Lin Ruojin took off the rags on her body with a wronged look, put on a coat, and went out to fetch water for a bath.

Here, the justice in Murong Lingshuang's heart kept shouting:

Down with the pervert! Help the right, not your relatives!

When he found Baili Shun, he saw that he was as calm as ever, which made his indignation even more intense.

At that time, Baili Shun had already changed into clean clothes, tidied up his messy long hair, and sat at the table reading quietly, as if nothing had happened just now.

What else can you call this if not pulling up your pants and not recognizing people? Why is he suddenly serious at this time?

"Brother Shun, when did you read "The Art of Calming the Mind"?!"

Murong Lingshuang looked at him for a long time, but finally couldn't help but expose his panic.

"Brother Shun, are you with her?" Murong Lingshuang made an ambiguous gesture. When the other party shook his head, she said, "Are you just one step away from..."

"Lingshuang! What are you saying as a girl?"

"Look at you! I heard everything when I came here. She clearly didn't agree, but you insisted on taking advantage of her! Now you're feeling shy. Do you know you went too far?"

Baili Shun tightened his grip on the scroll.

"You have to find a way to compensate her now. After all, she is still a virgin. Don't you know how miserable she was crying? She took good care of you to protect your face, but you...tsk tsk..."

Baili Shun frowned. He couldn't read a single word of the book.

His mind was filled with the image of her struggling with tears and grievance under him, her face full of resentment, which gave him a headache.

"I... won't let her try the medicine anymore."

"and then?"

"I won't let her be a servant either."

"That's it?"

"Then what else do you want?" Baili Shun said coldly, squeezing out the rest of the sentence from between his teeth, "I know you want her to go home, but I won't let you."

ill!

Murong Lingshuang never thought that one day she would use these two words to describe the decisive and efficient owner of Tianshui Tower, Baili Shun.

"You've only met her a few times, but you're willing to help her with all your heart?"

Murong Lingshuang was almost mad at him. She rushed over and snatched the book from Baili Shun's hand and said, "What do you mean I want something else? Don't you know that women hate hearing such words? Girls are innocent! You..." She paused, embarrassed to say those words, and changed her words, "You should try to win her forgiveness. Don't you like Lin Ruofan? You caused this by yourself. If you don't solve it, how can you say with a clear conscience that you only love your sister?"

When Baili Shun heard Lin Ruofan's name, his face became even gloomier.

He clenched and unclenched his fists in his long sleeves. It was a rare moment when he was willing to give in.

On the second day, Lin Ruojin appeared in Huisheng Pavilion as usual.

This time, Wen Qi was not as excited as before. His gray brows were furrowed like two caterpillars lying on his forehead.

He was holding a basin of purple water and pouring it onto the roots of the man-faced fruit tree one spoonful at a time. He stopped when he saw her coming.

"How did you come?"

Lin Ruojin found a stool and sat down in surprise, "You don't need me to test the medicine anymore?"

"No need for that. The host will find a few young ones for me. How did you, little girl, get the host to let you go?" Wen Qi tried hard to straighten his hunched body and pointed at Lin Ruojin to signal her to come over.

"Little girl, you took so many Soul-Separation Pills, why don't you have any reaction? A normal person would become stupid after taking this amount of medicine." Wen Qi circled around Lin Ruojin and looked at her carefully: "Can you go back and find someone to drain out the remaining medicine for you?"

"Um... not really."

Lin Ruojin didn't mention Hua Wensheng.

Wen Qi said no more. He walked to the side, picked up the silver stick standing in the corner and poked the human-faced fruit tree. After a while, a flesh-pink fruit the size of a palm fell into his hand.

It is round and full. If it weren't for the way it grows and its appearance, it would really be worth collecting. After all, fruits like this are rare in the world.

"Try one!" Wen Qi walked to Lin Ruojin and cut the still screaming human-faced fruit into two halves and stuffed them into Lin Ruojin's hand.

Ok……

It is the upper part of a human face...

The fruit still had its eyes open.

