Qin Yunie said angrily, "He has harmed so many girls. Doesn't anyone in the Qing Sect know that he has done such a thing? Or are all the people in their sect like this?"
He shook his head and said, "Based on my understanding of the Quanqing Sect, they admire martial prowess and respect those with high spiritual power. They are not people who cannot distinguish between good and evil."
Meng Po asked cryptically, "You know a lot about the Quanqing Sect?"
“I don’t know much about it, but…” He looked at his hands with trembling eyes, “because every now and then he would give me some medicine so that I could find someone for him. If I didn’t lead the person there, he would deliberately not give me the medicine when the time came to punish me, and he would watch me beg him in pain. In order to get the antidote, I followed him and that’s how I learned some things.”
"Do you know? Feeling your skin slowly fester and ooze pus is incredibly painful. This process is very long. It doesn't kill you outright, but it slowly torments your will, making you want to die but unable to. I've thought about suicide, but I don't have the courage."
Qin Yunie frowned and asked, "You even thought about suicide, but didn't you ever think about getting away from him? Finding someone to make an antidote?"
Hearing this, he became somewhat agitated. "How could I not want to! I dream about it all the time, but his antidote is very well hidden, and I haven't been able to find it. I've also tried to get someone to look into it, but the medicine he gave me is very special. I've been to many stores, but none of them can provide an antidote."
Meng Po astutely pointed out, "Even if you die, you will be punished for harming so many girls, and it won't be much better than what you are now."
His body stiffened at first, then slumped down, as if all his life force had been drained away. He muttered to himself, "I know, I know everything. From the day I helped him, I knew that someone like me would suffer endless torment in hell after I died."
Meng Po's face grew even colder, a cold smile creeping onto her lips as she said mockingly, "What's the use of saying all this now? You should have thought of this day when you decided to make a deal with the devil. Who are you trying to fool now?"
His eyes widened in horror, filled with disbelief and fear, and he asked in a trembling voice, "How...how did you know?"
Meng Po's eyes were as cold as ice as she slowly spoke: "You have a scent on you, the scent left after some kind of sacrifice. Ordinary people can't smell this scent, but it is very familiar to us because this scent is deeply ingrained in our souls."
Qin Yunie was stunned, his face full of astonishment, and he stood there frozen in place.
What does this mean? Does it sound like he's one of the masterminds behind this?
So everything he just said was false?
"You've portrayed yourself as an innocent victim forced to help do those bad things. Do you think we'll let you off the hook? Only you know best how much of what you just said was true and how much was just an act."
"You said you used an invisibility talisman to track Li Changqing, but in reality, you may not know that unless Li Changqing personally tells you how to get there, even if you follow him closely, you will eventually get lost in the Bagua Formation."
"You say you were drugged, but in reality, the people who were actually drugged are probably those poor girls, right? Because to complete this sacrificial ritual, the consent of the person involved is required, otherwise the sacrifice is very likely to end in failure."
"You said you followed him to the warehouse, and the scenes you saw were probably staged by you and him! You took advantage of the fact that everyone's belongings were stolen, and they would instinctively chase after them, leading them to that pavilion you mentioned, where he then dealt with the girls. You two really coordinated well!"
His body began to tremble uncontrollably: "You, how did you know..."
This wasn't an act; he was genuinely scared.
He thought he had covered it up well, but it turned out to be full of holes.
He gave a dejected laugh. "When did you find out?"
Meng Po chuckled softly, "At first, I also thought you simply wanted to steal that wooden box, after all, the talismans inside are quite valuable. But after getting closer to you, smelling that scent, and seeing your performance, I realized it was utterly clumsy."
Thief:"……"
He clenched his teeth, grinding his back teeth hard, his heart filled with resentment and anger. "Then why didn't you expose me in the first place?"
Meng Po seemed oblivious to his emotional shift, admiring her slender, beautiful hands as she continued leisurely, "I also want to hear what happened. Although you've embellished the story, piecing together your words, I can roughly guess what really happened."
Thief:"……"
Seeing that he remained silent, Meng Po slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile. "Alright, now that you've heard the story, let's go. It's time to send you to where you belong."
As she spoke, she conjured a golden rope in her hand and tied him up.
Seemingly knowing that he couldn't defeat Meng Po and that resistance would be useless, he quietly allowed himself to be bound.
Just as Meng Po was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and turned to Qin Yune, saying, "I'm sorry, little Yune, I probably can't go shopping with you today. I'll definitely take you shopping to your heart's content another day!"
Qin Yune shook her head, "It's okay, Sister Meng. You have to go ahead with your business. I'm already very happy that I bought the talisman today."
Meng Po thought for a moment and then nodded, "Alright, I'll send you out of the Ghost Market and call someone to pick you up."
Meng Po held the rope in one hand and pulled him along, with Qin Yune obediently following beside her.
What just happened taught her a lesson.
Don't easily trust anyone, especially strangers who approach you unannounced, because most of what they say is for ulterior motives!
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
And the ghost market is really unsafe!
She really doesn't dare to come to the ghost market alone for the time being.
With this comparison, Qin Yune felt even more that Old Lin was a really good person!
Qin Yune followed Meng Po to the entrance of the Ghost Market.
Meng Po suddenly said, "Just wait."
Qin Yunie didn't say anything and obediently waited for someone to pick her up. After what happened tonight, she felt it was too dangerous for her to travel alone.
The two people and the ghost stood there for a minute or two when a figure suddenly appeared.
Her tall figure, draped in a white cloak, stood out conspicuously in the vast darkness. When she recognized the person, her eyes widened in surprise.
Qin Yune stammered, "King Yama..."
Bringing the cold night wind, Yan Wenjing stopped in front of her.
Qin Yune asked in confusion, "Why have you come?"
Yan Wenjing's gaze swept over her for a moment before he coldly glared at Meng Po. "Meng Po said you've been kidnapped. I've come to check on the situation."
