Life in the Inner State

The enormous workshop stood tall in front of Li Banfeng, with dozens of iron pipes moving crisscrossing before his eyes.

Judging from its size alone, this huge workshop is somewhat similar to Ge Jun, who invaded the Ink Fragrance Shop.

However, the two are completely different in details. Ge Jun and the clam are very similar, and it can even be said that they are a mutated clam.

But the "centipede" in front of us is a bit abstract; to be precise, it looks more like a steam-powered machine.

The reason it is described as steam-driven is because white mist is constantly being emitted from the ceiling of the "Centipede" workshop.

Qiu Luoye once said that Inner State can be chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and all sorts of creatures, but he never said that Inner State would turn into machines.

"Are you actually from Inner State?" Li Banfeng asked again.

The workshop door opened, and a spherical object with a diameter of about two meters flew out of the door, circling around Li Banfeng twice.

When Li Banfeng first saw the spherical object, he thought the centipede had spat out another meatball.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that this spherical object was quite different from the previous meatballs.

A meatball is a single, large lump of meat.

This spherical object is an aggregate, an aggregate of tens of thousands of eyes gathered together.

Each eye has an eyeball and a pupil of a different color.

Tens of thousands of eyes turned in different directions, carefully observing Li Banfeng.

Out of politeness, Li Banfeng nodded to the large group of eyes.

Then Li Banfeng disappeared.

Surprised, all eyes focused on one spot, then quickly dispersed, searching for Li Banfeng's presence.

Bang!

The enormous spherical object blew off a third of its shape, the entire workshop rolled on the ground, splashing up a lot of dirt, and then quickly stood up again.

This is clearly caused by pain.

This spherical object should be the eye of this "Centipede Workshop," an eye composed of tens of thousands of eyes. This special structure reminded Li Banfeng of the compound eyes of insects.

Although this eye is not connected to the workshop, it is clearly part of the workshop, and if it is damaged, the Snail Workshop will feel pain.

Li Banfeng deliberately only blew off one-third of the giant eye, leaving two-thirds intact.

"Centipede Workshop" seemed to sense Li Banfeng's ulterior motives. Its enormous eye quickly disintegrated, breaking down into tens of thousands of thumb-sized eyeballs that floated in various places in the air.

With its eyes separated, each eyeball began to move freely without interference. The images from tens of thousands of angles were stacked up haphazardly, which significantly affected the centipede's vision, making its movements much slower.

However, the advantage of doing so is that it allows for comprehensive monitoring of Li Banfeng's movements, making it difficult for Li Banfeng to use his Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers skills.

Even if the Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers successfully launches, at most one or two eyeballs will be blown out in the area where Li Banfeng's gaze is focused.

Such losses and damages are within the workshop's tolerance.

As expected, Li Banfeng once again launched Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers.

Bang! Bang!

Two muffled thuds, and two eyeballs ruptured. The "workshop" did not react at all; the damage was insignificant to him.

Using Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers again, Li Banfeng focused his attention on the walls of the factory building.

The factory walls were undamaged, and although this was the body of this "Inner State," it was clearly different from flesh and blood in the normal sense.

Li Banfeng inwardly admired the wisdom of this "centipede workshop," noting that its current response was extremely sensible.

The "centipede workshop" coiled up, surrounding Li Banfeng in the middle, seemingly preparing to launch a counterattack.

Although their reactions became sluggish, their scattered gazes created more opportunities for the workshop to attack.

After a brief standoff, a steel bar protruded from the top of the "workshop centipede's" head and pierced towards Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng didn't rush to hide; he heard the sound of steam billowing out.

The high-temperature steam emitted a piercing shriek when it was ejected, and there were colorless and transparent rays of high-temperature steam around Li Banfeng.

These steam rays are emitted from the gaps in the body of the "Centipede Workshop," similar in principle to Steam Machine Gun. The specific location of the emission can be deduced by sound.

Knowing the location of the steam doesn't mean Li Banfeng can avoid it. This thing isn't an arrow or a bullet; it's a stream of steam that will always be there as long as it's being emitted.

The scattered gazes allowed the workshop to create an almost impenetrable steam net. If Li Banfeng rashly dodged the steel bars piercing his head, he would crash into the steam net.

If he doesn't dodge, the steam rays and steel bars will attack him simultaneously, and Li Banfeng won't be able to hold out for long.

