The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 808 Interrogation
Through the "investigation", Yu Chao's past information naturally appeared in front of Zhao Chen.

Strictly speaking, Yu Chao is not a bad person. Although he is a bastard in the family, he was just not valued at first. He lived the life of a rich young master and was not bullied for a long time. Naturally, he would not do anything extreme.

However, he actually had a rather cold and selfish personality. Not to mention outsiders, even his aunt and sister were not taken seriously by him.

Yu Chao's change began eight years ago, when he met the so-called "saint girl". Since then, he began to pursue progress, began to be friendly to his family, began to show his talents, and gradually became the most promising younger generation of the Yu family. Even his stepmother had to record him under her name and make him her legitimate son.

But this change was not spontaneous, but came from "Witch Fragrance"!
Speaking of which, the characteristics of "Witch's Fragrance" and Zhao Chen's "Five Immortals' Spiritual Qi" are somewhat similar, and both can make people feel good.

It’s just that the characteristics of “The Spiritual Qi of the Five Immortals” are more gentle, focusing on subtle influence, while “The Witch’s Fragrance” is a bit overbearing.

Of course, although he is overbearing, the "charming" effect is not so easy to detect. At least the Yu family, as a prominent family, just thinks that Yu Chao has suddenly become wise and motivated.

Even Yu Chao's current character and morals were deliberately guided by the witch.

And just now, while Zhao Chen was "investigating" Yu Chao, he used his two innate magic spells, "Five Directions Demon-Exterminating Spell" and "Five Emperors Demon-Subduing Spiritual Sound", to dispel the influence of the "Witch's Fragrance" remaining in his body.

But this has little effect. After all, unlike Qiu Wufeng who had just been bewitched, Yu Chao had already been successfully "customized" after eight years of inducement.

However, Zhao Chen's efforts were not in vain. Before, under the influence of the "Witch's Fragrance", Yu Chao did not realize that his changes came from the magical powers of the "Saint", but after Zhao Chen's "reminder", his old memories were awakened.

Yu Chao just stood there for a long while, his face sometimes ferocious, sometimes confused, sometimes angry, and sometimes smiling...

After a long while, he finally let out a long breath and said, "Anyway, I am no longer the selfish person I used to be... At least for this, I have to thank her."

After a pause, Yu Chao looked at Zhao Chen who was whispering with the Imperial Concubine in front of him, and organized his words: "No matter what, she made me who I am today. Even if I know that she has ulterior motives, I don't want to be her enemy."

At this time, Wang Qingling whispered something in his ear. Zhao Chen, who was pinched on the leg by her, twitched his mouth a few times before turning his attention back to Yu Chao and said with a smile:
"I don't want you to be her enemy. I just want to ask you a few questions and help me cover up for her so that she doesn't know that you and this girl were captured by me."

"I'm willing to cover for you...but as for the questions, there are some that I can't answer, you should know that." Yu Chao said carefully.

"Don't worry, I won't ask you those core questions about the plan of 'Witch House'." Zhao Chen waved his hand. The reason why he chose to ask Yu Chao instead of the girl with white eyes who had become his property was because the latter, as "material", actually knew less about the witches' purpose.

Zhao Chen first pointed at the woman with the white eyes and asked, "Your mission is actually to protect her safety, right?"

This can be seen from the fact that Yu Chao completely disregarded his own safety in the secret realm and was only focused on helping the woman with white eyes, so Zhao Chen must have wanted to ask more than just this.

Yu Chao understood what Zhao Chen meant. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Yes, she is an important 'tool' that the 'Saint' gave me to train. She is the most critical part of the 'Saint's' plan to come to the capital." Sure enough... Although he had expected this, Yu Chao's words undoubtedly confirmed Zhao Chen's guess, so he asked again, "Why did she give it to you to train and take care of?"

“Because these eyes need to be fed with a large amount of forbidden knowledge, they are very dangerous. Currently in the capital, apart from the ‘Saint’, only my sword formation can effectively suppress them.

"Just now in the secret realm, it was thanks to the Qiu brothers that they did not intend to kill her. Otherwise, if those eyes had gotten out of control, it would have been a big trouble." Yu Chao tried to say everything he could.

Zhao Chen nodded slightly, and then asked further: "What are these eyes called? What is their function?"

"I can only say that it is a degraded version of the demon's eyes. The Saint calls it the 'Pure White Eyes' or the 'White Eyes'.

"In addition to its flawed 'insight' and offensive and defensive repulsion and attraction, if it is cultivated to the best state, it can absorb all kinds of alien energy... I guess this is the purpose of the 'Saint's' targeted cultivation of it." Yu Chao said here, and a look of pain suddenly appeared on his face, "No, I can't continue to reveal the information of 'White Eyes', otherwise it will trigger the Saint's ban."

Flawed insight, repulsion, attraction, white eyes... The demon you are talking about, wouldn't it be called "Otsutsuki"? Zhao Chen complained in his heart, but he was not sure that there was no "Otsutsuki" here. After all, with the star god's magical power "Senluo Wanxiang", everything is possible.

There is no such storybook in Xuantian, but it is possible that such stories are circulating in some "cave heaven".

Zhao Chen did not continue to ask, but instead asked: "Is the 'saint' you are talking about Yan Ruyu?"

"Yan Ruyu is a 'saint', but the 'saint' is not Yan Ruyu.

"In fact, the real 'Yan Ruyu' has already died because she resisted us in the secret realm. The current Yan Ruyu is just the magical power of the 'Saint'." Yu Chao paused and continued, "But I think that Yan Ruyu no longer existed when she was brainwashed by the Baishui Gang's secret realm.

"What she showed later should be the will of the first generation leader of the Baishui Gang... After all, Yan Ruyu has no cultivation, unlike other legitimate heirs who are at least at the Gangsha realm and can bear the position and power granted by the secret realm."

Judging from your appearance, you seem to feel guilty and regretful about the death of the real Yan Ruyu? Zhao Chen complained in his heart, and finally asked, "Is your 'Saint' cooperating with a certain 'Dongxuan' real person?"

Zhao Chen originally thought that the mysterious man who had a deal with King Liang had been secretly watching the witches' actions, so he could accurately find the coordinates of the sealed place and inform King Liang every time they destroyed a secret realm.

But now the previous idea has been overturned... Because although Yu Chao did not say it explicitly, it can be seen from the information he revealed that the true status of the "Saint Lady" should be equivalent to the "Dongxuan" existence on the Daxia side.

Even though she might not be able to exert too much strength under the suppression of the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Array", it is still very difficult, almost impossible, to observe her secretly without being discovered by her.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the mysterious man has some kind of tacit understanding with the "Saint".
