"I think what Keren said is right. There is no such absurd thing in this world. I decided to go and see it with my own eyes."

Gu Yunru and Kang Keren high-fived each other. Shen Aojun was so scared that his face turned pale. Looking at the two people's frightened expressions, he couldn't help but worry about them.

"Then you two must be careful when you go there."

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

The Imperial Palace.

Rong Zhen and the emperor were playing chess face to face. When the emperor heard what had happened, he was extremely shocked.

"The matter of Kappa is really too strange. Who should investigate this matter?" The emperor was concerned about people's livelihood, so after hearing the news, he immediately handed it over to Rong Zhen.

"We have asked the Minister of Revenue Cui Ping to stop it. Tomorrow is the day for the sacrifice."

As long as someone steps forward to stop the sacrifice, perhaps the rumors will be dispelled.

"Do you think these things were done deliberately?"

The emperor was puzzled. It was too absurd that someone had offended the Kappa and so they had to choose young girls to be sacrificed.

"I don't know yet for now." Rong Zhen said helplessly.

After leaving the palace, Rong Zhen returned all the way back to the mansion.

Seeing that Gu Yunru had prepared a table full of side dishes, Rong Zhen felt quite relieved.

"Why did you think of making some side dishes today?"

Rong Zhen has become the former Gu Yunru, always hanging around some medicine jars or worrying about business matters.

She always did what a wife should do, but he agreed to all of them, probably because he loved her too much.

"Didn't I just remember this? Besides, I haven't cooked for a long time. Come and try my cooking." Gu Yunru enthusiastically pulled him to the table and set the table for him.

"Is there something wrong with you?" Rong Zhen saw through it at a glance. Gu Yunru smiled awkwardly, pulled her lips and sat beside him.

"I said, can't you just hope for me?"

"Just say it if you have something to say."

If someone shows kindness to someone for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Rong Zhen knew this principle very well. He tasted the side dish she cooked and it was delicious and not bad.

"Um... have you heard about the Kappa incident?" Gu Yunru blinked at him. This matter was a hot topic and there was no reason for him not to have heard about it.

"What's wrong?" Rong Zhen looked at her eager expression and realized that she was going to intervene again.

"My business is already stable, isn't it? Thinking of that Kappa, I became more and more curious. I want to see if there are really such ghost things in the world."

Gu Yunru has always been an atheist, but since she traveled to this place, she has become more and more suspicious whether there are many things in this world that she doesn't know.

Rong Zhen looked at her, determined to achieve her goal, and sighed helplessly.

"What's the matter? You don't want me to go?" Gu Yunru asked, shaking his arm. He heard that there would be a sacrificial activity tomorrow, so it would be a good opportunity to see how these fishermen performed the sacrifice.

"Dangerous." Rong Zhen looked at her and said these two words lightly.

"No need. Miss Kang will go with me, and we can bring Qingfeng with us, so we will have two capable assistants." Gu Yunru smiled and walked around in front of him, trying to make him compromise.

"Forget it, if you want to go, I won't stop you." Rong Zhen glanced at her indifferently.

Early the next morning.

Villagers from Lin County came to the riverside one after another to hold a sacrificial ceremony, and the scene was spectacular. Kang Keren and Qingfeng walked side by side behind Gu Yunru, and at a glance, they saw the respectful villagers, all bowing down to the so-called Kappa.

In the crowd, a little girl in a red bellyband was placed on the table. She looked around with confused eyes, obviously not understanding what everyone was doing. The little girl was estimated to be only four or five years old, just learning to walk, and was about to be sacrificed as a kappa.

"What exactly is this so-called Kappa?" Kang Keren held a sword in his hand and looked at the endless lake. The villagers here make a living by fishing. It is heard that there have been storms on the lake recently and many people have capsized and died in the river. Some people said that they were retaliated because they offended the Kappa.

These are just rumors. No one has seen clearly what the monster in the river looks like. Qingfeng put his hands on his arms and felt that the rumors of the people were very suspicious.

"Look!" Gu Yunru looked towards the lake and saw several wizards talking about something. They put the little girl in the red bellyband on a small boat like a gift. There was another woman on the boat. The woman was wearing a black robe and a hat and looked very mysterious.

It seemed to be sending the boat to the center of the reservoir.

“I heard that these people have been performing sacrifices every day. When the incident happened a few days ago, they sacrificed the lives of five girls.”

Qingfeng told Gu Yunru everything he knew, and Gu Yunru was startled. Was this child going to leave innocently?

"Qingfeng, go save her!" Gu Yunru said. Qingfeng obeyed the order and stepped on the water. His lightness skill was very good. He came to the lake quickly and saved the girl.

The villagers watched the girl being rescued and there was a commotion among the crowd, accusing this nosy outsider. At this time, Cui Ping and several honest officials came with people to suppress the situation. They were very angry to see that this group of fishermen actually took human lives so lightly.

"Everyone, please be patient and listen to me carefully!"

Several honest officials stood on the stage and tried to calm everyone down, but they didn't expect that there was a commotion in the crowd and some people even wanted to go against the government. After Qingfeng rescued the child, he caught the woman in black robe.

"Who are you?" Gu Yunru looked at the woman in black robe with thick ink smeared on her face. She should be a wizard or something. She looked at the few people with fear and panic.

"I'm just responsible for delivering gifts to Kappa. I don't know anything."

The woman looked at them in panic, trembling with fear at their gazes that seemed to torture her. Qingfeng was about to interrogate her, but Gu Yunru raised her hand and said, "Forget it, she knows nothing, let her go."

"yes."

After letting the woman go, Kang Keren held the little girl in her arms. The little girl had a pair of shining black eyes, which were very clear and had not been polluted by the world.

"These people are so cruel that they are willing to abandon such a cute child."
