Lin Xian'er: You Won't Think I'm a Bad Woman, Will You?

"Miss Xian'er, what do you mean by this?"
"Li Xunhuan is the Plum Blossom Bandit; you said so yourself!"
"Why are we suddenly the despicable villains now?"
Zhao Zhengyi and his group were all confused by Lin Xian'er and couldn't help but speak up.
"Li Tan Hua is of high moral character. If it weren't for your coercion, how could I have slandered him!"
Lin Xian'er spoke with an air of righteousness: "A Fei, quickly strike and kill these despicable villains to save Li Tan Hua!"
Behind Lin Xian'er, the cold-faced youth named A Fei had already lightly raised the sword in his hand.
Strictly speaking, it couldn't even be called a sword; it was just a piece of iron over three feet long.
It had no edge, no crossguard, and not even a proper hilt—just two pieces of leather stuck to the top to serve as a handle. Seeing Li Xunhuan, A Fei immediately charged toward the exit.
Seeing this, Master Tian Qi immediately stepped forward to block him.
It had taken so much effort to capture Li Xunhuan; there might not be a next time. However, A Fei simply swung the iron piece in his hand, and Master Tian Qi collapsed to the ground. Behind him, Gongsun Mayun also charged forward, striking a palm at A Fei's back.
But at that moment, A Fei suddenly turned. His sword swing was so fast no one could see it clearly, and another person fell to the ground. The "Great Heroes" on the scene all changed their expressions simultaneously.
Gongsun Mayun, whose Cloud-Rubbing Hand was famous in the Jianghu, and Master Tian Qi with his Heaven-Suppressing Staff—neither could withstand a single blow from this youth? If he wanted to kill them all, it probably wouldn't take much effort!
As A Fei continued his assault, the surrounding heroes fled one after another.
Zhao Zhengyi's face turned pale. Suddenly realizing something, he said coldly: "Lin Xian'er, this was all your plan, wasn't it?"
But Lin Xian'er only maintained a pitiful and fragile expression: "Master Zhao, what are you saying? Xian'er doesn't understand."
Zhao Zhengyi suddenly burst into laughter: "Fine, do you really think one youth is enough to succeed? Long Xiaoyun, how long do you plan to keep pretending!"
Long Xiaoyun, who had been feigning regret, stopped pretending.
A dagger appeared at the throat of Li Xunhuan, who had long since had his acupoints sealed. Li Xunhuan was not surprised, but his eyes still held a hint of sorrow.
"Brother, you've helped me so much already. You won't mind helping me one more time, will you?"
Long Xiaoyun didn't dare look into Li Xunhuan's eyes, seemingly talking to himself.
Seeing Li Xunhuan held hostage by Long Xiaoyun, Zhao Zhengyi also laughed loudly: "Stop at once! Otherwise, Li Xunhuan dies immediately!"
A Fei bit his lip but stopped his sword.
"Lin Xian'er, I'll give you one last chance. Is Li Xunhuan the Plum Blossom Bandit or not!"
In Zhao Zhengyi's eyes, as he looked at Lin Xian'er, a flash of inexplicable anger appeared.
However, Lin Xian'er seemed startled and looked as if she were about to burst into tears.
"Master Zhao, last time I was coerced by you all to slander Li Tan Hua, I was already filled with shame. Today, I will absolutely not do it again."
Lin Xian'er's performance truly aroused the indignation of many netizens against the threats.
"I told you, my Xian'er has no problems at all!"
"As expected, it's all these dignified-looking old geezers who have problems!"
"This Long Xiaoyun guy, I really hate him now, even more than Zhao Zhengyi!"
"Me too, this guy always plays dirty at the critical moment!"
After this event, Lin Xian'er no longer had any issues in the hearts of the netizens. She was not only pure and beautiful but also stepped in at the crucial moment to help the Li Tan Hua whom everyone had previously misunderstood.
The number of people who liked her was growing by the day.
Clang!
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.
The dagger in Long Xiaoyun's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
Even he himself collapsed backward, powerless. Seeing this, Zhao Zhengyi's face changed drastically, but before he could move, he also felt his strength drain away and slumped down.
"Lin Xian'er... You're good..."
But before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Zhengyi also fell limp and powerless.
Everyone present, except for Li Xunhuan, A Fei, Lin Xian'er, and the Silly Kid who had come to watch the fun, had collapsed without strength.
"What's happening?"
Li Xunhuan and A Fei were both clearly stunned.
Lin Xian'er spoke with a timid expression: "I knew they wanted to frame Li Tan Hua tonight. To be safe, I secretly poisoned their wine earlier tonight."
She immediately added: "But it's only a drug that makes people lose their strength; it won't harm their lives!"
"A Fei, Li Tan Hua, you two won't think I'm a bad woman, will you?"
With such an adorable face, who could not feel for her? Besides, she was only dealing with bad people!
"Of course not. To deal with these despicable villains, this is exactly what must be done!"
As soon as the Silly Kid spoke, she realized it was quite inappropriate. These so-called great heroes had all fallen.
The Silly Kid's presence was, of course, very conspicuous. Her words immediately drew the gazes of A Fei, Lin Xian'er, and Li Xunhuan.
"I... I am Lady Shi Yin's maid. I have nothing to do with them!"
The Silly Kid directly raised both hands in a gesture of surrender. As long as I get scared fast enough, I won't get hacked!
Lin Xian'er smiled sweetly upon hearing this, seemingly very grateful for the Silly Kid's support. She intimately approached and pulled the Silly Kid's hand.
"So you're Sister Shi Yin's maid. Don't worry, little sister, there's no need to be afraid. A Fei only helps me kill bad people; he won't hurt you."
The Silly Kid could only nod dumbly.
A Fei had already carried Li Xunhuan over, but he returned somewhat helplessly.
"I don't know how to unseal acupoints."
It was hard to imagine that a youth with such incredible sword skills actually didn't know the most basic acupoint-unsealing skill. However, Lin Xian'er seemed to have been prepared for this.
"It's fine, someone knows how."
With that, she turned around, facing the dark northwest corner of Xingyun Villa, and loudly recited a passage.
"Heaven and Earth are heartless, Ghosts and Gods are sightless."
"All things are powerless, the common people are ignorant."
"Life and Death are fleeting, fortune and woe have no gate."
"Heaven and Earth are dark and obscure, Only I am Supreme."
