When the rumor was spreading in the capital city.
In an extremely tranquil courtyard in the capital city.
This was the most central area of the capital city, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.
However, in this area, there was a stretch of undulating hills. Inside the hills on three sides, there was a bamboo forest which was as wide as the sea. In the bamboo forest, there was a small courtyard.
To be able to buy such a large piece of land in the most prosperous area of the capital, one had to have great power and wealth. Yet, the person who bought this place had to turn twenty percent of the land into a mountain and seventy percent into a bamboo forest. Only a small tranquil courtyard was built in the innermost area, which was only 1/10 of the land area.
The extravagance of the owner of this courtyard was really appalling!
However, such extravagance always had a high return!
In the courtyard, the bamboo woods rustled in the breeze, creating an indescribable tranquility in the poetic and picturesque atmosphere.
At this moment, in the breeze, a looming zither sound drifted in the bamboo forest, which seemed to be from the Ninth Heaven.
This music should only exist in the Heavens, but today, the mortals could hear it!
In the courtyard, there was a zither stand, and a young man dressed in white was sitting on a wheelchair. His fingers were nimbly and gracefully dancing on the zither strings, and the melodious sound of the zither, like flowing water, quietly flowed out.
A stick of incense was lit in front of the zither stand. Cyan smoke curled up and circled in the air before dissipating.
Another two girls in white clothes were standing quietly behind that young man.
Based on the demeanor of the three people, even though they were just standing still, they could still form a very beautiful scene.
It was as if even if thousands of enemies were to come at them at the same time, they would not be able to bear to destroy this artistic conception.
A soft sound of clothes fluttering in the wind was heard.
At this moment, a black and blue light flashed. Suddenly, a black shadow passed through the bamboo forest like a gust of wind and landed on the ground. Although the newcomer's movement technique was light and didn't carry the slightest aura, judging from the speed of his movements, there must be an urgent matter. However, when this person saw the scene in front of him, he did not say a word. He stood quietly to the side and did not make a single sound.
He didn't even breathe heavily in case of disturbing the tranquility in front of him.
Although there was an uninvited guest, the white-clothed young man's expression did not change. His white jade-like face was still immersed in the music. His ten fingers danced on the zither in a calm yet extremely fast manner. His two eyes were slightly narrowed, and his two beautiful eyebrows were naturally relaxed. It was as if he did not notice the unforeseen event in front of him.
Finally, with a sound of 'zheng', the zither sound suddenly stopped. However, the melodious sound still lingered in the air.
That young man in white clothes slowly withdrew his hands and let out a deep sigh. Raising his head, he closed his eyes while his black hair fell down naturally.
The black shadow moved one step forward. The moment he wanted to say something, the young man in white clothes stretched out one hand and slightly waved it.
The man in black silently retreated.
After a long time, the young man in white clothes opened his eyes again and blandly smiled. "Everything in the world has a soul. The end of the song is also the departure of the soul of the song I played. Feeling the soul of the zither and merging with one's own soul … This is a good thing to respect life, and also … a great respect to oneself. "
"At this moment, we can't disturb it." The young man in white clothes smiled and concluded. "So, no matter how important it is, we have to wait."
"Yes, young master." The black shadow lowered his head respectfully. His face was full of humility.
This man in black clothes was probably at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage. Apart from some super sects, he could be considered as one of the most powerful cultivators in the mortal world. However, in front of this young man in white clothes, he was like a servant who respected his master.
He behaved so lowly, but his face showed that he was willing to do it. It was from the bottom of his heart, and he even felt honored!
It was as if being a servant for this young man in white clothes was the happiest thing in his life!
"Now you can tell me." The white-clothed youth sat upright on the wheelchair, smiling as he stretched out his hand. On the other side, a white-clothed girl with bright eyes and white teeth handed him a snow-white silk handkerchief. The white-clothed youth casually took it, wiped his hand, and casually handed it back.
After a series of actions, he didn't even turn his head back. The girl in white clothes respectfully took the handkerchief with both hands.
"Mu Cheng-Bai of the Mu Clan died in the capital. It was said that the murderer was Ye Xiao from the Northern General's House. This incident has caused a great disturbance. The Mu Clan has sent out their best cultivators to the Chen-Xing City overnight to investigate the cause. "The man in black clothes lowered his head and said.
