On this side, Jiang Niannian left Fangfei Garden and went straight to Shen Yu.

Since she planned to stay in Qingqiu, she would be responsible for the flowers and plants she planted.

Shen Yu was studying a medical book. When he saw her coming, he didn't even look at her. He just asked coldly, "Have you and Yin Buqi reconciled again?"

Jiang Niannian nodded.

Shen Yu said nothing, threw the medical book in his hand fiercely on the table, walked out of the house, poured the medicine from the medicine pot in the yard into the bowl, and stuffed it into Jiang Niannian's hand: "Your Qi and blood are weak, you can only eat and drink."

"Why are you the same as Buqi? He said the same thing this morning."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yu raised his eyes and glared at her, then sat back, picked up the medical book, and ignored her.

"It's so bitter." Jiang Niannian smelled it and put the medicine down. "Do you have any maltose here?"

"no."

"Then I won't drink."

After a long silence, Shen Yu suddenly asked, "Do you want to die?"

Jiang Niannian blurted out: "You go first."

"..." Shen Yu gave her a complicated look, threw down the book and walked out: "Drink if you want."

"Hey, was I just kidding? Why are you so uncomfortable with it?" Jiang Niannian found it funny and drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp.

The taste is clear, with a soft and rotten frozen feeling in the mouth, and it is sweet. This medicine smells bitter but tastes sweet. It must be very rare.

She put down the bowl and chased after him, "Are you going to the medicinal field? I want to go too."

"No, please don't come again. As for the medicine for your health, I will have someone send it to you."

Jiang Niannian was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Shen Yu turned his head and looked at her for a while, and it was as if she fell into his cold and empty eyes, spreading out one blood-stained ripple after another on the dark surface of the Dead Sea.

"Jiang Niannian, you are such a good person."

Jiang Niannian moved her lips: "Shen Yu..."

She suddenly felt that Shen Yu was a little strange today.

Shen Yu continued: "But I don't like nice people...not at all."

After saying that, Shen Yu left without looking back, leaving Jiang Niannian alone.

…

Shi Jing knelt on the stone floor of the dungeon and continued, "I was seriously injured when Yueqing picked me up, so I sneaked out to see places other than Qingqiu. After I recovered from my injuries, the two sisters sneaked out of Qingqiu with me on a moonlit night and returned to Rimu."

"Yue Lian fell in love with me, but I only had Yue Qing in my heart. As fate would have it, Yue Qing loved Yin Ruoxu. The four of us were entangled. Thinking about it now, it's ridiculous."

"What happened next is as you know. Yueqing married Yin Ruoxu, and Yuelin married me. When Hu Qianqiu found out about this, he was furious and severed all ties with them, forbidding them to ever return to Qingqiu."

Shi Jing talked incessantly, "Mu Rou was born a year later than you. You were still young at that time, so you might not remember it. Yue Lian always knew that I had Yue Qing in my heart, and she harbored resentment. In order to avenge me, she took Mu Rou away a few months later. When I found her, I only saw her body, but Mu Rou was nowhere to be found. The only thing I remember is that there was a small red lotus birthmark on my daughter's foot..."

Yin Buqi looked at the blood on the ground in silence, his red eyes were empty. He said, "I am not interested in your affairs at all. I just want to know the cause of my mother's death."

Shi Jing sighed and replied, "When you were born, Yue Qing fell into pain because she found out that you were of her ancestral bloodline. As expected, the Netherworld Resentful Seed came into being."

"Originally, Yueqing wanted to use a secret technique to dig out the Nether Demon in your body, but this was impossible. As you can imagine, she failed. You may not know that the Nether Demon not only affects the people around it, but also causes serious damage to the host itself. For your sake, Yueqing finally chose to use her own life to suppress the Nether Demon, so that the pain you need to endure is minimized. I was there at the time, and she begged me to help her do this. I have never been able to refuse her requests."

All these things, although uttered in just a few words from Shi Jing's mouth, made people feel infinitely sad.

"If other people knew your identity as the Nine-Tailed Fox and the evil spirit in your body, you would definitely die, so I used the name of evil to cover it up, abolish your cultivation, and reduce your presence."

Yin Buqi's fingertips trembled slightly, and terrifying blue veins appeared on the back of his hand.

Shi Jing continued, "And I, because I helped Qingqiu Jiuwei suppress the Dark Evil, was abandoned by the Heavenly Dao and lost the power of Guqin. But in order to avoid suspicion from the world, I had to use the excuse that I had detected the Dark Evil and the Nine-Tail as an excuse for the great loss of my spiritual power."

Yin Buqi lowered his eyes.

No wonder many years ago, when he left Sunset, Shen Yu told him that Shi Jing's spirit was unstable and was suffering from backlash.

I guess he lost a lot of spiritual power while helping his mother cast a spell.

"That night you said that the Savior Nine-Tail had a red lotus birthmark on its leg, just because you wanted to save Tang Murou from Wen Shili."

"Yes." Shi Jing nodded.

Yin Buqi said, "Let me ask you another question. Are you the one who controls the ghosts in Qinghe Town?"

"It's not me." Shi Jing continued, "You know Mu Rou is not dead yet. You have been sending people to look for her these days... I told you all this because I hope you will let her go for my sake. I owe her too much over the years..."

"Let her go?" Yin Buqi's voice condensed into a line, and there seemed to be an unquenchable fire in his eyes.

"Shi Jing, you are so naive. Do you know how many people she has killed? If it weren't for her, Yin Ci would still be alive and well now!"

"Just consider it as a plea from me. She is my only daughter. She did something wrong. If you are angry, just come at me..."

The more Tang Murou's name was mentioned, the more sorrow and hatred Yin Buqi felt. He turned around and said coldly, "Shi Jing, I tell you, there is no right or wrong in this world."

He said each word with great force: "It's just a matter of whether you are willing or not."

Yin Buqi no longer paid attention to Shi Jing's pleas and walked out, the tail of his black robe soaked in blood.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he smiled gently, but his eyes were filled with a blood-red madness, which turned his handsome features into a despairing viciousness. His voice was very soft: "But I don't need to be saved, nor do I need forgiveness."

After leaving the dungeon, Yin Buqi began to feel uneasy.

He originally thought that the person controlling the ghosts was Liu Xichuan, but this idea was shattered after the soul search that night.

His intuition told him that the person who controlled the ghost and took away Yin Ci's body must be the same person.

But who is it?

What is his purpose?
