For him to say something like this at a time like this, it was clear that he knew that he was going to die for sure. He knew that he wasn't far from death, and he had no other choice. He didn't have any ties with anyone else, so the only person he could plead with was Yue Yao.
Yue Yao was moved, but she felt more grief and indignation. Jiang Yiyi had already admitted that he was a spy from the Hero Ensemble. "Were you really sent by the Hero Ensemble to get close to Grace Villa?"
"Yes …" Jiang Yiyi dragged out his words, "More than a thousand years ago, ten secluded cultivation sites were attacked. There were manors, farms, Daoist temples, docks, villages … At first, the higher-ups didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the world is so big, and fighting and killing are all too common. They couldn't investigate any of them. Later, when the information was gathered, it was discovered that all ten locations were attacked at the same time. This immediately caught the attention of the Hero Ensemble, and after investigating, they couldn't find the culprit in any of them. They were scattered all over the world, attacked at the same time, and yet they couldn't find the culprit. This attracted the attention of the Hero Ensemble even more. After investigating for a few decades, they still couldn't find any clues, so they gradually gave up. "
As soon as he said this, the furious Miao Yi subconsciously turned around and exchanged glances with Yun Zhiqiu. They both felt that the situation Jiang Yiyi described was a little familiar.
Yue Yao was a little agitated. She panted and said, "Since they gave up, why did they find me again?"
Jiang Yiyi sighed, "Maybe it's because you're too beautiful and eye-catching, leaving a deep impression on others. A few years ago, someone from the Hero Ensemble saw you. A few hundred years later, that person accidentally discovered that you, who were originally at the destroyed Tranquility Villa, were actually in the vicinity of Grace Villa. As a result, the Hero Ensemble focused their attention on Grace Villa once more. Originally, it was nothing. They just wanted to find out the truth of the matter, but they found that Xiushui Villa was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. They used all kinds of methods, even using the honey trap, but they still couldn't extend their tentacles into the villa. A mere Hermit Villa actually had such a tight defense, which immediately aroused the strong interest of the Great Ensemble. Seeing that it didn't work on the men in the villa. Therefore, I set my sights on you, the woman, as the target to pry it open. Originally, this kind of mission wasn't within my scope, and I didn't want to accept this mission because I had a great responsibility, and it wasn't appropriate for me to reveal too much. However, the Great Ensemble just had to find me. The reason was that I was experienced in dealing with women. Secondly, even if my identity was exposed, it wouldn't alert the enemy. This was because I was the perverted traitor Jiang Yiyi, the infamous wanted criminal of the Heavenly Court. The Great Ensemble explained the cause and effect clearly. After reminding me of many things that I needed to pay attention to, I understood the whole story and had no choice but to agree to this mission. "
Yue Yao struggled agitatedly in Qian'Er's hands. "You've been tricking me all along!"
After so many years, a man finally opened her heart, but she didn't expect that he was a liar, and an extremely dangerous liar. He was gradually luring her into a trap. She wasn't stupid, but she fell into the trap of love and couldn't extricate herself. He had become like a fool. Suddenly waking up and realizing the truth, that kind of feeling was probably hard for outsiders to understand.
Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu, on the other hand, felt a mixture of shock and confusion. They finally understood the cause of all this.
Miao Yi had already explained everything so clearly. There was no way Miao Yi couldn't remember the person who had arranged for the Skypath Palace to massacre the strongholds of the Five Paths all those years ago. It was none other than Miao Yi himself. Never in his wildest dreams would Miao Yi have imagined that it was actually his own decision that caused his Little Sister to fall into such a state. Miao Yi himself was the one who caused his Little Sister to fall into such a state. This was truly karma.
Miao Yi was currently in a state of extreme frustration and regret. Apart from frustration, he was also shocked. He was shocked by the Great Ensemble's powerful detective skills. Today, he finally had a taste of it.
Yun Zhiqiu seemed to understand Miao Yi's feelings. She approached him again and tightened her grip on Miao Yi's wrist, which was slowly lowering his sword to the ground. She consoled him.
Even though Miao Yi had lost his temper many times today, she could understand him.
Jiang Yiyi said, "I admit that I had ulterior motives in the beginning when I lied to you. However, I didn't lie to you in the end. I've always been protecting you. Perhaps it's because we've known each other for hundreds of years. You might not believe me if I told you that I've truly fallen for you. "
With teary eyes, Yue Yao exclaimed, "I don't believe you!"
Jiang Yiyi continued, "Actually, when you fought me and revealed my true identity, I had already found out a little about you. I've been suspecting your identity ever since. Even though you've been trying to hide it, if my guess is correct, you're a remnant of the Six Paths. You should be cultivating the Six Paths' Boundless Great Arts!"
As soon as he said this, everyone's gazes immediately focused on him. Shock!
Yue Yao was dumbfounded!
Jiang Yiyi continued, "The Great Ensemble has spent a lot of effort to nurture someone like me. They've gathered the knowledge and experience of our predecessors and instilled them into our minds, all so that we can carry out our mission effectively. After I've found out your background, my mission is actually already complete. I can report this to the Heavenly Court, and they will immediately send out their forces to exterminate you or capture you for interrogation. There's nothing left for me to do after that. "
Hearing this, everyone was once again shocked by the Heavenly Court's extraordinary display. They could sense the terrifying scene behind the Heavenly Court's endless wrangling. It was like a ferocious monster hiding in the darkness.
Yue Yao cried out, "Then why didn't you report it? Why did you continue to take the risk?"
