"...that's how it all works."
Following Liu Nanqin's last words, the entire Yunqing Palace fell into absolute silence.
Head Qiu, who was above the senior rank, held his hands behind his back, frowned tightly, and looked at the junior who was kneeling under His Highness who was the most valued in the past. The violent ups and downs of his chest and the heavy breath showed that he was too angry to speak. The elders also shook their heads and sighed.
Although Liu Nanqin was not their disciple, he was polite and intelligent since he was a child. It was impossible for them not to love him when they watched him grow from a young boy to the handsome young man he is today. In many cases, Liu Nanqin was even more stable than Wei Heng, but who knew that he was the instigator of this murder!
Motivation, process, means... Liu Nanqin has explained the riddle clearly, and it seems that the conclusion has been reached.
Head Qiu let out a heavy sigh of relief, stopped looking at Liu Nanqin who was kneeling there, turned around and ordered, "Wei Heng, Li Xiao, take Liu Nanqin to the precept hall for strict supervision! This time, we must not allow anyone to run away again! The rest... The rest will be discussed after you, Uncle Du and Uncle Ouyang, return to the door!"
"Yes." Lu Lixiao responded, looking at Liu Nanqin.
Liu Nanqin stood up consciously, and bowed respectfully to the back of Sect Master Qiu and the elders on the steps. Wei Heng heard Liu Nanqin personally admit to killing Duan Peng from outside the hall, and he still couldn't believe it. Liu Nanqin glanced at him, then turned to Lu Lixiao: "Fourth Junior Brother, take me to the precept hall."
Lu Lixiao stepped aside and signaled Liu Nanqin to go ahead. Liu Nanqin walked past him and Wei Heng at a steady pace.
Outside Yunqing Palace, a famous disciple came up with something wrapped in coarse cloth, Lu Lixiao took it with one hand and lifted the cloth, revealing the old nanmuqin inside.
Liu Nanqin's calm face from the beginning to the end had an uncontrollable shock at this moment, and even those eyes that were usually as pale as water seemed to vibrate slightly with a clear light.
He raised his trembling hand and caressed the Guqin, "I heard that my mother pleaded guilty on my behalf outside the mansion, and I quietly returned to the mansion at night, and my mother was dead... I couldn't take this qin away, so I buried it outside the house Under the big tree." He closed his eyes deeply and exhaled slowly, opened them again after a long time, and said to Lu Lixiao: "...Thank you!"
"It should be returned to its original owner," Lu Lixiao said.
Liu Nanqin hugged Nanmu Guqin into his arms, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry for blaming you... Also," he seemed to hesitate for a moment, looking towards Wei Heng, "I seriously injured you in the ancestral hall last time... I'm sorry."
"I didn't blame you." Wei Heng looked at him and said firmly, "Because I know, that person is not you!"
Liu Nanqin's expression tightened for a moment, and then she smiled and said, "Second Senior Brother, I know you want to defend, but Senior Brother is really not worth it..."
Wei Heng interrupted him, "You think I won't be able to recognize your skill?"
"Second Senior Brother, let me say it again, you made a mistake!" Liu Nanqin sternly denied.
Wei Heng glared at him furiously, and grabbed his arm fiercely, "Who are you doing for..."
"Yo! Second Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, why are you still here? The head of the sect said that this murderer should be imprisoned in the precept hall as soon as possible!"
Qi Yunpeng swaggered out from the Yunqing Palace, gloating over his misfortune. Although now that Lu Lixiao has cleared his suspicions and made him happy for nothing, Liu Nanqin becoming a murderer is more beneficial to him. From now on, he will be the only direct disciple under Elder Du's seat, and all the power Liu Nanqin holds will fall into his hands , his status in the sect will naturally rise as well!
Liu Nanqin pulled out her arm, seeming to think that Wei Heng was unreasonable, and quickly said to Lu Lixiao, "Fourth Junior Brother, let's go."
Lu Lixiao ignored the villain Qi Yunpeng, folded his arms with no intention of leaving, "Third senior brother, you are not the one who should go to the precept hall."
Liu Nanqin's eyes flicked back and forth between Lu Lixiao and Wei Heng's faces, and finally she ran out of patience, "If you have evidence that someone else did it, show it!"
Wei Heng remained silent, but did not waver in the slightest.
Lu Lixiao said: "For all the unreasonable things in this incident, the explanation you gave really makes sense. It is indeed possible to lock the door with spiritual pets, but I think the real situation is not so reasonable. If I With sufficient evidence, Yunqing Palace will stand up just now. Third senior brother, the truth about Buli is very important to me, please tell the truth."
Under his gaze, Liu Nanqin couldn't help but look away, bit her lower lip slightly, and said in a barely audible voice: "I... didn't hide anything."
The air condensed. At this time, Qiu Cailing, who was confused by the news about people's opinions, rushed to the Yunqing Palace. When he saw Lu Lixiao among the people outside the hall, he asked excitedly, "Fourth senior brother, are you back? Little junior brother is not with you." Together?"
Lu Lixiao heard the voice and said, "Zi Ruo? He's not in my yard?"
"I've looked for him, but there's no one there! I asked a lot of fellow students, but they all said they didn't see him!" Qiu Cailing complained, stomping her feet.
When Zhou Ziruo left the cave in the morning, he planned to test Wei Heng and Liu Nanqin. Now that they are here, Lu Lixiao turned his questioning gaze to the two of them. Liu Nanqin sighed and said, "I locked him in a hidden abandoned wooden house. The place is not easy to find, let me take you there."
