"Remember, hide your tracks. Don't let anyone discover your existence." Lin Qian waved his hand at the Xun Bing in front of him, signaling them to move.
"After you're done, go to the secret valley behind the Myriad Phenomenon Sect and check on Gao Yuefei."
"Yes!" The Xun Bing nodded. His figure turned into a black shadow and jumped down the cliff.
Lin Qian walked to the edge of the cliff. His long hair fluttered in the wind as he watched the Xun Bing jump down the cliff and disappear.
The portrait formed by the Lightning Soul Power also dissipated and turned into specks of golden light that floated in the air.
Finally, Lin Qian turned around and walked back to his room. He believed in the strength of his empire's soldiers, and he would receive good news the next day.
The next morning.
Lin Qian, who was sitting cross-legged on his bed, had just finished cultivating. When he got up, the door to his room was knocked open.
"Shidi, how did you do it?" Charging into the room, Gao Benli asked Lin Qian in shock.
Lin Qian looked at Gao Benli and said indifferently, "What?"
"What? Qian Long and the others were all found dead in the house. The method was exactly the same. They were stabbed from the back, and their throats were cut off. "
"There were only these two wounds on their bodies. There weren't any signs of struggle in the house."
"It can be seen that the person who did it was an expert in assassination and was stronger than them. Otherwise, when one is cultivating, their senses will be magnified. People who are at the same level or below would have been discovered long ago. "
Gao Benli looked at Lin Qian with a strange expression. "You little brat, I can't see through you anymore."
Lin Qian shrugged his shoulders and said to Gao Benli, who was in front of him, "The people arranged around you have all been killed. Let Ding Zhirong and the others out."
"Is there a need for you to tell me that? Those fellows died too cleanly. Not even the slightest bit of information could be sent back. I can finally relax now." After saying that, Gao Benli spread out his hands and said in a carefree manner.
"The problem with your body has been resolved, but what happened to your grandfather?" Lin Qian's brow furrowed as he asked in puzzlement.
In response to Lin Qian's question, Gao Benli was also very puzzled. "I'm not sure. After coming back this time, grandfather rarely saw me. After so long, we've only seen each other four times."
"So little. Logically speaking, you're his favorite grandson. Don't tell me you didn't live with him?" Hearing Gao Benli's answer, Lin Qian was very surprised.
For example, Lei Qian's grandfather, Lei Heng, loved him dearly. He requested that Lei Qian return to live with him after he finished cultivating.
After all, Lei Qian only had this one grandson. To be able to live together and see his precious grandson every day, this was the most basic feeling Lei Heng had as a grandfather.
Gao Benli's situation was very similar to Lei Qian's. Both his parents had passed away and he grew up with his grandfather.
Now, Gao Yuefei actually did not live with his grandson. After so long, they had only seen each other four times. This was really strange.
"Strange, right? I also feel that it's strange." Gao Benli rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully. "Grandfather has always lived in seclusion, but he holds the power of the sect in his hands. Every time I request to see him, I leave regretfully."
"Of the four times I saw him, the first time was when I returned. As for the other three times, they were when I allowed those fellows to do as they pleased. Some elders of the sect complained to grandfather and made a big fuss. They had no choice but to see me and ask me to restrain their behavior. "
"But in my opinion, grandfather only said that and did not seem to care about this matter. It was as if he was dealing with those elders and putting on an act. Otherwise, he would not have seen me three times. "
Clearly, Gao Benli was also confused and did not understand the situation before him.
"If that's the case, it feels like your grandfather is avoiding you because he's afraid that you'll discover something." Lin Qian said to Gao Benli as he walked towards the front yard. "You're his grandson. What can't he tell you?"
Gao Benli agreed with his junior brother's words as he followed Lin Qian to the front yard. "That's right, I really don't understand."
As Lin Qian and Gao Benli chatted as they walked, they unknowingly arrived at the front yard.
At this moment, a few footsteps could be heard from outside the front yard, as well as some doubtful discussions.
"Strange, strange. Why would Gao Benli let us go after those fellows died?"
"Who knows? But those tyrannical bastards deserve to die. Who knows how many brothers from the sects have been harmed by them."
As the sounds of discussion approached, a few figures walked into the front yard.
The person walking at the front even shouted after entering the yard, "Boss, I've brought them back for you!"
"Mm, no need to shout. I saw them," Lin Qian replied as he looked at Lei Qian.
The person walking at the front was naturally Lei Qian, and the four people behind him were naturally Ding Zhirong, Zhao Haiming, Li Letian, and Wang Lanxin.
"Eh, it's so lively!" At this moment, Ye Lin also arrived with Bai Ren on her back.
It was naturally not good to stay in bed, so Ye Lin carried Bai Ren and prepared to go to the front yard to bask in the sun. Coincidentally, she heard the discussions and quickened her footsteps.
In the next moment, the entire yard was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
"Gao Benli!" Other than Lin Qian and Gao Benli, the other seven people present all exclaimed in unison.
"Hahaha, everyone is so surprised to see me. I'm flattered." Gao Benli laughed heartily and waved at them. "Let me introduce myself again. I'm Gao Benli, this kid's senior brother."
At this point, Gao Benli punched Lin Qian's chest.
Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at Gao Benli, then turned to look at Lin Qian, as if seeking confirmation.
Lin Qian saw that everyone was looking at him and nodded lightly. "That's right, he is indeed my senior brother."
At this point, Lin Qian looked at Ding Zhirong and the other three. "Because of this, he only locked you guys up. Otherwise, wouldn't it be much easier to just cripple you guys? "
A moment later, as they chatted and Lin Qian's explanation, everyone finally understood what had happened.
"I'm really sorry for making you suffer." In the end, Gao Benli apologized to Bai Ren and bowed deeply.
Seeing that Gao Benli had lowered himself, the remaining resentment in Bai Ren's heart dissipated. "Senior Brother Gao, after all, you've already prepared healing pills for me. I can understand."
Everything was resolved, and everyone chatted enthusiastically. They were especially curious about Gao Benli.
"Oh no!" Suddenly, Lin Qian's expression changed drastically. He looked at Gao Benli beside him. "Senior Brother, your grandfather is already dead!"
