Chapter 356 Come Out, the Water is Cold

"The Right Protector is very cunning. What you see with your eyes is just what he wants you to see."

"From innocence to tears, they are all just means to deceive the eyes."

Jiang Ke stepped forward step by step and finally stopped in front of Ye Xingzhou.

"You suspected Ren Wangzhu was the Right Protector before, so be firm in your belief."

One person is outside the door, and the other is inside.

There is only a threshold between the two of them.

The distance was close enough that I could smell the soapberry fragrance on Jiang Ke's body.

It was faint, but enough to cover up the bloodiness that plagued the Law Enforcement Hall year-round. It was the scent of herbs and tassel flowers.

Jiang Ke lowered his eyes and just took in the tightly closed lips of the person in front of him, under his thick and distinct eyelashes.

"Ye Xingzhou, once you become suspicious, you must speculate with the greatest malice."

"Suspicion is suspicion. Before the truth is revealed, the worst thing to do is to be soft-hearted."

Jiang Ke's head shifted half an inch, and he leaned over to remind Ye Xingzhou.

"You hesitated just now."

When he put his ear close to Ye Xingzhou's, he bent his index finger, hooked it around Ye Xingzhou's belt, and pulled him over the threshold.

Once you enter the Law Enforcement Hall, the trial you will face is justice.

"Ren Wangzhu himself may know better than you that if he is truly innocent, he will be released after the truth is revealed."

Jiang Ke patted Ye Xingzhou's shoulder.

"Remember, you are not doubting Ren Wangzhu, but the Right Protector."

Compared to the usual verbal pressure and eye contact when interrogating prisoners, Jiang Ke's reminder at this time was very friendly.

Ye Xingzhou slowly exhaled.

"Thank you, Brother Jiang, for the reminder."

He was mistaken.

Without Jiang Ke's reminder, Ye Xingzhou might have acted on his emotions at this moment.

Ye Xingzhou raised his eyes and said, "Brother Jiang, I will cooperate with your plan."

After the troubled emotions disappeared, those eyes were so bright and clean when they focused on people, as if washed by clear water, reflecting Jiang Ke's face.

Very clear.

Jiang Ke realized belatedly that the distance was too close.

So close that I could see my own eyes in Ye Xingzhou's eyes.

Jiang Ke took a half step back and said, "Shan Huai and I will hide in the dark, and you will be responsible for leading out the Right Protector."

"If Ren Wangzhu is the Right Protector, Uncle Xiao would have discovered him immediately if he disappeared into the dungeon."

Ye Xingzhou hesitated for a moment, "But based on the current situation, it's obvious that this is a trap. I'm afraid the Right Protector won't fall for it."

"Besides, if it's the first possibility, we can only confirm whether Junior Brother Ren has the puppet thread in his body after the Xuanling Sect's head arrives."

Jiang Ke said, "Do you think the Law Enforcement Hall doesn't have the means to check the puppet's hanging thread?"

Jiang Ke waved his sleeves and a barrier was built.

Ye Xingzhou was stunned. "What do you mean?"

There was an extra stick of incense in Jiang Ke's hand.

"Performing the incense of silk, the incense burns like silk."

"It's just a test of the hanging thread. The Law Enforcement Hall still has the ability to do this." Jiang Ke's eyes were calm. "As for withdrawing, that's another matter."

As Jiang Ke finished speaking, footsteps were heard behind him.

Shan Huai entered the hall in black clothes, holding a burnt incense stick in his hand.

"There is no puppet suspension thread in Ren Wangzhu's body."

If Yansixiang can test the puppet's hanging thread, then what did Jiang Ke mean by inviting the leader of Xuanling Sect just now?

Ye Xingzhou was stunned. "What did Senior Brother Jiang and Uncle Xiao say just now..."

"Bait."

Jiang Ke briefly explained, "Including the plan just now."

So, this is a trick within a trick?

The real bait is actually Uncle Xiao who is in the same room with Ren Wangzhu?

Was it Jiang Ke's intention that we didn't build the barrier when we were discussing the plan just now?

