He killed someone and fled, but after being recognized by a wealthy family, he went crazy and starte

Ji Wanxue spoke about this for nearly half an hour.

At the end, her face showed fear at first, panic later, and finally helplessness and anger as her companions died tragically before her eyes.

Jian Jinge listened quietly. When she calmed down, his dark eyes fixed on her, scrutinizing her without a trace of concealment. "How did you avoid the invasion of the spirit from outside the domain?"

Ji Wanxue was stunned. "Existence outside the domain?"

"It is the existence that devours your consciousness."

Ji Wanxue hesitated and shook her head, "I'm not sure either!" After a pause, she asked, "The Patriarch was just verifying whether I was really me?"

Jian Jinge didn't answer her question, but continued to ask, "How did you escape?"

Ji Wanxue, "We were there with Gao Yi to protect Elder Jian Qingxing and leave, but later on, as our own people gradually became enemies, our numbers gradually dwindled.

It was not until later that one of my companions and I led away the pursuers in order to buy time for Elder Jian Qingxing and Gao Yi to escape.

Later, I was seriously injured and accidentally touched something, and then, I came back!"

Jian Jinge's eyelashes drooped slightly, and her fingers gently stroked Xiaobao's soft tail.

After a long silence, he turned his palm over and a beautiful box appeared.

"This is Half Moon Soul, which can completely cure the sequelae of your injuries," Jian Jinge paused and said, "It's compensation and also a reward."

She didn't specify what the compensation or reward was, but Ji Nianxue understood. In an instant, regret and guilt surged in her heart like a tide. She bowed deeply and said gratefully, "Thank you, Patriarch!"

Ji Nianbai looked at the spiritual plant in his sister's hand, then looked at the Patriarch, and blurted out, "Patriarch, I'm sorry!"

"Well, I accept your apology!" Jian Jinge waved his hand, meaning that they could leave first.

Qin Zimo waited until they left before slowly speaking, "Do you believe what she said?"

Jian Jin Ge didn't answer but asked, "Her genes and soul are definitely the same person, and she's not a Faceless Man pretending to be her. So why would she lie?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Qin Zimo paused, as if thinking for a moment before continuing, "I mean, she gives me a strange feeling!"

Jian Jinge nodded.

Qin Zimo rolled up his sleeves, adjusted his sitting position, and narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly. "Before you came back, I also asked her about what happened. At the beginning, when she was describing this incident, she would suddenly pause for a moment.

Although she was seriously injured at the time and had experienced a life-and-death battle and had a close brush with death, she would feel fear and resistance deep down in her heart. This is a normal reaction.

I just think her reaction when she described this incident was, how should I put it, it was just very strange.

Each time she paused, it was not because of inner tension, fear, anger or other unnecessary emotions.

Rather, it felt more like something had stopped her train of thought, like when someone suddenly changes the subject while we're having a conversation."

"Do you mean to say that her memory has been tampered with?" Jian Jinge summed it up in one sentence.

Qin Zimo, "Yeah, you think so too."

Jian Jinge said, "One thing is certain, she must have been released intentionally."

The probability of one out of ten people surviving is even less convincing than the probability of all of them dying.

It’s not that I don’t want the other person to be alive, but she is the only survivor, and there is a hint of conspiracy.

The most important thing is that Ji Nianxue is still relatively weak among the ten people.

"Why?" Qin Zimo had actually thought about this possibility, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what the point of letting her come back alone was.

These days he also sent people to closely monitor her every move. Apart from her daily recuperation, her other habits were no different from her usual ones.

There wasn't even anything unusual.

Jian Jinge pondered, "Maybe it's a conspiracy, or maybe... he just wants to provoke us!"

Qin Zimo was silent.

"Do you want to control her?"

Jian Jinge's eyes were dim, and he said simply, "No need."

"Jian Jinge, you're finally back!"

At this moment, a figure rushed back from outside.

Jian Jinge followed the sound and saw a skewer in his left hand, a large pancake in his right hand, various snacks and fruits in his pockets, and a hat on his head.

The hat is concave inwards, and contains a big watermelon. Corn and vegetables are hung around the neck.

His eyes were covered with gauze, but his face was dark, and he looked like a beggar.

"Pearl?"

Zhu Yin tilted his head and lowered his head to take a bite of the skewer. "Yes, it's me, Mingzhu."

Jian Jinge looked him up and down, speechless for a moment.

Zhu Yin seemed not to notice the disgust on her face, and moved closer to her. His eyes under the gauze curiously scanned the four little ones, Xiao Er, Xiao San, Xiao Si, and Tao Tao.

"Hey, how did that white-haired creature turn into four tiny little things?"

As he spoke, he reached out and poked this and then that.

Then, he was beaten by the four little ones!

Xiaobao held a small flag and cheered for the four little ones.

Qin Zimo smiled and explained for Zhu Yin, "He's good-looking and generous, so both men and women like him very much. Especially many girls, middle-aged aunts, and elderly aunts have an inexplicable pity for him."

When Jian Jinge heard the word "generous", a sparkling gem suddenly appeared in his mind and he was silent.

Qin Zimo had been paying attention to her expression and knew she had guessed the fundamental reason why Zhu Longyin was favored. "Right now, in Zhujian City, I estimate that half of the people have more than ten glittering golden gems in their hands."

Jian Jinge:......

Exchanging gems for delicious food was indeed generous, so generous that she wanted to exclaim, "What a big sucker!"