According to Li Banfeng's calculations, as long as he leaves his original position, he will at least collide with a beam of steam.

Let's try crashing it!

Li Banfeng dodged to the left, avoiding the steel bars overhead, but at the cost of being pierced through the chest by a burst of high-temperature steam.

In the instant of dodging, the instinct to Auspiciousness and Avoiding Calamity kept reminding Li Banfeng not to go left.

After dodging, the steam did not harm Li Banfeng. Using his Carefree and Unrestrained technique, Li Banfeng transferred part of his chest to the back of his head.

Hanging your chest on the back of your head is a wonderful feeling; you can clearly hear your own heartbeat and feel the rise and fall of your chest with each breath.

Li Banfeng used the Carefree and Unrestrained Technique, which seemed to be within the "Snail Workshop's" expectations.

He was manipulating more than a dozen streams of steam, which were approaching Li Banfeng from the left and right. One stream of steam was about to sweep across his neck, another stream was about to sweep across his ribs, and yet another stream was about to sweep across his knees.

It would be much more difficult to use the Carefree and Unrestrained again, because there are too many things to transfer.

But if you can't Carefree and Unrestrained, there are other ways.

Li Banfeng chose to tough it out with his Benevolent Dwelling Heart nature.

Steam swept over Li Banfeng his skin to turn slightly red, but there were no other changes.

"Centipede Workshop" was somewhat surprised; this wasn't the kind of response Travel Cultivator should have made.

He readjusted the position of the steam beam, Li Banfeng had already rushed to the side of the workshop.

Sensing something was wrong, "Centipede Workshop" immediately closed all doors and windows.

Li Banfeng took off and used his Unimpeded Travel skills to squeeze into the workshop.

He thought the workshop would contain the internal organs of this "...", but he was wrong. It really was a workshop, a steam-powered workshop, which is not common in Outer State but is ubiquitous in Pro State.

Li Banfeng was no stranger to the factory. He first looked up at the ceiling, where there was a silver-white steam pipe with a pressure gauge, shut-off valve, check valve and drain pipe.

Pipes of varying thicknesses branched off from the Main Steam Pipeline and connected to the steam chamber in the center of the workshop.

Cylinder and piston.

This silvery-white pipe is the Main Steam Pipeline, which is equivalent to the main artery of the "centipede workshop".

Li Banfeng swung his Tang Blade, piercing a hole in the Main Steam Pipeline. Tang Blade shouted, "Every Strike Takes a Head —this looks like an intestine!"

Rumble rumble rumble~

The workshop shook violently, and high-temperature steam leaked out, spraying towards Li Banfeng. The temperature inside the workshop suddenly rose.

The piston, which was in operation, gradually slowed down, emitting a series of sharp noises.

"Does it hurt terribly?" Li Banfeng dodged the gushing High-Pressure Steam, and when he looked back, the knife cut on the Main Steam Pipeline was gone, leaving only a not-too-large scar.

Has the wound healed?

This pipe isn't flesh and blood, but it has life!

The life forms of people in the Inner State are becoming increasingly abstract.

Li Banfeng aimed at the pipe and kicked it out with the Trample Ten Thousand Rivers.

Hundreds of holes appeared in the Main Steam Pipeline. The Centipede Workshop, writhing in agony, rolled on the spot, steam leaking everywhere, continuing its pursuit of Li Banfeng.

Once Li Banfeng had escaped the steam, the wound on the pipe had healed.

This thing's self-healing ability is incredible!

Inside the workshop, steam rays darted back and forth. Due to the limited space, Li Banfeng had limited opportunities to dodge. He couldn't use his Benevolent Dwelling Heart" technique frequently, and he wasn't proficient in his "Carefree and Unrestrained " technique, so he could only dodge by step.

This centipede is too troublesome.

Moreover, he is a Gu Cultivator, and he has not used Gu techniques yet, so his combat power may only be less than half of what it is.

We cannot delay; we must act swiftly and decisively.

Li Banfeng pondered for a moment, then pulled out the Judge's Brush from his waist and stabbed it into the Main Steam Pipeline.

The Judge's Brush paused for a moment, then shouted, "Hot!"

The high-temperature steam scalded the Judge's Brush until it was bright red. Just as the Judge's Brush was about to curse Li Banfeng, it saw Li Banfeng point the pen tip at the pipe, about to stab it in again.

