Chapter 33: No Revelation (I)
Yuan Ying felt that her whole body was frozen and unable to move, but she didn't believe that her mother would die, her mother was the thirty-sixth on the martial arts list, how could she be so easy......
She looked at the box in front of her, and reached out to open it, but was grabbed by Fengchen's wrist.
"I'll take a look. He said to Yuan Ying, and then motioned to the waiter to turn his back to Yuan Ying and open the box, the moment the box was opened, a foul smell wafted from inside, Feng Chen looked at the things in the box for a long time but did not speak, and an elder on the side stood up curiously and wanted to find out, but the four walls of the box were too high, and he couldn't see the contents at all.
"Ye Qi, you go and take a look. The old man pointed to the box and gestured to the reddish-brown man beside him.
"Yes, Father!"
Xuanwu Ling Ye Qi walked up to the box and looked at itβit actually contained a traceless head! But the head was already unrecognizable, the hair was dyed white by lime, and half of the face was rotten, even the bones were exposed, and the other half of the remaining face was white and terrifying. He was disgusted when he saw it, turned his head to clench his fist and coughed dryly, and then "snapped" and buckled the box.
"It's her, that's right......" He looked at the old man with complicated eyes and nodded.
"Brother Fengchen?" Yuan Ying looked at him with an almost begging look.
"Ying'er, I'm sorry......"
Yuan Ying looked at him in disbelief, covering her ears with her hands and shaking her head constantly, and her body unconsciously took several steps back.
Fengchen stepped forward and hugged her into his arms, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, there is still my brother here, and you will live here with my brother and grandfather in the future." β
After hearing this, Yuan Ying could no longer restrain the grief in her heart, tears burst out of her eyes in an instant, and the whole person trembled uncontrollably in Fengchen's arms, she grabbed his sleeve tightly like a life-saving straw, and sobbed quietly. Feng Chen raised his head and looked at Wu Qi with cold eyes.
"Wuqi, Wuqi, you, what do you say you are doing? She's your sister, how can you assert yourself......" Ye Qi pointed to the box so angry that he was about to speak.
"Ye Qi, what's wrong with me?" Wu Qi also looked at him without showing weakness, "When my people found my sister's body, her body had been crushed into mud by stones, so we brought back her only intact head, is there a problem?"
Yuan Ying clenched her fists and bit her lip tightly, blood dripping from the corners of her mouth and onto Feng Chen's hand. Fengchen raised his hand to cover Yuanying's ears and pressed her face against his chest.
"Ancestor, you judge the reasoning, otherwise what can I do! You can't throw her corpse into the wild, right?" he straightened his chest and said to the old man in a heartfelt manner, "Besides, I am the younger brother of Traceless, and during the period when there is no head of the Hanche Gate, it is naturally up to me to decide how to deal with the affairs in the door!"
After hearing this, Feng Chen said coldly: "Who said that there is no master? Ying'er is eighteen years old this year, and she is the only daughter of the head of the Traceless family, during the period of the disappearance of the head of the family, she should take over the affairs of the door!"
"Fengchen! The matter of the Han Chemen has nothing to do with you, right?" Wuqi squinted at him, his nails digging at the hollow eye sockets of the skull on the hilt of the sword.
"Yuanying is my sister, of course I am qualified to ask about her affairs!"
"What...... What sister! I'm still her uncle! I'm more qualified than you to take care of her affairs! Her mother is still my sister, and when her mother dies, of course I'm qualified to clean up the portal for her and reorganize the sect!"
"What kind of portal to clean up?" Ye Qi asked vigilantly after hearing this.
"It's nothing! It's just some unsightly mess, I've wanted to clean it up for a long time! When my sister was alive, these dogs tried to stir up the relationship between our sister and brother, and now that she's dead, see that I don't pull their tendons and pick their skins!"
As he spoke, the spit spittled at the black-haired old man, and he turned his head in disgust to ignore him. Yuan Ying suddenly broke out of Feng Chen's arms when she heard him say this, her eyes were already red, and she stiffened to look at the hateful person.
"What did you do during my mother's absence?"
"Hey, do you still have the face to ask me?" he pointed to Yuan Ying and approached her, "You don't care about the affairs of the door all day long, and it's quite fun to run here, you don't even know that your mother is dead, I think you can live here, and you will have nothing to do with Han Chemen in the future!"
"In that case, then please get out of here too!I don't want to see you again!" Yuan Ying shouted at him with red eyes.
"You!" Wuqi raised his hand to give her a slap. Maple Dust stepped forward to block her behind, and Wu Qi glared at Maple Dust, as if he wanted to dig out his heart.
"Wuqi! Yuan Ying came here to see what happened to her grandfather? And as Feng Chen said, Yuan Ying is eighteen years old this year, she is the only daughter of Wuxi, even if you want to choose the head, it will not be your turn!" Seeing this, Ye Qi also stepped forward and grabbed his hand.
"You say she's the only daughter of Traceless, and I'm her only brother!"
"Why are you so unreasonable!"
"Alright, stop arguing!" the old man slammed his cane on the ground, "Wuqi, what the hell is going on without a trace, have you checked?"
"Judging from the wounds on her face, it's obvious that Rin Hong from the Divine Mansion did it!" Wuqi said through gritted teeth, "About a month ago, my sister and the people from the Divine Mansion discovered the Tomb of the Heavenly King at the same time, and the two sides seemed to have an argument over the property, and they started to fight...... In the end, it was found that my sister's body was under the cliff west of Tianhuang City. β
"Alas, no trace is true! Our Hengguo has a lot of gold and silver, why did she bother to put her life on the line for the money in those old graves!" Ye Qi sighed heavily after hearing this.
"I don't think it's that simple, my sister is a cautious person, and she won't easily deal with other forces, especially a big force like Shenfu, I think she was forced to be anxious this time!"
"However, the Divine Mansion is a branch of the Yinji Sect, the largest force in the Yi Kingdom, and the Hanchemen is a branch of our Xuanwu Tomb Mansion, and we have a feud with them for generations. The Divine Mansion openly acted against the head of the Traceless Sect this time, making it clear that it was their 'Silver God Clan' who was declaring war on us!" The elders of the Xuanwu Tomb Mansion on the side also said angrily after hearing this.
"It's not just the Silver Bun Sect and the Divine Mansion, this time my sister's death, the people in the Red Fang also moved. β
"What does this have to do with Red Fang?"
Wuqi snorted coldly after hearing this.
"In order to consolidate its position in Wancaimen over the years, the Red Fang has expanded the underground dark market transactions, and has been doing the trading of the dart bureau in private, and later when we investigated this matter, we found that the money found by the Divine Mansion from the tomb of the Heavenly King was not directly transported back to their Yi country, but first went to Tianhuang City and handed over to the dart bureau of the Red Fang Dark Market for transportation, I think there must be another hidden ...... in this."
