Chapter 2398: Which Party Had Been Schemed? (7)
Guardian Jin wanted to end Yun Qingluo, but he had to obey the Devil King’s order. There must be a bigger plan that he was not seeing. But what was the Devil King planning on to do? Guardian Jin could not figure it out though he knew that keeping her alive was more than just to interrogate her.
For someone who was as careful as Yun Qingluo, it would be difficult to make her speak the truth. Furthermore, keeping her alive would make things complicated for the group as she was sure to have more evil schemes. Hence, for now, all he could do was to keep his eyes on her and make sure she did not have any opportunity to do something to sabotage them.

Di Fuyi took a walk around the bamboo house and found a place to sit outside. Zhu Duqing designed the house to be rather uninviting as he did not want her to be interrupted. Hence, there were no doors or windows.
According to Zhu Duqing, Gu Xijiu could only leave the house when the alchemy was complete to make sure that there was no disruption while she was working. It was not an easy task to get the guiding herb, so Di Fuyi was very anxious about the result as well. He wanted to help her, but he dared not interrupt at this moment.
The journey had been exhausting for him, so he closed his eyes to meditate for a moment. In fact, his body was aching from the journey.
Di Fuyi was not keeping Yun Qingluo alive simply because he felt indebted to her. In fact, he had already repaid her more than she deserved. It was Yun Qingluo, who was indebted to him for his kindness. Yet, he could somehow tell that killing Yun Qingluo was unwise at the moment, and would probably initiate a series of unfortunate events. Yun Qingluo seemed too desperate to die.
