Chapter 166 And Me
As Miss Duan looked down at the two people whose necks had been snapped, her body trembled involuntarily. A chill ran down her spine, filling her with fear.
That's ruthless!
Miss Duan pondered to herself, "I never expected that this young master Li, who seems so refined, would be so ruthless and decisive when he takes action!"
Thinking of this, Ms. Duan's forehead began to break out in a cold sweat.
She suddenly realized that she had just witnessed him committing murder. Would Young Master Li kill someone to cover it up?
If that's really the case... I wonder if it's too late to escape now?
Miss Duan turned to look at Young Master Li beside her and saw that he was calm and did not seem to have any intention of making a move.
"Miss Duan, it's getting late. Go back to your room and rest. But don't forget your mission. We can talk about any questions tomorrow."
After saying this, Li Qing leaped down the high wall and came to the corpses of Daoist Qingfeng and Monk Fakong.
Once someone is killed, the body must be disposed of.
Using her telekinetic power, she swept up the two corpses and they vanished from Miss Duan's sight in an instant.
......
It was a restless night.
As the eastern sky gradually turned a pale white, sunlight streamed through the window and illuminated Li Qing's room.
At breakfast time, Li Qing sat down at the table and immediately noticed Miss Duan sitting opposite him. She looked haggard with obvious dark circles under her eyes and appeared exhausted.
Madam Li noticed Miss Duan's unusual behavior and asked curiously, "Eh? Miss Duan, why do you look like this? Did you not sleep well last night? Is the bed in the Li residence uncomfortable? If you need anything, please let us know."
It's all because of your young master Li!
I wonder where Young Master Li took those two bodies last night?
Miss Duan scratched her head and chuckled, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Madam Li. I'm fine. I just didn't get enough rest last night because I was worried about Young Master Li's safety."
"Is that so? Then Miss Duan is truly dedicated. Once Miss Duan has vanquished the evil spirits, my Li family will certainly repay you handsomely," Li Qing said with a smile.
Ha ha!
Miss Duan really wanted to leave the Li residence right now. She didn't care about the five hundred taels of silver. Anyway, Young Master Li could deal with the monster on his own, and no one in the Li residence would be in any trouble if she left.
wrong!
She couldn't leave. This monster wasn't very strong, and she could easily deal with it. It was like getting five hundred taels of silver for free. Where else could you find such a good deal outside?
"Huan'er, hurry over and see if Master Qingfeng and Master Fakong have gotten up yet."
"Since the two of them have come to our Li residence as guests, let's not even talk about anything else. Just this matter of breakfast alone, if we don't invite them to share, and if others find out, they'll say that our Li residence is impolite and has mistreated our guests."
Having not seen Master Qingfeng and Monk Fakong for a long time, out of courtesy, Madam Li looked at Huan'er and spoke.
"Yes, ma'am."
Following Madam Li's instructions, the young maid Huan'er immediately went to the room of Daoist Qingfeng and Monk Fakong.
......
A few minutes later, the maid Huan'er rushed back to the main hall, looking flustered and panting, and said, "It's terrible! Madam, something terribly wrong has happened! I just went to Master Qingfeng and Master Fakong's room, but I couldn't find them anywhere!"
Huan'er's voice was filled with fear and unease, and her face was as pale as paper, clearly terrified by this sudden turn of events.
She then added, "I also asked the other servants in the manor, but they all said they had never seen these two exorcists."
"Was it because evil spirits appeared last night and killed the two masters...?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Li frowned slightly, but unlike Huan'er, she did not panic. On the contrary, she appeared unusually calm.
She gently patted Huan'er's shoulder and comforted her, "Alright, Huan'er, don't be afraid! Calm down first."
Although Madam Li's voice was not loud, it revealed a firmness and composure, which calmed Huan'er's emotions somewhat.
"How could the two masters have vanished into thin air? Did some evil spirit attack them last night?"
Miss Duan, who was standing to the side, understood a lot from this scene. This young master Li was really good at hiding his true intentions!
The people in the Li family were probably completely unaware of Li Qing's abilities.
"Madam Li, I am certain that no evil spirits invaded the Li residence last night. I kept watch all night and did not detect any intrusion. As for the disappearance of Master Qingfeng and Master Fakong, there must be another reason." After a moment of contemplation, Miss Duan continued, "There is something that I found quite suspicious yesterday..."
"Oh? What do you find suspicious, Miss Duan?"
"Regarding the identities of Daoist Qingfeng and Monk Fakong as exorcists, I suspect their identities as exorcists are fabricated!"
“When I passed by Young Master Li’s room yesterday, I smelled the lingering demonic aura in the air. We exorcists are very sensitive to demonic aura and can determine a lot from subtle demonic aura, such as the type of demon or its strength.”
"Master Qingfeng and Monk Fakong also went to Young Master Li's room yesterday. As long as they are exorcists, it is impossible for them not to smell the demonic aura in the room."
"Not only did they not smell any demonic aura, but they also felt that Young Master Li was being haunted by ghosts. That's when I realized that their identities as exorcists were fake!"
"I see. So, Master Qingfeng and Monk Fakong must have known that they were no match for evil spirits and could not swindle any money from the Li family, so they hurriedly fled under the cover of night, right?" Madam Li said with a slight frown and some worry.
"Letting them leave like this is letting them off too easily; they dared to try and deceive the Li family..."
It seems that the two of them were just con artists who only cared about their own safety when faced with danger, and didn't care about the lives of others. Perhaps they have already fled to other places and continued their scams.
After hearing what Madam Li had to say, Miss Duan couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Li Qing.
How could Master Qingfeng and Monk Fakong possibly benefit? They're both dead now, and might not even have a complete corpse left behind.
Your young master Li is ruthless!
Kill decisively.
"However, Madam Li, don't worry. Those two charlatans are gone, but I'm still here. I will protect Young Master Li's safety."
"Well then, I'll trouble you, Miss Duan."
......
After finishing breakfast, Li Qing got up and left the lobby, strolling through the Li family garden, with Miss Duan, full of questions and curiosity, following closely behind him.
After Li Qing stopped and sat down at a stone table, Miss Duan mustered up the courage to go up and ask.
