Yi Zilan’s pupils constricted and he took a few steps back. “You’re from the Mystic World.”

Some people believed in mysticism, while many others didn’t. Yi Zilan never believed in such a thing. In his opinion, the psychics from the Mystic World were just a bunch of swindlers who fooled people with their gimmicks.

Yi Zilan looked at Liu Sanniang and asked her coldly. “How long have you been investigating me?”

Liu Sanniang answered calmly. “It’s the first time we met.”

Yi Zilan sneered. “First time? Miss, it doesn’t look like it’s the first time you met me. You said that I arrested the wrong person. What evidence do you have? What’s your motive for saying this?”

Liu Sanniang said, “Official Yi, do you know that there is a kind of person in this world who is already a true Buddha when they start cultivating? They are chosen by the heavens and can sense the evil. If there’s a motive, it’s to hope that there is less evil in the world.”

Yi Zilan looked at Liu Sanniang solemnly. He was trying to tell if what Liu Sanniang said was true or not but he did not back down. He stared at Liu Sanniang coldly, trying to catch a trace of guilt on her face.

However, no matter how fiercely he stared at her, Liu Sanniang’s expression remained calm.

Yi Zilan was a little angry. “You said that your motive is to reduce the evil in the world? This is the most ridiculous reason I’ve ever heard. You and Yang Yi are equally ridiculous. Do you think I’ll believe you? In your dreams!”

Liu Sanniang looked at Yi Zilan calmly, as if she was sensing something.

Yi Zilan frowned. He looked at Liu Sanniang and remembered that everyone in the capital had been talking about a psychic recently. The psychic seemed to be a little girl too.

What could she do? It seemed like she was reading his mind. He stood with his hands behind his back. She didn’t even touch him, so probably she wouldn’t be able to sense much. What was more, he didn’t feel like being invaded either.

Yi Zilan calmed down and looked at Liu Sanniang with composure.

He wanted to see what she could say.

Liu Sanniang reached out as if she had sensed something.

Yi Zilan looked at her hand. It didn’t touch him. He smiled coldly. “I’ve heard one thing or two about Miss Liu, but I won’t fall for your tricks.”

Liu Sanniang’s power gradually enveloped Yi Zilan, but what she sensed was a heavy mental defense. At this moment, she felt discomfort in her abdomen.

If she was a man, she would not have to suffer from period. If she could be stronger, she could break Yi Zilan’s mental defense without needing to touch him.

Her first period was also when she was at her weakest.

Chu Yan’s eyes were dark as he reached out and held Liu Sanniang’s hand. In an instant, Liu Sanniang felt an endless stream of power entering her body.

The discomfort in her stomach also reduced significantly. This force from Chu Yan was pure, thick, and powerful. She could easily sense all of Yi Zilan’s memories. His face was still filled with mockery. He did not even know that Liu Sanniang had already seen through him.

Liu Sanniang said slowly, “Official Yi, you will never forget that day when you opened the door to see a figure swaying in the air with her head tied to a robe. It was you who convinced your parents to marry your sister to that man whom you thought would definitely make a name for himself. But after your friend failed the exam, he couldn’t take the blow and committed suicide in the lake, and your sister followed suit. This is something that still plagues you day in and day out.”

Yi Zilan’s expression changed drastically. He reached out to hold the wall to stop himself from falling. He looked at Liu Sanniang with a dark gaze. “How did you know about this?”

That was something he had never told anyone, not even his parents.

Everyone thought that his sister had died of illness.

If word got out that she died for love, her parents would feel ashamed.

That poor but proud good friend of his suffered an injustice and killed himself in indignation. He knew that his good friend failed the exam that could promise him a good future because his exam paper was exchanged.

He hated Yang Yi because he was the examiner at that time.

How many people had been harmed by that corrupt official who sold exam papers? He wished that he could cut Yang Yi into pieces.

If not for Yang Yi, his sister would have long gotten married and borne children for her husband.

Yi Zilan looked at Liu Sanniang with a complicated expression.

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “You have arrested the wrong person.”

Yi Zilan took a few deep breaths. “How is that possible? I can’t be wrong about him.”

He hated Yang Yi for being corrupt and wanted to arrest him, but he wouldn’t go so far as to arrest people out of personal grudge.

Liu Sanniang replied with composure. “There are countless forbidden techniques that can allow people to change their appearance and even exchange identities.”

Yi Zilan frowned. “So you are saying the real Yang Yi used a forbidden technique to exchange identities with others to get away with it. The Yang Yi whom I caught is not that corrupt official at all?”

Yi Zilan looked at Liu Sanniang. He did not believe her words, but he could not explain how Liu Sanniang knew what was on his mind. Miao Yin’s matter had long spread throughout the capital. He had heard about it too but wasn’t too interested. He had never been infatuated with Miao Yin because he did not believe her at all.

He only believed in himself.

Yi Zilan turned around and left. His mind was in a mess and he needed time alone to sort it out. The joy of catching Yang Yi was all gone now.

Liu Sanniang watched as Yi Zilan left before walking away with Chu Yan. He held her hand and slowly lent his power to her to warm her body.

Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan. He did not seem to have anything to say.

She retracted her hand and suddenly felt Chu Yan tighten his grip.

When they returned home, Liu Sanniang saw Liu Yinniang standing outside. She seemed to want to knock on the door, but she did not do it for the longest time.

Hearing footsteps behind, Liu Yinniang turned around and saw Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan standing side by side. Liu Yinniang bit her lip and turned to run.

Chu Yan said calmly, “Go back and rest. Leave her alone.”

Liu Sanniang wanted to speak, but when she saw Chu Yan’s expressionless face, she was a little afraid and went back to her room obediently.

Yi Zilan was an upright person, so Liu Sanniang believed that he would investigate Yang Yi’s case thoroughly. At the very least, they had to stall for time. Yang Yi could not die yet.

The evil that Wu Yu had spread to Yang Yi had already taken form. Three days was too short. There was still a chance of survival for Yang Yi, and the chance depended on Yi Zilan.
