Chapter 518 Young Woman Transformed into Old Woman

Xiaoying said angrily: "How could we be pretending? Why are you so unreasonable?!"

The woman stared at Jinglan from head to toe and said, "She is obviously a woman, but she is dressed as a man. Isn't that just pretending? She is so sneaky, is she still a good person?"

The three of them were suddenly extremely embarrassed, thinking that this woman had a very sharp eye and could tell at a glance that Jinglan was a woman disguised as a man.

Jinglan said: "I dressed like this because I really had no choice, but we are different from you, we are not here to harm anyone."

The woman stared at Chu Xiaomu and Jinglan for a long time and asked, "How can I believe you if you are not here to harm people?"

Chu Xiaomu said, "We are not locals, and we hardly know anyone in Jinyang City. Why would we come all the way here to harm people? There is no such thing in the world. This is absolutely true."

Xiaoying was still angry and said, "Did we arrest her or did she arrest us? It seems like she is interrogating us!"

Jinglan said, "Miss, we have a few questions for you. Please answer them carefully. If this is just a misunderstanding, we won't embarrass you."

The woman asked, "What time is it now?"

Jinglan said, "It's almost the hour of Xu." She thought to herself, why are you still concerned about the time at this time? Are you going to report to your master?

The woman immediately became very nervous and said, "Quick...quick...quickly let me go!"

Chu Xiaomu frowned and said, "We can't let you go unless you explain yourself clearly!"

The woman still said, "You...you let me out...I...I won't make things difficult for you anymore..." Her expression was extremely frightened.

The three of them looked at each other, wondering why she suddenly became so scared. Jinglan asked, "Is someone trying to kill you?"

The woman just shook her head and said in a trembling voice, "Please... please, let me... let me go..." Tears actually flowed from her eyes, but her body could not move at all.

The three of them couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted when they saw her so pitiful. Xiaoying whispered, "Why don't we just let her go? She's so pitiful..."

Chu Xiaomu raised his palm and said, "Tell me, are you from the Golden Sword Sect?"

The woman said, "No... no... how could I be from the Golden Sword Sect... please... let me go... I will never... never embarrass you again..."

Chu Xiaomu sighed and waved her hand to dispel the Soul Locking Palm that was hitting her.

The woman hurriedly climbed out of the window without looking back, but her speed had become very slow. What surprised the three people even more was that she was aging rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her originally dark hair turned gray, and her delicate and flawless face was covered with wrinkles.

In just a cup of tea, the woman turned from a beautiful young girl into an ugly old woman.

The two girls were so scared that they hid behind Chu Xiaomu and dared not look anymore.

The woman crawled to the window, but was no longer able to climb out. She huddled in the corner, trembling, and it was unclear whether she was afraid or crying.

When the three of them saw the woman transform from a beautiful young girl into an old woman with wrinkles all over her face in an instant, they not only felt it was very strange, but were also emotionally shocked beyond words.

Jinglan bravely walked over, squatted beside her and said softly: "Don't worry, we won't hurt you."

The old woman panted for a long time, then raised her head and asked, "You... are really not here to hurt anyone?" Not only did she look much older, her body also seemed several times weaker.

Jinglan nodded and said, "If we really want to harm someone, you are already in our hands now, and it would be easy to kill you. There is no need to deceive you anymore."

The old lady thought the same thing and said, "Then what on earth were they trying to do by going around the streets asking about that man yesterday?"

The three of them thought, "So it's about this matter, but we are just asking around. You don't have to come here in the middle of the night to kill someone." It's not something a normal person would do to make a fuss about nothing.

Chu Xiaomu asked, "Are you saying that we should inquire about General Xuan?"

The old woman snorted and said, "Besides asking about his residence along the way, who else did you ask?!"

Chu Xiaomu shook his head and said, "Only him, no one else."

The three of them could not imagine that the old woman would assassinate Xuan Ying in the middle of the night because of his affairs, and they could not understand it at all. Xiaoying said, "What is so great about your General Xuan? Can't you find out more about him?!"

The old woman said, "There are many people in Jinyang City who want to kill him, so he lives in a very secluded place. You kept asking questions along the way, and I can't think of any other reason except that you want to harm him."

The three of them were delighted when they heard her say this. It seemed that the old woman must know where Xuanying lived. Moreover, in order to prevent others from harming him, she took the risk of assassinating someone who might harm him late at night. It seemed that she must be a good friend of Xuanying.

Chu Xiaomu couldn't bear it any longer, so he walked forward, bowed deeply, and said, "It seems that we did have a misunderstanding. I apologize to you."

The old woman snorted and said, "You don't need to apologize. If you hadn't hidden yourself, I would have stabbed you to death. I'm not as hypocritical as you!"

Chu Xiaomu was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

The old woman continued, "I heard that the unrivaled Huangwu Soul-Locking Seal is not passed on to outsiders. Where did you learn it from? Could it be that you are also from the Huangwu clan?"

Chu Xiaomu shook his head and said, "I'm not from the Huangwu clan, and I'm not using the Huangwu Soul Locking Seal." He originally planned to say that the three of them all had the surname Lin, but after thinking about it, he held back.

The old woman nodded and said, "I guess you are not, but you look a bit similar." After a pause, she continued, "Since you don't want to harm him, why are you asking about his residence?"

Jinglan said, "Old family member, can you first tell us what your relationship with General Xuan is?"

The old woman's expression immediately became very shy. Although her eyes were a little cloudy, they still had clear waves flowing in them, like a pool of spring water. She said, "I... why should I tell you..."

However, her gaze naturally did not escape the eyes of the three men. Thinking of her beautiful face not long ago, they thought that this was clearly the look of an infatuated woman. Could it be that she did such a shocking thing in the middle of the night because she was deeply in love with Xuanying?

Jinglan thought for a moment and said, "Then are you and General Xuan enemies?"

"Of course not!" said the old woman unhappily.
