Because of her outstanding appearance, during her time in the capital, she was revered by many high officials and noblesâ sons as a distinguished guest, highly admired, and even many scholars praised her for her remarkable looks, holding a significant position even in the capital.
At this moment, seeing the Sacred Girl of Southern Border, her face pale, yet still not losing any of her beauty, Xiao Tianhao subconsciously raised an eyebrow.
However, thinking about the matters involving the Sacred Girl of Southern Border, his moment of softness instantly vanished, and he followed in.
Standing in front, he glanced at Chu Heng, seeing no reaction from him, still maintaining an indifferent look, he retracted his gaze and took the initiative to speak: "Saintess, why did you meet someone in private today?"
Xiao Tianhao interrogated directly.
The Sacred Girl of Southern Border showed no panic on her face, lifting her head, revealing a forehead full of cold sweat: "I merely heard that the other party is from the Southern Border, so I met according to the Southern Border Royal Familyâs customs."
At this, Xiao Tianhao snorted coldly, "Is that so? Then who was it that you met? What identity do they hold in the capital, and what is their name?"
"My lord, this lady is meeting her for the first time as well, and I cannot determine her identity; you all barged in." The Sacred Girl of Southern Border seemed to answer, yet there wasnât a piece of useful information.
Xiao Tianhao frowned, "Donât pretend you know nothing, Saintess, you should know that now we not only have you but also others. Even if you refuse to cooperate, and we use punishment, Southern Border is not qualified to cause us trouble."
"The Southern Border Witch Doctor has already confessed a lot in advance. If you really donât cooperate, Saintess, I donât know when I could release you."
The Sacred Girl of Southern Border remained silent for a while before speaking slowly: "I really canât confirm her identity."
"Then can you tell us about the portrait of the former Saintess?" Xiao Tianhao suddenly approached her, asking with a suggestive intent.
The Sacred Girl of Southern Borderâs pupils shrank slightly, looking into his eyes: "What does the lord need this for?"
"Because there is suspicion that the former Saintess of Southern Border is still alive and is in the capital."
"Minister Xiao, you continue to inquire, I will go search the post station." Chu Heng suddenly spoke, saying this to him before turning away.
The Sacred Girl of Southern Border felt a chill in her heart, watching Chu Heng walk away, feeling somewhat uneasy, especially after Xiao Tianhaoâs words, which made her increasingly certain that something went wrong on the Witch Doctorâs end, otherwise they wouldnât know about Bai Yaoâs existence.
Thinking about Chu Hengâs capabilities, she dared not hold onto a fluke mentality and suddenly called out to him: "Wait, Lord Chu, I have something to tell you."
Chu Heng did not stop his stride, "You can tell Minister Xiao, of course, even if you are unwilling, Minister Xiao also has the means to make you speak."
The Sacred Girl of Southern Borderâs expression instantly turned a shade paler.
Xiao Tianhao clicked his tongue twice inwardly, watching Chu Hengâs cold demeanor, he couldnât help but wonder if he was being too gentle; after all, why hadnât the interrogation yielded results after so long?
The Sacred Girl of Southern Border grew even paler, "But as long as I donât want to talk, I can delay time, even using punishment would be futile."
"Donât you all want me to cooperate?"
"I really have something important to say, the person who met with me was looking to buy medicine from me, Southern Border medicine, you should know..."
Chu Heng halted just at the last moment of her exhaustion.
Xiao Tianhao seized the opportunity to step forward, holding a whip in his hand, mercilessly lifting the chin of the Sacred Girl of Southern Border.