Jiang Ke said, "Ren Wangzhu's identity is uncertain right now. Uncle Xiao, who is with him, is the most dangerous. The plan I just discussed with you is just a diversion."

What was diverted was Ren Wangzhu's attention.

It started from the moment Yi Xuan handed over the photo stone, and Jiang Ke saw in the image that Ren Wangzhu could be as unnoticed as if he were invisible.

Among the few people, the most defenseless one was Uncle Xiao.

Similarly, the best person to take action is Uncle Xiao.

Therefore, Jiang Ke openly directed his target to Ye Xingzhou, while secretly keeping a close eye on Ren Wangzhu's every move.

"Brother Jiang, what if it's not exposed?"

"It will definitely be exposed." Jiang Ke said affirmatively.

"There is a demon summoning scroll."

The last time the Demon Summoning Scroll was sealed in the Tianyuan Forbidden Land, it disappeared without the eight Nascent Soul cultivators noticing.

It's pretty much the same as today's scene.

From Jiang Ke's perspective, this was a perfect plan. Using the Demon Summoning Scroll as bait, the Right Guardian would surely come and snatch it.

If you want to rob, you have to leave the dungeon, and the dungeon has a limit on your cultivation level. Even if you don’t have the Immortal Binding Rope, once you enter, you will become an ordinary person from a cultivator.

The idea is good, though.

Ye Xingzhou was speechless for a moment.

This method is both feasible and unfeasible.

The reason lies with the Right Protector. After several encounters with him, Ye Xingzhou knows better than anyone that the Right Protector never plays by the rules.

The demon summoning scroll may not necessarily lure people out.

Ye Xingzhou finally asked, "Brother Jiang, can you make a copy of the photo stone for me?"

Jiang Ke agreed.

After returning to Danfeng, Ye Xingzhou closed the door and took out the photo stone to look at it.

From noon to dusk, over and over again, the scene shows Ren Wangzhu being manipulated and losing his mind.

He just appeared right under everyone's noses and destroyed the formation.

Why can the photo stone record the image but other people can’t see the person?

What exactly is the problem?

Ye Xingzhou scratched his head and stared at the moon outside the window, distracted.

The moon is so round, but it can’t contain all the thoughts in my head.

Can't find the problem.

During the day, Ren Wangzhu's expression of grievance and helplessness repeatedly appeared before his eyes.

He said he was scared.

Ye Xingzhou was also afraid.

I am afraid of trusting the wrong person, and I am also afraid of doubting the wrong person.

Ren Wangzhu's current appearance has nothing to do with the expected exposure of the right protector. Ren Wangzhu looks more like an innocent person who is being manipulated without knowing it.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that all the coincidences that happened to Ren Wangzhu before were deliberately guided by the right protector to lead Ye Xingzhou to suspect the people close to him.

Contradictory, extremely contradictory.

Ye Xingzhou simply stood up and went out to get some fresh air.

As he was walking around the lotus pond, a lotus leaf suddenly appeared at a distance from Ye Xingzhou.

The broad leaves swayed.

Ye Xingzhou walked over and reached into the water.

The moonlight was dim, and Ye Xingzhou fished out a man with a lotus leaf on his head.

"Who are you?"

Ye Xingzhou pulled open the lotus leaves, revealing a fair face without any obstruction. Water droplets dripped from his face, wetting his clothes. The clothes stuck to his body, outlining his strong muscles.

Ye Xingzhou's hands trembled, "Third Brother, why are you still diving in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Gu Qingshan smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to greet Ye Xingzhou.

"Junior brother, you found me. I'll dig some lotus roots."

Ye Xingzhou looked up and down at Gu Qingshan's wet body and was speechless for a moment.

Digging lotus roots is clearly an excuse.

Under Ye Xingzhou's gaze, Gu Qingshan was at a loss as to what to do and tried to pull out the lotus root.

The lotus roots in the lotus pond had been harvested long ago, so how could they still be dug up?

Ye Xingzhou held out his hand, "Come out, Third Brother, the water is cold."
