Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

Xueyi explained, "Back then, I mistakenly imprisoned him in the Dark Prison. If he hadn't revealed his identity to me afterward and hadn't subdued me..."

"If he ever needs my help again, even if the estrangement is resolved, we will be too busy with official duties to meet with him."

"Little sister, if other diviners asked you for the Hidden Moon Gourd, would you give it to them?"

The crow shook its head and said, "No, unless the general or the diviner speaks up."

"How could such a precious magical artifact as the Hidden Moon Gourd be lent out casually?"

"For ordinary people, even if they have merit points as collateral, they would never lend them out easily."

Xueyi nodded slightly: "Then what if a junior diviner came to you and spoke to you politely?"

"I hope you can apply to the Ten Kings' Office to build an 'invisible prison' of the same standard as that of Emperor Sui."

"If you ask him why, and he tells you it's used to imprison Huanlong, what would you think?"

The crow hesitated and said, "I will politely ask him to leave and remind him to take his medicine on time."

Xueyi smiled slightly, quietly took Su Jinyan's hand, and intertwined their fingers.

"That's it. If Ayan were just an unknown fortune teller, who among us would pay attention to him?"

"Moreover, the application process for special prisons is extremely complicated. If it were reported up the chain of command, the news would have already leaked out and Huanlong would have escaped long ago."

"Since I figured this out, I have admired Ayan even more."

Building a special prison requires rare and precious materials and advanced craftsmanship, all of which require approval at each level.

However, the commotion Su Jinyan had caused earlier had earned him special attention from the Ten Kings Division.

After the crow submitted its application, it was approved without any prior approval. The efficiency of the craftsmen dispatched by the Ten Kings Headquarters was also unexpectedly high.

"Not to mention, when faced with the temptation of immortality bestowed upon him by the Ancestor of Longevity Plague, he resolutely chose to follow the path of the Emperor's Bow Master."

“Little sister, my life has been full of hardships, but fortunately I have you by my side. I have been blessed by the Ten Kings and have become a judge in the Ten Kings’ Court.”

"Now I feel more and more that Ayan is the husband I was destined to have."

The crow lowered its head in shame: "I'm sorry, sister, I was so foolish, I didn't even think of that..."

Xueyi's beautiful eyes were deep. Under everyone's gaze, she took Hanya's slender white hand and placed it in Su Jinyan's hand.

"But I also understand that what I cherish often attracts the covetousness of others."

"There are foxes in front and tigers behind. Little sister, we must unite."

Han Ya concealed the shyness in her eyes and took Su Jinyan's hand: "Ayan."

"Although I am a judge in the Department of Questioning, my job is to read the cause and effect of a criminal's sins."

"But I still don't understand much about matters between men and women. If you have time in the future, we might as well gradually deepen our relationship."

"You heard what your sister said, what was your response?"

Su Jinyan sighed: "Han Ya, you had many misunderstandings about me before."

"However, for Xueyi's sake, I can pretend nothing happened."

"I didn't have the heart to separate you sisters, but from now on we're family."

Fu Xuan gave a soft, cold snort: "Really?"

"Master, come with me for a moment."

"Can't you say it here? Why are you beating around the bush?"

Su Jinyan ignored Fu Xuan's complaints and took her slender white hand as they walked deeper into the Netherworld.

After looking around, Su Jinyan pushed open the door to a room he thought was secluded.

As soon as the door was opened, Rakshasa's self-talk could be heard in the room.

"Scalding with boiling water? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Upon noticing Su Jinyan and Fu Xuan's arrival, Jing Liu parted his lips slightly and said, "Little brother."

"Are you done on your end? Have you finally remembered to keep your promise here?"

Fu Xuan's lips parted slightly, and he asked incredulously, "Fulfill a promise? What promise?"

"No, you have something to do with Jingliu too?"

Jing Liu was one of the Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds, and made great contributions to the Immortal Ship Luofu. At that time, Fu Xuan had not yet been born.

