"Huh? My cultivation level?"

Su Wu was visibly taken aback when Chen Duo asked him the question.

It seems that Chen Duo, through close contact, sensed the cultivation level of his qi and blood.

But Su Wu already had an explanation for this.

"You mean my strength?"

"After leaving that fox demon's cell yesterday, I found that I was much stronger when I got back."

"The symptoms of cold toxins in my body have also lessened considerably."

"This must be what you meant by the first level of Body Tempering, Lord Prisoner."

At this point, Su Wu scratched the back of his head somewhat shyly.

"I was planning to ask Uncle Liu about it after he woke up, but I came to submit my report to you first, sir."

Hearing Su Wu's flawless answer, Chen Duo nodded slightly.

He loosened Su Wu's collar, reached out and brushed the dust off his shoulders, his tone softening.

"take it easy."

"As you know, our duties are special. Living in the Demon Prison, we are sometimes inevitably tainted by demonic energy or corrupted by demons."

"This prison history is also for security reasons."

Faced with Chen Duo's words of comfort, Su Wu nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"The prison clerk is right."

"I understand."

Seeing how sensible Su Wu was, Chen Duo's expression softened even more.

"Alright, I've read the report and asked all the questions."

"It was just an accident, everything's fine now, you can go."

Hearing Chen Duo's words, Su Wu breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly clasped his hands in thanks to Chen Duo.

"Thank you for your trust, sir. I'll head back now."

"Um."

Chen Duo waved gently at Su Wu.

But just as Su Wu was about to step out of the gate of the residence, Chen Duo suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, did that fox demon say anything to you before it died?"

Su Wu paused upon hearing this, then turned around and scratched the back of his head, trying to recall.

"It seems like there is... but not?"

"My mind was too confused at the time, I can't remember clearly."

"Sir, you know, in that situation, I didn't even know what I was doing..."

"Alright, I got it." Before Su Wu could finish speaking, Chen Duo smiled and waved at him.

"Go do your thing."

Upon hearing this, Su Wu felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly clasped his hands in thanks to Chen Duo again before turning to leave.

Watching Su Wu's departing figure at the end of the corridor, Chen Duo's smile gradually faded.

It was no longer as gentle as before.

Just then, a figure emerged from behind the screen behind Chen Duo.

"Lord Prisoner, are you just going to let that kid go like that?"

"Do you really think that the fox demon was blinded by lust and took a liking to this boy, transferring her true yin to him?"

Chen Duo turned to look at Wu Er behind him, but instead of answering Wu Er's question, he asked Wu Er a question in return.

"So, after listening for so long, what do you think?"

Faced with Chen Duo's question, Wu Er looked at the end of the corridor where Su Wu had left and frowned as he spoke.

"It sounds like there's nothing wrong with this kid's answer."

"His reaction matches the facts."

"A sixteen-year-old shouldn't have such deep cunning."

Listening to Wu Er's analysis, Chen Duo's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I agree with you, I think there's nothing wrong with this kid's answer."

"It has all the expected reactions and all the necessary subtle flaws."

"But I always feel like something's not right."

"My gut feeling tells me there's something wrong with this kid."

Listening to Chen Duo's words, Wu Er cautiously spoke up from the side.

"Lord Prison Secretary, so you mean...?"

"Proceed according to the original plan." Chen Duo's tone was undisguisedly cold.

"Regardless of whether this kid has any problems or not, our deal cannot tolerate any potential risks."

"Arrange for him to become a troublemaker, and let him die at the hands of that troublemaker without anyone noticing. Even if the higher-ups want to ask questions, they won't be able to find out anything."

At this point, Chen Duo turned to look at Wu Er.

"You handle this personally."

Upon hearing Chen Duo's instructions, Wu Er hurriedly bowed and nodded.

"Rest assured, Sir, I will handle this perfectly."

As he spoke, Wu Er seemed to remember something.

"My lord, if that kid's lucky..."

Chen Duo's tone was cold.

"Then arrange for him to be someone whose life is not of great importance."

"Alright! I'll arrange it right away!"

……

As Su Wu left the main hall and returned to the door of his own dormitory, his expression darkened.

"Testing me?"

Chen Duo had just clearly tested me.

Fortunately, she was prepared and had the experience of living two lives, which allowed her to fool Chen Duo.

At least it didn't give Chen Duo an excuse to openly attack him in the Demon Prison.

But Su Wu knew in his heart that this matter was not over.

"Chen Duo cares so much about this matter that he even went so far as to personally test me."

"Then the hidden story behind this must be even bigger."

"Whether I know the truth or not, whether I deduce anything or not, there is danger."

Although he knew it was dangerous, he was currently working under someone else, so he could only take it one step at a time.

"As long as he doesn't have a reason to openly attack me, there's still room for maneuver."

Thinking of this, Su Wu breathed a long sigh of relief and pushed open the dormitory door.

"Young Su, you're back?"

Seeing Su Wu return, Liu Dashan, who was tidying his clothes, turned around with a smile and asked with concern.

"How was it? That guy surnamed Chen didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

Faced with Liu Dashan's concern, Su Wu forced a smile.

"Uncle Liu wasn't there; he just asked me some details about yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dashan approached, peered around the dormitory, locked the door from the inside, and looked at Su Wu with a tense expression.

"Su boy, what did you say?"

Su Wu did not hide anything and told Liu Dashan everything about his conversation with Chen Duo.

After listening, Liu Dashan's tense expression finally relaxed.

"Luckily, you reacted quickly and didn't reveal your deduction from yesterday."

"Otherwise, that guy surnamed Chen might do something to you."

"Not bad, you hid your skills very well today."

At this point, Liu Dashan reached out and patted Su Wu on the shoulder.

"Alright, you've managed to fool the Chen guy too."

"Change your clothes now and come with me to change your duty."

"I've got your back today, I'll be by your side every step of the way!"

However, before Liu Dashan could finish speaking, there was a knock on their dormitory door.

"Who is it!" Liu Dashan opened the door impatiently upon hearing the voice.

Then I saw Wu Er's familiar face.

"Wu, the clerk?"

Upon seeing Wu Er arrive, Liu Dashan's brows furrowed slightly.

"The clerk has come with instructions?"

"There is something, but it's not about you." In response to Liu Dashan's question, Wu Er looked in Su Wu's direction with a smile.

"Su Wu, there's a prisoner here who needs your help."
