Chapter 70 Detailed Explanation
Since Yuan Heng noticed that Jiang Yu was in a bad mood, he started paying attention to the two people behind him.
Although he was walking in front and did not dare to look back except for a glance to see her emotions, most of his attention was on the conversation and footsteps behind him.
Wei Xu and Jiang Yu did not avoid anyone during their conversation. Yuan Heng, whose attention was mostly on them, listened to every word they said. Naturally, he knew whose footsteps were coming closer and closer from behind him.
For some reason, he couldn't help but clench his fists and felt a little nervous.
"Senior Brother Yuan?" Jiang Yu leaned half of his body out from behind him.
Yuan Heng's heart tightened inexplicably, and he subconsciously scratched his index finger with his nails. He lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Yu's head, his face still calm: "Junior sister."
Jiang Yu smiled at him, stood up straight, with a smile on his face, and repeated the question he had already heard.
Yuan Heng tilted his head to look at Sang Yang, who was covering her mouth and pulling Fang He away. He frowned slightly, and while vaguely sensing that something was wrong with her, he answered Jiang Yu's question in a low voice.
"They are not the same person." He answered, taking slightly smaller steps. "There were originally two medical practitioners in the City Lord's Mansion. One was the one you met yesterday. He was not allowed to come into contact with the City Lord on weekdays. He usually only treated the guards and maids in the mansion. The other one was disguised as an evil demon. The medical practitioner that Wen Ren Huai mentioned for treating him and Chu Qingyue was this evil demon, so naturally no one would notice anything was wrong."
As for why an evil demon disguised as a doctor sneaked into the mansion without being discovered, Jiang Yu understood even if Yuan Heng didn't explain.
Just like the two people at the gate of Chu Qingyue's yard, someone used spiritual energy to cover them.
No wonder.
She said that last time Jun Mo's old injury relapsed and he was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep. The doctor dismissed him by saying it was a psychological problem and didn't even prescribe any medicine. In the end, it was Sang Yang who played the soothing song.
It turns out that the medical practitioner was a fake. No wonder the old injury recurred and became a psychological problem.
She nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Then Qin Yin has been guarding in front of Chu Qingyue's door for so long, and didn't find anything wrong?"
Yuan Heng shook his head: "Not at first. First, Wen Ren Huai set up various formations in the room under the pretext of letting Chu Qingyue recover from her injuries, so she couldn't detect the evil spirit in the secret room; second, Wen Ren Huai explicitly forbade her to enter or leave Chu Qingyue's room. Although she had doubts, Chu Qingyue later told her to just stay outside. She thought Chu Qingyue was going to stay in seclusion to recover from her injuries, so she just stayed outside the door."
"Retreat to recover?" Jiang Yu was puzzled. "This doesn't make sense. When we came here, didn't everyone say that Chu Qingyue was still unconscious? How can an unconscious person recover from his injuries?"
Yuan Heng explained: "Wen Ren Huai told her this in order to confuse the evil spirit. The city lord and his wife, one is seriously injured and the other is unconscious. Perhaps this will make the other party relax their vigilance and reveal their true intentions."
He thought for a moment and continued, "She originally thought that the fake medical practitioner was also sent by Wen Ren Huai to perform a show, and she didn't realize anything was wrong until she saw the fake medical practitioner and two guards entering and leaving Chu Qingyue's room. Only then did she realize that something was wrong and forced her way in."
"You should be able to guess what happened next."
Jiang Yu nodded: "So Chu Qingyue has been imprisoned since she sent the letter for help to the Sun Moon Immortal Sect."
So the reason why they were stopped outside the city gate was not because the city lord's wife and the city lord failed to notify the guards in time. It was obvious that one was imprisoned and unable to notify, and the other needed the guards to delay time for him, right?
Yuan Heng responded, "When Chu Qingyue sent the letter for help, she had not yet noticed Wen Ren Huai's situation. She just felt that the people in the city were in a panic and Wen Ren Huai was in a 'coma'. She and Qin Yin didn't know how long they could hold on, so they thought of asking the Sun Moon Immortal Sect for help." "After Wen Ren Huai woke up and knew that she had asked the Sun Moon Immortal Sect for help, he tore his face off and imprisoned her, and announced to the public that Chu Qingyue had fallen into a coma again after he woke up." He recalled the content of questioning Chu Qingyue and Qin Yin and interrogating Wen Ren Huai with Song Hui and Song Lian before. "Chu Qingyue didn't live in that courtyard originally. She originally lived with Wen Ren Huai in another courtyard, and she didn't know when Wen Ren Huai built a secret room in the mansion. When Wen Ren Huai moved her there on the pretext of recuperating, she learned that there was another mystery under the City Lord's Mansion."
Jiang Yu imitated Wei Xu's previous behavior and made a "tsk" sound.
Wenren Huaidu has been the city lord of Lingdu for twenty years. Twenty years, although not a lot of time for a cultivator, but for Lingdu, it was enough time for him to hollow out the underground of the city lord's mansion without anyone noticing.
“There are things I don’t understand too!”
Fang He, who was pulled to the other side by Sang Yang but had been paying attention to the movements here, raised his voice and said, "Since Chu Qingyue was imprisoned, why did she tell Qin Yin to stay outside instead of telling Qin Yin the truth?"
Yuan Heng glanced in his direction and said, "Although Qin Yin's cultivation is good, Wen Ren Huai's cultivation is far better than hers. Moreover, Wen Ren Huai had not yet been attacked by the blood formation. If he really wanted to do something to Qin Yin, it would be easy. Chu Qingyue is in Wen Ren Huai's hands, so naturally she doesn't want Qin Yin to be involved."
Fang He said "Oh" as if he suddenly understood.
Jiang Yu curled his lips. After all, it was because Wen Ren Huai did a good job on the surface. They almost suspected Chu Qingyue at the beginning, but they didn't suspect Wen Ren Huai.
She really couldn't understand Wen Ren Huai. He seemed like a collection of contradictions. On the one hand, he loved his people like his own children and worked hard for them; on the other hand, he was cruel and ruthless, and personally delivered his own people into the hands of evil.
On the one hand, he handed the person beside him as a sacrifice to the evil demon and sent him into the blood array, showing his cruel and heartless behavior; on the other hand, he left a suicide note before committing suicide, asking them to treat his wife well, showing his infatuated appearance.
On the one hand, he is a loyal follower of Jing Mo, and on the other hand, he says that he is the one chosen by heaven.
On some level, she admired this person very much. If it were her, she would have to drive herself crazy to do these things at the same time, which seemed like something that the same person could do.
It still has to be Wen Ren Huai, and it still has to be an evil cultivator.
Only those who are not bound by the various moral rules of the world can wander freely between good and evil without scruples and guilt.
However, the Tiandao side where Jiang Yu belongs cannot accept such people and ideas.
In their eyes, good is good and evil is evil. If good and evil cannot be distinguished, and right and wrong are confused, the world will be in chaos.
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Jiang Yu smiled, "I don't have anything else to ask."
She turned to look at Fang He, who also waved his hand: "I have none either."
Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky. Above the vast sky, she tried to glimpse the heaven that had arranged her life and written her ending.
