After talking with Lin Yourong, Tang Ye returned to the pavilion to see Lu Qingci. Tang Ye looked at Lu Qingci with a concerned and inquisitive expression. Lu Qingci shook her head at him, indicating that nothing was wrong, but her eyes could not hide her restlessness about the murder she had just committed. Tang Ye knew she didn't want to talk about these things in front of Lin Yourong, so he did not ask directly.
Night had fallen, and the three of them went back to the hotel to rest. Tang Ye found an opportunity to be alone with Lu Qingci and asked with concern, "Qing Ci, did something happen?"
No longer hiding it, Lu Qingci bluntly said, "I killed someone."
"Hmm?" Tang Ye frowned.
Lu Qingci explained, "Some people were trying to capture me, probably suspecting that I possess the identity of the Celestial Maiden. There were six of them. I killed one, and the others were killed by the people you arranged."