"Hmm?" The young man in white clothes put his hands on his belly and nodded slowly.
"There are many suspicious points about Mu Cheng-Bai's death. However, we can be sure that it was not Ye Xiao who killed him! So … I'm afraid that the Mu Clan has fallen into someone else's trap. The Mu Clan shouldn't be so blind … "The man in black clothes respectfully reported," First, Ye Xiao is a foppish young lord. He doesn't have the ability to kill Mu Cheng-Bai. Besides, Mu Cheng-Bai had two superior cultivators as his guards. It is not easy for him to kill three cultivators of the Grade of Renyuan … Second … "
He listed seven or eight points of doubt, and every point was well-founded and well-organized.
The young man in white clothes listened to him calmly and didn't interrupt. After listening to the analysis of the man in black clothes, he said, "That sounds reasonable …"
The man in black clothes showed a trace of excitement on his face. His black face even turned red. He said loudly, "Thank you for your compliment, my lord."
"But …" The young man in white clothes moved the corner of his mouth and smiled, "All of your suspicious points and analysis are based on the first one. That is … it was definitely not Ye Xiao who killed Mu Cheng-Bai. The other two are true. "
"However, if the first point is wrong, then everything will be reversed. Because of this mistake, we will fall into endless traps … Since Ye Xiao is not a suspect, then it must be someone else who killed him. If we can't find out who that person is … what should we do? We can only make one powerful enemy after another, and we think that we are right, but these enemies are all innocent … That is countless … blood feuds that will not end until one of us is dead! "
The young man in white clothes calmly looked at the man in black clothes.
"But …" The man in black clothes was sweating, "But this Ye Xiao really doesn't have the capability to do so … Everyone knows that …"
"Hmm? Everyone knows that? "The young man in white clothes smiled again," So what everyone knows is the truth? Do you really know that Ye Xiao doesn't have the capability to do so? Did you watch Ye Xiao grow up? Or did you personally test his capability? "
"I … I didn't." The man in black clothes was surprised.
"So, when Mu Cheng-Bai died, you were there and you saw someone else?" The young man in white clothes continued smiling.
"Well … I didn't …" The man in black clothes was surprised again.
"Well then, whether Ye Xiao could kill Mu Cheng-Bai or not, how did you come to such a conclusion?" The man in white frowned slightly. "That's right.
"…" The man in black clothes was speechless.
"There are always things that you can't think of, but there is nothing that you can't do. There are so many things that you can't figure out. You don't have any evidence, yet you make your own conclusions …" The young man in white clothes spoke blandly, "That is not wise."
"Yes." The man in black clothes was sweating profusely, "You are right, my lord."
"Why couldn't Ye Xiao kill Mu Cheng-Bai? Why couldn't he kill Mu Cheng-Bai? Why couldn't Mu Cheng-Bai have been killed by Ye Xiao? " The young man in white clothes looked up and spoke blandly, "Nothing is absolute in this world. Even if there is only a one percent chance that Ye Xiao could have killed Mu Cheng-Bai, then … there is a possibility that he could have killed Mu Cheng-Bai!"
What he said was really complicated.
However, everyone present understood what he meant.
"Well then … What should we do? Please tell us, my lord." The man in black clothes lowered his head.
"Add fuel to the fire." The young man in white clothes smiled gently and spoke softly, "The more people who die, the better. People from the Mu Clan, people from the Crown Prince, people from the government … It doesn't matter how many people die. However, that Ye Xiao cannot die. "
"Well … Why?" The man in black clothes was completely confused.
[Didn't the young master say that Ye Xiao was a suspect? Why can't he die?]
"If Ye Xiao dies, the hatred will be over. It will fade away. It will disappear. Everything will be fine." The young man in white clothes had a strange cold smile on his face, "Peace is not a good thing."
"Yes." The man in black clothes spoke respectfully.
"So, I don't care who the Mu Clan sends this time, I want them all dead!" The white-clothed youth smiled warmly and said, "Dead … It could be the work of other clans, the Ye Clan, the other princes, or the sects in the Jianghu … Hei Jiu, do you understand?"
"I understand!" The man in black clothes cupped his fists and bowed with sincerity.
"And … news about the clans, the other two kingdoms, and the grassland. How are things going?" The young man in white clothes smiled gently and asked, "I have waited for one more day. Do I still have to wait?!"
