"There is indeed such a thing, but this is already five years ago. Moreover, we have already apologized to each other and the matter has already been resolved. Zhao Taiyu is not the kind of person who holds grudges. Moreover, when the elixir was stolen, he was always with us. It shouldn't be him." Yun Fan said. Yun Fan was very clear about what kind of person Zhao Taiyu was.
"Young City Lord, now that the five of them are suspects, we can't rule them out. We will only know after an investigation." Xiao Chen said with a smile. He was very good at understanding Yun Fan's mood. Who would want their good friends and brothers to betray them?
"Yun Fan, Brother Xiao Chen is right. Even if it isn't Zhao Taiyu, we still need to investigate." Yun Qinghong said in agreement.
"Commander Tian Yue, I will have to trouble you to find the guards and other people to investigate. See who is more suspicious that day. It might be helpful to us." Xiao Chen looked at Qin Tianyue and said.
Qin Tianyue nodded and said, "Okay, I will go investigate now!"
Xiao Chen then left the main hall and headed towards Zhao Taiyu's room.
Xiao Chen just arrived at Zhao Taiyu's room and coincidentally, Zhao Taiyu just came out of his room. Xiao Chen was stunned and immediately asked, "Where is Young City Lord going?"
"Brother Xiao Chen?" Zhao Taiyu was also stunned and then smiled, "It's too boring to stay in the room. I was just thinking of going out for a walk. Brother Xiao Chen, please come in."
"I hope I didn't disturb Young City Lord?" Xiao Chen smiled politely.
Zhao Taiyu shook his head and said with a smile, "I won't. Having someone to chat with is better than being alone. Brother Xiao Chen, please take a seat. "He also poured a cup of tea for Xiao Chen.
"Thank you, Young City Lord." Xiao Chen smiled politely.
"Brother Xiao Chen, do you know Luo Sha Palace? Why did Feng Ming Dharma Protector go to Luo Sha Palace and you guys came back? "Zhao Taiyu asked doubtfully.
"I do. It was the Luo Sha Palace Master who asked us to come here together to investigate the theft and prove Lady Dan Tong's innocence," Xiao Chen said with a smile. He discovered that Zhao Taiyu's eyes did not avoid his gaze in the slightest.
Zhao Taiyu nodded and said with a smile, "I know why Brother Xiao Chen is here. If you have any questions, just ask."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have any questions. After all, when the pills were stolen, all of you were with Young City Lord Yun Fan. I just want to know more about the others from you."
"Understand other people?" Zhao Taiyu couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't know why Xiao Chen would say such a thing, nor did he know who Xiao Chen was suspecting.
"That's right. You have a good relationship with Ren Qiushui, Liu Yuesong, Gao Jianfeng, and Kong Chengtian. Who do you think is the most suspicious among them?" Xiao Chen asked.
Zhao Taiyu shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Although Ren Qiushui is arrogant, he definitely wouldn't do something like stealing. It's impossible for someone who cares about their reputation to steal. Kong Chengtian wouldn't do it either. As for Gao Jianfeng, he's gentle and elegant, a true gentleman. It's even more impossible for him to steal. And Liu Yuesong, he's loyal and righteous. He has the best relationship with Yun Fan and is like a brother to him. He wouldn't do anything to betray Yun Fan, so I don't know who did it."
"I see." Xiao Chen smiled and said. He then chatted with Zhao Taiyu for a while before leaving.
"Xiao Chen, is this Zhao Taiyu not suspicious?" The Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission asked.
The little fox said, "Master, I think it's impossible for this Zhao Taiyu to be the culprit."
"Zhao Taiyu is the same as what Feng Ming Dharma Protector said. I don't know who it is either. Zhao Taiyu doesn't have the aura of a Grade 5 pill." Xiao Chen said with a smile. This matter was getting more and more troublesome. Xiao Chen was secretly depressed because he didn't have any clues.
Xiao Chen then went to Gao Jianfeng's room. At this moment, Gao Jianfeng was leisurely sipping tea in his room.
When Xiao Chen arrived at the door, before he even knocked, Gao Jianfeng's faint laughter could be heard. "Brother Xiao Chen, please come in. Don't be so polite."
"This guy is amazing! It seems like he knew I was coming! A Ghost Emperor in the late stage is really not simple. "Xiao Chen thought to himself. He then pushed the door open and entered.
"Hehe, I am Xiao Chen. Greetings, Young City Lord." Xiao Chen said with a faint smile.
Gao Jianfeng was handsome, elegant, and cultured. He was dressed in a gorgeous white brocade. His entire body was emitting a noble aura. One look and one could tell that he had a great background.
"Xiao Chen, this guy is really like what they said. He is cultured and a gentleman." Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission said.
Gao Jianfeng looked at Xiao Chen and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao Chen, please take a seat. Don't be so polite."
"Gao Jianfeng doesn't have the aura of a pill. He doesn't look like someone who is easily tempted by a Grade 5 pill." Xiao Chen thought to himself. His first impression was that Gao Jianfeng wasn't a thief.
"Thank you." Xiao Chen said with a smile. He didn't stand on ceremony and found a seat to sit down.
Gao Jianfeng looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "Who is Brother Xiao Chen? I have never seen Miss Dantong talk about you. "
Xiao Chen also looked at Gao Jianfeng and said with a smile, "It seems that Young City Lord and Miss Dantong have a good relationship."
