Chapter 85: Baby Ruo Xi Only Watches and Doesn't Act

All around, many bandits stood.

Including the Seventh, they all looked at Yuan Hui together.

"Fourth Brother, over these few years, the leader has been very good to us!" said the Seventh, despite almost being injured by Fourth Brother's chain earlier, he wasn’t too angry and still spoke cautiously in persuasion.

"Get lost, you coward!" Fourth Brother sneered, "This narrow pass was established by me and Second Brother. We built this stronghold and gathered our men. Ha, when Yuan Hui came along, Second Brother handed it over to him, making him the leader. Now, not only does he have so many rules, but he also wants to be pardoned by the government. Ha, this is leading everyone into a pit of fire!"

"Tsk, this guy has always been dissatisfied and wanted to be the boss. Even if pardoned, he will eventually cause trouble. Might as well kill him!" The Great Demon Lord yawned, considering whether she should take action.

Using her true energy from a distance to destroy his organs, Little Azure Dragon could probably finish him off with one slap.

"Xiao'er!" Ci Xin decided that from now on, she would teach this child properly. Girls shouldn't be so quick to kill and burn things!

"Fourth Brother!" The chubby Seventh stomped his foot in anger.

"Hmph, demon, die!" Bandit Fourth Brother raised his hand, and the chain flew out again. At the same time, he lifted his other hand, from which several feather needles shot out from his sleeve.

The feather needles were black, their tips shimmering with a cold blue light.

Sensing danger and smelling poison, Baby Ruo Xi couldn’t stand it anymore.

She furrowed her brow and clenched her small hand.

An invisible surge of true energy quietly emanated from the swaddling cloth.

The poisonous feather needles fell mid-air, landing on the ground. Even the nearby Seventh was surprised: "Fourth Brother, did you have diarrhea earlier? You seem to have no strength; even your poisoned needles didn’t fly!"

The chain was deflected, and the needles fell to the ground. Bandit Fourth Brother roared angrily: "Die!"

In the next moment, he flipped his wrist and charged desperately towards Ci Xin.

"Hold Xiao'er!" Ci Xin turned and handed the swaddling cloth to Xiao Yin. Then, he flashed forward, dragging Bandit Fourth Brother to the cliff edge: "Originally, I didn’t want you to die, but you keep provoking me, Imperial Tutor. Go die then!"

"You, let me go, you demon!" Bandit Fourth Brother’s face turned pale with fear. He looked to the side and shouted, "What are you all waiting for? I brought you up here and led you until now. Are you all going to betray me? Are you all going to become the government’s lackeys and serve those dogs?"

"Hmph!" Xiao Yin gently patted the little girl in his arms, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Imperial Tutor, please spare my brothers!" Yuan Hui stepped forward and said.

"Don’t pretend, humph, Yuan Hui, you can be a lackey, it’s none of our business. But think about whether you deserve those dead brothers!" Bandit Fourth Brother roared.

"I, Yuan Hui, have a clear conscience!" Yuan Hui walked to the emperor’s side, looking at the bandit whose collar he held, ready to drop him off the cliff. He said coldly, "Fourth Brother, do you know why I escaped from the border of the Western Regions and didn’t return to the Imperial City but came here instead?"

"Hmph, you probably had nowhere else to go, like a stray dog!" Bandit Fourth Brother sneered.

"It’s because the three teams I sent from the Western Regions were all intercepted halfway. I heard that there were collusions between the government and bandits, who specifically sent bandits to intercept my men. They were all killed by having their hearts torn out!" Yuan Hui said.

"Hmm? I knew it, Yuan Hui must have been looking for evidence all along. Good, hiding his true nature for five years just to find the truth!"

Perhaps because of the foreknowledge of historical records, Baby Ruo Xi genuinely approved of Yuan Hui.

"Is it because of the appearance of the feather needles that Yuan Hui confirmed it?"

Xiao Yin listened to his niece’s thoughts and raised an eyebrow, looking at the fallen needles.

"The people I sent out all had these feather needles!" Yuan Hui picked up the feather needle and said, "They were first paralyzed by the feather needles before their hearts were torn out!"

"Feather needles aren’t exclusive to me, and flying claws aren’t unique either!" Bandit Fourth Brother said.

"The poison of the feather needles comes from the Western Regions, and the technique of tearing out hearts can only be combined by you!" Yuan Hui said.

"Nonsense, in this vast world, anything is possible. How can it be only me!" Fourth Brother continued to argue, staring at Yuan Hui and roaring, "Yuan Hui, if you want to be pardoned by the government, just say it. What use is slandering me?"

"Slandering, this isn’t slandering!" On the side, the Seventh stepped forward, taking the feather needle from Yuan Hui and said, "Your feather needles are tied with red, blue, and purple threads. You are a member of the Seven Colors Palace, the master of the Three Palaces!"

"The Seven Colors Palace in the Western Regions that committed countless atrocities?"

"Fourth Brother is a member of the Seven Colors Palace? How can that be? We are sworn enemies with the Seven Colors Palace!"

"Yes, many of our brothers died unjustly, and many more we rescued from the Western Region borders were victims of the Seven Colors Palace!"

"In the Seven Colors Palace, they are all monstrous figures who specialize in tearing out hearts and lungs to refine some elixir of immortality. They are despicable!"

All around, the bandits began discussing, none believing that their Fourth Brother was a member of the Seven Colors Palace.

"Hmph, tearing out hearts, back then, dozens of my subordinates were killed in the same way, leaving only empty skeletons. No hearts or lungs were found near the bodies!" Yuan Hui held up the feather needle with the three-colored thread and said, "But this thing was left behind on the bodies!"

"Yes, the three-colored thread, Fourth Brother... spit, Zhang Ergou, you finally revealed yourself!" The Seventh took out a feather needle from his sleeve and said, "In the last group, it was my brother who led them to break through the encirclement to seek help. Actually, the leader intentionally let my brother escape. But they also died on the road. When I found my brother, he had this feather needle on him!"

"For five years, knowing we were searching for the feather needles, you kept hiding. Hmph!" Yuan Hui looked at the Fourth Brother and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"What are you all waiting for? Kill them, kill them all!" Seeing his plan exposed, Zhang Ergou roared and raised his hand, using the flying claw to grab onto the rocks. He twisted his body, breaking free from Ci Xin’s control, and landed beside the cliff.

Several dozen bandits rushed out from the crowd, wielding poisoned weapons, mercilessly attacking others.

"Hmph!" Yuan Hui snorted, flashing forward to join the fight.

"Well, none of them are a match for Uncle and Little Azure Dragon. This baby will just watch!" Baby Ruo Xi decided to only watch and not act!

After all, she was still a baby!
