Since Xue Ru learned from Nangong Ling that Xiao'er's mother-in-law was killed by Nangong Ying, she was flustered, she didn't know what to do in the future, she didn't know if she wanted to go to Long Yi and Zhou Rou to discuss, and she wanted to go to Nangong Ying to ask her clearly, Xue Ru locked herself in her room every day, and there were too many questions in her mind that she didn't know, whether it should or not, and whether it was okay.

In the days when Xueru was closed, Long Yi and Zhou Rou came to her, no matter how Long Yi and Zhou Rou knocked on the door and called her, Xueru just didn't open the door, Long Yi and Zhou Rou didn't understand what was going on with Xueru, since they separated at the kitchen door, they hadn't seen Xueru, Long Yi and Zhou Rou would inevitably guess if Xueru had found something, or already knew who the murderer was, Xueru was so alone and distressed, and the two of them were distressed when they looked at it.

"Xiaoxue, open the door, I brought you your favorite meat buns." Long Yi stood at the door and knocked on the door and shouted.

"Xiaoxue, you lock yourself in your room every day, and you don't see us, do you know that we are worried about you!" Zhou Rou stood outside the door and shouted loudly.

"Long Yi, what should I do? Xiaoxue still won't open the door. Zhou Rou looked at Long Yi and said.

"Xiaoxue, if you don't open the door again, I'll break in!" Long Yi shouted loudly to the door, ready to break in, and Xiaoxue opened the door just as Long Yi was about to break in.

"Hey, you've opened the door for us, I'm thirsty, I'll drink some water first." Long Yi saw that Xue Ru immediately walked into the room after opening the door, and Zhou Rou also followed Long Yi in, and did not ask Xue Ru to disagree.

"Brother Long Yi, Zhou Rou, don't worry about me, I'm fine, it's just that I'm not feeling well these days and don't want to go out." Xue Ruqiang looked at Long Yi and Zhou Rou who were drinking water with a smile and said.

"Really? Why don't I think you're okay? Long Yi put down the water glass in his hand, looked at Xue Ru and said.

"yes, I don't think you're feeling unwell, and looking at your expression, I feel like you're hiding something and don't want us to know." Zhou Rou also put down the water glass in her hand, stared at Xue Ru's eyes fiercely and said.

"Hehe, I'm really fine, it's because you're thinking too much!" Xue Ru sat down with a grin and said.

Long Yi and Zhou Rou saw that Xue Ru repeatedly emphasized that she was unwell, and she didn't want to hide anything from them, so they didn't ask any more.

"Okay, seeing that you're okay, we're relieved, Zhou Rou and I have thought about it in the past few days, and we feel that we can't find any clues if we continue like this, so we decided to investigate all the disciples of the Heavenly Immortal Sect, what do you think?" Long Yi looked at the haggard Xue Ru and said.

"Oh, that's good, you guys go investigate first! I'm still very unwell. Xue Ru didn't want to say more, for fear that she would be exposed.

"Well, then Long Yi and I will investigate first, and you can recuperate!" Zhou Rou interrupted what Long Yi wanted to say.

"Brother Long Yi, Zhou Rou, I'm sorry, I can't help you during this time." Xue Ru said guiltily.

"Hehe, it's okay, you can help investigate when you're well." Zhou Rou gently stepped on Long Yi's foot with her foot and said, "Yes, Long Yi." ”

"Oh, yes." Long Yi glanced at Zhou Rou, then looked at Xue Ru and said.

"Thank you." Xue Ru looked at Long Yi and Xue Ru and said.

"Well, then Long Yi and I will leave first, you have a good rest." Zhou Rou touched Long Yi's arm and signaled that Long Yi was leaving.

"Zhou Rou, what are you trying to do?" After Long Yi and Zhou Rou left Xueru's room, Long Yi looked around and asked Zhou Rou.

"Hey, didn't you observe Xiaoxue's expression just now?" Zhou Rou stopped and looked at Long Yi and said.

"Did you notice something?" Long Yi looked at Zhou Rou and said.

"Well, when we said just now that we were going to investigate all the disciples of the Heavenly Immortal Sect, I felt that Xiao Xue deliberately refused to go with us to investigate on the grounds that she was not feeling well." Zhou Rou said as she walked.

