CHAPTER 319: CHAPTER 319

Listening to Lan Xin repeatedly shouting those few words, and watching as she gradually lost her original enthusiasm, Cen Lizhui grew impatient: "Alright, shut up."

He extended his hand, and Lan Xin suddenly found that she couldn’t open her mouth anymore.

"Mm mm!" Lan Xin clawed at her mouth, feeling utterly terrified.

"As you wish, we won’t do anything to you," Cen Lizhui said coldly, "Since you think we wronged you, we’ll hand you over to your beloved young master and see what he has to say. After all, he’s your master."

Upon hearing this, Lan Xin immediately quieted down, stopped trying to open her mouth, stopped clawing, and even gained a bit of composure in her demeanor.

Handed over to the young master? Then she’s not afraid.

She always believed she had a significant role with Huo Lian, that she was so useful that the young master wouldn’t casually deal with her.

Besides, Chen Muxue, that demoness, hadn’t suffered at all. Even if the young master was temporarily bewitched by the demoness, since she wasn’t harmed, he surely wouldn’t hold her accountable.

As Lan Xin thought, she felt a bit smug, and in her glance at Cen Lizhui, there was even a hint of provocation and triumph.

"This person probably has a problem with her brain, you can tell just by looking at her," Lin Qing couldn’t help but shudder at Lan Xin’s appearance and whispered in Cen Lizhui’s ear.

Cen Lizhui dodged aside slightly in disdain: "Alright, once day breaks we’ll throw her in front of Huo Lian and explain the situation, that’s enough. A servant of the Huo Family, it’s considered their family matter anyway. Fortunately, nothing happened to Chen Muxue; if something had happened, she would have been dead already."

"Wow, how can you people from the Immortal Sect be so cruel? I thought you were all compassionate immortal reservists," Lin Qing exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Cen Lizhui rolled his eyes at him: "Compassion is for Buddha, mind your own business about immortals, don’t interfere!"

Lin Qing pouted, this guy, talking about him just a couple of words and he starts acting all superior!

The group returned to Chen Muxue’s room, leaving Lan Xin alone in the yard, realizing she couldn’t move again.

"Hey!" She called out repeatedly, her voice cracking, yet no one paid attention.

"Should we help her?" A maid who had previously been suspicious of Lan Xin felt a bit sympathetic seeing her like this.

But the maid who had stood by Lan Xin was indifferent: "Oh, there’s no point in helping, it’s their immortal magic. Do you have cultivation? No way to help! Let’s go, let’s go. If we don’t do our own jobs well, we’ll be in trouble if the superiors start questioning us later!"

Many servants watching the commotion muttered "bad luck," feeling it was not entertaining but actually wasting their time!

Even if I can’t solve it, I could at least pass her some water... the maid who felt sympathy glanced at Lan Xin, saw that everyone else was leaving, hesitated for a moment, but still followed the crowd.

Usually, Lan Xin relied on being one of the few first-class maids in the other courtyard and was the one reporting to the young master, so although they were all servants, she was particularly superior. If there were no guests, she was almost like the master, and this arrogant attitude led her to have no friends and even quite a few who secretly resented her.

So now, she had no way to shoo away the mosquitoes, being bitten all over her face, just having shouted for so long, now thirsty and helpless, she could only keep licking her lips, staring dazedly at the sky, hoping day would arrive soon.
