Junyao sat up and looked at the two of them seriously.

"I don't know what you're talking about... Stop beating around the bush! Tell me, where is Chen Lianxiang?"

Liang Jingu's lips trembled involuntarily. "That's all."

Jun Yao: "What do you mean by 'gone'?"

"They were reduced to ashes," Wan Lin said calmly. "They were burned to nothing by the Nine Nether Black Flames."

Junyao still suspected that the two of them were conspiring to deceive her.

She had never even seen the Nine Nether Black Flame before.

How can we talk about using it?

As if reading her mind, Wanlin took out the familiar little incense burner from his leather jacket pocket once again.

"You'll see for yourself."

Jun Yao took the incense burner and saw that the inner wall of the incense burner, which was originally bronze with gold patterns, was now completely black.

It's impossible to tell what it originally looked like.

Even the rim of the furnace bore the marks of being scorched by a large fire.

This incense burner has clearly been specially blessed.

Ordinary flames couldn't damage it like this.

Is it...

Did the Nine Nether Black Flame really appear?

Junyan vaguely remembered her emotions before she fell into a coma.

At that moment, overwhelming anger and hatred, like an irresistible nutrient, consumed her reason.

She originally just wanted to use any emotion that could make her clear-headed to sustain herself until she saw Zhou Yichuan, and then absorb the energy of resentment from him...

Unexpectedly, this anger actually attracted the Nine Nether Black Flames?

Could this thing be related to the violent aura emanating from Zhou Yichuan?

Junyao was eager to explore the truth further.

It was at this moment that she suddenly realized—

She had been awake for a while, but had not seen Zhou Yichuan.

Where is Zhou Yichuan?

Liang Jingu quickly and respectfully replied, "Yesterday, the demolition of the Chen family's old house was entirely overseen by General Manager Zhou. He should be catching up on sleep in the car right now."

Jun Yao was stunned. "Then... does that mean he knows she has some special abilities?!"

Wanlin understood Junyao's gaze once again.

He comforted him, saying, "It seems that President Zhou is not paying attention to your unusual behavior. He has been angry with the program director, questioning who decided to film the first episode in such a dangerous place that is involved in so many murders."

Liang Jingu chimed in, "President Zhou's concerns aren't unfounded... You're just filming a lighthearted variety show, so choosing locations with similar rumors but not much danger would be more appropriate. But the Chen family's old house could really be dangerous enough to endanger the entire production team!"

Junyao recalled the background of the production of "Heartbeat Threshold" once again.

From the very beginning, it seems to have been designed to satisfy the personal interests of the show's biggest sponsor.

The location for this season's adventure was probably chosen by that sponsor.

He always manages to pick a house that actually exists.

Could it be that they are also like-minded?

"Madam, please don't worry too much. Mr. Zhou has carefully communicated and discussed with the production team and decided to change the original filming location for the second season. He said there will be specific notification later."

Wanlin stretched, "Finally, I can go home and get a good night's sleep before the new notice comes."

Jun Yao solemnly raised his head and looked at the two of them.

"I'd appreciate it if you two could continue to cover for me this time."

"Although I am not the King of Hell, I cannot easily reveal my identity as a messenger of the underworld."

"If they try to hold anyone accountable later, it could be quite troublesome..."

"Therefore, I'm entrusting Chen Lianxiang's matter to the two of you!"

Liang Jingu was flattered and overwhelmed, saying, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it..."

Wanlin, on the other hand, has adapted.

In his heart, whatever Jun Yao said was right.

He just needs to do as he's told.

……

The recording of the first episode of "Heartbeat Threshold 3" hastily concluded.

Apart from Liang Jingu and Wan Lin, everyone else felt that:

The recording was too easy.

They were worried that they wouldn't get many shots.

The post-production team of the program is even more worried.

There wasn't much footage recorded for this episode to begin with.

He was not informed that about 40% of the content could not be broadcast directly to the public, but had to be edited into a funny and comical effect, and that the fact that a little girl's remains were buried under the Chen family's old house could not be actually announced to the public.

The only thing they could say to the outside world was that chicken and duck bones were found after the foundation was dug up.

This is because of the local feng shui tradition in Shuicheng. Burying chicken and duck bones in someone else's foundation is considered an extremely vicious curse.

At best, it will cause a family to suffer from strange illnesses, endless troubles, and an inability to retain wealth.

In severe cases, it can reverse the family's fortune, causing them to quarrel and harbor suspicions against each other, resulting in constant arguments, financial ruin, and even family breakdown.

Even burying animal bones is done in this way.

What's more, what was buried was human bones.

The guests who participated in the recording of the program were all aware of the truth.

Because everyone had signed confidentiality agreements with the production team, before leaving Lushui Village, everyone repeatedly promised that they would never reveal what they had seen and heard in the past few days.

But there are no secrets in the world.

On the day the recording ended, rumors began circulating online.

Some people gave detailed accounts, claiming they saw purplish-black flames in the sun at the scene.

Qin Yan's fans were excitedly shouting below:

"It must have been my older brother who brought it! His name contains the character for 'flame'! This is his lucky star protecting him!"

Qin Yan's reputation soared overnight.

Many passersby began to pay attention to the newcomer.

In contrast to Qin Yan, Jun Yao received only insults.

"Have you heard? That half-baked actress who announced her retirement from the entertainment industry has gone and recorded a comedy-style ghost show."

"Before filming began this season, the production team repeatedly stated that they were a serious program with an educational aspect."

"Now that Qiao Junyao has gotten involved, serious science popularization is out of the question, so we'll have to stick with the comedic style!"

"Because Qiao Junyao suddenly fainted during the recording of the show!"

"They say she fainted from fright! Everyone else is fine! Only she fainted!"

"How many lives does she have? She's so timid, why would she participate in a show like this?"

"I'm really afraid that someone's prank could scare her to death!"

"If I were her, I would have packed my bags and gone home to be a kept woman! Why would I bother coming out here and making a fool of myself?"

Qiao Nianyu saw the online criticism.

She's been busy getting back together with Wang Jingrong lately.

But they are only outwardly friendly, not inwardly harmonious.

Both of them had other dogs in their hearts.

They disliked the other person intensely, but couldn't defy their family's arrangements.

All I could do was feign compliance and endure it again and again.

Qiao Nianyu was thinking about how to complain to Zhou Yichuan when she unexpectedly came across the news that Qiao Junyao had fainted from fright during the recording of the show.

She then subtly inquired about Zhou Yichuan's schedule through someone else.

Upon learning that Zhou Yichuan had flown away to another place for work and had not yet returned, Qiao Nianyu became even more excited.

"I knew it! How could Zhou Yichuan suddenly fall for someone like Qiao Junyao who's practically throwing herself at him?"

"It's just a passing fad, a three-minute fad!"

Qiao Nianyu thought confidently:

If Zhou Yichuan truly cared for Qiao Junyao, how could he tolerate these people online mocking her?

It seems that Qiao Junyao's momentum has faded!

Qiao Nianyu bought a cake and pretended to visit Yuexing Huating.
