Chapter 207: Hawk Rider
“Her swordsmanship was too impressive. Although her cultivation had been abolished, she was still unusually strong. We didn’t get the slightest benefit from her. Instead, many of our people died... I clearly remember that although she was injured back then, her life was not in danger...” As Xia Dehe recalled the past, a bit of panic appeared in his eyes.
The girl in front of him was almost the same as Lou Xuanji back then—a nightmare!
“Where did she go after that?” Lou Qianxue was a little anxious, and she pressed on.
Her mother was so impressive even with her cultivation abolished. She had the mannerisms and pride that ordinary people would find hard to achieve. Perhaps, she might just be the only person who could shine so brightly no matter what happened.
“We don’t know... At first, we were frightened by her. The Xia family had lost so much because of her alone. She was like the Evil star who had come out of hell. We regretted provoking her a long time ago. Why would we dare to stop her?”
Lou Qianxue frowned. “If my mother had taken action back then, why didn’t she kill all of you before leaving?”
The Xia Family had schemed against her mother, and they also involved others in the plot. Given the personality of her mother, she would have gotten rid of all of them. Why would she let the Xia Family off?
“Uh...” Xia Dehe and Xia Delei awkwardly looked around, but they did not dare to express their dissatisfaction. They honestly answered, “We aren’t sure about the details, but we suppose it could have something to do with the Hawk Rider, which appeared at the end!”
“Hawk Rider?” Lou Qianxue asked in confusion.
“Back when Lou Xuanji crazily killed our family members, a series of hawk screeches went across the sky. She left shortly afterward, and after she left, a giant hawk passed over the Xia family’s House. An unfathomable woman stood on the back of the hawk, so we named her the Hawk Rider. At that time, the eagle rider showed us a portrait of Lou Xuanji and asked if we had seen her.”
“Did you tell her?” Lou Qianxue asked.
If her mother had really left because of the Hawk Rider, then she must be very afraid of the Hawk Rider. There was a greater possibility that the Hawk Rider was an enemy, instead of a friend. Lou Qianxue felt a little worried.
“Uhh... Given our relationship with Lou Xuanji, we obviously wouldn’t help her hide...”
“You deserve to die!” Lou Qianxue wished to kill them right away, but her rationality forced her to recede her murderous intent. “How does the Hawk Rider that you mentioned look like?”
Xia Dehe and Xia Delei were scared stiff by Lou Qianxue’s murderous intent, but their patriarch had told them to give honest accounts. They did not dare to hide the facts. “She’s a very beautiful lady... Also, when she showed me the portrait of Lou Xuanji, I could see that she had six fingers on her right arm!”
“Six fingers!” Lou Qianxue took note of this special feature.
After regaining her senses, she looked at Xia Dehe, Xia Delei, and the patriarch of the Xia family. “Is there anything else that you wish to say? If not, I will give you all an easy death in consideration of how cooperative you were!”
“W-we have already told you everything that you want to know. Why would you still kill us?” Xia Dehe felt indignant, and he couldn’t help but ask.
Lou Qianxue scoffed. “I never thought that you would ask such a silly question. Excuse me, did your Third Elder bring people to the hotel in an attempt to murder me? Last night, you guys sent people to break into the hotel at night. Was the intention to kill me? Today, you put poison on the sharp arrow and used my mother’s information to lead me here. The purpose of this is to kill me as well, right?”
“...”
Hearing Lou Qianxue’s words, awkward expressions appeared on the faces of all three. They were now regretful.
Xia Dehe immediately repented and admitted to his mistakes. “Miss Lou, we were wrong. All around the world, strength is respected. Our Xia Family died in your hands because they were not skillful enough. We shouldn’t have schemed against you... Now, I swear, our Xia family and I will never do anything to you again. Please have some mercy on us and spare our lives!”
