Three times married to Yama

Yun Fu's expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Master, you really don't trust me at all. I'm heartbroken." Yun Fu's tone sounded very sad and resentful.

But I know it's all fake; this guy is a master of pretense.

I glanced at Yun Fu and said calmly, "Stop beating around the bush, just tell me what you know."

Seeing that Yun Fu's gaze was still fixed on the Sanqing Bell, I could only gently stroke it. But what if my hand trembled and I accidentally rang the bell?

Yun Fu naturally understood what I meant. After all, we've been together for so long, and I think we have some kind of tacit understanding between us.

"Since you're so eager to know, I'll mercifully tell you. That stinky yet sweet smell you described comes from an evil spirit sealed in the mountains, and it's emanating from it."

"As for why it smells both bad and sweet, perhaps the little girl didn't express herself clearly enough. It's not that it smells both bad and sweet, but rather..."

At this point, Yun Fu deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

I'm speechless. I've been listening intently. What does it mean to stop halfway through a sentence?

"But what?" I pressed.

Yun Fu narrowed his eyes, a fleeting darkness in them. "It's the evil intent emanating from that malevolent spirit."

If we compare evil thoughts to stench, then what about sweetness?

I looked at Yun Fu suspiciously. "Just malice? What about the sweetness the little princess mentioned?"

"As for the sweetness... perhaps the evil spirit still retains a trace of its beautiful memories from its previous life, so that it was not completely devoured by its malice."

I didn't know whether Yun Fu's words were entirely trustworthy, but if he tricked me, he probably wouldn't gain anything either. After thinking about it for a moment, I decided to trust him for the time being.

"Didn't you go up and take a look at that evil spirit?" I asked.

Yun Fu chuckled upon hearing this and said, "I only took a look from outside. The formation that seals the evil spirits is very strange. I can't get in. If I force my way in, Lingyu Mountain will definitely find out. Master, you don't want to cause trouble at Lingyu Mountain, do you?"

"Hmm, you did a good job, you didn't move around." I nodded.

I never expected that a powerful evil spirit was sealed deep within Lingyu Mountain. But I'll pretend I don't know, since no one brought it up.

The next day, the second round of the arena battle began, with ten people in a group, and two winners from each group.

Having learned from my previous experience, I went to the competition venue early this time and found a good spot to sit down, not far behind the judges' table.

People started entering the venue one after another, and the judges also arrived. They were the same judges as before, including the vice president and my mentor, Sui Ye.

I was looking down at the booklet that Ji Fengya had given me when someone suddenly patted me on the shoulder from behind.

I turned around and saw my master, dressed in white, standing behind me.

This time, his long, silver-white hair was casually draped over his shoulders, making him look as gentle as moonlight.

"Master!" I stood up abruptly.

As a result, my master pressed my shoulder and made me sit down again. He took a long stride from the back row and came to my side, then sat down next to me.

"You're so excited to see me?" Master smiled slightly and reached out to rub the top of my head.
