6049. Chapter 6049: Book of Life and Death 24
Li Mengjie was no stranger to this old man. It was he who had led people to hunt her down many times. Looking at Li Mengjie sitting on the stone bed, Yuan Hui smiled coldly and said, "Little girl, we meet again. I said before that you can't escape from our hands." Hearing this, Li Mengjie looked at him coldly and said nothing. Seeing this, Yuan Hui continued, "I know that the Book of Life and Death is in your hands. Hand it over, maybe I can let you go." Li Mengjie said coldly, "Everything I have is in your hands. Just find it yourself. Why ask me?" Yuan Hui sneered, "Little girl, I advise you to cooperate. This is good for you. If I'm not mistaken, you escaped from my hands that day, and you should have used the power of the Book of Life and Death, right?"
Li Mengjie replied, "I don't know what you are talking about." Yuan Hui frowned, and then said, "I heard from Zhong Yuyi that you repelled the army of the Yaoyuan Palace in Zhinan City with your own strength. It seems that you are also a person who cares about the people of the world." Hearing this, Li Mengjie looked at Yuan Hui, not knowing what he meant by this. While thinking, Yuan Hui said, "I'll let you meet someone. Then, you can decide whether to hand over the Book of Life and Death." After he finished speaking, he turned and left the stone chamber. Not long after he left, a little girl was sent to Li Mengjie. The little girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a pretty face, pigtails, and a pitiful look. Standing in front of Li Mengjie, the little girl looked scared, her head was always lowered, and she didn't dare to look at Li Mengjie directly. Li Mengjie was also very surprised about this little girl. She didn't know why Yuan Hui sent this strange little girl here. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "What's your name?" The little girl clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, looked at Li Mengjie fearfully, and whispered, "My name is Leng Wanwan."
Li Mengjie asked, "What's your relationship with Chongyun Palace?" Leng Wanwan answered honestly, "I have nothing to do with them." Hearing her say this, Li Mengjie couldn't help but wonder, "Then why did they call you here?" Leng Wanwan seemed to remember something sad, and tears flowed out. She sobbed softly, wiping her tears and said, "They arrested my mother." Li Mengjie was stunned and said, "Your mother? Who is she?" Leng Wanwan cried, "Her name is Ji Yunyan, big sister, do you think she is my mother?" Li Mengjie replied, "I have never seen your mother." After a pause, she continued to ask, "Why did they call you here?" Leng Wanwan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "They said that if you don't hand over that thing, they will kill me and my mother. Big sister, please, save us." Hearing this, Li Mengjie's heart sank. She finally understood what Yuan Hui meant when he left. He actually used such a despicable method to threaten her. However, she had to say that Yuan Hui's approach did hit her soft spot. She was not a cold-blooded and cruel person, and she would not watch innocent people die for her.
Looking at Leng Wanwan, who was in tears, Li Mengjie sighed secretly, feeling helpless. However, she was still unsure whether Leng Wanwan was deliberately arranged by Chongyun Hall to confuse her. While she was thinking, she heard Yuan Hui's voice suddenly coming from outside the stone chamber: "Are you wondering why our Chongyun Hall knows the secret of the Book of Life and Death?"
