Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

Wen Chaoyu moved a wicker chair and lay down in the yard basking in the sun.

The disciples who were new to Jingyue Peak gathered around her, all talking and laughing happily, with high spirits, serving tea and pressing legs, serving Wen Zhaoyu very attentively.

"Uncle Wen's throwing knives have never failed, so let's open our eyes by playing it a few more times?"

"Yes, everyone in our palace uses swords, but no one uses knives, let alone flying knives!"

"There's a bird's nest in that tree, Mr. Wen, hurry up and knock it down, there might be bird eggs!"

……

Ever since Wen Zhaoyu had nothing to do and showed her hands yesterday, her disciples have been pestering her all the time, clamoring for her to perform throwing knives, Wen Zhaoyu was harassed by them, and played with a group of juniors all night last night, Unexpectedly, the disciples were so interested in flying knives, and even today they are still surrounding her and not going anywhere.

Wen Chaoyu's ears were almost cocooned from the noise, and he was about to find a way to go back to the room to avoid it, when he got up, he suddenly saw Man Jiangxue coming from the maple forest, so he flew towards her and asked: " I'm getting annoyed to death by those brats, when will you let me go!"

As soon as Man Jiangxue came, the disciples immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and ran away without seeing half of them.Man Jiangxue went up the steps, entered Shen Xing Hall, and said: "The legs are growing on your body, so you can walk if you want."

Wen Chaoyu looked at her suspiciously: "Really?"

"What are you doing to lie to you?" Man Jiangxue lifted the curtain, saw that there was no one in the bedroom, and turned out again.

Wen Chaoyu followed behind her, holding hands and said, "Are you really willing to let me go?"

"It's nothing for you anymore, you can stay as you like." Man Jiangxue pushed Yin Qiu's door open and glanced inside.

"Then you didn't say it earlier!" Wen Chaoyu said angrily, "I'm leaving now!"

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Man Jiangxue frowned, turned around and asked, "Where's Xiaoqiu?"

"I didn't see her come back," Wen Zhaoyu said, "Didn't she go to the Medical Pavilion to see Lu Huaiwei?"

Man Jiangxue looked at the sky and said, "I went at noon, it's almost evening, and you haven't come back?"

"You ask me who am I asking?" Wen Chaoyu spread his hands, "You talked with Yijun for so long in Mingguang Palace, but she didn't come to you?"

Man Jiangxue shook her head, walked back to Shen Xingdian, Wen Zhaoyu still followed her, thought for a while and said: "It's not that Lu Huaiwei's condition is not good, why don't you go and have a look?"

Man Jiangxue stood there for a while, and for some reason, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in her heart. She was about to respond to Wen Zhaoyu, when she saw Bai Ling hurried across the courtyard and entered the porch, and asked, "Mr. Uncle, is Xiao Qiu back?"

Man Jiangxue couldn't help but tense, and asked, "Is she not in the Medical Pavilion?"

Bai Ling's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "I just came from the Medical Pavilion, Meng Jing said that she and Senior Sister Ye had already left, and told me to come to Jingyue Peak to see if Xiaoqiu came back, this..."

"Leaving already?" Wen Zhaoyu quickly sensed something was wrong, "Where did they go?"

Bai Ling stared blankly at Man Jiangxue: "I don't know..."

Wen Zhaoyu asked again: "Is Ye Zhilan in Mingguang Palace?"

Bai Ling said: "No, I reported to Senior Sister Ji in the Mingguang Hall before I went to the Medical Pavilion, and I didn't see Senior Sister Ye."

Oops!Wen Chaoyu quickly looked at Man Jiangxue, and lost his voice: "Is Ye Zhilan—"

Before she could finish her words, Man Jiangxue had already lifted her legs and descended the steps. She used lightness kung fu to fly to the direction of Mingguang Palace without taking two steps. Bai Ling and Wen Chaoyu looked at each other, and immediately caught up with Man Jiangxue. Following footsteps, the three of them arrived at the Mingguang Hall, only Xie Yijun and Ji Wanshu were inside, and Ye Zhilan and Yin Qiu were nowhere to be seen.

