Chapter 80: She's a Hidden Master
Si Yan walked among the rockeries with a long sword in his hand, the faint smell of blood wafted into his nose, and the sound of running water covered his steps. The steps are a little moistened with moisture and slightly soft to step on.
Not far in front of him, a corpse lay lifeless on the ground, a river of blood flowing from under him, soaking into the ground, and the color changed from bright red to dark red.
Si Yan stopped in front of the corpse, and was about to squat down when a footstep sounded in his ears, and after a while, a familiar voice sounded.
"Virtuous nephew, you are indeed here."
Si Yan looked sideways, and glanced lightly at Father Jiang who came out from behind the rockery, his eyes were cold and he didn't say anything, and he didn't go to investigate the corpse again.
"Nephew, you can come here to explain that you still have some doubts about this matter. The reason why I am waiting here is also to make it clear to you and explain the misunderstanding. ”
This big disciple of Tianjimen has a cold temperament, and he understood from the first sight of Father Jiang, Father Jiang was not dissatisfied with his unreasonableness, on the contrary, he admired Si Yan very much, not only in terms of martial arts attainments, but also in the kind of rationality that others did not have and the arbitrary temperament that insisted on self-judgment.
He thought that if Jiang Qiao had half of Si Yan's characterization, it would not be possible to end up destroying himself.
"I think the Jade Sect Lord misunderstood, I came here just to see if you had disposed of the corpse, and now it seems that the Jade Sect Master has a lot of thoughts." Si Yan didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, and took the sword and raised his foot to let him pass over the corpse.
How could he let him go easily, Father Jiang stepped forward, "Virtuous nephew, you don't doubt that Lou girl at all?" ”
Si Yan's footsteps did not stop, as if he had never heard of it.
"I know that Miss Lou is the person you saved from the Jacaranda Palace, I didn't want to guess anything for no reason, if it weren't for her nonsense and slandering my reputation today, I wouldn't have deliberately looked for clues."
Speaking of the word clue, Father Jiang obviously saw a stagnation in Si Yan's footsteps that was almost invisible. So he hurriedly continued to add firewood to the fire, "Virtuous nephew, there is no one else here, so I don't have to hide it." I never thought about getting involved with Miss Lou's mind, she is indeed extremely beautiful, so beautiful that most people want to take it for themselves. ”
Hearing this, Si Yan's hand holding the sword involuntarily tightened a little.
"Why did I let Jiang Cong intercept her, in fact, I wanted to kill her so that I could have a companion under the Jiangqiao Underground River. I know my son's temperament too well, how can I not be tempted when I see such a beauty, and I vaguely suspect that his defeat has something to do with Lou Qingqing. ”
"I wouldn't believe that with my son's martial arts, I would lose to a set of frost swordsmanship, which I have no evidence of, but it is impossible for me to believe it." In the end, Father Jiang's tone became angry.
He can't avenge his son, for the sake of interests and harmony between sects, he can only watch his son die unjustly. He is unwilling and powerless, so he can only choose to vent his resentment on another person.
Undoubtedly, that person is Lou Qingqing.
"Originally, I was still thinking that Jiang Shaoxia would not be greedy to this point, but now listening to the words of the Jade Sect Master has made me understand a lot, it turns out that I think about human greed shallowly." Si Yan turned around with a cold expression.
As Lou Qingqing said, she has always been entangled in the fact that Jiang Qiao would not do anything reckless for the sake of momentary pleasure, but when she heard Jiang Qiao stalking her, she heard the information from Jiang's father's mouth.
He was vaguely convinced!
Father Jiang's body was stunned suddenly, he understood what Si Yan meant, that is, because he understood him, he suddenly woke up. He originally wanted to explain the matter clearly, but he didn't expect to shake out his son's misbehavior.
"Virtuous nephew, although my son is greedy, not everyone can make him reckless. In my opinion, Miss Taoning's appearance was not enough to put him in danger. Father Jiang immediately defended.
Si Yan was unmoved, holding the Yuhua Sword and looking at him quietly, there was no wave in his eyes.
When Father Jiang saw him like this, his heart was bottomless.
Although he is the master of the Jade Void Gate, the status of the Jade Void Gate in the rivers and lakes has no so-called right to speak at all, and it is simply a world of difference compared to the Tianji Gate.
From the perspective of martial arts, the only thing that Tianjimen can compare with in the rivers and lakes is the Jacaranda Palace. One good and one evil restricts each other, and they can't compare with each other.
Just like Si Yan, the eldest disciple in front of him, it is said that he is uniquely talented, and he surpassed Jiang Huatian's achievements when he was a teenager at a young age, and it is difficult for Jiang's father to say that he can defeat him with absolute certainty.
"Virtuous nephew, on the matter, I think Miss Lou has a lot of doubts. When I say this, it is not all out of personal grudges, but for the safety of Tianjimen and for the sake of not implicating your nephew. Father Jiang changed the subject.
He is powerless in Jiangqiao's affairs, and no matter how much he mentions, it will only increase his sadness.
Si Yan's gaze moved from Father Jiang to the corpse on the ground, and his thin lips finally opened slightly, "I don't know where the suspicion of the Jade Sect Master is?" ”
"It's on Jiang Cong." Father Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, he walked to the corpse and squatted down, stretched out his finger and pointed to the wound on Jiang's chest and continued, "Virtuous nephew, you should know that a sword can take a person's life and the strength and angle are impartial, and being able to do this is enough to show that the person who killed him has a very good martial arts foundation." ”
"But as far as I know, Lou Qingqing's martial arts seem to have been abolished, and even if he gets the opportunity in the Heavenly Machine Gate, it is impossible to reach such a level in a short period of time. Moreover, Jiang Cong is my right-hand man. His martial arts are definitely not something that Lou Qingqing can dodge, and he will definitely go all out if I make a fate. ”
"According to the situation at the time, Jiang Cong should have entangled and fought with the red sleeves first, and then took advantage of the gap to surprise Lou Qingqing's sneak attack, that is, this sneak attack was killed by Lou Qingqing with one blow."
Si Yan walked over, his eyes sweeping to the only remaining traces of the fight on the ground. He could somewhat judge some of the situation from these signs, there were relatively messy footprints of two people in the front, and from the steps between the two entangled.
The person who can make Jiang Cong unable to get out is only red sleeves between the two.
There was a very clear step in the middle of the road, judging from the position of Jiang Cong's death, the reason why he wanted to come from this direction at that time was definitely not to dodge, since it was not to dodge, it was bound to come towards the target task, and this target person was Lou Qingqing.
Through a series of judgments, Lou Qingqing was standing at the opposite fake stone at that time, and at the same time, the two vaguely imprinted footprints also confirmed this.
Jiang Cong should have stabbed at Lou Qingqing with a soft sword, maybe there was a situation he didn't expect, so he suddenly stopped at a distance of less than half an inch from her.
It can be seen from his offset pace that he chose to dodge as soon as he discovered this problem, and the final result is self-evident, even if he dodged, he did not escape.
His soft sword was snatched from him, and he used it to end his life. The man who killed him was neat, crisp, and extremely skilled, and there were all signs that this man was a veteran.
