The Chu family's mansion, the main house study.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy.

Chu Xiaoyue sat on the stool, and her complexion was much better at this time.

Old Man Chu stood in front of her, his eyes deep in thought.

"So, this man is here for midnight hairpins. He frowned and said, "Is the thing still there?"

Chu Xiaoyue nodded, "Grandpa, don't worry, the midnight hairpin is a family heirloom, and Xiaoyue carries it with her all the time." ”

"Well, that's good. Old Man Chu groaned slightly, and looked at Chu Lin and Song Qingyuan, "You two go to the big banquet first, be sure to hide this matter, this big banquet is a feast for Xiaoyue, don't make mistakes." ”

The two of them responded and were about to go out, but Chu Xiaoyue said, "Daddy, wait, I think that this matter not only can't be hidden, but it also needs to be publicized." ”

Everyone was stunned, but they heard Old Man Chu ask, "What idea does Xiaoyue have?"

Chu Xiaoyue took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Although I am not sensible, I still have many questions when I think about this matter. ”

"First of all, the midnight hairpin is my Chu family's heirloom, outsiders can't take it, even if it is stolen, what's the use, the whole world knows that this thing is mine, as long as the thief makes a move, it shows that this thing is done by himself, if he doesn't make a move, he can't use it in his hand, so why did he steal the night hairpin?"

All three of them had thoughtful expressions, she was right, they also had doubts in their hearts, but they didn't have time to think about it yet.

At this time, it was so clearly pointed out by Chu Xiaoyue, and she couldn't help but be even more puzzled.

"So I think there might be some use for this midnight hairpin that we don't know about. ”

Of course, there's a space in there.

Chu Xiaoyue continued to guide, "Second, dare to touch the Caizhen Courtyard during the feast, which means two things, this person who steals things not only knows that my aunt has given me the midnight hairpin, but also knows where I live and when there will be a hole in the place where I live. ”

She paused, her tone extremely cold, "So I suspect that we have fellow thieves in our family!"

"Hmph!" Chu Lin slammed his fist on the bookcase, his eyes seemed to be quenched, "I will never let go of any traitor, dig three feet into the ground, I will definitely find him out, crush his bones and scatter ashes!"

Among the families, the most intolerable are the betrayal.

Old Man Chu also had a cold look in his eyes.

"Xiaoyue is reasonable, since this is the case, we still have to be more careful. He paused and looked at the girl, "But why do you want to get the word out about it?"

"Now that the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, and the best thing is to wait and see what happens, but after this feast, the Chu family is famous, and my name is known to the world. Logically, I'm going to have to go to the academy next. ”

Indeed, Lu Ji has already said that when he goes back, he can just take Chu Xiaoyue with him, so as not to send the Chu family again.

"But going to the academy is not like being at home, and if the traitor is really by my side, I can't take my father and grandfather with me. It's better to tell the public that my home was burglarized and I was stabbed, so that I was injured and couldn't go to the academy, so I could buy time to find out as soon as possible. ”

The three of them couldn't help nodding, indeed, it is not clear who the traitor is now, if it is really the person next to her, then it is very dangerous for her to go to the academy.

"At the same time, there is another one, which is my selfishness. She pursed her lips, "Originally, this banquet brought together heroes from all over the world, and it was a good time for the Chu family to show their strength, but so many people from the Immortal Sect came. Xianmen and the family have never had such large-scale contact, and I am a little panicked in my heart, afraid that they will hit me on the head. ”

What she said was a little childish, and the three of them listened to it, but they thought more.

Now that Chu Xiaoyue is famous, there will be actions in the next immortal gate, and Qiu Shihai of the Spirit Sword Sect even said that he wanted her to take over the mantle, and the other immortal sects don't know what to do.

Thinking of this, Old Man Chu regretted his decision to hold a big banquet when he was excited.

If it weren't for this feast, Xiaoyue wouldn't have provoked Lu Zhenzhen of the Spirit Sword Sect, who was now injured again.

The more Old Man Chu thought about it, the more angry he became, if there was no big feast, even if someone was worried about the midnight hairpin, they would never have the opportunity to steal in the mansion!

After a while, Old Man Chu made the decision and nodded, "Just do what Xiaoyue said." After saying that, he glanced at the two of them, nodded their heads, and turned to go to the banquet hall.

In the study, only Chu Xiaoyue and Old Man Chu were left.

This night's time was attacked and injured, and it was analysis and reasoning, which could make the little girl toss a lot.

Looking at his granddaughter, who is sensible and well-behaved, smart and calm, Old Man Chu can't tell whether he is proud or distressed.

He reached out and pinched her little face, it should have been a good day for her birthday, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, he really wronged her.

"Alas. He sighed, "Blame me for being old and useless, if I catch someone, I can also give you a vent." ”

Chu Xiaoyue laughed loudly, Old Man Chu is dignified and powerful, he looks like a middle-aged man in his early forties, he has cultivated to a profound spiritual power, and at this moment he has a handsome face, a proper middle-aged beautiful uncle.

She knew that Old Man Chu was afraid that she would be uncomfortable and deliberately teased her, and her heart was warm.

But after thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask, "The person who didn't even catch up with grandpa, is the other party higher than Yuanying Xiuwei?"

Old Man Chu shook his head, "That person's cultivation is no more than the middle stage of Jindan, and his breath is not stable, I don't know what secret technique was used, I chased him to the banquet hall, and his aura suddenly disappeared." ”

He was very sure of that person's cultivation, so he was sure that he had escaped with secret techniques, and at that time, there were people in the banquet hall, and he was still afraid that he didn't want to destroy Xiaoyue's birthday banquet, so he didn't investigate further.

It was because he was sure that the other party's disappearance was not because his cultivation was higher than Yuanying, so after he gave up tracking, he immediately went to the study to check the situation of the big array and prohibition at home.

If it was really done by the Returning Void Immortal Monarch, he would not have come to the study, but would have gone directly to the back mountain to discuss with the elders.

Seeing that he was so sure, Chu Xiaoyue also put her mind at ease, but she was still thinking about her heart.

Seeing her look different, Old Man Chu asked, "Do you know the identity of the other party?"

She pondered for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't have any sense of the high-ranking monk who led the people away, but the ...... who fought with me"

She paused, a thousand thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally decided to say it, "I feel like the daughter of the Yan family-Yan Yu'er." ”

"What?" Old Man Chu was stunned, the Yan family and the Chu family are the farthest apart, and there are very few intersections on weekdays, so Yan Yu'er's identity is embarrassing, the Chu family has never dealt with her, how can such a person who can't be beaten by eight poles be her?

"Are you sure?"

Chu Xiaoyue raised her face, her face was calm but serious, "Yes." ”
