Xie Qiao thought what Xia Yayun said was funny.
"Young Lady Xia is so loud, are you firecrackers?" Xie Qiao looked at the gloomy weather outside the window. She was in a bad mood. Her face turned cold right away seeing Xia Yayun's face of bad luck, "If you think I brought bad luck to you, you can go downstairs now. I believe many people are willing to look at you down there."
Xia Yayun covered her clothes immediately, "Why are you so vicious?!"
Xie Qiao chuckled when she heard that. She sighed and put away her small peach wood sword. She then walked to Xia Yayun, "Young Lady Xia seems to misunderstand what viciousness is. But since you've already said that, I'm afraid I might disappoint you if I don't be vicious to you."
Xie Qiao walked to the stove with silver coal as soon as she was done speaking. She tossed it at Xia Yayun's face.
The pitch-black coal was still warm from before. One's skin would feel it the deepest.
Xia Yayun did not expect Xie Qiao to do that since she was weak. She screamed directly when she felt the pain on her face, "Ahh! What are you guys waiting for?! Tear her mouth off for me!"
Her maidservant stepped forward she they heard that.
Xie Qiao grinned and enunciated word after word slowly and in determination, "My Eldest Brother is Xie Pinggang. If I lost a hair here today, tomorrow…Young Lady Xia will have to offer pieces of your flesh for my Father and Brother to avenge me."
What was a big brother for?
A big brother was not a decorative item.
The maidservant had a change of expression. She turned her head in hesitation and looked at the young lady.
Xia Yayun's lips trembled lightly. She looked very pitiful.
Xie Qiao used her hand to rub Xia Yayun's face. The coal on her face was much more balanced now, "Threaten one with power and majesty. That's what viciousness looks like. I've done a great job today. Don't you think so, Young Lady Xia?"
A ghoul hovered up and stared directly at her as soon as Xie Qiao was done speaking.
The smell of the talisman water earlier must have attracted the attention of many ghouls.
Now that Xie Qiao mentioned Xie Pinggang, Xia Yayun was furious like a toad, "Xie Qiao, aren't you scared that I'd get my Father to tell on your father, saying that he's loose with his daughter?! Your father is a bandit, who would side with him?!"
"Go ahead! If he doesn't tell on my Father, then your father is a jerk," Xie Qiao snickered.
Her father was a bandit. Did he manage to become an official just by having that insignificant fighting ability?
Naturally not.
The Emperor trusted and doted on the grand preceptor. The grand preceptor came from the same bandit mountain stronghold as his father. When the grand preceptor could not protect her father, she still had her master and the five useless junior brothers!
At most, she would reveal who she really was. Would that not protect her father by then?
Xie Qiao's majesty scared Fang Muxue and the other two out of their wits.
When had they seen such…hot-tempered Xie Qiao?!
Even when Yuan Bin humiliated Xie Pinghuai or when Qi Huai from Peony Courtyard got people to stir trouble, Xie Qiao was calm as if she was an expert. Nobody could compare her generosity, no?!
However…
Not only did she use violence now, but she was also even cursing.
It was as if she was a different person. Nobody knew why she was so furious and terrifying.
Although Xia Yayun had crossed the line, they thought what Xia Yayun said should not cross Xie Qiao's bottom line. Why…did she have such a big reaction?
Xie Qiao's face was cold, there was chilliness exuding from her body.
At that moment, the ghoul that hovered up snarled at her, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Young lady, you can see me, right?"
