Hua Ruxue quickly followed Su Yi to Qingyu Pavilion, and was catching up with Elder Su Jing interrogating Su Ye.
Elder Su Jing asked: "Whose hands did the newly planted lilacs under the window in your yard pass through?"
The elders should have understood the connection between the sound transmission runes and the spirit gathering array, so Su Huairou was not among the elders who were interrogated.
"Back to the elder, besides me, there is also Su Yin."
"Why did she place the spirit-gathering arrays on the tree?"
"In order for Ding Xiang to survive." Su Ye lowered his head, his expression unreadable.
Elder Su Jing frowned, tapping his fingers on the table irritably, "Okay, you can go out."
After Su Ye left, Hua Ruxue followed Su Yi into the dark room.
When Elder Su Jing saw the person coming, he immediately put down the list in his hand and postponed the interrogation. He stood up and was about to salute when Su Yi stopped him.
"Elder Su Jing, there is no need to be polite. How is the situation?"
"Back to Young Master, there are forty-nine sound transmission runes in Luoying Valley and twenty-six in the disciple courtyard. These runes are hidden in the spirit gathering array in an extremely concealed way, and these spirit gathering arrays were all created by Elder Su Huairou. hand."
Although these spirit gathering arrays were distributed to each disciple's courtyard through Su Yin's hands, the sound transmission runes could only be carved by a seventh-level rune master, and she, a young disciple in the Qi training stage, simply could not complete them.
Therefore, the person with the greatest suspicion is Su Huairou.
Elder Su Jing couldn't help but shed a cold sweat for Su Huairou, and said: "Elder Su Huairou has always respected his duties and would not do anything that would endanger the family. There must be some misunderstanding in this."
There was a trace of doubt in Su Yi's gentle eyes, as if he didn't understand why Elder Su Jing was so nervous, as if Elder Su Huairou had been tortured.
He put away the doubts in his eyes and asked with concern: "The only people who have come into contact with the Spirit Gathering Array are Elder Su Huairou and Su Yin. Su Yin is missing. Where is Elder Su Huairou?"
Elder Su Jing looked surprised when he heard this. He glanced around, and when he saw no one there, he whispered: "Young Master, don't you know?"
"Elder, please elaborate."
"Elder Su Huairou has been brought back to Changxia Valley by the family master. Judging from the family master's attitude, it seems that Elder Su Huairou is the one who set up the sound transmission rune to disturb the people in Luoying Valley, and ordered us to close the case within one day."
The case was closed so hastily, as if to hide something.
Elder Su Jing looked anxious. He looked up at Su Yi and then at Hua Ruxue, and hesitated several times.
Seeing this situation, Hua Ruxue turned around and left the room without waiting for Su Yi's instructions. He wanted to say something that outsiders should not listen to.
"Little Shitou, listen to what they are saying."
Soon, the scene in the house was transmitted to the sea of souls.
Su Yi looked back with trust, "If the elder is more trustworthy than the junior, you might as well speak up."
Elder Su Jing was heartbroken and said: "There are some things that the young master doesn't know, and I can't say more. Before the beast tide last year, the head of the family met Su Huairou alone, and the two had an argument for some unknown reason. She lost her after the beast tide. For the same thing, the head of the family is even more dissatisfied with her, and the appearance of the transmission symbols has touched the bottom line of the head of the house, and she will definitely not have a good time this time."
Su Yi immediately understood the stakes. Even without the sound transmission rune, Elder Su Huairou would not be in trouble this time. I wonder what the conflict between the two is. The materials needed to make the demon protection bracelet were in short supply recently, and he was too busy looking for substitutes to pay attention to such things.
"Elder Su Huairou is an upright and selfless person. I will do my best to find the real culprit and clear the elder's suspicion."
"Young Master is kind-hearted. If you can find me useful, just give me your orders."
After a while, Su Yi came out of the room with the list of disciples. He saw Hua Ruxue standing by and watching her with sword-like eyes and a stern face as if facing a formidable enemy. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Unexpectedly, This time she waited quietly without running around.
Seeing Su Yi come out, Hua Ruxue reached out to him and said: "Keep the door for a quarter of an hour, five spiritual stones."
Su Yi frowned, not knowing from whom she learned this ability to make money out of nothing, so she could only promise softly, "I'll give it to you next time."
Then he handed the roster in his hand to Hua Ruxue, and the two found a secluded place to sit down.
Su Yi looked at her serious look and couldn't bear to disturb her. It wasn't until she put down the list and frowned that she asked, "What did you find?"
Before she could speak, he told her all about the conversation he had just had with Elder Su Jing.
When Hua Ruxue heard this, she couldn't help but think about how much Su Yi trusted her, and could she tell him directly: Su Yin is in Hongzhuang Pavilion, and her mother is also there.
Unfortunately, this is not possible. Telling the news directly will only arouse unfounded suspicion.
Su Yin's intention of placing the sound transmission rune, Su Yue's death, and the conflict between Elder Su Huairou and the head of the family, these three seemed to be somehow related.
Previously, she concluded that the runes were from Su Yin because of the pear blossom hairpin, but now that the runes on the pear blossom hairpin have disappeared, she cannot use it to prove Elder Su Huairou's innocence.
Hua Ruxue cast her eyes on the disciple list and said what she discovered: "The disciples with sound transmission runes in the courtyard all have one characteristic: they have a close relationship with their direct disciples."
Especially Su Yi, Su He. It can be said that these runes are directed at them.
