Chapter 2787: Justice of the Heroine
Shi Li had some ideas in mind, but when she saw Hong Quan still firmly protecting Qiu Lian, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Regardless of whether Xu Xian was cunning and spoiled, if she had not treated Hong Quan sincerely, Hong Quan would have been cheated and lost everything.
"In that case, since I am also a woman, why don't I go and look at the bundle with Miss Qiu Lian to see if there is any sword manual of Xuanshan Sect. What do you think?"
Shi Li was too lazy to say more, he just stared at Qiu Lian and directly cut off the source of the problem.
Originally Qiu Lian wanted to continue pretending to be pitiful and innocent, but she didn't expect Shi Li to not give her the chance to refute at all. She opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Shi Li again.
"The innocent are innocent. I'm sure Miss Qiu Lian doesn't want to be slandered as a thief. If we can't find the sword manual this time, Xuanshan Sect will apologize to you and clear the matter for you. This way, it won't be considered an insult to you."
Shi Li said, looking at Qiu Lian steadily. She had already blocked all the excuses. If she still didn't agree, then even the dumbest person should be able to see that Qiu Lian had a problem, right?
Thinking of this, Shi Li glanced at Hong Quan, hoping that he was not that stupid.
Qiu Lian gritted her teeth, knowing that she had no choice but to nod helplessly, "Okay... I do!"
As she said this, she looked at Hong Quan with tears in her eyes, "Brother Hong, thank you for protecting me and thank you for believing in me."
"Don't be afraid. As long as you prove your innocence with Miss Shi, the matter will be over and no one will dare to bother you anymore!" Hong Quan also glanced at Jiang Qingshuang on purpose.
Jiang Qingshuang was speechless for a while, but still nodded while pinching his nose.
In front of everyone, Shi Li followed Qiu Lian into the house one after another.
She only had a small bag under the bed, and now she took it out and handed it to Shi Li with both hands, saying aggrievedly: "Miss Shi, please."
Shi Li curled the corner of his mouth and said nothing more. He just turned around, put the bundle on the wooden table and opened it.
Just as I saw a few clothes inside and before I had time to start rummaging through them, I felt a strong wind blowing from behind.
Qiu Lian actually launched a sneak attack.
However, Shi Li was always on guard and was not attacked by surprise. He simply dodged sideways and drew his sword to stab back.
It turns out that Qiu Lian is good at martial arts, but in order to deceive Hong Quan, she pretends to be weak.
Now that he had exposed himself and hadn't hurt Shi Li, he knew that staying any longer would do him no good, so he kicked open the backyard window and escaped.
Shi Li had just seen a corner of a page of a book in the bundle, so he did not chase the person. Instead, he turned around and opened the bundle. Sure enough, he saw the sword manual of Xuanshan Sect at the bottom.
She looked at the window with a big hole in it again, then walked out with the sword manual.
The people outside had heard the noise, but because there were two girls in the room, they did not dare to rush in.
When they saw Shi Li walking out with the sword manual, both sides showed different expressions.
Hong Quan widened his eyes, seemingly unable to believe it.
The disciples of Xuanshan Sect breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiang Qingshuang was the most special, as his eyes remained on Shi Li's face.
"Return the jade intact to Zhao." Shi Li was too lazy to look at him and threw the sword manual over to him. Jiang Qingshuang caught it with one hand, flipped it open and glanced at it quickly, then showed a relieved expression.
As for Hong Quan, Shi Li looked at him speechlessly.
"Qiu Lian tried to sneak attack me in the house just now, but failed. She kicked open the window and ran away. If you chase her now, you might be able to catch up with her."
Hong Quan was ashamed and clasped his hands together, "I am really sorry, Miss Shi, I didn't know people well enough."
"This is the second time I meet you. It's definitely not a good thing." Shi Li didn't bother to be polite with him and even glared at him.
After solving this matter, she looked at the yard, and for the sake of her own peaceful life, she couldn't help but say: "If you are okay, go back to Wangyou Mountain as soon as possible. Your wife is still pregnant."
Having said that, Hong Quan could only nod.
Shi Li said nothing more and walked out the door. Just as she reached the door, she heard Jiang Qingshuang calling her from behind, "Miss Shi."
This person is more annoying.
Shi Li stopped and looked back at him, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Qingshuang had a complicated expression. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by a loud voice that suddenly appeared in the air.
"Hong Quan, you are hiding here!"
OK, OK, Xu Ling finally found me!
