While speaking, this Third Lady exuded charm, and her gaze at Xue An was so soft it almost seemed to melt.
Seeing this scene, Tuan’er couldn’t help but mutter to herself.
Hmph, vixen!
Immediately, she looked worriedly at Xue An, silently praying in her heart.
Young Master Xue, don’t fall for this woman’s tricks!
Even though she is beautifully seductive, such women are deceptive.
It seemed her silent prayer had an effect, as Xue An slightly raised his eyebrow and spoke with a voice cold as ice.
"Thank? Did I ask you to kill him?"
Despite being treated like this, the Third Lady continued to smile.
"Oh, why so hostile? I just meant well and wanted to help you out...."
The word "help" had just left her lips when her speech was abruptly interrupted.
For at that moment, Xue An appeared before her like a ghost, and with one hand, clutched her neck, lifting her into the air.
The Third Lady’s face instantly turned crimson, for this grip not only seized her throat but also locked her Cultivation Level.
A trace of panic appeared in her eyes.
She finally understood why Xu Gaotian hadn’t struggled when Xue An grabbed him by the neck; it wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but that he simply couldn’t.
Simultaneously, Xue An said coldly, "I don’t care who you were before, but I really dislike your tone, and you killed Shi Chang without my permission. Logically, you deserve death too!"
The fear in the Third Lady’s eyes grew stronger, her mouth moved with difficulty—although no sound came out, from her lip movements, one could tell she was saying "spare me."
Only then did Xue An release his grip, and the Third Lady fell to the ground, coughing violently.
Xue An did not rush, just stood there quietly waiting, until she finally returned to normal, and then he spoke.
"Now you answer my questions without hiding anything, otherwise...."
The Third Lady nodded hurriedly, "I understand, I dare not deceive you, sir."
Her face naturally expressed a pitiful demeanor as she spoke, but Xue An slightly frowned, ignoring it, and asked sternly.
"What is your name?"
"My name is Sheng Hongqian!"
"Who are these people to you?"
"They are my sworn brothers!"
"Where are you from?"
"Dragon Tiger Stronghold!"
"Why are you here?"
"We came at Shi Chang’s invitation!"
"Why did he invite you?"
"He had already allied with us, and feared trouble during this literary gathering, so he specifically invited us to help!"
Upon hearing this, Xue An remained silent for a moment.
Sheng Hongqian cautiously observed Xue An, her eyes glowing more brightly the more she looked.
However, when Xue An looked down at her, she quickly lowered her eyes, hiding the glow within them.
"So your eagerness to kill him just now, was it because he knew something?" Xue An asked blandly.
Sheng Hongqian’s body trembled slightly, but she immediately raised her head with a charming smile and said, "Sir, you’re overthinking it, I just...."
Xue An snorted coldly, a fierce aura arising, causing Sheng Hongqian’s face to turn instantly pale as paper.
"Didn’t you hear what I just said?" Xue An asked.
