Chu Ye took Cheng Zhengqing into a cell very politely.
"It is not my intention to take you to the cell today, but I hope you can understand me for doing so."
Chu Ye waved his hand and asked Cui Dayong and others to leave first, and then said a little apologetically.
When Cheng Zhengqing followed Chu Ye and others to the city guard camp, he knew that he would face an interrogation. He was not surprised at all when he saw the cell.
On the contrary, Chu Ye's attitude made him a little surprised.
I didn't expect that the city guards would show such respect to those who were escorted back.
"To be honest, I am also an alchemist, and I admire Master Cheng's alchemy skills very much. However, I didn't expect that my first meeting with Master Cheng would be like this. It's really..."
As he said that, he shook his head regretfully.
"Is this little brother also an alchemist? How disrespectful!"
When Cheng Zhengqing heard Chu Ye identify himself, he became even more fond of him, his expression became softer, and he understood why Chu Ye was so polite to him.
"Master Cheng, in fact, your brother-in-law really got into a big trouble this time. The person the city guard was looking for was locked up in a formation in the garden. After his trace was discovered, he even
You want to use human hands to detonate the formation and destroy the corpses, so the major general is so angry..."
Chu Ye leaned close to Cheng Zhengqing's ear and told the story, 70% true and 30% false, and then shook his head regretfully.
"It is said that the person the Major General is looking for is someone who has been named by the people above to catch him. Now your brother-in-law not only kidnapped him, but also wanted to destroy his body and destroy him. Now that the matter has been revealed, he committed suicide, which is a complete solution, but he is suffering.
His servants, relatives and friends have all suffered, and even Master Cheng, you have to come and suffer as well."
"Oh? Is that useless brother-in-law actually kidnapping other people? Is he trapped in the formation in the garden?"
Cheng Zhengqing asked without leaving any trace.
Shouldn't the array in the garden contain all kinds of treasures and resources that he specially placed there? How did he become the girl imprisoned by his wife's brother?
But these are not important, what is important is...
What did the wife's brother do, and who was imprisoned?
By now, Cheng Zhengqing had completely believed Chu Ye's words. The cause of the matter was really because his wife's brother imprisoned an important person from the top of the Water Realm.
Now, Cheng Zhengqing no longer wants to avenge his brother-in-law. He just wants to know how far this idiot brother-in-law has gone and whether he has leaked his secrets!
"Isn't that right? Master Cheng, that brother-in-law of yours is so bold! And too reckless."
Chu Ye shook his head, with a look of disapproval on his face, but he was happy to speak.
The young master is indeed very powerful, and he bypasses Cheng Zhengqing as soon as he makes a move.
Next, as long as he makes the importance of the matter more serious, and then helps him with kind words and gives him a way out, Cheng Zhengqing will definitely leave on his own, and he will not dare to explore the truth~
, you can naturally sit back and relax.
However……
At this moment, Chu Qing, the weapon spirit in the Chaos Orb, suddenly sent a message to Chu Ye.
'Master, this person is wrong!'
wrong?
'What's wrong?'
'Master, when this person just answered your question, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the speed of spiritual energy circulation suddenly doubled. He was in a state of extreme tension and urgency.'
Chu Qing actually has the ability to judge a person's thoughts based on their heartbeat speed and spiritual energy movement speed?
This is awesome!
Chu Ye sighed subconsciously, but he didn't have the slightest doubt about Chu Qing's words.
Not to mention that he was Chu Qing's only master, Chu Qing would definitely not deceive him. It was just that Chu Qing had just completely awakened and controlled the Chaos Pearl, and his mind was very pure, and it was impossible to play any deceptive tricks.
Since Chu Qing said so, how about testing it out?
Just as Chu Ye was thinking about which angle to test, Cheng Zhengqing had already asked again.
"Little brother, you also know that I have always been outside collecting medicines. I have no idea about what is going on in Qingshui City, let alone what my brother-in-law has done. Since my brother-in-law is dead, he deserves it.
But I wonder if I can know what happened, so that I can explain it to my Taoist companions when I go back."
"Master Cheng's change of heart towards his fellow Taoists is really touching."
Chu Ye sighed and then shook his head in embarrassment.
"Master Cheng, you know, this is related to matters above, so I can't say more to you."
Cheng Zhengqing looked at Chu Ye's troubled expression and immediately understood. He took out a storage ring again and stuffed it into Chu Ye's hand.
"Little brother, please be accommodating. You know it anyway. I am definitely not suspicious. Telling me will not affect your subsequent search..."
Chu Ye pinched the storage ring in his hand and used his mental power to explore it, his heartbeat speeding up a bit.
The things in this ring are actually much more precious than the previous one.
The alchemist is really wealthy.
The young man accepted it unceremoniously.
Showing a greedy smile, Chu Ye approached Cheng Zhengqing, pretending not to see the contemptuous look in Cheng Zhengqing's eyes, but telling Chu Qing to pay close attention to Cheng Zhengqing's reaction.
"Master Cheng, I don't have much to say. All I know is that the person your brother-in-law arrested seems to be a girl who got lost with her family."
'Master, his heartbeat is a little faster!'
"Girl? Does that little brother know the identity of this girl, or who her family is?"
Hey, this old guy really has a ghost, and he also wants to find out the information from the young master.
Chu Ye blinked.
"This, this is the information given above, I don't know who that girl is!"
Seeing that Cheng Zhengqing looked a little disappointed, Chu Ye added another sentence.
"Oh, by the way, on the night when the formation was exploded, there seemed to be some unusual movements in the sky in Qingshui City."
"A strange movement? What's a strange movement? Is there any color?"
Cheng Zhengqing asked quickly.
'Master, his heartbeat has accelerated again, he is very excited now.'
Nonsense, it's already like this, even a fool can see that he is really excited now.
Chu Ye has now determined that there is indeed something wrong with Cheng Zhengqing.
The key is, what is his problem?
It all depends on what the young man will do. Unexpectedly, I just wanted to wipe my own butt, but in the end I caught a big fish.
This Cheng Zhengqing really has a ghost, or a big ghost!
"Master Cheng, I didn't seem to mention any color just now. What do you... know?"
"No, no, no, how is this possible! I just heard you say there was something strange, little brother, something strange in the dark night, so I would inevitably think of the color."
"That's right."
Chu Ye nodded.
Cheng Zhengqing also breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, this guy was a bit stupid and didn't notice anything was wrong.
"Speaking of which, that night, a pattern actually appeared in the sky. Guess what it was... it was a mythical beast!"
'Owner……'
'knew!'
Chu Ye secretly smiled. His heartbeat accelerated again and again. Cheng Zhengqing's heart seemed to be very healthy.
Then comes the final test.
"That mythical beast looks all red... it seems to be a phoenix."
