"What are you doing!"

A fiery red figure descended from the sky, widening the distance between the two.

Si Yu thought to herself: The little beauty has finally arrived. If she hadn't come soon, the two of them would probably have fought until the world turned upside down.

"Xiao Jiu".

"Jiu'er".

Looking at the disheveled scene around her, Ji Jiuying's lips twitched slightly as she glared at the two men with displeasure.

Ye Qingchen stepped forward: "Xiao Jiu, Brother Ye and I are kindred spirits, so I couldn't help but want to have a friendly spar."

Ji Jiuying glanced at Gong Mingyue, only to see that he looked unhappy. She scoffed and turned her head away.

"·····"

"Qingchen, how is Qingling?"

"We have lived up to your expectations!"

Ye Qingchen raised his right hand, and the exquisite pagoda floated in his hand. With a gentle push, it flew towards Ji Jiuying.

Ji Jiuying was overjoyed and used her spiritual power to open the Linglong Tower. Looking at the sleeping Qingling inside, she breathed a sigh of relief. Si Yu also stepped forward to look at Qingling. When he saw the purple mark on Qingling's forehead, he was shocked and looked at Ye Qingchen with disbelief.

"Qingchen, thank you very much."

"Xiao Jiu, there's no need for thanks. It was just a small favor!"

"By the way, although she has regained her senses, the Demon Gathering Stone in her body has become one with her. Whether she can control it well depends on her own will."

Ye Qingchen explained.

Ji Jiuying nodded. As long as Qingling regained her senses, they would have the upper hand. Once Qingling completely devoured the Demon Gathering Stone, there would be no more worries.

"good."

Gong Mingyue narrowed his eyes and walked forward unhappily.

"Since there's nothing else, we won't disturb Young Master Ye any longer."

As he spoke, Gong Mingyue pulled Ji Jiuying away and disappeared from the spot. Seeing this, Si Yu also disappeared, leaving Ye Qingchen alone there.

Looking in the direction where the group disappeared, Ye Qingchen could no longer hold back and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Originally, after helping Qingling regain her senses, his divine power was already depleted, and he had also fought with Gong Mingyue. If it weren't for Xiao Jiu's sudden appearance, he would probably have already revealed his weakness and become Gong Mingyue's defeated opponent.

It's laughable to think that a god from Penglai Immortal Island could lose to a demigod. Ye Qingchen gave a bitter smile.

However, all of this is only temporary, including for her and him!

——

The group reappeared at the Lan family's residence.

"Ah Yue, I haven't finished speaking, how could you..."

"Do you still want to talk to him?"

"No, I haven't finished asking about Qingling yet."

"Si Yu can help you answer this!"

"·····"

Si Yu, who just appeared: What is the answer?

"Never mind, I'll go wake up Qingling first!" After saying that, she went to Lan Mingyue's courtyard.

As she left, Gong Mingyue's deep gaze fell on Si Yu.

"But what did you find?"

"I was right. Ye Qingchen is indeed not an ordinary god, but a phoenix."

Gong Mingyue narrowed his eyes. The Divine Phoenix Clan... Why would a member of the Divine Phoenix Clan appear in a lower plane? Although his intention was clearly Jiu'er, his intuition told him that there must be another reason.

"Regarding why he is in a mortal body, Master concluded that it is a reincarnation! In other words, this is not his true form now."

Si Yu seemed thoughtful: "It seems this Ye Qingchen is quite formidable; you've finally met your match..."

An opponent? Gong Mingyue's eyes were filled with disdain.

At this moment, Gong Mingyue frowned: "I have some matters to attend to. You stay here for now. If Jiu'er asks later, just tell her the truth."

After saying that, he disappeared without waiting for Si Yu to hear him clearly.

In a deserted mountain range.

"master!"

Wu Xin and Long Yang said respectfully.

"explain."

Longyang: "Master, I have found out who distributed the portrait and the twin lotus flowers. It is Fairy Xin Yao."

Gong Mingyue was not surprised to hear this.

Wu Xin: "Master, the eldest son of the distant manor is indeed suspicious!"

"Before Qingcang passed away, I was certain that he was not poisoned. Today, while investigating Young Master Yuan, I unexpectedly discovered that he could use Gu. Just as I was about to leave, Fairy Xinyao arrived. I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't get too close. The two of us started arguing after chatting for a while. I vaguely heard that Fairy Xinyao wanted to destroy a certain Gu, but Young Master Yuan was unwilling. Later, the two of us parted on bad terms."

"In order to find out the truth about that Gu, I used the spies I had planted in the Yuan family. Finally, I found out that the Gu that Fairy Xin Yao wanted to destroy was called the Hidden Wing Gu. This Gu is extremely beautiful and very rare. It is for this reason that Young Master Yuan did not follow Xin Yao's wishes."

This Hidden-Winged Gu is not poisonous, but it emits a strange gas that causes the internal organs to rapidly deteriorate and the body to weaken. I suspect that Qing Cang died after inhaling the gas from the Hidden-Winged Gu!

"During the investigation, my subordinates also discovered that Young Master Yuan was poisoned by Heart-Eating Poison, one of the Ten Great Poisons. Once Heart-Eating Poison enters the body, it will go straight to the heart meridian, silently seeping in and slowly but irreversibly corroding the heart of the poisoned person until death!"

Gong Mingyue's lips curled into a chilling smile. It must be said that Xin Yao was indeed very cautious; over the years, she had deliberately cultivated relationships with the Jing family to mislead others.

"Without a heart, could you possibly cure the Heart Erosion?"

"Your subordinate is capable!"

"After all these years, it's time to close the net!"

——

Inside the room, Qingling slowly opened her eyes, and a purple light flashed beneath them, so fast that it was impossible to catch.
