Xu Ziyan had just stood firm, and the girl's cultivation level was clearly higher than hers. Xu Ziyan couldn't dodge at all, and she didn't have much combat experience. She stood there in a daze, watching as the slap was about to hit her face. The boy suddenly took a step forward, reached out and grabbed the girl's wrist, then pulled her back. Smiling, he said to Xu Ziyan:

Never mind, Ximei

After speaking, he let go of the hand holding the girl's wrist and stepped away. The girl glared fiercely at Xu Ziyan. Just as she was about to take a step, she saw a twelve or thirteen year old boy bump into her and run forward quickly.

Looking for death

The girl vented her anger on the boy, lifted her foot, kicked the boy's butt, and kicked him to the ground. The boy turned over without saying a word and ran away with his head down.

This kick seemed to dispel the resentment in her heart, and the girl stopped looking at Xu Ziyan and chased straight towards Brother Lin ahead.

Xu Ziyan shook her head, with no intention of causing trouble and no qualifications to do so. Reorganizing my mood, I mustered up the courage to start browsing through one store after another, hoping to buy cheap materials for alchemy and talisman making.

Wandering aimlessly from east to west, Xu Ziyan walked into another store. As soon as I stepped in, I heard a surprise with a crying tone:

It's you! How dare you come here? Fourth Uncle, it was she who stole the talisman from me

Xu Ziyan was startled and looked up, her heart filled with anger. The girl who was shouting at her with her fingers was the one who was about to slap her in the face, with tears still visible on her face, while the young man she called Brother Lin was not here.

Uncle Si, it's her who stole the talisman from me

The middle-aged man named Fourth Uncle looked up and down at Xu Ziyan with suspicion in his eyes. Xu Ziyan looked at the girl with a misty expression, but when she heard that the girl said she had stolen something from her, she was so angry that her face turned red and she shouted loudly:

What nonsense are you talking about? Do you have anything worth stealing

You stole my talisman! "The girl said angrily.

Ximei, stop talking! "The fourth uncle scolded and turned to look at Xu Ziyan seriously. His tone slowed down a bit and he said," Miss, do you have any explanation

Explain? Why should I explain? "Xu Ziyan said with tears in her eyes and anger, feeling wronged.

Uncle Si, she's guilty of being a thief, "the girl gritted her teeth and said.

What did I do as a thief? When did I steal from you? What did I steal from you

When Xu Ziyan first arrived in the capital city, everything was still unfamiliar. She walked for another day but couldn't find what she needed, which can be described as physical and mental exhaustion. Now that she has been falsely accused by others, the grievances she has suffered can be imagined. She stubbornly endured the tears in her eyes, not letting them fall down.

It was you and a twelve or thirteen year old thief who deliberately bumped into my brother Lin, and then the thief took the opportunity to bump into me and stole the talisman I sent to Uncle Si, sobbing... "As she spoke, the girl started crying first.

As soon as she said this, Xu Ziyan immediately remembered that a twelve or thirteen year old child had bumped into her and kicked her, thinking that the child had stolen her talisman. Thinking of this, Xu Ziyan's heart was relieved for a moment, and a hint of mockery flashed across her lips. The fourth uncle had been watching the expression on Xu Ziyan's face all along. Seeing the change in her expression, he was nine out of ten certain that Xu Ziyan had nothing to do with this matter. However, when he turned his head to look at Xi Mei's painful and anxious expression, he felt a little sorry in his heart. He knew that she had lost so many talismans, and the family would definitely not let her go. He also had a very good relationship with her father. I couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Xin Dao had no choice but to blame the girl in front of him for this matter. Although this meant that the girl would undoubtedly die, it was better to die someone else than to die someone from one's own family. Besides, looking at her attire, she's not someone with a background, and her cultivation level is only a layer of Qi refining stage. If she dies, she will die. Thinking of this, he lowered his face and said coldly:

Miss, you'd better have an explanation, otherwise I'll have to take you to the family's execution hall

Wherever I went, I didn't steal either. "Xu Ziyan's heart had already sunk. With her experience, she could see that the fourth uncle in front of her was planning to blame her for this, but she couldn't take action. With her current cultivation, if she did, she would definitely die faster.

Okay! "Uncle Si's eyes were icy cold as he said calmly," Someone, tie her up for me

Immediately, two people rushed out from the side and tied Xu Ziyan's hands behind her back. Xu Ziyan had thought about resisting, but the fourth uncle on the other side suddenly released his momentum and tightly suppressed Xu Ziyan, unable to move at all.

In a moment of righteous anger, I saw Xi Mei suddenly jump in front of me, slap me in the face, and curse fiercely:

Where are you running this time, you bitch

Xu Ziyan bit her lip tightly and stared at Xu Ximei, with a hint of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

Send her to the execution hall, "Uncle Si said coldly.

What's going to alarm the family's execution hall

With the sound, a middle-aged man in a blue robe walked in and looked at the fourth uncle with a smile.

Second brother, why did you come to my place when you had time

Hehe, it's okay. I passed by your place and came in to take a look

Goodbye, Uncle Er, "Xi Mei timidly said.

Oh, it's Ximei. Why are you still here? Where's your Brother Lin? "Second Uncle teased.

Brother Lin has gone to catch the petty thief

What little thief? "Uncle Er asked blankly.

It's the accomplice of this female thief, "Xu Ximei pointed at Xu Ziyan with hatred and said," She teamed up with that little thief to steal the talisman from me. Brother Lin went to catch that little thief

Did you lose the talisman I asked you to deliver to the store? "Uncle Er's tone suddenly became cold.

Xu Ximei's face immediately turned pale, and she knelt on the ground with a 'plop' sound, bowing her head and not daring to speak again.

The second uncle snorted coldly and turned to look at Xu Ziyan, his gaze sharp like a knife, making Xu Ziyan feel the pain of her own skin being cut apart.

Did you steal the talisman of Ximei

I didn't steal, "Xu Ziyan stubbornly looked back at the second uncle.

Little girl, you probably don't know the value of talismans yet, "she said, taking out a talisman from her arms, spreading it out in her hand, and placing it in front of Xu Ziyan. She said calmly," This talisman is worth five hundred taels of silver, and what you stole is a whole fifty talismans. You should give it back to me, and I won't make it difficult for you

After speaking, a cold face fixed on Xu Ziyan.
