I Am Loaded With Passive Skills

Chapter 3699 -1797: Suspicion

How could Ping’er know why she remembered, while they all forgot.

If you know, then speak.

If you don’t know, then remain silent.

She never expected that trying to show off in front of Young Master Li would backfire, causing suspicion.

“I…”

Ping’er was so anxious that her face turned red, stammering for a long time, unable to speak a word.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have lost my temper with you.”

Yue Gongli was also quite scared by Xu Xiaoshou.

After regaining his composure, he mocked himself for starting to shout at a little maid, which was beneath his dignity.

“Did I scare you?”

He pinched Ping’er’s face.

The latter’s body trembled, and she shook her head slightly.

Yue Gongli handed over a dimly glowing elixir: “Endure this, I need to Soul Search, but there won’t be any side effects.”

Ping’er shivered as she took the elixir, but swallowed it without hesitation.

In serious matters, Yue Gongli wouldn’t be merciful; he immediately pressed his palm on the top of Ping’er’s head, scouring through her memory of everything that just happened at the Tingyu Pavilion.

“Games, illusions, mournful, Qianshi…”

Scene after scene, memories were rapidly read.

Yue Gongli saw “himself” appearing at the Tingyu Pavilion, asking all sorts of questions, clearly Xu Xiaoshou probing the deepest secrets of each family.

The maids of the Tingyu Pavilion naturally didn’t guard themselves against “him,” and said what they were meant to say.

Among them, Shuangshuang who played the guqin and Huan’er who played the flute revealed the most information, including Beihuai’s Mournful and Qianshi’s Way of Star, and so on.

As for Ping’er and Dai’er, they were rather regular.

The interpretation of each family was superficial, and their words were harmless, saying it was like saying nothing.

“You two, come here.”

Yue Gongli called out publicly, like Yama calling a roll.

Shuangshuang and Huan’er, whose names were called, felt weak-legged at once, even standing was a struggle, let alone walking over to face Young Master Li.

Yue Gongli walked over himself, smiling gently: “No need to be afraid, it’s just a routine procedure. Even if both of you are Xu Xiaoshou in disguise, I won’t harm you. My relationship with him isn’t bad enough for that.”

He took out the elixirs and handed them to Shuangshuang and Huan’er, placing both hands on their heads, continuing the Soul Search.

A good relationship…

Hua Changdeng stood to one side, expressionless.

What did that mean, he couldn’t quite understand.

Was he declaring to him the Cold Palace Emperor Realm’s stance, that even with the matter of the Ancestor Stone Carving preceding it, private matters were private, public affairs were public, and he wouldn’t interfere in matters between Yunshan and Xu Xiaoshou?

Or was he showing weakness, and goodwill to the possibly “present” Xu Xiaoshou, letting them fight their own battles, and not dragging the Cold Palace Emperor Realm into it?

Hua Changdeng said nothing.

He couldn’t be bothered to guess this vixen’s intentions.

Targeting Xu Xiaoshou, he didn’t need Yue Gongli to take action. As long as he could find the person, everything would be negotiable.

The wait wasn’t long.

Yue Gongli’s Soul Power wasn’t ordinary, quickly finishing the reading of Shuangshuang and Huan’er’s memories.

The two women collapsed softly to the ground, yet remained unharmed under the protection of the elixirs.

Yue Gongli’s expression was gloomy; the taste of Soul Search wasn’t pleasant, being more or less affected by another’s past memories.

“How was it?” Hua Changdeng looked over.

Yue Gongli shook his head: “No different from what was said, they know nothing, their memories are a blur, clearly obscured by Xu Xiaoshou’s Great Path of Will.”

“Clearly…”

Now Hua Changdeng was very cautious.

If earlier, his impression of Xu Xiaoshou was still at the level of “Xiao Shi Tan Ji” in the Eighth Palace, at most adding “Name·Tide Rise.”

Having come all the way from Yunshan to the Cold Palace Emperor Realm, and listened to Yue Gongli recount what had happened to them in the Divine Relics.

Hua Changdeng realized he hadn’t underestimated Xu Xiaoshou, but underestimated and overestimated this young man simultaneously.

“Could your so-called ‘clearly’ also be his guidance? You said before his Great Path of Will embodies Super Taoization.” Hua Changdeng said.

Yue Gongli was suddenly enlightened, feeling like the skies cleared amidst clouds.

Was what he obtained exactly what Xu Xiaoshou wanted him to see?

Then besides the obviously visible Shuangshuang and Huan’er on the surface, could it be the more discreet, unnoticed Ping’er and Dai’er that are more suspicious?

Yue Gongli’s gaze turned cold as he swept over the remaining maids.

The maids fell silent, each trembling, their reactions typical, with no one displaying any special abnormalities.

“Search them one by one!”

Yue Gongli’s eyes chilled.

To deal with a cunning person like Xu Dao, enumeration method isn’t always the most time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the most realistic approach.

His gaze swept, finally settling.

Relying on the sixth sense from the vixen, his finger pointed to the one that intuition deemed most suspicious:

“Dai’er, come here.”

Dai’er’s expression froze, her body stiffening in place, legs like lead, unable to move.

“Come here!”

The girl’s lips turned pale as she trembled and walked over.

Yue Gongli pulled out the elixir, ready to hand it over.

Beside him, Hua Changdeng had a sudden realization, issuing a long sigh: “Afraid we might fall into his guidance again…”

“What do you mean?” Yue Gongli frowned and looked over.

Hua Changdeng said: “Since he could blur all the women’s memories, and let one of them remember certain things to confuse matters, even if you Soul Search and get the result you want, it’s probably what he wants you to see.”

Yue Gongli opened his mouth but had no words to retort.

Hua Changdeng was right; Xu Xiaoshou’s unpredictability was not below that of Dao Qiongcang.

Continuing to linger around the matters of Tingyu Pavilion was essentially just being led by the nose, with the resultant guesses from groping in the dark all likely inaccurate.

“Perhaps, it’s time to think about what Xu Xiaoshou really wants to do?”