"Jiang Xue?" Xie Yijun saw the dignified expressions of these three people, and they were in a hurry, so he asked, "Are you..."

Bai Ling asked anxiously: "Where are Senior Sister Ye and Xiao Qiu? Have you ever met them?"

Xie Yijun looked bewildered, and glanced at Ji Wanshu: "Didn't they both go to the Medical Pavilion to visit Huaiwei?"

"Meng Jing said that Xiaoqiu and Senior Sister Ye left together," Bai Ling said, "There is no one in Jingyue Peak, nor here. It has been several hours. Master, something is wrong!"

Xie Yijun's eyes flashed, and before he could reply, Man Jiangxue flew out again without saying a word, not knowing where he was going, everyone was worried at this moment, Xie Yijun's expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "Send the order immediately, hurry up Find where Zhilan and Yin Qiu are!"

Bai Ling took the order and immediately ordered his disciples to start looking for her. Ji Wanshu frowned and ran out of the hall. Wen Zhaoyu immediately chased after her figure when she saw this, and the two never touched each other. Arriving at Ye Zhilan's residence, Man Jiangxue just walked out of the house quickly, holding a letter in his hand.

"Uncle!" Ji Wanshu asked quickly, "Have you seen anyone?"

Man Jiangxue's brows were cold, and there was a strong killing intent in her eyes. She didn't say anything, just stuffed the letter into Ji Wanshu's arms, and left here without a word.

Ji Wanshu quickly unfolded the crumpled letter, only to see a few large characters written on it - see you at the top of Xifeng Mountain at noon tomorrow.

·

When Yin Qiu woke up, it was already dark outside the window.

Perhaps because of the sunny days, there was a bright moon tonight, hanging like a hook in the clear night sky, which happened to be framed by the skylight on the wall.

Yin Qiu's whole body was sore, her eyelids were heavy, and she couldn't open her eyes. Lying on the cold ground, she stared at the moon motionless for a while, and when she wanted to sit up, she found that her hands and feet were bound and thick The twisted hemp rope was looped around her neck, and the other end of the rope was tied to the wall beside her, confining her in an extremely narrow range.

where is this?

Yin Qiu woke up completely, struggled to sit up quickly, and leaned against the wall to look around.

There was only a dimly lit oil lamp in the room, which was of little use, not as bright as the moonlight.Looking up, there is nothing else in this place except a table and chairs. It is neither like a firewood house nor a cellar. In short, it is very simple, but also very quiet. Except for the whistling wind that hovers outside, you can hardly hear anything else. There is no sound, and I can't feel the existence of other people, as if this corner is some kind of deserted island isolated from the world, and only Yin Qiu is alone.

The biting cold air seeped out from the ground, and then spread to the whole body through the clothing material. Yin Qiu was only wearing a thin dress, which could not keep out the cold at all. She was shivering from the cold, her lips and teeth were trembling, and Gu Pan heard a sudden sound coming from outside. There was a sound of steady footsteps, from far to near, and soon stopped at the door.

Yin Qiu frowned, staring at that place. The next moment, the door was pushed open, and a familiar figure walked in slowly with a food box.

Their eyes collided, and the two stared at each other for a while, Ye Zhilan closed the door with her backhand, moved her legs without saying a word, and squatted down in front of Yin Qiu.

Seeing that Yin Qiu was pale and shivering from the cold, Ye Zhilan looked at her for a while, took off her outer robe and wrapped Yin Qiu tightly, and poured a bowl of water to Yin Qiu's lips.

Yin Qiu glanced at her, said nothing, and lowered his head to drink the bowl of water.

Ye Zhilan took out another bowl of porridge and two dishes of light side dishes. She didn't speak, but just asked Yin Qiu's opinion with her eyes.Yin Qiu nodded slightly, and Ye Zhilan started feeding her again. The two of them kept silent tacitly. Put everything back in the food box.

