I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 89 Zhang Family Daughter-in-Law

After listening, Yun Qingyi nodded: "Arou and I had the same idea."

"Let's go find those Flying Star Sect cultivators."

After saying that, Yun Qingyi opened the door and walked out with Yun Qingrou.

The others looked at each other, completely bewildered, and then followed them out.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you'll understand sooner or later anyway. The group followed Yun Qingyi to the residence of the Flying Star Sect cultivators.

Just as Yun Qingyi had said, the Flying Star Sect cultivators didn't find anything wrong; on the contrary, they thoughtfully told them to be careful.

It was night, and the bright moonlight shone on the quiet street.

Yun Qingyi and her group stood atop a building, surveying the capital city.

"That's amazing." Leng Zhan exclaimed softly, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Yun Qingyi and Yun Qingrou: "Those Flying Star Sect cultivators really do look just like what Aunt Qingyi and Aunt Qingrou said, they seem a bit silly."

"Those maids clearly made so many mistakes, yet they didn't expect us to notice and let us out as if nothing had happened."

Yun Qingyi shook her head: "It was within my expectations to release us. They do seem stupid, but it's not a matter of intelligence. Rather, it's more like they're not familiar with the rules of humanity."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Leng Zhan scratched his head, looking somewhat puzzled. "What does that mean?"

"Oh! Martial Uncle, I understand!" Ji Zhaoling exclaimed excitedly, "What you're saying is that what they consider normal behavior isn't normal for us humans. They're used to it, so they don't see anything wrong with it?"

He gave Ji Zhaoling an appreciative look and nodded: "Yes, that's it."

"Then, Uncle-Master, are we going to search for those evil spirits outside now?" Ruan Qi asked Yun Qingyi, looking at the silent capital city.

"No," Yun Qingyi said softly.

"Huh?" Gu Qiqing, who was eager to try, was slightly taken aback: "Then, junior sister, if we don't go, what if evil spirits go to eat the babies again? The intelligence report we received said that since the fog in Xingyue City dissipated, the phenomenon of babies being eaten at night has been occurring frequently again."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi did not speak, but instead looked at him with a smile.

Gu Qiqing was a little confused by Yun Qingyi's stare. He scratched the back of his head and asked, puzzled, "Why is Junior Sister staring at me?"

"You're so stupid, Senior Brother." Yun Qingrou couldn't help but say, "How can you be as silly as Leng Zhan? Wasn't the intelligence reported to our sect by those Flying Star Sect cultivators?"

Leng Zhan: "?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiqing suddenly realized and slapped her forehead hard: "Oh, I see."

"They are the ones who report it, and they are very likely to be one of those evil spirits, so whatever they say is up to them."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingrou nodded: "It's alright, it's alright, I'm not as dull as Leng Zhan."

Leng Zhan: "?"

"So, those evil spirits won't be coming out tonight?" Ruan Qi asked uncertainly after hearing this.

"There's a high probability they won't come out, if those Flying Star Sect members in the City Lord's Mansion are in cahoots with those evil spirits," Yun Qingrou said.

"After all, it's impossible for someone to knowingly put their accomplices in danger when they know we're coming out."

Ruan Qi nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Yun Qingyi and found her staring into the distance, seemingly lost in thought. She couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Qingyi, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing this, Yun Qingyi continued to gaze at the capital city shrouded in the bright moonlight, and said softly, "Don't you think it's too quiet here?"

Upon hearing Yun Qingyi's words, everyone was startled to realize that the vast Star Moon Capital was unusually quiet, even though it was nighttime.

Even if there are no barking dogs, there should at least be chirping insects, right?

Nothing, absolutely nothing, it was eerily quiet.

Yun Qingyi jumped off the roof, and everyone else followed suit.

They walked in unison to each house's window, and after hearing soft breathing, they breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully the person was alright.

Yun Qingyi walked quietly down the street, her face expressionless, looking around.

As they expected, no evil spirits appeared overnight.

The number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and the vendors also started shouting to customers coming and going.

Yun Qingyi and her group walked and looked around, and before they knew it, they entered a small alley. Just then, a woman came out of a house carrying clothes.

Seeing the stunned look on their faces, he smiled at them and prepared to walk past them towards the riverbank in the distance.

Seeing this, Yun Qingyi quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Please wait, madam. Do you recognize us?"

The woman smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course I recognize them. Yesterday, when the soldiers cleared the way to welcome several immortals, I caught a glimpse of them from afar."

The immortals were exceptionally beautiful, and thus unforgettable.

Yun Qingyi narrowed her eyes: "Then why did you want to leave as soon as you saw us? Didn't you want to ask for some blessings or something?"

Upon hearing this, the woman's expression changed slightly, and she whispered, "Immortal, please forgive me. I have lived in this Star Moon Capital since I was a child. I have never been outside and have never met any other immortals. I was afraid of offending you, so I dared not associate with you."

"Oh, I see." Yun Qingyi smiled. "It's alright, we're all very kind, don't be afraid. I just have a few questions I'd like to ask you."

Yun Qingyi tugged at her hand, signaling her not to be nervous.

Seeing this, the woman stopped being coy and smiled, "Whatever you want to ask, please feel free to ask. I will answer everything I know."

"It's nothing really, I just wanted to know what you were going to do with those clothes?"

"Huh?" The woman seemed surprised that Yun Qingyi would ask this. She looked at the wooden basin containing the clothes in her hand and answered truthfully, "I'm going to take it to the river over there to wash it." The woman pointed in a direction.

Do you usually go alone?

Hearing this, the woman's eyes dimmed, and she said softly, "No, no, it's not like that. I used to have my second aunt with me. She was the best to our family. She would bring us all the good food."

"Then why did you go by yourself now?" Yun Qingyi asked.

"It's all because of that Zhang family's daughter-in-law!" Upon hearing this question, the woman's face gradually twisted: "If it weren't for that Zhang family's daughter-in-law, my child wouldn't be dead!"

At this point, the woman's eyes were filled with resentment as she gripped Yun Qingyi's sleeve tightly, her voice filled with sorrow as she said, "Immortal, she killed my child! It was all her fault!"

Yun Qingyi gently patted the woman's back and said softly, "Tell me slowly, tell me slowly, I'm listening, I will seek justice for you."

Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes gradually hardened. She looked at Yun Qingyi, as if she had made a great decision: "Immortal, you must save me, that woman from the Zhang family, she..."

Before she could finish speaking, the woman saw a figure not far behind Yun Qingyi, her gaze froze, and she hurriedly closed her eyes, her eyes filled with terror.

"Hey? Li family's daughter-in-law, what are you doing here?"

Yun Qingyi and her group turned around and saw a woman walking gracefully towards them.

Yun Qingyi narrowed her eyes slightly; she had seen this woman before.
