As soon as the three of them returned to Lin Shu's house, they opened the door and saw Lin Shu tied up on the ground. Ye Jinse was walking on a stool with an angry look on her face, waiting for them to come back.

"Junior sister, what you said is indeed right. There is something fishy about Lin Shu. He actually wanted to escape secretly! And I caught him red-handed." Ye Jinse talked incessantly.

"But he refused to tell me anything and even accused us of being in league with that monster."

The more Ye Jinse spoke, the angrier she became.

Zhu Yunqing raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "Refused to speak? That's because Senior Sister is too gentle. Let me treat him. I don't believe he won't speak."

As he spoke, Zhu Yunqing stuffed a pill into Lin Shu's mouth. Immediately, his whole body began to twitch uncontrollably, accompanied by heart-wrenching pain.

"Do you feel like your whole body is bitten by bugs? You will be dead within a cup of tea." Zhu Yunqing said these words lightly, as if he was greeting someone.

"I said! I said!"

How could an ordinary person like Lin Shu bear all this? He confessed immediately.

Zhu Yunqing fed him the antidote, and just when Lin Shu was about to speak, Song Lanyue suddenly released the monster they had captured. She casually made a hand gesture, and the unconscious monster was immediately awakened by a stream of cold water.

"Let's talk about you and him first." Song Lanyue seemed to see through everything, and her dark pupils stared straight at Lin Shu.

Lin Shu felt guilty when she looked at him, and soon lowered his head, "What can I have to do with a monster?" Lin Shu said this with great lack of confidence.

Song Lanyue curled the corners of his mouth and said, "I didn't say he was a monster. How can an ordinary person like you see through his true form?" As he said that, Song Lanyue half-knelt and suddenly approached Lin Shu.

Lin Shu seemed to be ready to speak, so Xie Changci kindly reminded him, "Tell me about your relationship with him. If you don't, no one will notice even if you die here today."

"He was the one who kidnapped my wife!" Lin Shu pointed at the man who had just been awakened by the water.

"Bah! You sold her to me voluntarily!" When the man heard this, he immediately spat at Lin Shu. He had never seen such a shameless person!

"You are such a piece of shit, you even sell your own wife!"

"He's a good person with hands and feet. He could do anything else, but he actually did something like this."

The man started cursing without any mercy. He was going to die anyway, so he might as well swear before he died.

Ye Jinse couldn't bear it when she heard this and kicked him immediately.

Seeing that he was exposed, Lin Shu also tore off his disguise completely: "Yes! So what if I sell her out! Her life or death is mine, and her death is mine! So what if I sell her out!"

"Fuck you!" Song Lanyue grabbed his head and slammed it to the ground. Lin Shu's head was bleeding and he fainted.

Ye Jinse seemed to feel that it was not enough to vent her anger, and kicked the unconscious Lin Shu a few more times.

After things here came to an end, the few of them were ready to set off for the Seven-Foot Tower. After all, none of the four of them had ever heard of the location of the Seven-Foot Tower, so they needed someone to lead the way.

"Don't tell me you don't know the location of the Seven-Foot Tower." Song Lanyue put a sword on his neck, her eyes full of threats.

He nodded frantically, "I know, I know, I'll take you there." After a pause, he continued, "Can you let me go after we get there?"

Song Lanyue moved her sword closer and asked, "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate with us now?" she asked with her head tilted.

"However, it's not impossible to let you go if you behave well." Song Lanyue continued.

"Okay, I will lead the way!"

When the man heard this, he nodded immediately.

After the rest of the arrangements were made, Ye Jinse looked at Lin Shu lying on the ground with disdain, "What about him?"

Xie Changci: "Just don't let him die."

Ye Jinse was furious: "In my opinion, it's better to kill this kind of person."

"We can't kill him now. I'll go find the aunt at the entrance of the village and ask her to bring him water and food every day. Just make sure he doesn't starve to death before we come back." Song Lanyue said as he walked towards the entrance of the village.

If Xu Wan hadn't died, the two could have divorced. If Lin Shu was killed now, Xu Wan would have to bear the reputation of a widow if she lived.

As soon as Song Lanyue knocked on the door, the person inside opened it immediately. It seemed that he had not slept yet because he was worried.

"Master? How come you guys came back so soon? Ah Wan..."

"Don't worry for now, just listen to me." Song Lanyue patted her shoulder and comforted her.

Song Lanyue told her what Lin Shu had done and the clues they knew so far. After hearing this, her aunt couldn't help but curse: "This heartless guy actually sold his own wife!"

"Son of a bitch!"

Although my aunt was cursing, tears were welling up in her eyes.

"Master, don't worry. I will definitely do everything you ask. Now I just hope that the child Awan is safe and sound." She wiped her tears and spoke to Song Lanyue again.

"Don't worry, we will definitely bring her back."

Song Lanyue left this sentence and left the village with the few people who came behind.

The Seven-foot Tower was not far away, just in a town a hundred miles away, so the three of them immediately flew there on their swords. With someone leading the way, they went much faster, but by the time they arrived at the town, it was already dawn.

"Take us to the Qichi Tower now." Ye Jinse stared at the monster.

The faces of the people who had not rested for a night now looked a little tired, but they did not dare to waste any more time.

"It's not that I don't want to take you there. The Qichilou is only open at night. You won't find anything even if you go there now. There's nothing in the building during the day." The man shivered.

Ye Jinse's eyes narrowed, and a dagger was across his neck: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

The man wanted to cry but had no tears: "I want to say something, but you don't even give me the chance." It would have been fine if they didn't give him the chance to speak, but they just put him in a sack and took him along the way.

What a shame!

Xie Changci: "We haven't rested all night, so let's find an inn to rest. It won't be too late to take action at night."

Song Lanyue: "This seven-foot building is really strange."

Zhu Yunqing: "Okay."

Just like that, the few of them had to stop their actions temporarily and found an inn as close to the Seven-Foot Tower to stay in. When booking a room, Zhu Yunqing also asked the innkeeper about the Seven-Foot Tower.

"Boss, I want to ask if this Qichilou is really only open at night?"

The boss knew that they were from other places, and explained to Zhu Yunqing enthusiastically: "Yes, this Qi Chi Lou is only open at night. This is the rule set by the owner early in the morning."
