While the woman was in a daze, Ye Jingyu and Yin Qingxuan had already chased her to a slightly dilapidated courtyard.

Bai Xue jumped down from the courtyard wall and broke into the room through the window. The couple followed closely behind her, but they only saw a cup of tea.

The two searched separately but did not find anyone suspicious.

"It looks like he just left not long ago."

Ye Jingyu picked up the teacup, the water was still warm.

Yin Qingxuan nodded and said, "Since Bai Xue has heard of the things used by Taoist Tianji, she will definitely not go after the wrong person. However, he is good at formations and mechanisms, so A Yu must be careful."

"Well, let's continue searching. Even if he is not the murderer, he must be related to the murderer."

The two of them took Bai Xue and Xiao Bai out of the courtyard. The moment the door closed, Yin Qingxuan suddenly saw an arrow drawn on the door, pointing to the north.

"Ayu, look."

Ye Jingyu couldn't help but admire Yin Qingxuan's attentiveness.

"Maybe it was left for his accomplices. Xuan'er, go back to find Jinglan first, and I'll go over to take a look."

Yin Qingxuan immediately shook her head.

"No, if you want to go, let's go together."

Although Yin Qingxuan had not had any major pregnancy reactions, Ye Jingyu still didn't want her to run around too much. When he was about to dissuade her, Yin Qingxuan had already started to move and headed north.

What a stubborn little girl!

Ye Jingyu shook his head helplessly and quickly chased after him.

Along the way, Yin Qingxuan saw several extremely hidden arrows. The two followed the direction and chased them to the outside of the town.

There is a maple forest in front of us. Now it is almost late autumn, and the maple leaves are half red and half green, which is very beautiful.

A breeze blew by, and the aroma of tea wafted into Ye Jingyu's nose. He took a sniff and found that the taste was almost exactly the same as the tea in the shabby room just now.

Yin Qingxuan spoke first.

"I don't know who the master in the forest is. Since you are interested in meeting my husband and me, why don't you show up and talk?"

As they were talking, Bai Xue and Xiao Bai had caught up, and with a bark, they rushed into the forest.

"Snow!"

Ye Jingyu was afraid that the dog would get hurt, so he jumped into the forest in a flash. The scenery suddenly changed and he appeared on the top of a mountain shrouded in mist.

Under a pine tree that blocks out the sun, an old man is fanning himself and brewing tea, looking leisurely.

This place is far away from the mountain, and Ye Jingyu concluded almost immediately that this was an illusion, not reality.

He took a step forward, clasped his fists and asked, "Senior, are you Taoist Tianji?"

The old man did not turn around, but pointed at the stone pier opposite with his fan.

"Since we are here, we are destined to be together. Young Master, can you sit for a while and have a cup of tea?"

Ye Jingyu had been irrigated by the spiritual spring for a long time, so he was not afraid of the poison. He also had the pride of a young man, so he lifted his robe and sat down.

"Then respect is worse than obeying orders."

The old man nodded approvingly and poured him a cup of tea. Ye Jingyu picked up the cup and took a sip.

"Good tea."

"It is indeed good tea. This is picked by my best friend. This friendship alone is worth tens of thousands of gold coins more than the tea itself."

The old man had a sad look in his eyes, and his cloudy eyes were full of guilt.

Ye Jingyu narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in them, and he slapped the table with one hand. The teacup flew up like lightning and went straight to the old man's throat.

"It seems that I have found the right person. Since you call my grandfather a friend, why do you want to make him a tomb in a foreign land and bury his bones in the green mountains?"

The old man did not dodge, but asked: "Your Majesty, are you willing to listen to a story told by this humble person? It won't take too long, just a cup of tea. After a cup of tea, I will rush to the underworld to be with my good friend."
