This black collar was one that had only appeared after he had tamed her.
He knew that this thing was related to his skill, but he didnât know what the use of this collar was.
At the same time, he couldnât help feeling worried about it since this was a collar that had appeared out of nowhere. If anyone were to see this, they would naturally question it and where it came from.
Not to mentionâŠit was basically impossible to hide it in the first place.
Lin Fan was surprised that neither of them had even mentioned it until now since it was in such a prominent position.
At the same time, he was surprised that Lu Ye hadnât said anything about it.
She was the one that was wearing it, so she was clearly the one that should have felt it the most.
But she hadnât said a single thingâŠ
It was almost as if she didnât even notice the collar that was on her neck.
After looking at the collar for a bit, Lin Fan decided to suddenly grab it and pull her towards him with it.
When the three girls in the room saw this, they couldnât help being surprised by it.
Mu Bao Bao finally couldnât take it anymore and said, âHow are you doing that?â
Lin Fan looked at her with a confused look and asked, âDoing what?â
Mu Bao Bao pointed at his hand holding the collar and said, âThat. How are you pulling her without touching her?â
Lin Fan had a confused look at first, but then he realized what she was talking about.
She couldnât see the collar!
As he looked around at the three girls, while he couldnât see Senior Sister Bing or Mu Bao Baoâs expressions, it wasnât hard for him to tell what they were thinking.
All three of them were confused as to how he was seemingly pulling Lu Ye forward by grabbing the air.
It seemed that this collar was even more profound than he thoughtâŠ
But there was nothing normal about the skills and system that he had received from the God of Earth in the first place.
Since they couldnât see it, there was nothing else for him to worry about.
He let go of the collar and didnât answer her question as he looked at Lu Ye.
After a bit of silence, he finally said, âTell me who you work for.â
Lu Yeâs eyes opened wide when she heard this since this wasnât what she had expected to hear. She had expected many things, but this was certainly one of the things that she had never expected.
After all, during these past few days, she had been tortured the entire time and there had been no clues of this.
She had been trying to figure out what the other side was doing, but she hadnât been able to find a single clue.
Now that they had finally revealed themselves, she couldnât help being confused why they would do this.
After all, there was no way that she would ever answer this question.
Even the thought of it sent a chill down her spine.
The people that she worked forâŠif they ever found out that she had exposed themâŠdeath would be a mercy.
Those people did things that were much worse than death.
So she would never expose them.
Lu Ye opened her mouth to say, âI would neverâŠâ
But before she could actually say this, she felt that her mouth muscles suddenly turned stiff. She almost choked on the words that she had been trying to say, as if her body was rejecting these words.
Her eyes opened wide, but then relaxed again.
Her expression completely changed as she revealed a calm look and said, âThe eighth prince.â
After she said this, her expression changed again. Her eyes opened wide in shock and her chin dropped as she couldnât believe what she had just said.
But at the same time, there was fear that appeared in her eyes as she realized what kind of situation she was now in.
The fact that she had exposed the eighth prince like this couldnât be taken back and she had no way of stopping the people in front of her. That meant that eventually, the fact that she had exposed the eighth prince would be knownâŠ
She never once thought that the people in front of her would be able to take care of the eighth prince.
In her mind, the eighth princeâs power was absolute.
After they heard that it was the eighth prince again, all three of them couldnât help knitting their brows.
Both Mu Bao Bao and Senior Sister Bing couldnât help looking at Lin Fan after hearing this.
Both of them wondered just how Lin Fan had compelled Lu Ye to reveal this information, but they couldnât figure it out.
But the more important thing was that they still had to deal with the eighth prince.
They already knew that the eighth prince was involved in the matter of the Love Sectâs demise along with the twelfth prince. So in the first place, they were already planning on taking care of the eighth prince eventually.
But now, there was another reason for this.
After thinking about it, Lin Fan suddenly asked, âHow did you recognize the token of the Love Sect?â
He had been watching the whole time, so he had seen Lu Yeâs reaction when she saw the token he had placed as bait. He knew that she recognized it and knew what was special about this token.
Lu Ye wanted to cover her mouth, but her body suddenly resisted and she still said, âI was taught everything about the Love Sect and Mu Bao Bao for the mission. There isnât a single thing about the Love Sect and Mu Bao Bao that I donât know.â
Once again, the three of them knitted their brows when they heard this.
They had already suspected that this was the case, but hearing it still surprised them.
It seemed that the eighth prince and most likely the twelfth prince werenât willing to let them go.
At the same time, the eighth prince was becoming desperate that he was leaving out bait like this.
But why did the eighth prince have such a grudge against the Love Sect and Mu Bao Bao?
Why did the eighth prince go so far?
This was what Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao couldnât understand.
They had already guessed that it was related to Mu Bao Baoâs secret identity, but that still didnât make sense since Mu Bao Bao didnât have any influence with that secret identity.
She would never pose an actual threat to them.
But then Lin Fan couldnât help remembering that the fourth prince had sent them on this mission to find âMu Bao Baoâ.
Why would the fourth prince do that unlessâŠ
Something had changed in the Mu Royal Family.
That was the only thing that could explain everything that had happened recently.
Not to mention that they had already learned from the fourth prince that Emperor Mu had been poisonedâŠ
So the best guess was that there was now a succession war going onâŠ
There were just too many factors to consider and too many things that were unknown, so Lin Fan threw this thought out of his mind and focused on getting more information out of Lu Ye.
Over the next half an hour, he asked Lu Ye many different questions and received many different answers.
Some of these answers were useful, but most of them didnât give him much information.
He had thought that Lu Ye was an important person since they had entrusted her with such an important mission, but it seemed like she was nothing more than a sacrificial pawn.
She was someone that didnât have the information that he needed.
Once he was done interrogating her, he realized that there was nothing else that he could do with her.
Lin Fan turned around to leave, but Mu Bao Bao and Senior Sister Bing stopped him.
After stopping him, they looked at the naked Lu Ye who was still standing there with tears streaming down her face. Mu Bao Bao then asked, âWhat do we do with her?â
Lin Fan just calmly said, âThereâs no need to do anything with her. We can just leave her locked up here.â
Both Mu Bao Bao and Senior Sister Bing were surprised to hear this since Lin Fan hadnât spared a single person during this time.
All of the mercenaries had been wiped out on his orders to leave no loose ends and even the puppets that he usedâŠwere made to self destruct or killed.
So why would he show mercy to Lu Ye now?đđłđ”xt.đ°đđ
Lin Fan could see the surprise and confusion that they felt, so he said, âNo matter what she does, she wonât be able to escape this place. Not to mention, even if she did, she would still come back with a single order from me. Thereâs nothing to worry about.â
Both of them looked at him with skeptical looks that he could understand even if he couldnât see their faces.
But in the end, they decided to trust him.
It wasnât just because of the things that he had shown them before, but also because of the confidence that he had in his voice just now.
It was as if he was certain that nothing would happen.
So in the end, they followed him out without a word.
Only when they were gone did the binding on Lu Ye break and she fell to the ground.
She looked down at her hands in a daze before finally asking in a broken voice, âJust what kind of magic did he use?â
