Zhang Yan told Li Er all the information he got from him.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Lu Cheng spoke first, somewhat puzzled: "Isn't Li Er an NPC? Why is she looking for the five of you?"
Meng Qingyin thought of the gods that Baihu had told her about. It was those gods who created this world, so the NPCs in this world must have been created by them as well.
Lear may have been created by that god.
Based on what Zhang Yan had just said and the images they had each seen, it was not difficult to infer that the five of them were all created by that Lord God, and that they had also each obtained some of that Lord God's abilities.
Zhang Yan inherited his stature, Zhao Lan inherited his kindness, and Lin Qian inherited his "immortality".
From this point of view, the God Lord Zhou Xing relied on at that time was obviously someone else.
Zhang Yan gnashed with hatred at the mention of Li Er: "What other purpose could there be? To sacrifice the five of us to that man and help him wake up!"
Chen Leying asked, "You just said Lin Qian is on our side. Are you sure she won't change her stance?"
Zhang Yan wasn't worried that Lin Qian would change sides at the last minute: "She and I are tied to the same rope, and that won't change."
If Lin Qian changed her stance and sided with Li Er, she would undoubtedly be giving up her own life.
Lin Qian wouldn't be that stupid.
Chen Leying nodded and said nothing more.
Meng Qingyin said slowly, "Who is the person Li Er found? Find a way to get it out of her. That person is also very important to us."
In order to change the fate of Zhang Yan and his four companions, they must unite. If any one of them does not cooperate, it will be in vain.
At the moment, that person may have sided with Lear, but she still wants to win him over.
Zhang Yan nodded solemnly: "Okay, I'll find a way."
Meng Qingyin looked at Zhao Lan again: "And you, Li Er doesn't know yet that you are one of them. Try to avoid her in the future and don't contact her. Call us if you need anything."
Zhao Lan: "Okay, I understand."
Zhang Yan suddenly leaned close to Meng Qingyin and whispered, "By the way, Zhao Lan inherited that man's kindness, but..."
He paused. "Zhao Lan's kindness is too boundless. What's going on? Could that man also be kind to the point of being boundless? But if he really is that kind of person, he wouldn't have killed the five of us, right? This is too contradictory."
This is the problem he has never been able to figure out, that is the kindness that Zhao Lan inherited.
Meng Qingyin's understanding of this question is: "People are born with good and evil. Good or evil is just a thought away. The man gave Zhao Lan kindness, but that doesn't mean he is a purely good person. How do you know he didn't give evil to another person?"
Zhang Yan suddenly realized: "You mean, there's another person who inherited all his malice?"
Meng Qingyin: "This is just my guess. Also, the reason why Zhao Lan displays such unconditional kindness is probably because that man has too little kindness. He simply doesn't know what true kindness is. Kindness isn't about blindly giving in, nor is it about helping everyone unconditionally. It's about helping those who truly need help while preserving yourself."
Her point of view was novel, but Zhang Yan nodded repeatedly. "You make a lot of sense. But can Zhao Lan really break free from the shackles that man has placed on her?"
Although he told Zhao Lan to be brave enough to try, after hearing what Meng Qingyin said, he is now not sure whether Zhao Lan can break free from the shackles.
Zhang Yan spoke in a low voice, worried that Zhao Lan would think of backing out again after hearing it.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Lan still heard it.
But she just smiled and said, "Who can predict what will happen in the future? As long as I have tried my best, I can accept the result no matter what it is."
Zhang Yan was now completely relieved.
The secret talk ended and everyone left one after another.
…
In the afternoon, Qin Feng came.
Her research on demonized leeches has yielded results.
"These demonized leeches can indeed absorb demonic energy, and when they do, they secrete a special substance. This special substance mixes with the blood, preventing the demonic energy from invading the blood. This thing is a natural demonic energy nemesis."
Meng Qingyin asked: "Are these special substances harmful to the human body?"
Qin Feng: "I've done some tests, and the special substance doesn't contain any ingredients that are harmful to the human body. It's safe."
Meng Qingyin felt relieved: "In other words, I don't have to worry about being corroded by demonic energy anymore?"
Qin Feng nodded, his tone inexplicably low: "Yes, I won't be eroded by the devil's energy anymore."
Meng Qingyin noticed that her mood was not right. Qingfeng knew that she was thinking of Chen Sha who died from the erosion of evil spirits.
Qingfeng mouthed to Meng Qingyin to let her go and do her own thing first, and she would come to comfort Qin Feng.
Meng Qingyin nodded. They grew up together, and Qingfeng's words carried more weight than hers. She would definitely be able to appease Qin Feng.
Leaving the space for the two of them, Meng Qingyin went to cook.
Before dinner, Qin Feng had indeed returned to normal.
When she saw the food cooked by Meng Qingyin, she said bluntly that she had "no appetite" and left in a leisurely manner.
Meng Qingyin was very angry.
Although the food she cooked didn’t look very good, it still tasted good!
Qingfeng was very supportive, praising the food for its deliciousness while eating, showing his emotional value to the maximum.
Meng Qingyin felt embarrassed by the praise. She knew her cooking skills very well and was completely unworthy of Qingfeng's words, "the living God of Cooking".
Qingfeng is exaggerating too much.
But I have to say, flattery sounds good, and Meng Qingyin laughed so hard that her cheeks almost stiffened.
As soon as it got dark, Meng Qingyin and Chen Leying arrived at the entrance of the Tongtian Demon Tower.
With my cub around, I don’t have to worry about being attacked by the night demon.
Meng Qingyin has already discussed with Zizi that Zizi will sleep at the entrance of the magic tower tonight in order to scare away the night demon in the dark.
Meng Qingyin and Chen Leying found a relatively secluded place and hid their bodies.
After all, we are here to wait for something to happen, so we can't just stand at the door. It's okay during the day, but it's too unreasonable at night.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, it is better to act in secret.
The two also communicated through watches, but they never waited for the NPC team to arrive.
The two did not let their guard down.
Another half an hour passed, and the cub's ears moved, and it gently patted Meng Qingyin with its paws.
Meng Qingyin immediately understood its meaning and asked in a low voice, "Is someone coming?"
Zizi nodded.
Meng Qingyin and Chen Leying stared at the entrance of the magic tower.
It was pitch black all around, with only the faint light from the lantern at the entrance of the magic tower illuminating the area ahead.
After a while, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
The person was slender and thin, wearing a black robe with a hood covering her face, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.
But judging by her figure, she seemed to be a slender girl.
She held a trident in her hand and walked slowly towards the entrance of the magic tower.
