Yuan Xin had initially thought he might be reliable, but upon hearing his words, she was immediately disappointed and pouted. The man was sitting there, and demonic energy was almost enveloping his entire body. Was there really any need to ask for such an obvious answer?
Sure enough, the man spoke up: "It's a demon."
Geng Qi asked, "Demons are divided into demon cultivators, demon cultivators, and spiritual cultivators who have fallen into demonhood. Which category do you belong to?"
The person being questioned looked confused again.
Geng Qi didn't press further, but suddenly took out a one-inch-long golden ox horn from his sleeve. "Do you recognize this?"
The "murderer" shook his head.
"..."
"This thing is the Spirit Horn, which can read your memories."
With a look of utter confusion on his face, Geng Qi's eyes darkened slightly, and he suddenly lowered his voice, asking, "What are you doing in Gefeng Town?"
"kill."
"Who to kill?"
"Li Yao".
"Who sent you?"
"..."
The conversation was interrupted. Geng Qi stared at him for a while, then sighed and stood up: "No need to ask anymore, his memory is incomplete."
It was rare to hear the murderer give a clear response. Compared to his previous confusion, his answer regarding his purpose and goal was very firm. Yuan Xin was eagerly waiting when she saw Geng Qi suddenly stop asking questions. She asked in confusion, "How do you know he has memory loss?"
Geng Qi yawned and said, "It's not that he doesn't want to answer, but that he doesn't know. He doesn't even know the most basic types of demons. If he were lying, he should have known that his lies were useless when he saw the Shuangling Horn, but he still didn't answer. So he really doesn't know. Of course, I'm just guessing. If you don't believe me, try it with the Shuangling Horn. I don't know how to use this thing."
He tossed it aside and turned to leave. Yuan Xin instinctively reached out to catch it, and upon seeing what it was, she immediately roared, "You actually stole my grandmaster's magic weapon! Shameless!"
Geng Qi waved his hand and said, "I borrowed it!"
"..."
As Geng Qi stepped out of the woodshed, he saw a person standing in the courtyard. He looked left and right but couldn't see anyone, and since he couldn't just walk around, he could only approach slowly.
"I'm still using the item; I'll return it to you later."
Rong Yu glanced back and saw glimmers of golden light shining from the woodshed. He nodded slightly.
Geng Qi said, "Aren't you going to ask about the result?"
Rong Yu said, "If they dare to send people here, they won't leave any clues."
"..."
That's the truth.
They erased the man's original memories, only giving him the hint to kill; his mind was probably left with only the mission.
But when Rong Yu said this, it made Geng Qi, who had been so excited to borrow Shuang Lingjiao to investigate the case, lose face!
The male lead's intelligence is overwhelming?
Feeling an unspoken awkwardness, Geng Qi rubbed his itchy nose and asked, feigning surprise, "Where's Qing Han?"
Rong Yu glanced at the backyard: "It's getting late, I told him to go and rest."
"Then why don't you go and rest?"
"..."
He looked at himself without speaking, and Geng Qi understood: "Are you worried about Miss Su?"
Rong Yu looked away and gently shook his head.
Geng Qi stared at him in surprise, "Aren't you worried about her?"
Rong Yu said, "If she is alright, there is no need to worry. If something happens to her, worrying will be useless."
"..."
Shouldn't the male and female leads be madly in love? Shouldn't the male lead be frantic with worry when the female lead goes missing?
Is he feigning composure? Or has the relationship between the male and female leads not yet developed to that level?
Geng Qi suddenly realized that the male and female protagonists probably hadn't known each other for very long at this point. Given their current relationship, the sweet romance between them, the forbidden love between the grandmaster and grand-disciple...tsk tsk! Just thinking about it is quite exciting!
His wild imagination was suddenly interrupted by the figure that came into view. Yang Tianhui glanced in the direction of the woodshed, which was directly facing the two people in the courtyard. He bowed to Rong Yu and greeted him: "Master."
Rong Yu nodded slightly.
Geng Qi smiled at him and said, "Senior Yang, shall we head back to the inn?"
Yang Tianhui said, "With the sect disciple missing, I fear there may be further trouble. I should go back and guard the place. Please keep the young master's body in the manor and take care of it."
With that, he turned and left the mansion.
Watching the person disappear at the gate of the mansion, Geng Qi suddenly curled his lips: "The disciples of Tianzhi Sect and Yandan Sect each disappeared at the same time. Those murderers are quite fair!"
These words carried a deeper meaning. Rong Yu turned his head and asked, "You suspect him?"
The question was so direct that Geng Qi was taken aback, and his gaze met Geng Qi's.
Those eyes were clear and bright, showing no sign of doubt. For some reason, Geng Qi had the idea of testing him and said, "That person in the woodshed clearly used spiritual power in the Li family. His strength suddenly increased. How could a dull and obedient person suddenly go crazy when he was walking on the street?"
At that time, apart from the two disciples of Tianzhi Sect with low spiritual power who were holding him down, the only person who was closest to him and actually fought with that person was Yang Tianhui!
Geng Qi stared intently into Rong Yu's eyes, trying to discern all his emotional changes, but he couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Will this person believe him?
