Chapter 774: Confess
When Qi Xuansu left home, he was worried about a thorough search by the Spirit Guards in Purple Mansion, so he hid the fish talisman in his bedroom. Unexpectedly, the Spirit Guards did not find it, but Zhang Yuelu did.
Qi Xuansu began to suspect that Zhang Yuelu had initially intended to place him on the bed. However, upon discovering this item, she angrily threw him onto the floor instead.
Thinking carefully, Qi Xuansu came up with a bold plan. Dreaming Death was known for its powerful after-effects that would make people pass out and forget many things. Perhaps Zhang Yuelu would not remember much from her drunken state. So why not get rid of the evidence before she woke up?
With this thought in mind, Qi Xuansu cautiously reached out with two fingers, trying to carefully pry the fish talisman from Zhang Yuelu’s grip.
However, he found that Zhang Yuelu was clenching it too tightly. He could not take it away.
Left with no other choice, Qi Xuansu decided to gently pry open her fingers.
At that exact moment, Zhang Yuelu suddenly opened her eyes.
When their eyes met, Qi Xuansu felt as if time itself had stopped, like when Yao Pei wielded the Staff of Merit.
Zhang Yuelu grabbed Qi Xuansu’s wrist, catching him red-handed. She questioned him, “What do you think you’re doing?”
“Nothing at all,” Qi Xuansu said guiltily.
“Nothing at all?” Zhang Yuelu raised an eyebrow. “Then why were you prying my fingers open?”