"No!" The Judge's Brush was burned again. Even without Li Banfeng's instructions, he knew what to do.

The two wounds he inflicted have not healed.

This pipe has been affected by the "Lazy Cultivator technique" and has become lazy, unwilling to heal itself in a hurry.

Li Banfeng, wielding a sickle, made over a dozen cuts in the Main Steam Pipeline, causing a massive steam leak and a drop in steam pressure. This caused all the pistons to stop working, effectively stripping the "centipede workshop" of its backbone and paralyzing the centipede.

Taking advantage of the inability to move around the workshop, Li Banfeng went to the core part of the steam workshop: the boiler.

The boiler was burning brightly, and a conveyor belt was adding coal to it.

This conveyor belt is amazing. Li Banfeng doesn't know where its power comes from, nor can he tell where the coal it transports comes from.

He cut the conveyor belt in half with a single stroke, cutting off the boiler's fuel supply.

Then he poured some tea into the boiler, and the flames inside gradually dimmed.

Whew! Whew!

The steam pipes emitted sharp hissing sounds, as if the workshop itself was wailing.

If the giant clam is Ge Jun's true form, then is this workshop actually the true form of the man from Inner State standing before us?

If the workshop is its core, then turning off the boiler is equivalent to extinguishing its life.

The fire in the stove was very tenacious; it had been steeping in the tea for a long time and still hadn't gone out.

Li Banfeng wasn't in a hurry. He could sense the workshop shaking slightly, like a dying person making a futile struggle.

"I'm starting to feel sorry for you," Li Banfeng sighed, stroking the teapot. "Tell me, are you really from Inner State? If you tell the truth, I'll spare your life."

The workshop did not respond.

Li Banfeng nodded. "Alright, I'll take you there indefinitely."

The flames in the boiler were almost gone, and the workshop remained silent, but the tremors and twitches were more pronounced than before. Ban Feng Li Banfeng's consistent choice.

He could sense that the life force in the workshop was weakening. He used his Golden Eyes Autumn Down Technique to scan the workshop back and forth, waiting for something like a spirit to appear.

This point cannot be ambiguous. Sun Tiecheng taught Li Banfeng that people from Inner State, if their souls are not thoroughly cleansed, may still be resurrected.

Points of light appeared on the walls of the workshop; were the souls about to gather?

Li Banfeng prepared his weapons to deal with the ghosts, and faintly, he could hear singing coming from outside the workshop.

"My wounds, your tears, blood and tears mixed together, all taste the same salty—"

These lyrics seem familiar.

The Thread-Pulling Earring whispered in her ear, "It's still that person, the one who sang 'Guokui' (a type of flatbread)."

Is Chu Zikai here?

Why would he come?

What is his connection with the textile factory?

Li Banfeng left the workshop but did not see Chu Zikai.

Using his Discern Spiritual Sounds Technique, he determined the direction of the singing. Chu Zikai was still in the actual factory compound, probably between workshops five and Workshop Six.

To find out his exact location, you have to keep listening to his songs, but keeping listening to his songs is a very risky move, as you could be harmed by him at any time.

Especially since Li Banfeng used the technique of Discern Spiritual Sounds, if he were to be hit by a Blood Splatter Roaring Sound at this moment, it would probably shatter Li Banfeng's internal organs.

Li Banfeng glanced back at Tangyuan outside the wall. She was still there; she had killed quite a few centipedes and was helping Li Banfeng in the fight.

Li Banfeng looked into the distance, then at Tangyuan, signaling her to run for her life.

Tangyuan hesitated for a moment, Li Banfeng glared at her.

This sight startled Tangyuan, who turned and left.

Li Banfeng had no time to spare; Chu Zikai was already close behind.

His singing never stopped, but Li Banfeng felt no discomfort listening to it.

What is his purpose in singing?

Just to prevent Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers?

Then he should sing "I am Your Guokui".

Li Banfeng turned to look at the Centipede Workshop. The green light on the wall was slowly fading, and the soul that was about to emerge had retreated back into the body.

This proves that the Snail Workshop's life is being restored; it has pulled itself back from the brink of death.

Chu Zikai was using his singing to save this man from Inner State.

The techniques of voice enhancement have such effects. No wonder when Li Banfeng was injured, his Wife always sang to him.

