When he thought of the true identity of the courtesan revealed in the room on the fourth floor that day, Li Guanhai's soft heart felt as if it was wrapped in layers of ice, making it bone-chilling.

He decided to be a good man for once, a good man who could truly sit in peace and guard his body like a jade!

Facing his inquiry, Sinan opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

"Huh?" Li Guanhai noticed that her face was bruised and red, and her eyes were turning upwards, so he hurriedly let go.

It was so dangerous that he almost strangled this woman to death when he was distracted.

But it shouldn't be a big problem, she is not a living person.

The oiran lady gasped for air, coughed non-stop, and her saliva dripped onto Li Guanhai's palm.

"You haven't said it yet?" Li Guanhai frowned.

"...Si...ahem...Si Nan..."

Li Guanhai asked: "Who sent you here?"

Sinan was silent, her two small white hands still resting on Li Guanhai's wrist.

"Say." Li Guanhai exerted force on his palm again, but controlled the force so as not to make the other party unable to breathe.

"I don't know." Sinan hurriedly shook his head: "I was just following orders. As for who asked me to kill you, I really don't know."

Li Guanhai is good at observing words and expressions, and when he saw her look like this, he knew that she was not lying. She was just a chess piece placed by someone behind the scenes in Baihua Tower. She usually maintained her normalcy and would not return to her old job until she had a mission.

In addition to removing some stumbling blocks that may undermine the plan, she also has a very important task, which is to plunder the dragon energy.

Now that things have developed to this point, let's just be more direct.

With this in mind, Li Guanhai got straight to the point and said, "Who asked you to lurk in Baihua Tower."

Sinan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know why the other party knew that he was hiding in Baihua Building, but he was relieved immediately.

When she was an oiran at Baihua House, she often covered her face with a gauze, but occasionally she would reveal her true face when receiving distinguished guests and serving banquets, so it was not surprising that the other party knew about her.

It's just that today's mission came too suddenly and the time was too tight. As a result, I didn't put on a careful disguise before setting off. As a result, my identity was discovered now.

But having said that, even if you disguise yourself, it's useless, it will be the same if you fall into the hands of others.

She shook her head again: "I don't know. The mission I received is to lurk in Baihua Tower and use tricks to plunder the dragon energy of people in the royal family."

Li Guanhai stared into her eyes, "What about the dragon energy you took away? Did you keep it on your body or gave it to someone?"

Sinan bit her lower lip lightly and thought for a long time before replying: "Every time you take the dragon's energy, someone will come and take it away."

"How to contact?"

"The person who inspired the jade slip will come that night."

"When was the last time you plundered dragon energy?"

"Two days ago."

Li Guanhai frowned and looked at the terrifying Baihualou oiran with a strange look on his face: "Why do you just answer whatever I ask? I haven't even tortured you to extract a confession, and you've already recruited them all?"

Sinan smiled bitterly: "I'm just a small chess piece. I can't control my own destiny. I can only be manipulated by others. Now I'm in your hands. If you don't say anything, who knows what kind of tricks you will use." Means to torture me?"

She sighed and said calmly: "I'd rather just tell you everything I know. Even if I die, at least I won't have to suffer during my lifetime."

"You are quite an interesting woman." Li Guanhai looked at her strangely, and then asked: "What else do you know? Tell me everything. Maybe you won't be tortured and can survive."

Sinan shook his head and said that was all he knew.

Li Guanhai was immediately disappointed and fell silent.

Sinan waited for a while and saw that he was still deep in thought. The feeling of waiting for fate was extremely torturous. In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to speak: "Have you thought about it?"

"What are you thinking about?" Li Guanhai asked.

"This...of course it's a matter of killing me or letting me go. Otherwise, what were you thinking just now?" Sinan looked confused.

"I'm wondering which came first, the chicken or the egg." Li Guanhai made a random remark.

"Huh?" Sinan's mind was a little confused.

Li Guanhai waved his hand: "Okay, I don't have to kill you. Just like that woman, let go of Shenhai and let me plant the mark."

"That woman?" Sinan was a little curious.

Li Guanhai said in a deep voice: "It has nothing to do with you. As a prisoner, you must have the consciousness of being a prisoner. Stop asking if you shouldn't."

"Okay." Sinan nodded, then shook his head: "But your method may not work."

"Why?"

"Because long before I was sent to carry out this latent mission, a mark was planted in my divine sea. Otherwise, I would have left this place of right and wrong long ago. I don't want to be manipulated like a marionette by those ambitious guys all day long. ." Sinan's tone was filled with helplessness.

Li Guanhai said: "Why can't I erase the original mark and plant my mark again?"

Sinan said: "It's okay, but then the other party will notice it immediately and find me at all costs and kill me. Besides, that person has extremely high cultivation and great magical powers. He wants to erase him I’m afraid you can’t do it yet.”

Li Guanhai felt that he had been underestimated and offended.

He chuckled and said: "Even if the other party doesn't notice the erasure mark, when I appear in the martial arts arena, they will know that you failed the mission and become suspicious of you. Just in case, they will definitely get rid of you." You are a variable.”

Si Nan slapped her forehead with her fair jade hands, "Oh, I'm so confused that I can't even think of these simple things." She raised her head, staring at the young man in front of her with her black and white eyes, "Do you have any other ideas?"

Li Guanhai said: "I originally planned to quietly erase your mark and let you continue to lurk, while I faked my death to hide from their sight and disguised myself as another person to participate in the Seven Absolutes Competition. This will not affect my plan."

"But now I have changed my mind. No matter who I disguise myself as, as long as it threatens Shen Yuyu's road to winning the championship, I will be targeted, so it doesn't matter whether I get away or not."

The courtesan narrowed her beautiful eyes and stared at him closely, "You are really not the real Zhao Zi."

"Of course I am not." Li Guanhai raised the corner of his mouth, "If I were Zhao Zi, I would probably have crossed the Naihe Bridge by now."

"Who are you?" Si Nan's eyes were full of curiosity, very strong.

Li Guanhai glanced at her, "Why would a captive have so many questions? Stop talking nonsense and let go of Shenhai."

"Okay, but I want to remind you that the person who planted the mark on me has a very high level of cultivation. If you force it, not only will you be retaliated, but you will also kill me." Si Nan said casually, and her relaxed tone seemed to not care about her life at all.

She was right. Shenhai was a more fragile place than Qihai, and it was the real life gate of a cultivator.

If there was a slight mistake, the intelligence would be damaged, the soul would be lost, and the soul would be directly returned to the underworld.
