Qin Yanning opened his mouth to comfort Bai Jingchuan, but in the end, no sound came out.

Bai Jingchuan gave a bitter smile and looked at Qin Yanning, "I had already prepared for this, but when I saw my aunt's belongings, I still felt very sad."

Bai Jingchuan touched the bone whistle in his hand and asked, "Can I have this?"

Qin Yanning nodded and said, "Of course, she should have returned to Qingqiu."

Bai Jingchuan clenched the bone whistle in his hand and couldn't help rubbing it a few times, "Thank you."

Qin Yanning looked at Bai Jingchuan steadily, tears in the boy's eyes. "I will do my best to retrieve Miss Bai's soul. Fang Zhijie doesn't love her, and Lin Yingfei is stingy and selfish. I don't think he would keep her under his nose."

Qin Yanning originally thought that Bai Yao's soul might have been placed on the sixth floor of the warehouse by Fang Zhijie. If that was the case, under the surveillance of the spirit mirror, it would be basically impossible for her to enter the sixth floor without alerting Fang Zhijie.

But after today's observation, she can be sure that Bai Yao's soul is not on the sixth floor.

There was not a trace of demonic power on the sixth floor of the warehouse. After the original owner died in his previous life, he was unable to go in and find out because of the formation outside the sixth floor.

It is impossible for Fang Zhijie, a scumbag, to pay so much attention to Bai Yao's soul, so Qin Yanning guessed that the sixth floor of the warehouse was actually the place where Fang Zhijie prepared a blood transfusion for Lin Yingfei.

It is very likely that Bai Yao's soul was hidden by Fang Zhijie in the dungeon where the original owner was imprisoned. It is located under the Observatory and is never exposed to sunlight all year round. Fang Zhijie put her there so that he would not annoy Lin Yingfei and would not be discovered by others.

After the previous owner died, Lin Yingfei's health improved and Fang Zhijie moved out of the Observatory. A thunderbolt from the sky burned the Observatory to ashes. Not long after that, Bai Jingchuan led the Qingqiu monsters into the imperial city.

Qin Yanning guessed that it must have been the fire that extinguished Bai Yao's last ray of life, letting Qingqiu know the news of Bai Yao's death.

Bai Jingchuan looked at the girl in front of him who was frowning and thinking, and his heart couldn't help but ache. If he knew that his aunt had lost her life after leaving Qingqiu, he would never let his aunt go down the mountain.

The foxes in Qingqiu have always been clear about what they love and hate. If Fang Zhijie dares to treat his aunt like this, he should be prepared to bear the wrath of Qingqiu.

Bai Jingchuan's voice was a little hoarse, "Miss Qin's kindness will be remembered by everyone in Qingqiu."

As he spoke, Bai Jingchuan took off the jade pendant he was carrying and said, "This is Qingqiu's magic weapon. As long as Miss Qin activates the magic weapon, Qingqiu will definitely come to help you no matter how far away it is."

Qin Yanning glanced at Bai Jingchuan. The young man's eyes were firm, so she did not refuse and took the jade pendant from his hand.

She gained a lot that day. She took a lot of good things from Fang Zhijie's warehouse and also got a jade pendant from Bai Jingchuan.

Seeing that Bai Jingchuan was listless, Qin Yanning coughed lightly and said, "You should get some rest early. We will set off tomorrow. The poison in your body has not been cured yet. If you don't follow me, all our efforts will be wasted."

"Lu Qingqing is already a dead bird with Fang Zhijie. If I don't take her with me, I will be in danger."

Bai Jingchuan didn't expect that Qin Yanning would actually explain tomorrow's itinerary to him. In his impression, this young lady was arbitrary and didn't care about other people's feelings.

Bai Jingchuan nodded. "Miss Qin, if you want to take me to the sandbar, there's naturally no problem. The demon tribe has also repeatedly forbidden the slaughter of humans. Now that there's trouble, I should help out."

"It's just that... the origin of that little blue bird must be complicated. Miss Qin should be more careful."

Although he seldom went down the mountain and had little contact with the demon tribes outside, he still noticed something was wrong with the feathers on Lu Qingqing's body when she transformed into her original form. Now that the spiritual power was thin, it was impossible for an ordinary little blue bird to grow a blue-gold crown feather. However, the feathers on Lu Qingqing's neck were all blue-gold.

This little bluebird had most likely grown up on some sacred mountain with rich spiritual energy. Nowadays, besides Qingqiu, the only two mountains that could be called sacred were Weishan and Linshan.

Qin Yanning nodded. She also knew that Lu Qingqing's background was not simple, but under the circumstances at the time, she seemed unable to kill a little blue bird that had just entered the human world.

What's more, if she really killed him, wouldn't she be in more trouble if Lu Qingqing's family came to her house in the future?

Seeing Qin Yanning's calm expression, Bai Jingchuan knew that she had already guessed it, so he said no more.

Qin Yanning couldn't help but took a step forward, "Little fox, are you worried that something might happen to me?"

Bai Jingchuan was caught off guard by Qin Yanning's sudden response and blushed. "You are my benefactor, Qingqiu's benefactor. Of course I don't want anything to happen to you. I want to work with you to get rid of Fang Zhijie."

Feeling the warmth coming from Qin Yanning's body, Bai Jingchuan couldn't help but look down at her. She was dressed cutely today, with two pink pompoms on both sides of her hair. For some reason, Bai Jingchuan pinched the pompoms on Qin Yanning's hair.

It felt soft, but seemed a little worse than his ears.

Bai Jingchuan shook his head, trying to shake off the strange thoughts in his mind.

Qin Yanning took the opportunity to put his hand on his head and said, "You touched my little pompom, why don't you show me your ears and let me touch them."

Bai Jingchuan took a step back to avoid Qin Yanning's hand, "I'm sorry, Miss Qin, I was rude."

Qin Yanning knew that Bai Jingchuan was shy, so she stopped teasing him and took her hand back.

She knew that Bai Jingchuan was in a bad mood, so she wanted to deliberately break the solemn atmosphere and pull him out of his sad mood for a short while.
