is tofu myself!""However... Brother Zhao is right. I do intend to sell the medicinal water. In the next period of time, tofu probably won't be in short supply on the market, so I suggest Brother Zhao...When Ziyi and Qingyi returned to Yang Lin's side, Yang Lin was lying on the ground looking utterly dejected.

Just now, he tried to run away, but he couldn't muster the strength at all. He couldn't even crawl, so he had to give up.

Whatever, fate will decide!

Ziyi stepped forward: "Young Master Yang, as long as you honestly answer our questions, we won't make things difficult for you."

Qingyi opened her mouth: "Where is the person we are looking for"

Yang Lin simply closed his eyes and ignored it.

"Don't speak I advise you not to drink this toast, or you'll have to pay the penalty!" The woman in purple had a cold expression.

The woman in green spoke softly: “We’re only looking for someone. Tell us what you know, and we’ll naturally let you go. Otherwise, you might have a hard time!” The woman in purple is skilled at torture. Even the toughest person can’t withstand her methods.”

"I'll give you ten breaths," Zi Yi said coldly. "If you don't speak, I'll cut off one of your fingers for every breath that passes. After all ten fingers are gone, I'll move on to your toes. And when those are finished, I can dig out your eyes and slice off your ears!"

"Anything on your body that can be cut off, I will cut it off! I'll only leave your tongue so you can still speak!"

She said harshly, her violet clothes billowing as she drew a soft sword from her waist.

At this moment, Yang Lin was no longer calm.

Looking at Zi Yi's face, which was as cold as frost, Yang Lin hurriedly spoke up: "Miss Zi Yi, let's talk this over. Please don't just randomly chop people! If your fingers are chopped off, they won't grow back!"

"Besides, since you're looking for someone, you should at least tell me who it is and what your relationship to them is, right"

"These matters are none of your concern," Ziyi said coldly. "You only need to tell me the whereabouts of the person I'm looking for!"

There are still three breaths left.

Three.

"2."

Zi Yi carried the soft sword in her hand and approached Yang Lin's finger.

Yang Lin even felt the icy sword edge pressing against his flesh!

He shouted in alarm, “Hey hey hey! I do know where the person you’re looking for is! But if you dare to cut even a sliver of my skin! I guarantee that even if I die! I will absolutely not reveal a single word! If you have the guts, just hack me to death! You won’t be able to find out anything!”

Yang Lin gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.

By now, he had no other choice but to play mind games with the other party.

He squeezed his eyes shut and continued shouting, "Tell me first, are you friends or enemies with her If you're friends with her, then I'm friends with her too. A friend of a friend is still a friend. Since we're all friends, wouldn't it be wrong for you to cut off my finger"

Besides, in case you guys are enemies with her, I'm also enemies with her. Enemies of my enemy are my friends, so we're still friends, right

So no matter what, we're friends. Between friends, there's no such thing as chopping off fingers right from the start!!

Yang Lin spoke at a rapid pace, his voice hoarse and filled with anguish.

This is also precisely why he feels unsafe at all times in this world.

Anything can just put a knife or sword to my throat, it's freaking terrifying!

Purple and green were also stunned.

Yang Lin's theory that "a friend of a friend is a friend" and "an enemy of an enemy is a friend" left them momentarily unable to see things from another perspective.

Qing Yi whispered in Zi Yi's ear, "What he said does seem reasonable. What if he really is Your Majesty... what if he's a friend of our friends If we chop off his finger, that would be bad."

But what if he is an enemy of our 'friends'" Ziyi frowned.

"Just ask, won't you know" Qingyi said, kicking Yang Lin, and asked, "Hey, what's your relationship with the person we're looking for"

Yang Lin's heart skipped a beat.

Along the way as he was being taken, he kept thinking about this question.

Because I didn't know who the other person was, I couldn't just blurt out my relationship with Li Yuxiang.

If they're truly friends, that's fine. But if they're here to harm Li Yuyao, then speaking the truth will not only harm Li Yuyao but also other women, and leave herself with no way to protect herself!

Yang Lin knew very well that the other party was looking for Li Yunyao's whereabouts. As long as he didn't speak, the other party wouldn't kill him lightly.

"This... our relationship is complicated! Both of you, could you please let me sit down Let's talk this through slowly"

Yang Lin intended to stall for time. Just then, Zi Yi and Qing Yi both glanced at each other simultaneously.

Someone is here!

"Let's go!"

Although there was no sign of anyone in sight, the two men dragged Yang Lin without hesitation deep into the woods.

Before they had gone far, the two of them came to a halt, staring in astonishment at what lay ahead.

"Someone else is here, let's change directions!"

From a young age, they were given special training, which gave them hearing abilities beyond the ordinary.

They heard a heavy tread of footsteps approaching them in that direction.

So, they changed directions again.

This time, after only a few steps, he heard footsteps again.

Their faces changed dramatically.

Three directions, people are approaching.

This means...

They were surrounded

Both Ziyi and Qingyi were shocked by what they saw in each other's eyes.

I admire how they persevered throughout their journey, facing bandits several times but never being captured.

And now, this mere small village is actually surrounded

Meanwhile.

Outside the woods, Li Yuyao was directing the guards and villagers on both sides to tighten the encirclement.

"Be careful everyone, the other party's martial arts are very high. Don't startle them, hold steady and slowly surround them!"

The whole village of four or five hundred people conducted a dragnet search, combing every inch of land in this direction almost completely.

And in this direction, only this grove of trees is relatively secluded, capable of hiding people.

Therefore, Li Yuyao concluded that the other party was in the forest!

She didn't send people straight into the woods. Instead, she circled the perimeter of the small forest first, encircling it completely before gradually shrinking inwards.

Until...

"Found it!!"

At last, a villager spotted Ziyi and Qingyi, along with Yanglin who was being dragged by them!

The encirclement also quickly rushed in this direction, closing in.

"Charge!"

"Let Yang Lin go!"

The villagers shouted as they rushed over.

The purple-clad and green-clad figures within the encirclement, upon hearing the shouts, turned pale with fright.

Then they discovered that, like a surging tide, a crowd of people was pouring in from all directions!

There must be at least four or five hundred people!

Yang Lin, who had been held in the middle by them, finally let out a sigh of relief at this moment.

"Surrender! The power of the people is invincible!"

Yang Lin said with a smile.

At the forefront were thirty guards, armed with swords, spears, and seven crossbows. They surrounded the two men completely.

Then, villagers holding various farming tools surrounded them layer by layer.

A path was cleared in the crowd, and Li Yuy Yao, leading a group of women, each carrying a crossbow, walked in!rd of it."It's hard to explain, you'll see once it's cooked." Yang Lin said.Although he failed the first time, Yang Lin is confident that he will succeed after trying a few more times.The theory is so...
