The hairpin was taken away, so he specially found a weapon refiner to repair it. He didn't add anything extra, and even the magic array on the hairpin was restored. The ball of light, whose purpose was unknown, was stuffed back into the hollow end of the hairpin. He just added another layer of illusion array, so it looked just like an ordinary hairpin, and ordinary people shouldn't be able to see it.
But Leng Ning Shuang not only saw it, but also planned to tear it apart. Geng Qi hurriedly snatched the hairpin away, "Sister Mei, please have mercy!"
Seeing how he was protecting it like a treasure, Leng Ning Shuang couldn't help but frown: "Where did it come from?"
"It was a gift from someone else."
"A gift?" Leng Ning Shuang laughed. "Do you know what this is? Once you get your hands on something like this, who would give it away?"
Geng Qi was taken aback, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "You recognize this thing?"
"The righteous forces have poured all their strength into attacking my demon realm, and they're even scrambling for the last fragments. How could I not recognize it?"
"Then is this really the sacred object they're looking for?" Geng Qi held up the hairpin in his hand.
"A sacred object?" Leng Ning Shuang scoffed. "They probably haven't even seen what it looked like when it was intact!"
Geng Qi asked, "What's the use of this thing?"
Leng Ning Shuang suddenly fell silent, glanced at him with a complicated expression, and looked away, saying, "It's still useful after all. Take out your bone whip."
Geng Qi, puzzled, raised his hand, and the Phoenix Tail Bone Whip appeared on his wrist.
He watched as the person broke the magic array, drawing out the ball of light and moving it onto Feng Yuan. The misty substance gradually melted into it.
"The Phoenix Kite lives on your blood and bones. This thing is fused into its body, just like it is fused into your body. You must never let it leave your body easily, understand?"
Geng Qi knew she was usually serious, and it was rare for her to be so solemn, so he didn't argue with her, but nodded and said "Mmm".
Feng Yuan slipped back into his sleeve. Once he got used to it, Feng Yuan was as easy to control as his limbs, and he never felt anything amiss. Now, after merging with the mist and retracting it into his body, it felt like sweet spring water seeping into parched land, giving him an indescribable sense of comfort. Geng Qi couldn't help but look up in astonishment.
Leng Ning Shuang was still frowning and deep in thought. For the first time ever, this usually carefree person felt a sense of guilt.
In the vast Demon Palace, Jie Beiying couldn't manage things, Qing Han wouldn't manage things, and he never did. Mu Shan hadn't even said a word. Even though the Demon Realm wasn't as rule-bound as the righteous sects, there were still some trivial matters. It was quite remarkable that this woman could hold up the Demon Palace.
Just as she was about to speak, Leng Ning Shuang suddenly snapped back to reality: "Where did you get this thing from?"
Geng Qi: "..."
The gift was indeed a gift from someone else, but if I told that it was from the young sect leader of the Tianzhi Sect, I would inevitably get another scolding.
Would he dare? No, he wouldn't!
Just as he was about to find an excuse to get out of it, suddenly a black crow cried out and flew in through the gate of the Ziming Palace. It was completely black and turned into a cloud of black mist in the palace, revealing a human shape.
Unlike the dark shadow in the alley of Gefeng Town, this was a real person.
"Kiyama? He's back?"
"yes."
He had a cold and aloof demeanor, and a deep, bone-revealing scar on his left cheek that stretched down to his jawline, adding a touch of ferocity to his expressionless face. Yet, his expression was extremely respectful.
Geng Qi asked, "How is it?"
Mu Shan said, "After Rong Yu returned to the sect, he went into seclusion on Shangxu Peak?"
"He's in seclusion?" Geng Qi suddenly widened his eyes.
"yes."
"..."
Geng Qi frowned.
Do you really not want to see him?
Or was it that his actions on Mount Pipi had truly annoyed him?
He still held the jade hairpin in his hand, and it felt a little rough when he applied slight pressure. He calmed down and asked, "What else did you find out?"
"Rong Yu appeared at Kaopan Mountain when he was being chased and killed."
This was the most important thing the Demon Lord had him investigate.
"Being chased?" Geng Qi exclaimed in surprise, "Who is it?"
"royal."
"..."
Why are the royal family members chasing Rong Yu? He's only seven or eight years old!
A thought vaguely arose in his mind, and Geng Qi asked, "What was Rong Yu's identity before he joined the Tianzhi Sect?"
Mu Shan's expression remained unchanged: "He is from the royal family."
"..."
Geng Qi's lips twitched slightly. Royal family members hunting down members of the royal family? How melodramatic!
Has he stumbled upon some kind of palace intrigue drama?
He left Leng Ning Shuang aside, his gaze shifting between Mu Shan and Geng Qi, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you ask him to investigate Rong Yu?"
Geng Qi replied perfunctorily, "It's just... curiosity."
"curious?"
Seeing his obvious distrust and his refusal to speak, Leng Ning Shuang turned her gaze to the other side and said, "Qing Han, tell me... why are you standing so far away!"
When she stopped scolding, taking advantage of the argument between the two, Qinghan had already led the scorpion to a corner of the hall, wishing he could stay as far away from the battlefield as possible.
Suddenly glared at, Qinghan froze. "I...I'm afraid of caterpillars."
"..."
There was a moment of silence in the Ziming Palace. Leng Ning Shuang's alluring eyes widened even more, and she immediately smiled kindly, saying, "Who are you calling a 'caterpillar'?"
Qinghan was chilled by her laughter and subconsciously stepped back, bumping into a familiar embrace. Turning to the side, she met Jie Beiying's lifeless eyes and immediately felt safe and relaxed.
Jie Beiying placed one hand across Qing Han's body and pressed it against him, saying, "He's always been afraid of insects, so why are you scaring him?"
