Chapter 35: Affection
In the chamber, it was extremely quiet.
Lu Yuanzhi, the head of Yanshan, stood tall, and his old body seemed to be windy, but the whole person invisibly revealed a powerful majesty.
Behind him, Yue Yang and Qi Yunxue stood side by side. Looking at the old and slightly lonely back, Yue Yang suddenly felt that his heart was about to break.
This old man, who has been fighting for the rise of the Yanshan faction all his life and supporting the entire Yanshan faction like a pillar, is now so old, as if he is declining, which makes people feel quite sour.
"I didn't expect that in a short period of time, there have been two murders in this faction, who do you think the murderer will be?" Lu Yuanzhi slowly turned around and took the lead in breaking the silence.
Qi Yunxue was stunned, she thought that the head of the house asked her to come with Yue Yang, but she just wanted to add some more details in order to find out the real murderer, but she didn't expect the head to ask them without asking, and she asked herself who the real murderer was, but now the clues are limited, how easy it is to say who the real murderer is immediately, and shook her head at the moment and said: "The disciples are ignorant and can't know the identity of the murderer." ”
Lu Yuanzhi said: "You have fought with him, why can't you even see what the other party is?"
Qi Yunxue said helplessly: "This person is too angry, unheard of, I really can't see his martial arts path." ”
Lu Yuanzhi nodded, looked at Yue Yang, and asked, "You also witnessed the thief's murder that day, what do you think about this?"
Seeing Lu Yuanzhi's question, Yue Yang suddenly felt a trace of nervousness in his heart, and he said calmly: "Although I don't know who the murderer is, I am sure that this person is definitely not from Wannuma Valley and Jade Sword Sect!"
"Oh!" Lu Yuanzhi's eyes lit up.
Qi Yunxue snorted coldly: "In your opinion, since it is not the people of the Jade Sword Gate and the Ten Thousand Swamp Valley who committed the murder, then it is the people of the Sect who did it? But in this Qi country, apart from the Jade Sword Gate and the Ten Thousand Swamp Valley, I really can't think of any other force that would be so vicious to the disciples of this sect!"
Lu Yuanzhi smiled: "You let him talk about it." ”
After waiting for a while, but he didn't see Yue Yang speak, Lu Yuanzhi was surprised: "Why don't you speak?"
Yue Yang glanced at Qi Yunxue in embarrassment, Lu Yuanzhi seemed to have discovered something, and said, "Although it is said that there is no need to be taboo about anything. ”
Yue Yang nodded, thinking of what Huang Su said today, and said: "I have heard that not long ago you signed a marriage with Wanmaru Valley, uh, I think it is at this juncture that Wanmaru Valley will not reconcile with the Yanshan faction, and there is no reason to harm the disciples of Yanshan." Moreover, although Wannuma Valley is openly and secretly targeting your faction everywhere, and is eager to uproot your faction, after all, it has not been so grandiose for many years to order people to openly kill your sect's disciples in Yanshan. I haven't done this for decades, and now the marriage between the two factions is imminent, and it shouldn't be so at an important juncture!"
Because Qi Yunxue was involved, Yue Yang was a little hesitant before, worried that he would anger her after saying it, but at this moment, to his surprise, he saw that Qi Yunxue was not angry, but showed a thoughtful expression, as if he was extremely satisfied with his reasoning, which made his hanging heart relax.
Lu Yuanzhi nodded and smiled, "Then why won't the Jade Sword Sect participate in the murder?" Qi Yunxue also looked at Yue Yang.
Yue Yang said: "I once had a relationship with Ji Qingyang, the young master of the Jade Sword Sect, and I still remember that he personally told me that he wanted to cast a sword as a plough and make friends with the Yanshan faction forever. Now that I think about it, at that time, I had no cultivation at all, and I didn't have the slightest fame, if he deliberately deceived Yan Shan and lied, with the disparity between my two identities, there was no need to talk to me at all, he could have come to talk to a person with quite prestige in your sect, and there was no reason to talk so much with me, a person who was not even a disciple of Yan Shan. This is enough to show that what Ji Qingyang said that day came from the bottom of his heart. And the reason why this person can talk to me for a long time is because he is open-minded, not bound by the worldly framework, does not have the rigid concept of respect and inferiority of ordinary people, and has the same smell as me, and at first sight, he will have no scruples, speak freely, and express his heart directly. ”
"Now it is rumored that the master of the Jade Sword Sect attaches great importance to such a son, and many affairs in the door have been gradually handed over to him to take care of, and he will soon become the next generation of the master of the Jade Sword Sect. Such a character, his words and deeds must have represented the Jade Sword Gate to a certain extent, and since he intends to make peace with the Yanshan faction, the Jade Sword Gate should be in the same breath as him, and there is no reason to do the opposite. Therefore, I believe that the Jade Sword Sect must not be involved in this matter. ”
Lu Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Ji Qingyang's personality is not bad. I remember that he came to the faction that day and discussed with me about the cessation of the two factions. At that time, seeing his sincerity did not seem to be fake, it can be seen that this person has a good character, and he will not be a person who is untrustworthy, and if he becomes the head of the Jade Sword Sect one day, he will definitely be able to benefit the two factions. After a pause, Lu Yuanzhi stroked his palm and smiled at Yue Yang: "I didn't expect you to be so young, but your vision is so old and transparent, enough to beat many people in this sect, and what is even more unexpected is that you actually formed a friendship with that Ji Qingyang." ”
Qi Yunxue snorted coldly: "Listening to your analysis, it makes sense, but if the Jade Sword Sect and the Ten Thousand Marsh Valley are not involved, then aren't you saying that all this is what the people of this sect are doing!