"I followed this old man for half a day, what exactly do you want to know? You might as well ask clearly!"
Mu Qijun and Leng Mo turned their heads, only to realize that Ouyang Yi, who was supposed to be in the cabin in front of him, had come behind him at some point! Elder Ouyang, who enjoys the title of martial idiot in Qingyang Mountain and ranks among the best in the elder generation in terms of strength, really deserves his reputation!
Leng Mo hurriedly got up, clasped his fists and said: "Disciple... I have seen Master Ouyang!"
"I, that, junior, pay my respects to Elder Ouyang!" Mu Qijun also hurriedly said.
Ouyang Yi asked Mu Qijun, "Who are you?"
"The junior is the new cook in the family!"
"Cook?" Ouyang Yi looked at Leng Mo, "Martial Nephew Leng, you and this cook have been following the old man since the way down the mountain, what's the matter?"
The previously prepared saying of looking for ingredients and encountering by chance is definitely useless. Leng Mo has always been upright and will not lie. Without an idea in his heart, he turned his gaze to Mu Qijun. Mu Qijun opened his mouth and hadn't spoken yet. Open it, and a seven or eight-year-old girl in a floral dress ran out.
Ouyang Yi raised his voice: "Qin'er!" Then he pushed aside the bushes and walked out.
Both Mu Qijun and Leng Mo have been caught by Ouyang Yi, and it is definitely not advisable to run away, so they obediently followed.
"Grandpa!" The girl rushed over and hugged Ouyang Yi's leg, and Ouyang Yi picked her up.
Leng Mo was surprised: "Grandpa?"
Mu Qijun said: "Is there really a child? And a girl? Then those things in Elder Ouyang's room have nothing to do with Liu Mei's mother and child?"
"Do you know Qin'er's toys in the old man's room?" Ouyang Yi said.
Mu Qijun hesitated: "This, this..."
"Uncle Ouyang, I have never heard that you are married and have a granddaughter?" Leng Mo said.
Ouyang Yi said: "That's natural. Qin'er is not the granddaughter of the old man at all."
"Then this is..." Leng Mo and Mu Qijun were dumbfounded.
"What is the relationship between this old man and this family? Why did you tell you two sneaky juniors?!" Ouyang Yi became angry and said angrily, "You not only followed this old man, but also searched my residence. What exactly are you going to do?"
"Senior, misunderstanding..."
"Ayi, what are you doing?"
When Mu Qijun and Leng Mo were at a loss what to do, another old woman with white hair but elegant charm came out of the farmer's house. Ouyang Yi saw the old woman's black face and put it away, "Mr. Zhu, you have been infected recently. When it’s windy and cold, don’t come out to blow air!”
"It's just a minor illness, and it's about to recover. These two are your nephews? Why don't you invite them in?" The old woman looked at Mu Qijun and Leng Mo.
Leng Mo saluted with his sword in his arms, and called out tentatively, "Su Wan?"
The old woman was slightly startled, but Ouyang Yi, who was taking off the jade around her waist and handing it to Qin'er for playing, said in surprise, "Do you know Suwan?"
"Uncle Ouyang has heard of this name?" Leng Mo secretly held Xuehua tightly, and stepped forward to block Mu Qijun without a trace, while paying attention to the old woman's expression from the corner of his eye.
Ouyang Yi took it for granted, "How come I haven't heard of it? Su Wan is the fiancée of my elder brother!"
Su Wan is Duan Peng's fiancée
However, it is not difficult to understand that Suwan only trusted Duan Peng at that time, and Duan Peng took care of her personally. It is natural for the two to develop a love affair over time.
Mu Qijun asked: "Senior Ouyang, do you know where Suwan is now?"
"I don't know. She disappeared a few months before Senior Brother Duan Peng passed away in an accident!" Ouyang Yi mentioned Su Wan, and there was an unabashed repulsion in his words, "I said earlier that the woman was crazy and let her go. Eldest brother was cautious about marrying her, but he didn't listen! She's just a slut, and the senior brothers turned against each other and fought... "
"Besides Senior Duan Peng, is there anyone else who is happy with Suwan?" Mu Qijun heard the key point of the words.
This anger seemed to have been held in Ouyang Yi's stomach for decades, and he immediately said: "Isn't it the third child? I don't know what kind of evil he has fallen in love with that idiot at first sight, and I have fought with the elder brother several times because of this." Dispute! The old man just said that beauty is a disaster..." At this point, he saw the displeased face of the old woman next to him, and hurriedly changed his words: "Mr. Zhu, I didn't mean that, I didn't mean you..."
Mu Qijun and Leng Mo looked at each other, both of them were shocked.
Du Hanfeng ever fell in love with Suwan
Du Hanfeng and Duan Peng are the same brothers at that time, they are about the same age, they are both senior disciples of the school, and they are entitled to freely leave the teacher's school and go down the mountain to practice. If he pretends to be Duan Peng and contacts Liu Mei, there will be no difficulty at all!
"Also!" Mu Qijun suddenly grabbed Leng Mo's arm, "Portrait! Ruoruo said that there is a portrait of a woman in Elder Du's room! That is, that is—"
Ouyang Yi, who was in a state of desperation, heard: "What? You also searched the house of the third child?"
At this moment, Leng Mo didn't care about etiquette and dignity, and completely ignored the elder with super strength in the family, and followed Mu Qijun's words: "Su Wan!"
