There were a lot of questions, and Fang Zhengzhi knew very well that they might be the key to solving Yu Er's case.
His mind was filled with questions, and he frowned subconsciously. However, there were some questions that he couldn't possibly know the answers to.
For example, during the battle at the Ten Mile Lake, how did the Yan Cloud Cavalry fight, how did they die, and what kind of losses did the Demon and Monster Race suffer?
Who could possibly know these?
Without witnessing it with his own eyes, it was impossible for him to know the specifics. So, the only thing he could do now was to find the most important points among these important questions, and then deduce the final truth of the matter.
That made things very simple.
He could put aside the reason why Leader Lan abdicated for the time being. After all, even a Sage could be severely injured, or die of old age.
He could also put aside the reason why Yu Er and Qian Ye competed against each other, and why Yu Er lost. After all, there would always be winners and losers in a competition.
Fang Zhengzhi had already understood the logic of 'the winner takes all, while the loser takes all', so he naturally wouldn't waste his time thinking about this.
In that case, the focus of the entire situation was on the most important question …
Where exactly was Yu Er locked up at the moment?
It was a straightforward question, but it was also the most difficult one, because judging from Qian Ye's expression, it was impossible for her to answer his question.
Just like that, everything seemed to have returned to the starting point. However, after going one round, there were many more ideas than if he had stayed where he was. For example, he could now confirm that Yu Er had once competed with Qian Ye for the position of Floor Leader, but she lost and was locked up somewhere.
Furthermore, the people who knew where Yu Er was locked up …
Shouldn't be many!
After all, since Yu Er had the ability to compete with Qian Ye for the position of Leader, her reputation in Ling Yun Tower shouldn't be too low. Someone like her would definitely have a group of loyal followers.
After thinking about it, apart from Qian Ye, the only people in Ling Yun Tower who knew where Yu Er was locked up were her most loyal subordinates.
However, Qian Ye wouldn't tell them.
On the other hand, her loyal subordinates probably wouldn't say anything either. After all, someone as cautious and benevolent as Qian Ye naturally wouldn't leave too many loopholes when dealing with this matter.
Wait a minute!
Speaking of loopholes …
Why would Qian Ye leave Cang Yue by her side? Most importantly, judging from Cang Yue's expression and the words she had been saying …
Cang Yue should be one of the people who knew about this!
In other words, it was highly possible that Cang Yue knew where Yu Er was being kept!
Someone like Qian Ye was cautious and tolerant, yet she kept a servant of her opponent by her side. Furthermore, she was able to make the servant let go of his obsession and not save his master.
Suspicious!
Fang Zhengzhi couldn't understand why such a thing would happen. Was Qian Ye treating Cang Yue nicely because she felt guilty for locking up Yu Er? Or could it be that Qian Ye admired Cang Yue's natural talent and talent, so she let bygones be bygones?
These two reasons were undoubtedly too far-fetched. Given Qian Ye's attitude towards the disciples of Ling Yun Tower, such an explanation was impossible.
Fang Zhengzhi could not understand, but it was the truth. He was extremely confused and could not figure out what was going on.
What could he do if he couldn't figure it out?
He decided not to think about it for now!
This had always been Fang Zhengzhi's plan. All in all, all the problems were focused on Cang Yue. As long as he could pry open Cang Yue's mouth, he would be able to find out where Yu Er was kept. As long as he could rescue Yu Er, everything would be resolved.
While Fang Zhengzhi was thinking about this, Lin Mubai was extremely sad, as if he was hurt by Qian Ye's interrogation. He was regretting losing the thirteen Heaven Dao Sage Tablets.
Meanwhile, Ping Yang was in a daze. She seemed to be confused about the truth behind the battle at the Ten Mile Lake, as well as what happened between Lin Mubai and Yu Er.
The situation was a little strange.
Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Cang Yue, and realized that Cang Yue didn't seem to be paying attention to him. Instead, she had her head lowered, and her gaze was fixed on Qian Ye's back.
"Hmm?" Fang Zhengzhi narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, Qian Ye seemed to have become agitated. She started reprimanding Lin Mubai for losing the thirteen Heaven Dao Sage Tablets and inched closer to Lin Mubai.
"Lin Mubai, do you know what Yu Er gave up in order to get you the thirteen Heaven Dao Sage Tablets? Now, you've lost the thirteen Heaven Dao Sage Tablets to the Demon Race. How can you still have the face to live after doing such a thing? How can you still have the face to look for Yu Er? " Qian Ye took a step forward as she spoke. Her eyes shone with a chilly golden radiance.
"I … I …" Lin Mubai's throat moved. He was obviously unable to explain himself to Qian Ye's interrogation. His body was trembling, and he didn't notice Qian Ye approaching him.
"Master risked her life to stop the Demon Race and the Monster Race during the battle. She was severely injured, and not long after she returned to the Ling Yun Tower … Sigh. How can you still have the face to come to the Ling Yun Tower?" Qian Ye continued.
"I've let Leader Lan down, but in my heart …"
"Hmph, let her down? Do you think you can clear your name by saying that you've let her down? Do you know that you've let down not only our master, but the entire human race? The Heaven Dao Sage Tablet is extremely important. How could you hand it over to the Demon Race? Do you want the human race to perish because of this? "
"Perish …"
"That's right. You've witnessed the war between the human race, the Demon Race, and the Monster Race. Do you think the Demon Race and the Monster Race won't hold a grudge against each other after that war? If it wasn't for you, the war wouldn't have happened. Yu Er wouldn't have to be punished because of it! "
"Punished?! Yu Er was punished because of that war? That's why she was locked up? Don't tell me that Yu Er's punishment … was all because of me? " Lin Mubai's body shook when he heard this, and he looked like he couldn't believe what he had heard.
