Xie Lingqin looked at Bai Yu, her eyes suddenly turning cold. "You said you've been to the King of Hell's palace?"
"Well, I wanted to say something when you mentioned the Yama King's Palace before, but at the time I didn't think it was a big deal. Now, I don't know if it will make any difference if I say it."
Xie Lingqin looked at him, gesturing for him to continue.
"That was five years ago. I didn't go there voluntarily. I was arrested because of an innocent victim. I entered the most secret torture chamber in the Yama King's Palace. I can only say that there were the most terrifying torture instruments you can imagine there. I also met the three elders of the Yama King's Palace."
Xie Lingqin's eyes narrowed. "I once heard Yuwen Yao say that the Yama Palace is a complex web of intricate connections. The Palace Master doesn't actually hold the reins of the Yama Palace. The real power lies with the three Elders of the Yama Palace. So, even if a Palace Master dies, they can easily elect another one without any problems. Therefore, you have seen the core essence of the Yama Palace..."
"I didn't see the three elders' true faces. They were too far away, and they were wearing masks. It was also too dark around me at the time, so I could barely see anything before I fainted."
Xie Lingqin's gaze tightened slightly.
"However, before I fainted, I heard two things. The first was that someone came up to report that things at the General's Mansion had been taken care of."
Bai Yu looked at Xie Lingqin and said, "I was confused at the time and didn't know anything. Now that I think about it, I wonder if it was because of the poisoning incident."
How did you escape?
“I don’t know either. When I woke up, I was lying in a mountain stream, surrounded by corpses. I was the only one alive, but my memory is hazy. I’ve been searching for years, but I haven’t found anything.”
"And the second one?"
"It was the Zhang family of Fengnuan City who were wiped out because the patriarch suffered a bout of madness one night," Bai Yu said. As soon as he finished speaking, Tinghai, who had been hiding in the shadows, immediately appeared.
He had been following Xie Lingqin's instructions to secretly watch over General Xie these past few days, but because of Zihe's incident, he saw Xie Lingqin leaving the mansion alone and followed her.
"So, the events that happened to my Zhang family back then might have a great deal to do with the Underworld?"
Tinghai looked at Baiyu, and after a moment, as if realizing something, his gaze hardened. "I understand now. The Zhang family was wiped out because they took in a woman of unknown origin. Afterwards, the woman disappeared without a trace. That woman might be someone from the Underworld, working in cahoots with them..."
He listened to Hai's excited expression, veins throbbing on his forehead, and flames burning in his eyes, which were fixed on Hei Bu Shui, who was talking loudly in the tavern across the street.
"Step back." Xie Lingqin suddenly pulled Tinghai away quickly. "Heibu Shui might not know, so be patient."
Xie Lingqin reminded her in a low voice.
Meanwhile, inside the tavern, Black Cloth Water coldly and warily withdrew its gaze from the teahouse across the street, "Come, come, drink, drink..."
Meanwhile, in a shadowy corner of the teahouse, Xie Lingqin, Bai Yu, and Tinghai stood.
Luckily, I dodged in time.
"If what you say is true, that the Zhang family of Fengnuan City was destroyed by the Yama Palace five years ago, then why? The Yama Palace takes people's money and takes their lives. Who is behind this and wants to kill the Zhang family? These are all questions." Xie Lingqin looked at Tinghai and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, the truth will eventually come out, so for now, let's not alert them."
Tinghai looked at Xie Lingqin and nodded heavily.
"Step down."
"yes."
Tinghai withdrew and hid in the shadows, but Baiyu's eyes remained fixed on Xie Lingqin. "Heibu Shui's martial arts are not weak. You may not succeed in knocking him unconscious and getting information out of him."
"Isn't it you I still have?"
"I?"
Bai Yu pointed to herself, "Can I ask him to tell the truth?"
"And Yu Qingyi too."
Xie Lingqin smiled slightly, raised her finger and pointed to the shadows. The next moment, a figure landed silently.
He looked utterly bored and carefree.
It was Yu Qingyi.
"Why aren't you staying in the Prince Qing's mansion and hiding from Nan Fenghuang? What are you doing here?"
Xie Lingqin glanced at Yu Qingyi from head to toe, full of curiosity.
Yu Qingyi raised an eyebrow, thinking himself invincible in his charm, "What do you mean by avoiding Nan Fenghuang? She should be avoiding me, okay?"
"Aren't you saying this against your conscience?"
"Of course, Nan Fenghuang is too irritable and rude. I just don't want to be disturbed. Can't you see how much I hate her?"
Xie Lingqin's lips twitched.
Bai Yu had an expression of indifference to worldly affairs.
Then, they all spoke in unison.
"I really didn't notice."
Yu Qingyi choked for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Well, the barbarians have ill intentions. Prince Zhuidamu is fond of women, and since this Heibu Shui is Zhuidamu's subordinate, she's influenced by her surroundings. I was afraid she might be suspicious of the women in the capital, so I came to check on her."
"Perhaps he's afraid of Nan Fenghuang's treacherous intentions."
"No way, aren't you a woman?"
"I am your Sister Qin." Xie Lingqin's red lips parted slightly, her voice soft and melodious. Yu Qingyi curled his lips and said, "You ungrateful person, you call yourself Sister Qin? Do you know how much silver I spent on Jinhua Tower during the day? My mother almost kicked me out of the palace."
"Our Tianxia Yiwei restaurant is currently short of waiters."
Bai Yu immediately stepped forward.
Yu Qingyi...
"I am the heir apparent, the overlord of the capital. Can't you give me some face?"
White jade...
Xie Lingqin...
"Hei Bu Shui is leaving, let's follow."
As soon as Xie Lingqin spoke, Yu Qingyi immediately fell silent. Together with Bai Yu, each of them grabbed one of Xie Lingqin's arms and led her down from the rooftop.
"Lord Heibu Shui, the prince will arrive tomorrow. If he finds out that we made things difficult for Miss Xie from the General's Mansion today, will he punish us...?"
