Chapter 148 [Vengeance] (7200)
Chen Yan "interrogated" the Wooden Bowl.
To say it was an interrogation isn't quite accurate, because Chen Yan wasn't particularly inclined to be harsh on this female monster who had once let him off the hook.
Moreover, the Wooden Bowl didn't really require interrogation... She wasn't very smart, quite silly and naive. Basically, whatever Chen Yan asked, she answered.
The Wooden Bowl told Chen Yan the reason she was in the forest was simple: she had been exiled from the village.
This was a severe punishment.
Because of Chen Yan's escape—more accurately, because Chen Yan and Du Li escaped together—and most critically, because Du Li used a Flying Sword during the escape!
This changed its nature completely.
From a simple instance of slave escape to an enemy infiltration event.
A slave entering the village with a Flying Sword isn't a slave, but an enemy scout, a recon…
And since Chen Yan escaped with Du Li, he too was certainly considered as one.
