Chapter 377: Doubt and temptation

"You mean the problem is with the dumb girl?" Ping Yan frowned and said to himself, "Impossible, the dumb girl was sent to learn ghost cultivation by myself, and I also asked her in detail. After that, nothing suspicious was found."

"Father, what you know is the dumb girl when you were young. She has been alienated from you since she went to practice with a ghost master. After the completion of ghost skills, you and I have never even seen her real face. Coupled with the lingering ghostly aura, Even Piyang, who is on good terms with her, might not be able to detect any doubts, let alone you and my father and son. If the dumb girl is fake, many things can be explained."

"You said the dumb girl is fake? Could it be that besides the ghost master and the dumb girl, there is a third person who knows the art of ghost cultivation on the Netherland Continent?" Ping Yan said in disbelief.

"Father, only the ghost master can judge whether it is true or not? It is best to find the ghost master." Pi Batian said: "And we also need his help now. He is best at tracking the traces of people in hiding. With his help Finding Li Mo is only a matter of time."

"Okay." Thunderbolt nodded and said, "I will do as you said."

...

The Thunder family did not leave the extremely dark place on the second day like the other families. It has been three or four days since the day of the Seven Cities Competition, and there is still no sign of the Thunder family leaving.

Yun Ruoyan knew that Pie Batian had been looking for signs of Li Mo around the extremely dark place for the past few days, but after a few days, there was nothing to gain without exception.

On this day, Yun Ruoyan was talking with Pi Yang in the corridor.

"That ice-faced Li Mo is really not a good thing." A few days later, whenever Pi Yang mentions Li Mo, he still wants to bite his expression and demeanor.

"How dare I collude with the Feng family to cause my Thunder family to lose the game and lose the management rights of the extremely dark place again. I don't know where I have escaped now! It's so hateful!"

Yun Ruoyan stood behind Piyang, with a smug smile on her face behind the veil, and said in her heart: "I want to kill your Pijia."

"Mute girl, you are in charge of monitoring him. Now that he has something wrong and escaped, father and elder brother will definitely blame you." Peryang said worriedly, "You have always been cautious, but this time you didn't notice Li Mo's abnormality shows that this person is really cunning."

"Yeah, it's a little cunning." Yun Ruoyan whispered, but in her heart she suppressed herself from laughing.

Yun Ruoyan saw that Thunder Yang's concern for her was real, and her view of the half-grown child changed again. She used to think that although Thunder Yang was not as vicious as the father and son of the Thunder family, he was not affected by the environment. will be a good guy. However, through these few days of contact, Yun Ruoyan discovered that Piyang is actually a kind-hearted child with a simple mind. Even so, the two were destined not to be friends.

"Second Young Master, if there is nothing else, I will..."

"My lord dumb girl." At this moment, a voice came from the corner of the corridor, interrupting Yun Ruoyan's words. She turned her head to look over, and saw that it was a warrior next to Pi Batian. Under the veil, her complexion couldn't help but The ground is a little more dignified.

"What's the matter?" Before Yun Ruoyan could speak, Pili Yang asked for her.

"Patriarch welcomes you." The samurai replied.

"Understood, I'll go right away." Yun Ruoyan replied in a low voice.

The samurai did not leave, but stood aside and waited. Yun Ruoyan glanced at Pi Yang, turned around and started to leave.

"I'll go with you." The voice of Pi Yang sounded behind her, "I can also intercede with you."

Accompanied by Piyang, Yun Ruoyan came to Piyan's room together.

"Why are you here?" Piliyan frowned after seeing Piliyang, "The contest is over, why don't you hurry back to Pilicheng."

"Father, don't rush me, my son will leave tomorrow." But Yang said with a smile.

Perhaps he didn't place too much hope on Thunderbolt, and Thunderbolt was more tolerant to this youngest son, not as strict as he was to Thunderbolt, and he also didn't give support in the management of the family.

"Mute girl, you've been following Li Mo inseparably all this time, don't you really notice anything unusual about him?" Piliyan asked as he shifted his gaze from Piliyang to Yun Ruoyan.

This is not the first time that Piliyan has asked this question. Piliyan asked Yun Ruoyan like this just after Li Mo had defected. At that time, Yun Ruoyan answered simply and clearly, only saying no. But this time Yun Ruoyan obviously felt that it would not be so easy for him to pass the test.

"Go home." Yun Ruoyan bowed and replied, "I really didn't find out that this person doesn't talk much, and he doesn't show too much emotion, which makes people elusive. The subordinate just made sure that I followed him. During this period of time, there was nothing unusual about him, and it was really hard for the subordinates to detect and predict what he thought or what preparations he had made before."

Yun Ruoyan's words were well prepared, so she said them very naturally, without any hesitation or guilt.