After drinking water, eating again, and adding clothes to her body, Yin Qiu felt a lot better and breathed a long sigh of relief. She looked at Ye Zhilan with complicated eyes, and there were many things she wanted to ask in her heart, but she didn't know where to start. He asked.

Even though he has been caught here and saw Ye Zhilan with his own eyes, Yin Qiu is still in a dream and can't believe it is real.

She really didn't expect Ye Zhilan to be Xiao Qi.

After all, a large part of the reason why Ye Zhilan was imprisoned in the torture hall was because she handled the formation of the disciples of the dark guards, so Yin Qiu and the others only suspected that she might be the mastermind behind the disciples of the dark guards, and almost never Connected her with Xiao Qi.

You know, Xiao Qi expected that the disciples of the dark guards would attack Yin Qiu, and specifically asked Wen Chaoyu to go to Weicheng to protect Yin Qiu. This proves that Xiao Qi and the people behind the disciples of the dark guards are not the same group, and they may even be standing on the sidelines. On the opposite side, and Ye Zhilan was tainted with such suspicions, so even Man Jiangxue never thought that she would be Xiaoqi.

But it turned out to be her.

Could it be that the mastermind behind Xiaoqi and the disciple of the dark guard is the same person?But isn't this a contradiction?She wants to send people to kill Yin Qiu, but also to save Yin Qiu, what's the reason?

The remaining body temperature on the robe subsided quickly, and Yin Qiu began to feel cold again. She was silent, but Ye Zhilan finally said: "Be patient, I can't untie you, I can only lock you up In this place, by tomorrow, you will be able to see Man Jiangxue."

Yin Qiu's heart was heavy, and he asked, "What are you going to do?"

Ye Zhilan said, "Let's end it."

Yin Qiu frowned, and said after a while: "Xi Ling's demise was not because of my uncle's refusal to make a marriage. Mu De was already executed by King Yongye. You can't blame all these crimes on my uncle."

Ye Zhilan chuckled: "I know," she said with a cool look in her eyes, but her tone was very relaxed, "worry about yourself first."

"You know?" Yin Qiu ignored the second half of her sentence and asked unexpectedly, "What do you know?"

Ye Zhilan dragged the wooden chair to Yin Qiu's side, sat down and said, "I have never wanted to deal with Man Jiangxue for the sake of national hatred and family hatred. I know what you just said."

Yin Qiu was surprised: "Then why do you still have to deal with the uncle?"

Ye Zhilan leaned back in her chair with a lazy posture. She looked at Yin Qiu and said, "I don't want to answer this question for the time being. By tomorrow, you may die, or you may survive by luck. I am the same, so this is the last time for you and me." If you have a chance to talk, if you don't understand anything, I can tell you everything right now."

Hearing her words, Yin Qiu also had a premonition that there would be a bloody storm tomorrow. Her heart sank slightly, her expression was solemn, but she also tried her best to restrain the anxiety in her heart, and said, "Well, apart from why you are dealing with the uncle, what else will you do?" Can you answer the question truthfully?"

Ye Zhilan nodded.

Yin Qiu straightened out his thoughts and asked, "That year when I was robbed to the main altar of the Ziwei Sect, you gave Wen Zhaoyu the mask. How did you get the mask material?"

Ye Zhilan said: "It's very simple. Deputy Elder Li is addicted to alcohol. He poured him a few catties of spirits, and he asked about everything. How to open the darkroom mechanism where the materials are placed was told by him himself after drinking. The old man drunk I can't remember anything after being drunk, not to mention that I planned this matter long ago, and it wasn't just a temporary idea in the year you were taken away. After a long time, he will not be able to remember anything, otherwise I would be in the palace. And how to delve into the disguise technique? Naturally, I already knew how to steal mask materials many years ago."

It's no wonder that she was able to do this matter impeccably. It turns out that she already knew how to open the darkroom mechanism.

"What about Senior Sister Lu?" Yin Qiu asked again, "Is it your fault that she fainted in the soup room?"

