“The one who sent us here was…” Chun Jiu Niang opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, and she shook her head desperately with her hands on her head, her face full of terror.
"What's wrong with you?" Zu An's heart sank.
Just then, Chun Jiu Niang's head suddenly exploded like a watermelon.
Zuan: "..."
Even though he had been in this world for a long time and was used to fighting and killing, he still felt a little physically uncomfortable seeing this scene.
He forced himself to examine Chun Jiu Niang's body. It wasn't poison or any kind of Gu worm. Could it be some kind of spiritual imprint?
These top assassins were unknowingly implanted with this mental imprint, which would trigger self-destruction if they were to reveal any secrets.
The perpetrator is truly vicious and ruthless. Could it be that the Shadow Pavilion is capable of such a feat?
With a casual flick of his hand, a wisp of flame enveloped Chun Jiu Niang's body, quickly burning her to ashes.
This woke up the other assassin, lest he realize something upon seeing Chun Jiu Niang's miserable state and dare not reveal any other information.
Then he used the same words he had used on Chun Jiu Niang again, and sure enough, the other party quickly broke down and confessed.
But just as he was about to speak, Zu'an stopped him: "I'll ask, you answer."
The assassin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"I won't ask about your organization's intelligence, I'll only ask about this employer. Do you know who they are?" Zuan stared at him intently, pondering the triggering conditions of the mental imprint, trying his best to avoid it.
“I know, he’s a…” The assassin breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn’t betray the organization, he wouldn’t feel so much psychological pressure.
Who knew that halfway through the conversation, his head would explode like a watermelon again.
Zuan: "???"
Can't I say this?
Burn his body again, then wake the next one.
"Don't speak this time, just answer my questions."
"good."
Is the employer male or female?
"yes……"
Bang!
Zuan: "..."
With a numb expression, he moved on to the next one.
"You don't need to say anything next, just nod or shake your head."
"The employer is a man?"
Shake head.
Bang!
Zuan: "???"
What's going on? They can't even answer this most basic question?
Wake up another one.
"The female employer should be a woman, right? Is she from...?"
Shake head.
Bang!
Zuan: "..."
Why did he shake his head before I even finished speaking, and then he exploded?
From the moment we left until now, we haven't gotten any information out of them, and most of these assassins are already dead.
He recalled his question from earlier, and suddenly an idea struck him.
Then wake up the last one.
"Is the employer a... eunuch?"
The assassin was taken aback, then nodded subconsciously.
Then bang!
Zuan casually burned his body, even burning away the blood foam on the ground.
Only then did they return to the house, by which time Xie Daoyun had cooled down considerably.
Zu An was about to help her up when Xie Daoyun's shy voice came as he touched her cold skin: "Brother Zu, I'm awake now. I can get up by myself."
"good."
Zuan walked to the outer room, casually waved his hand, and pulled the screen between the two, blocking their view. He began to ponder the information he had just obtained. Could it be...?
Xie Daoyun glanced at the indistinct figure behind the screen, her expression somewhat resentful. How could Brother Zu stay in someone else's room while they were changing clothes?
However, considering that he had seen everything about her, both what she should and shouldn't have seen, and even touched her, there was no point in thinking about it anymore.
She had no choice but to grab a towel and quickly wipe her body before hastily putting on her clothes.
Achoo!
Hearing her sneeze, Zu'an said, "Did your little sister catch a cold just now?"
"It's a bit cold." Xie Daoyun was a little embarrassed. She had just pretended to faint and had to stay in the pool the whole time, but she was actually freezing cold.
“You’ve been fluctuating between hot and cold today. You might be a little weak and sick in the next couple of days. Take care of yourself.” Zu An thought for a moment and then took out a few more nourishing pills. With his current status, he would receive certain pills every month. They were standard for officials and nobles. Although they weren’t particularly precious, they were effective in all situations.
"Yes, thank you, Brother Zu." Xie Daoyun came to his side, her head lowered and her face still flushed. She had just been so embarrassed that she wanted to faint again just thinking about it.
She quickly changed the subject: "By the way, you seemed to be interrogating those assassins outside just now. Did you get anything out of them?"
"Didn't you just faint?" Zu An asked with a half-smile.
Xie Daoyun: "..."
I'd rather just die, ahhh!
She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I vaguely heard some things after I woke up later."
Zuan didn't expose her, and then gave a general account of the information she had just obtained from the interrogation.
"He's actually a eunuch?" Xie Daoyun was very surprised, because it meant a lot.
Seeing Zu An's somber expression, she tentatively asked, "What are you thinking, Brother Zu?"
Seeing that she hadn't dried off the water, causing her clothes to stick to her clothes and become somewhat transparent, Zu An felt his blood surge again.
Without answering, she ran straight into the ice water pool and soaked in it, letting out a comfortable sigh.
"Brother Zu, what's wrong?" Xie Daoyun was startled, her heart pounding. She had just been in that pool, and Brother Zu had actually been soaking in it with her...