"What do you think it was?" Qian Ye's expression was extremely cold as she walked closer to him. "When Yu Er returned to the Ling Yun Tower, she had already started to repent for what she had done. Master didn't order for Yu Er to be locked up, and she even intended to pass the position of Leader to Yu Er!"
"What happened after that? Why did she … "
"Because of you! It was all because of you! Master knew that Yu Er was pregnant with your child, but you should also know the rules of the Ling Yun Tower. Ling Yun Tower cultivates emotionlessness, and we sever all emotions in the world. Therefore, as the successor of the Leader, how could we allow her to have children? "
"Children … You're saying that Hua Fei's incident caused Yu Er to …"
"That's right! Master helped Yu Er hide the truth, and she even made an exception to allow Ping Yang to be born. She only told the disciples that Ping Yang was picked up from somewhere else, so that Yu Er could still inherit the position of Leader. However, because of your decadence and incompetence, Chen Feihua came to the Ling Yun Tower. Do you really think that Chen Feihua alone could take away a newborn baby from the Ling Yun Tower? "
"Yu Er did it. Yu Er handed Ping Yang to Hua Fei on purpose. In order to let Ping Yang return to my side, she actually …"
"You're right. Yu Er had no choice but to beg Master to let Ping Yang return to the Great Xia Dynasty, and to wake you up from your decadence. Ever since then, the news of Yu Er giving birth to a daughter spread in the Ling Yun Tower. After that, even Master couldn't protect Yu Er anymore. In order to stop people from gossiping, she could only …" Qian Ye seemed to have realized something and shut her mouth.
"Could only what?" Lin Mubai subconsciously took a step forward. There was an unconcealable desolation and eagerness on his face.
"Could only …" Qian Ye seemed to be hesitant at this moment, as if she was extremely unwilling to talk about this matter. In fact, she even seemed to be in pain.
"Mommy, mommy …" Ping Yang seemed to be attracted by Qian Ye's words. She also stared at Qian Ye and waited anxiously.
At this moment, the entire Ling Yun Tower felt pressured. Both Cang Yue and the disciples who were prostrating on the ground were completely silent.
It was as if everyone was waiting!
That included Fang Zhengzhi, because he didn't expect Qian Ye to give him the answer to a question he didn't know the answer to before.
Although no one knew if Qian Ye was telling the truth, they could at least deduce that Ling Yun Tower's previous leader, Leader Lan, was more interested in passing the position of leader to Yu Er than the current leader of the Ling Yun Tower, Qian Ye.
In that case, no one knew if there was anything else that Qian Ye was hiding on purpose because it involved crucial information.
Pressure and waiting!
However, this pressure and waiting was finally broken by a ray of sunlight that shone down from the sky. It was a ray of sunlight that shone through the golden barrier.
It wasn't very bright, especially in the middle of the day. However, for some reason, this ray of sunlight was extremely condensed, and looked like a solid golden sword.
The location where the ray of sunlight landed …
It was above Fang Zhengzhi's head!
"Eh? What the … f * ck! " Fang Zhengzhi was waiting for Qian Ye's answer, but he still sensed the "hostile" ray of sunlight immediately, so he cursed subconsciously.
However, before he could finish cursing, Qian Ye made her move.
In fact, Qian Ye disappeared on the spot the moment the ray of sunlight landed. When she reappeared, she was already next to Fang Zhengzhi.
"Die!" Qian Ye uttered softly at the corner of her mouth.
At the same time, she extended both of her palms at the same time, and each of her palms was holding a shimmering golden bead.
Of course, these two golden beads were very special. Apart from being as transparent as jade, there were two completely different scrolls wrapped within the golden beads.
The first painting depicted a green mountain with a waterfall that was as white as silk. Birds and beasts were flying above the waterfall, and there was a huge green pond below the waterfall. The water in the pond was crystal clear, and there were white splashes in the pond.
It was a painting that exuded a natural aura.
The second painting depicted a world of ice and snow. There was also a mountain and a waterfall in this world of ice and snow. However, the waterfall had obviously been frozen by the ice and turned into icicles. The icicles fell from the top to the bottom and connected to the frozen pond below.
Two paintings!
They were both paintings of the same mountain and waterfall, but they had completely different artistic conceptions. One of them was spring, while the other was winter.
Qian Ye held the two golden pearls in her hands. One of them was aimed at Fang Zhengzhi's head, while the other was aimed at his heart.
It was very close and very fast!
It was a sneak attack!
Furthermore, it was a sneak attack by the leader of Ling Yun Tower. It was obvious that Qian Ye had been preparing for this attack for a long time.
Qian Ye's golden dress fluttered in the wind and made a rustling sound. She looked even colder than the golden bead in her hand that depicted a world of ice and snow.
"Oh no, dodge, Fang Zhengzhi!" Lin Mubai had been staring at Qian Ye the whole time, so he naturally reacted to it immediately.
However, it was already too late.
He wanted to stop Qian Ye or block the attack with his own body, but it was impossible, because Qian Ye was simply too fast.
Not only Lin Mubai, but Ping Yang also had the same thought. However, just like Lin Mubai, she was also unable to block such a fast attack.
"Fang Zhengzhi!" The only thing Ping Yang could do was to yell and stab Qian Ye with her Blazing Qilin Spear. Even though she knew that she couldn't stop Qian Ye's sneak attack, she still stabbed her spear without hesitation.
Crimson flames rose, and a spot of golden light blossomed at the tip of the Blazing Qilin Spear. It was only a hair's breadth away from merging with the golden sunlight.
However, sometimes …
A hair's breadth was the difference between heaven and earth.
Ping Yang stabbed her spear, but she couldn't even stop the sunlight. How could she stop the two golden pearls that were aimed at Fang Zhengzhi's head and heart?
