Shocked! The villain's younger sister is the strongest hacker after being washed

Chapter 174 The first clues emerge

Author: A forget-me-not grass

Sure enough, after saying goodbye to Xie Siling, Lingyu took her to another nearby mansion. The overall courtyard didn't look very big.

But as soon as she entered the door, without any warning, she kicked Bai Zhiqian in the calf.

Bai Zhiqian could actually resist, but she didn't. Instead, she knelt down. She knew that this was Lingyu's threat to her.

"Why are you still beating people? I belong to the eldest lady. I must file a complaint with the eldest lady!"

Before she finished speaking, a sharp sword was already placed on her neck.

"You also know that you disobeyed the eldest lady several times just now, so you should learn the rules."

Lingyu sneered a few times and continued, "But since she handed you over to me, it means that I can do anything to you, even kill you."

"You'd better be obedient and recognize your current identity. You are just the lowest maid in the city lord's palace. The eldest lady will not be your talisman."

Although Bai Zhiqian found this Lingyu to be aggressive and annoying, she must not conflict with him at this time.

Lingyu's status is not low, and she must know many things. This is a breakthrough that she must open.

She gave up and said, "Yes, I understand."

"It's good to know." Lingyu's expression was a little relaxed. She came to Bai Zhiqian, stared at her and said, "I heard that you dared to cheat the eldest lady's spirit stone before, so you don't want to live?"

"

"No." Bai Zhiqian quickly explained, "I really have no choice. I need spiritual stones to save my sister, and my eldest lady is generous, so I have bad intentions."

"Sister..." Lingyu was stunned.

She quickly continued, "Since the eldest lady has brought you back, it means that you have passed this chapter, but you must not let down the eldest lady's kindness. I will ask someone to help keep an eye on your sister."

"If you dare to do anything to deceive the eldest lady again, you will be like this stone."

As soon as she finished speaking, she drew her sword instantly, and a mountain guarding stone next to her broke into two halves.

"What a fast sword." Bai Zhiqian exclaimed slightly. The strength of this spirit jade is not simple. I am afraid that even she will not be able to easily defeat the opponent.

She hurriedly said, "I remember, I will never let down the kindness of the eldest lady."

Lingshi said nothing more, just pointed to the side and said, "This courtyard belongs to me. You will live here first. Those rooms are all empty. You can choose one at will."

"I still have some things to do, and I will formally teach you tomorrow." Immediately, she left without looking back, cleanly and neatly.

Seeing this, Yi Yao stood on Bai Zhiqian's shoulder and couldn't help but said, "Girl, do you want me to follow her and have a look? This person should know a lot of things."

"No, don't alert others first." Bai Zhiqian refused.

Yi Yao stopped making a sound, and because there were many formations in the City Lord's Mansion, many of which were aimed at the demon clan, it was inconvenient for him to act alone, so he could only hide beside Bai Zhiqian for the time being.

Seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, Bai Zhiqian luckily wandered around the entire courtyard to see if she could find anything valuable.

The entire courtyard is not big, and the layout is clearly visible. Apart from a few rooms, there is only an empty courtyard with only some large stones and very few decorative flowers and plants.

There are many dense sword marks on the stones, which were obviously left by the owner of the yard.

While Bai Zhiqian was looking around, she noticed several maids walking out of a room. After they exchanged greetings, one of them came towards her direction.

"Hey, are you new here?"

Bai Zhiqian looked back and saw that she was a pretty little girl wearing a simple plain gown.

"Yes." She nodded slightly and said no more.

"Okay." Xiao Zi frowned, seeming a little unhappy, but still said, "My name is Xiao Zi, you can call me if you need anything. Since you are with Lord Lingyu, it is your honor.

"

"Although she seems to have a bad temper, she is a very good person and treats us very well. Don't be unhappy just because she said a few words to you."

"I didn't." Bai Zhiqian said quickly, "It's just that I'm not used to it when I'm new here."

Xiao Zi sighed softly, "Well, I was just like you before, but if I couldn't survive, who would be willing to serve others? Now that I'm here, let go of the past and accept the reality."

"As long as I can survive, that's better than anything else."

Bai Zhiqian could not speak, and she could only have a small wish to survive, but for countless people, it was extremely difficult to realize it.

Freedom must even be exchanged.

"Fortunately, I followed Master Lingyu." Xiao Zi suddenly showed a smile, "Compared with other maids, I am very lucky. At least those outside do not dare to bully me casually."

"After all, Lord Lingyu has grown up with the eldest lady since she was a child. She can be called your right-hand man. Moreover, she is very powerful. There are few in the City Lord's Mansion who are more powerful than her."

"That's right." Bai Zhiqian nodded slightly.

"So, you can stay here with peace of mind. At least you can ensure that you have enough food and clothing. Besides, you are already very lucky. If the former City Lord's Mansion..."

At this point, Xiao Zi suddenly showed a look of panic. Although she quickly returned to normal, she still felt a little frightened.

Bai Zhiqian felt something was wrong and quickly asked, "How was the former City Lord's Mansion?"

"This is not something you should know. The matter has passed. It's enough that you can stay in peace now." Xiao Zi didn't want to say more.

After finally getting some unusual clues, Bai Zhiqian certainly didn't want to let it go. She quickly said, "Wait a minute, Xiao Zi, just tell me. I'm afraid of violating a taboo when I'm new here."

"Actually, it's nothing. Most people know that the former City Lord's Mansion didn't have that much freedom. We were forced to practice special exercises every day. We were even compared every month, and the worst batch would be eliminated."

"Although the eliminated people have all left the City Lord's Mansion, there are also rumors that those people have mysteriously disappeared. But it is not without benefits. If you practice well, you will not only get many rewards, but also better techniques.

.”

Bai Zhiqian became interested in this inexplicable technique, and she couldn't help but ask, "What about now, are you no longer like this?"

Xiao Zi was silent for a long time, then replied, "This system has been abolished since the city lord began to retreat and the eldest lady accepted government affairs."

"But there are still many people who are looking forward to recovery, because according to the past system, as long as they practice well enough, they can get greater benefits."

"Do you know why the eldest lady abolished it?" Bai Zhiqian couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, maybe it's because she is kind-hearted." Xiao Zi sighed, "But because of this, quite a few people are secretly dissatisfied with the eldest lady and have been looking forward to the city lord's release."

"Has the city lord been in seclusion for a long time?"

"It's been a long time, almost half a year." Xiao Zi replied.

"Most of the year..."

Bai Zhiqian estimated the time, and it seemed that when she left the spirit boat, this weird city lord started to retreat.

She might be able to guess that the other party got what he wanted from the spirit boat, but what exactly it would be, she couldn't think of at the moment.

But at least she got some clues. She did nothing wrong by venturing into the city lord's mansion this time. If she continues to pursue it, she will definitely find the shadow.

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue..."

Xiao Zi's words interrupted her thoughts, "Okay, you don't have to think about it anymore, that's all in the past. I'm afraid the city lord won't leave seclusion so soon. Before he comes out, the eldest lady will be in charge."

"For us, this is a good thing. The eldest lady is kind-hearted, treats everyone well, and will not punish us casually."
