Chapter 586 Adu's Secret
Yun Qingqing left the Yama Palace and headed straight to the east of Fengdu City.
She was carrying the Ghost King's Order, and when she passed through the city gate, the guarding ghosts were so frightened that they nodded and bowed, and invited her to a place that looked like a VIP room and served her tea and water.
Yun Qingqing was very grateful, but she refused to eat it without hesitation. The food in the underworld was for ghosts, so the living had no need to try it.
The little ghost said tremblingly that although she had the Ghost King's order, she had no power to release him. She had to report to her superiors and then make the decision.
He made sure not to make Yun Qingqing wait too long, and she didn't make things difficult for these little ghosts and sat for a while.
Fortunately, the commander guarding the city gate appeared soon. After seeing the Ghost King's order, he let her pass without saying a word and politely asked her to say a few good words for him to Lord Yama.
Yun Qingqing passed through the city gate smoothly and walked towards Wangchuan.
The Forgotten River can be seen not far from the city, and the riverside is a sea of red spider lilies that spreads endlessly to both ends.
She walked forward for a while and saw a girl in green clothes walking through the sea of flowers from afar. She bent down from time to time to pick something. It was A'du.
Yun Qingqing walked over, and A'du also heard the noise. He turned around and saw her, and immediately came forward to greet her.
"...Lord Yun, why are you here?" The little girl, holding a basket in her hand, walked up to her and lowered her eyes slightly. She looked shy as usual and didn't dare to look her in the eye.
But Yun Qingqing had seen her holding the Judge's Pen, suppressing the demonized Judge's Seal with a wave of her hand, and easily subduing thousands of evil spirits.
This little girl has never been a simple character.
Yun Qingqing glanced at A'Du and asked casually:
"Are you collecting the stamens of the cristata?"
A'Du tightened the basket with both hands and nodded:
"Hmm... this flower stamen is one of the ingredients for Meng Po soup. I'll help pick some and send them to Naihe Bridge."
After she finished explaining, she looked up at Yun Qingqing quickly, then lowered her eyes again:
"Um... Lord Yun came here, is there something you want to tell me?"
Yun Qingqing took out the small black stone mirror used for communication with the underworld and showed it to her:
"Do you have this thing?"
A'Du was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and said:
"Well... yes, but I don't have it with me."
"That's good," Yun Qingqing said, "I want to ask you for a favor."
"Please, please tell me. As long as A'Du can do it, I will do my best." A'Du responded in a soft voice.
"Okay, I want you to help me monitor someone..."
Yun Qingqing explained it in detail.
After hearing this, A'Du was a little surprised and whispered:
"You suspect...that there's something wrong with that person?"
Yun Qingqing's expression was somewhat serious:
"This matter is special. It is very inconvenient for me to deploy it in the mortal world. Among the people I can trust in the underworld, you are the only one who has this ability. I hope the young lady can help me."
A'Du nodded repeatedly, flattered and said:
"You, you are too polite. Just leave this matter to me. I... I will definitely not let you down."
"Thank you very much." Yun Qingqing nodded and left casually.
Before leaving, she was silent for a moment, then bowed solemnly and said:
"Thank you, Lord Yan Jun. I will take my leave now."
A'du's mind was full of what he had just been asked to do.
Consciousness nodded:
"Ah, okay, Miss Yun, take your time..."
She was halfway through her speech when she suddenly stopped talking, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes:
"No, no, Master Yun, how could you...how could I be..."
Yun Qingqing looked at her with a half-smile:
"Stop pretending. You really are Lord Yan. Otherwise, as a subordinate, when you suddenly heard Lord Yan's name, shouldn't you have thought he was coming? But you responded subconsciously."
A'Du's face flushed and he stammered:
"I was just, I was just... just distracted..."
Yun Qingqing raised her hand and made a gesture, and suddenly a ball of light appeared in A'du's sleeve and flew out through her cuffs.
A'Du looked at the glowing little bead, his face froze, and he was completely speechless.
Yun Qingqing took the light bead in her hand, erased the tiny formation inside, and said:
"I'm sorry, I did something to this crystal of the Moonflower. If you still want to deny your identity, can you explain why the thing I just gave to Lord Yan is in your hands?"
A'Du lowered his head, his voice as soft as a mosquito:
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to lie to you..."
Yun Qingqing looked at her doubtfully for a moment, then sighed softly:
"You didn't do anything bad to me, so you don't have to apologize. I just don't understand...what's going on?"
In fact, Yun Qingqing felt that this matter was a bit confusing and she didn't know where to start.
The girl is Adu's true appearance, so why does she dress up as Fengdu Jun?
Is there someone else who plays the role of Lord Fengdu... In other words, when Lord Fengdu first became Lord Yama, was it A'du himself who played the role, or was she the one who took his place later?
Also, the Lord of the Underworld is actually a young girl. Do other people in the Underworld know about this?
Most importantly…
Why would Lord Yan himself condescend to disguise himself as the judge's apprentice and go to great lengths to help him?
Yun Qingqing started to notice something was wrong when A'du easily suppressed the rebellious judge and took back the judge's seal in Beicang last time.
At that time, her spiritual pupils discovered a special aura from A'du.
She had seen the same aura once before in Yama Palace.
That was the time when Yun Qingqing brought Ahan to the underworld to borrow the Reincarnation Mirror. At that time, she was interrogating Cang Gu's soul, but the soul suddenly exploded. It was King Yan who directly suppressed the explosion in his hand.
It was only at that moment that the aura on Yan Jun suddenly changed, and Yun Qingqing was able to catch a glimpse of the extremely powerful and special aura.
She didn't think much of it at the time, until she saw the same aura on A'du, she began to connect the details.
Including the time when her eyes were bitten by the Samsara Mirror, the tone of Lord Yan when he apologized helplessly was exactly the same as that of the always cautious A'du.
Even later, when A'du appeared for the first time to guide her who was temporarily blind, A'han's behavior was a little subtle. He always called her "A'du".
Now that I think about it, this overly clever kid clearly called out "Adu", the "du" in Fengdu Jun...
In fact, when Yun Qingqing first discovered it, although she was confused, she restrained herself and did not intend to delve into it.
It was not until the palace was attacked at night that the King of Hell actually sent the Black and White Impermanence to lend her the Book of Life and Death. This was really beyond her imagination.
Fengdu Jun...or Adu, must have a connection with herself. Yun Qingqing finally decided to find out what was going on, so she took today's opportunity to test him.
She looked at the little girl in front of her with a flushed face, head lowered and almost crying, and she didn't know what to feel.
Who could have imagined that Lord Yan would actually cry in front of him? This feeling was too unreal.
Yun Qingqing sighed, stepped forward, took A'Du's hand, patted it gently, and said in a gentle voice:
"I don't mean to force you. Do you... have any unavoidable difficulties?"
A'Du trembled slightly when she held his hand. He took a deep breath, raised his eyes and looked at Yun Qingqing. As if he had made up his mind, he spoke softly:
"I haven't told anyone about this, but... I'm willing to tell you."
