193  Evil Demon and Chaotic Fog (1)

Sitting in the room, Lin Yan only stood up in a daze when night fell.

After messing up many things in the room and creating the illusion that he was digging three feet into the ground, Lin Yan went out.

He bumped into Senior Sister Chen Yuan. "Lin Yan, where's Xiaozhi? Why don't I see her?"

Lin Yan opened his mouth and said, "Xiaozhi… is missing."

"Missing?!" Chen Yuan's eyes widened. "Lin Yan, are you joking?"

Lin Yan took a deep breath. "Senior Sister Chen, Xiaozhi's matter… is very complicated. I can't explain it in a short time. Anyway, I will definitely bring Xiaozhi back safely."

Lin Yan really didn't want to say anything else. After saying this, he left.

Walking aimlessly on the streets of Ding'an City's inner city, Lin Yan was in a daze. From time to time, he would reach out and brush the jade statue of Xiaozhi on his chest. With the help of his Formless Clone, he could sense the changes in the jade statue.

Lin Yan couldn't help but recall the lewd and absurd scene on the island in his imagination.

"The external spiritual matter contained in the Spirit Marrow is a substance condensed from the essence of life.

"This is probably the reason why I can see illusions when I absorb the Spirit Marrows.

"Therefore, the so-called illusion is very likely the true scene that the owner of the Spirit Marrow has experienced.

"The first time I saw an illusion, I absorbed the Spirit Marrow of the old monk's eyeball.

"Therefore, the perspective of the illusion had always been fixed on the old monk. What I saw was all what the old monk had experienced.

"However, the perspective I saw in the illusion this time is constantly changing. It's cruising the entire island…"

A terrifying guess appeared in Lin Yan's heart.

The owner of the Heart Spirit Marrow was very likely not the strange baby that was born and grew.

Instead… it was the towering tree that occupied the entire island!

This was the only way to explain why the vision in the illusion kept wandering around the entire island.

"What kind of monster is that huge tree?"

As he walked in a daze, Lin Yan suddenly stopped.

"Issuer Liu?"

At some point, Liu Lanqing actually walked back from the opposite side of the street.

Beside her were Bai Ling, Fan Xiaopeng, and Ning Xiaohui. The four of them were travel-worn and looked rather disheveled. Their faces were covered in dust, especially Fan Xiaopeng and Ning Xiaohui. They looked rather defeated and terrible.

"Lin Yan? Why do you look like you've lost your soul?"

Liu Lanqing was also quite surprised to meet Lin Yan.

The two sides met up. Liu Lanqing asked Lin Yan to follow them all the way back to the Demon Suppression Division's base.

"Issuer Liu, you're back?"

Wu Qinglei came out to welcome them, followed by Qin Xiang, Xiao Ye, and the other Demon Suppression Guards.

"Old Wu, bring Xiaohui and Xiaopeng to treat them. They're slightly injured and might have been poisoned. The others can go back and rest. Lin Yan, come with me."

"Yes."

Lin Yan waited in the living room for a while before Liu Lanqing finished cleaning up and came out. Bai Ling didn't come with him. He must have gone back to rest.

"Lin Yan, did that woman make things difficult for you?"

Lin Yan shook his head. "No."

Or rather, he did not give Ling Shuangxue anything to use against him.

"Hmph, there's no need to cover for her. Look at how dejected you are. That woman must be torturing you…"

"Qing, why are you badmouthing others behind their backs?"

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded. Ling Shuangxue actually stepped in from the door.

Bai Ling came in with her. He looked helpless. "Teacher Ling, you must have clairvoyance. We just arrived, and you came right after."

Liu Lanqing snorted. "Are you spying on us?"

Ling Shuangxue's expression did not change as she smiled faintly. "I came this time because I have something to tell you."

As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Yan meaningfully.

Lin Yan's heart sank slightly.

Liu Lanqing frowned. "Ling Shuangxue, don't sow discord!"

Ling Shuangxue smiled faintly. "What I'm about to say is the truth. This Lin Yan really has a lot of secrets. Aren't you afraid of suffering a loss by recruiting him for no reason?"

Liu Lanqing was about to speak when he heard Bai Ling stop him. "Ah Qing, what Teacher Ling said is not unreasonable. After all, he's someone who's about to become a Demon Suppression Guard. It's good to know his background. Right, Lin Yan? What do you think?"

He also had some doubts about Lin Yan.

Lin Yan's expression was cold as he looked at Ling Shuangxue and said calmly, "Venerable Issuer Bai, what you said makes sense. I'm upright and have some private matters of my own. Even if I don't want to expose them, there's nothing I can't tell others."

Bai Ling's expression froze. Lin Yan's words were meant to point out that this was his private matter. It was indeed a little inappropriate to expose it.

However, Ling Shuangxue did not have any reaction. "That's true. After all, it's your private matter. I even promised to keep it a secret for you… Venerable Issuer Bai, why don't you rest outside for a while? Ah Qing and I are sisters. I'll only tell Ah Qing and it won't be considered a leak."

Liu Lanqing's eyes were filled with anger. "Who's your sister!"

Lin Yan: "…"

Bai Ling was even more speechless, but he waved his hand. "Forget it, forget it. I won't get involved in your matters!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, even closing the door considerately.

Liu Lanqing barely suppressed her anger. "Ling Shuangxue, what are you trying to say?!"

Ling Shuangxue no longer provoked Liu Lanqing. Instead, she told Liu Lanqing everything about Lin Yan's sister and the Thunder Token.
