Chapter 163 Yang Zishen Can Run

Even though Lin Qingyue and the Ye family's steward tried their best to persuade them, the Ye family's guards still arrested her and Duan Xiaofeng and put them in the Ye family's prison.

Lin Qingyue hugged his arms and trembled, aiming at the immortal cultivator's cell.

The cell was set up with a formation to block out spiritual energy, and the climate in Beizhou was extremely cold. Without spiritual energy to absorb, Lin Qingyue didn't want to consume the spiritual power in his body.

Lin Qingyue could only put on all the clothes in the storage ring, becoming a bloated ball, praying that he could withstand the severe cold.

Duan Xiaofeng in the next cell cried out for half an hour that he was innocent, but no one paid any attention to him. He has been lying quietly on the ground pretending to be a corpse for a long time.

Lin Qingyue could see his vital signs in the system, and he was still in a weak state.

I'm sorry, my friend. I didn't know that ugly tree was so precious. The Ye family even planted it outside the guest room. If I had the chance to do it again, I would smash the core on Duan Xiaofeng's head instead of the tree...

Lin Qingyue's situation is miserable, and the interstellar people in the comment section are laughing.

[Why does such an ugly tree cost 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones? Even if I sold the anchor, it wouldn't be enough.]

[Hahahahaha, the key point is that the Ye family's steward, did you see him? He was wearing a hat, and when he jumped up in fright, his sparse hair showed through his big bald head.]

[Should the anchor escape from prison? What if the Ye family wants to kill the anchor? ]

[The anchor is finished, and will have to work for the Ye family for the rest of his life.]

[It's so miserable. I have to work for the system and the NPCs.]

The sound of chains rang out, and a burst of warmth spread in. As the visitor closed the door, the remaining warmth was also dispelled by a large amount of coldness.

There were a lot of footsteps, not just one person.

Lin Qingyue struggled repeatedly over whether to stuff the clothes back in, but finally just fell to the ground and got torn apart.

Whatever. I'm already a prisoner, so why should I care about face?

The familiar butler's sharp, flattering voice came, "Butler Ye, you have no idea how arrogant those two are. They damaged the silver-clad fruit tree we had so much trouble moving, and that damned girl is still trying to get us to let her accomplices go. Even if they are accomplices, they must have conspired together. The chief steward cannot let them go!"

The man called Ye Da Zongguan was tall, with an elegant face, and his cold star-like eyes were the most eye-catching.

Ye Jing looked down at the steward and asked, "How did they know this news? Are they spies sent by other families?"

The steward said, "Xiao Wu was familiar with the man before. He said he was from out of town and came to the Ye family to buy goods and do business. The woman is unfamiliar. Maybe those two people have been bribed by other families a long time ago, and they came here just to test our bottom line."

The footsteps stopped, and Lin Qingyue looked up and exchanged glances with the others.

Ye Jing was shocked when he saw the girl's face, "She really doesn't look like a good person."

Lin Qingyue, who was haggard due to the torture of sword intent:???

Lin Qingyue couldn't help but say, "I don't think you're a good person either."

Ye Jing smiled: "A good person is a broad concept. Only those who treat others well are good to themselves. From the perspective of the Ye family, Miss Lin is indeed a... bad person."

The steward brought a chair for Ye Jing to sit down. Lin Qingyue sat against the wall and listened to them go next door to interrogate Duan Xiaofeng. Ye Jing came to interrogate her again.

Ye Jing: "Which family is Miss Lin from? If you tell me, I can spare your life."

Lin Qingyue: "From Qingjing Town."

Ye Jing: "Miss Lin, you don't have to lie. Or let me put it another way. Is Miss Lin a spy sent by the Fu family, the He family, or the Yu family?"

Lin Qingyue's eyes were confused and speechless. "No? I just felt like it. I really didn't expect that ugly tree to be so expensive!"

Ye Jing coughed and corrected her: "That's the Silver Flower and Fruit Tree."

Lin Qingyue: "I really didn't expect it to be a silver-clad flower and fruit tree, but it doesn't bear any fruit?"

Ye Jing: "The Silver Flower Fruit Tree bears fruit only once every fifty years and is extremely valuable."

Lin Qingyue fell silent, but there was still the sharp voice of the steward beside him.

"You also said that you have nothing to do with her, and that you two are in the same group."

Lin Qingyue: "I'm not a spy."

Ye Jing: "How do you want to prove it, Miss Lin?"

Lin Qingyue: "I can swear an oath against my inner demons."

Ye Jing looked at Lin Qingyue and extended his hand: "Please, Miss Lin."

After Lin Qingyue made the oath to her inner demon, Ye Jing saw that she did not suffer any backlash and knew that what she said was true.

Ye Jing stopped the steward and said, "Let that man go. He didn't do it."

The steward opened the door impatiently: "You're lucky."

Duan Xiaofeng walked past Lin Qingyue with his head down. Lin Qingyue had already gone from sitting to lying on the ground.

At some point, everyone else followed him out, leaving only Lin Qingyue and Ye Jing in the cell.

Lin Qingyue: "I can compensate you."

Ye Jing shook his head, "The Ye family is not short of money."

"Is that so good? Just let me out?" Lin Qingyue couldn't wait to sit up, but Ye Jing's next words extinguished her anger.

"But Miss Lin can't leave yet."

Lin Qingyue frowned: "You don't want money, why don't you let me go?"

Ye Jing took out a jade pendant that was familiar to Lin Qingyue. Lin Qingyue hurriedly felt around his body but found nothing.

"Why is it here?"

Ye Jing shook the jade pendant and said slowly, "Miss Lin, won't you explain? What exactly is the purpose of the Ziyang Sword Sect?"

Lin Qingyue: "What purpose? Return the jade pendant to me!"

Ye Jing: "Miss Lin, there's no need to pretend with me. Tell me your plan!"

“I don’t know anything.” Lin Qingyue: …

"I really don't know about that plan..." Ye Jing looked at him with a light-hearted look, and Lin Qingyue immediately changed his words: "Okay, I do have a mission."

Ye Jing: "What mission?"

Lin Qingyue wore a mask of pain, "You also know that I came from Qingjing Town. At that time, I was a commoner girl from a poor family. Suddenly one day——"

Ye Jing interrupted her expressionlessly: "Get to the point."

Lin Qingyue: "Okay, my mission is to find the fortune teller who leaked the Qingjing Town's magic weapon, the Qingjing, and bring him back to face punishment."

Lin Qingyue saw the man in front of him lowering his eyes and thinking, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not.

Ye Jing: "I heard that the small town of Qingjing in Xizhou was turned upside down by a demon cultivator. I'd like to ask, how did you escape?"

Lin Qingyue shed a few tears: "Because my parents held me tightly in their arms, I drank their blood in the darkness so that I could still be alive when the immortal arrived..."

Ye Jing's eyes were touched, and he stood up. "You rest first, I'm leaving."

As the sound of iron chains locking rang out, Lin Qingyue pounded on the wall.

"I've made up such a bad story, why won't he let me out?"

Dust-Breaking System: "Maybe your acting is too bad."

Lin Qingyue: "Great! Yang Zishen is a fast runner! Wait for him!"