"It seems that Xiaoxue is really hiding something from us." Long Yi walked beside Zhou Rou and said.

"Yes, since Xiaoxue refuses to say, only we have to find out by ourselves, but we still have to pay more attention to Xiaoxue." Zhou Rou looked at Long Yi and said.

"Well, that's all there is to it." Long Yi let out a long sigh.

In this way, Long Yi and Zhou Rou went to Anyi Mountain, Qingyun Mountain, Forgetfulness Mountain and Desperate Mountain respectively to investigate the details of all the disciples, of course, they would not investigate all day long, but they would use the rest time every day or when their Shangxian sent them to another Shangxian to do business, Long Yi and Zhou Rou were like this every day, they were well hidden, and they were not noticed by anyone.

Xiaoxue saw that Long Yi and Zhou Rou were working so hard to find the murderer, she was very upset, and her heart was full of guilt for Long Yi and Zhou Rou, so she decided to find Nangong Ling.

"Boss, it's me, Xiaoxue." Xue Ru stood at the door of Nangong Ling's room and shouted.

"The door is unlocked, come in." Nangong Ling sat at the table and said.

"Boss, I've been closed all this time, I've been thinking about a lot of things, and I can't go on like this forever." Xue Ru pushed open the door and walked in front of Nangong Ling and said.

"And what did you decide to do?" Nangong Ling looked at Xue Ru who was standing in front of him and said.

"I.., I want to tell Brother Long Yi and Zhou Rou about Brother Shadow being the murderer, I think I have to tell at least the two of them first." Xue Ru looked at Nangong Ling and said, Xue Ru had already made up her mind and was no longer confused.

"Did you really decide you wanted to do this?" Nangong Ling stood up, looked into Xue Ru's eyes and asked.

"Hmm." Xueru nodded, without the slightest hesitation.

"Okay, you bring Long Yi and Zhou Rou, and I'll take care of this matter." After Nangong Ling finished speaking, he sat down again.

"Yes." Xue Ru nodded to Nangong Ling and walked out of the room to find Long Yi and Zhou Rou.

Xue Ru just walked out of Nangong Ling's room, it happened that Nangong Ying was outside the door, Xue Ru and Nangong Ling's conversation had been heard by Nangong Ying, this time Nangong Ling did not notice Nangong Ying hiding outside the door, since Xue Ru already knew that Nangong Ying was the murderer, she immediately went to chase Xue Ru.

"Xiaoxue, where are you going?" Nangong Ying pretended to be passing by and greeted Xueru.

"Brother Shadow, I... I.. I just went to deliver something to the boss and was about to go back. Xue Ru stammered in reply.

"Oh, that's right, do you have time now? I have something for you. Nangong Ying deliberately made an excuse to drag Xue Ru.

"Oh, there's time." Xue Ru tried hard to hide her expression, pretending not to know anything.

"Hehe, then come with me!" Nangong Ying said with a smile.

"Huh? Where are you going? Xue Ru looked at Nangong Ying and asked.

"I left things in my room, I didn't have them with me, and I didn't know I would meet you here, so I asked you to come with me!" Nangong Ying touched his head and said with a smile to Xue Ru.

"Hmm." Xue Ru followed him in order not to make Nangong Ying suspicious of herself.

Everything was in Nangong Ying's hands, Xue Ru didn't know that Nangong Ying had heard her conversation with Nangong Ling, and she followed Nangong Ying into the room stupidly, without any defense.

"Xiaoxue, you sit down first, I'll go get something for you." After Nangong Ying finished speaking, she closed the door and walked to the innermost dresser.

"yes, okay." Xue Ru sat down and looked around and said.

"I'm sure you'll love it." Nangong Ying opened the drawer, took out the incense, and secretly lit it.

"Hehe, yes! What is it.. East.. West? Xue Ru fell on the table and fainted as she spoke.

"Xiaoxue, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame Nangong Ling, who let him tell you everything! I can't let you go to Long Yi and the others to deal with me together. Nangong Ying walked up to Xue Ru and looked at her and said.

Nangong Ying saw that Xue Ru had completely fainted, he walked to the side of the bed and opened the curtains, pressed the button hidden in the curtain, and the floor under his feet opened a secret passage, Nangong Ying picked up Xue Ru and walked into the secret passage, a long corridor, with many lit oil lamps on both sides, until there was a warm bed in the deepest part, and there was a desk next to it, and a stack of paper and pen and ink were placed on the desk, Nangong Ying put Xue Ru on the bed, tied Xue Ru's hands and feet with a rope, blocked her mouth with a cloth, looked at Xue Ru and left.