"Who do you think is more suspicious in this matter?" Su Yi asked again.
Hua Ruxue replied without hesitation: "As Elder Su Jing said, if it was Elder Su Huairou who had a disagreement with the head of the family over something and deliberately used the Spirit Gathering Array to place so many sound transmission runes, it would be like this It seems unreasonable to spend so much time just to collect the wrong words and deeds of direct disciples, or to find out information."
"I heard that sound transmission runes have mother talismans. As long as the supply of spiritual power is suspended, the runes will temporarily disappear. If Elder Su Huairou has a mother talisman in her hand, why not secretly suspend the supply of spiritual power when she returns to the valley? Instead, she will Tell everyone about the existence of the runes?”
Su Yi nodded in agreement and motioned for Hua Ruxue to continue.
"Su Yin is close to Elder Su Huairou. She may know about the conflict between the elder and the head of the family."
This can be confirmed from the day Su Yue mentioned that Su Yin had a very good relationship with Elder Su Huairou's contract beast Si Yun.
Moreover, Su Yin is skeptical about the cause of Si Yun's death. She does not believe that Si Yun died from the beast wave. In this case, she will become hostile to Elder Su Huairou.
"Su Yin relied on the trust of Elder Su Huairou to get the opportunity to distribute the spirit gathering array disks to all the disciples. With the right to distribute, she could distribute the formation disks with sound transmission runes prepared in advance to Su Ye Waiting for someone.”
"She has two choices today. One is to stop the spiritual power supply of the Mother Talisman and continue to hide it for future use. The other is to let the matter ferment as it is now and put the blame on Elder Su Huairou."
Hearing this, Su Yi rejected the second option. He said: "If it is Su Yin, she must have the support of other people behind her. It is not worth the loss to waste so much effort on framing an elder who has no real power."
"Yes, so her choice was the first one. She wanted to stop the spiritual power supply of the mother talisman, but an accident occurred and she was unable to do so. And this accident was related to Su Yue's death."
Su Yi's eyes flashed with surprise, she was very smart.
He would often have a dream, in which there was a city inhabited by humans, demons, and gods. The owner of that city was a nine-tailed woman with the body of a fox and ears.
When he first saw Xuanying Hall, he seemed to be in a dream and saw a prosperous age where humans and monsters shared peace. So when he learned the news of her death, he was at a loss for a long time.
When he saw her again in Luoying Valley, he only felt sorry for her. He couldn't imagine how a half-human, half-demon child could survive in the fighting in the forest of beasts.
It was precisely because of her safe return that he firmly believed in the future shown in the dream, and became even more convinced that demons would one day be accepted by everyone. The persistence of the Qingyang Su family for 30,000 years was not wishful thinking.
He has been working hard for that day.
Regardless of whether she is the person he saw in his dream, he will do his best to keep her safe and help her grow.
Hua Ruxue didn't know what Su Yi was thinking. She lowered her head and pondered. Su Yin must have known something because she acted rashly now.
"Where do you think the mother talisman is?" Su Yi asked.
Hua Ruxue not only did not answer, but asked: "Su Yi, where is Hongzhuang Pavilion?"
Su Yi thought about it and told her: "If the female disciples in the valley are planning to hold a marriage ceremony, they can use this pavilion to decorate and get married here half a month in advance. There has been no happy event in the valley for a long time."
It turns out that Su Yin's recent depression was not because of Si Yun's death, but because she wanted to use this to give Su Yue the illusion that the wedding might be postponed.
In this way, Su Yue will not take the initiative to reveal the wedding date, and as long as Su Yin does not go to Hongzhuang Pavilion, others will not pay too much attention.
Hua Ruxue said: "The wedding date is half a month ahead of schedule on the sixth day of February, which is Gansi of the first lunar month. The day when the elders go to Changxia Valley is Ganwu of the first lunar month."
Su Yin could go to Hongzhuang Pavilion to set up the Mother Talisman and the Spirit Gathering Array one day in advance, which was plenty of time.
She had thought about it several times before and couldn't figure it out. Why did Su Yin choose to lay out so many sound transmission charms in these days? What's the use? Are you really asking for information?
But now, she vaguely understood.
"She wanted to make the information she had lurked for many years public on the sixth day of February. Maybe she didn't get the exact evidence, but such a large number of sound transmission runes are the most powerful evidence, and she took advantage of this to fabricate some half-truths and half-false information. , muddying the water.”
The entire Luoying Valley is within the range of the sound transmission rune. There are so many disciples and so many mouths. It is impossible to check and confirm them one by one in ten days and a half.
"Even if it is later proven that the truth is not the case, the bad reputation cannot be cleansed."
If there happened to be people from other families around at the time, they could even use this to create trouble, make a big fuss, and fish in troubled waters. The person behind Su Yin is most likely the Chang Ying Yun family.
The two looked at each other and understood Su Yin's intention.
But new questions followed one after another. What did Su Yin discover? Is it worth her putting all her efforts, laying out the plan at all costs, and announcing it at the wedding ceremony on the sixth day of February?
Perhaps we can only get the answer to this question from Su Yin after we meet her.
On the other side, Su Xia and others, with the dog demon, were still searching for Su Yue's whereabouts one by one.
At first, the dog demon said that the smell at the entrance of Luoying Valley was the strongest, and Su Yue must have passed through this place. However, after checking the records of entering and leaving Luoying Valley, they found that Su Yue had not left Luoying Valley.
Therefore, the group could only dig three feet into the ground to find it inch by inch.