"Is it edible?" Lin Ruojin shook off the bright red juice at the end of the fruit and smelled it, and it didn't taste fishy.

Watching the red liquid flowing down from the palm of my hand, it looked like blood, but it smelled sweet.

"It won't kill you, so how does it taste?"

Lin Ruojin hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth and took a bite. With a "pop", juice spurted out, choking her and making her cough.

Wen Qi didn't like wasting things, especially things like this, so Lin Ruojin could only bite the bullet and eat it.

It's quite sweet, and tastes like persimmon, not bad. But it feels like biting into the aorta of the human face fruit.

"Little girl, you can easily escape the poison of my Soul-Separating Pill. You are really a promising talent. Have you ever thought about practicing in the future?"

"I thought about it, but..."

"Then do you want to take me as your master? I can show you how to control poison and insects!"

"Thank you for your kindness, old man. It's a pity that I already have a master."

Wen Qi narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and asked: "Is it Hua Wensheng? You don't have to hide it from me. I can feel a few traces of his medicinal scent on you."

"Do you have a grudge against him?"

"No matter if there is any hatred or resentment, you don't have to worry, little girl!" Seeing Lin Ruojin's vigilance, he walked to the side and sat on a stool to eat the remaining human noodle fruit. "It doesn't matter who you become a disciple with. I don't care about the owner of the building or me. Although I have a grudge against him, it is not what you think. Can you... still see him?"

"can……"

"Tell him for me that when...when my Soul-Separation Pill is perfected, we will meet at the Cliff of Repentance to fight it out."

Lin Ruojin was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Inside the hall, Wu Mingchen clenched his fists as he looked at the eleven corpses covered with white cloth in the center of the hall.

"Young Master, all ten disciples who went to suppress the bandits have died." The white-robed disciple presented a tray with ten blood-stained and knife-marked phoenix-tail jade pendants on it. "And the extra one was a new disciple who disappeared not long ago and was fished out of the river by a boatman yesterday."

"They were just a few bandits. Ten of them went there and none of them survived?"

"Yes... and, Young Master, I have already checked the jade tokens that you asked me to check. No one in the sect, from the master to all the disciples, has a missing jade token."

"Okay, you go down."

While Wu Tian was patrolling the room, Wu Mingchen told him about recent events.

Wu Tianxun looked at the jade tablet on the plate on the table, frowned and said: "The remaining evildoers are really a disaster. This time, ten people died while chasing the murderer, and one person was thrown into the river."

"I have investigated these people, and none of them can use a sword. Boss Jin is very good at palm techniques, but he knows nothing about swordsmanship. There must be someone helping him behind the scenes, but we can't find out that person's whereabouts."

"After the bounty was issued, are there any clues?"

"There is one."

Wu Mingchen recounted what happened that day one by one.

Half a month ago, a street beggar found the disciple who issued the reward order.

While begging on the street, he saw a child holding a string of candied haws and handing a note to a tall man.

He was very hungry at the time, so he was always paying attention to the child's direction, so he saw the man's profile.

At that time, he was standing in the corner looking in the direction of the teahouse with a gloomy and scary look. He did not dare to follow the child directly. He waited until the tall man read the note and left before he took action.

When he was grabbing the candied haws, he asked the child where he got it. The child said that it was given to him by some bearded uncles, who asked him to deliver a note to his brother.

"A tall man?"

"Yes." Wu Mingchen nodded, took out a folded portrait from his arms, unfolded it and handed it to Wu Tianxun, "According to the description of the portrait, I drew a frontal portrait."

Wu Tianxun took a look and suddenly there was a flash of surprise and panic in his eyes.

"Father? What's wrong with you?" Wu Mingchen looked at his father's slightly trembling hands holding the portrait.

"The face is so similar..."

"Too similar? Father, did you recognize this person?"

"She really looks like Chen Wanying..."

The man's eyebrows and eyes in this portrait are exactly similar to those of Chen Wanying, the eldest daughter of the Chen family, who was besieged and exterminated by many famous families because of her connection with the devil.