Ye Zhilan laughed: "That's right," she brushed off her skirt, and said calmly, "I made her go to the soup room to take a bath, and I was the one who knocked her out, including when she was beaten by Qin Zheng on the way back to the palace." Cheng was seriously injured, and I asked Nangong Min to order Qin Zheng to do this. Nangong Min had long wanted to take you back to the Ziwei Sect, and we had discussed the plan early in the morning. Huaiwei is in charge of extra-uterine affairs and has been in various states all year round. Walking around the city, and a disciple of Wuhui Peak, if I want to find a scapegoat, she is undoubtedly an excellent candidate, don't you all believe it?"

That is to say, only Nangong Min and Qin Zheng knew who she was in the Ziwei Sect from the beginning to the end, and even Wen Chaoyu always thought that Xiaoqi was Lu Huaiwei.

Seeing her smiling, Yin Qiu couldn't help being a little angry: "Despicable, Senior Sister Lu was killed by you, and her life is in danger, can you still laugh?"

"Who hasn't done such things as committing suicide?" Ye Zhilan smiled unabated, she pulled her collar suddenly, revealing the scar on her heart, and said, "I have tried to die before, such as hanging myself, throwing myself into a river, But I have done everything that can end my life, so what is so terrible about committing suicide?"

Yin Qiu glanced at the scar, and said a little bluntly: "I don't know what you have experienced, so I can't judge rashly, but Senior Sister Lu is innocent. You have caused her to be like that, don't you feel any guilt at all?" ?”

Ye Zhilan was silent: "I don't have a heart," she raised her hand to pull back the collar, and said in a calm tone, "My heart has been rotten a long time ago, it was rotten many years ago."

Yin Qiu looked at her and said nothing.

"If people want to live without pain, they cannot have a conscience," Ye Zhilan said, "Only by destroying humanity can they be invulnerable to swords and guns, can they be so ruthless that they will use any means for their ends. You are still young, and you have not experienced pain in the true sense. , you won't understand."

Yin Qiu lowered her brows, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I don't want to understand either." She took a deep breath and continued to ask, "What about Ding Lianzhen? You have been staying in the palace, and you can't leave the headmaster's sight. Where did you find the time to go to Tianchi to meet her?"

"I don't have to hang around Xie Yijun all the time," Ye Zhilan said, "The elder sister of the palace gate is responsible for so many things. I have to personally confirm and handle all aspects. Xie Yijun accepted me As an apprentice, I subtly gave her a fixed impression, that is, I spend a few days every month to go to Shangyuan City to watch the disciples buy the items needed in the palace, I deal with the merchants, and I settle the money If I change someone, there may be someone like Ding Lianzhen who is full of selfish money, so if I want to leave the palace, Xie Yijun will not have the slightest suspicion. Besides, I just find some excuses at will, how can she not agree? ? After all, Ding Lian really stayed in Tianchi for more than a year, and I don’t always go to see her, only three times in total.”

"Three times?" Yin Qiu pondered for a while, puzzled, "Maybe you don't go to Tianchi many times, what about the refugees in Yao Dingcheng? You let Ding Lian really poison me, and you let her stare at Liu Ba to poison the refugees." Du, you should have been there in person at that time, so how can this be explained?"

"That's easy to explain," Ye Zhilan said with a generous smile, looking at Yin Qiu with interest, "Don't forget, since the snow disasters in various places have spawned refugees, I have also gone down the mountain and have not stayed in the palace all the time." inside."

Brocade!Yin Qiu suddenly remembered, and suddenly realized: "You went to Jincheng and stayed in Jincheng for a month. During this month, you can go anywhere you want, or you can disguise yourself as Senior Sister Lu to instigate Ding Lian is really poisoned."

"Exactly," Ye Zhilan said, "I approached that Mr. Ya from Zhengyatang with Huaiwei's face on it, and asked him to kill those refugees for the Ziwei Sect with the title deed from Duan's Zhuangzi. In fact, the title deed was fake. Yes, but he didn't know until he died, isn't it very sad? And the man Liu Ba saw after being poisoned was also pretended by Ding Lianzhen. In short, even if these things are found out by you, it is Huai Wei's business , I can’t get it out of my head.”

