what happened"?
How did you end up in such a sorry state?
"It's like there's a ghost chasing you..." Sister Lin's voice caught Ye Ying's eye, but Yingbao continued her search without showing any emotion.
"Xiao Jun, step back..."
"Xiao Jun, how's the matter I asked you to handle going?"
"Xiao Jun, you and Xiao Jin go to... that place..."
“Xiao Jun…”
Xiao Jun, Xiao Jun, and countless other scenes like this, Ye Ying continued to watch them with great interest, taking in each and every one of them.
Soul Searching—searching through Xiao Jun's memories, not missing a single opportunity, when suddenly, a man wearing a black mask in the scene caught Ye Ying's attention.
"The Ring of the Stars? The Ring of the Moon? You haven't found them yet, you useless trash." The man wearing a black mask angrily waved his hand at Sister Lin, Xiao Jun, Xiao Jin, Xiao Mu... five or six people, and the toxins in their bodies spread, like thousands of ants swirling inside them.
The men scrambled to their feet, knelt down, and begged for mercy, saying, "Please spare our lives, sir... please spare our lives, sir..."
Upon seeing this scene, Ye Ying subconsciously clutched the Star Ring on her hand, which no one else could see. It seemed that, for the sake of secrecy, she would temporarily put it in her spatial storage to avoid the limelight.
...
In an instant, Ye Ying secretly moved the Star Ring to the four-leaf clover space, and then she continued to watch the following scene:
The masked man continued, "How many years have you bunch of good-for-nothings been searching for the Star Ring? There's still no news. You're utterly useless and stupid."
"My lord, it is truly our fault that we were unable to find it due to our limited abilities. It is our negligence."
"What a joke? Can you really escape responsibility with just a word of negligence?" the masked man asked mercilessly.
…………
The men were tortured until their veins bulged, their faces contorted in agony, and they even contemplated suicide. However, their limbs were weak and powerless, and they couldn't muster any strength.
They looked as if they were about to die at any moment, half-dead and half-alive.
This truly proves the old saying: "Neither alive nor dead, half-alive, with one's fate entirely in the hands of others."
Ye Ying meticulously examined every detail, not missing a single frame, but in the end she still couldn't see what the masked man looked like, only his voice.
I did see Sister Lin's face. It turns out she is a woman from the Song family. It's a pity she was disfigured. People outside say she is weak and incompetent, and easily bullied. She has no demeanor of the Song family at all. I don't understand why the head of the Song family would marry her.
Ye Ying thought this person was quite intelligent and cunning. Otherwise, how could a woman with a disfigured face get the head of the Song family to marry her?
Could there be some ulterior motive involved?
Seeing the images in Xiao Jun's mind, Ye Ying became even more certain that this Sister Lin was no ordinary person; she actually knew martial arts. You must know that most women in this era were housewives, pampered young ladies, or women and girls with profound cultural backgrounds.
Few women possess such formidable skills. Furthermore, Ye Ying witnessed the masked man's contest with Sister Lin, where they were using… spiritual power?
Didn't Master say that spiritual energy is scarce in this era and there are no cultivators?
What is this?!
Surely she couldn't be hallucinating.
Seeing that Xiao Jun had grasped all the clues in his mind, Ye Ying disappeared in an instant, and the next minute, she was already in her room.
