"Why not just..."
But Xiao Ya didn't finish her sentence.
However, both Ye Xiaofei and Xu Hu understood the implication of Xiao Ya's words; she was clearly contemplating killing Qin Shousheng, this human scum, and then destroying the body to eliminate all evidence.
"Hehe—"
Ye Xiaofei suddenly burst into laughter, shook his head, and said to Xiao Ya, "Elder Sister Xiao Ya, it isn't as terrible as it seems, and you don't need to worry!"
"Huh? Don't need to worry?"
With a hint of confusion, Xiao Ya looked at Ye Xiaofei and pressed for an answer, "Didn't you just say that cultivators respect strength over reason? What if the people from the Maoshan Sect really come after us? What do we do then?"
"Have you forgotten about that pearl?"
Ye Xiaofei winked, appearing unconcerned.
"Huh? The Soul-capturing Magic Pearl?"
Xiao Ya froze for a moment, her gaze toward Ye Xiaofei filled with bewilderment.