Hearing what she said, Ping Yan couldn't pick out the fault for a while, but because he was already suspicious, seeing Yun Ruoyan's dumb girl at this moment, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Mute girl, you suddenly become so fluent in speaking now." Ping Yan said while examining Yun Ruoyan.

Yun Ruoyan couldn't help being startled when she heard this. She didn't expect that people would be suspicious if she spoke fluently, but she didn't know how to answer the words for a while, so she lowered her head and remained silent.

"Father." Periyang felt the suspicion towards Yun Ruoyan in Periyan's tone, and said: "The dumb girl grew up with me, and I know her best, it is impossible for her to do something that is sorry for the Peri family ,she... ... "

Piliyan glanced at Pianyang, choked back Pianyang's words, and then he continued to look at Yun Ruoyan closely, "I usually listen to you, and you have to divide a sentence into three paragraphs, and you never talk about it. More than three sentences, why does it sound like another person now?"

While Pili Yan was staring at Yun Ruoyan, the aura around him became stronger and stronger. He wanted to use coercion to deter Yun Ruoyan. Facing this powerful spiritual coercion, Yun Ruoyan did not deliberately keep calm. Her voice began to tremble, and a layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Subordinate, subordinate..."

"Father." Pie Yang stood up again to rescue Yun Ruoyan, he said: "It's not that the dumb girl didn't like to talk all the time, she was very talkative before she practiced ghost art, but she was ruined by ghost energy later. Her voice became less and less, and she was eager to defend herself just now, so it's not surprising that she talked more in a hurry."

Hearing what Piyang said, Piyan finally stopped staring at Yun Ruoyan, and the coercion weakened a little, Yun Ruoyan hissed softly.

"Patriarch." Yun Ruoyan seized the opportunity to defend herself, "The dumb girl is loyal to the Pajia and the Patriarch, I hope the Patriarch will find out, the rebellion in Limo is indeed the negligence of the dumb girl, and I hope the Patriarch will punish her."

Piliyan turned around and went back to the chair to sit down. He neither punished Yun Ruoyan nor asked her to leave. Yun Ruoyan just stood there waiting for Piliyan to speak.

After a long while, Peng Yang couldn't stand still, and said: "Father, if there is nothing else, the dumb girl and I will go out first."

"You go out, the dumb girl stays." Ping Yan said lightly, looking at the dumb girl lightly, he said: "Your master is coming, you stay and see him."

"Master?" Yun Ruoyan thumped in her heart, she never thought that this dumb girl would have a master, even though she realized that something was wrong, Yun Ruoyan still had to respectfully say: "I obey. "

"Has the ghost master come too?" Pie Yang had a very excited expression, "I may not have seen him for a long time, but this time I just met him." Sit down, and then he said to Yun Ruoyan: "Sit down too, it's so tiring standing up."

"Subordinates dare not." Yun Ruoyan said respectfully.

"Father." After a while, Pi Batian opened the door and came in, he glanced at Yun Ruoyan who was standing aside and Pi Yang who was sitting carelessly on the chair, and then said to Pi Yan: "The ghost master is here. "

As soon as his words fell, an invisible black shadow appeared beside Pi Batian like an invisible black wind, and the invisible black wind gradually condensed into a human shape. Yun Ruoyan saw that it was a person whose whole body was covered in a black robe, surrounded by a hazy ghost like her, making it impossible to see his true face.

"Greetings to the Patriarch." The ghost master bowed to Ping Yan, his voice was hoarse and lower than Yun Ruoyan's fake voice, as if something was blocked in his throat and then forced to suffocate. People can't help but feel their scalp numb.

"Ghost master, catch up with your apprentice." Ping Yan said to the ghost master.

The ghost master heard the words and turned to look at Yun Ruoyan. Yun Ruoyan felt a very cold gaze shot at her. She bit the bullet and took a step forward to salute the ghost master: "The dumb girl pays homage to Master."

The ghost master looked at Yun Ruoyan with scrutiny. At this moment, there was a strange silence in the room. In this brief silence, Yun Ruoyan could clearly hear everyone's breathing.

"Mute girl, I heard from the young master that you made a major mistake in this mission." The ghost master finally asked Yun Ruoyan.

"Yes, the dumb girl didn't discover the abnormality of the defector in time, which caused the Yunpi family to fail in the martial arts competition." Ruoyan said: "Master, please punish."

"Okay." The ghost master only said one word, and then he came to Yun Ruoyan's side in a flash, and then he stretched out a black ghost hand and hit Yun Ruoyan's face. The shot really caught people off guard.

"Ghost master!" Peng Yang only had time to call out, but he didn't have time to stop it.

Yun Ruoyan felt a powerful force towards her face and slapped it towards her face. The speed and force of this swipe were so strong that she couldn't parry it at all.

Yun Ruoyan knew that even if she resisted, it would be useless, so she stiffened and closed her eyes, ready to take a gamble.