Yin Qiu was silent for a while: "However, Ding Lian stays in the station every day, and also has contact with Senior Sister Lu every day. Could it be that she hasn't noticed anything weird at all?"

"Of course she won't notice," Ye Zhilan said, "First of all, Huai Wei has no friendship with the real Cheng Xiu. She and Ding Lianzhen don't meet every day at the inn. Huai Wei is just out of pity for Cheng Xiucai. Ken transferred her to work in the state city, and I made an agreement with Ding Lianzhen early in the morning. In order to prevent people from being traced in the future, I can't take the initiative to send her to any state city. What I have to do is for outsiders to see. She has to do it herself. Ask Huai Wei, and Huai Wei has always been kind, she will not refuse."

"So in Ding Lianzhen's eyes, it is inevitable for Huai Wei to agree to her, but in Huai Wei's eyes, Cheng Xiu's life is miserable and she needs something from her. The two perform their duties and have no relationship at all. And Ding Lian really emphasized that no matter at any time she can't show that she has a relationship with me, I can only go to her, she can't come to me, even if we get along in private, we must abide by this rule."

When Ye Zhilan said this, her smile was mixed with a bit of disdain: "It's ridiculous, isn't it? She has become like a ghost and is greedy for life and afraid of death. Naturally, she obeys me and is afraid that I will kill her, so Even if we have some interaction with Huai Wei on weekdays, she will only think that I am deliberately pretending to be polite to her. Besides, Huai Wei never stays in any state city for a long time, and the two of them meet very rarely, so Ding Lian is really basic. There will be no suspicion, understand?"

She grasped Ding Lianzhen's fear of her, and only used some verbal coaxing to convince Ding Lianzhen, and she did not dare to disobey her at all. In this way, Ding Lianzhen listened to her and So she just nestled in the boiler room all day long and didn't have any contact with outsiders. Even if she met Lu Huaiwei, Ding Lianzhen didn't dare to reveal anything.

Yin Qiu's back felt cold when he heard it, and he could only sigh: "You are very skilled."

"A slut like her doesn't deserve to be treated kindly," Ye Zhilan's tone was cold, but she quickly calmed down, "Just as you have already fallen into my hands, I am willing to feed you, drink water and eat, and give you clothes. That's the difference between you and her, and I'm not impersonal."

Then do I have to thank you?Yin Qiu secretly slandered, but maintained a calm face, and said: "The flute player I met on the way to Yunjian City, is it you?"

Ye Zhilan said: "Yes, I wanted to try Gu poison to see if it would be successful. After the trial, I went back to Jincheng to meet Wen Chaoyu, and then went to Weicheng."

Yin Qiu said: "Then you must know who the other murderer who destroyed Ruyi Gate is, right?"

"Of course I know," Ye Zhilan said, "but I can't tell you who he is right now. After all, whether I will die tomorrow or not is not certain."

Yin Qiu adjusted his sitting posture and asked in confusion, "Why can't you tell me? Even if you survive tomorrow, you are not the same as him, so will he help you?"

"Not only will he not help me, but he will try to kill me," Ye Zhilan smiled contemptuously, "he will naturally be worried that I will leak him out, but if I can win a way out, I can make a deal with him. The day is far from over."

"According to what you said, he didn't know you existed?" Yin Qiu tried his best to keep the Lingtai clear, "Then why didn't you connect with him earlier?"

"He really doesn't know that I exist, he doesn't even know that his dream is gone," Ye Zhilan said, "This person has done evil things, and he thinks he can hide it from the world, but he doesn't think his crimes have long been covered by me and Meng." Wugui has seen it, if I don't hide it from him, he will definitely kill me and silence me, he will never let me stay in Yunhua Palace, everyone is not a good person, unless the right time, it is absolutely impossible to join forces easily."

Yin Qiu said: "What about the disciples of the dark guard? Since you are Xiaoqi, you are not the mastermind behind the disciples of the dark guard. It is precisely because of this that we have never suspected you."

