The dark night is approaching, and there is not a single star in the sky.
When Yang Xiaosi returned to the school, lights were lit everywhere in the school. She took two detours to Qiong Yi's place and knocked on the door. Seeing the swollen face of Lu Li who opened the door for her, she immediately screamed: "How did you end up like this!"
Qiong Yi glanced outside the room and pulled her in: "It was a fight."
His face was ridiculously swollen, and Yang Xiaosi wanted to laugh but felt distressed at the same time. After asking what happened, he became so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and started cursing. He cursed for half a quarter of an hour before he calmed down.
"Xiaosi, did you find out anything?" Qiong Yi asked.
Yang Xiaosi took a sip of tea to moisten her voice, which she had used too frequently just now: "Senior sister, of course I have heard a lot of news!"
She continued: "I didn't go to the place where the Wei family was hit by a car to find out. Instead, I went to the other side of the town, where there were many people and it was easy to talk to. Then I caught someone and started asking. Some people said that the Wei family was The one who was hit was very miserable. It was a large sedan pulled by several horses. It was very heavy. It ran over his legs and broke them immediately. Some people said that he passed out from the pain on the spot. He didn't stop, and no one dared to help him. He was still lying on the street with a stick of incense, and he bled for half the street!"
Qiong Yi hissed. Hearing what she said, he felt a little pain in his legs.
"I asked whose carriage it belonged to, and there were different opinions. Some said it was a carriage that came to pull goods, some said it was a carriage belonging to the Zhang family in the city next door, and some said it was a carriage rented by a wealthy family doing business in the east of the town. "
"Then I inquired for a long time, and they said that the people from the Zhang family's car in the next city owned 70% of it! They said that although the cars all looked about the same and had no signs, the horse pulling the car was a horse. The white horse with a red bolt tied around its neck is the one raised by the Zhang family."
"The city next door is called Wanfeng City. I also asked Zui about the Zhang family. They are in the fabric business. They weave and sew clothes and also run a dyeing workshop. They are considered a wealthy family in the city. Senior sister, what do you mean? Could it be that the Zhang family really did the thing that killed someone? If it was really this family, why did Su Changming help them cover it up?"
Qiong Yi suddenly fell into deep thought.
"If...if this matter really has nothing to do with him, senior sister, could he be attracted to you?" Lu Li clenched his fist and said.
Qiong Yi held his forehead: "Don't talk nonsense, I know what I look like."
She thought about it and replied: "There are two possibilities. One, the Zhang family is the scapegoat, and two, he has interests connected with the Zhang family and needs to be shielded. No matter what, there is definitely something wrong with Su Changming."
"Why did this matter become so difficult?" Yang Xiaosi held his head: "He can silence passers-by, he can use people outside the city to confuse our sight, and he is also a worker guarding the platform. What happened to the Wei family? If he’s here, there’s no way he can turn over!”
Qiong also had a problem: "If I could give him..."
"Senior sister!" Lu Li was shocked: "Don't have any dangerous ideas!"
Qiong Yi smiled helplessly: "I checked his cultivation level when we met. His cultivation level is at the same level as mine, but his Qi is much lower than mine. If I am really anxious, it's not like I can't take risks."
"Senior sister, say goodbye! Let's leave this matter to Young Master Su. After all, we are just here to learn. If something happens, we will not only make others hate you, but we will also be scolded when we go back." Yang Xiaosi held on to his hand. Qiong Yi's hand: "Retreat if you can. Didn't Miss Wei Ying not want to ask for an explanation for her father at that time? You have done everything you can, but if this thing can't be done, can she still blame you?"
"That being said..." Qiong Yi lowered his eyes: "I still want to fight for it."
She raised her head: "By the way, do you have any music beads? I remember who Master gave this magic weapon to?"
Yang Xiaosi replied: "Here I am."
"Lend me to you for a while. If Su Changming comes to see me, I might be able to tell you a few words. Then I can ask Su Ye to take him to his clan and treat Su Changming."
"Fine."
Seeing that Qiong Yi couldn't be persuaded, Lu Li had no choice but to say: "Senior sister, if there is anything you can't handle, you must report it to the master and the elders!"
Qiong also nodded: "Yes."

The next day.
Qiong Yi was practicing swordplay early in the morning and didn't see Sheng Xuanyuan, so she knew he had already left.
"What is it that makes him leave for a few days every one month?" Qiong Yi looked at the golden ginkgo leaves above his head and thought to himself: "Did he go to see someone?"
Could it be that he was leaving in such a hurry because he was going to see the girl he liked?
She held the xiange sword, and the snow-like white sword energy rolled down branches full of yellow flowers. The pieces flew away like butterflies, covering the ground with gold. The tip of the sword caught and pierced a fallen leaf. She put the sword away and returned to the front. She took off the piece of ginkgo, Thinking of the rumors that have been spreading wantonly since yesterday, I sighed and dropped Ye Zi on the ground: How could it be said that senior brother and I are in love? How could it be said that Sheng Hao and I...
Senior brother Lu Yuhao was a fantasy she had had when she was young. At that time, Qiong Yinian and Daukou, just like every young girl in her youth, would look forward to people who treat her well. Lu Yuhao never explained the reasons for being good to her. It also caused her to misunderstand for a long time.
More than a year ago, Qiong Yi overheard why Lu Yuhao treated her better than other junior sisters.
It turned out that the nightmare that he still had day and night, the haunting evil ghost, was his fault.
He was kind to himself just to atone for his sins.
Qiong also gradually understood that her affection for her senior brother was just more admiration than other senior brothers.
This is what happened with Lu Yuhao, what else is there with Sheng Xuanyuan? Total nonsense.
