Chapter 5: The Final Meeting
Xiao Hanfeng's sharp eyes slowly swept over everyone, snorted coldly, and said indifferently: "Why didn't anyone answer my question, let you arrest people, what are you doing?"
When everyone heard this, they were not as majestic as just now, and they all bowed their heads with wilts, and they didn't dare to gasp. Who doesn't know that the head of the Xiao family has a bad temper, is cold, and his methods are even more ruthless, provoking him, no matter whose family you are, he will not have the slightest scruples. Even if his own sect master personally protects him, he may not be able to save face! Therefore, whether it is a disciple of the Xiao family or a disciple of another family, they are all afraid of him in the same way, and even many people are more afraid of him than their own sect master.
Just when everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were too scared to speak, two more people came in outside the door.
One of them was dressed in a pale yellow robe, embroidered with golden chrysanthemum patterns, with a golden crown on his head, his face like a crown of jade, his lips slightly curved upwards with a hint of a smile, his eyes were warm, and he looked very kind and luxurious. It's just that at this time, the man seems to be anxious and irritable about something, his brows are furrowed tightly, and his face is quite sad. The other person is a little younger, wearing Qin's family clothes, and it is also a wide robe with arrow sleeves, and his appearance is not outstanding, although he is dressed as a family master, but compared with the two family masters around him, his bearing is really different, his eyes are empty, the soles of his feet are unstable, and he has a small family spirit.
At this time, Shangguan Chen finally sensed that something was wrong, pulled Shangguan Rin's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, has something happened? Why did you all come here all of a sudden? Even the three sect masters are here!"
Shangguan Rin said in a low voice: "At dusk today, the second son of the Gu family suddenly died violently, and some people saw that he was killed by the Heart-devouring Gu poison. The Heart Devouring Gu is a thing of the Demon Dao, this thing suddenly reappears, it must be the comeback of the Demon Dao, and it happened that we were all in the Gu family at that time, so the four sect masters sent us to search for it quickly. As soon as we arrived outside the Yuxiang Building, we heard the sound of fighting inside, and we thought that there were people who met the devil at the same door, but as soon as we came in, we saw you fighting. ”
Gu Qingze died violently!What's going on?!
Xiao Hanfeng glanced at everyone with compassion, and his tone was mocking: "Sect Master Qin, it seems that your Qin family is not very quiet, and you are a little hard at the sect master!"
Hearing this, Qin Li immediately put on an unnatural smile, although he was embarrassed, he didn't dare to directly attack Xiao Hanfeng's words, and said: "Our Qin clan is indeed acting recklessly, but how can Sect Master Xiao know that this matter is all my Qin clan's fault without even asking? You should also ask what the Shangguan family has done." After speaking, he also glanced at Shangguan Chen and Shangguan Rin, with disgust and hostility on his face.
Xiao Hanfeng looked sideways at Shangguan Rin, Shangguan Rin understood, first saluted respectfully, and then roughly said what had just happened.
Qin Li laughed sarcastically after hearing this: "I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be these little things." My disciple of the Qin clan is just too outspoken, but his intentions are good. Shangguan Chen's nephew is too narrow-minded, but he can't listen to a few words of admonition, and he fights for it, it seems that the Shangguan family's family style is really the same as always!" After speaking, he also put on a look of the elders teaching the younger generations with painstaking words, sighed and shook his head.
Shangguan Chen heard the three people taking turns ridiculing the Shangguan family in just a quarter of an hour, and he was already angry, but the person in front of him was different from Qin Hao, he could scold Qin Hao, and he could use a knife and a gun, but this was the head of the Qin family, and he could not be presumptuous, otherwise the reputation of the Shangguan family's improper rules would be solid. In desperation, he could only endure this dumb loss.
But this face is really ugly! Now that the people of the four major sects are here, they can't say a word of reprimand, isn't it clear that the Shangguan family is inferior, and I am afraid that in the future, it will be indispensable to ridicule behind their backs!
