"I hope your plan is as perfect as you say." Xue Qingqing also heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the Chen Family did not have evidence, they could not say that Chen Song was killed by the Ye Family.
Tonight, the Ye Family was very peaceful, but the Chen Family was different.
At this moment, in the Chen Family's main hall, there was a coffin. Lying in the coffin was the young master of the Chen Family, Chen Song, who was shot in the head by Ye Xuan.
Around the coffin sat the upper echelons of the Chen Family.
"Patriarch, this must be the work of the Ye Family!" A Chen Family upper echelon said.
The Chen Family was one of the Four Great Families in Lianyun City. Over the years, there had never been a case of a Chen Family member being killed. However, today, the nephew of the Chen Family's Patriarch had died. It was not difficult to link this to the Ye Family.
"I think so too. However, there are many suspicious points about Chen Song's death."
The Chen Family's Patriarch, Chen Xiang, frowned. After a pause, he said, "First, Chen Song was killed by a bow and arrow. Second, the murderer shot him from at least fifty meters away. Third, the Ye Family did not have a motive to kill Chen Song. Could it be that Chen Song only hit Ye Xuan's maid? "
"Then Patriarch means that someone is framing the Ye Family?" The Chen Family upper echelon said.
"There is this possibility. However, the Ye Family is not completely free of suspicion. This could be a method used by the Ye Family to confuse us! Other than the three suspicious points, there is another point. Our Lianyun City does not seem to have a high level martial artist who uses a bow and arrow. To be able to kill Chen Song by condensing spiritual energy into an arrow, this person must be at least a Sixth Stage Martial Path expert or a Fifth Stage Archery Martial Art. "Chen Xiang was still frowning.
Chen Song was his nephew and one of the Four Heroes of the Chen Family. His death made him very sad.
When everyone heard this, they nodded silently.
Indeed, Lianyun City did not seem to have heard of an expert who used a bow and arrow.
"Patriarch, even if the experts of the other families practiced bow and arrow, we would not know. Moreover, the murderer could have come from somewhere else. What should we do? "Someone asked.
"This matter needs to be considered at length. However, since he dared to kill a member of my Chen Clan, I will definitely not let this matter rest. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will drag out the murderer."
Chen Xiang angrily turned his head and said, "You guys, send people to the major families to find out if there are any foreign experts."
"Yes!"
The group of people retreated.
After they left, Chen Xiang did not leave. He sat on the chair and muttered, "Damn it. Second Brother will be back tomorrow. If he knows that his son is dead, I wonder what will happen."
…
The next day, the news of Chen Song's death spread to all the big families and the Ye family.
After learning of this matter, Ye Zhang and the four elders were shocked and hurried to Ye Xuan's residence.
"Ye Xuan, is Chen Song's death your fault?"
Ye Zhang went straight to the point as soon as he entered the house.
At this time, Ye Xuan was sitting in the courtyard with Xue Qingqing and Liu 'er drinking breakfast. When Ye Xuan heard this, he pretended to be stunned and said, "Chen Song is dead?"
"Ye Xuan, let's not beat around the bush. Did you kill him?" Ye Zhang asked.
Liu'er was also shocked as she turned to look at Ye Xuan.
"No!" Ye Xuan shook his head.
This answer disrupted Ye Zhang's thoughts. He frowned and said, "Last night, when Chen Song went out, he was shot in the head with a bow and arrow. He died in one hit!"
"It's good that he's dead. He deserved it!" Ye Xuan replied calmly.
He killed Chen Song with his own hands, but he felt that it was better not to let Ye Zhang and the others know.
"But why do I feel like you killed him?"
Ye Zhang frowned and continued, "According to the witnesses, Chen Song had two peak fourth-stage martial path fourth-stage bodyguards behind him. However, Chen Song was shot dead by a bow and arrow from dozens of meters away. Even a peak fifth-stage martial path cultivator couldn't react in time. Therefore, I speculate that the person who killed him is at least a sixth-stage martial path cultivator who is proficient in archery or has a fifth-grade archery technique... "
"Uncle, there should be a limit to your suspicions. Firstly, I'm not a sixth-stage martial path cultivator. Secondly, I've never touched a bow and arrow. Thirdly, I don't have a fifth-grade archery technique. Why are you suspecting me?" Ye Xuan put down his teacup and asked slowly.
Ye Zhang was also stunned.
Indeed, Ye Xuan didn't fulfill any of the conditions, but why did he feel that Ye Xuan was the one who killed Chen Song?
"Apart from you, I don't think I've heard of anyone wanting to kill Chen Song. Furthermore, your performance is a little too calm, "the first elder said.
"Grand Elder, should I be afraid now that Chen Song is dead? It's not like I killed him! "Ye Xuan still had a carefree expression on his face.
"You really didn't kill him?" Ye Zhang still asked doubtfully.
"No!" Ye Xuan shook his head, refusing to admit it even if he was beaten to death.
Although Ye Zhang and the four elders felt that Ye Xuan was a little strange, the facts proved that Ye Xuan didn't have the ability to do so, so they could only choose to believe him.
After they left, Liu 'er didn't wait for Xue Qingqing to speak before whispering, "Young Master, thank you..."
"Silly girl." Ye Xuan only smiled and didn't say anything else.
News of Chen Song's death had already spread throughout Lianyun City. The Chen Family had also sent people to the Ye Family, but they returned without success.
Ye Xuan originally thought that this matter was over, but on the third day after Chen Song's death, a letter was suddenly delivered to him.
"Who sent this?" Ye Xuan looked at the Ye Family's guard in surprise.
"I'm not very sure. The person who sent the letter was just an errand boy, but he said that this letter needs to be opened by you, Young Master!" The Ye Family's guard shook his head.
"Alright, then you may leave."
Ye Xuan nodded.
Ye Xuan felt that logically, no one would write a letter to him. Moreover, the letter in his hand had nothing written on it, which made him feel a little strange.
He tore open the envelope and took out the letter. After he finished reading the contents of the letter, a burst of spiritual energy surged out and shook the letter into countless pieces.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
Liu 'er, who was sitting on a stone chair and sewing a set for Ye Xuan, asked in surprise.
"Liu 'er, how long has Qingqing been out?" Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Sister Qingqing has been out for more than four hours. Young Master, did something happen to Sister Qingqing?" Liu 'er asked.
Ye Xuan forced a smile and said, "No, that girl wanted to buy something but didn't bring money, so she called me over. Liu 'er, you stay at home. I'm going out to buy something as well."
"Okay."
