In the face of Han Yunxi's doubts, Long Fei Ye gave a rather certain answer. He said, "This matter must be related to the Seven Demons Dagger. Otherwise, with the murderer's ability to collect bones, he didn't need to find a living person. He could have just found a few corpses in the memorial hall. "
The Seven Demons Dagger was not an auspicious or inauspicious item. Was there any secret hidden in the Seven Demons Dagger?
Han Yunxi nodded. Now they could only wait for Xu Donglin to return with the list so that they could search for the murderer.
Although there weren't many clues, it wasn't difficult for Han Yunxi to find the murderer after determining the scope.
This was because the detoxification system had already remembered the poison in Tsui Yun's body. In other words, the detoxification system had already recorded the poison in the Seven Demons Dagger. If Han Yunxi encountered it again, the detoxification system would send out a reminder as long as it was within a certain distance. The Seven Demons Dagger was such an important and small item. The murderer would naturally carry it with him.
It had to be said that the murderer hid it very well. If Han Yunxi's detoxification system didn't have such a powerful detection function, Han Yunxi wouldn't have been able to find the poison in the lake and the corpse would never have been found.
Generally speaking, a corpse would float to the surface a few days after sinking into the water, and then sink forever.
However, there was a whirlpool in the lake. Tsui Yun's corpse couldn't float to the surface at all. Therefore, no one would ever find the corpse. The corpse would disappear forever, just like the corpse in the memorial hall, leaving no clues for the investigators.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were discussing this issue when they suddenly stopped and looked at each other.
"Long Fei Ye, could it be that the murderer knew that there was a whirlpool in the lake?" Han Yunxi asked.
"It must be so. Otherwise, with her ability, she could have taken the corpse away and destroyed the evidence. There was no need to rush to get rid of it. "Long Fei Ye said.
The murderer must have known that there was a whirlpool in the lake that could destroy the corpse forever, so she threw the corpse away and disposed of it.
The Yinyang Lake had always been a taboo in Qingchuan Water City. The people in Qingchuan City didn't like to get too close to the lake, let alone swim in it.
How did the murderer know that there was a whirlpool in the lake? What was the power in the depths of the whirlpool?
"Baili Mingxiang, go to the bottom of the lake and have a look." Long Fei Ye ordered.
"Yes!" Baili Mingxiang didn't dare to look at Long Fei Ye. She lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, the bottom of the lake is very deep. With this servant's ability, it will take at least two or three days to reach the bottom."
Long Fei Ye nodded and ordered a Shadow Guard to accompany Baili Mingxiang into the water. "Be careful. Report to me immediately if anything happens."
Han Yunxi looked at Baili Mingxiang and said seriously, "Be careful!"
With His Highness and Princess's words, the frightened Baili Mingxiang became much braver. Just like in the illusory realm of the wordless monument, she earnestly reported, "Your Highness, Princess, don't worry. This servant will definitely not disappoint you!"
Xu Donglin, on the other hand, spent an entire night investigating the bone collectors.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi didn't leave Yinyang Lake. Since they had already alerted the enemy, they didn't mind staying here.
This mystery seemed to have cleared up a little, but at the same time, there were more doubts.
"I wonder how Gu is doing?" Han Yunxi sighed softly.
Fortunately, the murderer only wanted women's bones. Otherwise, she really couldn't imagine Gu's situation. Judging from the murderer's martial arts, it must be above Gu's!
"He has a tough life. He won't die. Don't worry." Long Fei Ye said lightly. He didn't know when it started, but whenever Han Yunxi mentioned Gu, he didn't feel as disgusted as before.
Had he changed his opinion of Gu Qishao? Or did he understand Han Yunxi's feelings better?
Time always passed quickly while waiting. When it was time for dual cultivation, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi didn't waste any time. Long Fei Ye cautiously had the Shadow Guard stand guard around them, not allowing anyone to approach.
The matter of dual cultivation was related to their martial arts cultivation, and more importantly, it was related to their lives. They couldn't stop for a single day in three months, or else they could enter cultivation deviation. Long Fei Ye's consequences would be even more severe than Han Yunxi's.
By the time they finished cultivating, it was already late at night. Long Fei Ye sat by the lake while Han Yunxi lay on the grass, her head resting on his lap. The two of them stared at the lake, their hearts calm for once.
They had been too busy recently. They had been busy in the Baili Army, in the Three-Way Black Market, and in the Hundred Poisons Sect. Then they had rushed from Hundred Poisons Sect to the Poison Sect to the Three-Way Black Market, then back to Water City from the Three-Way Black Market. The two of them were so busy that their feet touched the ground.
They had forgotten how long it had been since they had sat down so peacefully, doing nothing, thinking nothing, just keeping each other company.
Long Fei Ye gently played with Han Yunxi's hair and asked gently, "Tired?"
Han Yunxi looked up and saw the moonlight illuminating Long Fei Ye's face. It made him look especially gentle, like the moon and water.
"With you here, I'm not tired," she replied.
"Scared?" Long Fei Ye asked again.
"With you here, I'm not scared," Han Yunxi replied with a smile.
As long as he was by her side, she wasn't afraid of anything. She wasn't tired.
Perhaps this was called a sense of security.
