going crazy
“Meng Ying, are you really working for the vampire demons? Why are you still silent at this point? Just talk and spare yourself the torture.” Alvin began, making one final desperate attempt to settle things quietly. Murong Wuque remained silent, ignoring her as she dangled mid air, wrapped with the purple lightning strands that wouldn't stop crackling. Qin Li's breath had already evened out, he was sleeping in the midst of the chaos, without a care in the world. It was as if nothing happening in the house was any of his business, and he wasn't afraid of a stray attack hitting his sleeping form either. He looked relaxed even, except for the little pinch between his brows. Shi Meng Ying chuckled and wiped away the blood and sweat matting her face. “I guess even the Almighty Prince of heaven, Murong Wuque can feel stumped too.” She mocked, noticing his hesitation to go to the extreme, and the covert way his eyes would occasionally go to Alvin to check his expression. He was ho

Cuts began to appear on her body, and her beautiful white robe began to change color in some places, bearing splotches of blood. A grey vortex appeared behind her, and she tried to dive into it. Murong Wuque flicked his finger, smacking her to the floor. The grey vortex instantly disappeared. Alvin, seeing that things were getting out of hand, quickly drew a line, setting up a hasty exclusion formation. The energy wall separated them from the other non cultivators in the living area. While they can still see what was going on, the energy won't be able to get to them. Martha gasped out loud, same with the others. Their breaths had seized when Murong Wuque’s purple lightning appeared. But thanks to Alvin's quick thinking, they were encircled out of the toxic space before any real harm could be done. The girls looked scared, all except Tiffany. She looked giddy and her eyes were shining with longing and eagerness as she gazed at them through the transparent partition. Although
heart of stone
Murong Wuque kept leaning against a dining chair, watching Meng Ying. The rest were equally silent. The tension was strong enough to cut steel. “Why are you forcing my hand? You better talk on your own. At least then, you will be able to retain a bit of dignity.” Meng Ying chuckled, and stood up. Her legs were shaky due to being broken but she gritted her teeth and held a nearby chair to keep steady. Probably, she thought that increasing her height would give her more confidence to assert herself. Shi Yue rushed to support her, letting her lean against her body. “Senior, you're making things difficult for me. With what eyes did you see me adding poison to your meals?” She turned to Shi Wei, then Shi Qian Ling. “And you both, aren't you ashamed to stand there watching as he bullies me? What kind of sworn brothers are you?” “A'Ying, this is a serious case. We need to approach this with tact. Senior has not gone overboard yet, and we're here trying to rectify it as peacefully a
Deadlock
“First brother…” Qin Li began, making everyone turn to him. Shi Wei inhaled deeply and took a step towards him. “Qin Li, what do you think about this case?” Alvin also turned, eager to hear his opinion. Qin Li was cold and upright, he would never make a decision based on emotions. So he was the best candidate when it comes to being a good judge of character. Meng Ying also looked at him, her eyes had a complicated expression in them, and she looked guarded, almost as if she was being careful not to give anything away. Qin Li felt a heavy weight pressing down on his shoulders. Even the crying girls turned to him, waiting on him to deliver the verdict. “If First brother said she's the one then there's a 98% probability that she's the main culprit he was looking for.” His words made everywhere go silent, and they held their breaths, totally stunned. “You can't just say that because he's your first brother.” Shi Yue cried out, rushing to stand before Shi Meng Ying. Shi We
Unexpected
Murong Wuque chuckled and took a sip of water. “Take a guess. It's probably the one who appears the most harmless in the room.” “The most harmless?” Alvin looked at Oliver, then Leah, Martha and Elena. They all looked spineless and harmless, but none of them should have a reason to hurt him. Murong Wuque walked to Shi Meng Ying who had remained silent all along, watching with careful detachment and calm, as if none of the chaos had anything to do with her. “You're such a snake. How can you have such an innocent face, yet be capable of that level of wickedness? Indeed, looks are the most deceptive and unreliable thing in the world.” Everyone was immediately stunned. Alvin was the most surprised of all. “Wuque, could you be mistaken? She's in a wheelchair, being pushed around due to the severe injuries she incurred during the invasion. It's not possible that the culprit is her. The idea that she might be working with the vampires is purely ridiculous, they almost killed her.
Everyone is a suspect.
Alvin rushed to her and helped her to a sofa. “Martha, calm down. Be mindful of your age and health. Don't get unnecessarily scared. I won't let him go overboard with you.” She shook her head, overcome with agony. She kept hitting her chest repeatedly, finding it hard to breathe. Alvin wanted to caution Murong Wuque to tone down his aura, but he knew that the situation called for brutal force. Otherwise, they wouldn't get any result and the culprit would get even bolder if they escaped unscathed this time. He turned to Murong Wuque. “You can check the others, but let Martha off for now.” Qin Li cut in, looking anxious. “That's right, First brother. She's already an old woman, and her health isn't all that great. Don't scare her. You can handle the rest however you want, but her age is already advanced, too much shock might cause unnecessary problems.” Murong Wuque gave him a chilling glare, from head to toe. “Even old people are veteran assassins. I don't expect that lev
