Realm of the Night God

Chapter 681: That Aspect of Ability

Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xue were indeed correct in their guess. Yang Haoran's words were meant to shirk responsibility.

Now that the person was dead, and their soul was in his hands, only a few people knew about this, including them. Even if Fair Young Man's parents found out about Lecheng, what could they do?

However, to be on the safe side, Yang Haoran still had some questions to ask Ye Zhiqiu to clarify, so he could make a better plan.

"Did anyone else know about your meeting with the two of them?" Yang Haoran asked.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't even think about it and directly shook his head.

"We met in the mountains and then searched for the two great demons. We didn't contact anyone outside until we sensed the battle between you and the demons, and then we came here directly. We didn't interact with anyone during that time."

Yang Haoran smiled and nodded, his smile growing thicker. Then, he asked another question.

"Did the two of them use any special means to contact the outside world after meeting with you?"

Ye Zhiqiu thought for a moment and then lightly shook his head again.

"No, at least not in front of me. As for whether they did it behind my back, I'm not sure."Ye Zhiqiu's answer was somewhat vague, but Yang Haoran was already very satisfied.

"Why don't I just quit the Demon Hunter Association? My original goal for joining the association was to gather more information to find my wife. Now that I've found her, there's no point in staying. It's better to quit and be free."

After thinking for a moment, Ye Zhiqiu spoke up.

"If you choose to quit the Demon Hunter Association now, do you think Fair Young Man's parents will suspect anything?"

Yang Haoran's reminder made Ye Zhiqiu react immediately.

"I think the best approach is to stay put. If Fair Young Man's parents come to Lecheng to investigate her death, they'll definitely look for you. At that time, you can just say you didn't see those two people."

Ye Zhiqiu's hand movement paused, and he put down the wine jug, looking at Yang Haoran.

"Will this work?"

Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's skepticism, Yang Haoran smiled and explained.

"There's no evidence, and no one saw you interact with the two. How can it not work?"

Yang Haoran countered, and Ye Zhiqiu's eyebrows slightly furrowed. He took a sip of wine, thinking carefully, and Yang Haoran's words did make sense.

"If you're still not at ease, you can avoid them directly and make them think you're dead. They won't be able to do anything then."

Yang Haoran smiled and added after a brief pause.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. When the time comes, I'll handle it. Since I'm the one who killed them, it has nothing to do with you."

Ye Zhiqiu took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and then spoke calmly.

"I'm not worried about myself; I'm worried about you. Since you're so confident, that's for the best."

Bai Xue, who had been silent until now, spoke up after hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words.

"You don't believe in Underworld Envoy big brother because you've never seen his abilities in this aspect. I've seen them, so I absolutely believe in Underworld Envoy big brother's abilities."

Bai Xue smiled sweetly, and Ye Zhiqiu raised an eyebrow, asking calmly.

"Which aspect of ability?"

His question made not only Bai Xue but also Yang Haoran pause. Bai Xue's face remained unchanged, and she replied.

"You think it's which aspect of ability, then it's that aspect of ability."

Yang Haoran saw that the situation was not going well and awkwardly coughed twice, quickly stopping the conversation. If Ye Zhiqiu responded again, he didn't know what Bai Xue would say next.

"Not to mention that this is a matter of creating something out of nothing, just saying that there's a kid like Xiaokang here, and this kind of joke can't be made.

"Heh heh, look how scared you are, a upright person doesn't fear a crooked shadow, Underworld Envoy big brother, what's embarrassing you?"

Bai Xue asked with a flirtatious smile, her gaze fixed on Yang Haoran, as if trying to read something from his expression.

"What's embarrassing? There's a kid here, what's embarrassing about that? From now on, with Xiaokang around, no speeding, not even lighting a fire is allowed."

Yang Haoran responded with a bitter smile, Xiaokang looked puzzled, not understanding why he was being dragged into this, and he finally spoke up.

"Uncle Yang, what's the ability that Bai Xue sister and Ye uncle were talking about?"

Xiaokang asked seriously, and Ye Zhiqiu, who had just taken a sip of strong liquor, spat it out immediately upon hearing Xiaokang's question.

Bai Xue covered her mouth with her hand, laughing so hard she was bent over, Yang Haoran's smile froze, and his mouth twitched slightly.

Xiaokang, who had asked the question, was initially full of doubts, but seeing Bai Xue laugh so happily, he was infected and started laughing foolishly along with her.

"Heh heh... what's wrong with you guys?"

Xiaokang looked at Bai Xue, then at Ye Zhiqiu, and finally at Yang Haoran, hoping to get an answer from one of them, but none of them gave him an explanation.

"Heh heh, this question... I don't really understand it myself, it's all... it's all hearsay, so I don't know how to explain it to you. But... heh heh... I believe you'll find your own answer later."

Bai Xue laughed and explained to Xiaokang, speaking in a stuttering tone, and eventually, she couldn't hold back her laughter and buried her head in her arms, laughing uncontrollably.

Xiaokang didn't understand anything, but Bai Xue said so, and he still nodded, continuing to laugh foolishly.

"That... I have some things to take care of, so I'll go out for a bit, you guys do as you please."

Yang Haoran spoke with an embarrassed expression, preparing to leave the study room, but Bai Xue, still holding back her laughter, raised her head.

"Wait... wait, I have another question."

Yang Haoran looked at Bai Xue, seeing her expression, which was particularly amusing, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

He shouldn't have laughed, because Bai Xue's laughter, which she had been holding back, burst out again.

After a while, Bai Xue finally managed to control her laughter and continued to ask Yang Haoran.

"Earlier, I saw you in the barrier, seemingly making a deal with that effeminate guy, and you even accepted the demonic pill he offered. How did you end up killing him?"

Bai Xue's question wasn't just out of her own curiosity, but also Ye Zhiqiu's.

"I didn't kill him, but if I hadn't, you would have suffered a fate worse than death, because he had already set his sights on you. Once you fell into his hands, you would have become his plaything or a gift to be sent out. Those five demonic pills were his way of asking me to take action, targeting you. It's just that I'm a person without morals, I took the benefit and immediately killed him, using a sneak attack."

As soon as Yang Haoran finished speaking, Bai Xue's smile faded, and her eyes turned cold, with a hint of killing intent. Even Ye Zhiqiu, who was drinking, turned pale.

Bai Xue's expression changed because she hadn't expected the Fair Young Man to have such intentions towards her. She had initially thought that the Fair Young Man had said something to offend Yang Haoran, leading to his demise, but it turned out that he wanted to capture her as a plaything, and she couldn't help but be furious.

As for Ye Zhiqiu's expression, it wasn't because of Bai Xue, but because of his wife, Red Lotus, who had experienced something similar in the past and ultimately lost her life, so his expression naturally wasn't good.

"This damn effeminate guy, I didn't provoke him, and he dared to plot against me. It's a good thing I killed him, or it would have been even more troublesome."

Bai Xue said, her face filled with anger.

"If you don't want to be caught by a demon hunter with ulterior motives one day, you must remember my words, and wear a mask when you go out. But this time, it's not your fault, since it came too suddenly."

As soon as Yang Haoran finished speaking, he took out the five great demon's demonic pills from his independent space.
