The man was 90% convinced of Qin Yanning's identity. He put away the smile on his face and said calmly, "My name is Fang Yao. What's your name?"

Qin Yanning immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "My name is Xinyi. I was bought by the Imperial Master when I was six years old."

Qin Yanning couldn't think of any other name for a moment, so she had to use Xinyi's. Fortunately, she knew a lot of things that happened to Xinyi, so she wouldn't be nervous even if Fang Yao asked her.

Fang Yao obviously knew that Fang Zhijie had many young girls as his children, and he nodded to show that he understood.

Qin Yanning also had doubts in his heart. The man in front of him also had the surname Fang. Could he be Fang Zhijie's illegitimate son?

Fang Yao glanced at Qin Yanning and said, "Why are you still standing with them? Come over here."

Fang Yao's tone was cold, and he looked at everyone as if he was looking at a pile of meat on a chopping board, fearing that Qin Yanning would pick up some dirt from being around them and infect him.

Qin Yanning stuck out her tongue and stood obediently beside Fang Yao.

Fang Yao nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the "fertilizer" being escorted by several people, with a hint of displeasure on his face.

He said, "Since Master asked you to come, why did you sneak in among them and follow them to the valley?"

Qin Yanning knew he couldn't avoid this question, so he sighed and said in distress, "Master Imperial Master, you didn't tell me what you do here, I only have a vague idea. I don't want to lose face in front of you, so I thought of changing my identity to come in, so that I can feel more confident."

Fang Yao snorted, "You're quite good at trying to please others. Aren't you afraid that I'll use you as fertilizer?"

Qin Yanning rolled her eyes inwardly. It was still unclear who would be used as fertilizer, but she didn't dare show it on her face. She could only say obediently, "I was scared when I came in yesterday, so I sneaked in today to deliver fertilizer to the adults."

The two of them did not avoid the people in front of them during the whole conversation. As smart as Ning Yu and Lao Zhao were, they had already realized that if they did not resist, they would end up being fed to the flowers.

The others who watched Fang Yao's performance today also understood that in his eyes, they were no different from dead people. Otherwise, why would he not avoid them at all when mentioning these secrets?

Fang Yao stepped forward and untied the ropes that bound the hands of the women among the "fertilizers." He turned to look at Ning Yu and Lao Zhao, a cruel smile on his face. "Life in Jingshan is boring. You must be tired too."

"These women will have to bleed to the flowers soon anyway, so why don't you guys relax a bit?"

Ning Yu, Lao Zhao and several others were struck by lightning when they heard Fang Yao's words, and they didn't know how to react.

For a moment, the memories that Wang Zhen read out in the mirror and the words that the man said before they entered the valley were all connected.

It turned out that the reason why Wang Zhen and his men dared to bully the girl in the valley was because he had Fang Yao's permission.

Qin Yanning was not surprised by Fang Yao's words. She had long guessed that what Wang Zhen and others did was related to Fang Yao, but she could not imagine what his purpose was.

Fang Yao was obviously used to being a lobbyist. Seeing that everyone was unmoved, he continued to persuade them: "Don't worry, this is Jingshan. You can put aside your ethics and morals for now. No one will know what you did."

As Fang Yao spoke, there was actually a hint of a smile on his face. When the women saw Qin Yanning winking at them, they showed expressions of fear at the right time.

When Fang Yao saw that the women were scared, he laughed even more happily.

Qin Yanning suddenly said at this time, "Master Fang, what are you going to do?"

Fang Yao was extremely pleased to be addressed as "Sir". He looked at Qin Yanning and patiently explained, "These flowers are called Ningling. Blood is certainly their nutrient, but blood filled with fear and regret is the best fertilizer.

There was a kind of madness in Fang Yao's voice, which made Qin Yanning feel even more disgusted.

Qin Yanning suppressed his nausea and continued to ask, "Then what is the function of this flower, Master Fang?"

Fang Yao didn't answer Qin Yanning. Instead, he looked at Ning Yu and the others and shouted angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Get moving! Do you still need my help?"

Qin Yanning reluctantly advised, "Master Fang, it's not right for you to do this in front of me. These flowers don't need watering right away. Let's go somewhere else and chat for a while. It won't be too late to let them make a fuss later, right?"

When Fang Yao heard Qin Yanning's words, his face froze, but in the blink of an eye he hid his expression and said with a smile, "You have a point."

As soon as Fang Yao finished speaking, he grabbed Qin Yanning's neck and said, "You were sent by the master, but you don't know the function of the Ningling Flower?"

"Tell me, who do you belong to?"

The situation on the field suddenly changed. Bai Jingchuan clenched his fists, ready to attack Fang Yao at any time. However, Qin Yanning tilted his head to look at him, then reached out and patted Fang Yao's hand, "Fang... Lord Fang, please loosen up a bit. Aren't you too sensitive?"

"Of course I know these flowers are for that woman to maintain her beauty, but I'm still curious. Lord Fang is so capable, and you're growing flowers just for that woman. Isn't that a waste of your talent?"

Hearing Qin Yanning say this, Fang Yao's face once again showed a satisfied smile, "So you don't like that guy either?"

Qin Yanning echoed, "There are only a few people around the Imperial Master who truly like her. That woman is just relying on their childhood friendship."

Fang Yao didn't continue Qin Yanning's words and said, "This flower can also make people forget their worries and become happy. People living in this world always have troubles, but as long as they use the incense made from the flower juice, they can forget their troubles and immerse themselves in happiness."

"Isn't this the same effect of the soul-bewitching charm you were hit with when you entered the mountains?"

Qin Yanning chuckled and nodded, "I see. Then isn't this flower a good thing? It can keep one's youthful appearance forever, and it can also bring happiness."

Fang Yao looked at Qin Yanning as if he were a fool. "What else in this world can make you happy without asking for anything in return?"

Qin Yanning concentrated on waiting for Fang Yao's answer, but saw him draw his sword and stab it towards his heart.