Xiao Chen directly avoided Gao Jianfeng's question. After all, Xiao Chen was just inquiring about Yi Dantong's matter in the Luo Sha Palace. So, Xiao Chen couldn't say that he didn't know her, right? If so, others would definitely think that Xiao Chen was meddling in other people's business.
Gao Jianfeng didn't ask and said with a smile, "Dantong often comes to Blood Net City to play."
Xiao Chen nodded and said with a smile, "I wonder what Young City Lord thinks about this theft?"
"I won't express my opinion on this matter. If I express my opinion too much, others will misunderstand." Gao Jianfeng said with a smile. His tone was calm, without the slightest worry.
"Young City Lord's words are reasonable. If there are too many disputes, it will be easy for others to misunderstand. But if some things are not said, misunderstandings will never be eliminated. Just like the theft, if no one investigates, there will never be the truth." Xiao Chen said with a smile. His eyes were fixed on Gao Jianfeng's eyes.
"It seems that Brother Xiao Chen is very confident that you can find the thief." Gao Jianfeng said with a smile.
Xiao Chen spread out his hands and said with a bitter smile, "Since I promised someone, I have to do my best to find the thief. Otherwise, I will be going back on my words."
"Brother Xiao Chen, if it is really one of the five of us, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble? Whether it is the Fire Thunder Palace or the Colored Glaze Palace, each of them is very powerful. Why do you want to put yourself in a desperate situation? "Gao Jianfeng looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
Xiao Chen said with a smile, "Tempering oneself in a desperate situation will allow one to become stronger."
"Brother Xiao Chen's courage is commendable, but you must be careful." Gao Jianfeng said with a smile.
"Many thanks for the reminder, Young City Lord. I will take my leave." Xiao Chen cupped his fists and said with a smile. He then left the room. Xiao Chen knew that even if he continued to ask, he wouldn't get anything out of Gao Jianfeng. There was no need to waste time.
"Xiao Chen, this Gao Jianfeng can't be the thief." The Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission said.
Xiao Chen said with a bitter smile, "We can't be sure now. I hope that the other two can find something."
Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Xiao Chen went to talk to Kong Chengtian and Liu Yuesong, but they still couldn't find any clues. It could be said that from the beginning until now, they didn't find anything. This made Xiao Chen very depressed.
The little fox said with a voice transmission, "Master, the five of them didn't find anything. What should we do?"
"Swish!"
At this moment, a black shadow flashed past Xiao Chen at an astonishing speed.
"Who is it?" Xiao Chen suddenly shouted and chased after it. The Ghost Domain was dark, and it was a black-clothed man. It was hard for the guards of the Will-O-Wisp City to detect him.
"Master, he went to the forest on the left!" The little fox said with a voice transmission. No matter how fast the black-clothed man was, he couldn't escape from the little fox's divine senses.
Xiao Chen increased his speed and chased after him. A few minutes later, Xiao Chen arrived at the forest. The black-clothed man didn't escape and seemed to be luring Xiao Chen over.
"Late-stage Ghost Emperor. Impressive. Tell me. Why did you lure me over? Are you the one who stole it? "Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"Xiao Chen, I advise you to stop investigating this matter. Otherwise, you will die miserably!" The black-clothed man said coldly. His voice was hoarse and Xiao Chen couldn't tell who it was.
"I am afraid of everything but death. Since you don't want me to investigate, even if the thief wasn't you, it must have something to do with you. Who are you? What grudge do you have with the Young City Lord? "Xiao Chen smiled and asked. He was indeed fearless.
"I have no grudge with him. Xiao Chen, you will regret it if you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit." The black-clothed man snorted and wanted to leave after he finished speaking.
"Trying to leave? Don't even think about it! "Xiao Chen shouted coldly. He stepped on the void and flew away at an astonishing speed.
"Hmph!" The black-clothed man snorted. His eyes flashed with disdain. He then turned into wisps of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.
"It's gone!" Xiao Chen frowned and looked around with a grave expression.
"Master, his aura has disappeared. What a strange movement skill." Little Fox transmitted a message. Divine Sense couldn't find anything either.
"I just talked to the five Young Masters and someone came to find me. Who could it be?" Xiao Chen frowned and wondered. The sky was dark and the black-clothed man's face was covered. Xiao Chen couldn't recognize him at all. Moreover, his voice was different too.
Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission said, "This guy must be the thief."
Xiao Chen frowned and said, "I know. Since he has no grudge with the Young City Lord, why would he steal the elixir? What is his motive? "
"Xiao Chen, no matter what his motive is, we know that the black-clothed man is still in Will-O-Wisp City! We must find him! "Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission said.
"Master, are we still going to use the method of luring the snake out of its hole?" Little Fox transmitted a message and asked.
"Yes, of course. The black-clothed man will definitely not let me go. He will definitely think of a way to deal with me. If we leave Will-O-Wisp City, it will undoubtedly be his best chance." Xiao Chen transmitted a message and said with a smile, "Let's go back and tell the City Lord. Then, we will head back to Luo Sha Palace. There will definitely be people who will kill us halfway."
Little Fox transmitted a message and said with a smile, "As long as we catch them, we will be able to find out who is the mastermind."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "That's right. I want to uncover the black-clothed man's true identity!"
