Kaohsiung, who had just experienced the pain of losing his son, stayed up all night. In order to calm his mind, he meditated in the courtyard all night.
Kaohsiung, sitting cross-legged on the ground, is like an old monk who has entered meditation, and his breathing has become like nothing.
Suddenly, he closed his eyes tightly, his ears moved slightly, and immediately opened his eyes. Looking at the gate of the house, he saw his cronies hurriedly running towards him.
"Patriarch."
That trusted confidant was still wearing the heavy armor from the battle. Although Kaohsiung hadn't slept all night, their subordinates were also arranging the funeral and never rested either.
The thick ink-like eyebrows were tightly clustered, and the center of the eyebrows made him lock into the shape of "Chuan".
Especially his dignified expression, coupled with the feeling that he was hesitant to say anything, made Kaohsiung's eyes show some depth.
"Ai, what's the matter, if you have anything, just say it directly."
The person who asked Kaohsiung to call Hajime pursed his lower lip, held the saber in his right hand, and let it go again and let out a deep breath.
"Patriarch, after I said it in a while, please don't get too excited."
"Say."
Kaohsiung's brows were tight, and there was no situation that was too emotional for him in his expectations.
The most problems that can be encountered are the comfort of the people in the city, and the follow-up compensation, which can be solved by spending some money at most.
Although the Xiao family still has to prepare the same amount of resources to turn over, the money for the compensation of the people in the city can still be taken out.
Hearing this, Ah Yi pursed his lower lip again, and took a step back, the heavy armor on his body also rattled.
"Master Gao Ruilong, he..."
"What happened to him?" Kaohsiung frowned.
"He... was killed last night."
As soon as the voice fell, Kaohsiung's eyes widened instantly while sitting on the ground. In an instant, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and splashed onto the cobblestone road ahead.
"Patriarch."
Ah, who came to report the situation, turned pale in shock, hurried to Kaohsiung's back and clasped his right hand on his back, pouring the purest immortal energy into his body.
When his celestial power entered his body, he discovered that the veins in Kaohsiung were seriously disordered.
The spiritual power is also quite violent, and it is directed at its veins without any rules.
Ah Yi immediately used his own immortal spiritual power as a guide to guide and pull in his body until the spiritual power in Kaohsiung's body was completely stabilized, and he took out an elixir from the ring and stuffed it into his mouth.
"cough cough..."
The blood clot in the throat coughed up, and Kaohsiung, who was unconscious, opened his eyes again.
His eyes were dull, and he pushed Hajime's hand away with a pale face, and said in the weakest tone.
"You said... Ruilong was killed?"
After waking up, Kaohsiung seemed to be decades old again. The pain of losing his son the day before had made him tired enough, but he didn't expect... It's not even twelve hours before his other son died.
Looking at the old Kaohsiung in front of him, Hajime's eyes showed a touch of sadness, and he nodded with gritted teeth.
"Yes, just now, someone came to report that when he went to Master Ruilong's house, he saw obvious signs of fighting in his yard, and when he entered the house, he saw Master Ah Yi lying in the room. In his living room, he pierced his heart to death with sharp energy. In Master Ruilong's house, there was a woman who died. The woman looked like a woman from the wind and dust, and her chest was completely pierced with spiritual power."
"Ruilong."
Kaohsiung, who sat up leaning against Hajime, groaned, his body trembling violently, and those eyes that were once sharp were now only dull and lonely.
"Patriarch, please don't be too sad. You are the backbone of the Gao family now. If something goes wrong with you, our family will really be in chaos."
For a long time, Kaohsiung was immersed in the sadness of Gao Ruilong's murder.
It wasn't until half an hour later that he walked out of his grief a little and stood up with the help of Hajime, his eyes full of sadness and a low voice.
"Take me there."
Gao Ruilong's murder shocked the entire Gao family. He only told the patriarch yesterday that he would inherit the Gao family's patriarch after three months, and he would be killed the next day. This was quite a big incident for the Gao family.
Clan elders, guest ministers.
Anyone who could have a say in the Gao family came to Gao Ruilong's house, and there were many people around who came to watch.
In the center of the group sits a beautiful woman in a long purple dress. This woman is his biological mother, Gao Ruilong, Kaohsiung's wife, the wife of the former Cai family leader, Cai Renfei's biological mother...
Li Lu!
She didn't cry or make trouble.
She just sat on the ground in a daze, with white hair on her shoulders, lying on her lap was the dead Gao Ruilong.
As everyone knows, this situation is the most worrying.
There is nothing more sad than death, and Li Lu is in this state now.
"Ma'am, please also condolences."
The surrounding clan elders and guest ministers all expressed their consolation, but Li Lu just sat there blankly without giving any response at all.
When everyone shook their heads in regret, there was a commotion in the crowd, and someone shouted.
"The patriarch is here."
In an instant, the position of the gate of the house is to make way. It didn't take long to see Ah Yi helping Kaohsiung walk in slowly from outside the house.
"Patriarch."
Everyone around them bowed and saluted, and Kaohsiung came to Gao Ruilong regardless.
His eyes lightly glanced at Gao Ruilong, who was lying motionless on the ground, and then at Li Lu, who was full of white hair and looked like a living dead.
A faint desolation flowed from the depths of his eyes, he closed his eyes forcefully and sighed.
"Who discovered it first."
A man in a plain robe immediately walked out of the crowd and fell to the ground on his knees.
"It's small."
"You... Why did you come to Ruilong's house for not following the clansmen in the city to appease the people?"
Under Kaohsiung's gaze, the man seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, his whole body shivering involuntarily.
In this situation, he had already guessed what Kaohsiung was thinking, and hurriedly bowed his head.
"Patriarch Mingjian, it was Young Master Ruilong who asked me to call him the next morning last night. He told us to walk around the city with us. The younger one was only ordered to do it. Master Ruilong was not killed by his subordinates."
"Really? Who can testify for you?"
"small... small..."
The man squirmed his lips and couldn't speak, and it was really only the two of them when Gao Ruilong told him about it.
"The patriarch Mingjian, the young man is shallow, but he has just entered the immortal. Master Ruilong is already the king of the fairy, how could the young man kill the young master Ruilong."
"In other words, no one can testify against you, right?"
Kaohsiung ignored the subordinate's explanation at all, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Take him down, Ling Chi!"
