Qin Yi finally understood why Captain Qian was assured to hand them over to the two soldiers.
Although it was partly because of trust, it was more because he was not worried that Qin Yi would run away. Even if he ran away, he would never succeed.
With the presence of these two soldiers, the two did not encounter any interrogation along the way. They came to a house very smoothly.
The area of this house was not big, and the decoration was not luxurious, but some flowers and plants were planted. The layout of the surrounding layout was very pleasing to Qin Yi and Lu Yu.
Obviously, the owner of this house was an elegant person.
"Report! Two people have returned to the island. I was ordered by Captain Qian to bring them here. "
The sonorous voice instantly spread throughout the courtyard, and someone quickly responded.
"You can stay. You can leave."
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the two soldiers did not hesitate at all. They turned around and left the courtyard in unison.
"You two, come in."
An indifferent voice came from the house again. Qin Yi and Lu Yu naturally knew the identity of the speaker.
This person was the gloomy old man who tricked everyone into Devil Spirit Island with the reputation of collecting elixirs.
At this moment, Qin Yi and Lu Yu didn't hesitate and walked directly into the house in front of them.
Sure enough, the person sitting in the room was the old man. His face was calm, without sadness or joy, so that people couldn't see the slightest emotion on his face.
In addition to the gloomy old man, there were two other people who were out of Qin Yi's expectation.
These two people were acquaintances of Qin Yi.
One was the fairy of the Mirage Flower Palace, Xu Qing, and the other was Sister Yun's brother, Fang Lei.
In Devil Spirit Island, Qin Yi had contact with both of them. Fang Lei naturally didn't need to say much. If it weren't for Qin Yi, Fang Lei would have died on Devil Spirit Island.
At this moment, Fang Lei could sit here. Perhaps something happened to the Luo Fu Sect, causing those people to recommend Fang Lei, who was the strongest.
But at this moment, both Qin Yi and Fang Lei knew that they must not recognize each other. They absolutely could not recognize each other. If they did, even if the old man couldn't find any flaws, Xu Qing would definitely be able to find some clues.
On Devil Soul Island, Qin Yi had witnessed Xu Qing's strength and intelligence.
Although she was young, her intelligence had already reached the point where Qin Yi would definitely be careful when dealing with her.
Lu Yu wasn't a fool either. He understood these principles. However, in order to avoid accidentally exposing himself, he simply lowered his head and remained silent.
As for Xu Qing, Qin Yi knew her, but she didn't know Qin Yi.
After all, at that time, Qin Yi walked into her line of sight with the identity of a cripple. Needless to say, there was no way Xu Qing would associate him with that timid and cautious cripple.
When the two sides met, no one took the initiative to speak. The scene fell into silence.
Since Fang Lei didn't intend to recognize Qin Yi, he naturally treated him as a stranger. He just sat on the chair next to him with an indifferent face.
As for Xu Qing, her pair of beautiful eyes kept sizing up Qin Yi. She seemed to be very interested in Qin Yi.
Qin Yi was even more straightforward. He put his hands behind his back and stood in the same place. He looked at the three indifferently, but he also seemed very calm.
In the end, it was the old man sitting in the middle who broke the silence.
"I don't like to talk nonsense. Since you two dared to go out of the island, it seems that you have completed the task that I gave you in the contract, right? "
Qin Yi nodded with a faint smile. He immediately took out all the elixirs collected from Devil Soul Island. Lu Yu also followed suit and took out the elixirs for the old man to check.
The old man roughly glanced at them, then he waved his sleeves and put away the elixirs. From the beginning to the end, he didn't show too much interest in these elixirs that he had spent a lot of effort to get.
The old man looked at the two indifferently and continued, "I am a man of my word. Since you have completed the task, you will get what you deserve. But there is one thing that I must confirm with you. "
Qin Yi was neither servile nor overbearing. Facing the old man's sharp gaze, he directly chose to look at him, "Senior helped us out on Cloud Island, and I have always been grateful for that. Senior, if you have any questions, just ask. I will answer truthfully. "
"Very good!" The old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your temperament is a little similar to mine when I was young. Since that's the case, I will get straight to the point. In Devil Soul Island, apart from picking elixirs, have you ever seen anyone you shouldn't have seen or taken anything you shouldn't have? "
The old man's question was also within Qin Yi's expectation, "Senior, your words are a bit unkind. Not long after I entered Devil Soul Island, I was continuously pursued and found out about my identity as a target. Since I found out about my identity and was able to return alive, a battle was unavoidable, right? "
The old man had lived for so long and was already a sly old man. If Qin Yi didn't answer truthfully, it would instead arouse more suspicion.
As expected, when he heard Qin Yi's answer, the old man's eyes flickered, and then he nodded, "At least you are honest and didn't quibble in front of me. Since you already know the inside story of this trip, I believe you should know these two before you, right? "
Qin Yi laughed and said, "Senior, you must be joking. To be able to stand before you, they must be the top geniuses of the three sects of the Cloud Sea Empire. Although I have some tricks up my sleeves, I also know my own limits. If I meet these top geniuses on Devil Soul Island, I will definitely take a detour. "
The old man didn't speak immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and frowned slightly. Without a doubt, he was thinking about how credible Qin Yi's words were.
Not only the old man, but Xu Qing was also in deep thought. She was searching her memory for any memories related to Qin Yi.
After a long time, the old man finally spoke. However, he wasn't talking to Qin Yi. Instead, he turned to Xu Qing and said in a polite tone, "Fairy, do you have any impression of these two people?"
Xu Qing tried her best to search her mind, but in the end, she couldn't find anything. She raised her head and smiled, "Elder Zhou, I have never met these two people before. Otherwise, I would definitely remember them. However, as for the murderer that Ding Hao mentioned, I have never seen him show his face. "
Xu Qing's words confirmed Qin Yi's words. At the same time, it increased the suspicion of Qin Yi and Fang Lei.
Elder Zhou nodded slightly as if he had an answer. He didn't continue to ask Fang Lei, but directly shot a sharp gaze at Qin Yi.
"Let me ask you, do you know Ding Hao?"
"If it's Ding Hao, then everyone who entered Devil Soul Island, as long as they are alive, should know him, right? I heard that this person fell into a trap of his own making and reaped what he sowed! To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that the trial geniuses and trial targets hate this person to the core, right? "
Elder Zhou's gaze turned cold and a shocking pressure shot out from his eyes.