Li Banfeng used his "Trample Ten Thousand Rivers" technique to kick the workshop several times. Although the "Centipede Workshop" was tough, large pieces of its bricks and stones fell off.

Chu Zikai's figure flashed into the air. He was still wearing a bamboo hat, and under the hat was a mask with big eyes, a high nose, no lips, and protruding fangs.

Seeing the man in front of him, Chu Zikai was somewhat surprised. He did not know the man's identity, but he had fought with him before.

Why is it him again?

The two stared at each other for a moment, then Chu Zikai looked at Tangyuan, who was fleeing for his life outside the wall. "I can kill him first."

This is a threat to Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng nodded. "Go ahead and kill them, let's see who's faster."

After saying that, Li Banfeng disappeared.

Chu Zikai immediately began singing, having made thorough preparations for the Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers performance.

He wasn't singing just one song this time; he was singing "I am Your Guokui" and "You are My Medicine" at the same time.

The two songs intertwine: "I am Your Guokui" is catchy and has a grand melody, while "You are My Medicine" is...

The melody was relatively mournful and suppressed, so Li Banfeng could barely hear it.

But the centipede could tell that, amidst the music, the steam pipes were slowly being repaired, the conveyor belt was being fixed, coal was being fed back into the boiler, the pressure gauge was slowly raising its reading, and the piston in the cylinder was slowly moving.

"Centipede Workshop" is showing signs of life.

If Chu Zikai really manages to revive him, with the "Centipede Workshop" and Chu Zikai combined, Li Banfeng would have almost no chance of winning against Chu Zikai.

Chu Zikai was on edge. While treating "Centipede Workshop," he kept a close Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers Banfeng, but Li Banfeng did not make a move.

Why isn't he making a move yet? Is he trying to wear me down?

The technique of Resounding Song Stops the Clouds is very taxing, and Chu Zikai didn't want to delay, but he also dared not slack off in the slightest.

He increased the volume of "You are My Medicine," and the iron pipes on the workshop floor moved slowly, as if the workshop was about to stand up.

Li Banfeng suddenly appeared on a tree next to the wall, Chu Zikai immediately used the Resounding Song Stops the Clouds to block him.

But Li Banfeng didn't use any techniques; he disappeared from the tree again, leaving his gloves behind.

The glove quietly produced a hand-cranked phonograph, cranked the handle, and started playing music—music that the lady of the house had engraved.

Chu Zikai wanted to cure "Centipede Workshop" as soon as possible. The volume of "You are My Medicine" grew louder and louder, but the volume of "I am Your Guokui" also grew louder.

Someone is singing along with me!

The sound came from that tree.

Is this a helper brought by the other party, or some kind of Spiritual Object?

The voice is very similar to mine, and the rhythm and melody are in sync with mine.

What are we supposed to do?

Chu Zikai didn't understand the other party's intention, and Li Banfeng suddenly launched Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers.

Well-prepared, Chu Zikai brought the Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers to a standstill with "I am Your Guokui" before his techniques could take effect.

Buzz!

With a change of tone, Chu Zikai prepared to transfer the technique to his side.

The technique was used, but the direction was wrong.

The transferred techniques didn't hit Tangyuan, but instead hit "Centipede Workshop".

Chu Zikai was shocked. His singing had been distorted by the record player's music, causing his technique to deviate.

Just like the SUV that exploded back then, the Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers that was originally ineffective in the workshop caused serious damage to the workshop after Chu Zikai moved it.

Boom!

The workshop shook, and one wall was completely destroyed.

The Main Steam Pipeline, which had just been restored, was blown up, and the equipment and instruments on the pipeline were scattered all over the ground.

The steam chamber and cylinders in the center of the workshop were blown to pieces, but that wasn't the most fatal damage.

The most fatal damage came from the boiler.

The shockwave from the explosion extinguished the flames in the boiler.

Chu Zikai wanted to rush up and light the boiler when Li Banfeng's figure appeared near the "Centipede Workshop".

If Chu Zikai focuses on defense, Li Banfeng won't have many options against him, and he might even get hurt if he's not careful.

Now that Chu Zikai wants to take the initiative, that's a different story. Li Banfeng won't let him get close to the workshop. If he tries even once, Chu Zikai could lose his life.

Li Banfeng stood quietly beside the boiler, waiting to see what other tricks Chu Zikai would have up his sleeve.

