The night was getting darker, and the thick mist sprayed upwards, covering the entire Lingyang City, and the Lingyang City shrouded in mist seemed somewhat desolate for no reason.

Gong Mingze didn't sleep.

He sat on the soft couch in his own room for a long time, twiddled the Dao beads for a long time, and read the Taishang Induction and Qiu Zu's Confession three or four times, but he still felt confused.

In the end, Gong Mingze let out a long breath, slowly opened his cold and narrow eyes, and got down on the couch.

Coming out of the room, Gong Mingze felt a slightly cold wind blowing towards his face. He cleared away the mist in front of him, and went to the place where the prisoners of the Lin family were held quietly by himself.

Not many Nascent Soul cultivators came, and they were all resting cross-legged in the room at the moment, and there were only a few golden pills left to guard the prisoners.

Gong Mingze didn't disturb anyone, and just quietly went to the innermost room where all the prisoners were held.

It was a small room with no windows on all sides, and it was dark and cold.

Gong Mingze's eyesight was excellent, and he could see at a glance that the monster whose upper body looked like Lin Jinyu and whose lower body looked like vines was huddled in the corner, trembling silently.

Gong Mingze was silent for a while, and took out a fluorite from the storage ring.

In an instant, the cold and slightly obscure white light of the fluorite illuminated the entire room.

Lin Jinyu trembled a little stimulated by the light, but when he saw the person clearly through the gap between his fingers, he quickly crawled over again.

Gong Mingze frowned, and a silent wall of air fell, stopping Lin Jinyu a foot away from him.

Feeling Gong Mingze's disgust, Lin Jinyu really hated Shen Qingtang in his heart, but at this moment he forced a smile, raised his head with an innocent expression, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I will not stain your clothes .”

Hearing Lin Jinyu's words, Gong Mingze finally showed a slight emotional fluctuation in his calm and calm eyes.

But soon, he changed back to his original appearance, quietly staring at the ground and looking up at him, Lin Jinyu, who looked humble and flattering, asked coldly, "Are you really not Lin Jinyu?"

Lin Jinyu's face froze slightly, and then he shook his head: "I'm not, but the person who met you back then was indeed me. At that time, I was not as weak as I am now."

"Where's the evidence?" Gong Mingze said indifferently.

Hearing Gong Mingze's indifferent tone, Lin Jinyu unconsciously looked a little embarrassed, but he still managed to smile and said, "I said something to Your Highness, does Your Highness still remember?"

Gong Mingze just looked at him.

"It doesn't matter if your clothes are dirty, it's more important that you live." Lin Jinyu said cautiously.

While speaking, he carefully observed Gong Mingze's expression.

When hearing Lin Jinyu's words, Gong Mingze's pupils shrank slightly, and then there was a long silence.

Lin Jinyu was not sure what Gong Mingze was thinking, and felt cold sweat on his back at the moment, but in order to win for himself, he forced a smile and said, "Just treat it as my own affection, but if your highness didn't come to the Lin family to find me , and why do you wear the mask I made for you?"

After Lin Jinyu said these words, Gong Mingze's cold face finally showed a trace of emotional cracks.

But after seeing Lin Jinyu's expectant and cautious eyes, Gong Mingze still took a step back slowly.

Then he walked away without a word.

Lin Jinyu didn't know what she said wrong, she was stunned for a moment and wanted to rush forward to stop Gong Mingze.

But Gong Mingze has already left.

Lin Jinyu suddenly screamed heart-piercingly.

Not long after, the guards Jin Dan was also alarmed by him, and then there was a burst of whipping, Lin Jinyu's sobs and humble and flattering begging for mercy.

Gong Mingze never appeared again.

·

Even when Gong Mingze came back, his posture was still calm and his back was still straight, but he seemed a little hasty.

But his slightly trembling hands hidden in his sleeves told him that he had fled in despair.

His "Lin Jinyu"...why is it like this?

Gong Mingze couldn't believe it.

If Shen Qingtang seemed to him to be a superficial and scheming vase, then the "Lin Jinyu" he thought of just now was a really despicable person with no bottom line.

Those calculating emotions that couldn't be concealed on his face really made him feel that the world he once had collapsed once more.

Obviously, the former "Lin Jinyu" was so young, he would say such gentle words to him, and his eyes were so clean.

But now, why did it become like this?

Gong Mingze even suspected that this "Lin Jinyu" was a fake.

etc--

Gong Mingze suddenly opened his eyes, remembering what Shen Qingtang said.

He said that Lin Jinyu was reborn through evil methods, but...or maybe that vine-like monster killed Lin Jinyu and took away Lin Jinyu's memory?

Otherwise, no matter what, he couldn't connect the snow-white and beautiful child with innocent eyes like ice and snow with this dirty and scheming monster now.

After a while, Gong Mingze slowly clenched the Dao Bead in his palm, and a faint spiritual energy overflowed from the Dao Bead, gradually smoothing the bruised veins on the back of his hand.

The blood-red strange murderous intent that was about to burst out of his eyes gradually faded with the comfort of the spiritual energy.

Slightly letting out a breath, Gong Mingze made a new decision in his heart.

Originally, he didn't particularly want to go to the Qingyu Sword Sect.

But now, he felt that he had to go.

Now, he would rather that monster kill that beautiful and innocent child and replace him.

I also don't want that monster to be the real Lin Jinyu...

