My footsteps stopped suddenly, and I quickly turned back, Lu Ziyi screamed like this, obviously something was wrong.

As soon as I walked outside the study, Lu Ziyi rushed out of the inside with a frightened face, and just bumped into my arms, I hugged Lu Ziyi and asked her, "Ziyi, what's going on?" ”

As soon as Lu Ziyi looked up and saw that it was me, she immediately pushed me away, looked at me with a frightened face and said, "Grandpa...... Grandpa is dead! ”

"What?!" I was shocked, how could this be possible, I just left Old Man Lu's room, he was fine, how could it be that in the blink of an eye, he died? I quickly pushed open the door of the study and walked in, and sure enough, a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of Old Man Lu's mouth, which fell on the futon, and there was a dagger stuck in his chest, which was very sharp, and it should have pierced his heart at once.

Old man Lu's eyes widened, his pupils dilated, I tried his heartbeat, he was really dead, but the body was still hot, proving that he had just died. This dagger also has an extremely strong poison on it, which can kill people in an instant.

I immediately looked at the room warily, this study is quite large, but there is nothing else in it except bookshelves, coffee tables, sofas. I hurriedly went to the window to check, the window was open, could it be that the murderer was lurking in from outside the window to kill people?

But this is almost impossible, although Old Man Lu's cultivation is not a strong person, but it is also a great consummation of the Qi Transformation Realm, how could he be killed quietly.

There is only one possibility, the person who started the attack is a person who is extremely familiar to Mr. Lu, and suddenly the killer is killed, the sharp dagger pierces the heart, the murderer is worried that he can't kill Mr. Lu in an instant, and he also adds poison to the dagger, under the double guarantee, the time from life to death of Mr. Lu should be extremely fast.

At this time, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the study, and then, Lu Minghua, Lu Mingpeng, Lu Yuan, Lu Zixin, Lu Cangxue and other core members of the Lu family all entered the room and saw that Old Man Lu was dead, and everyone was sad. Lu Zixin asked me, "Brother Ling Xiao, why are you here?" ”

I said: "I originally came to pick up Xiaodouzi and them, but I quietly came to see Mr. Lu, who knew that as soon as I left, Mr. Lu was plotted by someone." ”

Lu Zixin said with red eyes: "Then do you see someone's hand?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I didn't see it, the murderer's cultivation is extremely high, and he can actually kill people under my nose and easily escape, this person is not simple!" ”

Lu Cangxue kept crying while holding the corpse of Old Man Lu, but because she was dumb, she could only make a hoarse voice, which made me feel very heartbroken. I walked over to comfort everyone and said, "Old Man Lu left a little suddenly, and everyone mourned. ”

Lu Minghua said: "I heard Ziyi say that you were also present at the time, what is going on?" "I told me about the situation, and I didn't hide it, even though I knew that if I said that, I would be suspicious. Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, Lu Mingpeng frowned and said, "Wait a while, you mean, you just finished talking to my dad and left, and you met Ziyi when you went out, Ziyi found that her father was killed after entering the door, and the time before and after this should not exceed a minute, right?" ”

I nodded, and Lu Mingpeng continued: "In other words, the last person to see my father is you, then you, as a senior disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, come and tell me, in one minute, who can come in and kill my father under your nose, and let him have no backhand, without any movement?" ”

I frowned and said, "Second family master, I understand what you mean, you suspect me of being a murderer, right?" ”

Lu Mingpeng said coldly: "I'm not suspicious, and I'm sure!" Only you have a chance to do it, otherwise you will tell me, what is going on? As soon as Lu Mingpeng said this, everyone focused on me, and I suddenly felt at a loss, and even Lu Cangxue's eyes when she looked at me changed a little.

Lu Zixin pulled my sleeve and said, "Brother Ling Xiao, you tell me that you didn't kill grandpa." ”

The corners of my mouth twitched slightly and said, "I said, I didn't kill the old man, do you believe it?" Lu Zixin bit her lip tightly, with tears in her eyes, unable to speak, I am saying this to Lu Zixin, and I am also saying it to Lu Cangxue, I am not afraid of people misunderstanding, I am only afraid of being misunderstood by people who care about it in my heart.

