"Yes...... What's different? Mu Wan asked in confusion.

"It's the parting letter that Yuangui said. He told us clearly that she had slipped it through the crack in his door...... But how can the handwriting be different? ”

Xie Hualing also came up to take a look: "But I think it's very similar." Has her handwriting changed over time? ”

"Nope. You look at the handling of this pen, the letters of the early years, all her strokes have a tick. The one that Wu Yuan returned to us to show us was straight down with every stroke. Look, there's still this word...... The ratio of the length of this horizontal has also changed, and the top and bottom are closer. Although the two words are similar, they must not have been written by the same person. ”

Their faces changed. Especially Mu Wan, her doubts are more panic.

"Impossible...... How so? How could Senior Brother forge Senior Sister Yan's letter? Or is he trying to stabilize everyone's emotions...... But it's not right, if the senior sister suddenly leaves without saying goodbye, he will definitely find a way to find it, unless he ......"

After the word "unless", no one dares to say more.

"I'm not sure," Yamakai wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked worried, "Maybe it'...... Someone forged Senior Sister Yan's handwriting and deliberately confused your Senior Brother. But...... They have known each other for so many years, and Wu Yuangui should also recognize her words. ”

"If only I could see that letter you are talking about." Mu Wan sighed.

"That's the best," Xie Huayu rubbed his temples, "The parting letter should still be with Senior Brother." If you ask him for it, I don't know if you can bring it...... I just told Rin about the past that he had returned, but it was because he was suspicious of his temperament. Although he should still be ignorant of his own affairs, many of us feel that there is an unruly anger in him. I don't know where it came from...... Alas, I was still afraid that he would be suspicious. ”

"Shall we go to his room again and steal it?" Dai Luan said tentatively.

Shanhai frowned: "It's too risky." ”

"There's no other way!" Xie Hualing shouted.

"Indeed," her sister closed her eyes, her tone full of reluctance and grievance, "if you don't know who killed ......"

Xie Huayu suddenly stopped. She realized that when Mu Wan told her, Ah Ling was not there.

Shanhai raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the two of them.

"You tell ......" "What's wrong with Senior Sister Yan?!"

Before he finished speaking, he interrupted Xie Hualing's high-pitched scream. She was sharp, sensitive, and as intelligent as her sister. Looking at Xie Hualing's wide-glazed eyes and slightly trembling lips, they all knew that the truth of the matter was too cruel for this underage girl. But if she doesn't know the truth, she may not be able to grow up.

For some reason, the wind was much colder tonight than usual. It banged on the door intermittently, squeezing through the cracks in the window, and let out a painful wail. The chill lingered inside and outside the house, around everyone, and on everyone's heart.

Winter is coming.

Xie Hualing didn't say a word after listening to their euphemistic words. She was angry at Yan Muxue's death and they were all hiding their own business.

Anyway, the next day they had to find Yan Muxue's parting letter.

Theoretically, the letter should be in Wu Yuangui's room, which is on the same floor as Yan Muxue's house. They discussed it and decided to let Mu Wan in. Although she was unfamiliar with the place, she could determine the handwriting the moment she found the letter. Although they want to do this kind of stealing and touching dogs, they still do some psychological construction with each other. After all, this is a major event related to the fate of Xue Yan Valley - if Wu Yuan's plan to return to the truth is wrong, the whole family will have to pay for him.

What's more, there are already signs of this.

When everyone got up and the sun rose a little warmer, they walked towards their goal. First let Xie Hua and the others inform the guards and ask Wu Yuan to come back, saying that they would talk about Mu Wan and take the opportunity to take him farther away. Later, on the pretext of visiting other senior brothers and sisters, Mu Wan was allowed to enter. As for Shanhai and Dai Luan, always keep a distance from them, but pay attention to the movements here, just in case you come in time and adapt to the situation when the time comes.

Everything went smoothly as agreed.

At first, Mu Wan thought that the guards would definitely let the two of them go up directly—they were just disciples of Xueyan Valley. But Xie Hua said that in just half a year, many things have changed unconsciously. In fact, she was indeed stopped, so she had to let Wu Yuangui come down in person.

The indescribable sense of class made Mu Wan vaguely aware of a trace of abnormality.

She waited anxiously for a long time in the distance before Sister Xie Hua and Senior Brother slowly paced elsewhere. In order not to startle the snake, she also pretended to be here to find the senior brother. She knew several of the guards' disciples, not to mention that she was the disciple of the head of the sect, and she didn't make it difficult. However, they told Mu Wan that Senior Brother Wu had gone out with Xie Hua, saying that they wanted to talk about her. She pretended to be very interested, and then went in on the pretext of visiting other senior brothers and sisters, and waited for the senior brother to come back by the way.

It's best not to come back for a long time.

At the door of each room hangs a small sign with the names of the disciples who live there. Senior Brother Wu's room is not difficult to find, it is in the middle of the third floor. The middle one is locked, and it is the house left for the Master. She sighed to herself, glad that he still remembered everything, and was not as bad as they suspected.

