Chapter 112: Rivalry
readx;
Hearing the fat old man's words, the faces of the other mentors were stunned for a moment, and then they frowned and fell into deep thought. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info And after just a few minutes, everyone's brains were like a trance, and suddenly they understood something, looking at Xu Yan's gaze, and gradually became a little more strangely hostile.
They had heard their disciples occasionally mention Xu Yan's whereabouts before, but they didn't pay attention to it, but now, after the fat old man mentioned it, these scattered memory fragments in their minds were slowly connected, and finally, they formed an astonishing conclusion. That is, the deaths of Xue Lun and Shen Liang, and the young man not far away, seem to have some vague and subtle connections.
Opposite everyone, Old Man Yun's face was slowly gloomy, and his heart gradually became worried. He understood very well that the fat old man chose to mention those things at this moment, obviously to punish Xu Yan for his crimes and put Xu Yan to death completely.
In the sleeve robe, his fists were slowly clenched, Xu Yan raised his head, and his gaze slowly swept over the faces of everyone present. The hostility and resentment on everyone's faces were clearly in his eyes. After a while, he took a slow breath, put down the Xiao tear bamboo in his arms, looked at the fat old man indifferently, and smiled: "This mentor, I don't know what you're talking about. ”
"Hard-mouthed boy. Hearing this, the cold glint in the fat old man's face was even more obvious, he turned his head slightly, looked at Xiao Chen's mentor, and said in a gloomy voice: "Mentor Hai, tell me about it." ”
The fat old man's words immediately drew everyone's attention to Xiao Chen's mentor. At this moment, the latter's eyes were red, like a mad beast, and he had obviously not recovered from the shadow of his disciple's death.
"Mentor Hai!" Seeing the other party's sluggish appearance, the fat old man's heart couldn't help but be even more angry, his brows furrowed slightly, so he had to raise his voice and snort.
When the shouts fell, Master Hai's body shook suddenly, and the memory in his mind spun for a moment, and then he said in a hoarse voice: "Since Xiao Chen returned from the back mountain a month ago, it has been very wrong, not only is he in a trance, but even his cultivation has become a little slack. Although I asked him more than once why, he would only shake his head in horror and would not say anything more. There is only one way to explain this strange situation, and that is that he was greatly frightened. If he tells the reason, I'm afraid it will put his life at risk. ”
"The most important thing is that from that day on, Xue Lun, who was originally traveling with him, has never appeared again!" Staring at Xu Yan with his eyes fixed, Mentor Hai suppressed the anger in his heart, and his voice suddenly became sharp: "And as far as I know, you, Xu Yan, once abolished Xue Lun's younger brother with your own hands at the Yanmen enrollment ceremony. So, there is an endless contradiction between the two of you, combined with the fact that you often go in and out of the back mountain. Therefore, Xue Lun's death, you are the most suspicious!"
"Moreover, Song Liang's corpse, when it was discovered, was not far from this cave where you cultivated. When so many coincidences are combined, it is no longer a coincidence, but a completely definite conclusion, that is you, Xu Yan, the murderer of these two people!" As soon as Master Hai's words fell, the fat old man on the side added with a smile.
The two sang and harmonized, but they did not leak any speculation. And under such a logical reasoning, everyone in the field can almost completely believe that the young man in front of him, who set off countless storms as soon as he entered the academy, is the culprit of this series of things!
Beside Xu Yan, Old Man Yun's face was gloomy and terrifying. But for a moment, he couldn't find any words to refute these people's speculations.
The atmosphere in the field was a little tense for a while, and faintly, you could smell a faint smell of gunpowder.
"Hmph, a bunch of things that rely on the old and sell the old, so embarrassing for the juniors, even the old man feels that his face is dull. Relying on more people to bully fewer people?" Just when the atmosphere was a little deadlocked, a disdainful old voice suddenly sounded, and then, on the other side of Xu Yan's body, an old man slowly emerged.
"Old man Shen?" The old man who suddenly appeared made the fat old man's pupils shrink slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in a dark voice: "This matter has nothing to do with you, right?"
"The old man just can't get used to you bullying people with more people, and the other party is still a young man. Old man Shen rolled his eyelids and replied indifferently.
Hearing this, the fat on the fat old man's face twitched for a while, but now was not the time to fight, so he simply ignored the old man Shen who suddenly stirred up the situation, and as soon as the words changed, he looked at Xu Yan, and his voice was aggressive: "Xu Yan, what I said, do you dare to admit it?"
As his questioning fell, the young man not far away once again became the focus of everyone's attention. It's just that what surprised them was that even in the face of heavy pressure, Xu Yan's face was still indifferent, like a sculpture, and it seemed that he would never reveal his inner thoughts in his original form.
Sighing softly, Xu Yan ignored these needle-like eyes, shook his head with a light smile, and said, "According to what you say, I really can't get rid of suspicion." ”
"Because you're the murderer. No matter how much you quibble, it is in vain. Hearing Xu Yan's words, the smile on the fat old man's face became even stronger, but the smile was mixed with an obvious gloomy and murderous aura.
"Okay. I admit it" rubbed his forehead helplessly, Xu Yan sighed slightly, and said seemingly compromised.
And his words, falling on the ears of the fat old man and the others, made their eyes suddenly light up, and the murderous intent in their hearts became stronger and stronger. As long as this kid confesses, then even if Old Man Yun and Old Man Shen are protecting him, they can correct him on the spot in the name of righteousness!
However, just as the battle qi in these people's bodies was surging, the corners of Xu Yan's mouth suddenly outlined a slight arc, and the abrupt words suddenly made the bodies of the mentors who were ready to go stiffen.
"I'll admit that you're very good at speculation, but speculation is always speculation, and without evidence, it's nothing more than a bunch of. ”
"Hmph!" The old man's face trembled slightly, and the smile on the fat old man's face was instantly replaced by gloom, and he shouted: "When death is coming, do you still want to quibble?"
"You don't have any evidence, just because I frequently enter the back mountain, and it happens that the two of them died here, you judge me as a murderer, in this way, don't you feel arbitrary?"
"Ridiculous, is the old man that kind of despicable person?" the old man's face changed slightly, and the fat old man waved his sleeve robe, and snorted coldly with duplicity.
He shook his head with a light smile, but Xu Yan was too lazy to debunk the true thoughts in the fat old man's heart, his eyes swept over everyone, and his voice was flat: "Teachers, your disciples today were indeed injured by me, and that Xiao Chen was indeed killed by me." It's just that they are to blame for all this. Everyone knows that when cultivating, it is most taboo for others to forcibly interfere. And they know this taboo, but they still violate it, which is already an unforgivable sin. On top of that, they also have bad intentions towards my female companion. If I hadn't woken up in time, I'm afraid it would have been a tragedy by now. Therefore, what I am doing today is only out of self-defense. If you add a crime to me about this, then I, Xu Yan, will not be convinced!"