Lu Mingpeng snorted coldly: "Shut up!" Ling Xiao, our Lu family treats you well, today on Qingcheng Mountain, you were pointed out by thousands of people, our Lu family stood up to speak for you and defend you, but I didn't expect that you would take revenge! It seems that what Yuyang Zhenren said is true, you really colluded with the Demon Gate, but unfortunately, we were all blind and didn't see your true face clearly. If it weren't for Ziyi coming to deliver snacks, you just happened to encounter this scene, you really did it seamlessly, no one would have thought that you did it. ”

In the face of Lu Mingpeng's accusation, my heart was full of chills, and everything at the moment was indeed unfavorable to me. I took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, I just want to say one thing, Old Man Lu treats me well, why should I kill him?" What's in it for me to kill him? ”

Everyone didn't speak, but Lu Mingpeng said: "Of course there are benefits!" Isn't the purpose of your Demon Gate to destroy the Qingcheng faction and the Daomen family in Rongcheng? The Fang family is just the beginning. Last night at Fang's house, we met that weird person, I was very puzzled at the time, with your strength, how could you not beat him, but you let him go, it turned out to be an accomplice! ”

It is very difficult for people to establish trust, but it is easy to destroy trust, Lu Mingpeng was very good to me, the death of Old Man Lu, I suddenly saw in his eyes, everything has a purpose!

I shook my head and smiled bitterly, and Lu Minghua said in a deep voice: "Ling Xiao, I really didn't expect that you would be this kind of person." The revenge of killing your father is not shared, today, our Lu family will never give up with you. ”

All of a sudden, I was pointed at again, and all the eyes that looked at me were angry, hateful, and disappointed. Everyone was about to move, at this time Lu Cangxue suddenly squeezed in front of me, blocking everyone behind her, she cried like a tearful person, her eyes were red, she couldn't make a sound, she could only ask me with her lips, whether I killed Old Man Lu or not.

I looked at Lu Cangxue and said, "Do you believe me? ”

She nodded and shook her head, and I couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating voice and said, "I came to find Old Man Lu tonight to tell him that I want to take you away." The old man promised me to let me take you away, do you know how happy I am? I'm going to come to you, do you think I'm going to kill Old Man Lu? Cangxue, trust me, okay? ”

Lu Cangxue cried silently, and Lu Mingpeng suddenly pulled Lu Cangxue to the back and said, "Enough!" Ling Xiao, you don't have to act anymore, Ziyi, you come out and tell everyone what you just saw. ”

Lu Ziyi walked out of the crowd with tears in her eyes, she lowered her head, as if she was a little afraid of me, I said, "Ziyi, tell the truth." ”

Lu Ziyi's voice was a little weak: "When I was sending snacks to my grandfather, I happened to meet Ling Xiao walking out of my grandfather's room, looking a little flustered, and he told me that my grandfather had already rested, so there was no need to send snacks." But I knew that my grandfather had to eat snacks every day before resting, so I insisted on going in to see, and when I went in, I just saw my grandfather lying in a pool of blood. ”

After listening to Lu Ziyi's words, I immediately became angry and said, "Lu Ziyi, how can you wronged me? I didn't say those words to you at all, you tell everyone, you tell the truth! ”

Lu Ziyi seemed to be frightened by me, and fainted directly, Lu Mingpeng blocked in front of me and said, "Ling Xiao, you are enough!" What do you want to do now? Ziyi has always admired you, she will never lie and slander you, right? The disciples of the Lu family listened to the order and took down Ling Xiao! ”

In an instant, all the children of the Lu family surrounded me, I squinted my eyes, my gaze slowly swept over, Lu Ziyi cried and shook her head and said, "No, why is this happening." ”

And Lu Cangxue squeezed through the crowd and rushed up, ignoring Lu Minghua and Lu Mingpeng's obstruction, and walked in front of me.