Most of the disciples went to practice, and she didn't meet any acquaintances along the way, which was much more convenient. tiptoed to the door of Wu Yuanhui's room, there was no lock, and she slipped in quietly. Her heart was beating fast, and although she never claimed to be a decent gentleman, she had never done such a thing.

As soon as she entered, she felt a familiar aura, but it was not just Wu Yuanhui, there were other things that were closer to youkai. This made her feel a little nervous, could it be that he really had anything to do with youkai?

Closing the door and turning around, she couldn't help but gasp.

The house was big enough to accommodate more than a dozen people. In my impression, although Wu Yuangui can be said to be able to endure hardships since he was a child, according to Xie Huayu, the master feels guilty about him, and many things must have connived and accommodated him, so he has now exposed his greedy side for wealth and nobility. All the wooden furniture is precious old wood, and the whole room is filled with such a faint woody fragrance. The pens on the table were still very new, and they didn't look too used, but they were all excellent wolf hair. Not to mention the sheets, even the windows are made of soft grosgrain.

It's an outfit she can't even think of. She couldn't stop shaking her head, she didn't expect that her senior brother would completely forget the virtues such as simplicity, diligence and thrift taught by her master.

How much do you really know about him?

His wardrobe and drawers were all locked—she never knew that Wu Yuangui was such an insecure person. Or is he trying to hide something? It was not difficult to pick these locks, she still learned this trick from him when she was a child, although she was severely reprimanded by Senior Sister Yan afterwards.

When she saw the thick paperwork, she felt a little uneasy.

All the ancestral precepts and precepts were in vain – vouchers that allowed outsiders to come and go at will, letters of contact with the people who were on the side of the rivers and lakes, and many unequal contracts...... Is this how the money in this whole room and the entire Snow Yan Valley comes from?

She also found a letter signed by Cheng You, and she looked at it, not sure if it was the same person she met with Qing Lize. She looked at the content carefully, and sure enough, she mentioned the encounter with the little junior sister of Xue Yan Valley. Others are just ordinary condolences, nothing special. There are more unsightly things, the more she turns it, the more she feels soft, and the more she looks at it, the more dizzy she feels. What she could see between the lines was more like a treacherous businessman, a person who would do anything to maximize profits...... Villain.

None of the letters mentioned the search for Master's whereabouts. Flipping back, she saw something else.

- The door seal of the left gate.

A strong tinnitus appeared in my ears.

Under such noise, Mu Wan suddenly went crazy and rummaged through similar letters—they were intermittent, and they never mentioned what they were for, who they were killing, and perhaps some key things had been disposed of. Dealing with this kind of evil sect was originally something that the sect master absolutely forbidden, and I don't know what Wu Yuangui was thinking in his heart.

Who is it that deserves him to hire an assassin......?

If it is said that it is looking for someone, this is too far-fetched, isn't it enough to write it clearly in the letter? Why be so obscure. Although if it was really the master who found it through the left gate, I am afraid that his old man would be furious.

Can...... What about Senior Sister Yan's letter?

She hurriedly put the paperwork in order, tucked it back into a drawer, and locked it up. Then she anxiously walked around the room, trying to find other places to put things. Finally, she set her sights on the bedside table.

There was a small drawer with no lock. She half-knelt beside the bed and pulled open the drawer, which contained nothing more than a tea cake and a fan. Just as she sighed and was about to close the drawer, she suddenly saw a small note in the depths.

An indescribable sense of familiarity greeted us.

She trembled and reached out and carefully took out the note.

It's Hanshui Ji's spell, and she won't admit it.

Cold Water Hime......

Into the ......

Wu Yuangui ......

"Why did you come back?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Mu Wan trembled and turned his head stiffly. She felt that the joints all over her body were frozen, and she didn't move, they were all bitterly cold and painful.

"I ......"

"You see, you're not taking good care of your things. Luckily, my friend picked it up. You didn't even tell me about it at last night's dinner, were you afraid I would blame you? ”

Wu Yuangui's voice was so soft, just like when he used to speak to himself in a gentle voice.

But she was uncomfortable.

"No, it's not...... I was so happy yesterday that I forgot about it – I didn't mean to! ”

"I know. Do you still need it, though? He asked with a sideways face.

It was obviously noon, but Mu Wan was cold.

What about Xie Huayu and Xie Hualing? Aren't they together with Wu Yuan?

"Me, uh...... By the way, the senior brother who guarded the door said, you and ......"

"You shouldn't have come back."

He interrupted her, and the smile faded from his face.

"Why?"

"Because it was supposed to be just one death."

"W-What do you mean?"

"Are you looking for this letter?"

Wu Yuangui took out a piece of stationery, shook it open, and showed it to her as if he was wanted by the government. Even if he couldn't see the content on it clearly, Mu Wan decided at a glance that it was definitely not Yan Muxue's handwriting.

It was Wu Yuangui's imitation - she had seen it before.

"Why!" She burst out, "You broke the rules set by Master and didn't say anything, and you didn't plan to find him at all!" About Hanmizuhime...... Who is Cheng You? Why did he steal me—steal the Shikigami you gave me? What does he know and how much does he know? And why did you forge this letter into the handwriting of the senior sister, she, she has ...... And the left gate, you ......."

"Well, I made them kill." He said lightly.
