Lin Ruojin was reminiscing about the past with the people from the Gu Yao Sect, chatting and joking, when he suddenly heard two people beside him talking in low voices.

Lingshuang said that the reason she suddenly went to the dungeon that day was because she met a maid from Tianshui Tower on the way.

She cried and begged Lingshuang, saying that her brother was wrongly accused of stealing and imprisoned in the dungeon, asking her to be kind and save her only relative.

Lingshuang was kind-hearted and agreed without hesitation.

Afterwards, Lingshuang also asked about the identity of the woman in the building, but she didn't know her name, so she didn't find out.

"It seems that there are quite a few spies and undercover agents planted in my building." Baili Shun picked up the wine jug and filled Ling Shuang's empty glass with wine.

"But you don't have to worry, Bai Yi can handle these things."

"but……"

Ling Shuang was still worried. Lin Ruojin picked up a piece of fish dipped in red sauce and put it into her bowl, saying with a smile, "Eat first. Your brother Shun will deal with the person behind this!"

Lin Ruojin smiled and continued to ask Baili Shun, "Really?"

The man looked at her without saying a word, his eyes dim.

Lin Ruojin: "..."

Sensitively aware of the depressed mood of the man beside her, she turned her head and asked in a low voice: "Don't you want him to die?"

"Xiao Jin, I must stay and save his life."

Lin Ruojin looked at him deeply.

He said this with a firm tone, showing that he had made up his mind and made plans.

Now the court has Zhenya, Sikong Lie and others are watching this matter, now the storm seems to have calmed down, but in fact there are undercurrents underneath.

She was curious about why Baili Shun had kept it a secret until now, and it turned out that he had this plan in secret.

The steaming dishes in front of her, soaked in delicious soup, suddenly made her feel bland.

"...Okay, whatever you say." Lin Ruojin chuckled, her eyes moving away from Baili Shun's face and falling on her empty bowl.

"Xiao Jin, are you angry..."

Lin Ruojin didn't want a good meal to put other people in a bad mood, so she ignored Baili Shun, picked up the cup and stood up.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Ruojin solemnly expressed his gratitude to Wu Zhiyun and others.

"Thank you all for taking the trouble to come here. I will always remember your help. I toast to you!"

As the wine went down his throat, Lin Ruojin felt an inexplicable bitterness in his heart.

Tiliana, she has been eliminated.

But before repairing Tiliana's skin, she accidentally used her internal energy to create a small cut on her cheek.

Then, applying the poison powder obtained from Wen Qi onto the wound would cause the victim to rot and die within a calculated period of time.

The revenge for Tiliana's bullying of Cui Yingying has been taken!

After eating and drinking, Baili Shun and Lin Ruojin saw Wu Zhiyun and others off together.

At the dock, Baili Shun looked at the passenger ship going away and asked Lin Ruojin beside him softly.

"Do you know Zhe Ye?"

Lin Ruojin had a few extra drinks with Ling Shuang at the dinner table and felt dizzy at the moment, so he answered almost immediately.

"I know him." Lin Ruojin looked at him with a smile and said seriously: "I have a lot of secrets, but I can't tell you, and I will never, ever tell you."

She took a deep breath, "Actually..."

"It's not too late for you to cut your losses now. If I'm serious, it won't be that easy for you to get rid of me."

Baili Shun's heart trembled, and Lin Ruojin's indifferent look was reflected in his scarlet eyes.

"You are making rash assertions." Baili Shun spread his arms and held the man in his arms. "Bai Li Shun has the determination and perseverance to face challenges head-on, and he also knows the value of being confused."

"Didn't you understand what I said? I'm not the kind-hearted person you think I am. I've killed people and lied to you! Can you accept people around you who are full of lies?"

"If it's true, a bad guy and a bad girl should be a match made in heaven, right?"

Lin Ruojin was shocked by his bizarre train of thought and subconsciously opened her mouth to refute, but didn't know what to say.

"Xiao Jin, please be more serious with me..."

The next moment, a warm and soft touch gently fell on her lips.

Even though they were separated at the last second, her cheeks still turned red and hot as if they were on fire.

"There are so many people watching here, what are you doing, Baili Shun?"

There was a hint of shame and annoyance in Lin Ruojin's voice, "Don't be a hooligan!"

Baili Shun rested his chin on her shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, "You lied to me, and I will pay you back with a kiss. Now we can start over."

"I don't want to talk to you, go away!"

This person in front of me is really...

Really...

Lin Ruojin pushed Baili Shun away with force, turned and left, covering her blushing cheeks, stubbornly refusing to respond to Baili Shun's calls.

She was walking in a hurry and brushed past two men in white clothes without noticing them.

Instead, the other party noticed her first.

"Look at that girl." The handsome young man held a sword and motioned his companions to look. "It seems to be the second daughter of the Lin family."

"How do you remember it so clearly?"

"You don't know yet? Our young master once did that to Miss Lin..."

"Stop!" The young man signaled him with his eyes not to say any more. "Hurry up and do your job. If we can't figure out the matter of pharmacist He Zhifeng, you and I will be punished!"

After some fun, the two of them investigated along the way, and after a day, they actually found out a lot of important information.

Inside the Fenghuang Sect, Wu Mingchen and his father were discussing the intelligence brought back by two disciples.

The father and son discussed the news carefully, and all the accusations were directed at the person they were most familiar with.

He Zhifeng, the pharmacist who left the Fenghuang Sect a long time ago due to a serious illness and whose life or death is unknown.

"Father, do you believe that it was Uncle He who did it?"

Wu Tianxun frowned, narrowed his eyes, and sighed with regret.

"Chen'er, if Zhifeng really has had contact with Chen Wanying's child many times, then I have no choice but to believe it."

Two kinds of elixirs for making elixir of life were stolen at the same time. The phoenix jade pendant was found at the scene. He Zhifeng, who was seriously ill, and the disciples who disappeared one after another, and that man...

What else is there that you can't understand?

Wu Mingchen looked at his father in confusion. His eyes were troubled and it took him a long time to muster up the courage to break the silence in the room.

"Father, I want to ask you, are you and my eldest daughter..."

'Snapped--'

The sudden sound of slamming the table interrupted Wu Mingchen's question.

"Who told you that?" Wu Tianxun's eyes were full of gloom.

That was an expression Wu Mingchen had never seen before.

His father, as the head of the Fenghuang sect, has always been gentle, humble and calm.

As his son, this was the first time Wu Mingchen had seen him so angry since he was old enough to understand.

There seemed to be a hint of guilt.

"Father, why are you angry?"

The father and son were sitting and standing respectively.

Wu Tianxun, who was being stared at by Wu Mingchen with such a purely inquiring gaze, only felt his heart suffocating. The memories that had been buried for many years came flooding back like a tide, touching his heart again and again, making him almost unable to breathe.

After a long silence, it was Wu Tianxun who was finally defeated.

"The eldest daughter of my family, Chen Wanying..." Wu Tianxun sat back in his chair dejectedly and said in a deep voice: "She was once only one step away from becoming my wife..."

Facing the astonished Wu Mingchen, Wu Tianxun slowly told him what happened more than 30 years ago.
