Chapter 20: Muddy Waters

"Ling Si'er was killed!" Ling Xiao said again.

"Oh, this news is better than the previous one."

Ling Yu didn't even raise his head, and his reaction was surprisingly flat, as if he heard that it was an ant who died.

"Don't you want to know who killed him?"

"What? Could it be that there was a clue so soon? β€œ

Ling Xiao shook his head: "Then there is something that has found the murderer so quickly, but there is something that seems very weird?"

"What's the matter?"

"Under the bed of Ling Si'er's death, a storage bag supervised by Xuancao Hall was found."

"What's weird about this, it may be that he killed the Xuancao Hall supervisor, so won't the Xuancao Tang case be solved?"

On the surface, it seems to be so. In fact, if you look closely at this murder case, it is difficult to establish a connection between them. It's more like someone is deliberately doing this, making people think that they are taking revenge on each other and killing each other? β€œ

"Someone designed this?" Ling Yu became interested.

"Yes, I suspect that someone is trying to lead us to live on two hostile forces.

Originally, the Xuancaotang case was an independent case, and there was the murder of Ling Si'er, but the two cases became complicated.

The Xuancaotang case had already involved the Great Elder, and now that a person from the Third Elder had died, whether the connection between the two was established or not, the hostile relationship between the two had been established. β€œ

"Then why does my father say that the two are not necessarily related?"

"I don't have direct evidence that the two are not related, it's just that the two happened too coincidentally, and no one criminal would make things so obvious, so I prefer that someone is behind the scenes and deliberately leads us down the wrong path."

"Did Father tell the Great Elder about this idea?"

Ling Xiao shook his head: "I said, I am not completely sure, so I only told the Great Elder the judgment that everyone thought was right."

"I see." Ling Yu seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

"Ling Si'er is the third level of Xuan Qi, and the supervision of the Xuan Cao Hall is level four, and the assassination sneak attack is able to kill an unprepared opponent of the first order.

But the problem is that Ling Si'er has alibi evidence, he was still on a mission outside the city at that time, could it be that he sneaked back to Xingyue City to kill a 'rival in love'?

And as far as I know, Ling Si'er is alone, there is no woman, and he usually has no scraping with the supervision of Xuancaotang, why did he kill him? β€œ

Ling Yu had to admire his father's analytical ability, he believed that if his father investigated carefully, he would definitely be able to find out:

The person who killed these two people was actually one person, and it was him Ling Yu!

The contradiction between the Great Elder and the Third Elder, Ling Yu had an understanding of his father's Xuancao Hall case analysis diagram, and he knew that a battle between them was inevitable!

However, Ling Yu did not feel that the pond fish was in trouble because of this, but felt that this was a great opportunity and must be used well.

My father has been a city lord for so many years, but he is just working hard for a few elders.

Not to mention that the real benefits have not been much, they are still being suppressed by all forces!

This kind of aggrieved days, my father can endure it for the sake of this family, and now Ling Yu will never endure it anymore...

Ling Yu knew that with his current strength, he could not compete with any of the forces. But if you can use one side of the force to attack the other side, and only fan the fire in the middle, the effect will be very different.

When Ling Yu took out the supervision of Xuancao Hall, after hearing that this small role would cause a competition between the two forces, he had the idea of making the water even more muddy.

In order to get rid of suspicion, Ling Yu deliberately let Ling Si'er beat himself as a 'serious injury', and even his father hid it.

Ling Si'er's death was orchestrated by Ling Yu.

Originally, this Ling Si'er could have escaped death, but it was a pity that he let Ling Yu know that he was the third elder's person.

Therefore, Ling Yu revised the plan, killed Ling Si'er, and planted the dirt for him!

Not to mention diverting everyone's attention, it will also make the Great Elder and the Third Elder suspicious of each other, until the two sides reach the point of making a move...

The previous plan was still in Ling Yu's control, but the marriage of the Great Elder was beyond Ling Yu's expectations.

However, it didn't affect his plans, but his idea of being behind the scenes was ruined.

Once the marriage is announced, Ling Yu will become the target of public criticism again.

This time, the eye-catching is no longer his former identity as a young genius, but Ling Shuang'er's identity as her fiancΓ©.

The current Ling Yu is completely regarded as a wasted person, and any child of a second-level Xuanqi clan can bully her to the point that she has no temper!

Who can tolerate him sitting on such a beauty?

Ling Yu knew that this time he couldn't keep a low profile, those who were jealous of him and went crazy had eaten his heart.

At this time, Ling Yu could only sigh helplessly, which also showed that God's eyes were open.

Even if the matter was caused by him, it was up to him to solve it, and if he wanted to hide and watch the excitement, there was no door!

"Will my father get to the bottom of these two cases?"

"No, neither case will have an impact on the existing situation.

It only depends on the will of both sides of the war. If the two sides don't want to go to war, these two cases will be turned into small and small.

If you want to go to war, you don't need me to investigate, both cases will have results, and the evidence is conclusive, as an excuse for going to war. β€œ

"How likely does my father think war is?"

"Five-five, the Xuancaotang case should be an accidental event, not premeditated.

So I don't think either side is fully prepared.

The Great Elder's side just felt that the more this matter dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for him, so it was also a hasty preparation. β€œ

"Which side has a better chance of winning?"

"Third Elder, otherwise the Great Elder wouldn't have come to us..."

After listening to his father's analysis, Ling Yu also had his own judgment.

He is still regarded as a waste material, and the danger factor is not high.

Before attracting the attention of others, we should take the existing cultivation further.

In the future, even if both sides are ready to come to a life-and-death battle, he will have the power to protect himself.

As for other things, they are still secondary.

Ling Yu's current true cultivation was the fourth level of Xuan Qi.

The 30,000 Xuan Stones and a large number of medicinal herbs he brought back after the burning of the Xuancao Hall provided strong support for Ling Yu's promotion from the third level to the fourth level.

Advancing from the third level to the fourth level is a stage bottleneck in the cultivation of Xuan Qi, and it is quite difficult to break through.

Even with Ling Yu's talent, without the assistance of enough Xuanshi and medicinal herbs, I am afraid it would take two years to do it.

This time, it was the Xingyu aura that played a role in the Guanqian nature.

Compared to the Xuan Qi cultivated by Ling Yu at this stage, it was not pure enough, and it had reached the standard of being able to advance to the fourth level of Xuan Qi.

No matter how Ling Yu hits, he can't break through the bottleneck and advance to the fourth level of Xuan Qi!

In the end, it was Ling Yu who used the power of the Spiritual Qi Silk to break through the bottleneck of the third level to the fourth level, and officially advanced to the fourth level of Xuan Qi!
