"you--"
Yuan Lan pointed at me like a naughty young lady, furious.
"If you don't leave, I'm going to use violence. I, Chen Qi, am not the one who cares about women." I glanced at her lightly, with an indifferent expression.
"I'm leaving!" Yuan Lan lost her momentum, but halfway through, she turned back and said, "If you really want to use the Runan Yuan Clan to fight against the United Clan, you will definitely regret your actions today! "
"This is my business, I don't need you to worry about it." I continued to say calmly.
"You went back on your word and deceived me. Chen Qi, let me ask you one last thing. When you said you wanted to help me with the Jin'an Lin family matter, did you count?"
Yuan Lan asked again.
"talk later."
"I told you about this before. As far as you are concerned, it's not just helping me. You can also get great benefits!" Yuan Lan added.
"I'll wait until you tell me the specific news about this matter before I think about it. Now, I'm going to rest. Please ask Miss Yuan Lan not to disturb me anymore."
I closed my eyes.
Yuan Lan snorted coldly and left without looking back. At the same time, when she left, she closed the door heavily, as if to vent her resentment.
After she left, I recovered my side and thought about it.
First of all, I have to confirm what Yuan Lan just said, whether she has anything to hide.
And who can help me determine that my first choice is still Yuan Zhao, who has helped me before.
This time, I did not wait for Yuan Zhao to come to her door, but took the initiative to find her residence.
Yuan Zhao was surprised to see me and said, "The discussion has just ended. I wanted to go and thank you alone. You said you were feeling unwell and wanted to go back to rest. Why did you take the initiative to come to my place? Is there something wrong?"
I nodded.
"Come in and talk."
Yuan Zhao invited me into the house.
When I got inside, I smelled the aroma of medicine, and at the same time, I saw a young man in his twenties or thirties lying on the bed.
This young man's face was a little pale and had many scars.
"This is my son Yuan Xin. After the war between the clan leader and the United Clan, a ninth-grade member of the United Clan came to find my son. Although my son has no energy, he usually exercises his body. Although he is not a cultivator, But he is much stronger than ordinary people. With the help of the life-saving technique I gave him, he briefly escaped the pursuit of a ninth-level man."
Yuan Zhao explained to me, "Of course, my son Yuan Xin managed to escape for a while with the help of my life-saving skills, but he could not escape back to the Yuan family in Runan. Therefore, he hid in the pig pen, thus hiding for two years. sky."
"In the past two days, he has been eating pig food and sleeping in piles of excrement and urine. Life is worse than death. This is naturally not a long-term solution. Just when my son was about to leave the pig pen and prepare to fight his way back to the clan, fortunately, the United clan suddenly retreated."
"Chen Qi, thank you very much."
Yuan Zhao once again thanked me sincerely.
"Brother, thank you. You helped save my life, Yuan Xin. I also heard many stories about you from my mother. You are amazing."
Yuan Xin dragged his sick body and sat up from the bed. He smiled weakly at me and expressed his gratitude.
"Senior Yuan Zhao, you are out of touch when you say this. We are close friends now. You have tried your best to help me, and I will naturally repay you."
I waved my hand quickly, and then I immediately changed the subject and got back on track, saying, "I'm here today. I have something to ask you."
"Okay, let's talk in the next room."
Yuan Zhao glanced at Yuan Xin and said.
"It's okay, just say it here, it doesn't matter, we are all our own people." I said with a smile.
After Yuan Zhao pondered for a moment, he nodded and did not avoid Yuan Xin.
I recounted some of the things Yuan Lan said and asked Yuan Zhao if this really happened.
After listening to what I said, Yuan Zhao nodded, looked at me intently, and said: "Well, on the day you left Luyi, a seventh-level assassin who was a hidden official came to assassinate the heir apparent of our clan. Let's unite the nobles to kill him. The Yinguan forces promised a big price, and according to the intelligence obtained by our Runan Yuan clan, it is a Qi Lake with four hundred strands of Qi!"
Hearing this, I was a little surprised...
In order to win over the Yuan family in Runan, the United Tribes promised a Qi Lake with eight hundred strands of Qi. Although the Qi Lake with four hundred strands of Qi was only half the number of the Qi Lake, it was still incomparable. A prized possession.