Xiao Hanfeng waited for a moment, glanced at Shangguan Chen and Shangguan Rin, and said quietly: "Although the actions of the Shangguan family are also offensive, if I hear someone complaining about the Xiao family, I am afraid they will do the same, or even worse! Isn't the Qin clan's verbal clash also rude to the Shangguan clan? Both of them are responsible for this matter, and they should be punished for dereliction of duty in the process of arresting the Demon Dao, valuing private interests over public affairs!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone who had just participated in the fight trembled and timidly responded "yes". Although Qin Li was unhappy, he didn't dare to speak out, so he lowered his face and didn't speak again.
Gu Qinghao, who had been watching from the sidelines, saw that the atmosphere was becoming more and more embarrassing, and reluctantly eased his face a little, and said softly: "Don't worry about these little things, you are all juniors, and the fight is insignificant, but the important matter of chasing the Demon Dao cannot be delayed!
Xiao Hanfeng also realized Gu Qinghao's emotions at this time, and his face eased slightly: "This matter is over, everyone continues to search." ”
As soon as the words fell, all the disciples present trotted out as if they had been amnestied, for fear that Xiao Hanfeng would make another move.
When everyone fled, it was inevitable that there would be chaos, and Shangguan Chen was dragged by Shangguan Rin and squeezed into the crowd, and his actions were slightly restricted. At this moment, Qin Hao, who was unwilling in the corner, had a resentful look in his eyes, and suddenly the corners of his mouth hooked, and with a sinister smile, a small sleeve arrow shot out of his sleeve and went straight to Shangguanchen!
Shangguan Chen was huddled in the crowd and didn't notice the danger that was approaching at all, he didn't expect Qin Hao to be so shameless as to sneak attack him in public, plus with Xiao Hanfeng in the town, he didn't even think about beware of Qin Hao. But just when the Hidden Arrow was about to hit him, Qin Hao didn't have time to finish his successful smile, when he heard a clear sound, and the Hidden Arrow fell in response.
Although the voice was weak, there were many people present who had advanced cultivation, especially Xiao Hanfeng and Gu Qinghao, who were the masters of a sect, and such movements naturally couldn't escape their ears.
Shangguan Chen stopped suddenly, turned around, and saw a silver needle, a sleeve arrow, and a peanut lying on the ground! The peanut was intact and still spinning on the ground.
Before everyone could react, a cold wind suddenly poured into the door, and at the same time, a woman rode in the wind.
The woman was dressed in green clothes, with a green jade belt around her waist, silver wrist guards on her wrists, boots on her feet, and a green sheath long sword hanging from her waist. When the wind is resisted, the light gauze black hair flutters in the wind, and a pair of bright eyes like stars loom between the green silk flying.
The woman flew directly to the private room upstairs facing the hall, pulled out her sword expressionlessly, and slashed it directly without saying anything, with smooth movements and clear goals. With the sound of broken wood, the door simply shattered. Without the cover of the door, the scene inside was suddenly exposed, and what caught everyone's eyes was a red gauze curtain fluttering, behind the curtain the figures were staggered, the charming sound shook people's souls, the wine flowed, and the color was bright.
The woman landed gently, her wrist turned slightly, and the long sword spun lightly in a circle, pointing diagonally at the ground. She looked inside with burning eyes, and the red veil blocked the inside and outside, as if it was clear and looming. Behind the red veil, a man's figure was reflected, the man was long, his body was elegant, and he was surrounded by several delicate girls, and from time to time there were a few coquettish voices. The man also chuckled a few times intermittently, and his voice was very clear and low, very good.
The woman didn't move forward, just stood there and quietly looked at the fragrant silhouette on the curtain, listening to the delicate and charming warbler whispering, although there was no expression on her face, but the light in those eyes was burning and angry, and no one knew what she was thinking.
A moment later, a gust of wind rose, and the veil was blown open layer by layer, and the scene inside gradually became clear, and when all the veils were removed, Ember was reclining on the soft couch, hugging two beauties on the left and right, and drinking the wine that the other two women poured into his mouth. At this time, Ember was dressed loosely draped over his body in red, and the collar was slightly open, revealing his fair and strong chest and bumpy collarbones. The black hair was loosely draped behind him, and a few strands of fine threads fell on his cheeks between his head and his head raised, and with those slightly drunk but hidden eyes, he was lazy and wanton. Red liquor poured down from the crimson glass, flowing like blood into his rolling throat, flowing down his white neck and into his body, the glow flowing and enchanting.
