Why did those people do this?

Xia Jing pondered the reasons for the persecution of Anno's parents.

Could it be that he judged that the two of them would become fierce rivals, so he decided to strike first?

It feels a lot like what those people would do.

However, other possibilities are not ruled out.

In other words, perhaps the other side has launched a killing.

Shazi was worried about this possibility, so he told Xia Jing not to go out. The focus is not on Xia Jing's own safety, but on the next target, who may be Xia Jing's parents.

Basically, there is no interest at all in the other side taking such actions.

But, is Qiu Yin a person who cares about the gains and losses of interests? Even if she started the plan without thinking about it on the grounds that "I just want to put Xia Jing-san in pain", it is not surprising.

Therefore, Xia Jing decided to follow Shazi's instructions and stay at home.

Anno's condition is worrying, and it is said that she is currently in a state of speechlessness after being devastated. Although Xia Jing really wanted to visit her, he couldn't leave home rashly and lead to repeating Anno's mistakes.

The reason why Xia Jing, who was so determined, changed his mind and appeared in the Lost House was because of a text message he received later.

The sender is none other than Akiyin.

It is very concise: 'As long as you go to the Lost House, I will not endanger your family.'"

What she said was not trustworthy, but Xia Jing had nothing to do except obey her words. Because if you say it the other way around, it's like a threat, 'If you don't go to the lost house, I'm going to endanger your family.'"

After explaining the situation to Shazi, she sent several additional people to protect Xia Jing's family.

However, Autumn Yin will ask Xia Jing to go to the Lost House, which means that she intends to go there as well.

Because the path to the Lost House can't leak out, she can't get here, but she has to go out to meet it eventually. Therefore, it is likely that the battle will take place in the forest.

After coming to the Lost House, Xia Jing learned the details of Ah Ye and Anye.

This information was obtained by Lan Yang from Anno.

Ah Ye said that around 6 p.m., she received a call from Anno. After going to Anno's house to find out, he found Anno huddled in front of his father's body, but Anli's body could not be found anywhere. However, the carpet was stained with a large amount of blood that seemed to be left by An Li. So Ah Ye immediately contacted Shazi and took Anno into his home-

Through Ah Ye's dictation, it is obvious that the conclusion is that Anno's mother may still be alive in the world, and she is afraid that she has really died.

Leaves a trail of blood, but the body disappears into thin air.

This is the result of the sword.

Needy of Xia Jing, Ye Ya and the others have never actually killed the people of the clan with that treasure knife. Even so, it's not hard to imagine the consequences of leaving a wound that grows.

「…… Who's the one who did it?"

Xia Jing said. The sound echoed in the living room, which had been silent for a long time.

"Who the hell is going to kill Anno's parents?"

Ye Ya lowered his head and was silent. Lan Yang just glanced at Xia Jing wordlessly.

It was Lin Yu who asked a rhetorical question in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"The strength of the two of them is so strong, how can they be killed easily?"

Anno's father, An Shen, seems to have been stabbed in the heart with a short knife from behind.

「…… Could it be that people are unprepared?"

"Is it possible?"

That's right – there are a lot of doubts.

Ah Ye said that there was not even any trace of a fight in the room.

"Anno's parents were unsuspecting when they brought each other into the house, and then they were plotted. Judging by the situation, this is the only possibility...... The question is, who among the prosperity factions has a way to trick them into letting their guard down?"

Anye's parents recognized Nangong, Adai, Qiuyin, and Ale's face. Even the twins, as long as Anye's parents had the information and knew that they were Nangong's younger sisters and that they were around twelve or thirteen years old, it would be more than enough to deal with them.

"Or is there some kind of hiding that you can sneak up on?"

"No, I think...... Probably not. At least in my mind."

Basically, almost all the treasures belong to the family, in other words, they are all in the dark tomb of Anais. The Tibetan treasures held by the division are also in the hands of the family.

"Anai probably knows?"

As soon as Xia Jing asked, Anai shook his head.

"Nope. There is no such thing in the house, in all the things, in the treasures."

"Is there a hidden object that can make people invisible, or something like that?"

"Nope."

"Yes......

— If so, then why would they be so careless?

"It's my fault."

Suddenly—

Ye Ya hung his head and said in a low voice, "It's all because I missed and let the enemy snatch the sword, that's why this tragedy happened......

"Don't say such stupid things, Ya!"

