As soon as Lao He finished speaking, Qin Zhen suddenly took out her bottle of oyster sauce and asked with a smile, "I can't beat you, but can't I feed you a few mouthfuls of oyster sauce?"

"You!" Lao He had never expected that what Qin Zhen meant by "whether he was okay" was actually this. He was at a loss for words for a moment, and after a long while he managed to utter, "Despicable and shameless!"

Qin Zhen did not refute after hearing this, but accepted it calmly: "Well, although I am despicable, it is also because you, Lao He, are soft-hearted and kind-hearted. Even though you have practiced for thousands of years, you still remember the feelings of the same race, so I can succeed."

Old He never thought that Qin Zhen would say that, and he just froze in place.

No, why did he feel a little happy after hearing this?

Is he broken?

Qin Zhen didn't give him a chance to think carefully. She was so arrogant just now, but now she lowered her attitude and said sincerely: "Please help me."

Seeing this, Lao He felt very complicated.

He first looked around warily, and then said to Qin Zhen: "This is not the place to talk, follow me."

After Lao He finished speaking, he took Qin Zhen and turned into an even more deserted alley.

Only when he returned to a courtyard with a barrier did Lao He breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let's talk here. It's not safe outside."

"It seems that you really know something." When Qin Zhen saw Lao He acting like this, she knew that she had found the right person.

Old He did not hide anything anymore. He came straight to the point and came up with a shocking conclusion: "I suspect this matter is related to the city lord."

"City Lord? The City Lord of Baiye City?" Qin Zhen had never expected that she would hear such shocking content.

She originally just wanted to get some information and clues from Lao He, so how come she bypassed all the steps and got the answer to the question directly?

"Yes." Lao He knew that a stranger like Qin Zhen definitely didn't understand the situation in Baiye City, so he used his magic to unfold a water mirror in front of Qin Zhen.

The ripples dissipated, and the image of a middle-aged man with a majestic aura emerged.

"This is the Lord of Baiye City, Yunya."

Cloud cliff, cloud cliff...

This name sounds familiar.

Ah, isn't this the original heroine's adoptive father! ?

She remembered that in the original novel, it was Yun Ya who adopted the heroine Su Rui.

Because Su Rui resembles his deceased daughter, Yun Ya dotes on her.

Those were the happiest years of Su Rui's life, but unfortunately the good times didn't last long.

A few years after adopting Su Rui, the demons suddenly returned and all the people in the city were slaughtered. Yun Ya died defending the city. Only the heroine Su Rui was saved by her Qinghe Jianzun and brought back to Tianyan Sect.

However, this happened ten years later, the current heroine hasn't been born yet, and her background is mysterious in the original book.

Qin Zhen couldn't do anything she wanted.

As for Yun Ya… in the original book, he died defending the city, and seemed like a positive character, but according to Lao He, he was related to the disappearance of a woman in the city?

"When you say 'related', do you mean he was the one who did it?" Qin Zhen went straight to the point.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in practicing Tai Chi any further.

So Lao He nodded without thinking: "Yes, even if he didn't do it himself, he must have something to do with it."

"What evidence do you have?"

After a brief silence, Old He finally took out a gray-looking pearl from the spittoon in the room and handed it to Qin Zhen.

"!!!"

Before Qin Zhen's consciousness could react, her body instinctively wanted to throw away the dirty stuff she had taken out of the spittoon.

"I'll go, hold it steady!"

Upon seeing this, Lao He screamed and slid to his knees in front of Qin Zhen. He raised his hands high, wanting to catch the pearls in Qin Zhen's hand, for fear that Qin Zhen would break them.

Fortunately, Qin Zhen reacted very quickly. Before Lao He could take the pearl, she had already held it firmly.

And just as she held it firmly, a surge of demonic power swept over like a tide.

At the same time, the pearls that were just gray suddenly burst into a lavender light.

The light was so dazzling that Qin Zhen felt a burning pain in her eyes after just a glance.

This is not a pearl at all, it is clearly a thousand-year-old demon pill!

She finally understood why she couldn't sense any evil spirit from Lao He.

Aside from the fact that Lao He's demonic power was so strong that he could hide it, the more important thing was that his demon pill was not in his body.

Who would have thought that the thousand-year-old demon pill would be hidden in a small spittoon by Lao He.

And feeling the wet, sticky and thick touch on her hands, Qin Zhen's expression was a little indescribable for a moment. She could only pray silently in her heart that the spittoon was filled with only water, or some tree sap or mucus that could seal the evil spirit.

But the situation is very urgent now, and Qin Zhen doesn't have time to worry about these things.

I could only endure this disgusting slippery feeling and asked, "What do you mean by giving me your demon pill?"

The demon pill was filled with Lao He's aura, and it was obviously not someone else's.

Lao He's expression was more serious than ever before. "I can't produce any concrete evidence. What I'm going to say next may just be my one-sided statement to you. It may even be a little absurd, but - I hope you can believe everything I'm going to say next. I swear on my demon pill that I won't tell a single lie."

The demon pill is different from the golden pill of the cultivator.

Not only does it possess all the abilities of the demon race, but if it loses it, it will not only become a mortal creature without intelligence, but will also die soon.

"Tell me."

Qin Zhen did not express her opinion, but her expression became more serious.

"I suspect that the disappearance of girls did not just happen during this period, but it is just too concentrated now that it has attracted people's attention."

Qin Zhen didn't say anything, but she didn't mean to interrupt Lao He either.

Lao He knew that this meant for him to continue speaking.

"Since Yun Ya became the city lord, the first person who disappeared, at least the first person I know of, was actually his wife. Although Yun Ya has always claimed that his wife died of illness, I know that this is not the case at all."

When he said this, a hint of hatred appeared in Lao He's eyes.

"What's that like?"

Lao He opened his mouth, as if thinking about where to start.

In the end, he could only sigh deeply and resigned himself to his fate and replied, "Because, his wife is my daughter."

"!"

This is an unexpected answer.

"Is she also... a demon?" Qin Zhen asked.

Lao He didn't mean to hide it: "Yes, she is also a demon."

"Does Yun Ya know her true identity?"
