The curled-up devil thought vaguely understood Yu Ziqing's intentions, trembling as it conveyed "understood."
The devil thought was like a dish, a dish for the hungry ghost.
At all tis, the hungry ghost was never picky about devil thoughts, without exceptions.
Now as long as Yu Ziqing nodded, Cece could imdiately devour the entire devil thought on the spot.
Currently picking through this dish, it was only because Cece was not hungry and rational, needing to choose.
She picked out the parts she found tasty, just like roasted at sprinkled with mountain pepper powder. The heaviest flavor was actually the aggressiveness within the devil thought, the intent to kill, the desire for destruction and devastation.
And this part was also what Cece found the most delicious.
As these parts were picked and munched as snacks, the power of the devil thought grew weaker and weaker, but the awareness within it beca clearer and clearer.
The clearer it beca, the more fearful it grew.
Yu Ziqing always maintained the right heat, like roasting crescent ribs; the at needed to be almost charred but not burned, the burnt aroma to co out, yet the crispy bones shouldn't be overcooked, maintaining a balance between the two.
Now preparing this devil thought was the sa.
You couldn't let it be too confused, only knowing to plead for rcy, rcy, rcy...
But you also couldn't let it be too clear-headed, or it could easily fabricate an entire story to fool you when asked.
As a foodie who used to be a chef, Yu Ziqing knew well how to control the heat best.
At the beginning, just ask so simple questions.
"Were you Ji Bochang's devil thought?"
"Did Ji Bochang fail in advancent because you took the opportunity to cause trouble?"
"Did Ji Bochang notice you?"
Simple yes or no questions could be answered.
It was similarly a way to test if this devil thought was honest or not.
Until he felt the temperature was just right, Yu Ziqing began to get to the main topic.
"Have you ever been to Almsgiving Town?"
"I have."
"Has Ji Bochang ever been to Almsgiving Town?"
"He has."
Yu Ziqing squinted slightly and continued to ask.
"Has Ji Bochang ever seen before?"
"He has."
"And what about you?"
"I have."
Yu Ziqing thought for a while and continued to ask.
"Was it during the day or at night?"
"During the day."
"Did Ji Bochang ever co to catch ?"
"No."
After a two-hour period, Yu Ziqing temporarily spared the trembling devil thought.
He knew the deterrent force was significant when he had cultivated to the Yin God Realm with the Hungry Ghost Dao against this small group of devil thoughts.
After asking in detail twice, Yu Ziqing roughly understood.
Ji Bochang did indeed co to Almsgiving Town, but it should have been during the day, when he t himself outside.
At that ti, at most, they brushed past each other on the street, and Ji Bochang might not even rember.
But the devil thought rembered.
It would rember every face Ji Bochang forgot, to destroy Ji Bochang's belief at critical monts, and then take the opportunity to seize the body, venting that massive aggressiveness and desire to destroy.
Yu Ziqing secretly sighed; either this still sowhat foolish devil thought could co up with answers that might fool him based on his logic,
or the person behind Ji Bochang's setup was extrely well-prepared.
During the ti he was captured, Ji Bochang happened to appear in Almsgiving Town.
Or rather, confirming Ji Bochang appeared made soone dare to quietly capture people at night.
Even if compelled to act, the clues left behind must match the abilities Ji Bochang possessed.
The preparation was indeed thorough.
Thorough to the point where, after interrogating the devil thought, Yu Ziqing didn't dare completely rule out Ji Bochang's suspicion.
Because it looked too much like him.
Apart from never having caught Yu Ziqing in the end, all other clues still pointed to Ji Bochang.
As long as the matter got exposed, as long as the investigation started, Ji Bochang would be dood for sure.
Even if he could talk with his whole body, he still couldn't explain it clearly.
Once this stirred up, to quell the matter, soone would have to die.
However, after Yu Ziqing ca back, he didn't plan to expose this matter.
Even Su Li would only investigate secretly.
More importantly, Yu Ziqing thought that the person who caught him at that ti probably never considered failing.
After pondering, Yu Ziqing pointed to that group of devil thoughts.
"Keep it first, don't eat it as a snack."
He prepared to keep the matter of the devil thought to himself, absolutely not revealing it.
The cultivators outside probably wouldn't think that, for all cultivators, devil thoughts were as avoidable as snakes and scorpions. To Yu Ziqing, devil thoughts would be prepared in this way.
After leaving the Despair Abyss, Yu Ziqing calculated the things to do in the near future.
Cultivation was the top priority, this went without saying.
As for Dali, Uncle Fu's invitation and Gu Tianxin's proposal to let Cece visit, these he wouldn't be going to for now.
At least wait until the magical treasures, the specialties of Jinlan Mountain, were spread out and everyone was used to them.
Wait until many of Dali's basic livelihoods started to transform due to the special magical treasures and then a new chain of interests was constructed.
When this magical treasure beca the core of many upper and lower streams industries,
then he would go to the Imperial City of Dali for a stroll and open a branch of the health club.
There were too many old monsters in the Imperial City of Dali, with the Lihuo Institute nearby, even more evildoers were there.
He was truly afraid of those old folks.
Because there was an old monster at ho as well.
Just thinking about old Yang, if such a guy stood on the opposite side, Yu Ziqing found it sowhat daunting.
The invitation from Dali was definitely not sothing he would attend.
Also, Dazhen had stabilized quite a bit recently; small conflicts continued, but things like a war with hundreds of thousands of troops had ceased.