After enjoying the glass of wine, Ember lazily opened his tired eyes, turned his head indifferently, the intoxication on his face did not dissipate, and said lazily: "What's going on outside? Wasn't it over just now? Why did you come back again? If you want to make trouble, it's okay to go back to your own place to make trouble, it's too rude to disturb people and good things!"
The woman swept a plate of peanuts on the table next to her, then turned her gaze back and stared at him expressionlessly, with no intention of leaving.
At this moment, a Gu protégé in the crowd downstairs suddenly pointed at the embers and shouted, "It's him!
When the words fell, Xiao Hanfeng and Gu Qinghao's eyes lit up: "What are you talking about? What is him, tell me clearly!"
The protégé immediately knelt in front of Gu Qinghao and said excitedly: "Today, the second son had a conflict with this person on the street, and this person not only injured us, but also threatened the second son that he would die in front of him. As a result, the second son suddenly died soon after he went back, and this matter must have nothing to do with him!"
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of everyone present suddenly looked at the embers. It was as if he had been sure that he was a murderer.
Shangguan Chen's sharp eyes found the peanuts on his table, and he suddenly said, "You attacked Qin Hao just now?" The words fell, and Qin Hao also turned sharply to confirm that it was him.
In the face of everyone's unkind eyes and questions, Ember was completely dismissive, his eyes only looked at the woman in front of him, and after looking at it for a moment, he turned his gaze to her sword, and suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, and his tone was light: "Sect Master Ye's light luan sword is really better than seeing it, and the cold momentum is compelling, and the green light is shining in Qinghua, and it is indeed a peerless sword." It's just that using a sword on someone for no reason is probably a bit unruly, right? This is not something that a sect master would do. ”
Ye Yuhua still had a cold and serious expression, squinted his eyes and said, "Just now you attacked Qin Hao, and my apprentice was wronged, isn't it reasonable for me, as a master, to seek justice for my apprentice?"
Shangguan Chen's face immediately tightened after hearing this, and he hurriedly said: "Master, in fact, he was just helping ......" Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Rin pulled him back, covered his mouth, and scolded him in a low voice not to say more. Shangguan Chen refused, he knew that Ember was helping him just now, but now he was being harassed by his master on this ground, of course he had to make his words clear, and he must not let his benefactor be responsible. But he tried to open his mouth several times, but Shangguan Rin blocked him to death, and finally had to shut up, and in addition, he was secretly annoyed in his heart that he shouldn't have said it so quickly just now.
Ember also felt deeply wronged at this time, he really didn't want to blame Shangguanchen. After being stunned for a moment, he got up slightly and sat up a little straighter, and looked at her for a long time: "How did Sect Master Ye judge that I was the kid I was plotting for?
Before Ye Yuhua could speak, Xiao Hanfeng said with envy: "Sect Master Ye, I think it's better to ask about the violent death of the second son of the Gu family first! This is the right thing!" After speaking, he glanced at Ember fiercely, and that look seemed to be about to correct him on the spot now.
Gu Qinghao also hurriedly took two steps, and said solemnly: "Yes, the matter of the violent death of the second brother must be investigated as soon as possible, if Sect Master Ye has anything else, can he postpone it, let me inquire about it first?"
Ye Yuhua put away his sword, turned around and said, "Then how does Sect Master Gu plan to inquire?"
Gu Qinghao said: "Naturally, I will bring this person back to my home, and the four families will be jointly interrogated to determine whether he is a demon and whether he killed my brother." If it is verified to be true, it will be punished with the Fa-rectification and will not be tolerated!"
When Ye Yuhua heard this, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, as if he was smiling, and his expression was obscure: "Sect Master Qin also thinks so?"
Ember was originally watching the play leisurely, but now he suddenly felt interesting, this Ye Yuhua asked Sect Master Qin, not Sect Master Qin and Sect Master Xiao. It doesn't seem that Xiao Hanfeng is included at all, is the relationship between the two not good?
It was extremely embarrassing to be ignored in such a large public, not to mention that Xiao Hanfeng was still the head of a sect, and his face darkened at this moment. Forcibly stopped Qin Li's words that he was about to blurt out, and said, "Of course everyone thinks so!
