Qin Feng shrugged and said innocently, "You can't blame me for this. I don't know which stupid girl turned on the alarm bell. She couldn't even tell the time from the alarm bell. It was supposed to sound the alarm bell, but it sounded the time instead. The first time I heard the bell, I was hungry and thought it was lunchtime. I was thinking of making some porridge to feed Han Fu who hadn't eaten anything for a long time. But after a while, I heard the bell again and realized that something was wrong. By the time I got there, the dust had already settled …"
As Qin Feng said this, Ying Feiyang also remembered that Qin Feng was referring to the Rainbow Dial made by Mo Fei Gong in Jinping Villa. Xie Lingyan had introduced it to him before. This Rainbow Dial could not only measure time, but it also had the function of ringing the bell at noon and midnight. Other than that, if there was a need, it could also activate the mechanism to make the bell ring to signal the time, to gather, to welcome guests, and to warn others.
Yesterday, when he injured Zhao Ya, he heard the first bell ring, and when he was knocked down the waterfall by Gongzi Ling, he heard the second bell ring.
Zhao Ya was still angry and said, "Even if the bell was wrong, it was already chaotic outside. Why would there be a need for the bell to warn others? The rest of the sisters had already joined the chase. As the chief guard, are you not as vigilant as them? "
Qin Feng pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Big Sis Ya, Han Fu's guest room is quite far away from here, and I was busy cooking, so I really didn't hear the commotion outside. You can't blame me for this. If you really want to blame someone, you can only blame the person who rang the bell. If I knew who she was, I would definitely make her hollow head ring the bell!"
The more Qin Feng spoke, the angrier he got. Cat girl Miao Er shrunk behind Wei Meng'er and raised her hand timidly. She blinked her cat eyes and said pitifully, "That … Sister Qin Feng, I … I activated the mechanism to ring the bell … but my head can't ring it …"
"Okay! So it's you, stupid girl? "Qin Feng put on a threatening look and glared at Miao Er. Miao Er was so scared that she hid her head behind Wei Meng 'er.
Ying Feiyang stood between the two and said, "Alright, stop bullying her. Miao Er, it's your turn. Tell me, what did you do before noon yesterday?"
With Gongzi Ling's protection, Miao Er dared to stick her head out and said, "Yesterday … yesterday, we saw Ying Feiyang and Lord Zhao fighting in the front yard of the library. Meng 'er and I were too weak, so we didn't dare to help. After Lord Zhao was injured, we had the chance to get close. I wanted to help Lord Zhao back to her room to rest, but she didn't want to. Instead, she gave me the key to open the Rainbow Dial and told me to ring the alarm bell and gather all the demons in the villa to catch Ying Feiyang. Then I went … but when I was nervous, I couldn't tell left from right, and my brain turned into mush. Lord Zhao told me to ring the key and turn it to the right to ring the alarm bell, but I turned it to the left … Gongzi, it's all my fault, I made a big mistake."
When Miao Er said this, she was already on the verge of tears. Ying Feiyang was afraid that she wouldn't stop crying, so he quickly laughed and said, "It's just Ying Feiyang, I can kill him with a flick of my finger. What's so big about it? Even though the bell was wrong, it didn't delay anything. The noisy situation at the time was enough to ring the alarm bell. Continue. "
Miao Er nodded. "After that, there's nothing else. I've never heard the alarm bell before, and I don't know the difference between the alarm bell and the alarm bell. I just thought that I had completed Lord Zhao's task, so I wanted to go and watch the show. But I ran too slow, and when I arrived, Ying Feiyang had already been defeated by Gongzi."
Ying Feiyang asked again, "On the way back, did you see anyone who could testify for you?"
Miao Er tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "I didn't see anyone when the bell was rung, but when I was watching the show, there were a few older sisters who could testify for me."
Ying Feiyang looked at Chu Song with an inquiring gaze. Chu Song shook his head and said, "When she arrived, Gongzi and Ying Feiyang's battle was already at its end. She didn't have anyone to testify for her whereabouts for a long time. It's been almost a quarter of an hour, enough time to cure the poison I left on Tieshan."