The green light around the Centipede Workshop rekindled, signifying that the "Centipede Workshop" had completely lost its life and its soul was about to leave.

Chu Zikai suddenly changed the song.

He sang "I am Your Guokui" while also singing "Follow Me in the Next Life".

Even if we cannot hold hands in this life, we will grow old together in the next.

"Follow Me in the Next Life" is not a song by Chu Zikai. It was a very popular song last year. Li Banfeng hadn't heard it much and couldn't understand the meaning of the lyrics. He only noticed that the centipede's spirit quickly left the workshop and rushed towards Chu Zikai.

This song can summon spirits.

Chu Zikai realized that the Centipede Workshop was beyond saving, so he resorted to taking the Centipede's soul as a second-best option.

Li Banfeng took out the Horse Whip given to him by Prince Chun and lashed the centipede's soul more than a dozen times at an extremely fast speed.

The centipede's soul was injured and it could no longer move.

The air around Chu Zikai was thick with the smell of blood; he was going to use his Blood Splatter Roaring Sound to fight Li Banfeng to the death.

Li Banfeng was just waiting for this moment.

The gloves were ready on the tree, and a new record was played.

This is a record that Wife specially recorded for the Blood Splatter Roaring Sound. When Li Banfeng and Thread-Pulling Earring both suffered losses from the Blood Splatter Roaring Sound technique, Wife studied it for many days and came up with a way to use the record to break the technique.

The record contains a scene from the opera "Fourth Son Visits His Mother". If the gloves can be played at the right time, the opera in the record can reduce the lethality of the Blood Splatter Roaring Sound.

Using the Blood Splatter Roaring Sound technique comes at a price; Chu Zikai himself will be injured. Once injured, he will be unable to use the Resounding Song Stops the Clouds technique, which has extremely high physical requirements. Without the Resounding Song Stops the Clouds, Chu Zikai will lose his means of dealing with the Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers.

Chu Zikai had prepared his Blood Splatter Roaring Sound technique, adjusted the position of the needle on his glove, and Li Banfeng was also ready to make his move.

Ugh!

Suddenly, an alarm sounded outside the wall, and a large number of Public Security Team rushed into the factory area.

What's going on?

Has the Dark Star Bureau arrived to provide support?

Who called for this backup? Could it be Tangyuan who did it?

Why is this alarm so loud and piercing? And why does it sound like there's some kind of technique involved in its sound?

Upon hearing the alarm, Chu Zikai seized the opportunity to change tactics, adopting the technique of Chiming In the alarm and amplifying it dozens of times.

The glove cranked the record player, trying to counteract Chu Zikai's technique, but the opera on the record was ineffective against the technique of Chiming In.

Seeing this, the glove stopped fighting and quickly swallowed the record player, then crawled into Li Banfeng's pocket.

The deafening alarm made Li Banfeng dizzy. His previously stiff and motionless "workshop" soul was awakened and rushed towards Chu Zikai again.

The sudden change completely disrupted Li Banfeng's plans.

Li Banfeng flicked his Horse Whip, binding the soul of "Centipede Workshop," and with a tug, he pulled the soul along with the Horse Whip into his sleeve.

Chu Zikai amplified the alarm's sound repeatedly, and under the onslaught of sound waves, he rushed towards Li Banfeng.

If the fight continues under these circumstances, Li Banfeng will suffer a great loss.

Li Banfeng did not fight Chu Zikai; instead, he kicked Chu Zikai.

Chu Zikai flew out, and Li Banfeng also flew out.

Travel Cultivator Ninth Layer of skills, A Farewell of Ten Thousand Miles.

Li Banfeng, who was flying in mid-air, looked at the Public Security Team were pouring into the factory area.

They wandered around the factory area, but still couldn't find the location of Li Banfeng and Chu Zikai's battle.

The alarm is still going off, and I have no idea who it's meant to warn.

Carrying the spirit of the centipede workshop, Li Banfeng flew for an unknown amount of time before falling into a paddy field.

After climbing out of the paddy field, Li Banfeng looked around for a long time.

"Where is this place?"

An old man nearby, splattered with mud, looked at Li Banfeng and said, "Damn it, what's going on?"

Li Banfeng gave the old man fifty yuan as compensation, then found a secluded spot and brought the spirit of the "Centipede Workshop" into his Portable Abode.

"My Wife, I've brought back a man from Inner State."

