Villain: At the beginning, my beautiful master molested me!

The wooden door was opened, and Gu Linger came in with her nose pinched. She couldn't help but frown.

The cage that held the prisoners was actually made of wood, and due to moisture, much of the wood had become moldy and deformed.

Gu Linger looked around again and saw that most of the prisoners were thin and weak.

Perhaps they were locked up here because they were too weak and didn't even have the strength to break free from the wooden door.

Gu Linger fixed her gaze on Ma Zi again. He had a blank expression on his face and seemed to be still in a daze.

There was collapsed straw under his butt, and there were water stains on the wall that had not yet dried up.

It seems that the jailer poured cold water on him in an attempt to regain consciousness.

"Are you Ma Zi, the man who killed Hu Hansan in the inn in the suburbs today?" Gu Linger asked.

Ma Zi didn't say anything. He spread his hands out with his palms facing up on the ground.

"Are you really scared to the point of distraction? Or are you too happy and your brain is stimulated?" Gu Linger asked puzzled.

Gu Linger then took out a pill from the ring and pinched it between her thumb and middle finger.

With a strong crush, the pill was crushed into powder.

Gu Linger sprinkled the powder on Ma Zi's face, and the powder seeped into his body.

"This is a mid-grade soul-restoring pill. I hope you don't waste my pill." Gu Linger said.

Although her storage bag contained several hundred top-grade pills given to her by Chen Yu, she did not want to waste a single pill for no reason.

The effect of the soul-restoring pill was felt quickly. After a while, Ma Zi's eyes gradually became clear and he regained consciousness.

When Ma Zi woke up, he was frightened by the strange woman in front of him.

"Who are you!" Ma Zi shouted excitedly.

Gu Linger frowned again, seemingly annoyed by Ma Zi's loud tone.

Without saying anything, she sprinkled different powder on his face.

That is Zhenhunsan, a kind of sedative powder.

The moment he came into contact with the powder, Ma Zi calmed down.

He suddenly hugged his head and scratched his hair hard.

"Sorry, I was too excited just now. I apologize for my rudeness." Ma Zi said weakly.

It seemed that the effect of the sedative made him realize that he was still a man who had not eaten much and was physically tired.

A look of guilt appeared on Ma Zi's face, and Gu Linger's face returned to calmness again.

Rather than Ma Zi's apology, she was more concerned about the moldy wooden boards and the damp smell of the wet haystack.

She could block her sense of taste, but the thought of having to step on such a dirty floor made her feel nauseous.

If she could, she wanted to leave this disgusting cell the next second.

"No, I just want to ask about things in the inn." Gu Linger said.

"What's going on at the inn?" Ma Zi's expression became a little complicated.

"I want you to describe what happened to you in as much detail as possible. Of course, there will be a considerable reward afterwards."

Gu Linger took out a bag of gold coins and threw it casually in a corner.

The heavy gold coins fell to the ground with a dull sound, attracting the attention of the prisoners in the cell.

"Reward? I've already been put in jail, what's the point of asking for money?"

Ma Zi's words caused the surrounding prisoners to whisper, and even the prisoners at the end of the road looked over.

Ma Zi swallowed his saliva. Although those gold coins were indeed very attractive, he was a dying man.

He knew that he would have no use for the gold coins because he would never be able to leave the prison alive.

"Not just money, I can get you out of prison. I have already bribed the jailer here." Gu Linger continued.

Ma Zi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Gu Linger seemed to have guessed that he would have such a reaction and looked at him as if it was nothing new.

She took out the key in her hand and waved it in front of Ma Zi. "Of course it's real."

"Just tell me who did those charred corpses."

Gu Linger kicked the bag of gold coins in the corner back and forth, and soon it was kicked in front of Ma Zi.

Ma Zi could see the bag as soon as he lowered his head, and there were gold coins scattered around the bag.

"But I can't do that, he is my benefactor..."

Ma Zi stared at the gold coins in a daze and said casually.

He seemed to realize something and quickly shut his mouth.

But his eyes were still fixed on the bag of gold coins, and his hands began to grab the bag in front of him uncontrollably.

"I want you to tell it yourself. If you don't, I won't let you leave this prison."

Gu Linger stepped on the bag and dragged it under her feet.

Ma Zi could only watch the bag of gold coins go away from her.

"No, no, I have to go out. I have a sister at home." Ma Zi pleaded to Gu Linger.

