Zhao Ya frowned and said, "There's no need for me to lie."
Wei Meng 'er also said with certainty, "I returned to the library around noon. Lord Zhao was indeed not under the tree at that time, and I didn't remember wrongly."
The demons fell into deep thought at the same time. Chu Song was the first to speak with a puzzled expression, "Sister Ya and Meng 'er's statements can corroborate each other. This means that Lan Youshu was indeed tricked … But she was also attacked by the Gu worm. How do you explain this?"
Zhao Ya sneered, "Injuring herself to gain the confidence of others! Perhaps she knew that she was being suspected and was afraid that the more she said, the more flaws there would be, so she resorted to injuring herself to gain the confidence of others. The poison just happened to knock her out, but it wasn't fatal enough to prevent us from asking further. "
"You're saying … Sister Lan is a bad demon?" Miao 'er gulped and quietly moved to distance herself from Lan Youshu.
Her childish words were exactly what the other female demons were thinking. All of them looked at Ying Feiyang in unison, waiting for him to make a decision.
Ying Feiyang closed his eyes and thought about what had happened just now. He flew out of the window but did not find the pigeon carrying the letter. He was cautious and wanted to escape when he was questioned. His testimony contradicted Zhao Ya and Wei Meng 'er … Lan Youshu's words and actions were all suspicious, but …
"Look around and see if there's anything suspicious about Lan Youshu," Ying Feiyang ordered when he opened his eyes again.
The women moved upon hearing this. Ying Feiyang swept his gaze across the entire library before his gaze shifted back and forth between the women, secretly scrutinizing each and every one of their actions.
Although Lan Youshu had a place to stay, she usually stayed in the library and rarely went out. The "study nest" under the stairs of the library became her temporary residence. Other than some daily necessities, the rest were mostly books. Because he didn't want to drag more demons into this, the demons' hearts were panicking. However, with the five women present, the efficiency of the search was inevitably reduced. After searching for a long time, they still didn't find anything. Ying Feiyang was wondering if she should call for more demons to help with the search.
At this moment, they heard a dull thud, followed by a cry of pain. Looking towards the source of the sound, they saw Wei Meng'er clutching her head and grimacing in pain. It turned out that Wei Meng'er had bent over to flip through the book for a long time. She wanted to stand up and stretch her neck a little, but the book nest was built at the corner of the stairs. Wei Meng'er didn't pay attention and bumped her head when she got up.
Upon hearing this, Ying Feiyang's eyes lit up. He immediately walked forward and used his knuckles to knock on the wooden stairs. After knocking a few times, he suddenly pulled out a drawer-like secret compartment from the solid wood stairs.
Seeing this, the women gathered around, only to see a large stack of papers in the secret compartment.
Ying Feiyang took out the top one and read, "Tie Shan and Han Fu, it has been many years since we last met. At this time of autumn, when the yellow leaves have fallen and we are homesick, we sincerely invite you to return to the villa … Eh? This is the invitation letter from the villa to Han Fu! "
"These are all letters, mine, Sister Ya's, and Sister Qin Feng's!" Chu Song said in surprise as he flipped through the letters.
"The earliest one was sent half a year ago. There are letters from both incoming and outgoing letters, but the handwriting is that of a book. She … is privately copying our letters!" Zhao Ya quickly scanned through all the letters and made a conclusion.
This made the women present look at each other. Although Fu Youshu was a metamorphosis of a beetle, it was natural for her to copy books. It was fine for her to copy books and scrolls, but she actually used the convenience of being in charge of receiving and receiving letters to copy private letters. This was too much, and it could even be said that she had an ulterior motive!
"Young Master, there must be something wrong with the book. Do you want it?" Zhao Ya asked Ying Feiyang. The other demons also looked over, waiting for Ying Feiyang's order.
Ying Feiyang thought for a while and said, "There's no hurry. I haven't asked about Han Fu yet. Let's talk after I ask."
Qin Feng shook her head and sighed. "Young Master, there's no hurry. But time is not on our side. In my opinion, we've been looking in the wrong direction from the beginning. So what if we find Gu Xuanren's host body? Capture her? It's just a host body. Gu Xuanren can give up the host body to save the pawn. By then, who are we going to ask for the method to get rid of the parasite in her body? "
Miao 'er heard this and her face turned pale again. She quickly asked, "Then, Sister Qin Feng, what do you think we should do?"
