"What do you think?!" Elder Mei stopped wasting words, her voice had turned cold, and a murderous aura shot straight up to the sky.
She was worried something unexpected would happen.
She also somewhat doubted whether what that young man had just said was actually true.
Or rather, how long could the hidden trap in her body be suppressed.
If it only lasted a short while, then if she wasted time talking, the moment Yue Ying had a thought, she and her two junior sisters would be completely finished.
By then, the entire Leqing Sect would definitely be locked in a fight to the death with Yue Chan and the others.
So, in agreeing to Lin Xi’s terms, she was gambling as well.
Besides, she’d lived to such an old age and seen quite a lot; how could she possibly just trust someone completely and hand over her life and death so easily?
Especially to a stranger.
Even with Little Yue Chan and the others, they didn’t trust them one hundred percent.
"Hmph!"
"Courting death!"
Yue Ying snorted coldly. "But you really shouldn’t have said so much. Ever heard the saying ’villains die from talking too much’?"
"You should’ve killed me before I could react at all. The chances were small, sure, but you can’t deny there was still some chance."
"And now, you really think I don’t dare kill you three?!"
But as soon as she finished saying that, the confident smile on her face suddenly froze.
"What’s going on?"
"What’s going on?"
"That’s absolutely impossible!"
"Why are you three fine?"
In that moment, she couldn’t care less whether she was still under Elder Mei’s control; she started struggling wildly.
She’d completely lost any semblance of a Sect Leader’s bearing.
The other disciples, even her trusted followers, had started to doubt.
They didn’t know what had happened.
But from the looks of her, it seemed there were things in the middle that they didn’t know about.
Especially those who never believed her from the start or were inclined toward Yue Chan’s side; at this moment, they couldn’t help whispering among themselves.
Elder Ying and Elder Shuang both showed looks of surprise on their faces.
Right after Yue Ying spat out that "courting death," they’d already been fully on guard.
Even if they couldn’t stop that fate-worse-than-death feeling.
They still felt that if they resisted with everything they had, they wouldn’t die that quickly.
Besides, these past few days, they had been constantly researching methods.
They had gained a bit of experience.
Of course, the time had still been too short, and they hadn’t been able to change anything.
And yet now, they felt nothing at all?
Could it be Yue Ying hadn’t activated it?
But from the way she was acting right now, that was absolutely impossible!
She had definitely triggered it just now.
It was just that their bodies hadn’t reacted in the slightest!
They both looked at Elder Mei in puzzlement and couldn’t help asking, "Senior Sister, what’s going on?"
Elder Mei only gave them a reassuring look, then turned to Lin Xi. Her demeanor absolutely looked like she was asking for instructions.
This made quite a few people who noticed this scene look confused.
Could this have something to do with that young man?
Wasn’t he on Yue Chan’s side?
What on earth was going on?
In an instant, they were all completely baffled.
Could someone please explain this to them?
Being completely kept in the dark was really uncomfortable, okay!
Lin Xi smiled. "Do what you’re supposed to do."
Princess Consort Le, Yue Chan, Leng Qin, and Red Moon had already gathered behind Lin Xi.
They were certain that today was absolutely the first time Lin Xi had met the three elders.