And Nangong Ling was still waiting for Xue Ru in the room, Long Yi and Zhou Rou, after waiting for a long time, they didn't come, Nangong Ling's heart was a little anxious, walking around the room alone, and the tea was already drunk cup after cup, Nangong Ling stood at the window and watched the sky outside gradually darken, he always felt that something was going to happen, he finally couldn't help but walk out of the room to look for Xue Ru.

"Long Yi, Zhou Rou, I finally found you." Nangong Ling found them in the place where Long Yi, Xue Ru and Zhou Rou practiced swords last time, and hurriedly ran to Long Yi and Zhou Rou and bent down and said.

"Master, is there something wrong with you coming to us so late?" Long Yi looked at Nangong Ling, who was panting, and said.

"Why are you two here? What about Xiaoxue? Isn't she with you? Nangong Ling straightened up and looked at Long Yi and Zhou Rou and said.

"Xiaoxue? Long Yi and I haven't seen her today! Zhou Rou looked at Long Yi and Nangong Ling and said.

"Oh no, isn't it..." Nangong Ling suddenly became worried.

"What's going on?" Long Yi looked at Nangong Ling's expression a little strange, and immediately asked.

"Xiaoxue came to me at noon to say something, and then I told her to come to my room with the two of you, and I saw that you hadn't come here when it was dark, so I came out to look for you." Nangong Ling looked around and said to Long Yi and Zhou Rou after making sure that there was no one around.

"Xiaoxue didn't come to me and Zhou Rou, did she go somewhere else?" Long Yi speculated calmly.

"No, Xiaoxue knows the seriousness of this matter, she won't go somewhere else without saying a word, she must have had an accident." Nangong Ling said anxiously, he was very sure that something had happened to Xue Ru.

"Master, what the hell is going on? Why did Xiaoxue suffer an accident because of this incident? Long Yi also became anxious, and pulled Nangong Ling's arm and said.

"Long Yi, you calm down first, the head will tell us." Zhou Rou walked up to Long Yi and took his hand and said.

"Actually, I always knew who the murderer of Han Xiao's mother-in-law was, the night I was looking for evidence in the kitchen last time, after you left, Xiaoxue stayed, and I told Xiaoxue that night, the murderer is Nangong Ying, Xiaoxue couldn't accept this fact for a while, so she hid in the room and didn't go out until today, she came to me and said that she wanted to tell you two about it, so I asked her to come to me to find you, and that's the way it is." Nangong Ling turned around and walked to the river, looked at the moon reflected in the river, and said.

"I have suspected Nangong Ying before, I feel that he is mysterious and unpredictable, could it be that Xiaoxue's disappearance is related to Nangong Ying?" Long Yi walked up to Nangong Ying's side and said.

"Actually, every time Xiaoxue came to me before, Nangong Ying was eavesdropping outside the door, but this time I didn't notice whether there was Nangong Ying outside the door, if he was outside the door, he would hear my conversation with Xiaoxue, and he would definitely stop Xiaoxue from looking for you." Nangong Ying turned to look at Zhou Rou and Long Yi and said.

"Isn't that Xiaoxue in danger, let's go to her!" Zhou Rou hurriedly walked towards Nangong Ling and Long Yi.

"Xiaoxue won't be in danger for the time being, Xiaoxue is very important to Nangong Ying, I don't think he will make dangerous moves towards Xiaoxue." Nangong Ling looked at Zhou Rou and said calmly.

"Well, I think so too, Nangong Ying's eyes are very gentle when he looks at Xiaoxue, he has developed love for Xiaoxue, and it has been a long time, so I guess Nangong Ying must have put Xiaoxue under house arrest and prevented her from meeting us." Long Yi looked at Zhou Rou and said.

"So what should we do now? You can't just wait for him to let Xiaoxue out! Zhou Rou looked at Nangong Ling and Long Yi and said.

"You go back tonight, pretend nothing happened, let me think about it, and wait for me here tomorrow morning." Nangong Ling said to Long Yi and Zhou Rou.

