246 Investigate the Cause

Hearing Kong Yao’s accusation, Kong Rui couldn’t help but chuckle. “How can I not love you guys?! It’s just that what I’m going to do now is unsuitable for me to bring you guys along for. Now, I really have something I need you guys to do. Are you guys going?”

Kong Rui raised her eyebrows at Kong Yao and Kong Shu with a smile.

Kong Shu was about to respond when Kong Yao grabbed her. “Master must be thinking of a way to prevent us from following her again. She wants to find something boring to brush us off!”

Kong Rui reached out and poked Kong Yao’s angry face. The bouncy feeling made her poke it twice more. “Don’t worry, this matter will definitely be interesting!”

Kong Shu couldn’t help but ask, “What is it? I’ll help!”

“I want to go too!” Seeing that Kong Shu wanted to snatch credit, Kong Yao immediately expressed his stance.

Kong Rui reached out and pinched their little faces before saying, “I want you guys to go to Spirit Mountain and help me find out how Nie Yin escaped the trap array.”

When Kong Yao heard this, he snorted to express his disdain for this mission. “What’s there to investigate? How boring!”

Kong Shu could tell that Kong Rui seemed to be very concerned about this matter, so she asked, “Master, do you think there’s something fishy about this?”

Kong Rui nodded at Kong Shu. “Yes! With the array formation Chao Bai set up that day, it’s impossible for Nie Yin to escape from Spirit Mountain alone without any external force entering. We have to think of a way to investigate who this external force is. Otherwise, allowing others to enter the hinterland of Spirit Mountain at will might be disadvantageous to the Demon Abyss!”

“But how can those people enter the Demon Abyss so easily? Aren’t they very afraid of the Demon Abyss?” Kong Shu asked.

Previously, when she heard Her Highness and the others in the royal family mention the Demon Abyss, they always sounded afraid and resentful.

Kong Rui shook her head. “No! They’re not afraid. They just haven’t found a chance to resist the Demon Abyss and exploit it!”

“I definitely can’t give them this chance!” Kong Rui emphasized again.

“The last time Nie Yin and Li Ling appeared outside Spirit Mountain, it probably caused alarm. It’s just that at that time, I didn’t know about the queen and the Li family’s scheme! Now that I know, I definitely can’t let them have the chance to hurt the Demon Abyss!”

Kong Shu and Kong Yao immediately nodded. “Alright! We’ll definitely find out the reason!”

Kong Rui smiled as she stroked the two little fellows’ cheeks. “Alright! I’ll leave it to you two!”

The two little fellows transformed into two dazzling lights in front of Kong Rui and scurried out of her room.

As soon as the two spirit beasts left, Kong Rui heard a commotion in the front hall of Fragrant Garden.

It seemed that the guests the brothel keeper had mentioned had arrived.

Kong Rui couldn’t be bothered to deal with these things. Although she was a little curious about those guests, she just had to wait for Ling Nuo to return and report the situation.

Kong Rui hadn’t cultivated seriously in a long while. Ever since her spiritual power and magic power collided last time, there seemed to be a flux surging in her body.

In the past two days, Kong Rui felt as if something was about to rush out of her dantian and it made her feel uneasy.

Kong Rui sat cross-legged on the bed as she used her inner vision to check the abnormality in her body.

However, when she searched her body, she didn’t find anything unusual.

“Since there’s nothing unusual, hurry up and cultivate! Don’t waste the pills Chao Bai left behind!” Kong Rui thought to herself. After she closed her eyes, she adjusted her internal breath and activated her spiritual power to cultivate.

Half a day passed before Kong Rui slowly opened her eyes.

“Why aren’t those two little fellows back yet?” Kong Rui stood up and walked to the window.

As soon as she opened the window, she saw two lights flash into the room.
