During the Qin Dynasty, he was in charge of the net.

"They remained silent throughout, so how did you get the answers from them?"

After Li Ji finished interrogating all the assassins from Luo Wang, Tian Yi looked at him, her tone cold, with a hint of confusion and doubt.

Li Ji was about to leave the guest room when he heard the question. He slowly turned around, a faint smile curving his lips.

"Why should they speak?"

A person may be stubborn, but their eyes, subconscious actions, and the fear hidden in their heart cannot lie.

The answers I seek are never what they tell me, but what I see with my own eyes.

This is precisely the terrifying aspect of the Mind-Observing Mantra.

When questioned by him, they all tried their best to conceal their true feelings, and it was difficult to get the answers you wanted from their words and appearance.

But he can see their faces directly, and he can see their hearts.

Even if a person can hide their lies well on the outside, their heart will still change.

In Li Ji's eyes, it was as if Qian Wu's head had turned into a rotten and cracked rat's head, and whenever it tried to hide something, black pus would flow out of its eye sockets.

This is why Li Ji was able to hit the nail on the head every time the other party tried to avoid the topic.

Therefore, it is not without reason that the Mind-Observation Incantation is listed as a forbidden incantation by the Yin-Yang School.

Perhaps this is why, in the eyes of the Yin-Yang School's treasure, the Illusionary Sound Box, the Mind-Observing Forbidden Spell is ranked alongside the Yin-Yang School's strongest secret technique, Soul Dragon Soaring, both being techniques that can only be comprehended through fifteen breaths of resonance.

For the treasured Illusionary Sound Box, magic has no inherent good or evil.

Setting aside the concepts of good and evil, the Mind-Observing Incantation may be even more terrifying than the Soul-Wandering Dragon Curse in some ways.

However, the mind-observation incantation also has a drawback.

That is, most people's hearts are very strange and ugly.

For example, Qianwu is a rotten rat head, and some people are fleshy lumps without facial features that are constantly wriggling.

When you see too much of this stuff, even the most resolute person will feel uncomfortable.

When he was being questioned, Li Ji was barely suppressing his murderous intent.

Looking at their faces, Li Ji felt that the people standing in front of him were not human, but some kind of strange creature.

If he hadn't wanted to avoid alerting the enemy, he would have killed them all.

Those rotting faces, maggot-infested flesh, pus-filled eye sockets, bent limbs...

Everything was extremely disgusting.

Tian Yi, standing in front of Li Ji, was the only one among the group of assassins from the Luo Wang organization who had maintained a human form.

Although she was a dirty little girl, she was exceptionally pleasing to the eye among the non-human creatures.

Thinking of this, Li Ji glanced back at Tian Yi behind him, his tone casual, yet his words carried a hint of control:

"This mission is now complete; return to Luowang."

I'd like to transfer you to my command. What do you think?

Tian Yi paused slightly.

She is currently only a second-class killer, and among the many second-class killers in the Luo Wang organization, her strength is not considered top-tier.

Ultimately, he probably wasn't attracted to her abilities.

Tian Yi lowered her eyes, her expression remaining cold and calm, and did not respond immediately.

"Can I have a few days to think about it? I will give you an answer before I return to Luo Wang."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ji took a step forward and slowly approached, his figure enveloping her in shadow.

What if I said, "I want your answer right now?"

Tian Yi fell silent upon hearing this.

Li Ji didn't give her any more time to think; he simply raised his hand and removed her mask.

A strand of black hair slipped down, revealing Tian Yi's beautiful yet aloof and detached face.

Before she could process what was happening, Li Ji stretched out his long arms and pulled her firmly into his embrace.

Tian Yi's body stiffened suddenly, but she did not struggle and let him hold her.

Her eyes were slightly lowered, and she could hear Li Ji's steady heartbeat beside her ear.

After a long silence, she finally spoke, her voice soft and tinged with melancholy:

"I've been practicing the water control technique you taught me for a long time these past few days, but I still can't even get a grasp of it."

Li Ji lowered his head and gently tidied her disheveled hair.

"Then there's no need to force it anymore; you're not suited for this water control technique."

Upon hearing this, Tian Yi looked up, her dark eyes clear and unwavering as she gazed at him quietly.

Li Ji had a strange feeling; she seemed angry.

Despite the strange way it was done, and despite not saying a single extra word.

"I will find you a more suitable cultivation method, one that won't be worse than this water control technique."

Tian Yi lowered her head again, so that Li Ji could not see her expression.

Li Ji didn't know whether she believed it or not.

Li Ji wasn't sure whether she had agreed to join his ranks or not.

She can be quite strange in this respect at times.

He rarely interacts with people and exudes an aura that keeps strangers at bay.

Previously, she had even drawn swords against Black Widow, who was traveling with her, over a trivial matter.

However, ever since Li Ji rescued her from those farmers, she seemed to treat him and others very differently.

At least she wouldn't refuse some of Li Ji's actions.

Only Li Ji could speak to her normally.

Since she hasn't refused yet, Li Ji takes it as her consent.

.......

the next day.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

On the shore of Yin Yang Family Island, a sea vessel is slowly sailing towards us.

The sea breeze, carrying a cool, damp scent, swept over me.

Li Ji stood tall and straight on the beach, dressed in a long black robe with a fur cloak over it and a broken water sword hanging at his waist.

His gaze swept over the group of assassins behind him.

Tian Yi followed closely beside him, still wearing a black jumpsuit and a mask covering her face. Although she had a beautiful figure, she could not hide the coldness emanating from her.

As for the other assassins from Luo Wang, they were secretly keeping an eye on their surroundings, but the moment they met Li Ji's gaze, they all trembled with fear.

One by one, they lowered their heads instantly, staring intently at the white sand beneath their feet, their bodies stiff as stones.

Although they are still alive, they do not know if they will be able to return to Luowang alive.

Before long, the Yin-Yang School's ship docked.

A group of assassins from the Luo Wang organization stepped onto the deck one by one, while the Yin Yang School disciples on the ship were ready to set sail.

Li Ji stayed behind, and just as he was about to step onto the ship, his foot suddenly stopped.

In the distance, a figure in pure white slowly walked towards us, bathed in the morning light.

The newcomer's robes fluttered, and a faint, shimmering white aura surrounded him, making him appear noble and otherworldly.

She is the Moon Goddess of the Yin-Yang School.

The Moon Goddess's gaze fell directly on Li Ji. She walked with composure, without glancing around at all, clearly having waited there specifically for him.

Li Ji withdrew his foot, which was about to step onto the ship, a knowing glint in his eyes.

It seems the Moon Goddess came to find him on purpose.

Li Ji raised his hand to signal the assassins from the Luo Wang organization on the ship to wait on the ship.

Then he took a step and walked towards the moon goddess.

After only ten or so steps, Li Ji stopped three feet in front of the Moon Goddess.

Li Ji raised his eyes and looked at the ethereal woman opposite him:

"Moon Goddess Protector, are you waiting here for something?"