"Okay." Zhou Rou and Long Yi replied together, and Nangong Ling left first.

"Long Yi, I'm still not at ease, is Xiaoxue's life really not in danger?" Long Yi walked in front, and Zhou Rou followed behind Long Yi and asked.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxue will be fine, and I can see that the head is more nervous than us Xiaoxue, I believe that the head will not let Xiaoxue have anything to do." Long Yi looked back at Zhou Rou and said.

Zhou Rou was a little relieved when she heard what Long Yi said, and then they went back to the room to rest, while Nangong Ling was still thinking in the room, how to rescue Xiaoxue, walking around all night, anxious and restless, although Nangong Ying would not hurt Xiaoxue, but still a little worried, no matter what, find Xiaoxue first.

Xue Ru woke up in a daze in the secret passage, and when she opened her eyes, she found that her hands and feet were tied to death, unable to break free, and her mouth was blocked, and she couldn't shout loudly, and after a while, she heard the sound of footsteps.

"You're awake." Nangong Ying put the food in his hand on the table, walked up to Xiaoxue and took off the gag cloth and said.

"Brother Shadow, why are you tying me up?" Xue Ru looked at Nangong Ying and said.

"Xiaoxue, don't you already know it, do you want me to find out?" Nangong Ying Fuxue sat up and said.

"Did you hear my conversation with the boss?" Xue Ru looked at Nangong Ying with cold eyes and said.

"yes, I heard that, that's why I brought you here." Nangong Ying replied while feeding Xue Ru.

"You know what? You are very important to me, I can't stand your look when you are worried about the boss's injury, every time I see you look at the boss, I want him to disappear from this world forever, so I will make him disappear, I don't want you to be involved in this, let alone get hurt. Nangong Ying looked at Xue Ru, who refused to eat, and said sadly.

"Brother Shadow, don't go wrong again, okay? I grew up without parents and siblings until I met you, you were so good to me, just like my own brother, I really didn't want you to be like this. Xue Ru said to Nangong Ying very sadly.

"Alright, don't say any more." Nangong Ying put the food on the table and left.

"Brother Shadow, Brother Shadow... Xue Ru looked at the back of Nangong Ying leaving and shouted, no matter how Xue Ru shouted Nangong Ying, he just didn't look back.

Xue Ru leaned on the head of the bed and watched Nangong Ying leave, feeling very uncomfortable, why did Nangong Ying become like this, she was no longer her shadow brother, and she cried when she thought about it.

The next morning, Nangong Ling gathered with Long Yi and Zhou Rou, Nangong Ling thought about it all night, and decided to find a way to save Xue Ru first, Nangong Ling instructed Zhou Rou to monitor Nangong Ying's room, Long Yi went to Han Xiao and told Han Xiao that the murderer was Nangong Ying and Xue Ru's disappearance, while Nangong Ling himself followed Nangong Ying and paid attention to his every move.

"That's it, let's go now." Nangong Ling looked at Long Yi and Zhou Rou and said.

"Yes, sir." Long Yi and Zhou Rou replied in unison, Long Yi Imperial Sword went to the Forgotten Cherry Pavilion, and Zhou Rou went to Nangong Ying's residence.

"Xiao'er, Xiao'er... Long Yi walked into the courtyard of the Forgotten Sakura Pavilion and shouted loudly.

"Long Yi, what are you doing? Have you found out who the murderer is? Han Xiao instantly appeared in front of Long Yi and asked.

"Well, I already know who the murderer is." Long Yi replied.

"Who? Who is the murderer? Han Xiao looked at Long Yi and said.

"The murderer of your mother-in-law is Nangong Ying, Xiaoxue has also been arrested by him, and now the head is monitoring Nangong Ying's every move, I came this time to hope that you can cooperate with us to rescue Xiaoxue, and then Nangong Ying will be at your disposal." Long Yi looked at Han Xiao's eyes and said sincerely.

"Really? After rescuing Xiaoxue, Nangong Ying will be at my disposal, how about it? Han Xiao confirmed again and again.

"Yes, as long as you rescue Xiaoxue, Nangong Ying's life and death are up to you." Long Yi said after taking a few steps forward.

"Okay, I'll go up to Tianshan with you now to save Xiaoxue." After Han Xiao finished speaking, he went to Tianshan with Long Yi to take the sword
