illicit relationship

Chapter 1709 Suspecting Lan Ruoxi

“Jingjing, can you tell me who hurt my family and women?” Xiao Tian wanted to know the ones who attacked his family and women.

“I don’t know who they are because they wore veils when they attacked us.” Jingjing responded, “But their leader is like you, leader.”

“Like me? What do you mean by that?” Xiao Tian did not understand her words.

“She is a candidate to be the Ruler.” Jingjing responded.

“A candidate to be the Ruler?” Even though Xiao Tian looked calm, the flames of anger were burning inside him.

“Yes. She is als-” Jingjing stopped her words halfway when she remembered something important. “Ah, she used a beautiful sword.”

“Can you describe the sword in detail?” Xiao Tian threw another question at her.

“The sword is…” Jingjing said the sheath of the sword was green in color, and the quillon was designed in the shape of a Phoenix wing.

That sword was very sharp.

That sword could even cut their weapons easily as if their weapons were tofu.

This was one of the reasons why they lost against their enemies because their leader was strong and had a good sword.

“Phoenix Sword?” from her description, Xiao Tian believed it was the Phoenix Sword.

“Ah, that’s right. It’s the Phoenix sword.” Jingjing finally remembered the name of the sword.

“Are you sure it’s the Phoenix sword?” Xiao Tian did not want to admit the reality, so he asked this question.

“One hundred percent sure.” Jingjing responded.

Xiao Tian slowly clenched his right fist.

At that moment, one person came to his mind.

Lan Ruoxi!

Yes, he suddenly suspected that she was the one who attacked his family and women.

There were two reasons why he suspected her of being one of the attackers.

First, she was the owner of the Phoenix sword, and last, Jingjing said she was a candidate to be the Ruler like him.

He gave her the Phoenix sword after winning the auction house bid. And she was also a candidate to be the Ruler like him.

These two things could not be imitated, especially the Phoenix sword because there was only one Phoenix sword in this world.

Of course, there was still a possibility that she might not have been the assailant, but all the evidence they had now pointed to her.

‘Are you really the one who attacked my women?’

This was the question that suddenly appeared in his mind.

Like Xiao Tian, Crystal also suspected Lan Ruoxi of being one of the attackers.

She was with him when he bought the Phoenix sword and gave it to Lan Ruoxi, so she knew the owner of the Phoenix sword.

‘Did you really betray him? And is this the reason you suddenly disappeared?’

She also could not accept reality completely because Lan Ruoxi was a good person in her eyes.

She also knew that Lan Ruoxi and Xiao Tian had a special relationship, so she kept refusing the truth.

When Xiao Zhan saw his son’s expression, he inquired, “Son, do you know who their leader is?”

Jingjing was startled.

‘Son? Is he really leader’s father?’

Previously, she thought Xiao Zhan was just someone Xiao Tian knew or something along these lines, but she finally knew she was wrong.

“There is one person I suspect. And that per-” before Xiao Tian had finished his words, one of his underlings stepped into the patient room.

“Leader, Lina has regained consciousness.” The blue-haired woman uttered.

Xiao Tian looked at his underling and uttered, “Go back and wait for me. I will be there soon.”

“Understood.” The blue-haired woman returned to Lina’s patient room.

Xiao Tian returned his attention to Jingjing before finally speaking, “You rest first. I want to see Lina now.”

“Alright.” Jingjing nodded her head.

Then Xiao Tian and the others headed to Lina’s patient room.

“Mmm…” Lina sat up after regaining consciousness.

‘Hospital?’

Her face instantly turned panicked.

“Jiao, what happened to our leader’s family and women?” Lina asked worriedly.

Jiao, who was standing on her right side, put on a sad face. “They are coma.”

Lina gritted her teeth. “Damn it!” 𝒃𝙚𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍．𝙘𝒐𝙢

‘Ah, right. That bitch betrayed us! I have to tell leader about this.’

When she was about to ask Jiao to call their leader, Xiao Tian and the others entered her patient room.

“Leader…” Jiao greeted Xiao Tian when she caught sight of him.

“Leader, that bitch Lan Ruoxi betrayed us!” Lina retorted.

Xiao Tian instantly stopped his footsteps. “Are you sure it’s her?”

“Even though she wore a veil, I could still tell it.” Lina uttered, “Her movements, eyes, body and voices are exactly like her. She also said she did not kill us because we knew each other.”

“Alright. Calm down first.” Even though Xiao Tian was furious, but he still looked calm. “Doctor, please check her condition now.”

“Alright.” The old doctor immediately checked Lina’s condition.

“Leader, we must take revenge! We must kill that bitch because she dares to hurt your family.” Lina could not suppress her anger because she felt betrayed.

Not long after that, his other underlings also regained consciousness. Like Lina, they said Lan Ruoxi was one of the attackers.

Even though Xiao Tian felt like he was going crazy, he still told them to calm down and rest because they needed to recover first.

After talking with his father for several minutes, Xiao Tian and the others went home.

Xiao Tian’s Mansion, Backyard.

Xiao Tian was currently practicing martial arts.

Unlike usual, he tried to master his secret technique this time. He had not mastered the seventh form of the Moon Sword Martial Arts, so he decided to practice it.

However, he could not focus on his training because his mind was disturbed by the words of his underlings.

‘Ruoxi, are you really one of the attackers?’

He subconsciously held his wooden sword firmer.

As he was thinking about her, Lan Ruoxi suddenly appeared before him, floating in mid-air.

Of course, he knew she was not the real Lan Ruoxi because she had disappeared, and this was the second time something like this had happened to him.

“Haha.” Lan Ruoxi laughed before finally flying closer to him. “It’s indeed me. I was the one who attacked them. Hahaha.”

At that moment, her face looked so terrifying, as if she was a demon.

“How do you feel, my love? Are you sad? Are you disappointed? Are you feeling betrayed? Or do you feel like someone is slashing your heart? Hahaha.” she kept flying around him.

Xiao Tian did not say anything and kept looking at her.

“But you won’t kill me, right? After all, you love me and I have given my body to you. You will forgive me, right?” Lan Ruoxi touched his chin with her right index finger before finally flying and laughing loudly.

Xiao Tian sighed before finally speaking, “I will really go crazy if this continues.”

At that moment, Crystal’s voice suddenly rang out. “What’s wrong, Xiao Tian?”

Lan Ruoxi instantly disappeared when Crystal walked closer to him.

“Nothing.” He responded as he shook his head.

Crystal stood before him and stared at him intently, trying to read his mind.

“What are you doing?” Xiao Tian asked curiously.

Crystal suddenly did something shocking to him.