At this moment, Wei Meng 'er interrupted, "Gongzi, Older Sister Chu, even though I'm not sure what happened in the manor, but the Rainbow Dial and Big Brother Tieshan's guest room are very far away. With Miao Er's speed, she could first go to the Rainbow Dial to activate the mechanism to ring the bell, then go to the guest room to cure the poison, and then go to Madam's room to watch the show. Just the journey back and forth would take more than a quarter of an hour … She doesn't have that time."
The problem of time had also occurred to Ying Feiyang. The library, the guest room, the Rainbow Dial, and the demons' viewing area formed a long shape. The library was close to the guest room, and the Rainbow Dial was close to the viewing area, but it was far away from the library and the guest room. There was a problem of time to go back and forth. But since it was Wei Meng 'er who said this, Ying Feiyang still thought highly of her.
She was indeed a demoness from Sky Incense Valley. Even though her nature hadn't changed and she was naïve, when it came to major events, she was calm and collected, far better than Miao Er of her age.
Hearing Wei Meng 'er defend her, Miao Er nodded in agreement even though she couldn't speak.
However, Ying Feiyang suddenly activated the two Dōjin Qi that Gongzi Ling had left in his body. Ying Feiyang moved like a ghost and appeared behind Miao Er in a flash. In the blink of an eye, he had already grasped Miao Er's pulse. Before Miao Er could react, she was already under his control. When she reacted, she couldn't help but turn pale with fright.
"Don't be afraid, Gongzi is just testing your skills," Wei Meng 'er comforted.
At the same time, Ying Feiyang's Qi also poured into Miao Er's body. After circulating through her meridians, he slowly stopped.
From the books and Chu Song's preliminary research, he knew that although Gu worms could take over a person's body, they couldn't increase the host's skills. After some testing, he realized that Miao Er's foundation was very weak, and there was indeed a problem of time.
Thinking of this, Ying Feiyang slowly let go of Miao Er's hand.
But he looked at Wei Meng 'er and said, "Little Flower Demoness, since you know that I am suspicious of you, do you know that by defending her, you are making yourself more suspicious?"
Wei Meng 'er said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, "I know, but I also know that Gongzi is impartial and loves us. You would never let any of us be wronged."
"Hah, similar, really similar." Ying Feiyang chuckled and looked at Wei Meng 'er. "Then it's your turn. Tell me, what did you do when Chu Song was away?"
Wei Meng 'er shook her head. "I didn't do anything. After Leader Zhao was injured, although she said that she was fine, I was still worried, so I went to the pharmacy to get some medicine for her."
Ying Feiyang said, "The pharmacy is not far from the library. Why would it take so long to get some medicine?"
Wei Meng 'er said, "The pharmacy was originally managed by Sister Chu, but she was chasing after Ying Feiyang at the time, so the other demons were not there. I could only rely on my experience in Sky Incense Valley to look for some medicine to treat internal injuries. But because I was not familiar with the pharmacy, it took a long time. When I rushed back, Sister Zhao Ya was no longer under the tree in the library, so no one could prove it for me. "
Ying Feiyang looked at Zhao Ya, wanting to confirm with her. Zhao Ya said, "I will tell you my whereabouts. My whereabouts are even simpler. After I was injured by Ying Feiyang, I recuperated under the tree. But I was worried, so I only performed one circulation to suppress my injuries. When I saw Gongzi and Ying Feiyang fighting, I wanted to observe the situation. But I overestimated my physical strength, so I endured my injuries and stopped several times. Even after Gongzi killed Ying Feiyang, I still couldn't reach the place …"
Ying Feiyang asked again, "When did you leave the Academy Tree?"
Zhao Ya replied, "I've only adjusted my breathing for one day. Not long after the first alarm rang, I had already set off."
"Oh? That's interesting! "Ying Feiyang raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Ya asked, "What's wrong?"
Ying Feiyang's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he said, "Just now, I tricked Meng Youshu and she gave a different testimony from yours. She said that she saw you cultivating under the tree and regulating your breath when the clock struck noon!"