"This Yin Guan can be regarded as a genius among them. He has already reached the seventh rank when he is nearly thirty years old. In the future, there is a high probability that he can go one step further and achieve the sixth rank. At the same time, this Yin Guan He is extremely proficient in the art of murder and concealment, and neither I nor Patriarch Yuan Jing discovered the night he assassinated Lin Guanfo."
Yuan Zhao continued.
"How did Lin Guanfo kill this seventh-grade hermit official?" I asked the key.
After Yuan Zhao pondered for a while, he replied to me: "After the seventh-grade hermit officer was killed, the chief Yuan Jing discovered that someone had secretly broken into our noble clan, and immediately summoned all the sixth-grade clan elders to come to Lin Guanfo's residence to check. , and at the same time, they also interrogated him together."
"At that time, when we saw the hidden official, there was only a dead body left of him, and how he died... I can only say that he was killed in one blow."
When I heard Yuan Zhao's last words, my expression changed subtly again.
One hit to kill?
Kill a seventh grader with one blow?
I don’t have this ability now...!
"This Yin Guan died very mysteriously. There were no important injuries on his body, and even the energy in his body was very abundant. It didn't look like a big battle, but rather like he was killed by a being who was completely beyond his power. He used thunder to The force of the attack killed him, and his wound was on his neck, which was broken alive."
Yuan Zhao was silent for a moment, then continued: "You may not have seen that death. His neck was pinched from behind, not from the front. The head of the seventh-grade hidden official was not separated, but But only the skin at the throat is still disconnected... That scene doesn't look like he came to assassinate Lin Guanfo, but more like he was assassinated by someone else!"
The seventh-rank hidden official wanted to assassinate the eldest son of the Yuan family in Runan, but he was assassinated by others instead!
"How did Lin Guanfo explain it?" I asked in a deep voice.
"Lin Guanfo told us that when he saw the seventh-grade Yin Guan, he had no intention of running away and felt that death was about to come. Therefore, at the moment when Yin Guan swung his sword, the light of the sword flashed. Then he closed his eyes."
"Then, Lin Guanfo waited for a while and found that the sharp sword did not take his life. Instead, the seventh-grade hidden official had his neck pinched from behind and fell into a pool of blood..."
Yuan Zhao said solemnly.
Hearing this, I frowned.
After a long time, I asked: "Do you believe what Lin Guanfo said?"
"His answer seemed to be evading, but several of us, Sixth Grade, led by Yuan Zheng, and assisted by Yuan Jing Clan Chief, checked the scene for a long time. Not only did they check the scene, but Clan Chief Yuan Jing also checked Lin Guanfo again. We didn't find anything strange about his body, so we have to believe his explanation."
Yuan Zhao went on to say: "We have always had doubts about this matter, including the suspicion that Lin Guanfo is not actually disabled, and that he still has the strength to practice as a metaphysics. We even suspected that Lin Guanfo might still be practicing that There is a secret method, but we can’t find any evidence.”
"Now that our clan is in a precarious situation, internal suspicion is undesirable, so we don't get too entangled. Anyway, our Runan Yuan clan has no losses. On the contrary, it has cost a lot to unite with the noble clans. The price has not been paid yet.”
"until……"
After saying this, Yuan Zhao paused.
"Until what?" I mused.
"Until this morning, our suspicion of Lin Guanfo has faded a bit."
Yuan Zhao returned.
I immediately thought of something and said, "Is it because of the mysterious Yuan family in Runan?"
"Yes, we suspect that the person who helped Lin Guanfo directly crush the seventh-grade hidden official killer with the power of thunder may be the mysterious person who worked with you to deal with Wang Kang and Luzhou that day."
Yuan Zhao nodded.
I remained silent...
Is it Yuan Zhengfa? Absolutely not. Although Yuan Zhengfa and I were separated at that time, and he had time to help Lin Guanfo, I had a hunch that it was probably not Yuan Zhengfa.
"Mother, this Lin Guanfo..."
Suddenly, at this moment, Yuan Xin, who had been silent beside him, spoke.
Yuan Zhao glanced at him.
Yuan Xin swallowed the words on the edge of his mouth again.
I immediately noticed the weirdness here and asked Yuan Xin: "Brother Yuan Xin, what's wrong with Lin Guanfo?"