"What does this have to do with me? There is no such thing as a free lunch."

Gu Linger's indifferent tone came, she looked at the pockmarked man at her feet and just thought he was funny from beginning to end.

"Give me the news and I'll let you out."

"If you can't do this, why should I let you out?"

"Covering up a murderer? There's no benefit at all. Why do you think I'm doing this?"

Gu Linger's eyes were full of contempt. As she spoke, Ma Zi beside her fell silent.

He also couldn't figure out why Gu Linger helped him unconditionally. Not everyone would be as kind as Lin Feng.

Thinking of this, Ma Zi suddenly felt something was wrong.

He thought: Good intentions? Is Lin Feng kind-hearted? He just wants to kill Hu Hansan.

Even without my accusation, he would have killed Hu Hansan and his followers.

Ma Zi felt that he had found the answer. He nodded as if he had suddenly realized something and muttered.

"That's it. It must be like this."

Gu Linger didn't care what Ma Zi was mumbling, she just continued speaking.

"Just think about it, your sister is starving and suffering at home, and you can't do anything in prison."

"What would happen to your sister if you died?"

The more he talked, the more miserable Ma Zi felt.

When he mentioned his sister, the sadness on his face became more serious.

Maybe it touched Ma Zi's heart, or maybe he convinced himself.

After a moment, Ma Zi told him everything that had happened to him.

From how Hu Hansan was looking for trouble, to how the masked man knocked Hu Hansan out and killed his brothers, to how the masked man asked Ma Zi to kill Hu Hansan.

Ma Zi spoke in great detail, but Gu Linger's face darkened.

A masked man? Colluding with a fox demon? Slaughtering mortals without a realm?

According to the description, isn't the martial art this man is using the Nine Yang Divine Art that Lin Feng used in the ring?

The steam rising from the surrounding area has reached the effect of boiling the tavern. Isn't this his spiritual skill, the fire?

But Gu Linger really couldn't associate these images with Lin Feng.

Whether it is the Lin Feng she meets now or the future Lin Feng in her memory, they are all arrogant, lucky, philandering, and lusty men.

He's the kind of idiot who doesn't even dare to take off his pants when the arrow is on the string and has to be shot!

As a result, in her previous life, although she and her two senior sisters were his so-called companions, they actually had no intimate behavior with him at all.

Not to mention that, she even doubted whether he had any sausages at all.

After Ma Zi finished telling the whole story, Gu Linger kicked the gold bag at her feet towards Ma Zi.

Before leaving, she looked gloomy and said to the pockmarked man in the cell:

"In fact, I am a cultivator. I already know what you are thinking."

"Then why do you force me to say it?"

Ma Zi's voice echoed from the cell, and Gu Linger was no longer in the dark corridor.

Ma Zi clenched his fists unwillingly, he was ashamed and angry that Gu Linger was teasing him.

But this humiliation was acceptable to him.

He suddenly felt somewhat fortunate that Gu Linger had humiliated him.

He could survive and get so much money just by betraying the information of the masked man.

He looked towards the door and saw that the wooden door of the prison was not closed by Gu Linger.

He took up the bag of gold coins and hurriedly escaped from the prison without even having time to pick up those that had fallen.

As the prisoners watched him escape, they actually began shouting loudly, and the entire prison was filled with the prisoners' shouting.

"Pockmarked man ran away! Pockmarked man ran away!"

Those people were so thin that they couldn't make any loud noise, but even so, they still shouted at the top of their lungs.

The screams attracted the jailers, and on their way they ran into the escaping Ma Zi.

"There's a fugitive! Come on, help me catch him!" the jailer shouted to the people behind him.

When he heard that they were coming to arrest him, Ma Zi panicked, grabbed the gold bag tightly and ran away.

At first he was faster than the jailers, but he didn't know why.

It might be because of the physical exhaustion, or it might be because something had been done to the gold bag.

Ma Zi found that the gold bag was getting heavier and heavier.

It was obvious that he could escape by throwing away the gold bag, but he still refused to let go.

Ma Zi was stabbed to death by the guards who chased after him.

Gu Linger had left long ago, seemingly because she was too anxious, or perhaps she felt that this matter was not that important.

When she left the prison, she forgot to tell the jailer about Ma Zi.

And she doesn't have any ability to read other people's minds.

Having said that, not everyone can learn as many skills as Chen Yu.

The only thing she knew was the ability to search someone's soul after killing them.
