Yuan Mu Ye looked at Chen Ning coldly. He hated people who didn't keep their word the most.

Chen Ning's expression froze instantly. He felt Yuan Mu Ye's anger, but he didn't intend to confess everything just like that.

Because he knew very well that Yuan Mu Ye was helping him because of Yuan Xiao Yao's birth mother.

If he confessed everything, Yuan Mu Ye might be the one to go back on his word.

"I don't know what the consequences will be, but it's impossible for me to just confess everything directly," Chen Ning said bluntly.

Some things had to be made clear.

Yuan Mu Ye frowned slightly. He wasn't stupid. How could he not know what the other person was thinking?

"Then what do you want in exchange for confessing?" Yuan Mu Ye asked straightforwardly.

Chen Ning said that, he must have other purposes. If he satisfied his other purposes, he might be willing to talk.

However, Yuan Mu Ye didn't have much hope, after all, people like Chen Ning were not easy to deal with.

"You have to promise me you won't kill me." Chen Ning said this right away.

He knew that Yuan Mu Ye wouldn't let him go easily, so what he had to do now was to leave here safely.

If that didn't work, he would just die together with him. In short, he would not let himself fall into the tiger's mouth.

Yuan Mu Ye looked at Chen Ning calmly and said, "Okay."

He wouldn't kill Chen Ning now, but that didn't mean he wouldn't kill him later.

Chen Ning was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Yuan Mu Ye to agree so readily. Could there be a trap in this?

"You agreed so readily?"

"What, do you want me to refuse?" Yuan Mu Ye responded coldly.

That seemed to be the case!

Chen Ning thought for a while, and originally wanted to make other requests, but in the end, he didn't say them. If he made too many requests, he would be the one in trouble.

"Alright, ask whatever you want to know!"

Yuan Mu Ye curled his lips. Wasn't that nonsense? He had already said what he wanted to know just now!

"Who kidnapped Li Qi Qi?"

"I'm not too sure who kidnapped Li Qi Qi, but I know what kind of people they are," Chen Ning replied.

Yuan Mu Ye felt a little strange, but he didn't say much. After further questioning, he learned that the people who kidnapped Li Qi Qi were a group of cultivators from Ji Le Ya (Land of Ultimate Bliss).

Those cultivators didn't seem to have ever left Ji Le Ya, nor did they ever interfere in human affairs. As for why they kidnapped Li Qi Qi, no one knew the reason.

This made Yuan Mu Ye even more confused. Since they were cultivators, why didn't they come down to help humanity overcome their difficulties in this world?

Or was it that, to those cultivators, the evil ghosts were not their concern, so they didn't care?

Yuan Mu Ye was just thinking about it, after all, he didn't know the real reason, so he didn't dare to make a conclusion.

"Is Li Qi Qi still alive?" This was what Yuan Mu Ye wanted to know the most right now.

When asked about this, Chen Ning seemed a little hesitant. After a long while, he finally responded, "She should be alive."

So much time had passed, and those cultivators hadn't killed Li Qi Qi yet, definitely because Li Qi Qi still had some value.

Otherwise, Yuan Mu Ye couldn't think of any other more reasonable explanation. It couldn't be because Li Qi Qi was an evil ghost, so they wanted to study her, right?

"Didn't you just say that you could take us to find her?" Yuan Mu Ye stared into Chen Ning's eyes and said.

Hearing this, Chen Ning suddenly panicked. He could indeed take Yuan Mu Ye there, but he didn't dare to actually enter Ji Le Ya. If he went in, whether he could come out safely was another matter.

Chen Ning looked at Yuan Mu Ye with a troubled expression and said, "I can take you to Ji Le Ya, but I don't dare to go in."

Although his current strength had reached the peak of Earth Grade Third Rank, compared to the cultivators inside Ji Le Ya, he was nothing but a small fry.

He definitely wouldn't dare to joke with his own life.

Yuan Mu Ye frowned slightly and said, "If it's just to get to Ji Le Ya, then do we still need you to lead the way?"

Hearing this, Chen Ning's expression changed. Of course he knew what Yuan Mu Ye meant.

But asking him to really take Yuan Mu Ye into Ji Le Ya required more than just courage.

"You're planning to go to Ji Le Ya?" Chen Ning asked tentatively.

Yuan Mu Ye glanced at him indifferently and said, "I'll go, but not now. The most important thing now is to get rid of you evil ghosts, so that Yun City won't suffer a devastating disaster."

Chen Ning wasn't stupid either. Yuan Mu Ye had already put it that way, so he definitely knew what he meant.

He was the boss of the evil ghosts, and Yuan Mu Ye would definitely target him first.

As the saying goes, capture the leader first in order to defeat the enemy.

"Even if you kill me today, you won't be able to stop this plan." Chen Ning's tone suddenly changed, as if he wasn't afraid of death.

Of course, Yuan Mu Ye knew that killing Chen Ning was useless, but it could at least have some impact on those evil ghosts.

After all, Chen Ning was their boss as of now.

"Since you're not afraid of death, then I'll grant your wish."

Yuan Mu Ye sneered and prepared to attack Chen Ning. Since he was useless, then there was no point in keeping him alive.

Just as he was about to attack, Chen Ning, whether out of fear or regret, suddenly said, "I can take you in, but I have a condition."

Yuan Mu Ye was a little surprised. If Chen Ning was really willing to take him into Ji Le Ya, then temporarily letting Chen Ning off the hook was not impossible.

"What condition?"

"I can't tell you now. I'll tell you when you're going to Ji Le Ya."

Chen Ning was obviously leaving a way out for himself.

Yuan Mu Ye looked at Chen Ning without speaking, wondering what tricks Chen Ning was playing.

He definitely wouldn't be able to go to Ji Le Ya for a while. When that day came, Chen Ning might have already led the evil ghosts to attack the city.

Thinking of this, Yuan Mu Ye gave up on the idea.

He didn't need to take this risk for an uncertain future.

Yuan Mu Ye looked at Chen Ning calmly and said, "Forget it, let's settle our affairs tonight!"

A look of surprise flashed across Chen Ning's face, obviously not expecting Yuan Mu Ye to say that.

"What do you mean by this? Are you going back on your word?"

"I don't want to either, but keeping you around is always a disaster. Don't blame me, blame yourself for appearing here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yan on the side couldn't help but say, "Deputy Director Yuan, why are you talking so much nonsense to him? Kill him!"

Jiang Yan wanted nothing more than for Chen Ning to die now.

Yuan Mu Ye looked at Jiang Yan coldly and said, "When did it become your turn to speak?"

"Negative emotion value from Jiang Yan +999!"

Although Jiang Yan shut up, her expression was extremely ugly.
