Chapter 403 Make a Deal
It was still the familiar three men. They pushed Yue Shan, who was tied up tightly, in front of Xie Liuyin and forced him to kneel down.
One of them took the initiative to stand up and explain for Xie Liuyin: "Please look, Immortal Venerable, this is the Immortal who dared to order the assassin to come and kill you."
"You have been investigating for so long, are you sure that this guy did it? But he is only at the Golden Immortal realm. The assassin has the same level of cultivation as him. Why would he listen to him and take the risk?" Xie Liuyin didn't believe these people's lies.
The three had been warned by their confidant before they came, and they were prepared for these questions. The one who spoke first continued, "We don't know this either. Why don't you take the man down for interrogation to see if you can pry him open his mouth?"
"It's really interesting. You went to investigate the truth and caught the person, but you don't know the reason. I almost suspected that you just randomly caught someone and wanted to deal with me." Xie Liuyin said deliberately.
The faces of the few people remained unchanged, and they just kept saying, "We really don't know. We just checked this person and he refused to speak. Why don't you ask the Immortal Venerable yourself?"
“Okay.” Xie Liuyin was almost laughing at these people. “Then I’ll go ask them myself. If I find out that you’ve found the wrong person, I won’t give you the Yangxin Pill.”
The three of them kept smiling: "Of course, we just hope you can interrogate us faster and not make us wait too long."
Xie Liuyin did not answer. She just asked people to take Yue Shan away first, and then asked the three people to stay in Lanyue Palace. She went to interrogate Yue Shan.
In the dark dungeon, Yue Shan's cultivation had long been destroyed, and he was now no different from an ordinary person.
Xie Liuyin looked him over and saw the uprightness in his expression. He asked curiously, "You don't look like a criminal. Why did you agree to take the blame for Emperor Haotian?"
Yue Shan's expression changed. He didn't expect Xie Liuyin to be so straightforward right from the start and directly expose that he was there to take the blame.
Although everyone knew about this, few would speak out directly. He thought that a figure like Immortal Master Jingchen would pretend to be nice, but because of the power of Immortal Emperor Haotian, he would be hastily convicted and executed.
"Why, didn't you expect me to be so straightforward?" Xie Liuyin raised his eyebrows slightly, "We all know about this assassination, it was the work of Emperor Haotian, you are just an unlucky scapegoat."
Yue Shan lowered his head and refused to admit it: "No, this has nothing to do with Emperor Haotian. I was jealous that you became an immortal at such a young age, and I thought you used some evil magic to disguise your cultivation, so I tricked Qin Xi into assassinating you."
“Tsk, it’s come to this, and you’re still trying to keep it secret for your master. Well, after all, you still have a daughter in their hands. Even if you want to resist, I’m afraid you can’t.” Xie Liuyin’s voice exploded in Yue Shan’s ears.
Yue Shan raised his head instantly and looked at Xie Liuyin with horror. He was once again shocked by the immortal's ability to get information.
At this point, Yue Shan was too lazy to pretend anymore. He sighed and said, "Yes, my daughter is still in their hands, so how can I not listen to their orders?"
"They need a scapegoat anyway, and you just want to make Emperor Haotian suffer a loss. It would be good for all three of us if we just admit it. Why do we have to keep asking questions?"
"I don't agree with this. If I really have to admit this, I'm afraid only Immortal Lord Haotian and his side will be satisfied. You and I are not satisfied at all." Xie Liuyin found a chair and sat down, looking like he wanted to have a long talk with Yue Shan.
Yue Shan glanced at Xie Liuyin in surprise, not understanding what else she was dissatisfied with.
Although she is an immortal, her power is definitely not as strong as Haotian, the immortal emperor. Yue Shan has been with Haotian Immortal Emperor for so many years, and Xie Liuyin is the only one who has gained benefits from him.
Now that things have come to this, what else can Xie Liuyin do?
While he was thinking about this, he heard the Immortal Venerable suddenly say, "Would you like to cooperate with me? I can rescue your daughter."
Yue Shan's pupils trembled, and there was a little light in his eyes. But when he thought of the power of Emperor Haotian, the light quickly dissipated: "Let's not talk about how you can rescue my daughter from the strict supervision of the Fourth Heaven. Even if you rescue her, we have nowhere to go."
"Forget it, don't bother with it anymore. I'll use my life to make amends for your sin."
Listening to the man's desperate voice, Xie Liuyin didn't show any discouragement on his face: "How do you know it's impossible if you don't try? Besides, I really have a place that Emperor Haotian will never find. It's big enough for you and your daughter to live there peacefully until Emperor Haotian steps down."
Yue Shan raised his head again, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Give us something that can prove your identity, and we will rescue your daughter and provide you with a place to live in peace."
"And in return, you need to tell me everything you know about Emperor Haotian. Do you want to make this deal?"
A long time later, Yue Shan had forgotten how he felt at that time. He only knew that he had to seize this last chance.
He wanted to live a good life with his daughter.
The next day, the three confidants of Immortal Emperor Haotian could no longer wait, and they came to see Xie Liuyin early in the morning to ask how the interrogation was going and whether she could give them the Yangxin Pill as soon as possible.
Fortunately, this time the Immortal Master Jingchen was quite polite. After meeting them, he said, "That man has confessed his guilt to me, saying that he had bewitched the assassin to attack me. Although I don't believe all of this, since it was sent by the Immortal Emperor Haotian, I will just take it as the truth."
Naturally, they could understand the meaning behind Xie Liuyin's words. She clearly did not believe this result, but due to the power of their Immortal Emperor, they could only swallow their anger.
The three of them looked at each other and saw the contempt for Xie Liuyin in each other's eyes.
"Now that it's done, shouldn't the Immortal Lord give us the elixir that he promised?" The three men couldn't help but urge.
Xie Liuyin waved her hand, and soon the palace maid presented a wooden box.
The three of them immediately came over and checked the pill according to the Medical Immortal's instructions before they felt comfortable accepting it.
"We have bothered you for a long time. We have obtained the elixir and it is time to go back to treat Immortal Ling Hua. Goodbye!" The three of them said goodbye in a hurry and left Lanyue Palace without waiting for Xie Liuyin's response.
Seeing this, Yun Xuan, who had changed her appearance and was standing by Xie Liuyin's side, was extremely dissatisfied: "They are too ostentatious. Aren't they afraid that we will get angry and attack them?"
“As long as the Immortal Emperor Haotian is alive, they will naturally be fearless. It’s a pity that others dare not take action, but the Immortal Emperor Haotian can take action against these subordinates.” Xie Liuyin sneered.
Who said that if Immortal Ling Hua took away the Yangxin Pill, he would be able to survive?