Although Qin Li is usually mediocre, he is the most straw bag and the most weightless among the four sect masters, but after all, he is also the sect master who is on an equal footing with them, and he is also dissatisfied when he is bullied by such a strong force, so he immediately shook his sleeves, and his face showed anger.
Ye Yuhua finally turned his head to look at him when he heard Xiao Hanfeng's voice, but only one glance, and the next moment he didn't care too much, and said in a mocking tone: "Sect Master Xiao, who is also at a loss, can say such brazen words!"
Xiao Hanfeng's anger, which he had been trying to suppress, finally couldn't hold back at this time, and shouted angrily: "What do you mean by this!"
Ye Yuhua chuckled: "May I ask if you found this person? Did you arrest him? You haven't done anything, why are you ashamed to dispose of others!"
Xiao Hanfeng was furious: "No matter who caught the person, as long as it is a person from the Demon Dao, the Hundred Immortal Sects have the right to deal with it!"
Ye Yuhua suddenly laughed when she heard this, she has always been cold and arrogant in front of people, she has never been more than half relaxed, but now she is unexpectedly laughing, this is the first time that the sky is unprecedented! At this moment, the elegance is like a fragrant flower, and the ice and snow melt, instantly making the junior disciples below dumbfounded, and admiration arises spontaneously.
"What you mean by this is that you are blatantly robbing people of credit! Can you say such a lack of virtue so high-soundingly, and say that you are brazen and wrong? Besides, you all stayed here for a long time before I came in, and I was the last one to come and I could find the abnormality, and so many of you didn't even notice it. If it weren't for me, I'm afraid you would have left a long time ago! Now you have come to tell me that people should be shared by the four major sects, can you tell me how kind you are?"
As soon as these words came out, the junior disciples below immediately turned their heads and whispered, obviously they were also a little ashamed of such an act, but because the other party was accusing their own sect master, they didn't dare to say more, and they quickly calmed down.
The other three sect masters are naturally very unhappy, but Ye Yihua has always been arrogant, this kind of unruly and wild words are available anytime and anywhere, as long as she looks unhappy, you are the emperor Laozi, she will scold correctly, so even if she is angry, she is helpless.
Qin Li finally took advantage of the gap to insert a sentence: "Then what does Sect Master Ye want?"
Ye Yuhua's tone was light, but he couldn't say anything: "I want this person." ”
Gu Qinghao hurriedly said: "No! The revenge for killing my brother has not yet been clarified, and I must not let him go! Since someone has already testified that he is the most suspected, I must personally interrogate him, and I can't let my brother die in vain! No matter what, I will not let Sect Master Ye take people away, unless it is proved that he is not a murderer!"
Xiao Hanfeng also took advantage of the situation: "It's right that you caught the person, but this person is still involved in the murder of the second son of the Gu family, and people are investigating the murderer of your brother, do you want to stop it? If you still insist on doing this, it will be too much to say!"
Ye Yuhua didn't speak again this time, they were right, she really had no right to stop the Gu family from finding the murderer, not to mention that it was Gu Qinghao's second brother who died, no matter how arrogant she was, she couldn't interfere, otherwise she would definitely provoke the anger of the hundred families, and then she would have a grudge with the Gu family, and the matter would be troublesome.
Ember watched the play for a long time, and finally interjected at this time: "It seems that I am quite popular, I didn't expect the four major sects to make a big fight for my ownership, I am really flattered!"
Ye Yuhua said coldly: "Shut up!"
Ember was stunned by the reprimand, and actually shut up stupidly. In just a few words between the two of them, Xiao Hanfeng looked at Ember more and more angrily below, for some reason, his eyes were different from the first time he saw Ember, and he seemed to hate him very much, and this emotion became stronger and more obvious. In the end, he drew his sword at his waist and threw it out unexpectedly. You must know that the nature of this sword is no different from a sneak attack! And the one who came out of the sword is still a dignified sect master! What kind of grudge is this, and it can make a sect master do such a thing!
This sword came too suddenly, although Ye Yuhua reacted quickly, he could only avoid it by himself, and when he turned around, he couldn't stop the blade that stabbed into the heart of the ember.
