After clearing his room, he called for Lu Li and told him to not let anyone wake up Qiao Liangjin before he left. He had other things to do, after which, he would concentrate on accompanying Qiao Liangjin to find those experts and find out who killed Zi Yan.

By the time Qiao Liangjin woke up, it was already past noon. She opened her eyes and looked at the bed curtain above her. The corner of her lips curled up as she thought about the hug last night, which would give her the strength to face more things in the future.

Qiao Liangjin stood up and took a sniff of her face before leaving. She took the list that was written to her last night and went straight to the Peace House.

The moment the door of the Mourning House was opened, the red clothed Hong Chen saw that Qiao Liangjin was once again dressed in men's attire. He snorted and said, ”You should be a man. This sort of outfit is suitable for you.”

Qiao Liangjin was not in the mood to bicker with him. She pointed upstairs and asked, ”Where's Bai Wu?”

”I just woke up.” After Red Dust finished speaking, he ignored Qiao Liangjin and started cleaning the counter with a feather duster.

Qiao Liangjin went upstairs and knocked lightly on the door. Bai Wuqing's pleasant voice came from the other side of the door, ”Who is it?”

”Me.”

Before long, the door opened. Bai Wu dressed in plain clothes looked down at Qiao Liangjin and smiled, ”You came.”

Qiao Liangjin's lips curved into a smile as she walked into Bai Wu Chen's room. She placed the letter in her hand on the table and said: ”I would like to know about these people's daily habits. Can you help me?”

Bai Wu picked up the paper and looked at it carefully. He nodded and said, ”Ok.”

Only then did Qiao Liangjin sit down with his head lowered.

Bai Wu pulled a chair over and sat opposite Qiao Liangjin. He asked gently, ”What's wrong with you?”

”Zi Yan is dead.”

”Purple smoke?” No memory.

”Zi Yan is dead?” A surprised voice came from the door.

Qiao Liangjin raised her head and looked at Hong Chen. Yes, Hong Chen should know who Zi Yan was. After all, they had gone to the Southern Kingdom together. She nodded and replied affirmatively, ”Yes, Zi Yan is dead.”

”How did he die?” Red Dust frowned. He didn't seem to like this kind of news at all.

”He was killed, cut open his stomach. It was terrible. ” Qiao Liangjin smiled sadly.

”Where's the body?” Red Dust asked.

”I let Yu Sheng burn her with a fox. Other than me and Su Yan, no one else in the world knew that she was dead. Now, there's the two of you.” Qiao Liangjin stretched out four fingers.

”Idiot, you burned the corpse, how am I supposed to find any clues?” Hong Chen scolded with a hint of vexation.

Qiao Liangjin was startled and asked, ”You will?”

Bai Wu nodded and said, ”Red Dust does have some ability. He can see things that we can't see …”

”Daoist Priest?” Mage? ”Old Daoist Mao Shan?” Qiao Liangjin had attributed all the nouns she thought of to the mortal world.

”No, I can only feel what a person feels after death.” Hong Chen slowly said.

Qiao Liangjin's long eyebrows raised slightly. This was a godly figure.

”Didn't you say earlier that you had this ability …” Qiao Liangjin complained.

”You never asked me.” Red Dust actually replied in a muffled voice.

Qiao Liangjin was speechless and waved her hand. She was not in the mood to argue about these things.

Bai Wu kept the letter and poured two cups of tea. He passed one cup to Qiao Liangjin and said in a soothing voice, ”Have some tea.”

Qiao Liangjin nodded and drained the cup of tea handed over by Bai Wu in one gulp. She was curious as to why her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier …

After Qiao Liangjin fell asleep on the table, Bai Wuqing softly said, ”I just wanted to help you. I wanted to help you believe that Zi Yan went to send my brother to the Green Mountain Academy.”

Hong Chen looked at Qiao Liangjin who was lying on the table and asked, ”She wants revenge, can you make her forget about you like this?”

”I don't know... Her consciousness was too strong... This yellow spring tea of mine may not be of much use, but... I felt her sadness. It hurt. ” Bai Wu said as he gently caressed Qiao Lianjin's forehead with his palm.

Hong Chen looked at Bai Wu Chen and shook his head as he walked out of the door. ”How many times can you help her? Your time is almost up.”

Bai Wu did not care about what Hong Chen said. He focused his attention on Qiao Liangjin and carried her gently. He pushed open the door on the balcony and flew out of the House of Peace.
