“Oh, i suddenly remembered something!” Xiao Jingye suddenly said.
Gu Qingluan’s spirits lifted. “What is it?”
“Just a while ago, I saw a few people dressed in black cloaks just like Yin Qing. They passed by and entered a room. I didn’t get a clear look, but I overheard them talking about traps and Chaos Stones as if they were planning to set a trap for someone. Maybe they sensed someone outside, as they later set up a barrier, and I couldn’t hear anything more.”
Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan exchanged a glance.
It seems they weren’t mistaken!
Yin Qing was indeed one of the cloaked figures who ambushed Feng Tianlan.
Their conspiracy was most likely related to the assassination at the Shadow Tower in the black market.
At the time, it was in the black market, and people from all over the continent frequented it. It was unexpected that they were also in the Heavenly Capital City.
This time, they probably had more than just Yin Qing to deal with.
Gu Qingluan furrowed her brows, temporarily setting aside this issue, and asked, “Has Yin Qing never revealed anything about his identity?”
Xiao Jingye replied, “He’s very cautious in his speech, and he’s revealed very little about his background, only saying that he’s a wandering cultivator with no sect or faction. I’ve investigated him before, but I couldn’t find anything.”
So, what Yin Qing said was clearly false.
“Are you not afraid to keep such a person close to you, fearing that he might betray you?” Gu Qingluan teased with a smirk.
Xiao Jingye touched his nose and snorted, “I’m not someone who gets easily scared.”
With the limited information they obtained from Xiao Jingye, they would have to go to the place he mentioned. If they couldn’t find Yin Qing there, they would have to find a way to lure him out.
Previously, Gu Qingluan had considered using Xiao Jingye to lure out Yin Qing, but now it seemed that if he was approaching Xiao Jingye, he must have some ulterior motive. The chances of him risking his life to save Xiao Jingye were slim. Even if they put Xiao Jingye on the chopping block, Yin Qing probably wouldn’t show up.
This plan wouldn’t work, so they would have to rely on Gu Qingluan or Feng Tianlan to take the risk.
“When will you release me? I’ve told you everything I know,” Xiao Jingye asked anxiously.
“We don’t have the authority to release you.”
Xiao Jingye’s face turned pale. “You’re going back on your word?”
He was on the verge of swearing in public.
“I’ll explain the situation to the Emperor, but I don’t think there’s much hope.”
“F*ck! You can’t even keep a promise!” Xiao Jingye finally couldn’t hold back his curses.
Looking at the man and woman in front of him, he felt an urge to kill.
Gu Qingluan replied calmly, “Don’t worry, you’ll definitely have a chance to see your mother.”
A flash of insight crossed Xiao Jingye’s mind. “So, were you lying to me just now? My mother isn’t seriously injured?”
He didn’t know whether to be angry or amused.
He had been played, and he had every reason to be angry.
But if his mother was fine, that was good news.
Watching the mixed emotions on his face, Gu Qingluan shook her head. “I didn’t deceive you, but I’ll find a way to help treat your mother.”
“Can you?” Xiao Jingye looked at Gu Qingluan with suspicion.
Weren’t they saying that his father had invited renowned physicians, but none could save his mother? This woman was young, could she really do it?
He understood that she had impressive talents, but human abilities had their limits. She had become a Saint at a young age, thanks to her exceptional talents and opportunities.. Given her achievements in martial arts, did she really have the time to study medicine, let alone surpass experts dedicated to healing and alchemy?
