After returning to the He family, Chen He couldn't have imagined that Xue Ruhai was calm and calm, sitting in the hall of the He family, waiting for him to return. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Brother Chen He, this time in order to bring out the behind-the-scenes financier, I was really offended just now. Xue Ruhai smiled all over his face, and said politely to Chen He, who was angry.

In the blink of an eye, the two were still fighting for life and death, but in the blink of an eye, they wanted to raise their eyebrows. Of course, no one believed Xue Ruhai's nonsense, but he said it with confidence.

This sub-city is deeper than Xiuwei's hidden, and the role it plays in the whole thing is probably not simple.

"Xue Ruhai, you killed Chen He in the underground palace, not just to lure out the behind-the-scenes financier, right?" He Bichen looked angry, looked at Xue Ruhai coldly, and asked loudly.

"Bi Chen, you misunderstood me. One day you will understand that everything I do is with good intentions. Xue Ruhai didn't care at all, looked at He Bichen gently, and said calmly.

He Bichen was originally not disgusted with Xue Ruhai, but he was only angry because Chen He was in danger, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw this.

"You have good intentions, aren't you planning to frame Wan Jia with the corpse of an assassin to deal with me and Wan Youlong?" Chen He was even more angry, and asked angrily.

"Brother Chen He, you are still an outsider, you don't know the inside story of the matter at all, it's better not to speculate. Xue Ruhai's face remained unchanged, looking at Chen He, who was bright, and said calmly.

When Chen He heard this, although he was very unhappy in his heart, he saw that He Bichen had been silent, and knew that there was something else hidden in the matter, so he had no choice but not to continue to investigate.

"Actually, I came here this time, one is to apologize to Brother Chen He, and the other is to know what the lore footprints that appeared in the dungeon are coming from. Xue Ruhai's tone changed, and he said.

"The owner of the lore footprint is the financier behind the assassination, but it is only involved in the internal affairs of the He family, and the clan is further investigating, so don't bother the Xue family. He Bichen replied lightly.

"Oh, it turns out to be an internal affair of the He family, so it's best to do this. Xue Ruhai pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said with his head bowed.

The assassination has developed to this point, and it seems that it has come to an end.

It's just that the He family still can't trigger it, so that everyone understands in their hearts that everything is just a prelude to the storm.

The real purpose of Xue Ruhai's trip is probably to test the attitude of the He family, and he should already know the identity of the gold owner.

Chen He wanted to continue to ask about the relationship between Xue Ruhai and the half-corpse zombie Luo Daao, but when he thought about it, the time was not ripe, so he didn't speak.

Since someone has set up a chess game, as a member of the chess game, there will definitely be a chance to find out the truth in the future.

After Xue Ruhai left, Chen He and He Bichen were immediately summoned by the Council of Elders.

The two hurried to the He family's ancestral hall to meet the core forces of the He family, the five respected elders of the Council of Elders.

He Bichen's patriarch and grandfather, He Jie, an old man dressed in gray, was sitting majestically in the middle of the elders.

And He Tian, who appeared in the underground palace, sat next to him.

Coupled with the other three who rarely showed up, all five elders were already in place at this moment.

"Bi Chen, Chen He, the ancestral hall is full of his own people, and some things will be said to you directly. He Jie looked majestic, looked at the two people in the hall, and said in a deep voice.

"The Ho Elders Association originally consisted of six people, but because one voluntarily withdrew, only five remained. He Jie said slowly.

"The other person is He Xiping of Xicheng, known as He Crippled in the Sky. He has always been prejudiced against Elder Dongcheng, and he quits the Council of Elders with a grudge, and we have not found anyone to replace him. He Jie then explained.

"The person in the underground palace is really He Xiping, I didn't expect him to do something like cannibalism. He Bichen nodded and said calmly.

He Xiping is narrow-minded, and in order to support He Jiacheng as the heir, it is not surprising that he made this decision. But with his wisdom, he could never have planned so carefully. He Jie continued.

In fact, at the beginning of the investigation, the He family was the first to suspect He Xiping, but they did not find any valuable clues.

And the development of the whole thing does not seem to be in the hands of He Xiping, which can't help but make people question. He Jie was thoughtful, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Chen He, what do you think about this matter?"

Chen He, who had been silent, didn't expect He Jie to ask him for his opinion, and he was a little timid to express it in front of the respected elders.

"You let it go, and now we treat you as one of our own. He Tian looked at Chen He kindly on the side and encouraged loudly.

Because He Tian saw Chen He's performance in the underground palace with his own eyes, he had a new understanding of him, which was quite different.

"Elders have laughed, and as a witness to the incident, I would like to share my views. There is no doubt that He Xiping was the financier behind the assassination incident, because there was a motive and conclusive evidence. It was Xue Ruhai's actions that forced him to show up. Chen He analyzed carefully.

"So you also think that the Xue family discovered He Xiping's secret, so they are quietly helping us?" He Jie continued to ask with interest.

