Free Web NovelXia Lianqing? Why did she appear in broad daylight?
Xia Lianqing's figure flashed before her eyes, and Lu Yibei froze for a moment, subconsciously chasing after Xia Lianqing for two steps, then the scene in her vision returned to normal.
It was as if what she had just seen was merely an illusion.
She stood still, turned her head to look at Shen Baiwei, who looked pitiful, then looked in the direction where Xia Lianqing had appeared, shook her head gently, pushed open the door and left the room. As soon as she stepped out, she met Lord Huaiyuan, who was waiting outside.
Lord Huaiyuan saw her face covered in blood and leaned forward with concern, asking, “What happened to you? It was a perfectly good pre-trial, why is there blood? Oh, I understand, you got into a fight with the suspect, didn’t you?”
She rubbed her hair and said with heartfelt grief, “You are still too young and inexperienced! How can you fight with a suspect just because of a few provocative words? The most important thing is, you fought and still lost. If this gets out... Uh, don’t worry, I’m tight-lipped.”
As she spoke, she craned her neck and peered into the room, seemingly wanting to confirm Shen Baiwei’s injuries.
Generally speaking, the favored disciple of the Da Chunyang Palace Master should have no problem overpowering a Miracle Order member in terms of combat strength.
But that’s just generally speaking...
It’s also reasonable for a miracle to happen to a Miracle Order member.
“You’re tight-lipped and you told me about Old man Zhang Huainan relieving himself wherever he wanted?” Lu Yibei muttered to herself, looking at Lord Huaiyuan expressionlessly and saying, “The pre-trial went very smoothly. The suspect confessed everything and is willing to join the Night Watch to turn over a new leaf.”
Lu Yibei spoke very quickly. Lord Huaiyuan initially thought she was hallucinating, but it wasn't until she heard Lu Yibei's subsequent words that she came to her senses as if waking from a dream, her eyes gradually widening.
“However, to be safe, after leaving Yumen Pass, it’s best to quickly find a moonlight project contract for her to sign. That way, even if she’s feigning surrender now, she won’t be able to go back on her word,” Lu Yibei said.
“Oh, oh...” Lord Huaiyuan nodded blankly.
She just directly turned the person? There’s no reason! How did she do it?
Lord Huaiyuan, who claimed to be the Night Watch's strongest interrogator, experienced a slight change in her mindset.
She had participated in many interrogations of high-level Psychic and urban legend, and she knew very well that even if high-level Psychic and urban legend were captured by the Night Watch, it was not that easy to make them confess and submit to the law.
To make a suspect confess their crimes and successfully turn them in just over ten minutes was simply a fantasy.
Even the Eclipse Society's brainwashing isn't that fast...
If this Miss wasn't tricked, then she must be a genius at interrogation!
As Lord Huaiyuan was still in a daze, Lu Yibei spoke again, “The suspect, Shen Baiwei, a core member of the Miracle Order, is inside. If Senior feels there’s anything else you want to know, you can ask her directly. If there’s nothing else, I’d like to rest for a bit. I’m a bit tired.”
Ever since she finished the pre-trial of Shen Baiwei, she had felt a strong sense of fatigue.
It was like having a severe cold: dizzy, heavy eyelids, weak limbs... she just wanted to find a place to lie down and rest for a while.
“Uh...” Lord Huaiyuan came back to her senses and nodded, saying, “Alright, you go rest first, you’ve worked hard.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yibei nodded to Lord Huaiyuan, then, with somewhat heavy steps, walked a few steps forward and pushed open the door.
Perhaps it was her poor physical condition that made her dizzy, for in a daze, she didn't notice that she had walked into Xia Lianqing's room and lay down on Xia Lianqing's bed.
Lord Huaiyuan watched the promising Agent Qingyi enter the room, walk directly to the bed, lie down, and shake her head.
“Tsk tsk, truly the younger generation excels over the older! It’s no wonder she’s tired after turning a core member of the Miracle Order in just over ten minutes! She really should get some good rest.”
As she spoke, Lord Huaiyuan thoughtfully closed the door for the exhausted Agent Qingyi.

Lying dizzily on the bed, Lu Yibei's mind once again replayed the scene: when she left the room where Shen Baiwei was being held, she suddenly felt unwell, inexplicably got a nosebleed, and even saw Xia Lianqing's figure flash before her eyes as if "seeing a ghost in broad daylight."
Something felt wrong, Lu Yibei thought. frёewebnoѵēl.com
She tried to establish some connection between these slightly abnormal occurrences but failed.
Under the dual assault of fatigue and dizziness, her spirit scattered like broken willow catkins blown by the wind, drifting here and there, unable to coalesce.
Perhaps it was just symptoms of gold poisoning? Lu Yibei made this guess with what little concentration she could muster.
To be fair, I was almost a little golden person before, and even if the Demoness Seed's core was continuously helping her detoxify, she shouldn't recover that quickly.
She hadn't felt uncomfortable before because after entering Yumen Pass, her experience, if not high-energy throughout, had almost no rest.
Now that she finally relaxed, the discomfort caused by the poisoning resurfaced, which also seemed explainable.
Besides that...
Could Shen Baiwei have done something to me?
Without my noticing... Lu Yibei thought.
In her opinion, Nanling Yaohua and Lord Huaiyuan would not do anything to harm her; the only person who could be secretly causing trouble was Shen Baiwei.
She tried hard to focus her mind to recall the details of her contact with Shen Baiwei, but her spirit became even more scattered.
Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
Finally, as if exhausted to the extreme, everything went black, and she lost consciousness.

