Disguised as a man, she became the biggest villain in the book.

Chapter 166 Taking advantage of others’ danger

Hearing his fellow disciples pressing him for Mingli's whereabouts, She Yizhou felt a sudden panic, but he quickly forced himself to calm down and deliberately put on a look of great surprise.

She then said, "Mingli? I haven't seen him since the last time I met him! I don't know where he went..." After saying that, she shook her head seriously, indicating that she knew nothing about it either.

However, only She Yizhou knew the truth: Mingli had already died, and the murderer was none other than himself.

When Mingli went to see She Yizhou that day, she discovered that She Yizhou was secretly putting drugs in Guan Zhitong's tea. The drugs would only make people fall into a drowsy state and would not kill them.

She Yizhou wanted to take this opportunity to steal the martial arts manual, but Mingli saw him doing it. So, She Yizhou decided to go all the way and killed him.

After She Yizhou finished disposing of Mingli's body, he discovered that the effects of the drug he had given Guan Zhitong were wearing off. He then temporarily abandoned his plan to steal the martial arts manual and decided to settle Guan Zhitong first before making any further plans.

So as not to wake Guan Zhitong and arouse his suspicion.

Therefore, She Yi's plan to steal the martial arts manual has not yet been discovered, but now that Mingli is nowhere to be found, it may arouse suspicion from others if it goes on for too long.

At this moment, She Yizhou was thinking that he had to find a way to conceal this matter and not let anyone notice the slightest flaw.

After he obtained the martial arts manual, he first made a copy and gave it to the Wuji Sect. Then he put the original copy back, and no one discovered the matter.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of She Yizhou, the fellow disciple left.

As She Yizhou watched his fellow disciple's departing figure, his expression changed, and he immediately turned and returned to his room.

Looking at the corpse under the bed, She Yizhou felt he couldn't leave it there any longer; he had to bury it quickly, otherwise it would start to smell.

Without hesitation, She Yizhou carried the corpse to the back mountain that very night.

She Yizhou found a secluded spot and began to dig the grave with all his might. He swung the shovel incessantly, and in no time, a large pit large enough to hold the body was formed.

Just as he was about to bury the man, Guan Zhitong, along with a group of people, caught She Yizhou red-handed.

the other side at this time

Zheng Luoqi received a report from her subordinates that She Yizhou was trying to destroy the evidence, but Guan Zhitong was leading a group to catch him red-handed.

"Great opportunity! Go quickly! While most of the Sword Shadow Sect members are out and haven't returned yet, let's first inject some muscle-relaxing powder into their water!" Zheng Luoqi decisively ordered.

“They will definitely seize She Yizhou and interrogate him severely tonight. Guan Zhitong and Guan Zhitiao are furious and their vigilance will naturally be lowered. How could they notice anything fishy in the water?” Zheng Luoqi said with a sly glint in her eyes.

Sword Shadow Sect

She Yizhou was caught red-handed and has now been taken back to the Sword Shadow Sect for interrogation.

She Yizhou knelt in the center of the Sword Shadow Sect's main hall, while Guan Zhitong sat above him, looking at She Yizhou with a disappointed expression.

"Master, junior sister, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I was just in a moment of weakness, which is why the Wuji Sect caught me. I was afraid of disappointing you, so I listened to Gongshan Mufeng's words." She Yizhou said with a repentant expression, weeping bitterly.

"Yizhou, you have disappointed me greatly. You know perfectly well what the Wuji Sect is, yet you still choose to associate with them and even harm my Sword Shadow Sect! You are truly unworthy to be a member of the Sword Shadow Sect!" Guan Zhitong said slowly, looking at She Yizhou with a face full of disappointment and sorrow.

"Senior brother, what exactly did Mingli do wrong? Why did you kill him?" Guan Zhitiao asked with a face full of resentment.

"Junior sister, no, no! It's just because I love you so much that I don't want you to marry that Xing Tu."

"So I took a desperate gamble and resorted to this worst possible strategy, seeking help from the Wuji Sect in the hopes of killing Xingtu! But before I could even make a move, Xingtu was already dead!" She Yizhou cried as he looked at Guan Zhitiao.

"What? You killed Xing Tu?" Guan Zhitiao asked in shock after hearing She Yizhou's words.

"No, I didn't kill Xing Tu. He died before I even started!" She Yizhou explained.

"Then how do you explain Xing Tu's death? Did the Wuji Sect act before you even made a move, without informing you? How can I believe you?" Guan Zhitiao retorted.

"I...I...I really wasn't me. I know you might not believe me, but it's true!" She Yizhou explained, feeling wronged.

"Senior brother, it's already come to this point, and you still don't want to admit it? Senior brother, I almost don't recognize you anymore!" Guan Zhitiao shook his head, disappointed.

"Considering that we were once master and disciple, you may leave on your own. Don't ever say you're a member of my Sword Shadow Sect again!" Guan Zhitong said slowly.

Upon hearing this, She Yizhou suddenly became indignant and said, "Why? Junior sister, you know I like you, but you won't give me a chance at all. You have so many men around you, why can't you have one more? It's not like I can't tolerate them."

"And you, Master, if you had agreed to marry my junior sister to me back then, would I have gone down this path? Besides, I never intended to harm the Sword Shadow Sect from the very beginning. All I ever wanted was my junior sister!"

"Besides, I told you I didn't kill Xing Tu, why don't you believe me?" She Yizhou said angrily.

“Senior brother, there is no possibility between us. Why are you so stubborn?” Guan Zhitiao said helplessly.

"Why can others do it, but I can't?" She Yizhou asked Guan Zhitiao resentfully.

Guan Zhitiao could no longer keep up the pretense and turned to look at Guan Zhitong. Seeing that things had come to this point, Guan Zhitong no longer intended to hide it.

"Because you and she are siblings, half-siblings!" Guan Zhitong said slowly.

“Wh...what?” She Yizhou suddenly froze, as if he had heard something unbelievable, and suddenly couldn’t say a word.

"That's right, you are my illegitimate child. When I saw you and Zhi Tiao getting too close, I was afraid that you would have feelings for each other, so I told Zhi Tiao early on that you are my illegitimate child."

"Because of how good you were to her since you were little, Zhi Tiao never thought of making things difficult for you and always treated you like an older brother. I thought that after Zhi Tiao got married, you would give up on this idea, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn!"

After Guan Zhitong finished speaking, she picked up the freshly brewed tea on the table and took a sip.

The taste just felt a little strange, so I looked up at the person pouring the tea, and realized I hadn't seen this person in the Sword Shadow Sect before.

Suddenly realizing what was happening, I thought to myself: Oh no!

Zheng Luoqi had been waiting for this moment. The others were nothing to fear, but this old man had to fall for it. The Sword Shadow Sect Master's martial arts skills were definitely not low.

Under normal circumstances, Zheng Luoqi wouldn't dare to guarantee that he could win over this old man.