"No coincidence is a book, things in this world are sometimes so unexpected." Ye Zhilan played with the bracelet in her hand, the luster of the golden beads cast in her eyes, like sporadic lights were ignited, "The disciple of the dark guard is indeed my hand." Choose, but I can swear to God, I didn't know that they were actually sent by that person to monitor Man Jiangxue. In this matter, I was indeed a scapegoat, but it was a blessing in disguise. Misunderstanding, I only suspected that I was the person behind the disciple of the dark guard, but never suspected that I would be Xiaoqi."

So when she said before that she didn't know the origin of the disciple of the dark guard, she was not acting, but the truth.

"He gave Nangong Minliu the blueprint of the underground mechanism in Cangshan Mountain," Yin Qiu asked, "Is that so?"

But Ye Zhilan shook her head: "No, to be honest, he was just reaping the benefits, and he didn't take the initiative to do anything about the Ruyi Gate's demise. In fact, he can't be regarded as another murderer who destroyed the Ruyi Gate."

Yin Qiu said unexpectedly: "It's not him? Who is that?"

Ye Zhilan smiled slowly again, stared at Yin Qiu and said, "It's me."

Yin Qiu's expression changed, and this time he was really in a daze.

"On the surface, only the Shen couple and your parents knew about Liucang Mountain's underground institutions. Later, your father told Nangong Min," Ye Zhilan observed Yin Qiu's reaction, and said calmly, "But they don't know it. In fact, I know it too."

Shocked, Yin Qiu asked in surprise, "Why do you know?"

"You have to understand that I have been thinking about how to deal with Man Jiangxue since a long time ago," Ye Zhilan said, "When I found out that she had a close relationship with Shen Mandong, I set my target on the Ruyi Gate and searched for her. There are many rumors about Ruyimen. The first thing that strikes me as strange is the death of your grandparents."

Ye Zhilan knew that she would not be Man Jiangxue's opponent, so she could only do everything possible to deal with people close to her. To torture her in this way, if Shen Mandong and Ruyimen could be put to death, then Man Jiangxue would definitely It was a big blow, but if you want to attack Ruyimen, you must have a breakthrough that can attack.

But this breakthrough is actually not difficult to find, not to mention the sects of the Jianghu, even the government of the Tian family always has some shady activities. Ye Zhilan understands this truth very well. Ruyimen's encounter.

"Nangong Min must have told you about your father's life experience," Ye Zhilan said, "The Yins and his wife are the supervisors of the Shen family, and they manage the Ruyi Gate in an orderly manner. They were harmed, and they all became dumb, blind, and crippled, have you ever thought about why they suffered such a catastrophe?"

Yin Qiu moved his lips, but could not speak.

Seeing her reaction, Ye Zhilan bent the corners of her lips, and continued: "After I heard about the Yins and his wife, I secretly interviewed many people, and found that no one knew what they went through, and most of them were arrested. Asking about this matter is very taboo, and I don’t want to talk about it in detail. Think about it, is this in line with common sense? You know, there is no impenetrable wall in this world? The so-called geese leave traces, and wind leaves sound. Anything that has happened It is impossible to do absolutely clean things, maybe God will help me, or maybe hard work pays off, I finally found a witness who was willing to speak out for the Yin couple, and he told me everything .”

Yin Qiu asked, "So what happened?"

Ye Zhilan said: "The Yins and his wife are in charge of all the matters related to the construction of the underground mechanism. Do you understand me when I say that?"

Yin Qiu froze for a moment, then raised his eyelashes abruptly.

"To build the mechanism and bury it in the middle of Liucang Mountain is not a small project, and it will consume a lot of manpower," Ye Zhilan said slowly, "Even if it is done secretly at night, and the traces are erased during the day, Those who do things, they should know that they will never lose their memory, but during my visit, I never heard anyone mention the underground agency, isn't it strange?"

