongings?”
It was useless to sow discord between the Holy Maiden and the King of the
Southern Wilderness without evidence. They had to obtain human testimony
and material evidence..
