Xu Qing's cold questioning instantly woke Cripple up from his daze.
Turning his head to look around, Cripple's expression suddenly changed. He glanced at Ding Hao with a little fear, and then immediately withdrew his gaze, as if he had made a big mistake.
"Speak! Who exactly are you? "
Xu Qing's gaze was rather impatient, and her voice became heavier as she asked.
Cripple staggered backward and almost fell to the ground. After stabilizing his body with great difficulty, Cripple shook his head in fear. "Spare me! Spare me! I've found the wrong person! I'll leave now! "
After saying that, Cripple leaned on his walking stick and prepared to escape.
But how could Xu Qing let him leave so easily? Her body flickered, and she stood in front of Cripple, blocking his path.
Cripple's face was full of bitterness, and he looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears. "Fairy, I must have been blind and recognized the wrong person. Fairy, please let me go. I'll leave now! "
"Of course I can let you go."
Xu Qing had a charming smile on her face, and her words were rather captivating. "You just need to tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Ding Hao?"
Cripple's gaze was lifeless, and he said in a daze, "Me and Young Master Ding …"
But suddenly, Cripple seemed to come back to his senses. He shook his head and hurriedly said, "I don't know any Ding Hao! The Young Master Ding I'm talking about is my young master. He's called Ding Lei, no, no, he's called Ding Han. "
Cripple had a serious expression, but in Xu Qing's eyes, he was undoubtedly trying to hide something.
She stood up with a smile on her face and said softly to Cripple, "Don't run. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious. "
Cripple wanted to cry but had no tears, but he obediently nodded his head.
But the moment Xu Qing turned her gaze to Ding Hao, the corner of Cripple's mouth suddenly curled into a meaningful smile.
Xu Qing looked at Ding Hao with a smile on her face. However, unlike before, there was an endless coldness hidden in this smile.
"I really didn't expect this. Brother Ding, you actually have the mood to take in a servant on Devil Spirit Island. It's just that little sister doesn't understand, your Abyssal Sacred Valley clearly has so many people at your beck and call, so why did you choose a crippled outsider? "
Xu Qing's eyes suddenly turned cold, and her voice was no longer as gentle as before, "Or, Brother Ding, do you want to do something shady?"
Ding Hao had already regained his composure. He said unhurriedly, "Fairy, anyone with a discerning eye can see that I don't know this person at all. Moreover, if this Ding really wanted to do that shady business, wouldn't it be more convenient to be alone? Why would you find a half-dead cripple to ruin my plans? "
"That's right!" Cripple, who was standing at the side, nodded in agreement when he heard this. "Ding … This little brother is right. I'm just a hindrance. The only reason I'm here is to complete the herb-gathering mission given by the lord of Misty Cloud Island. This little brother looks like he's from a rich and powerful family. Even if I, Cripple, want to climb up the social ladder, I can't. "
Cripple's words caused Xu Qing, who was originally a little shaken, to suddenly become firm. "Brother Ding, you and this cripple's words are really the same. This way, I can't help but think that Brother Ding, did you deliberately find such a useless person so that you can find an excuse to get out of this if your deeds are exposed? "
"Hmph!"
Gao Lin also snorted coldly. His eyes were full of ridicule as he said, "Fairy's words, I don't know how Brother Ding can explain it? Brother Ding, quickly think of a reason that can convince us. My patience is running out. "
At this moment, without any evidence, Ding Hao also could not find any reason to prove his innocence.
Immediately, Ding Hao's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "I know that no matter how I refute, it's useless. This cripple framed me like this, so he must have a grudge against me. Fairy, you can interrogate this person. If he really has real evidence, then I can only admit defeat. However, if you can't find any evidence, please kill him for me! "
Now that things had come to this, Ding Hao could only take a gamble.
He bet that this cripple just wanted to come and frame him, but he didn't have any real evidence.
If so, Ding Hao believed that he could still safely get through this trial.
"Brother Ding, you really have a card up your sleeve! If so, I can only do as you say. "
Of course, Xu Qing knew that words alone were not enough. She glanced at Gao Lin and smiled, "Brother Gao, please be careful. If this cripple really has an accomplice, I'm afraid that Brother Ding will be in danger."
Gao Lin understood that Xu Qing was reminding him not to let Ding Hao find a chance to kill him. He immediately patted his chest and said confidently, "Fairy, don't worry. With me here, no one can play any tricks!"
Xu Qing nodded and smiled. Then, she looked at the cripple again.
Xu Qing once again had an enchanting smile on her face. Coupled with her beauty that could cause the downfall of a city, no one would be able to resist her at all.
"Brother, you've heard what Brother Ding said before. Next, don't lie about what you're going to say, okay? Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you won't die. "
The cripple looked at Ding Hao with a face full of fear. It was as if he didn't expect Ding Hao to kill him.
But when his eyes met Ding Hao's, he suddenly withdrew his gaze, as if he had been intimidated and threatened.
He shook his head and said, "Fairy, I really don't know him! I'm just an ordinary herb gatherer! I hope you can forgive me for offending you! "
Xu Qing frowned and her voice was cold and murderous, "Looks like you won't cry until you see the coffin. You have no choice now. If you don't tell the truth, you will die! If you tell me everything you know, I guarantee that even Ding Hao won't be able to hurt you! "
When the cripple heard this, his expression seemed to waver. He asked worriedly, "Are you serious?"
Xu Qing smiled again and nodded lightly, "Of course I am serious. Also, I can guarantee that not only will you not die, you will also be rewarded handsomely. "
When he heard the word reward, Cripple's eyes lit up. When he looked at Ding Hao again, there was no longer any fear or hesitation in his eyes. Instead, there was more guilt and sadness.
"Young Master Ding, I've let you down! I can't hide it for you anymore. I hope Young Master Ding can understand that I entered Devil Spirit Island to survive! When I decided to rely on you, it was also to survive! Now, it's also to survive! "
Cripple's words were full of sincerity. It was as if he was living at the bottom of the world and was trying to survive.
Ding Hao saw all of this and hated him in his heart. But if he made the slightest movement, he would immediately receive a warning look from Gao Lin.