Xia Jing reflexively refuted her claim.

"How could it be your responsibility, of course it's the murderer's fault!"

"But ......"

"Nothing good but."

The sense of responsibility forced Ye Ya to think negatively, and she had to try to make her change her emotions.

Xia Jing got up and walked to Ye Ya and squatted down, putting his hands on her shoulders.

"Besides, it's not about taking responsibility, is it? Even if you blame yourself in a depressed way, the facts will not change. Is it the chief's job to be responsible for regret? It's not like that."

"Summer ......"

"If you still feel guilty, I'll support you behind your back. So...... Let's forget about that for now. Looking ahead, now is not the time to be depressed."

Qiu Yin is coming soon—I'm afraid I'm still with Ah Le.

"I don't know their purpose yet...... But we have a battle to face. If you keep being depressed, you will become sluggish, and once you are sluggish, you will wait to be swallowed, and we cannot lose this battle. So...... You can't let yourself be depressed."

Xia Jing felt that his words were arrogant, and he didn't even dare to guarantee whether it was convincing or not.

But Ye Ya pondered for a while and then raised his head.

「…… It makes sense."

The light of determination was in her eyes.

"I don't want to see more people hurt."

"Good."

Xia Jing got up from the ground. He turned to face Lin Yu, Lan Yang, and Anai.

"It's a war meeting. If we want to fight in the forest, we need to work out a countermeasure as soon as possible."

The mystery of the death of Anno's parents will be discussed later. It would be in vain not to try to get through the difficulties that Aki Yin had come to make first, so it was necessary to confirm the tacit understanding of the team in advance.

The goal is to repel the enemy or capture them alive. The most important thing is that if there is a chance – no, if you can do that, it will be a great success – you must recover the sword and not let more victims appear.

The meeting began under the leadership of Xia Jing.

He came up with several ways to fight and provide comments on how to act efficiently, how to fight, and how to win in the end. There are a total of five combat powers, and Lan Yang must also join the battle.

The discussion ended after 10 minutes. After all, laymen who don't expect combat to come up with any miracles, and everyone's abilities are different and different. Since there is a premise of not killing, there is naturally only one option left in the equation of victory, and the combat adopts an orthodox style.

Fortunately, today is the full moon, and the moonlight spills into the forest, and Xia Jing is also spared the pain of the dark operation. It's just that the clan that showed his true skills is still not an opponent that he can deal with alone, so he decided to let Anai help protect him. Although Anai is not allowed to meddle in the duel between the clans, it is not a problem to escape with Xia Jing in his arms.

Then, just as he had predicted when the meeting would end, Lan Yang's cell phone rang.

It was Nangong who called, and she designated the meeting place on the phone. She said that if she didn't go as promised, she would set fire to the mountain.

- Ignore her threats, it's a foregone conclusion anyway.

So Xia Jing and the others left the lost house with weapons.

At the same time, I swore in my heart that I would definitely come back here alive.

At the same moment when Xia Jing and the others left the Lost House.

The Autumn Men have appeared in the forest.

Accompanied by a step pick.

Originally, her responsibility was only to try to get Xia Jing to go to the Lost House, and she was not included in the attack. It's purely her own decision to come here.

There are two reasons for disobedience.

One is that she wants to clarify her intentions.

A series of plans carried out after the deer tribe's village was attacked by fire, Qiu Yin, Nangong, and Ah Le all participated. Although they have the same goals, they have different calculations when it comes to the reasons.

Ah Le should be to avenge the revenge of seventeen years ago. Qiu Yin ostensibly obeys Ah Le, but in fact, the purpose is to win the summer scene...... For Qiu Yin, only Nangong's purpose is not very clear, and there are many mysteries. What secrets she was hiding, Qiu Yin was very curious.

As for the other reason, it is nothing more than Qiu Yin's own purpose - Xia Jing.

Nangong has never shown a clear position on how to deal with Xia Jing. Whether to kill or release, the attitude is still ambiguous, and the actions are contradictory everywhere.

Qiu Yin knew that when Nangong entered Shinoda Hospital, he really wanted Xia Jing's life. However, when she was defeated by Xia Jing, she was so excited about revenge that she couldn't give up on her personality.

Was she just bluffing at the hospital? Or is it just looking forward to today?

In any case, if Nangong had the intention of murdering Jingsuke, then he would definitely have to come forward to stop it.