Qiong Yi put away her sword and ran down the mountain, preparing to go back to school for morning lessons. When passing by the open space, she saw that there was no one, but she couldn't help but call out: "Sheng Hao, let's go!"
"Well, let's go."
Normally, he would stand in front of her and answer like this.
Qiong Yi was stunned by her own habits, and there was a vague feeling in her heart: Sheng Hao seemed to be different from others.
Qiong Yi always only divided the people she knew into three categories: Aluo, those she liked and those she didn't like.
For example, Yang Xiaosi, Lu Li, Lu Yuhao, and Su Ye are all in the "like" category, while Lu Lanshan, Lu Xu, and Su Changming are in the "dislike" category.
Sheng Xuanyuan is different from them in that he does not belong to any one category.
Until now, Qiong Yi still doesn't understand this person, is still easily choked by him, and still chooses to treat him as a friend.
"...Where did Sheng Hao go? What did he do! When he comes back, I must ask him clearly!" Qiong Yi clenched his fists and ran towards the school without looking back.
*
Another day later, Su Changming came.
Qiong also thought that he would come to the school, but she didn't expect that he would wait for her directly outside the classroom!
The master had just finished his homework. When it was time to break up, Su Changming, who was standing outside the room, strode in. None of the disciples in the classroom knew him. They were confused at first. When they saw him walking to Qiong Yi's side, he said : "Miss Lu, I've been standing outside the house for a long time, so I can wait until your class is over. Let's go." His voice was extremely soft, and it seemed like ambiguous words.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room opened their eyes wide. There were enough rumors about her in the past two days, and even caused a fight among the disciples. Unexpectedly, someone blocked the door of the school room and came to her today!
Su Ye was startled for a moment, then said angrily: "What are you doing here? Su Changming!"
He stepped forward, grabbed Su Changming's collar, and slammed it on the ground: "Get out!"
The master was so frightened on the stage that he didn't know what to do. He slapped the table with a ruler and said, "Su Ye! Stop!" He scolded, "Su Changming! Aren't you supposed to stay at Shishoutai? Why did you come to Qingfeng Academy?"
Su Changming stood up and said, "Master, a month ago, I met Miss Lu by chance. I came here to find her. I didn't want to disturb you in class, so I didn't come in until class was over. Isn't this inappropriate?"
The disciples made a chattering sound.
Qiong Yi's entire face turned green. She turned around and pretended to be frightened, and said in a low voice: "But, I don't know you."
She turned to look at Su Ye: "Is this...?"
Su Ye understood and said in a deep voice: "My cousin, Su Changming."
So, Qiong also bowed and saluted: "Mr. Su, I'm afraid you have recognized the wrong person. I have never seen you." She added: "I have never left the school and listened to classes every day. Masters, you all know this. How could this happen?" How can I get a chance to meet you outside Qingfeng Town?"
Su Changming's expression froze.
Qiong Yi's eyebrows jumped, as if he had seen through something: Why didn't he say anything about me going to the garrison to deliver the documents at night? Was he afraid that the Master would know?
...It seems that this is indeed the case.
"Miss Lu's words are so sad." Su Changming unfolded his folding fan, covered his face and sighed: "I don't think it has just been these days, but you have been in contact with my cousin..."
Su Ye's brows stood up: "What did you say!" After saying that, he rushed forward with his fists raised. Qiong Yi lowered her head and covered her face. There was already a hint of crying in her words, and her clear voice suddenly filled her ears. Mizuze: "Mr. Su... I don't know you, why do you want to smear my innocence with your empty talk?..."
Everyone was shocked. Someone had already stepped forward to hold Su Ye up. The Master was also confused and quickly stepped down from the podium to stop them.
Qiong Yi lowered her head and sobbed non-stop. She staggered and then fell to the ground. Her tears spilled on her green conch-colored skirt one by one, making it look like dark blue. She cried more and more loudly, her shoulders trembling slightly. She was helped up by a kind-hearted disciple. At this time, her eyes were red and her eyelashes were lined with tears. She spoke to the person next to her with a confused face: "I... really don't know him... ever since he entered the school... a few words, every word." It is implied that I have an affair with him...but I, I have never met him at all..."
"If a girl from an ordinary family is told this by him, I'm afraid she will be forced to throw herself into the river... We female cultivators, even if we are cultivators, are less bound by worldly ethics, but... we can't afford to be beaten by him. Such slander..." Qiong Yi's eyes were extremely red. After speaking, he covered his mouth and coughed: "Ahem!..."
"Okay, okay, Miss Lu, please stop crying."
"Yeah, stop crying, no one will believe his nonsense!"
"yes."
"Hey! Who are you! You just rush in and throw dirty water on my classmate?"
"That's right! Get out!"
"Get out!"
Qiong Yi wiped away her tears, held her hands in front of her, and bowed to the Master tremblingly: "Sir, please be careful and clear me up!" When she stood up, a crystal tear dripped down her cheek, like a magnolia. Dew drops on flowers.
This master is not a good-tempered person. Seeing that his fine class was disturbed by the sudden intrusion of Su Changming, and that he had wronged his students to such an extent, he directly shouted at Su Changming: "You evildoer! I was originally in When the Su family taught you, you didn’t know what you were?! Now you’re causing trouble to my students who are obediently attending classes! Get out! Get out of the school! This is not the place you should be!”
While roaring, he also smashed the ruler over: "Get out of here, me! If I see you again one day, I will have to go to the clan meeting to admonish you! Get out!"
Qiong Yi pursed her lips and wiped away tears with a look of grievance on her face when she saw Su Changming staring at her with a pair of sinister eyes and walking away amidst the scoldings.
She lowered her eyelashes and said coldly in her heart: This person is really despicable.