·

Now that Gong Mingze had agreed to go to the Qingyu Sword Sect, Shen Qingtang and Qin Yi stayed in the accompanying brigade.

Originally, Shen Qingtang wanted to take some time to visit his parents, but the golden elixir and Yuanying brought by Gong Mingze surrounded the entire yard like an iron barrel, and he couldn't get out at all.

Shen Qingtang had no choice but to sleep first.

He was indeed tired.

Qin Yi's embrace was warm and wide, leaning on it, Shen Qingtang didn't even have a dream, just fell asleep so comfortably.

It's just that in the middle of the night, Shen Qingtang was suddenly awakened by a shrill cry from outside. He frowned, then slowly supported himself and sat up from Qin Yi's arms.

Qin Yi also quietly opened his eyes at this moment.

Shen Qingtang listened carefully for a while, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Why does it sound like Lin Jinyu's voice?"

Qin Yi's eyes moved, and he also began to listen.

After listening, he frowned and said, "It seems to be him."

Shen Qingtang's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately got out of bed and said, "No, I'm going to have a look."

"What are you going to see him for?" Qin Yi was a little puzzled.

Shen Qingtang thought to himself, what if those people injured and disabled Lin Jinyu, but instead aroused Gong Mingze's sympathy?

Before Lin Jinyu was completely ruined, he didn't want to make any mistakes, or let Lin Jinyu escape by death like last time.

However, these things are a bit complicated to explain, so Shen Qingtang had no choice but to say first: "I'll go and see, it won't be good if someone is killed."

Qin Yi frowned calmly, feeling that Shen Qingtang's thoughts were very strange, but seeing Shen Qingtang's serious expression, he didn't say much, just said: "Then I'll go with you."

Shen Qingtang's smile brightened suddenly, and she said cheerfully, "Okay."

·

Shen Qingtang did not expect that when he came out with Qin Yi, he ran into Gong Mingze who was dancing a sword in the courtyard.

At that time, Gong Mingze had just finished using the powerful blue dragon into the sea, even if he didn't pour spiritual power into the sword, the vigorous and sharp sword energy still made people daunting.

Seeing the two people appearing, Gong Mingze withdrew his sword, frowned slightly, and said coldly without turning his head, "Want to leave?"

Shen Qingtang: "Of course not, I just heard someone crying, so I came out to have a look."

Of course Gong Mingze knew who Shen Qingtang was talking about. At this moment, he looked back at Shen Qingtang with a cold look in his eyes: "This kind of thing is not your business, go back."

Shen Qingtang was silent for a moment: "Your Highness, can I go and see Lin Jinyu?"

Hearing Shen Qingtang's words, Gong Mingze's expression changed slightly: "What do you want to do?"

Shen Qingtang smiled helplessly: "Your Highness, don't get me wrong, I didn't intend to kill people to silence my mouth, but this Lin Jinyu is very cunning, and he escaped from my hands once before, and I'm afraid he will repeat his tricks."

Gong Mingze finally turned around, his eyes became colder and colder: "Death escape? Did you kill your fellow disciple?"

Shen Qingtang knew that Gong Mingze would say that for a long time. At this moment, he was silent for a moment, and finally took out a photo stone unhurriedly, and handed it to Gong Mingze, "Your Highness will know the truth at a glance."

In this photo stone is the image of Lin Jinyu who wanted to kill Shen Qingtang at the Qingyu Sword Sect, but was killed by Shen Qingtang.

In the past, Lin Jinyu's identity as an evil cultivator hadn't been exposed, and Shen Qingtang would not have shown this photo unless she had to - after all, it doesn't make sense to kill a fellow sect, even if that fellow sect wanted to kill you.

But if the evil cultivator is killed, the nature is completely different.

Originally, Shen Qingtang planned to take out the things in the photo stone after going to the Qingyu Sword Sect to thoroughly confirm Lin Jinyu's identity, and hammered him to death with one blow.

That way, even if Gong Mingze wants to protect someone, he must first destroy Lin Jinyu's foundation, otherwise Gong Mingze himself will be backlashed.

But now, in order to avoid accidents, he can only take it out to win the trust of Gong Mingze.

Gong Mingze took the picture stone over.

After briefly browsing the contents of the photo stone, Gong Mingze's expression turned cold.

For so many years, he has read countless people.

If Lin Jinyu in this picture stone is really Lin Jinyu, then...the demeanor and details are exactly the same as that monster.

The picture in the photo stone cannot be faked, that place is indeed the Qingyu Sword Sect, and Lin Jinyu is also wearing a disciple's uniform.

Gong Mingze clenched the photo stone in his palm, and his heart sank more and more.

Shen Qingtang was observing the subtle changes in Gong Mingze's mood. At this moment, his eyes moved, and he said, "Then Lin Jinyu wanted to have a relationship with His Highness a few times, is there any old relationship with His Highness?"

Gong Mingze raised his eyes suddenly, and looked at Shen Qingtang coldly.

Shen Qingtang's expression was calm, and he looked at Gong Mingze without any fear, his eyes were extremely clear.

"If this is the case, then Your Highness should act impartially. After all, His Majesty has always hated evil cultivators who harm others. Your Highness can only demonstrate your wisdom and justice if you act impartially, isn't it?"

Gong Mingze stared at Shen Qingtang coldly for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