Interfering in the internal coaxing of the Deer Clan is just a pastime for Qiu Yin. Now there is a far more important person in her heart than that, and she will never allow Xia Jing to be snatched away by monsters.

Qiu Yin hadn't heard where the gang was going to fight in the forest, but once the battle started, Bu Ji would notice it and help lead the way. If there is really a case, you can call and ask Xia Jing.

The clouds that had covered the sky had long since dissipated, and the night was as bright as day with a great full moon. It's also interesting to look at his lovely face in the moonlight—Qiu Yin thought to herself as she waited in the forest for that moment to come.

The designated location is a stream about 200 meters away from the Lost House.

The other party will blow the whistle as a signal to guide the way. For Xia Jing, even if the other party blows the whistle and guides, it is still a big question whether he can reach a specific location. However, in the cognition of the deer clan, it seems to be very natural. They have received that kind of training since childhood.

The most important thing to guard against is a surprise attack.

Although Nangong did not forget to kindly predict that there were three of them going, it was very likely to be a trap.

Moreover, if you follow the signal carelessly, there is no guarantee that the opponent will not launch a round of onslaught from the side. If the opponent is Ah Dai or Ah Ye, there may not be such a worry, but once it is Nangong and Qiu Yin, the Lu Clan's upright personality in everything may not be confirmed in them.

But the result was disheartening, and there was no sign of the other party setting a trap or ambush along the way, negating Xia Jing's doubts.

The group was led by Lin Yu, who had the best hearing, and walked all the way for about ten minutes.

Xia Jing and the others met Nangong, who was waiting for work at ease, on a flat land with sparse trees and a slightly wide terrain.

Next to them were the twins.

As far as they could see, Ah Le and Qiu Yin were not present. Will they hide first?

They stopped five meters in front of Nangong.

"Hey, good night."

Nangong was the first to speak.

Ye Ya took a step towards her.

「…… It's been a long time."

No matter how excited he was in his heart, Ye Ya still resolutely showed a fearless attitude at this moment.

Seeing her appearance, Nangong showed a mocking smile: "Hmph...... After suffering so much stuffiness, you still have a way to pretend to have such a high face. The thickness of your cheeks is really staggering, and I am angry when I see your arrogant appearance."

Ye Ya's gaze became grim and glared at Nangong.

"Let me ask you, is the death of An Li and An Shen your poisonous hands?"

"Giggle...... Guess what?"

Nangong made a provocative statement.

"What if yes? Are you going to kill us?"

"Kill? I don't care about that kind of vile behavior! However, I won't let you go because of this. I...... You will be made to pay for your deeds."

Ye Ya took a posture and took out the silver sword from his arms.

Nangong was holding an axe gun with a Western-style appearance and a Japanese pattern engraved on it.

According to the information that Lin Yu had just revealed, this weapon could control the weight of the blade and increase the destructive power of a single blow.

The two confronted each other, apparently determined to fight.

Xia Jing was calculating in his head.

- What now?

At the moment, the most instructive thing is led by Ah Le - other people who have not yet appeared.

Are they planning to kill halfway? Just thinking about it doesn't help. In short, at this stage, there is no other way than to be careful to guard against the back.

For Nangong, Xia Jing had a lot of questions that she wanted to ask her clearly, so it was not impossible to continue the conversation. But she may not be willing to answer head-on, and Ye Ya may also be provoked by her answer to provoke unnecessary anger, and now Ye Ya is in danger of losing her cool and being carried away by anger.

Otherwise, do you want to let them fight silently? There were also hesitations in this decision.

Because of the characteristics, it will be more convenient for Ye Ya and Nangong to fight. I heard that Nangong had been repaired by the sand that used this treasure.

Xia Jing glanced at the twins behind Nangong.

At first glance, it seems that they are unarmed, should they let Lan Yang and Lin Yu deal with the two of them?

"Senior Sister Lanyang, Lin Yu."

Xia Jing lowered his voice.

"Do you have a way to clean up the twins?"

"Please don't underestimate us, Brother Xia Jing."

Lin Yu exuded a beastly aura and sneered.

"Sister Lanyang has received my strict training."

「…… Really?"

It seems that the two of them have secretly conducted special training without Xia Jing.

Although Lin Yu was as old as her, she was out of control at every turn and acted carelessly, but Lan Yang should have stopped her in due time.
