Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

Tingyun slowly stood up, walked to Xueyi, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Fine, fine, fine."

"Lady Xueyi, I will remember what happened today."

"I hope that when the truth comes out, you won't regret your choice."

Xueyi waved her hand: "The Ten Kings Division does not welcome anyone who interferes with official business. Han Ya, see the guest out."

Tingyun snorted lightly: "No need, I remember the way out."

Su Jinyan shook his head slightly: "Tingyun, it would be best to have Judge Hanya escort you on your way."

“I’m worried about you leaving here alone. You know what I’m worried about.”

After a moment's thought, Tingyun nodded and said, "Since my benefactor says so, then I'll trouble you, Lord Hanya."

Han Ya, carrying the underworld messenger and lantern, walked ahead: "Let's go, this humble woman will escort you away from the Ten Kings' Division."

Su Jinyan said, "No, Lord Hanya."

“What I mean is, I hope you can escort Tingyun back to Taibusi.”

Han Ya shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Su Jinyan, I have no such obligation."

Su Jinyan wasn't surprised: "I owe you a favor, you should know what I mean."

The crow's expression changed: "Alright, it's a deal."

"With your words, I will definitely escort Miss Tingyun safely to the Taibu Si."

Of course she knew what Su Jinyan meant by those words.

That is, he can pretend he doesn't know anything about what happened in the prison today.

In this way, the deaths of those farmers became irrelevant.

The crow need not worry that Snow Robe will be punished by the Ten Kings.

After Han Ya and Ting Yun left the prison, Xue Yi calmly asked, "Is this really a good idea?"

"Shouldn't you use this as leverage to blackmail me into letting you go?"

Su Jinyan smiled slightly: "Even if I use the deaths of these prisoners to blackmail you."

"You won't let me go either, will you?"

Xueyi remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "One thing at a time, for a cunning and wicked person like you."

“I would rather be punished by the ten kings than let you leave.”

“I gave the Earth Balance Division official half an hour, and I give you the same time limit.”

"You don't have much time left. Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Su Jinyan's eyes were playful: "Who gave you such a misconception?"

"How about this, Your Honor?"

"Let's play a game. I'll bet you whether I can leave the Ten Kings Division safely today."

"If I lose, I'll let you do whatever you want with me."

“I will not use the deaths of these farmers to blackmail you, nor will I report your actions to the Ten Kings’ Office on the grounds that they do not comply with the detention procedures.”

"Win, all I want is for you to sincerely apologize to me."

"And for the next month, you will be my personal puppet."

Xueyi gently shook her head: "You know, this is meaningless. The judges of the Ten Kings Division will not agree to such a bet."

"The judges of the Ten Kings' Court are subordinate to the Ten Kings' Court and cannot serve you."

Su Jinyan laughed: "I promise I won't force you to do anything against your will."

"Furthermore, even if I win, given the style of the judges of the Ten Kings Division, they can easily back out."

"Or are you scared? Really?"

“A judge of the Ten Kings’ Court, who has determined that I am a major suspect.”

"Even in a bet that's almost a sure win, they back down?"

Xueyi clenched her fists and whispered a single word: "Gamble."

Su Jinyan feigned confusion: "Huh? Speak louder, I didn't hear you clearly."

Xueyi breathed heavily, her knuckles white from gripping the clenched fist: "Bet, since you like gambling so much, then I'll bet with you!"

"If I lose, you can do whatever you want with my puppet body."

"You can play however you want, and I won't even flinch."

"If you lose, I will execute you with my own hands, and I will not let you die too easily!"

Su Jinyan clapped his hands and exclaimed, "As expected of a judge of the Ten Kings Division, he always bets the biggest bets."

"Then I'll raise the bet too."

"If I lose, I will be at your mercy."

"I will also tell you the 'List of Secret Herbalists' that I obtained."

Xueyi's eyes were unfriendly as she gripped the Demon-Slaying Cone tightly: "...You really do have a problem."

At this moment, a messenger from the underworld, carrying a lantern, hurriedly arrived at the scene.

"Lord Xueyi, the heads of the Six Departments, led by General Jingyuan of the Divine Strategy Army, have come to visit."

Xueyi felt puzzled and looked at him with more confusion:

"Are they here to bail you out?"

"Guess what?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if either Jing Yuan or Fu Xuan came."

"But how did you manage to get so many high-ranking officials to put pressure on the Ten Kings' Division?"

Su Jinyan smiled faintly and did not answer.

"Lord Xueyi, aren't you taking me out with you?"

"If the general were to see me, this 'prime suspect,' imprisoned in a dungeon..."

"Even if you are a judge of the Ten Kings Division, you wouldn't be able to easily withstand this pressure, would you?"

Xueyi silently pushed open the cell door: "Come with me."

Chapter Sixty-Two: Snow-Clad Robe - The Red Warmth Has Arrived

Before the encrypted chat logs were deciphered, Xueyi remained suspicious of Su Jinyan.

However, the judge could not detain him in the prison simply because of suspicion.

At Xueyi's suggestion, Su Jinyan was respectfully invited by the military officers of the You Mansion to a side room of the You Mansion.

Although Xueyi was very unwilling, she could not treat Su Jinyan as a prisoner in front of Jingyuan and the others, nor could she put chains on him.

"Gentlemen, please have some tea."

"Our residence is simple and we apologize for any shortcomings in our hospitality."

Xueyi's beautiful eyes remained calm as she gestured for Jingyuan and the others to have some tea.

Fu Xuan spoke first, saying, "Ayan, come and sit down next to me."

Her tone carried a subtle, unquestionable quality.

In Fu Xuan's view, Su Jinyan was innocent, so why should he stand beside the judge like a suspect?

Xueyi frowned: "Fu Taibu, no."

Fu Xuan asked without any politeness, "Why not?"

Xueyi's expression remained calm: "Su Jinyan is highly suspected and is very likely to have violated the Ten Kings' Laws, specifically the 'Ten Unpardonable Crimes'."

"Not binding him before the suspicion has been cleared is already out of consideration for Fu Taibu."

The Ten Kings' Offices hold significant responsibilities, overseeing the life and death of the Immortal Ship's inhabitants; therefore, their status surpasses that of the Six Emperors.

For this reason, the Ten Kings' Office must ensure its independence and purity, and must not have any dealings with any superficial social entities that involve interests.

However, the reason why Jing Yuan dared to come to the Ten Kings' Office to hold them accountable today was precisely because he had enough confidence.

That is—a confidential file sealed in the Shence Mansion, which is enough to prove that Su Jinyan is an undercover agent.

Only Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan knew of the existence of the file; no one else knew.

Jing Yuan smiled faintly and said, "We have come here to clear Su Qing of this suspicion."

"Judge Xueyi, these are the confidential files that Su Qing left in the Shence Palace and the Grand Divination Bureau."