Yue Yang shook his head, he did suspect in his heart that it was someone inside the Yanshan Sect who did it, but who it was, he had no eyebrows in his heart.
Judging from the situation of the other party's battle with Qi Yunxue that day, the opponent's strength should be roughly equal to Qi Yunxue's, although the opponent finally knocked Qi Yunxue down the deep cliff, it seems that the killer should be better in strength, but considering that the other party used a strategy, it can't be counted.
In Yue Yang's opinion, there are only the elders in the Yanshan faction who have the strength to fight Qi Yunxue, except for Mu Lianyi and the perishing water that he has never met. Of course, the old man in the library pavilion didn't need to mention it at all.
But the perpetrator could not be one of these elders, although Qi Yunxue's cultivation was amazing, but the elder-level master was not something she could handle now.
And if it was an elder in the sect who was committing a crime, with his advanced cultivation, he would not have suffered Qi Yunxue that day, and even was forced to use Dabai as a threat in the end, and with trickery, Qi Yunxue would be shot down to the bottom of the valley. As for hidden strength, it is impossible to assert it. At such an important juncture, the first thing to consider was to escape without being discovered by more people, how could he be stupid enough to deliberately lower his cultivation and continue to consume Qi Yunxue for no reason.
As for perishable water, Yue Yang felt that it was equally unlikely. It's just because with the passage of time, often listening to others talk about perishable water, so that Yue Yang's understanding of this person is deepening day by day, this person's strength is probably more than he imagined, the truth is the same as all the elders, the strength is obviously much higher than Qi Yunxue, and he will not be forced to that point by Qi Yunxue. It is impossible to hide the strength and accompany the other party to slowly consume it.
Is it possible that the murderer is Mu Lianyi? Yue Yang felt that this person was the most likely, but this was just a conjecture from a long time ago, and it could never be Lianyi now. Guy Yin today Yue Yang learned from Elder Ma about the time of death of several disciples, if it was correct, Mu Lianyi was a guest in his mansion at that time, discussing with him about forming an alliance, where could he commit murder. So could it be that she didn't use her clone to commit murder, Yue Yang knew that this was absolutely impossible, under normal circumstances, unless she cultivated to be a particularly strong person, she would not have the ability to turn into a clone at all, at least it was impossible for someone in the Imperial Martial Realm to do it.
Who is the real culprit behind these two bloody cases? Yue Yang's thoughts were flying, but he could not get a satisfactory answer.
Qi Yunxue saw that Yue Yang was silent, and said coldly: "In your opinion, the murderer must be from my Yanshan, but who is the murderer, why don't you say it?
She opened her mouth to say more, but saw Lu Yuanzhi suddenly interrupt: "Enough, no need to say more!" At this time, a wisp of pain that was difficult to read appeared on his old face again.
"You go down first. Then Lu Yuanzhi said lightly to Qi Yunxue.
Qi Yunxue respectfully accepted the order, but at the moment she turned around, she somehow suddenly felt that her master was a little abnormal today, but she couldn't say what was abnormal.
Glancing back at Yue Yang, Qi Yunxue knew that the next time for the two of them to be alone was next. As the apprentice of the current head of the sect, Qi Yunxue had known about the delicate relationship between Yue Yang and her master early on, otherwise she would not have heard Yue Yang's name in the stone pavilion that day, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
At this time, Qi Yunxue suddenly had a feeling that most of the things that the head of the family called Yue Yang to ask were fake, and the real purpose was mostly just to talk to Yue Yang.
Qi Yunxue has always been very disgusted with Yue Yang, because of the scenes that happened under the deep cliff that day, she really couldn't bear it.
But recently, she doesn't know why, she can't help but think of the scene that happened on Wu Feng not long ago.
Thinking of the man in her mind, helpless again and again, desperate again and again, and even finally resolutely disregarding life and death, swallowing the Nine Turns Xuanqing Pill that was judged to be a waste pill at that time, she felt a trace of pain in her heart for no reason.
What the hell is this? Love? She didn't know.
She just felt that love was too far away from her.
And when she thought that the marriage between herself and the eldest son of the Lord of Mannuma Valley was getting closer and closer, she felt unspeakable pain and despair in her heart.
The thirteenth-generation patriarch Ling Feng used to be her hope, but the old man was unwilling to go out of the customs and her hopes were dashed, how heartbroken and desperate she was at that moment.
For a person who can't even make decisions about her own marriage, love is too luxurious for her.
She didn't know why her heart suddenly changed so drastically towards Yue Yang, but sometimes she would ask herself repeatedly: You obviously hate this guy very much, why do you still sympathize with him, don't you wish this person died earlier?
Yes, she did hate Yue Yang, and she hated it to the extreme.
Just like Fang Cai, she actually recognized Yue Yang's inference very much in her heart, but she couldn't help but want to fight him, in her words, she just couldn't look at the villain's ambition of the other party.
It's just that in addition to this annoyance, what motivates her to do this?
She didn't know what love was, and she never knew what it was like to like someone.
In the face of so-called love, she is usually arrogant and sometimes like a hazy and ignorant child, so she can't even find out if she is tempted.
