Chapter 35035 Gummy Candy

Chapter 35

Yingji and Kongfan had already walked away, but Ling Jiayan was still standing there, looking into the distance in the direction where Yingji had left.

A small guard behind him whispered, "Are you taking a shower here?"

Ling Jiayan came back to his senses and remembered the doubts he had when he first met Kong Fan and Ying Ji.

He looked up at the waterfall and lake in the distance and shook his head. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Since Ling Jiayan already knew the identity of the deceased, there was no need to continue investigating today.

But he quickly frowned again, thinking of a bigger problem. Venerable Di Fu had come with Princess Xuan Ji of the Duxue Kingdom to help repair the Soul-Extinguishing Well. Now that Venerable Di Fu had suddenly died, how would he explain this to Princess Xuan Ji? How would he explain this to the Duxue Kingdom?

Frankly, having witnessed firsthand how Venerable Di Fu oppressed ordinary people, Ling Jiayan felt no regret for his death. However, given Ling Yu's status as Crown Prince, he had to consider more.

Ling Jiayan pondered for a while, then raised his voice and ordered all the guards who came here today not to reveal that Venerable Di Fu died at the hands of Ying Ji.

Perhaps, Ling Jiayan had some selfish motives.

If the people of Duxue Country find out about it themselves in the future, or if Yingji and Kongfan tell it themselves, then it will have nothing to do with him.

Ling Jiayan did not linger any longer and returned to the palace.

As soon as he returned, he met the Venerable Fu Feng who came looking for him. He hurriedly walked over to him and said, "Master."

Venerable Fu Feng nodded and said, "Have you found out what formation it is?"

"Master, it's the Seven Talismans Killing Formation." Ling Jiayan hesitated for a moment and told Venerable Fu Feng about his encounter with Kong Fan and Ying Ji.

"Ying Ji? Are you saying that Ying Ji used the Seven Talismans Killing Formation to strangle that old man Di Fu?" Venerable Fu Feng raised his eyebrows, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Venerable Di Fu was actually dead? Venerable Fu Feng was very surprised. After all, he had just seen Venerable Di Fu in the woods yesterday and even accidentally injured him.

He just died like that? At Yingji's hands?

Ling Jiayan explained: "My disciple only identified the Seven Talisman Killing Formation. As for whether there are other formations... maybe my disciple is not proficient in learning talismans and cannot detect them."

Venerable Fu Feng pondered for a moment and asked, "Kong Fan was there when you met Ying Ji. Is it possible that he helped?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, before Ling Jiayan could respond, Venerable Fu Feng shook his head. "Impossible. Murder, especially brutal murder, is something Kong Fan wouldn't interfere with."

Ling Jiayan said, "Next time there's a chance, I'll ask Ying Ji again."

Venerable Fu Feng didn't respond. Ling Jiayan wanted to ask, would Ying Ji tell the truth? Venerable Fu Feng didn't quite believe it.

"Never mind. It's just someone else's business." Venerable Fu Feng stood up and shook the gourd in his hand. "I'm going to send these dead monsters to the Soul-Exterminating Well."

"I'll go with Master."

Venerable Fu Feng waved his hand and went to the Soul-Destroying Well by himself without Ling Jiayan's company.

The Soul-Destroying Well has been mostly repaired with the help of strong men from the Nine Regions and Twelve Countries during this period of time. It won’t be long before it is back to its original state.

Venerable Fu Feng came to the Soul-Exterminating Well, but he did not send the dead monsters in the gourd into the Soul-Exterminating Well. The Soul-Exterminating Well had not been fully repaired yet, so it was not the right time to send the dead monsters in.

Lingyu Country temporarily moved a Demon-Suppressing Tower not far from the Soul-Destroying Well, and settled the souls captured during this period in the Demon-Suppressing Tower. After the Soul-Destroying Well was completely repaired, all the souls in the Demon-Suppressing Tower would be sent into the Soul-Destroying Well.

Venerable Fu Feng opened the magic gourd and drove all the dead monsters he had caught in the past few days into the Monster Locking Tower one by one.

When the last dead demon was sent into the Demon Locking Tower, Venerable Fu Feng suddenly frowned.