Jiang Yiyi replied, "Because I had my own selfish motives. I knew that with my own abilities, I wouldn't be able to shake off the Great Ensemble, much less rescue my younger sister from its clutches. However, the Six Paths had the strength to do so! After all, the Six Paths is one of the few forces in the world that can contend against the Heavenly Court! "After realizing that you're from the Six Paths, I was even a little excited, but also a little nervous. I thought that I'd found a breakthrough, a hope to solve my problem. Thus, I didn't report what I'd discovered. Instead, I'd been helping you shift the blame to the higher-ups, covering for you, and carefully interacting with you. "Actually, the best way was to start with you. That was indeed what I'd done in the beginning. However, later on, even I was confused. When I was with you and got close to you, I became afraid. I was afraid that you'd find out that I was using you. I even wanted to give up and escape."
At this moment, Yue Yao seemed to understand something. She was in a daze as she thought of the days they'd spent together. She could actually sense that he had fallen for her, and at the same time, she could also sense that he was avoiding her. She also knew that she had fallen for him. If he wanted it, she knew that she wouldn't be able to reject him and would give her body to him. However, he didn't do that.
However, there were some things that couldn't be allowed to continue being muddle-headed. He knew that it was impossible. Yue Yao came back to her senses and looked at him coldly.
Jiang Yiyi said, "Later on, when I received this mission, I heaved a sigh of relief and felt that I could finally put an end to this. I made up my mind to leave you, and at the same time, I gave the higher-ups a definite answer. I didn't find anything wrong with Beautiful Waters Villa. However, you can't stay there for long. If you want to move, you can't rush it. Otherwise, you'll still arouse the Great Ensemble's suspicions. Move slowly and disappear. "
With tears on her face, Yue Yao scoffed, "Do you think I'll still believe you? I'm afraid you're trying to convince me to agree to save your sister. I've already fallen for your trick once. Do you think I'm that stupid to fall for it a second time? "
Jiang Yiyi slowly lowered his head and didn't try to explain himself. He knew that some things only needed to be said once. If she was willing to help, then he would naturally do so. If she wasn't willing to help, then there was no point in saying anything else. He was only holding onto a sliver of hope.
Yue Yao didn't say anything else. She turned around and silently walked out of the prison cell. Her attitude was no different from throwing Jiang Yiyi over to Miao Yi and letting him do as he saw fit.
Yun Zhiqiu shot Qian'Er a look. She nodded in understanding and quickly followed after Jiang Yiyi.
The prison cell fell silent. Suddenly, Jiang Yiyi asked, "I'm curious. How did you know my identity?"
Clang! Miao Yi held his sword horizontally in front of him. He flicked the blade with his finger and said indifferently, "Is there a need for you to know?"
"That's true!" Jiang Yiyi lowered his head again. "Just give me a quick death!"
A murderous glint flashed across Miao Yi's eyes. He abruptly pulled back his sword and aimed it at Jiang Yiyi's heart. However, Yun Zhiqiu grabbed his wrist. Miao Yi turned around and glared at Yun Zhiqiu, asking coldly, "You want me to let him go?"
Yun Zhiqiu transmitted, "You can't kill him. Otherwise, you won't be able to answer to your superiors. At the very least, he can't die by your hand. Leave it to me. I will give you a satisfactory answer. You should go check on Little Sister. "
Miao Yi transmitted back, "Why should I? She asked for it!"
You think I don't know you? Yun Zhiqiu rolled his eyes and forcefully snatched the sword from Miao Yi's hand. Then, he transmitted back, "Don't take what she said to heart. All women have their first awakening of love. Under those circumstances, women are irrational and can't think rationally. The moment they fall in love, it's easy for them to do foolish things and say foolish things. I was like that with Feng Xuan all those years ago, let alone her. Also, let me tell you something. Earlier, Fei Hong was probably eavesdropping on our conversation from outside the dungeon. I've already asked Yan Xiu to keep an eye on her. I'm afraid you have no choice but to expose this paper-thin barrier between the two of you. "
Miao Yi was shocked. He stared at her with widened eyes. As expected, his attention had been successfully diverted.
"I'm not joking. You don't have to stare at me like that! This can be considered an internal matter of the family. As usual, I have the final say in the family. You don't have to worry about Fei Hong's matter. Leave it to me. I will think of a way to deal with it. I'll look for you when I need your help. Alright, you should go check on your Little Sister. I'm afraid she's having a hard time right now. "Yun Zhiqiu gave him a shove.
Only after pushing Miao Yi out of the dungeon did she slowly walk back. Raising her sword, she brushed aside the hair hanging down Jiang Yiyi's face and calmly said, "Leave a letter behind. A letter that can confirm your identity to your little sister. Otherwise, she won't believe that we were entrusted by you to save her."
Jiang Yiyi abruptly raised his head. "Are you really willing to help me save her?"
"I can't guarantee that I'll be able to save her, and I can't guarantee that I'll do my best either. I can only promise that I will fulfill this promise if it's permitted." Yun Zhiqiu held her sword horizontally in her hand, her slender fingers gently caressing the edge of the blade. The blade shone so brightly that one could see her own reflection. "You know too much. I won't let you leave the phantom city's main manor alive. Even if the Celestial Court comes, I can guarantee that you won't be able to leave the phantom city alive. You should be able to understand that the Kou Family won't allow you to take away such a secret no matter the cost. However, I don't want to kill you. "
Jiang Yiyi asked, "What do you mean?"
