Chapter 363: Chapter 363: I, Su Yuexi, Am Not a Burden
But Mei Xiaofang’s body shook slightly, as she realized that it was none other than the commander of the Black Burning Army who had come to see them in person.
Next to her, Su Yuexi stood up and gave Beigong Xianfeng a slight bow, saying, "Young lady Su Yuexi, I’ve seen the commander."
"In response to the commander’s question, my husband Sikong Jing and I are from the Canglong Small Domain and have no relationship with the Wangyou Sect at all."
Her tone was soft, giving off a feeling as refreshing as a spring breeze.
However, the next instant... Bang!
Cao Yi suddenly rose from his seat and stared at Su Yuexi sternly, "Do you still dare to say there’s no connection? Do you have any idea how serious the repercussions of your actions are? Do you know how many people have died?"
"The crimes you committed, even convicting nine generations of your family would be considered lenient."
As his words fell, a murderous aura swept through the room, causing Mei Xiaofang to fall to the ground with a plop, her face turning pale with fright.
In contrast, Su Yuexi remained calm, her beautiful eyes filled with self-assurance.
Having withstood many trials and tribulations with Brother Jing, Su Yuexi had gradually grown stronger.
She was no longer the Su Family’s ugly freak of Yunye City, but now Brother Jing’s wife.
She had promised Brother Jing in the Lan Family Mansion that she would handle the subsequent affairs of the Long Night Empire and had even said she would handle them well.
With determination, Su Yuexi wouldn’t just be a burden to Sikong Jing.
Thus, Su Yuexi looked up calmly, facing Cao Yi.
"Even if many more people had died, it is the fault of the Long Night Black Burning Army for not controlling its subordinates effectively, leading to a general of the 67th Army colluding with Lan Gou and bringing harm to the families of the Black Burning Soldiers, which includes us."
Upon hearing this, a gleam of appreciation flickered in Beigong Xianfeng’s eyes as he looked at Su Yuexi.
Cao Yi, on the other hand, was left stunned by the retort, his aura not nearly as overwhelming as it had been, but he still insisted with a stern shout, "You, a mere woman, dare to speak to us this way, do you wish to die?"
Su Yuexi gazed back at Cao Yi and said again, "If eliminating another corrupt official for Beigong Commander would still lead to our death, then indeed, we are powerless and can only say that the Long Night Black Burning Army probably has an endless problem."
The general of the 67th Army, Fu Mian, was a corrupt element within the Black Burning Army.
Yan Shun, the big corrupt official, was removed thanks to Sikong Jing, and now Fu Mian, the lesser one, was also removed because of Sikong Jing.
After speaking, Su Yuexi looked at them both, her eyes still holding an innocence.
But in her heart, she found it somewhat amusing; it was obvious that Beigong Xianfeng and Cao Yi were playing good cop, bad cop.
She was well aware of their interrogation tactics.
Cao Yi wasn’t as fierce as he appeared on the surface; it was all an act.
Meanwhile, Mei Xiaofang was already scared out of her wits.
Yue Xi now speaks just like Ajing, both of them frightening without taking responsibility for the consequences.
She really wanted to remind her daughter that they were dealing with the commander of the Black Burning Army.
At this point, Cao Yi could hardly maintain his act and turned expectantly to Beigong Xianfeng.
The latter stroked his white beard and chuckled, "Don’t worry, you won’t be denied credit for rooting out the corruption, but the many people killed by the Wangyou Sect because of you also need to be accounted for."
After speaking, Beigong Xianfeng continued to gaze intently at Su Yuexi.
"Beigong Commander, I can assure you that we have no connection with the Wangyou Sect, at least not any current connection..."
"On the Divine Spaceship of the Wangyou Sect, all the people of the Wangyou Sect are dead."
As she said this, Su Yuexi deliberately paused for effect.
Sure enough, Beigong Xianfeng couldn’t hold back and his eyes widened, while Cao Yi stood up to ask, "What do you mean?"
All of them dead? How could that be?
"This matter has to start with the auction at Wanbao Pavilion half a month ago."
