"My Lord,

Huo Qubing shook his head.

"He was actually able to subdue that female devil... I thought that in this world, only the Marquis could control her." The scholar in Confucian robes looked at the mysterious man in a charred hat and robe, shock in his eyes.

"He is very strong." Huo Qubing said in a deep voice, "I thought I was the only one in the world who had reached that level... but now it seems that is not the case."

"You mean, he has also reached that realm?!" This time it was the deputy general's turn to open his mouth in shock.

Lin Qiye subdued the female prisoner purely by relying on his physical strength, so even they did not notice the fluctuations in his mental power. However, Huo Qubing's realm was far above that of the scholar and the deputy general. He could naturally see that Lin Qiye's every move exuded an aura at the ceiling level of human beings.

Huo Qubing silently stared at the figure who was carrying the unconscious female prisoner in one hand and dragging several monster heads in the other, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long time, he slowly spoke:

"Please come upstairs and have a chat."

Hearing Huo Qubing's voice, the man walked upstairs. After finding that the monster heads were a bit troublesome, he threw them downstairs and carried the female prisoner up to the restaurant.

It was not until he entered the room that the deputy general and others saw his face clearly, and the horror on their faces became more and more intense!

Under the charred hat, there was actually a young face, who seemed to be about the same age as their marquis. He had a broken sword hanging on his waist, and his whole aura was restrained, like an ordinary person.

Seeing that Lin Qiye was so young, even Huo Qubing was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression on his face.

"Greetings, Marquis Guanjun." Lin Qiye bowed and said.

"Your name is Lin Qiye?" Huo Qubing asked, "Where is your ancestral home?"

"Um... ancestral home..."

Lin Qiye was startled and began to stammer, "My ancestral home is Cangnan."

"Cangnan?" Huo Qubing turned his head and looked at the scholar. The latter's face was also full of confusion. He shook his head at him, indicating that he had never heard of it either.

"Judging from your age, you should be of the same generation as me. Why did you call yourself a junior just now?"

Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and spoke seriously: "Because I came from more than 2,000 years later, so I am naturally considered a junior."

As soon as the words fell, the restaurant fell into silence.

Huo Qubing, the deputy general, and the scholar were stunned. After a long time, the deputy general smiled and said:

"Two thousand years later? This young man really loves to joke... hehe..."

The scholar in Confucian robes pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Are you kidding? I don't think so... Nowadays, there are many extraordinary people in the world. If there is one who can transcend time, it is not impossible."

"Yan Zhong, do you really believe that he came from two thousand years ago? That's two thousand years!"

"I'm just saying it's a possibility."

While the two were arguing, Huo Qubing kept looking at Lin Qiye, his brows furrowed tightly:

"Can you prove it?"

Lin Qiye glanced over his entire body. Apart from the crimson cloak under his bamboo hat and the sword of Ama-Kushu at his waist, there was nothing else belonging to his original era. Odd items like his cell phone had long been shattered when he traveled through time.

Then rely on prophecy to prove your identity?

But the problem is, as an ordinary person who became a night watchman halfway through high school, Lin Qiye knows very little about history. His knowledge of this era is limited to Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, and Marquis Huo Qubing, who conquered the Wolf's Lair, and he knows nothing else… He can't just tell Huo Qubing directly that after the Western Han Dynasty there was the Xin Dynasty, Xuan Han, and that the Eastern Han Dynasty was divided into Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with wars never stopping, right?

There is no way to verify this thing even if you say it!

Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment and could only speak half-guessingly, "In the future, you will defeat the Xiongnu, climb up Wolf Mountain, and build an altar to offer sacrifices to the heavens..."

The scholar looked at him suspiciously, "The future? Wasn't that something that happened two years ago... Isn't it known to everyone now?"

“…”

Damn it! How do those historical travelers in novels happen to know so much historical knowledge?

Lin Qiye cursed in his heart, and then seemed to have thought of something.

"My Lord, has the Evil Suppression Division been established now?"

Huo Qubing's pupils shrank slightly.

He turned to look at the scholar and the deputy general, both of whom also looked confused.

Huo Qubing did have plans to set up a special office specifically to suppress evil spirits... but that was just a temporary idea. Apart from the scholar, the deputy general and the unconscious female prisoner, he never told anyone else. So how did this young man in front of him know about it?

"You..." The deputy general looked at Lin Qiye in astonishment. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Huo Qubing stared at Lin Qiye for a long time, then turned around and sat down on the chair. He did not answer Lin Qiye's question, but spoke slowly.

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"……No."

"Sit down and eat together." Huo Qubing said calmly, "Don't waste this table of food."

Seeing this, Lin Qiye did not refuse. He sat down at the table and started eating with chopsticks.

After traveling through more than two thousand years in one breath, Lin Qiye was already feeling hungry. Although it seemed that this body would not die without eating, Lin Qiye would naturally not miss the opportunity to satisfy his appetite.

Seeing Lin Qiye eating like a starving ghost, the scholar and the deputy general beside him had strange expressions. This young man who appeared inexplicably seemed to be full of doubts.

Could it be an assassin who came to kill the Marquis?

Just as the two of them were on high alert, Lin Qiye seemed to remember something, pointed at the unconscious female prisoner beside him and asked:

"My Lord, who is this person?"

"Death row prisoner." Huo Qubing glanced at the female prisoner and said calmly, "This witch has a strange ability. She can eat aliens weaker than herself alive and transfer their faces into her own body. As long as she changes the faces of those aliens, she can use their abilities.

Moreover, as long as she devours a strange man alive, she can graft the other's lifespan onto herself. As long as she continues to devour strange men alive, she can have eternal life. The longer she lives, the stronger she will be, and she will be able to devour more strange men... If she continues to cycle like this, she will be immortal and extremely powerful.

The drawback is that the person she swallowed alive will always exist in her body, tormenting her mind, and the ability level of the swallowed person will be frozen. If you want to improve the level of a certain ability, you need to spend a lot of time and energy. "

Lin Qiye nodded slightly. Huo Qubing's description was similar to what he saw in the archives... and the strange man that Huo Qubing mentioned should be the owner of the Forbidden Ruins.

According to Lin Qiye's understanding, [Eternal Beauty] is the only one among many forbidden places that feeds on its own kind, and is also known as the most evil forbidden place, because the process of collecting "Face" can only be eaten alive, which is extremely cruel. But at the same time, the immortality and power it can achieve are also beyond the reach of ordinary forbidden places.

If the seven great kings of the world were given personalities, then the fifth king, [Changshengyan], would definitely be a brutal and evil king of immortality!

Although Lin Qiye knew about the existence of the Fifth King Ruins, he had never heard of anyone owning this King Ruins. He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What is the name of this prisoner?"

"Name?" Huo Qubing paused for a moment.

"Her name is Gong Yangwan."
