"This is the thousand-faced demon?"
The Fourth Prince, Zhao Liexian, looked from afar at Yuehan, who was locked up in a courtyard in the suburbs of the capital.
In his impression, the Thousand Faced Demon was a demon that could change into a myriad of forms. It had a green face and sharp fangs, but now, the Yuehan in front of him was no different from an ordinary girl next door.
Dressed in a bright yellow gown, her hair was tied up in a simple bun. She looked extremely delicate, and gave people a very comfortable feeling. The more you looked at her, the more you wanted to look at her.
As a prince, Zhao Liexian naturally had many beauties around him. He had seen all kinds of beauties, but this was the first time he had seen a girl as pure as jade, as beautiful as a lotus.
Although she was a prisoner, she did not show the slightest bit of fear or panic. Instead, she just sat quietly in the courtyard with the beautiful doll, looking up at the ginkgo tree above their heads.
The ginkgo tree was huge. It looked like a huge open umbrella, but also like a huge pavilion. Although it was a harsh winter, the leaves of the ginkgo tree were gradually turning yellow. The yellow leaves rustled and fell in the north wind, covering the ground with a layer of golden carpet. However, this did not diminish the magnificence and majesty of the tree. It stood upright in the courtyard, surrounded by no flowers. Only it stood proudly and alone.
When the cold wind blew, the fallen yellow leaves on the tree entangled with the fallen leaves on the ground and danced around the two of them. For a moment, there was actually a profusion of fallen petals, a beautiful scene.
Zhao Liexian glanced suspiciously at Chong Mi Jing next to him, only to feel that in this world of silver and yellow leaves, this Daoist Master's skin was really dazzlingly white, like a polished porcelain vase that had just been fished out of the water, making him feel a little dazzling.
Zhao Liexian looked at Li Chengfeng with disdain. Because of his natural political stance, many sects were close to him and had a deep personal relationship with him.
Among them, the Star City Gate was the sect closest to the Fourth Prince. Both sides had been friends for more than ten years, and he had known Chong Mi Jing for more than ten years. He knew this woman's character and strength, but when he saw Yuehan, he could not help but ask this question.
Because … Yuehan was nothing compared to her "illustrious monstrous name"!
Chong Mi Jing said calmly, "Your Highness, do you know why humans are fragile?"
Zhao Liexian thought for a moment, then said, "Because humans grow old and die!"
Chong Mi Jing shook her head and said, "No, because people are easily confused by their own eyes and ears.
You see her as a beautiful woman, delicate and pitiful, but I see her as a demon! "
Zhao Liexian was lustful, but he was not a lecherous man. After being shocked by Yuehan's beauty, he immediately returned to normal. He smiled and said, "I just didn't expect a thousand-faced demon to look like this …"
Chong Mi Jing continued, "Your Highness, please do not approach this courtyard. I have arranged a Spirit Array in this courtyard to prevent her from using Illusion Techniques and Demonic Arts, but if Your Highness enters this Spirit Array, I will not be able to protect Your Highness."
Zhao Liexian asked curiously, "Other than being able to transform, what else is so powerful about this thousand-faced demon?"
Chong Mi Jing said, "This demon is extremely good at bewitching people, and her mastery of illusions is at the peak of perfection. Even a great cultivator would fall into her trap. They might not even know if they are in an illusion or reality. It's difficult to distinguish between what is real and what is fake. In the end, their mind would be broken, and they would go crazy if it's light, or turn into a demon if it's heavy!"
Zhao Liexian shuddered and sighed, "You cultivators are really scary …"
Chong Mi Jing gave Zhao Liexian a meaningful look and said, "No, the real scary thing is the human heart!
If a cultivator does evil, he will bring disaster to the land, but if the human heart turns evil, then no one can stop it except him! "
Zhao Liexian seemed to not understand the deeper meaning of her words, he sighed and said, "Yes, although cultivators are strong, they have desires in order to become stronger. With desires, we know what they want to do.
But some people are unpredictable and unpredictable. You don't know what their desires are, what they want to do, what they want to take, it's impossible to guess … "
Chong Mi Jing was stunned for a moment, she looked deeply at Zhao Liexian, then nodded and said, "Then I will take my leave first. Your Highness, please remember, do not go near this courtyard!"
After saying that, Chong Mi Jing turned around and left. As she walked through the courtyard, she couldn't help but look back at Zhao Liexian. She saw him standing with his hands clasped behind his back, still looking down at Yuehan who was under house arrest in the courtyard.
But when she looked closely, she found that although he was looking at Yuehan, his brows were furrowed, and his brows were furrowed with worry, as if there was an unresolvable distress and annoyance.
Chong Mi Jing thought to herself, 'Could it be … not him?'
Chong Mi Jing was not stupid. If Li Chengfeng could deduce something, as the person involved, how could she not guess a thing or two?
It was highly possible that the Fourth Prince was the culprit of the Taiyang tragedy!
Although Chong Mi Jing had cultivated to the point where she had almost lost her seven emotions and six desires, she still had a sense of good and evil, because this was what her Master had instilled in her since she was young.
Although she was as cold as ice, she was also a chivalrous person and understood right from wrong. Although she was not surprised or happy because she had cultivated a cultivation technique, she knew that this was not right. She wanted to find the true culprit of this matter!
Capturing the Thousand Faced Demon Su Yuehan was just a matter of convenience, to capture the biggest suspect first.
After all, she could only solve the problem, but not the case.
With her suspicions, Chong Mi Jing tried to sound Zhao Liexian out, but she was keenly aware that Zhao Liexian seemed to be expressing his feelings. But who was he expressing his feelings to?
The Crown Prince?
Was the Crown Prince such a scary person?
Or could it be someone else?
If the real culprit behind the Taiyang massacre was not Zhao Liexian, then who could it be?
Who would do such a terrible thing that would anger the gods?
What good would it do him?
Questions and mysteries flooded her like waves, almost drowning Chong Mi Jing. At this moment, she wished that her eyes could see through all lies, to see through all doubts!
Not long after she left, Zhao Liexian also left. After he left, a servant girl in the corner of the courtyard quietly threw a stone out of the wall under the pretext of going to the toilet.
Soon after, a group of patrolling guards passed by the wall. The last guard inadvertently fell two steps behind. After quickly looking around, he quietly picked up the stone while tying his shoelaces and stuffed it into his boots.
When he finished patrolling and found a secluded area, he took out the stone. From the gap between the stones, he took out a tiny piece of paper. On it was written: The Taiyang massacre witnesses and criminals are in the hands of the Fourth Prince.
