As he asked this question, Ye Zichen grew nervous.
He looked closely into Xue Beibei's eyes, not daring to miss even the slightest change in her expression.
"Do you want to know who he is?"
Unexpectedly, a troubled expression appeared on Xue Beibei's face. She supported her face with her hands and pouted.
"In truth, I don't know all that much about him."
"Then can you tell me everything you know?" asked Ye Zichen.
"Of course." Xue Beibei pursed her lips. "From the moment I was born, or rather, from the moment Eldest Sister was born, that criminal has been locked up in the dungeon." "You might not understand, but the prisoners in the dungeon are all outsiders who came to the Xue Family to steal information. "You might not know this, but all the prisoners are outsiders who came to the Xue Family to steal information," said Xue Beibei. "But my dad won't kill them. He'll just lock them up and let them go after a certain amount of time," said Xue Beibei.
Ye Zichen sighed.
"Great Emperor Xue Yang is truly merciful," sighed Ye Zichen.
"My dad said that cultivation isn't easy. These people came to the Xue Family for the sake of their clans. Besides, they've all been captured. They didn't do anything to harm the Xue Family, so he spared their lives and told them to turn over a new leaf, "explained Xue Beibei.
"What about the third floor?" "That criminal is a bit strange. When I was young, I didn't know any better, so I snuck into the dungeons to play, then went to the third floor. He gave it to me …. Then I came out." Xue Beibei changed the topic abruptly. "Then I went to find Big Sis and Second Sis. Big Sis told me not to go back to the dungeons.
Since then, I've never been inside again. "
"Then …." Ye Zichen was a bit anxious.
Xue Beibei felt like she was telling a story. She'd said quite a bit, but she'd never gotten to the point.
"What's the rush? I'll tell you slowly." Xue Beibei glared at him. "I'm just too curious. I asked Big Sis, but she wouldn't tell me why, so I went to find Big Sister Qianhe." "Big Sister Qianhe told me that a major criminal was locked up there. She didn't know the specifics, but batch after batch of prisoners left the dungeons, but he'd always been locked up on the third floor. I don't know how long he'd been there for. She also said that in the entire Xue Family, perhaps only Dad and the two patriarchs knew.
She told me not to ask too much. "
"No more?" Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows.
"No more!" Xue Beibei nodded. "Since you didn't want me to ask any more questions, of course I didn't. After that, I didn't take a single step into the dungeon. That's all I know. I've told you everything I can."
"Didn't you say that you were very curious? Did you give up without getting any results? "
"When I was young, I was afraid of my dad. Sister Qianhe told me to ask him, but I didn't have the guts," muttered Xue Beibei.
"Is Great Emperor Xue Yang the only one who knows?" Ye Zichen fell silent.
Now, he was full of curiosity about the prisoners in the third floor of the dungeon. He really wanted to know who the devil was. He had a hunch …
The fiend imprisoned inside was definitely not an ordinary fiendcelestial!
Rumor had it that before the current Demon Emperor, Kui Lin, had ascended to the throne, the old Demon Emperor had disappeared from the demon race in his prime. Since then, there had been no news of him.
Later, the Demon Gods had supported Kui Lin, but even now, there had been no news of the old Demon Emperor.
When the old Demon Emperor was still alive, the demons were the strongest of the three races. The Yao Emperor, the Eastern Monarch Taiyi, was no match for him. Back then, the gods didn't have a God Emperor, so the Five Elements Great Emperor and the current God Emperor, Zhou Wu, controlled them.
When such a tyrannical old Demon Emperor suddenly disappeared without a trace, some said he'd gone to the Outside and been killed. Others said he'd grown tired of his position and retired to live in seclusion.
But in the eyes of those with a discerning eye, none of these reasons made sense. No matter how strong the Outsiders were, the old Demon Emperor was the strongest beneath the transcendence realm. There was no way the Outsiders could kill him without a trace. If he'd grown tired of his position, he could've chosen to trust the Demon Emperor and abdicate. He cared deeply about the demons, so there was no way he'd just go into seclusion and leave the demons leaderless.
The demons' strength had been overtaken by the gods and yao.
Ye Zichen had only heard these rumors casually, so he hadn't paid them much attention.
But now, in the Xue Family's dungeons, he'd found a prisoner stronger than any great emperor he'd ever met. He was terrifyingly strong ….
He couldn't help but associate this with the Demon Emperor who had disappeared from the Demon Race.
If the prisoner really was the old Demon Emperor, then why was he in the Xue Family's dungeons? What did the Xue Family have to do with the old Demon Emperor's disappearance?
Could it be that the Xue Family was in cahoots with the demons?
At that moment, Xue Beibei jumped onto the bed, grabbed Ye Zichen's face, and yelled, "Hey, what are you thinking about? I'm talking to you! Did you hear me?"
It was only then that Ye Zichen came to his senses. Xue Beibei let go and put her hands on her hips.
"What's wrong with you? I'm talking to you, but you're ignoring me?"
"Beibei, what did you just say?" asked Ye Zichen.
"That big idiot's transmission device has a bunch of mini-games on it. I really like playing them. I want one too." Xue Beibei frowned.
"No problem. I'll give you one in a few days," agreed Ye Zichen.
"Alright, it's a deal!" Xue Beibei giggled and jumped off the bed. Ye Zichen said, "Beibei, you absolutely can't tell your dad or anyone else what we talked about today. Got it?"
"I know, but it feels so weird lying to my dad. Besides, if you really want to know the specifics, you'll have to ask him. "
Xue Beibei blinked, then laughed evilly. "Let me tell you, Dad loves Second Sister the most. I heard from Grandpa Hermit Emperor that you're the only one who can save her. Given your personality, you'll definitely save her unconditionally. But I suggest you use this to threaten my dad. Who knows? He might tell you everything. I'll give you some advice. That treasure is yours!
But you have to give it to me. I want a good one. I don't want anything too bad. "
Xue Beibei batted her eyes and giggled mischievously. She muttered to Ye Zichen to hurry up and give it to her, then dashed out of the room.
When Xiao Yumei and Pu Jingwan heard that, they couldn't help but stare in shock.
"It's always said that children cheat their parents. There's nothing wrong with that at all. For the sake of a phone, they'd even sell their own father. I really don't know what Great Emperor Xue Yang would think."
"But that's one way, isn't it?"
"No!"
Ye Zichen shook his head.
Threatening Xue Yang was out of the question. He had to save Xue Mo.
