In the room, Qi Jinyao stood in front of Qi'ar with her head lowered, her face flushed and her voice like a mosquito.
She pinched the corners of her clothes uneasily with both hands, her palms already covered with sweat.
It can be seen that she is very nervous.
But it wasn't because she had cheated on Zial, but because she was about to cheat on Zial.
To her, who couldn't tell lies, this seemed like she was doing something treasonous.
The deep guilt made her panic so much that her breathing was trembling.
However, it was precisely because of her excessive panic that she concealed her guilty conscience and nervousness about lying, making it impossible for Zial to distinguish the truth from falsehood in her words.
"Oh, what did you deceive me about?"
Zial raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
His first reaction was not anger, but surprise and curiosity, because Qi Jinyao had never said anything to him about panic.
In his opinion, Qi Jinyao has not yet mastered the skill of "lying".
But it was precisely this thought that made him not doubt Qi Jinyao's initiative to admit his mistakes.
"Actually... Xiao Hei was not lost, but... was taken away by his owner. I know... I know where he went..."
Qi Jinyao stammered.
Every word sounds trembling.
She was too nervous.
Qi'ar looked startled when he heard this, and sat up straight, but then he showed a clear expression, as if he had expected that Qi Jinyao knew the whereabouts of the Blackpool Holy Beast.
Because during the period after the Blackpool Holy Beast was lost, Qi Jinyao's condition was indeed not right.
He suspected and questioned Qi Jinyao at the time, but Qi Jinyao replied that he didn't know. He thought Qi Jinyao would not lie, so he did not pursue the question further.
Thinking back on it now, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head, thinking: "It seems that the less capable a person is of lying, the more deceitful he is when he lies."
This is true.
For example, right now, he didn't even realize that Qi Jinyao, who couldn't lie, was weaving a lie trap for him.

"Where did the black-haired beast go?" Zial asked coldly.
He wanted to scold Qi Jinyao severely so that she would not dare to lie again in the future, but when he saw Qi Jinyao's pitiful appearance of being so frightened that her body could not control her trembling, he couldn't bear it and spared her this time.
"It followed its original owner to Bozhou City. Its original owner's home is in Bozhou City." Qi Jinyao replied.
"Bozhou City?" Zial frowned slightly.
Bozhou City is located to the north of Ji Le City, separated from Ji Le City by a city.
After the Blackpool Sacred Beast was lost, he once looked for it to the north, but couldn't find it that far.
"Ancestor, can you...can you..." Qi Jinyao faltered and couldn't speak.
"Can it be anything?"
"Can you go and bring Xiao Hei back? I...I miss him."
Zial smiled when he heard this and said: "I asked you to sign a master-servant contract with it, but you refused. Do you regret it now?"
"Yeah" Qi Jinyao nodded.
"Bozhou City is not far away. Come on, I will take you to catch it back."
"Ancestor, I...can I not go? If I go there, Xiao Hei will definitely guess that I betrayed it, and then it...won't like me." Qi Jinyao...
???????? Holding hands together, mustering up the greatest courage, he told the most important lie.
She wanted to take Zial away, then take the opportunity to slip away, escape from Zial's supervision, and go find the Holy Beast of Blackpool alone.
Although she didn't know where the Holy Beast of Blackpool had gone, she was confident that she would be able to find it.
And have made up my mind to do it.
Therefore, she spent more than ten nights thinking hard and finally came up with this way to remove Zial.
If Zial knew what she was thinking, he would point his finger at her head and scold her for being naive.
Zhongyue is so big, trying to find someone in a huge sea of people is basically like looking for a needle in a haystack. How can it be as easy as she thought?
However, "blind optimism" has always been a common problem among young people who have not experienced the world, and Qi Jinyao is no exception.
"How dare it?!" Zial's eyes widened and he said sternly: "This time you directly sign a master-servant contract with it, making it obey your words and never dare to betray you again."
Qi Jinyao was stunned when he heard this.
In her expectation, Zial would definitely agree to her request, and then go to Bozhou City alone to find the Blackpool Holy Beast. She never thought whether Zial would agree or not.
Then she panicked and didn't know what to say.
You must know that she spent more than ten nights thinking hard about this lie. It was really difficult for her to make up a new lie on the spot to save the situation.
But I saw Zia'er's expression softened, and he waved his hand and said: "That's all, if you don't want to go, then don't go. I will go alone, and I promise to help you catch that black-haired beast."
It's not that he is soft-hearted and doesn't want to embarrass Qi Jinyao, but he thinks that after finding the Blackpool Holy Beast, he will definitely use some extraordinary methods on the owner of the Blackpool Holy Beast to dig out the secrets in his heart. He doesn't want Qi Jinyao to see this, so he
Changed my mind.
Unexpectedly, it fell right into Qi Jinyao's arms.
Qi Jinyao was overjoyed when he heard this and said quickly: "I will wait here for you to come back."
Zial frowned and said, "I'm worried about you living here alone. How about I send you back to Liujiabao? How many days will you stay in Liujiabao?"
"That's okay." Qi Jinyao nodded, "I'm just afraid of disturbing others."
As long as she can get rid of Zial, she can agree to any conditions.
Zial smiled and waved his hand, saying: "I'm just staying for a few days, what's the point of disturbing you? Oh, by the way, what do you think of Liu Zhihuan?"
"Brother Liu is mature and stable, very good." Qi Jinyao replied.
"????????????????Like it?"
"Ancestor, what did you say?" Qi Jinyao stamped her feet and said coquettishly.
"Haha, you are a college girl getting married, what is there to be ashamed of? If you have feelings for that boy, I will help you make the decision and make a marriage contract with him."
"Ancestor, I'm still young."
"Don't you shout every day that you have grown up?"
"..."
…
It took Yan Mingchao six hours to make the new notches on the jade ring finger old.
Zhang Xiaozu held it in front of his eyes and observed it for a long time. He couldn't tell that the formation patterns on it were newly carved yesterday. He couldn't help but admire Yan Mingchao's craftsmanship.
The jade ring finger, which was originally simple and ancient, became even more extraordinary after adding an ancient formation with flowing light.
"Bless it and see."
"good."
Zhang Xiaozhu placed the jade ring finger in the palm of his left hand, and engraved it with his right hand, blessing it with the most effective meditation and spiritual nourishment spell.
Under the cover of the Hidden Truth Formation, the already hidden mantra of calming the mind and nourishing the mind becomes even more hidden.
Yan Mingchao held it in his hand and observed it carefully for a while, nodded with satisfaction, looked at Zhang Xiaozu and praised: "It can be seen that your attainments in formations are not low, and you have exquisitely combined the Meditation and Soul-Calming Mantra with the Zhenzhen Formation.
I think even Tianzun might not be able to tell whether it is true or false."
"Master is so complimentary."
"But... why is it a meditation mantra?" Yan Mingchao asked in confusion.
"?"
"What I mean is that the Meditation and Soul-Nourishment Mantra is the simplest Soul-Nourishing Mantra. Why don't you add a more advanced Soul-Nourishing Mantra? Let it have a stronger soul-nourishing effect."