"What should we do?" Qin Feng chuckled. She raised her eyebrows like an unsheathed blade. "Time is of the essence. Instead of wasting time to look for Gu Xuanren, why don't we find the host body of the mother parasite first? We'll cut off the root of the parasite and all the threats will be solved! Oh, if Young Master is not willing to do it, I can do it for you. "
As Qin Feng said this, he used his hand as a blade and pointed it at Miao 'er's neck. Miao' er was so scared that her face turned even paler. Qin Feng's straightforward words had indeed pointed out the problem that the demons had been avoiding.
Time was limited. Should they find Gu Xuanren first and try to force him to tell them the method to cure the parasite? Or should they find the host body of the mother parasite and kill her to prevent any future troubles?
The dangerous choice caused the atmosphere to freeze. However, Ying Feiyang laughed in disdain and said, "The women of my Jinping Mountain Manor are precious. A mere Gu Xuanren is not worth their lives. Continue to look for Gu Xuanren and find that toad. I have a way to make him spit out the method to cure the parasite!"
"But …" Qin Feng wanted to say more.
However, Ying Feiyang cut her off and asked, "Why? You don't trust your Young Master?"
"Yes, only Young Master. Qin Feng has always believed in him." Qin Feng lowered her head and stopped arguing.
"That's good!" Ying Feiyang thought for a while and ordered again, "Bi Youshu is very suspicious. Zhao Ya, I'll pick ten demons for you. You'll lead them and be in charge of watching Bi Youshu. Don't let her die or escape."
"Yes!" Although she knew that the ten demons were here to watch over Lao Youshu as well as to keep an eye on her, Zhao Ya did not want to expose their tacit understanding.
"Meng 'er, Miao' er, you two follow me to Han Fu's residence. As for Chu Song …"
Before she could think of what to do, Chu Song said, "Young Master, I've thought about it. Gu Xuanren has been relying on the parasite for a long time, and Gu Xuanren used to be your enemy. Although I can't remember it now, I must have done some research on it to guard against it and even found a way to break it. Therefore, I want to look through my notes to see if I can find any clues."
Ying Feiyang frowned slightly and said, "Your medical knowledge is the key to dealing with Gu Xuanren. Moreover, Tie Shan's parasite is with you now. If Gu Xuanren wants to take it back, he might attack again. It's too dangerous for you to study it! "
Chu Song shook his head and said, "It's fine. Gu Xuanren is famous for being cautious. He might not dare to attack again after missing his first attack. Moreover, if he really dares to attack again, I'll be the bait to lure him out."
Ying Feiyang laughed and said, "Nonsense. With me here, how can you be the bait?"
"Let me do it," Qin Feng volunteered. "I'll protect our little Chu Song."
"Young Master, you still need to investigate. Sister Ya, look after Bi Youshu. I'm the only one in the villa who can protect Chu Song. If you're worried, you can send ten sisters to be my helpers. If anything happens to little Chu Song, just hold me responsible." Qin Feng smiled faintly. He also saw through Chu Song's plan but did not say it out loud. He volunteered to be watched.
"We'll do as you say." Ying Feiyang hesitated for a moment before nodding. Although she was still worried, as Qin Feng said, no one could protect Chu Song apart from her. "Alright, let's go. Miao 'er, Meng' er, follow me!"
After giving his orders, Ying Feiyang led the two girls to Han Fu's residence.
After some time, it was almost noon, but the sky outside was still dark. Dark clouds hung over the sky, and the autumn rain would not fall. It was the most depressing and made Ying Feiyang even more annoyed.
Time was tight. There were less than two days left. When the bell rang tomorrow, the demons would continue to lose their memories. No matter how much Ying Feiyang pretended to be the fearless Young Master Ling, he became more and more anxious as time passed.
Along the way, he felt uneasy. He kept thinking about the words of every demon in the library. Before he knew it, he arrived at the courtyard where Han Fu lived. After Ying Feiyang knocked on the door, the door opened. What entered his eyes was the figure that gave him the biggest headache.
His senior sister, senior aunt, and "madam" …
