A sharp gleam flashed in Qin Jishi's eyes, and Leng Yan and Ice Phoenix Realm Venerate both arched their brows.
Surprise filled their eyes!!
"Little Friend Qin, what did you notice?" ...
Facing their questions, Qin Jishi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Ladies, do you think there is such a possibility—King Yama knew you had no way to neutralize the Yin Devouring Gu, so he used this method to control Senior Leng Yan?"
Use this method to control her!?
The two exchanged glances, utterly unable to understand what he meant.

Qin Jishi lowered his voice. "Like this—before Senior Leng Yan was implanted with the Yin Devouring Gu, had King Yama ever come looking for her?"
Leng Yan: "..."

Before Ice Phoenix Realm Venerate could finish, Leng Yan interrupted her.
"Little Friend Qin, your guess is correct. He did come looking for me."
Ice Phoenix Realm Venerate: "..."
As though she had never expected this, Ice Phoenix Realm Venerate could not help blinking.
"Big Sister, why have you never told me about this?" ...
Leng Yan gave a soft laugh. "Xiaoxi, what kind of existence is King Yama? Even I could not probe the depths of his strength. What use would there have been in telling you or not telling you?"
Hearing this, Qin Jishi nodded. "Ladies, then everything fits together."
"King Yama failed to find Senior Leng Yan, yet he could not reveal his identity, which was why he devised this trap."
"Ice Phoenix Realm Venerate!"
As Qin Jishi spoke, he cast her a sidelong glance. "The person who gave you the Yin Devouring Gu is most likely connected to King Yama."
What?
Ice Phoenix Realm Venerate's