Su Yuexi replied with a calm expression, "Half a month ago, after my husband, Sikong Jing, left Wanbao Pavilion, he encountered the terrifying pursuit of the Long Night Star Palace..."
"All the way to the Minglong Mountain Range, he managed to counter-kill all the students of the Star Palace."
"But the people of the Wangyou Sect suddenly appeared, suspecting my husband was the murderer who killed their disciples, and under the incitement of the surviving Star Palace students, the Wangyou Sect dealt a vicious blow to my husband..."
These matters were, of course, all told to her by the Feiyun Butterfly, and Su Yuexi had organized them well.
Then, Su Yuexi looked toward Beigong Xianfeng and said, "Logically speaking, my husband should have no chance of survival against the Wangyou Sect, but he happened to know a terrifying human-shaped demon beast..."
The previous words were true, but the last were fabricated.
The human-shaped monster was Sikong Jing himself.
But Su Yuexi could not reveal the truth and had to present it just like she told Mei Xiaofang, only mentioning the demon beast Sikong Jing knew.
"This demon beast was once saved by my husband in the Canglong Small Domain, but its mind was unclear..."
Next, Su Yuexi invented reasons, stating that the human-shaped demon beast was summoned by Sikong Jing, who slaughtered all the people of the Wangyou Sect and then the two of them used the sect’s Divine Spaceship to return to the Long Night Imperial City.
"Originally, my husband’s idea was to use the name of the Wangyou Sect to further entrap the Star Palace."
"But unexpectedly, upon arriving at the Long Night Black Burning Army with the demon beast, he discovered that I had been kidnapped and thus began searching for my whereabouts, which culminated in the scene you witnessed."
Having said that, Su Yuexi sat back down, smoothing her hair on her forehead as she awaited their response.
Beigong Xianfeng and Cao Yi were dumbfounded, exchanging glances.
This was completely different from what they had anticipated.
It was not the Wangyou Sect helping Sikong Jing and his wife, but Sikong Jing and the human-shaped demon beast are who did this.
They wiped out the disciples of the Wangyou Sect and even caused a major earthquake in the Long Night Imperial City.
After a good while, Beigong Xianfeng finally asked, "So, are you saying Sikong Jing is inside the Divine Spaceship of the Wangyou Sect?"
The human-shaped monster was always the one taking action, because Beigong Xianfeng believed that Sikong Jing was hiding inside the Divine Spaceship, commanding...
"Yes, all of the above were told to me by him when he was at the Lan Family Mansion," confirmed Su Yuexi with a nod.
Mei Xiaofang at her side was somewhat bewildered, when had Ajing ever appeared?
But naturally, she would not voice this. Perhaps Ajing had secretly conveyed some message to Su Yuexi?
"Where is he now? Why did he leave? Why didn’t he stay?"
Cao Yi quickly turned his gaze to Su Yuexi and asked seriously, "Or else, why didn’t he take you with him to escape?"
Looking at the two men, Su Yuexi smiled faintly.
"If my Brother Jing had stayed, wouldn’t that give you the power to deal with him however you wished?"
"As for why he didn’t take us with him, he obviously wanted to show his sincerity to the Beigong Commander, hoping that the commander could help him withstand the pressure from the Wangyou Sect."
"He didn’t want the Wangyou Sect to trace it back to him, after all, so many disciples of the sect are dead."
Opening their mouths, Beigong Xianfeng and his companion exchanged glances once more, suddenly understanding Sikong Jing’s intent.
Killing the people of the Wangyou Sect and seizing their Divine Spaceship was too fearsome and serious; he needed someone to protect him, but he was uncertain if the Long Night Black Burning Army would offer that protection, so he had to leave first.
Leaving Su Yuexi behind was to show his sincerity, proving his loyalty was with the Long Night Black Burning Army.
At the same time, it was also to leave Su Yuexi behind to negotiate with himself.
"My Brother Jing also said that if the Long Night Black Burning Army couldn’t protect him and our family, or if they were to hand us over to the Wangyou Sect, then there would be another demon beast rampage in the Long Night Imperial City,"
"The whole Long Night Imperial City... will suffer immensely!"
Su Yuexi suddenly spoke up, her tone turning grim, which seemed incongruous with her beautiful appearance.