“...That’s roughly how it happened. Apart from being ordered to go to Country F to hunt down those two rebellious elders, I don’t know the specific plans of Holy Child and Left Envoy Fang. I only know that when I was acting, other members were also carrying out similar missions.”
After Shen Baiwei finished speaking, she looked at Lord Huaiyuan, who was sitting opposite her, and quietly waited for Lord Huaiyuan to react. freёweɓnovel.com
It must be said that, from the perspective of pre-trial alone, Lord Huaiyuan was indeed much more professional and normal than Disaster.
At least she wouldn't ask any inexplicable garbage questions.
However, precisely because of this professionalism and normalcy, Lord Huaiyuan was also much easier to fool than Disaster.
After waiting for a moment, before Shen Baiwei could get a reaction from Lord Huaiyuan, she first felt someone touch the past, causing her harm.
Her body suddenly twitched, her face instantly turned pale, and accompanied by the violent churning of her internal organs, a trickle of black blood slowly seeped from the corner of her mouth.
She struggled to lift her head, as if to see through the wall between the two rooms, and suddenly looked in Lu Yibei's direction, her gaze uncertain.
Is it Disaster?
Why did she suddenly start acting?
Could it be because of earlier? Shen Baiwei thought uneasily.
A terrible conjecture suddenly arose in her mind: Disaster might have known what her ability was /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ all along and had been acting the entire time, which was why she kept asking her almost identical questions.
And now, after being affected by Disaster's ability and repeatedly returning to the "past," while still retaining the energy from the "past" which allowed her to touch the past more easily than before, she immediately took action to achieve her unspeakable, sordid goal!
As expected of you, Disaster!
So sinister, so despicable! Shen Baiwei thought fiercely, her fists gradually clenching.
And like Shen Baiwei, Lord Huaiyuan, who was questioning her, also had an uncertain gaze.
Lord Huaiyuan, “...”
What's wrong with her? Injured? Could it be that Qingyi hit her?
Her first reaction was that Shen Baiwei had made Qingyi's nose bleed, but Qingyi had given Shen Baiwei internal injuries.

“Quick, quick, quick! Everyone grab your things! The time agreed with the General is almost here, hurry and deliver them to them! The time agreed with the General is almost here, we must make sure they intercept the Shaman King's army outside the gate before then!”
After the woman's loud shouts, a jumbled sound entered her ears, and Lu Yibei suddenly awoke from her deep sleep.
Composing herself, she opened her eyes and saw a chaotic scene.
Sharp weapons, gleaming armor, crossbow bolts radiating Spiritual Energy fluctuations... all sorts of equipment filled Xia Lianqing's originally spacious room to the brim, even spilling out into the corridor outside the door.
Women dressed in a rather worldly fashion, with their seemingly slender and delicate hands, stuffed various equipment into pre-prepared wooden boxes, then picked them up and hurried out the door.
Chaotic footsteps echoed in the corridor, on the stairs, and in the hall, as if the entire Daimu Courtyard had transformed from a brothel into an armory.
Looking at the scene before her, Lu Yibei quickly came to her senses, realizing that she was seeing the influence of the past again.
But then, doubt surfaced in her mind.
What are they doing?
They're not doing their brothel business, they've switched to being blacksmiths?
That doesn't make sense! Could it be that equipment forged by pretty Misses grants critical hits? Lu Yibei thought.
As she was pondering, a figure suddenly approached and stood beside her, then reached out and slapped her head hard.
Immediately after, she heard a coquettish scolding.
“Whose Sister’s maid are you? At a time like this, why are you still loafing around here?!”
Lu Yibei's head hurt, and she snapped back to reality, looking up to see a young girl with her hands on her hips, glaring at her fiercely.
Upon closer inspection, who else could this girl be but Xia Lianqing's personal maid?
“You, you can see me?” Lu Yibei asked in surprise.
She suddenly felt the bewildered sensation of someone who thought they had mastered invisibility, confidently stripped naked, went for a stroll, and was then caught on the spot as a pervert.
The girl's delicate brows furrowed, and she raised her hand to give her another rap on the head.
“You’re not a ghost, of course I can see you! Do you think I can’t see you hiding back here? Hurry up and get moving, don’t be lazy!”
Lu Yibei, “...”
Although... if you want me to get moving, you at least have to tell me what I'm supposed to do!
