Su Li saw the change in Feng Jiu's emotions.

”You want to take the Acupuncture Manipulation back?”

Feng Jiu choked. He did not expect Su Li to ask him this directly, showing that his thoughts just now were a little narrow-minded.

”Since it's something from Medical Hidden Sect, of course I have to take it back.”

”Right now, I am unable to confirm whether what you said is true or not, so I will temporarily not hand over the Acupuncture Manipulation to you. Once I am certain that the thing does not belong to me, I will naturally return it to you.”

Feng Jiu suddenly smirked, ”Girl, you're quite interesting. Since that's the case, I'll leave that thing with you.”

Su Li found it laughable. ”Do you have any way to determine the whereabouts of the other life and death Gu?”

Feng Jiu shook his head, ”This is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Su Li bit his lower lip. Just as he was about to die from depression, Mo Lianjin finally opened his mouth.

”Since the jade is in the hands of that young man, he must know who the owner of the jade is.”

Mo Lianjin's words gave rise to a strong sense of hope in the bottom of his heart.

She carefully glanced at him. She wanted to ask him about the youth, but she wasn't sure if he was willing to say.

”All these years, the number of people executed due to the natural disaster is not small. This King received the informant and the people who deserved to die are still alive, so I chased after them …”

Mo Lianjin took the initiative to speak, and detailed the origin of this youth.

Su Li's heart was moved, it seemed that Mo Lianjin was truly treating her as one of his own, and was beginning to be willing to share his secret with her.

However, those who knew too many secrets would die easily, right?

But now that this secret was related to her, she had no choice but to listen to it.

”When This King found that place, he only took the youth. What's next is for him to have his soul taken by someone.”

”That person captured the soul of the youth, he probably doesn't want him to reveal anything, so that means, he might have saved those who should have been killed, or maybe he's the one who instigated Liu Yin and Tang Rufeng.” Su Li felt a headache, ”Why did that person put in so much effort to do all these?” ”There's no point in overthinking things. Let's just wait and see.” Mo Lianjin stood up, looked at Su Li, and walked out.

Su Li nodded to Feng Jiu and followed behind him.

Neither of them spoke as they climbed the stairs and left the tunnel.

Su Li looked at the pitch black sky and had the nagging feeling that someone was throwing a net and she was a small fish trapped in it.

So what if her life depended on it? There would be a day when she would break free from this net and exit the cocoon.

After silently making up his mind, the restlessness in the bottom of Su Li's heart also disappeared.

She turned her head to look at Mo Lianjin. His face was covered by the shadows, but she could see him more clearly than ever.

”Thank you very much.”

”What are you thanking This King for?”

”Willing to share the origin of the youth, as well as...” Su Li paused for a moment before continuing, ”Your trust.”

”When the diplomatic mission arrives, This King will tell you the reason.”

Su Li suddenly stopped in his tracks. After walking a few steps, he realized that she hadn't moved and thus stopped as well. He turned his head and looked at her.

”What's the matter?”

”I will investigate everything about the hypnotist, but I also want to ask you for a favor.”

”Hmm?”

”Find the person who was in Precious Moon House that day and destroyed my innocence for me.”

”You …”

”The one who destroyed my innocence is not Chen Ba, there's someone else.” When Su Li thought of that man, he gnashed his teeth a little, ”I want to personally treat him.”

Mo Lianjin remained silent, a profound look flashed past her eyes. Fortunately, the night was dark, and she did not notice anything.

”Actually, I suspected that it was the Imperial Advisor. That day, when he returned to the capital, his eyes were blinded by the Moonworshipping Poison. As for the man who destroyed my innocence, he was poisoned …”

Mo Lianjin's throat tightened, and he was unable to say a single word.

”No matter what, I have to trouble you to check it out for me.”
