Chapter 9 The Witch

Qin Yuetian had a moment of shock and quickly regained his composure.

Like the other members of the Qin family, he had never treated Qin Yiyuan sincerely. It was also their family's tacit understanding to make her disappear one day after the Empress Dowager passed away.

But he was there when Qin Yiyuan fell into the lake that day. At that time, he used spells to secretly attract her soul.

Although he failed, he didn't care. After all, a good-for-nothing without any soul root like her was useless even if she died. It was not worth mentioning at all.

But it was surprising that she could come back to life.

Seeing his expression, Qin Sitong immediately knew what he was thinking. Thus, she added fuel to the fire, "But she has changed. She has even written a divorce letter to divorce King Rong. After all, she used to love King Rong the most."

Qin Yuetian nodded. With his hands clasped behind his back, he muttered, "I understand. Leave this matter to the Yinyang Sect."

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Qin Sitong sneered and respectfully said, "You have worked hard, dad."

On the way back, she had been thinking about how to get the amulet back from Qin Yiyuan.

Why should all her belongings be taken away by that woman?

The position of the daughter of Qin family, the position of Princess Rong, and even a piece of amulet had been robbed!

There was another thing that worried her. She couldn't let her father know that she had asked someone to buy the amulet from the black market. Otherwise, he would definitely use domestic discipline on her.

Since she couldn't grab it back openly, she could only let Qin Yiyuan take the blame for her, which would make her father hate Qin Yiyuan even more.

The more Qin Sitong thought about it, the more she felt that this was a wonderful plan. She couldn't help but smile proudly.

On the other side, Qin Yiyuan didn't know that she had picked up a hot potato. When she returned to her residence, she took out the black jade and studied it carefully.

That jade was extremely strange. It emitted a strange energy that made people feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, she was even more certain that the jade was left by the person who took the child away that day.

Who said that people who looked like immortals were good people?! If they were really good people, they wouldn't wear this kind of evil thing.

While she was thinking, a patter of light footsteps suddenly came from outside, and then she heard Xiaocha say, "My lady, are you in the room?"

Qin Yiyuan turned her head and saw Xiaocha walking in with a smile on her face. She couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Why are you so happy?"

Xiaocha smiled sweetly and said, "You're right. I went to the market today to ask around and finally found the residence of my uncle and aunt. They took care of me when I was a child. Now that I'm back, I should take care of them."

Qin Yiyuan didn't expect this girl to be so honest. She was sincerely happy for Xiaocha. After thinking a moment, she said, "It's good that you've found your family. I'm leaving in a few days, so you don't have to follow me anymore."

Xiaocha was stunned. "My lady, where are you going? Why can't you take me with you?"

Qin Yiyuan smiled and said, "I still have my own things to do. Since you have a home to go back to, why do you have to follow me and suffer outside?"

Xiaocha's eyes immediately turned red. Just as she was about to say something, Qin Yiyuan took out something from her sleeves and handed it to Xiaocha.

"By the way, I have something here. Have you seen it before?"

From the memory of the original owner, she could tell that Xiaocha had not followed her from the beginning. Instead but had come to the Qin family three years ago.

If she had the experience of living outside, she might know more than the original owner.

Xiaocha immediately stopped and looked at the black jade in Qin Yiyuan's hand. She shook her head and said, "I haven't seen this jade before, but my uncle might be able to help. He's a worker at a jade shop in the city."

Qin Yiyuan was surprised. "Really? Can you take me to him?"

Xiaocha naturally agreed. The master and the servant left the house and rushed towards the jade shop in the city.

After hearing Xiaocha's words, her uncle immediately thanked Qin Yiyuan profusely.

Qin Yiyuan did not stand on ceremony with him. After exchanging a few words of greetings, she took out the jade pendant from her sleeves and asked, "Uncle, do you know the origin of this jade pendant?"

Xiaocha's uncle took the jade pendant and tidied it up carefully. The doubts in his eyes gradually rose.

"My lady, to tell you the truth, I've worked in the jade industry for decades and have touched at least hundreds of pieces of jade, but I've never seen jade of this quality."

Qin Yiyuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But she did not give up. She only said, "It doesn't matter. Black jade is rare. I'll go somewhere else to inquire about it."

While they were talking, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from outside. A group of people in black official uniforms broke in from the door, glanced around the store, and walked toward Qin Yiyuan.

The customers in the jade shop retreated one after another and stood in the distance to watch.

"You're Qin Yiyuan, right?"

Qin Yiyuan didn't expect that trouble would come to her so soon. She calmly glanced at the person who asked the question and said, "I'm Qin Yiyuan. What can I do for you?"

The official in black took out an object from his waist, which was painted with some runes. He said in a businesslike tone, "We are official under the command of Yinyang Sect. We are ordered to take you back for questioning."

Qin Yiyuan frowned and asked, "May I ask what crime I committed? Why should I go back with you?"

The face of the official darkened. Regardless of whether Qin Yiyuan was willing or not, he waved his hand and said, "Since we are here to find you, we naturally have our own reasons. If you don't appreciate our kindness, we will be rude."

Qin Yiyuan didn't expect them to be so tough. She said coldly, "That depends on whether you have the ability or not!"

Seeing that they were about to fight, Xiaocha was anxious and scared. She quickly rushed forward in order to protect Qin Yiyuan behind.

"Distinguished officials, my lady is the daughter of Lord Qin of Yinyang Sect. Are you mistaken?"

"She's the one we're looking for."

Qin Yiyuan sneered.

Qin Yuetian was the Vice Chairman of the Yinyang Sect. She had just fallen out with Qin Sitong yesterday, and today, someone from the Yinyang Sect came to take her away. It was self-evident who was behind this.

Since the Qin family had decided to tear off their hypocritical masks and kill her, she would only be looked down upon if she gave in again.

It was better to confront them head-on. As long as the bracelet on her wrist was still useful, it was hard to say who would win!

She walked out from behind Xiaocha with a swagger and looked at the official and said, "In that case, what are you waiting for?"

As she spoke, she secretly made a hand gesture and activated her spiritual energy to clench her fist.

An energy that ordinary people couldn't feel suddenly spread out from her body like ripples. When she lowered her head again, there was a long sword in her hand.

That sword was pitch-black, and there was only a single thread of snow-white light on its blade. The dark golden runes on the blade were faintly discernible. It was solemn and dazzling, giving off a desolate feeling.

Although they didn't recognize the origin of the sword, the officials of Yinyang Sect were still shocked by its momentum and looked at it in surprise.

Qin Yiyuan stood in front of Xiaocha and her uncle and said in a deep voice, "Come on, didn't you say that you were going to arrest me?"