"It's not that simple, and there's a huge doubt. Chen He paused, and then said: "He Xiping didn't kill the assassins at the first time, but hid them in the underground palace and didn't kill them until their identities were revealed, which seems very unreasonable. ”

"Oh, this is indeed strange, with He Xiping's character, he should kill the assassin immediately. He Jie nodded in agreement.

"Actually, He Xiping had indeed killed the two assassins in the first place. Chen He said slowly.

This sentence made everyone in the ancestral hall look suspicious, Chen He still had no practical experience after all.

"On the day a person dies, the remnants of his consciousness disappear, and even with the use of special means, it can only be extended for a few days, and your inference is not valid. He Tian interjected on the side, his tone was very kind.

"In fact, the two assassins have already been killed, but they are not dead, but they have been cleverly made into half-corpse zombies, so until they were discovered recently, there were still remnants of consciousness in their minds. Chen He explained unhurriedly.

"That's right!"

In the ancestral hall, there was a chorus of echoes.

Chen He, who had no experience, perfectly explained the reason why the corpse had residual divine consciousness, which everyone had not thought of before.

"Is it just that the Xue family secretly controls everything and turns the assassin into a half-corpse zombie just to expose He Xiping's crimes?" He Jie continued to follow Chen He's train of thought and asked with interest.

"Maybe He Xiping came to this point under the pressure of the Xue family step by step. He Bichen, who had been silent for a long time, spoke at this time.

This statement was immediately agreed by the elders.

With the current true strength of the He family in the West City, they would not dare to come forward to challenge the East City lineage.

He Xiping dared to launch an assassination operation at this time, and vigorously recommended He Jiacheng as the heir, presumably because he thought he had something to rely on.

It's just that he didn't expect that the forces he relied on would push him to a dead end step by step.

"What Chen'er said is very reasonable, the role played by the Xue family in the whole matter is not honorable. Provoking the dispute between the He family's east and west cities is the result they want. He Jie finally concluded.

Everyone was relieved, as if they had seen the whole truth, only Chen He had a faint feeling in his heart that things were more than that.

The disparity in strength between the East and West Cities is too great, and it can't hurt the He family. And the masked man's tone in the underground river clearly wanted to eradicate the He family.

But with the current situation, all he can see is limited to this.

In any case, the opponent's first move has already fallen, and how the He family should respond depends on the wisdom of the Council of Elders.

"Since things have come to this point, we have to think about it in the long run. We can neither fall into the hands of the Xue family, nor can we sit idly by and ignore He Xiping. You don't need Chen'er He'er to participate in these things, you should immediately rush back to the Honghuang Academy and make every effort to prepare for the alliance competition in a year's time. He Jie said decisively.

He Bichen immediately nodded in obedience, his eyes quietly looked at Chen He, and found that there was still a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

She couldn't help but think that Chen He was passively involved in the He family dispute and had experienced a lot of hardships recently, which was really unbearable.

"Brother Chen He really sacrificed his life and did his best for the He family, and I hope that the Elders Council can truly accept him. He Bichen blushed and said in a low voice.

"Haha!"

He Jie, who had never been smiling, laughed at this time, and then said kindly: "The matter of the two of you is settled now." When things settle down, we'll give you an official engagement ceremony. ”

The scene suddenly echoed, He Bichen was even more shy, embarrassed to look at Chen He.

And Chen He's heart at this time was very complicated, and he didn't dare to show it.

The He family's initial suspicion of him to his undisguised appreciation is, of course, an affirmation of his strength.

And He Bichen always fights for his interests, which is also touching, but before the mystery is solved, he can't accept the marriage contract.

"Seniors, I actually have one more thing that needs the help of the Council of Elders. Chen He deliberately diverted the topic, got up and said respectfully.

"Say, since everyone is already a family, if you have anything to say, just say it. Elder He Tian was very interested, and he said loudly, and deliberately glanced at He Bichen, who had his head down.

Chen He saw that everyone was so casual, so he let go of the restraints and boldly said the request.

This time, he and He Bichen went to the Honghuang Academy, and they will not return to Zhongtian City until the selection within the clan half a year later.

What he can't worry about the most is his friend Wan Youlong.

The Wan family is now weak, and the dragons have no leader, not only have to face the threat of the He family in Xicheng, but they may also be targeted by the powerful Xue family.

Chen He wanted to take the opportunity to ask the Council of Elders to provide Wan Youlong and Wan Jia with the necessary help within their ability.

After listening to Chen He's story, He Jie did not speak immediately, but was silent for a long time.

"You don't have to worry about the affairs of Wanjia, you are far from seeing the true essence of Wanjia. As for giving the necessary help to the Wan family, there is a Zhongtian treaty to follow, and the He family will act according to the agreement. He Jie said slowly after pondering.

He Jie didn't want Chen He to get too involved in the Zhongtian dispute, so he didn't explain more, and took the lead to leave the ancestral hall after speaking.
