The situation at Chen Yun's place was completely in line with Ma En's expectations. The formation sent by the church could ensure that the federation would not try to use Chen Yun to deal with itself in the future, so that it would not have any weaknesses.
With this idea in mind, Ma En also began to calm down and study how to steal the spiritual treasure. Although Xiaoyao was a particularly strong monk, it was still relatively possible to do this.
After all, what he wants to do is not to fight him head-on, but to steal the spiritual treasure.
After slowly thinking about it, Ma En had several pretty good ideas in his mind. Some had higher success rates and higher risks, some had slightly lower risks but required longer preparations, and some were almost There is no risk but the possibility of success is relatively low.
In the end, he chose one that required more preparation. The risk was not particularly high, and it could be done with enough patience. It was said to take a long time, but in fact it only took about a month.
But just as he and other Control Bureau employees were preparing their plans in full swing, they suddenly learned a particularly bad piece of bad news.
Ma En knocked on the door:
"May I come inside?"
The girl in the house said:
"You are my brother, you don't need to be so polite to me."
Ma En opened the door and walked in:
"Sorry, I don't quite remember how to get along with you."
And even if he remembers the past, getting along with You Yue as brother and sister was more than ten years ago, and You Yue said this as if that time happened yesterday.
"You make me uncomfortable with this." The demon girl crossed her legs and said, "When you talk like this, I always feel like my brother has been replaced by something, although the truth is actually similar."
Ma En sat down opposite her as naturally as possible. Although Long Qin was just an acquaintance to him mentally, his body seemed to still have some traces of the past, and he felt a little relaxed.
"I have something to ask you." Ma En thought about what to say.
You Yue asked curiously:
"Does it have anything to do with why I was asked to stay here?"
Ma En nodded:
"I had some minor conflicts with the federation recently, so I asked you to come here to prevent them from finding you. But now it seems that my original worries were not wrong. They said they got something that can determine your life or death."
After hearing this, You Yue's eyes widened and she said in disbelief:
"How can it be?"
Ma En asked:
"So that's what they're claiming, I don't think they're bluffing.
"Do you have any leverage on anyone else?"
You Yue still doesn’t want to believe it:
"Yes, my soul is in the hands of the Mother of Dragons, but she will never trade the souls of her men. Neither outsiders nor our own people can get the souls in her hands.
"In the past, there was a demon who was about to break through to Level V and gave up all his rewards except his life in order to gain freedom. There was also a great demon who wanted to replace the soul of his enemy with an abnormal entity of Level V.
“But the Dragon Mother rejected them all, which is why many demons choose to join her.
"We don't need to worry about being betrayed, at least that's how it should be."
Ma En asked:
"Does joining the Dragon Mother require you to hand over your soul?"
You Yue said as if she was amused:
"Otherwise, to be precise, joining the subordinates of any big demon requires you to hand over your soul. If I hadn't sold my soul early, I might have died a few months before entering hell.
"Among the countless things I sold to survive, this transaction is relatively worth it.
"Or that's how I felt before. It's a bit ridiculous to say that, although I also know that the Federation may be telling the truth, I still can't believe that she would sell my soul.
"But I don't seem to have any better way besides trusting their 'integrity'. After all, I can't expect such a devil to sign a contract with me in hell."
Seeing You Yue's gradually losing expression, Ma En was basically certain that the Federation had indeed obtained the contract of You Yue's soul. In fact, her view of the Dragon Mother was not necessarily wrong.
But in the face of this terrifying black hand and the federation who want to deal with her, no matter how unwilling the mother of dragons is to hand over You Yue's soul, she may not be able to remain sincere despite the temptation of complete strength and interests.
It was an offensive without any blind spots. If he hadn't been able to hide in the control bureau, he would have died dozens of times facing such a dangerous character. The world was still so dangerous to him.
Ma En raised his hand to hold his forehead and sighed slightly:
"That would be terrible. The Federation must have obtained your soul contract somehow."
What is in front of him is almost a dead end, and there is no particularly stable solution. And even if he can overcome the difficulties in front of him, he doesn't know what the mastermind behind the scenes will do next.
After You Yue was silent for a moment, she seemed to have thought of something and said:
"Actually, the matter is not as serious as you think. In fact, I have a solution."
Ma En raised his head and looked at her:
"What?"
You Yue paused and said:
"You can just ignore their request. Anyway, I died more than ten years ago, and you personally avenged me. I can die for you regardless of circumstances.
"This is because they used my mistakes against you. You don't need to take risks for me. Although you may not remember it, I still regard you as my brother. I am not afraid of dying for you again.
"And since you don't remember me, you won't remember me even if I die..."
"Stop talking!" Ma En suddenly interrupted in a cold voice. Even after he finished saying this, he slowly realized that he had spoken. Even rationally, he wanted to hear You Yue finish. If so, then refuse.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until this moment to speak.
You Yue suddenly looked at him in surprise:
"Marn? You..."
Ma En did not answer immediately, but carefully felt the sudden anger slowly subside, as if he from the past conveyed the emotion to himself across time.
Yes, when You Yue said this, he felt strong anger. Although his own emotional feelings were against what she said, it was probably far from this level.
He didn't feel anything when he followed Chen Yun to search for memories before, but when You Yue, whom he really cared about before, was in danger, his memory seemed to have finally loosened up a little.
Sure enough, it was because the stimulation I received at that time was not strong enough.
If you think so, at least there is one good thing in this predicament.
After his anger finally dissipated, Ma En was ready to answer You Yue's questions.
He looked at the girl with gentle eyes:
"I did feel a little bit about my past self, but it was fleeting and it didn't really blow away the mist that separated me from the past, but that's not the point now.
"I know you are thinking about me, but you don't have to think so much, and don't say such things. This situation is just a little tricky for me, and it doesn't really threaten my life.
"I'll take care of everything."
It just requires him to take a few steps back.