No, the quantity is wrong!

One missing!

Venerable Fu Feng closed his eyes and quickly recalled every dead demon he had just put into the Demon Locking Tower.

Which one is missing?

Venerable Fu Feng suddenly opened his eyes.

He remembered that it was the pig demon. While trying to capture the pig demon, he had accidentally injured the Venerable Di Fu.

Venerable Fu Feng slowly narrowed his eyes and gradually connected the coincidences together.

The missing pig demon, he accidentally injured Venerable Di Fu, and he happened to see Ying Ji when he was capturing the pig demon... and later Ying Ji strangled Venerable Di Fu with a talisman formation?

Venerable Fu Feng raised his eyebrows and then laughed twice.

Why did he feel like he had been tricked and become a pawn in someone else's game? As a respected person, it was inevitable that he was a little arrogant. After being arrogant for a long time, Jin Chao felt complicated when he found out that he was being used.

"Ying Ji? Ha! Interesting." Venerable Fu Feng shook his head repeatedly.

His face had remained unchanged for millennia, his youthful, handsome features always calm and composed, rarely showing obvious emotion. He smiled now, but it was unclear whether it could be considered a laugh from anger.

·

Yingji had been preoccupied with the ambush and murder of Venerable Di Fu for days, her spirits tense. She had been busy all night, and now, returning to the annex, she was completely exhausted, her body and head ached, and she yawned constantly.

She came back yawning all the way, spoke unclearly, turned away from Kong Fan casually, and lazily pushed open the door of her room.

She suddenly fell on the bed, and sleepiness almost overwhelmed her instantly.

Just at this moment, her stomach growled, reminding her of her hunger.

Without even opening her eyes, Ying Ji took out a piece of dry food from her Qiankun bag and took a few bites to satisfy her hunger.

The half-eaten bread fell from her hand and fell to the side. She had fallen asleep on the bed.

This sleep was a deep sleep after Yingji relaxed, a sleep that made up for days of lack of sleep. She slept for a long time, a deep and sweet sleep.

But when someone pushed the door open, Yingji instinctively opened her eyes, already holding the scimitar in her hand.

"Yingji, get up!" Xuanji rushed in angrily.

Yingji opened her eyes and saw that it was her. She turned over, sat up lazily, and said casually: "It's my sister."

Xuan Ji drew her sword, pointed it at Ying Ji, and demanded, "You killed Venerable Di Fu, didn't you?"

Yingji just smiled and said nothing. She didn't know yet whether Ling Jiayan had revealed her murder, so she neither admitted nor denied it.

"I know it's you!" Xuan Ji shouted, "Last night I received a message from Venerable Di Fu, he called your name! And then there was no news! Today, people from Lingyu Country told me that he was murdered last night! You were so angry that you killed him, right?"

Ying Ji understood that it was not Ling Jiayan who told Xuan Ji that she was the one who killed Venerable Di Fu, but Venerable Di Fu who sent a message to Xuan Ji when he was trapped in the Seven Talismans Killing Formation last night.

Yingji smiled, looked at Xuanji, and said softly, "I killed him? Do you think so highly of me, sister?"

Xuan Ji gritted her teeth and looked at Ying Ji with an inquiring gaze. This was exactly what she didn't understand. How could Ying Ji have the ability to kill Venerable Di Fu?

"Then you must know something! Otherwise, when Venerable Di Fu was murdered last night, he wouldn't have sent me a message calling your name!"

Yingji moved her legs off the bed and changed to a more comfortable position. She tilted her head slightly and tidied up her long hair that was messed up by sleep.

"Say something!" Xuan Ji moved the long sword in her hand closer to Ying Ji.

Suddenly, a force came and hit the long sword in Xuan Ji's hand. The force shook her hand, causing pain. She stumbled back half a step and looked back.

The door was open, and through it, she saw Kong Fan in the courtyard. He was holding a food box and looking into the house, his eyes fixed on the sword in Xuan Ji's hand pointing at Ying Ji.

Yingji looked past Xuanji and glanced at Kongfan.

