After realizing what she said in excitement, Xu quickly closed her mouth.
But it's too late.
Xu was silent, and then silent again.
Xu Qiuqian and Ying Liangzhi smiled and then smiled.
"Uh, did I say something I shouldn't have said?"
"What do you think?"
Originally, I just planned to talk and see if I could swindle something, but who knew that they could swindle him out so easily.
Mrs. Xu lives alone in this remote little courtyard and doesn't go out much, but she knows about the recent affairs of the Ying family.
"Where did you know about this?" Ying Liangzhi calmed down and asked coldly.
"I, I don't know, I really don't know!"
Even though Mrs. Xu had already spilled the beans, she still gritted her teeth and refused to reveal a word.
"You don't know? It's a joke. If you don't know, how do you know that the monster has a third level?"
Xu was silent.
Seeing this, Ying Liangzhi frowned deeply.
what to do?
Mrs. Xu looked like she refused to cooperate.
At this time, Xu Qiuqian said: "Chief Ying, what are you doing? My aunt already said she doesn't know why you are embarrassing her?"
Ying Liangzhi was stunned and looked at Xu Qiuqian, only to see the latter walking towards Xu and tapping her shoulder.
"Aunt, Patriarch Ying didn't scare you, right? I'm sorry, I really didn't know he would be so cruel to you. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought him here."
Mrs. Xu: "..."
Listen to what you say, are you sure you are really just a disciple of a foreign race?
However, no matter how much she complained in her heart, she didn't show any signs of it, and only looked at Xu Qiuqian cautiously.
Xu Qiuqian smiled slightly.
"Since Auntie doesn't want to say anything, then forget it."
"Really?" Xu clearly didn't believe it.
These two people came together, so it was obvious that they were in the same group.
"Of course, but can Auntie tell me what's in those two rooms that block spiritual consciousness?"
A look of panic appeared on Xu's face.
"W-nothing."
"Since there is no such thing, why use spiritual consciousness to block it?"
"I don't know either. Okay, since you don't want to drink tea, just leave."
"Don't worry, since Auntie doesn't know, how about I go and help Auntie take a look?"
Xu Qiuqian said and walked towards one of the rooms.
"I don't even agree, you can't go!" Mrs. Xu said quickly.
Xu Qiuqian refused to listen and continued walking forward.
"If you dare to open the door, I will tell Fourth Master!" Mrs. Xu sternly scolded.
As expected, the Xu family was connected with Ying Tiancheng.
It should be said that they were still in contact until recently.
This is strange.
Even if Ying Tiancheng relied heavily on Ying Zhen, he would not still have secret contact with Xu after Ying Zhen left.
The suspicion in my heart resurfaced again.
This time, it's not groundless.
Seeing that Xu Qiuqian didn't stop when she heard Ying Tiancheng's name, Xu's eyes were sharp and she wanted to take action.
Ying Liangzhi was well prepared and restrained Xu. A sound insulation note was slapped on Xu's body. Xu's voice was immediately silenced. Not only was there no sound, there was no sound of struggling.
Xu Qiuqian walked to the door on the left and opened it.
Well, it's pretty empty.
Then he walked towards the door on the right, and when he opened it, he found...it was still empty!
She frowned and then turned to look at Xu.
Xu was still struggling, but she didn't look too panicked.
Looking at the empty room, her mind couldn't help but think of what happened when she found the Star Eclipse Beast on Hong'an Street.
"Bring her here."
Ying Liangzhi responded and led Xu closer.
Xu Qiuqian told Ying Liangzhi about finding the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast, and observed Xu's expression while talking.
"So you think it's very possible that one of the two rooms has an underground room just like that room?"
"right."
After saying that, he saw Xu's eyes drifting.
Xu Qiuqian raised her eyebrows.
Guessed it.
"Which room is that?"
"Aunt, can you tell me which room it is?" Xu Qiuqian asked with a smile.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Zhen'er went out to practice two years ago. How can he be here!"
Xu Qiuqian just pretended not to hear.
She pointed to the one on the left: "Is this the one?"
Pointing to the right again: "Or this one?"
When he pointed to the room on the right, he saw Xu subconsciously lowering his eyes to avoid her probing gaze.
It seems to be the one on the right.
Walking in, I tapped the ground with my finger, and soon it was hollow.
Xu Qiuqian took out his Qianyuan pen and drew a hammer on the spot. He took out the hammer and smashed it into the hollow. A ladder leading down appeared in front of him.
"What is this?" Ying Liangzhi asked curiously.
"My magic weapon." She put away the Qianyuan pen and climbed down the ladder.
Ying Liangzhi was still thinking about the magical weapon that Xu Qiuqian took out just now.
After a while, Xu Qiuqian came up and looked at Xu who was struggling desperately, with a complicated look on her face.
"Let her go."
"Let go?"
"Um."
Ying Liangzhi let go of Xu, who rushed into the room and into the basement.
"how?"
"Ying Zhen is dead."
Ying Liangzhi was stunned.
Ying Zhen is dead?
what happened?
At this time, Xu's wailing sound came from below.
"Let's go down and have a look together."
When the two of them went down, they saw Ying Zhen's eyes widening on the stone bed, as if he had seen some shocking scene.
No breath at all.
He is indeed dead, and the time of death should not be very long.
After all, Xu would go down every once in a while to check on Ying Zhen.
Ying Liangzhi looked complicated.
"How did you guess that Ying Zhen didn't leave?"
"You said before that after Ying Zhen left, Mrs. Xu changed her past arrogance and domineering attitude and became cautious. She even moved away from her original place and lived in a remote courtyard."
"that's all?"
"It's just that I didn't doubt these things until I asked Feng Qingyan yesterday. He said that when he looked for her, Mrs. Xu told him that Ying Zhen had gone out to practice. Later, he searched for so long but couldn't find Ying Zhen. He came here today. At that time, you told me that Xu didn’t have those elixirs or spiritual stones in her storage bag.”
It is really not easy to guess a single thing.
But when several things are put together, it is easy to guess.
Especially Xu's tired and sullen look, it was probably because the family members of the victims of the foreign disciples had barged in when they were looking for her before, and they had been harassing her until recently, which made her startled.
That's why Ying Liangzhi deceived him so quickly.
"In the past two years, Ying Zhen has probably been helping Ying Tiancheng secretly."
"Zhen'er... Zhen'er, wake up!" Mrs. Xu cried bitterly.
I don't know how long she cried, but Xu murmured in pain: "Who killed Zhen'er?"
Ying Liangzhi heard this and asked: "Besides you, does anyone else know that Ying Zhen is here?"
"And Fourth Master."
He looked at Xu Qiuqian.
As expected, Ying Zhen should have been killed by someone sent by Ying Tiancheng, or perhaps committed suicide himself.
