The willow leaves swayed casually in the gentle breeze, and the sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled light onto the delicate white gown, reflecting the icy beauty of her face. She did not glance away, continuing to watch the activity outside the courtyard. Since the decline of her family, that wooden door often opened, and the visitors were never kind.
"Miss Xiaoxaio, the master summons you," the maid whispered softly as she approached Xiaoxaio.
Xiaoxaio nodded, then brushed her sleeve and walked towards the main hall of the mansion.
"Master, what can I do for you?" Xiaoxaio stood respectfully in the center of the hall, looking towards the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat.
The landlord took a deep breath, his face solemn: " Xiaoxaio, the Nine Lives Stone is missing."
A faint sound of a sword rang out, and "Iceheart" in Xiaoxaio's hand trembled slightly. The stone, which was said to possess mysterious powers in the family legend, had actually disappeared?
"Are you saying that the Nine Lives Stone was stolen?" Xiaoxaio furrowed her brows, sensing something suspicious.
The master of the house fell silent for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, and someone suspects you of being the thief."
"What's going on?" The cold question came out immediately, and the Iceheart Sword emitted a faint chill.
"Someone found a stone similar to the Nine Lives Stone in your study, and also discovered some evidence that appears to be related to a crime," the head of the household said with a more serious expression.
Xiaoxaio My heart skipped a beat. This is clearly a setup, but the most important thing now is to find the real thief and clear my name.
"Master, I will go investigate this matter tomorrow and will definitely uncover the truth," Xiaoxaio said solemnly, taking a deep breath.
However, the situation has become far more complex and serious than Xiaoxaio had imagined.
The next day, Xiaoxaio was surrounded by a group of family guards, accusing her of being the thief who stole the Nine Lives Stone.
"Miss Xiaoxaio, the master of the house has ordered for you to come with us to the main hall," said the leading guard coldly.
Before Xiaoxaio could respond, several guards had already moved to subdue her. With a cold snort, Xiaoxaio waved her Iceheart Sword, and a burst of icy sword energy immediately forced the approaching guards back.
"If you want to charge anyone with coercion, you'll have to get past my sword first!" Xiaoxaio said coldly.
However, in front of everyone, a man in black suddenly appeared, holding a letter written by the head of the family, which clearly stated that Xiaoxaio was the thief.
The air swept through like a long river, chilling to the extreme. The guards were shocked by this sudden coldness, freezing in their tracks.
"This is a family matter, there's no need to intervene," Xiaoxaio said in a calm tone, but with an unmistakable authority.
The leading guard furrowed his brows, secretly noting that this young lady was different from usual today. However, he didn't show any signs of it and replied coldly, "The head of the household has ordered that if you don't go on your own, we will have to use force to invite you."
Xiaoxaio Upon hearing this, she knew it was not good, but she also understood that if she really clashed with the family guards, it would only make things worse. She sheathed her Iceheart Sword and calmly said, "In that case, I will go with you."
The guards breathed a sigh of relief and led Xiaoxaio to the main hall. Many family members had already gathered there, all of them focusing their gaze on Xiaoxaio with looks of doubt, condemnation, and incomprehension.
The head of the family sat in the main seat, his face extremely grim. He glanced at Xiaoxaio and then spoke, " Xiaoxaio, the Nine Lives Stone has disappeared. Do you have any involvement in this?"
"Master, the Nine Lives Stone has been a family treasure since ancient times. Why would I need to steal it?" Xiaoxaio replied calmly and firmly.
The master's eyes sharpened. "It is said that on the night of the theft, someone saw you entering the Treasure Pavilion alone. How do you explain this?"
"I did indeed visit the Treasure Pavilion, but that was because I was curious about the legend of the Nine Lives Stone and wanted to learn more. As for the theft, I have no knowledge of it," Xiaoxaio's tone remained calm, but every word came from the heart.
The head of the household fell silent for a moment, then sighed, "In that case, I can only ask you to be careful on your own. Once the Nine Lives Stone is lost, the family will face a huge crisis, so you had better be aware of the consequences."
Xiaoxaio nodded, understanding the hidden meaning in the head of the family's words - it was not just a warning, but also a test of her loyalty as a member of the family.
At that moment, an elder of the family suddenly stood up and stared at Xiaoxaio: " Xiaoxaio, since you insist on your innocence, are you willing to accept the family's judgment to prove your innocence?"
Everyone watched Xiaoxaio nervously, waiting for her answer. Xiaoxaio pondered for a moment, then spoke loudly, "Since everyone doubts me, I will accept the trial to prove my innocence."
The elder smiled slightly and turned to the head of the family, saying, "In that case, please arrange the trial, as the head of the family."
The landlord nodded.
However, Xiaoxaio raised the sword "Iceheart" in her hand, and frost surged on the blade, shining like white snow. "Don't worry, today I won't be troubled by the fate of the family anymore. I have my own way to deal with it."
Elder: This sword possesses powerful ice spells. " Xiaoxaio, all of this is fate's arrangement. You were chosen because you are the most potential person in this family."
Xiaoxaio sneered, "Potential? Perhaps. But I don't need this kind of fate."
Upon finishing her words, Xiaoxaio thrust her sword towards her own heart, and the Iceheart Sword drew a cold light in the air, enveloping the entire room in a chilling aura. Everyone felt a sudden gust of cold wind, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
"Iceheart, may you remain as steadfast as ever in this life and the next," this was Xiaoxaio's final heartfelt wish as the Iceheart Sword pierced her heart.
When the tip of the sword touched her heart, Xiaoxaio felt a sudden chill rising from the depths of her heart. Her vision began to blur, and her consciousness gradually faded. She felt as if her soul was being drawn towards an unknown direction.
At that moment, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the distance. The Nine Lives Stone, stolen by a traitor of the family, emitted a strong light as if sensing Xiaoxaio's vanishing soul.
"Nine Lives Stone, is this your power?" At the edge of consciousness, Xiaoxaio faintly heard an ancient voice speaking to her in a distant space: "You have been chosen, Xiaoxaio, Nine Lives Master. You will have nine chances of reincarnation, each life carrying a different mission."
Xiaoxaio felt her consciousness being pulled by a powerful force, entering a radiant space. Behind her, the land she once called home and the people she once held dear became increasingly blurry, eventually disappearing into the light.
In an instant, everything became silent and quiet, and Xiaoxaio felt like she was floating in an endless void.