Long Feiye gently caressed her cheek before taking her hand and placing it by his lips. "Then be good and sleep. I'll call you when Xu Donglin comes. "
Han Yunxi wasn't sleepy at all, but hearing Long Fei Ye's gentle words made her want to sleep.
She rubbed against his thigh for a long time before finding the most comfortable position to use as a pillow and curl up by his side. Even if she wasn't sleepy, she could still calm her heart and cultivate sleep, enjoying this moment of peace and quiet.
Perhaps it was too comfortable, or perhaps it was too safe, but Han Yunxi soon began to feel drowsy. In her daze, she only felt like they had returned to the bamboo hut in Jiangnan's Plum Blossom Sea.
He was sitting like this with her pillow on his thigh, quietly watching the falling snow. Unknowingly, she fell asleep.
She couldn't go back this year, but she hoped she could next year. She had to go back!
In her daze, Han Yunxi began to talk in her sleep. "Feiye …"
"I'm here," Long Fei Ye intoned.
"I like you, I like you so much …"
Han Yunxi really was talking in her sleep. She was dreaming that she had returned to Jiangnan's Plum Blossom Sea. Back then, she had already liked him very, very much.
Long Fei Ye looked at her sleepy face and didn't answer, but his lips curved into a smile.
He discovered that sometimes, watching her sleep was more satisfying than tormenting her.
"I knew it long ago," he murmured.
After daybreak, Xu Donglin sent over a detailed list of names of all the corpse collectors, bone collectors, and bone ornaments shops in the city.
One night wasn't long, so Xu Donglin naturally had his ways and means to take care of everything. Otherwise, he wouldn't be worthy of being Long Fei Ye's number one retainer.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi returned to the inn to tidy up and disguise themselves as a pair of husband and wife traveling the jianghu. Long Fei Ye changed out of his usual black robes for a white brocade robe. He held a folding fan and looked like a noble young master. Han Yunxi wore a long pink dress and looked rather playful.
When the two of them walked together, they didn't look like an Old Man and his wife who had been married for many years, but like newlyweds.
In Xu Donglin's eyes, the two of them looked at least four years younger. They weren't old to begin with, so their usual clothes were too low-key and steady, making them look more mature.
Han Yunxi crossed off all the corpse collectors' names. She was only looking for them to find the bone collectors who were in cahoots with them. Since Xu Donglin had helped her with this task, she could save herself some effort.
It wasn't easy to find a corpse collector, but it was even harder to find a reason to interact with them. Therefore, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye started their search from the bone jewelry store.
They visited quite a few shops. Some of them hid the fact that they were selling human bones and lied that the bone products in their shops were made from the bones of large beasts. There were also some shops that told them directly that many of the large ornaments in their shops were made from human bones and were sold in imitation of beast bones. Long Fei Ye was responsible for selecting things, asking about the price and origin. Han Yunxi didn't say a word, observing the store owner and the servants in the store.
At first, they didn't find anything. However, when it was close to night, they entered a store called "True Love". This store was very special.
The bone jewelry in the store wasn't big. They weren't ornaments, but jewelry, head ornaments, and pendants. Moreover, they were all couples' designs.
As soon as Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi entered the door, they noticed that there was only a servant and a proprietress in the store. The Lady Boss was very young. She was cold and beautiful, stunning anyone who saw her at first glance.
Han Yunxi quietly started the detoxification system. Long Fei Ye just looked at the proprietress and whispered, "She's a martial artist. She knows martial arts."
Han Yunxi didn't detect any poison. "I didn't find the dagger Qi Sha. Let's take a look."
The proprietress didn't take care of them. She let them choose at will in the store. Han Yunxi walked around with Long Fei Ye and said, "Proprietress, is this the only style in your store? Is there anything special? I want to buy one for my husband. "
Today, Han Yunxi had already given Long Fei Ye a lot of gifts, but they were all thrown away by him as soon as he left the store. This was the first time this woman gave him a gift. Long Fei Ye was very helpless.
The proprietress looked Han Yunxi up and down and said Coldly, "If there's something special, you might not dare to give it to him."
"There's nothing in this world that I don't dare to do. What is it? Let's hear it!" Han Yunxi pretended to be arrogant.
However, the proprietress still didn't take her seriously. She said lazily, "It's the treasure of my store. It's called Unforgettable."
Unforgettable?
This word made Han Yunxi immediately think of the signboard "True Love" at the entrance.
"What is it?" Han Yunxi was curious. Long Fei Ye also looked over, seemingly interested.
Unexpectedly, the proprietress took out a dagger and pressed it on the table.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were both alert. Han Yunxi quickly determined that the dagger wasn't Qi Sha.
"What do you mean?" Han Yunxi asked.
The Lady Boss raised her other hand. She was wearing a very special bracelet on her hand. This bracelet was programmed with hemp rope. There was a bead-shaped bone on the hemp rope. There seemed to be words engraved on it.
The proprietress gently stroked the bone on the bracelet and said, "This was a gift from my husband on the day of my wedding. This bone was taken from the remaining bone in his body. "
Han Yunxi and Long Feiye were both surprised. The proprietress then told Han Yunxi, "Engraved in the Bones and Engraved in the Heart means taking a piece of bone from your body and polishing it into an ornament for your loved one. Madam, do you still dare to give it to him? "