"Is it a clam?" The Wife was very excited, and the whole family was also very excited.

Having grown accustomed to delicacies from land and sea, they could treat even a Cloud Above Cultivator with equanimity.

But the flesh and blood of the Inner State people kept them from calming down; they still remembered the taste of that clam.

The record player said excitedly, "Projector, you missed the last meal, but after I finish eating, you'll be the first to eat this one."

The projector looked at Li Banfeng, paused for a moment, and said, "Regret is a kind of beauty belonging to art."

"What a pity—"

Li Banfeng released the soul of "Centipede Workshop," but it was only the soul.

The record player played a slow tempo, softly singing, "Hey, my lord, is this meal prepared especially for your Little Slave?"

Hong Ying protested, "Seventh Son, you can't do this! This wicked woman is eating meat, and you're not even going to give everyone a sip of soup?"

The record player grabbed a paddle to hit her, but Hong Ying shouted, "Brothers and sisters, fight this Wicked Woman! We can't let her eat all the food herself!"

Chaos Portable Abode.

Li Banfeng sighed and remained silent.

The Dark Star Bureau searched for a day and a night but could not find Li Banfeng's whereabouts.

Director Shen Jingye sat in his office, his right hand tightly gripping his chin, his expression unusually solemn.

Deputy Director Wang chimed in, "Judging from You Xuehan's description, a fierce battle took place on site. The Stealth Space she mentioned has still not been found. Director Li is likely in grave danger this time."

Shen Jingye remained silent, still tightly gripping his chin.

Li Qi has disappeared. He has actually disappeared.

You have to hold it tight, or Shen Jingye will burst out laughing.

At her workstation, Tangyuan's eyes were red from crying.

She regretted leaving the battlefield at the last moment; otherwise, she would have been able to save Seventh Master, or at least find out where Seventh Master had gone.

After crying, Tangyuan came to her senses.

Seventh Master is still alive, he must be alive. We'll go look for him again tomorrow. We need to find the crime scene at least. Maybe Seventh Master is still in that courtyard, maybe the fighting isn't over yet, maybe he's still waiting for me—

The landline rang, Tangyuan was stunned.

It was a call from Director Li's office.

Who could it be?

Tangyuan answered the phone and heard Li Qi's voice, "Tangyuan, come to my office."

Midon!

The receiver fell to the ground in Tangyuan's hand. She couldn't believe she had actually heard Li Qi's voice.

She picked up the receiver again, only to find that the other party had already hung up.

After sitting at her workstation for a while, Tangyuan wiped away her tears and took out a mirror to fix her makeup.

She habitually brought her notebook, tucked a pen into her jacket pocket, adjusted the nose clip on her glasses, straightened her back, and walked towards Li Qi's office.

The office lights are on. Is that him?

Is it really him?

Tangyuan took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Tangyuan entered the room and saw Li Qi sitting behind the desk.

Her body was trembling uncontrollably. She wanted to go up and hug Li Qi, but she didn't have the courage.

Li Qi remained calm and first poured Tangyuan glass of water.

"Sit down and have some water."

Tangyuan sat down in the chair, picked up her water glass, and took a sip.

The water was salty because she wanted to cry.

After swallowing the water, Tangyuan tried to calm herself down.

Li Banfeng remained calm throughout. He looked at the water glass and said, "The taste isn't quite right, is it? I added a laxative to the water."

Tangyuan was stunned for a moment, and her heart, which was already pounding wildly, started beating even faster.

"Seventh Master, why—"

Li Banfeng's face darkened. "Did you call the people from the bureau to the textile factory?"

Tangyuan shook her head and said, "It wasn't me. Without your orders, I wouldn't have asked the bureau for help."

"Who notified them? The Light Bulb and the Star?"

Tangyuan shook her head repeatedly, saying, "I don't know, it really wasn't me!"

Li Banfeng smiled sinisterly, "If you don't tell the truth, you're in for a world of trouble."

"Seventh Master, it really wasn't me! If you don't believe me, I'll drink this whole cup!" Tangyuan picked up the cup.

I drank the whole glass of water.

Li Banfeng was taken aback.

Tangyuan blushed and said, "I'll endure it right in front of you. I'm not lying to you, believe it or not!"

Judging from Tangyuan's strong-willed nature, she probably didn't do this.

P. S.: So who could have done it?
