"Ying'er, do you remember what the masked man looked like? Does he have any obvious characteristics?" Ning Hai asked.
What happened today is definitely not simple. He will continue to investigate and will not let Ying'er suffer in vain.
Yan Ying looked at Ning Hai and shook her head. "I don't remember. He was always wearing a black veil, so I couldn't see his face clearly. He was very cautious and blindfolded me when he tied me up, so I didn't see anything."
That person was from the Demon Realm, and Cen Ji was still in the house. She couldn't tell anyone about this, so as not to implicate everyone.
If she revealed that Cen Ji was colluding with the Demon Realm, Cen Ji might go all out in anger and kill everyone in the house...
"Lin'er, what do you think?" Ning Hai's gaze fell on Wu Lin.
"Master, I have deduced that he is from the Demon Realm. He hid in the mountains and forests and suddenly attacked with the clear purpose of capturing my junior sister. But I don't know what exactly he wants to do." Wu Lin answered truthfully.
Wu Lin glanced at Mu Siyue who was standing at the door.
Mu Siyue returned to the inn earlier than them. She clearly saw her junior sister being kidnapped with her own eyes, but she did not inform her master about it in advance. Instead, everyone found out about it after they came back.
Moreover, when the masked man attacked, he chose to attack Mu Siyue, which made it impossible for him not to be suspicious.
"Junior Sister Mu, my junior sister was with you when she was abducted by the man in black. Did you see the man in black clearly?"
The room was unusually quiet for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on Mu Siyue.
Mu Siyue looked at Wu Lin calmly and said, "I was attacked by a masked man at the time and didn't see clearly."
"Since the masked man injured Junior Sister Mu, why didn't Junior Sister Mu tell everyone about this after returning to the inn?" Wu Lin continued to ask.
"She told me about this." Cang Jinglan, who was standing aside, spoke slowly.
"You guys came back before I had the chance to inform everyone." Mu Siyue said without changing her expression.
She really didn't expect Yan Ying to come back alive.
It is true that the masked man is from the Demon Realm. His cultivation is definitely higher than Yan Ying's. How could he let Yan Ying go so easily?
Mu Siyue had just returned and delayed for some time before telling her master about this. Cang Jinglan's face looked very ugly when he learned about this.
He also repeatedly asked her about the whereabouts of the masked man, but she said she knew nothing.
She couldn't understand why her master cared so much about Yan Ying, even though he had only taught her magic for a month...
And there is Cen Ji. Cen Ji did not hesitate to leave her alone outside the city to save Yan Ying today.
What happened to them? Why were they so protective of Yan Ying? Have they really forgotten what kind of person Yan Ying is?
"Fortunately, nothing serious happened." Ning Hai sighed.
He brought them to Fuzhou, and no matter which of his disciples had an accident, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"Junior sister, you have a good rest. Master, we will go back first." Wu Lin said as he pulled Bai Huanzhi and He Qing out of the house.
Something was strange about what happened today, and he had to talk to his senior brother about it.
After the three left, Mu Siyue and Cang Jinglan also left one after another.
"Cen Ji, you should be in the sect, why are you here?" Ning Hai asked Cen Ji with his neck tilted.
"It is the disciple who presumptuously..."
"I asked him to come," Yan Ying interrupted Cen Ji. "He has my sound transmission ring. I sent him a message when I was kidnapped by the masked man."
Although the hateful Cen Ji wanted to kill her, the master could not reprimand Cen Ji because Cen Ji would hold a grudge. It was enough for him to take revenge on her, and he could not bear a grudge against the master again.
Cen Ji listened to Yan Ying's words and turned his head to look at her. His lips were slightly pale because of the excessive bleeding, and his eyes reflected the shadow of the person on the bed.
"Master, I will return to the sect immediately." Cen Ji said with his head down.
He will not return to the sect because he has something to explain to the little ghost.
It feels really bad to be wronged.
His hand hurt, but he didn't care. He felt even worse in his heart. The way the little ghost avoided him just now really hurt him.
The little ghost hadn't even looked at him until now. He had never seen her so indifferent.
Didn't she say she had been with him for many years? She had clearly said that she loved him that night, but why didn't she believe him?
From the moment he knew she was not Yan Ying, he never thought of lying to her.
Is he a madman in her heart who will take her life at any time?
In her eyes, who was he? How many of the words she said to him that night were true?
"Go ahead. After returning to the sect, go to Baicao Peak for treatment immediately." Ning Hai waved his hand.
This disciple named Cen Ji is probably not as simple as he seems...
Cen Ji turned and left the room. Ning Hai also left after giving Yan Ying a few instructions.
The room suddenly became empty, and Yan Ying sat on the bed motionless.
She was so confused...
She couldn't figure out where she went wrong and why Cen Ji suddenly wanted to kill her?
[System: Host, stop imagining things. Why don't you go ask him?]
"Go ask Cen Ji? It would be better to die here than to be killed by him."
Yan Ying really didn't want to be pointed at with a knife again. She never wanted to experience that terrifying feeling again.
"Why can't you ask me?"
Yan Ying suddenly looked up and saw Cen Ji standing in her room. He was back!
Yan Ying stood up from the bed and looked at Cen Ji with a wary look on her face.
It's over... He's here to kill and silence the witnesses.
Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying's frightened expression, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart. She still didn't believe him.
"Don't come over here!" Yan Ying hurriedly pulled out a dagger from her waist.
"Just don't you want to listen to my explanation?" Cen Ji frowned, his deep pupils flickering faintly.
"What's there to explain? There's no one else who has the same voice as you, right? Didn't you say that?" Yan Ying pointed the dagger in her hand at Cen Ji.
When she heard that, she felt a frustration she had never felt before.
Silence was not something she could change; she had always been overestimating herself.
"I said it." Cen Ji lowered his eyes and stroked the sound transmission ring with his fingers.
That's what he said, but it wasn't what she heard.
"Then what else is there to explain?"
"Cen Ji, I can't understand why you want to kill me?" Yan Ying's eyes were red and her voice was trembling.
"I want to explain to you, but will you believe me?" Cen Ji took a step forward.
"Don't come over! I'm going to call for help!" Yan Ying hurriedly took a few steps back along the wall.
Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying helplessly, as she looked very alert.
This is what it feels like to not be trusted.
"Kid, you told me that you liked me that night, but was it true?" Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying's reaction.
She said she stayed by his side and accompanied him through those difficult days and nights, but even so she didn't understand him at all. It seemed that those words were lies to him.
Yan Ying bit her lip and said nothing. Why was he asking her these questions? He was about to kill her, so why did he still care about her thoughts?
"Answer me."
