Qing Qing placed her hand on Ban Fenghuo's forehead. Immediately, a small green sprout mark appeared on Ban Fenghuo's forehead.
"Let me ask you one more time."
Hearing this, Shen Qing spoke again, "What happened to you in the Main Divine Hall?"
But Ban Fenghuo remained silent. Her eyes, however, opened wider and wider, and her mouth let out sounds of fear and horror.
Seeing this, Qing Qing increased her spiritual power, but Ban Fenghuo still didn't say a word.
Jiang Zhiyun also curiously turned her head.
The four of them stared fixedly at Ban Fenghuo. Then, in their shocked gazes, Ban Fenghuo shed two lines of bloody tears.
Shen Qing quickly stepped forward. "Qing Qing! Stop!"
Qing Qing withdrew her hand, looking a bit reluctant.
Jiang Zhiyun supported Qing Qing, who staggered slightly. "Sit down quickly."
Feeling the tremor of Qing Qing's fingertips, Jiang Zhiyun felt extremely distressed. "It's not your fault."
Qing Qing closed her eyes, tightly grasped Jiang Zhiyun's hand, and nodded.
To be honest, Jiang Zhiyun knew that Ban Fenghuo was one of the culprits who had harmed Qing Qing. Even though Qing Qing had turned misfortune into fortune and merged with the Life of All Things, she only felt disgust towards Ban Fenghuo.
When seeing Ban Fenghuo tortured so painfully by the Soul Grass, Jiang Zhiyun only felt an instinctive reluctance, but that trace of disgust immediately overwhelmed it.
But Qing Qing was different. Jiang Zhiyun understood Qing Qing's kindness. Even though she had made up her mind, when seeing the person who had harmed her in such pain, Qing Qing would still feel guilty.
Just this bit of guilt was enough to make her feel conscience-stricken.
Shen Qing turned around and saw Jiang Zhiyun comforting Qing Qing. Then she turned back with relief and lifted Ban Fenghuo's chin.
"Master, have you noticed anything different?"
Ling Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Little disciple, there's a very strange thing. I seem to..."
Shen Qing sighed and looked back at Qing Qing. "Qing Qing, can you take out the Soul Grass?"
Qing Qing nodded, waved her hand, and the mark on Ban Fenghuo's forehead disappeared.
Shen Qing gave Qing Qing a grateful look.
The moment the mark disappeared, Ban Fenghuo returned to normal. However, the pain caused by the Soul Grass made her face ferocious, and her mouth kept letting out painful screams.
"I'm in so much pain. I'm in so much pain. Father, save me. Don't hand me over to those disgusting people!"
"I don't want to be a medicine person. Don't let those disgusting things enter my mind anymore!!"
"Medicine person?"
Shen Qing grabbed Ban Fenghuo's shoulders and made her look directly into her eyes.
But Ban Fenghuo dodged fearfully. There was no sign of Shen Qing in her eyes, only full of fear.
"What should we do? Is she going crazy?" Jiang Zhiyun frowned and asked.
A glint of understanding flashed in Shen Qing's eyes as she looked at Ban Fenghuo meaningfully.
At this time, Qing Qing stood up. "Shen Qing, let me try one more time."
Jiang Zhiyun immediately refused. "No! Your body is already like this. How can you keep using the Life of All Things again and again!"
Qing Qing replied softly, "Zhiyun, do you really think that the Main Divine Hall went to so much trouble to arrange someone to come in just for immortality?"
Jiang Zhiyun was surprised. "Isn't it? Then what you said in the main hall..."
"Don't tell me... you were just kidding Elders Lianshan and Lianqiao??"
Qing Qing coughed and stroked Jiang Zhiyun's head. "Fortunately, you're not too stupid."
"Although it's called immortality, it can't really make people immortal. After Ban Fenghuo entered the Qingmu Sect, her goal was never the position of the young sect master. Perhaps, to put it another way, her only goal was the Life of All Things and its contracted master."
Jiang Zhiyun was almost dizzy from Qing Qing's words. Her mind was in a complete mess.
Shen Qing stepped aside and told Qing Qing, "Be careful. Don't stimulate her too much. If she really becomes a fool, we'll miss a good opportunity to learn about the Main Divine Hall."
Qing Qing nodded. She hadn't expected that there was a restriction on Ban Fenghuo's body before, but now that she knew, she wouldn't use the Soul Grass again.
"This is the Spiritual Pearl. It's made by mixing thirty kinds of herbs that can make people's minds clear. Let Ban Fenghuo take it. It should be able to force her to regain her consciousness, and it won't be harmful to the human body."
Knowing that Shen Qing was worried, Qing Qing added this last sentence.
The Spiritual Pearl was forcefully stuffed into Ban Fenghuo's mouth by Qing Qing. After a moment, Ban Fenghuo calmed down.
She looked around in confusion, her body trembling.
"Where... am I?"
Ban Fenghuo looked at Qing Qing. After a moment of reaction, she remembered her situation.
"What did you do to me? Why does my spiritual sea hurt so much?"
Shen Qing squatted down and looked Ban Fenghuo in the eye.
"What is a medicine person?"
Ban Fenghuo's face instantly turned pale, and her eyes were filled with fear. "How do you know about that!!"
"I..."
"At..."
Ban Fenghuo wanted to say something, but she could only open her mouth helplessly and couldn't make a sound.
After trying several times, Ban Fenghuo simply sat on the ground and sneered.
"You don't think you can get any information from me. There's a restriction placed on me by Immortal Huiyan."
Shen Qing nodded. "I guessed it. In that case, you can go back to the Main Divine Hall."
Ban Fenghuo looked up in disbelief. "Don't you have any compassion at all? You know about the medicine people. Don't you know what I've been through? Even though something happened to Qing Qing, it was Qing Dai who planned it and Xu Yanxi who inserted the silver needles. I was just an accomplice!!"
"Slap——"
Shen Qing slapped Ban Fenghuo across the face with all her strength, making half of Ban Fenghuo's face instantly swollen and red.
"Who are you shouting at?"
"Don't you know your own situation? Stop blabbering. It's so annoying!"
Shen Qing stared at Ban Fenghuo impatiently. The strong killing intent in her eyes made Ban Fenghuo can't help but shrink her neck.
"It was Immortal Huiyan who placed the restriction, but it was you who actively asked him to do it, right?"
"Your bloody tears and act of feigning madness almost deceived us just now."
A flash of surprise passed through Ban Fenghuo's eyes, but she still looked angry. "What are you talking about? I don't understand..."
"Slap——"
Another slap.
Shen Qing said coldly, "I said, stop blabbering nonsense!"
Jiang Zhiyun was stunned and asked in confusion, "Shen Qing, what are you talking about?"
A sarcastic smile curled up on Shen Qing's lips. "This Fairy Ban really has good acting skills. She almost deceived all of us."
"All that about the spiritual grass and the Spiritual Pearl just now was Qing Qing's trick on you!"
"She just sent a burst of spiritual power into your spiritual sea. What you took was just an ordinary pill, but you cooperated so well. Isn't it just to confuse us so that you can leave some false information for us after our interrogation and thus stay in the Qingmu Sect?"
"You're a medicine person. This skin of yours is fake, so you won't have any reaction to the medicine. You can only cooperate based on our words and pretend to be tricked."
Shen Qing raised her hand, gently stroked Ban Fenghuo's face, and then tore it forcefully. A face skin was completely torn off by her.
A bloody face was exposed in front of the four of them.