Yin Qiu frowned, and after a long pause, he finally spoke up: "The matter of the underground agency cannot be reported to the outside world, it must be kept secret, and the best way to keep it secret is to kill everyone who has dealt with it, and my grandfather and grandmother is the main person in charge, so..."

"So they will definitely not end well," Ye Zhilan said, "Master Shen killed them and your father's parents. Your father deliberately approached Shen Mandong after many years for revenge. And the person who told me the truth , he did not participate in the construction of the underground mechanism, but he had a relationship with the Yin family and learned about it by accident. Later, a group of people suddenly disappeared in Ruyimen, and the master of Shenmen claimed that he was killed by the Ziwei Sect Of course, that is a lie. So the witness survived by chance and kept it a secret from anyone, and the reason why he was willing to tell me was because I frankly told him about dealing with Ruyimen, otherwise He is determined not to tell. More importantly, he saw who I am, and if he doesn't tell, I will kill him."

Speaking of this, Ye Zhilan sneered: "Although I still killed him in the end."

Yin Qiu secretly squeezed his palms tightly, tried his best to suppress the fluctuations in his heart, and asked, "How did you get the blueprint?"

Ye Zhilan said: "Of course I got it from the Nine Immortals Hall. They made things, so they must have blueprints. Do you know why Meng Wugui became one of the Nine Immortals of the Nine Immortals Hall? That's because one of them The hall master was killed by me, he died, Meng Wugui was replaced, and the reason why Meng Wugui wanted to enter the Nine Immortals Hall must be to find out this matter, she can use you to attract the disciples of the dark guards to show up, It means that Meng Wugui also knows what the person behind him has done. It is a pity that she was still a little girl when the Ruyimen accident happened, so she still doesn't know how the blueprint was leaked."

"The master of the Nine Immortals Hall is not easy to deal with. Can you kill him so easily?" Yin Qiu said, "Can you still threaten him to hand over the blueprint?"

Ye Zhilan took out the bamboo flute from her sleeve and said, "Don't forget, I can use Gu poison to make his life worse than death."

Yin Qiu was short of breath, and his heart was extremely heavy: "Then you sent the blueprint to Nangong Min and helped her conquer Liucang Mountain. Even Nangong Min didn't know that you gave the blueprint."

"I didn't tell her," Ye Zhilan said, "Of course I wouldn't hand over all my handles to her, so I only used the whereabouts of the holy sword to reach a cooperation with her."

"The holy sword is not in the observatory," Yin Qiu said, "you lied to her."

But Ye Zhilan said with a smile: "The holy sword is in the observatory, I'm not lying," she said, leaning slightly closer to Yin Qiu, looking at her and saying, "After what happened in Weicheng, that person must be You will transfer the holy sword to another place, so you all rushed to nothing, I really can’t blame me for it. And since you are going to the observatory to find the holy sword, it must be Nangong Min who said it, even if you deliberately let it go Pushing it on Nangong Min's head, I can't sit still and wait for death, or do you think, seeing Nangong Min is about to bite me back, I will obediently stay in Yunhua Palace and wait for her to expose me?"

"The holy sword was given to my mother by my father," Yin Qiu said, "How could that person get the holy sword?"

Ye Zhilan's eyes were deep, and she looked at Yin Qiu with a bit of pity mixed in. She gently stretched out her hand, put it on Yin Qiu's cheek, and said softly, "Why else? Of course it's because He killed your mother and took the holy sword for himself."

Her palm was icy cold, like a piece of profound ice that had been sealed for many years, and Yin Qiu, who was so cold and agitated, became stiff all over.

Yin Qiu's eyes widened, his throat choked up and he said, "He, he killed my mother? My mother...is dead?"

Ye Zhilan rolled her eyes, and said softly: "He threatened Shen Mandong with your life, and asked her to hand over the holy sword and go away incognito. She was not allowed to come back for the rest of her life. In order to protect you, your mother agreed to him."

After she finished speaking, she withdrew her hand, with a cruel and proud smile on her face: "But when your mother turned around, he killed her with a sword. I can clearly see this matter from hiding in the dark."