However, Fu Xuan also knew a lot about the old cases and secrets on Luofu Mountain.

To be precise, each of the Five Heroes of the Clouds was an idol that Fu Xuan had admired.

After violating the laws of the Ten Kings Division, everything about Jingliu on the Immortal Ship was erased by the Ten Kings Division, and few people knew about her past deeds.

Only storytellers like Xi Yan, Gui Naifen, and Su Chang, who were interested in the Five Heroes of the Clouds, would go to great lengths to collect information and learn about her deeds.

Jing Liu, having fallen under the influence of demonic influence and severed all desires, should theoretically be devoid of emotions—this was Fu Xuan's opinion.

Therefore, Fu Xuan did not believe that Jing Liu would have any dealings with Su Jinyan.

These two have only met a handful of times, yet they've already made a promise?

Fu Xuan recalled that a user named "Zhao Camera" in the live stream that day made a funny joke, saying that Jing Liu was A Yan's mother in her previous life.

Now Fu Xuan desperately hopes that this joke can come true.

Jing Liu said calmly, "No need to be nervous. A gentleman's friendship is as light as water."

"After he fulfilled the promise he made to Jingliu, we had no further contact with each other."

"Of course, perhaps one day we will become the common enemy of the plague."

Fu Xuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

The Rakshasa seemed oblivious to their arrival, continuing to repeat the phrase "boiling water scalds the skin."

Su Jinyan asked cautiously, "Jing Liu, did I provoke him a little too much?"

"He wouldn't be trying to prove himself by scalding his penis with boiling water, would he? That would be incredibly stupid."

Jingliu decisively distanced himself: "Little brother, this matter has nothing to do with you or me."

“As long as you don’t appear in front of Rakshasa again, he will naturally be able to get over it.”

Su Jinyan argued, "Actually, it's really not my fault."

"You may not know this, but Rakshasa's reputation has now spread throughout the world."

"His reputation is known to everyone."

"What if he encounters an even more cunning Fool in the future who will try to trick him?"

"It will also benefit him to temper his character more."

Jingliu remained noncommittal: "You're right, so, did you bring the person I wanted to see?"

Su Jinyan felt a little embarrassed. Since arriving at the Immortal Ship, Jingliu had been searching for the Blade.

Jing Liu searched high and low but could not find any trace of the blade. He could only stay in Youfu for the time being under Su Jinyan's arrangement.

She would never have imagined that Ren was being imprisoned right under her nose—in the Dark Prison.

Of course, the signal was cut off in the prison, and Ren also missed an opportunity to experience the greatness of maternal love.

Su Jinyan had promised Jingliu that he would personally bring the blade to her.

But the night before, Kafka had already taken the Blade from the prison, and the two sides fought fiercely, putting on a very convincing show.

Su Jinyan said, "Not yet."

The room gradually grew cold.

Jing Liu said coldly, "Little brother, those who break their promises will be punished."

"Don't think I'll go easy on you because of Jingyuan."

Su Jinyan explained, "Jing Liu, you've misunderstood. I've already found the person you asked me to find."

Jingliu frowned slightly: "Oh, then where is he?"

Su Jinyan changed the subject: "However, I do have some connections with that person's friends."

"It's not good to arrest him directly, as that would inevitably damage our relationship."

Jingliu's tone turned extremely dangerous: "Little brother, aren't you afraid of damaging our relationship?"

Su Jinyan chuckled awkwardly, "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, so I have to think of a compromise."

Fu Xuan said, "In that case, why don't you just tell Jing Liu where that person is hiding?"

Jingliu slowly shook his head: "No, one thing at a time."

“Since it was something my little brother promised me, he has to do it.”

"No matter what method you use, you must bring the blade to me in person within three days."

Su Jinyan perked up: "It's a deal."

Jing Liu walked to Su Jinyan's side and whispered, "Little brother, you don't think I'm easy to bully, right?"