She said jokingly, "Sister, Venerable Di Fu called out my name before he died. Could it be that he was thinking of me all the time? It was precisely because he was dying that he missed me so much?"

"You vixen, you are talking nonsense!" Xuan Ji was about to draw her sword towards Ying Ji, but the sword trembled and a crack appeared on it.

Xuan Ji opened her eyes wide and watched the sword that she had carefully crafted shatter into pieces.

She angrily put away her sword, turned around and ran out, ran to Kong Fan, and shouted angrily: "You are such a hateful monk!"

Kong Fan lowered his eyes to look at her and said calmly, "Don't point the sword at your own sister."

"You!" Xuan Ji was furious, but she knew that her mediocre skills were no match for Kong Fan! Her supporter, Venerable Di Fu, had also suddenly died, leaving her without a strong supporter!

Xuan Ji stamped her feet in anger, turned around and glared at Ying Ji fiercely, saying, "I will write a letter to my father to tell him about your evil deeds!" Then she turned away angrily.

Yingji didn't take Xuanji's words to heart at all. She got out of bed, walked to the dressing table, picked up the wooden comb on the dressing table, and combed her long hair again and again.

When Kong Fan walked in, Ying Ji smelled the rich aroma of food.

Thinking of the piece of dry food she had nibbled on before going to bed, Yingji turned her head and looked at Kong Fan eagerly, watching him put the food box on the table and then take out the food inside one by one.

They are all vegetarian meals, but they also have an enticing fragrance.

Yingji didn't even bother to comb her hair. She just pulled a piece of red silk to tie her long hair together, stood up, walked to the table, sat down, picked up the chopsticks and started eating immediately.

Yingji took a sip of the sweet soup, her eyes curved in sweetness. It was fragrant and sweet between her lips and teeth. She raised her eyes and looked at Kongfan: "Did you do all this?"

Kong Fan took out the last small box from the food box, opened it, put it aside, and said, "This last one is not it."

Yingji looked over and saw several candies of different colors in the small box.

Yingji put down her chopsticks, picked up a piece of candy and put it in her mouth, saying in surprise, "It's actually soft candy. I thought it was hard candy!"

Kong Fan glanced at the smile on Ying Ji's face and said, "Let's eat first."

"Okay, I'll listen to Kong Fan." Yingji picked up the chopsticks again, picked up a piece of tofu and put it in her mouth.

Yingji ate mouthful after mouthful, enjoying the meal very much.

Kong Fan could tell Ying Ji was in a good mood. Seeing Ying Ji eating happily with a big appetite, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

The Buddhist beads wrapped around his hand turned a few times and slowly calmed down and hung on his palm.

Kong Fan sat aside and watched Ying Ji eat. He waited until she was full and put down her chopsticks before he spoke: "I have something to tell you."

Yingji wiped the corners of her lips with a silk handkerchief. Her tone was casual, with a faint, nonchalant smile, as she asked, "Like, are you going to kick me out again? Or send me to some nunnery for peace and quiet? Or are you planning to start giving me lessons and lectures?"

"Yingji," Kong Fan said, "Rebels appeared in the west of Beicang Country, and Kou Yuze rushed back to Beicang Country overnight."

Yingji looked at Kongfan, blinked, and asked uncertainly, "Is this what you seriously intend to tell me?"

"yes."

Ying Ji was amused by Kong Fan's affirmative answer. She laughed and asked, "What does it have to do with me whether there are rebels in Beicang?"

Yingji felt very puzzled. Why did Kongfan tell her this in a serious manner?

"No." Kong Fan paused, "Kou Yuze returned to Beicang Kingdom last night."

Yingji nodded: "You just said that."

Kong Fan looked at Yingji's completely indifferent expression, confusion in his eyes. He stared at Yingji's expression for a long while before saying, "He promised to take you away when he comes back."

"So?" Ying Ji asked, confused. What did Kong Fan mean by this? Was he disappointed that Kou Yuze didn't take her away?

Confusion in Kong Fan's eyes grew even thicker, and he repeated, "He promised you."

"Of course we have to go back and deal with the urgent military information immediately." Ying Ji blurted out.

Kong Fan was silent for a while, and finally asked, "Will you be disappointed?"
