Chapter 1088: Chapter 1088: Fell Into a Trap

She first came to Su Xingqiao’s room, initially planning to see how he was doing. Seeing him sitting at the table with messy papers spread out, she was a bit surprised: "Did you not sleep all night?"

Su Xingqiao saw it was Xiaoqi, and for some reason, he felt relieved, quickly asking, "Did you find any clues?"

Xiaoqi waved her hand in frustration: "Things are much harder than I imagined, even I... even the Island Master of Shuiqi Island, Shui Jingmo, has been poisoned. This is too bizarre. I thought he couldn’t be unrelated..."

As soon as Xiaoqi finished speaking, Han Jing’s voice sounded behind her: "You said Shui Jingmo has been poisoned too?"

Xiaoqi turned around quickly and saw Han Jing with Su Yu, startled: "You know Shui Jingmo?"

Han Jing shook her head: "I don’t know him, just know he’s the Island Master of Shuiqi Island."

Han Jing walked in, looked at Xiaoqi and said: "Let’s stop beating around the bush, since you feel guilty and want to help us, let’s be honest with each other, a serious collaboration would increase the chances of solving the problem a bit."

Xiaoqi looked into Han Jing’s eyes, after a moment, nodded.

And gave her a thumbs up, muttering softly: "You’re impressive."

Han Jing looked at her with interest, but Xiaoqi hurriedly turned her face away and stopped looking into her eyes.

"Last night, did you go to the Island Master? Did you gain anything? How do you know Shui Jingmo has been poisoned too? Besides Shui Jingmo, who else in the Island Master Mansion has been poisoned? Or rather, who hasn’t been poisoned in the entire mansion?" Han Jing fired a series of questions, truly curious. Shi Qi mentioned that just by appearances, you definitely couldn’t see they’ve been poisoned, meaning unless someone who has been poisoned by Puppet Grass is not controlled, they won’t be recognized.

Since the poisoner could’ve placed the poison in the water source, it proves he wanted the entire city to be poisoned, so the time he controls these people should be the same. If Su Xingqiao, who has been poisoned, hasn’t gone into a toxic state, then others shouldn’t be at that point either.

To see if someone is poisoned under these circumstances shows how truly remarkable Xiaoqi is.

Xiaoqi seemed to answer without thinking at all: "It’s precisely because everyone is poisoned that it’s hard to find the unpoisoned one..."

After speaking, she blinked, wondering if she spoke too fast.

She turned her head to look at Han Jing, quietly biting her lip.

"I heard that the Island Master’s Wife Feng Peining of Shuiqi Island is the sister of the Island Master of Phoenix Island and a Divine level Expert, how about her? Was she poisoned too?" Han Jing continued asking.

Xiaoqi nodded her head: "Yeah, I came this time specifically to..." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

To... bring her back.

...But why did she say it without realizing?

She turned her head again to glance at Han Jing...

Han Jing smiled at her: "Little sister, shall we chat?"

Xiaoqi...

Is this woman a fox, or does she have piercing eyes? How can her mind be meticulous to this extent, every word is a trap, yet... yet somehow she still got caught by her despite knowing everything.

A master indeed!

Xiaoqi felt a bit dejected, thinking she was the smartest in the world, but it turns out there are always greater minds!
