Humph, he came so fast.
Lin Mengya's words just now were meant for these people to hear.
With so many people around, she was not afraid of Qian Yuming's tricks.
A trace of regret flashed across Qian Yuming's eyes.
He looked at Lin Mengya viciously. Obviously, his hatred had deepened.
It didn't matter. Anyway, Lin Mengya knew that sooner or later, she would offend all these people. Now, it was just a prelude.
His calm face showed no panic at all. But Elder Qian, who was beside him, was a little excited, as if a dog would do something desperate.
"What happened?"
Surrounded by several disciples, Nan Rui asked knowingly.
Qian Yuming immediately added fuel to the fire and blamed Lin Mengya and her companions for Du Zhong's death.
Although his words were a little harsh, they were vivid and lifelike.
If they didn't know, they would think that Qian Yuming had really witnessed the whole process.
Nan Rui and the two disciples of the Duanmu family looked just and strict. They didn't say anything and looked at each other. So they first politely greeted Lin Mengya and her companions.
"Your Highness, this is related to a person's life. I think that with your identity, you naturally wouldn't do such a thing easily. But after all, Du Zhong's death is strange. I wonder if Your Highness can help me to get to the bottom of this matter? "
Although Nan Rui's words were polite, Lin Mengya had a feeling that the old guy was up to no good.
But if she refused. People would say that she bullied others and didn't cooperate because she had a guilty conscience.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya didn't give a direct answer.
"Elder Nan is right. There is indeed something strange about this matter. Why don't we talk about it here? Since everyone is here, we won't have any trouble in the future. "
In this way, Nan Rui and his companions couldn't interrupt.
At the critical moment when they were talking, Du Zhong's body had been carried out by several people.
Zuo Qiuyu and Long Tianhao were watching him. Surely, no one dared to do anything.
Therefore, Qian Yuming's face became more and more gloomy.
It was dark in the ice cellar, so Lin Mengya could not see clearly.
However, now that he was exposed to the sunlight, everyone could clearly see that Du Zhong's face was densely covered with needle holes.
However, the pinhole was as thin as a cow's hair. On his face, it was just a tiny red dot.
His eyes were wide open, and there was a strange smile on his face.
Looking at it now, it was a little scary.
However, everyone in the Pavilion of Herbs had seen all kinds of illnesses. In the end, it didn't attract any attention.
Lin Mengya walked up to Du Zhong on purpose, pointed at his right hand and said,
"He was holding the key to a box. However, I would like to ask all the elders. This box had clearly been given to Prince Shen as a tool for the competition. Why would Du Zhong have the key to this box? Did someone do it on purpose, or did Du Zhong plot against Commandery Prince Shen? "
Lin Mengya launched an attack first, which caught Nan Rui and the others off guard.
However, after all, the older, the wiser. Nan Rui's eyes changed for a while, and then his face turned cold. He looked at Du Zhong, who was already dead, very unkindly.
"Damn it! How could he do such a shameless thing? He deserved to die! "
Hearing Nan Rui's words, Qian Yuming was naturally a little unhappy.
"Elder Nan, this matter might have been framed by someone! Moreover, this is the ice cellar. Since Prince Shen got the box, why didn't he find a way to open it in his own place? Why did he come to the ice cellar? Moreover, I sent Du Zhong to entertain all of you out of goodwill. He died in such a dubious way. Your Highness, you have to give me an explanation! "
Was he determined to pour the dirty water on her?
Lin Mengya sneered and fixed her eyes on Qian Yuming.
"Because this is a box with an abstruse secret. If he didn't open it in the ice cellar, it would be Prince Shen who died. "
It was just a simple sentence, but it caused the expressions of the elders to change at the same time.
Lin Mengya knew that these people must know what was in the box with an abstruse secret.
However, if they wanted to open the box with an abstruse secret, they had to sacrifice one person. If they could take the opportunity to get rid of Zuo Qiuyu, it would save them a lot of trouble.
However, this matter should have been plotted in secret. Lin Mengya never played her cards according to common sense. She revealed it in broad daylight.
This time, they had shot themselves in the foot!
"It turned out to be a box with an abstruse secret! Elder Nan, since Prince Shen has drawn the box with an abstruse secret, it must be God's will! "
Chang Tianhua must have been kept in the dark. Therefore, when Lin Mengya mentioned the box with an abstruse secret, he did not show a look of astonishment.
Nan Rui's face was gloomy, but there were so many disciples around.
He had no choice but to swallow this loss in secret.
"This … must be a mistake! The box with an abstruse secret is a precious treasure of the pavilion. How could it be treated as an ordinary item in the competition? The Elder in charge of safekeeping must have made a mistake. Since the Regional King had obtained it by accident, Since Prince Shen got it by accident, please return it. "
Duanmu Yang, who had been silent, hurriedly put on a smile and said politely.
However, Lin Mengya snorted coldly, and there was a hint of fierceness in her phoenix-like eyes. Even Duanmu Yang could not help but shrink his neck when she looked at him with her sharp eyes.
"Why didn't you recognize it when Prince Shen brought it back? Now that the box has been opened, you come to rob it openly! To tell you the truth, I'm here to supervise on His Majesty's order! "
At this moment, Lin Mengya took out the Black Dragon Token that she had been carrying with her.
There was some fear in the eyes of Nan Rui and the others. However, what was buried deep in their eyes was the greed for the supreme power of the Black Dragon Token.
Lin Mengya just glanced at them and understood that these people did not dare to make trouble openly because of the deterrence of the Black Dragon Token.
However, they would definitely not be lacking in their little tricks in the dark.
"Since it's the Black Dragon Token, we must obey your words, Your Highness. However, this box with an abstruse secret is really important. Your Highness, please let the elders of the pavilion take care of it for the time being. "
After holding back for a long time, Nan Rui did not give up.
However, the box with an abstruse secret was indeed important. In addition to the elders, even the eyes of the disciples were filled with a hint of hope.
Now, Lin Mengya and the others could not refuse.
She turned around and glanced at Zuo Qiuyu, who shook his head cautiously. The bronze-colored key looked even more primitive under the sunlight.
With a thought, a plan had formed in her mind.
"I can let you take care of it for the time being. However, since the things inside were obtained by Prince Shen, they should belong to him. If you have any objection, I'll destroy the key on the spot! "
No one expected that Lin Mengya would agree to the exchange.
However, her request put Nan Rui and the others in a difficult position.
"I agree. The box with an abstruse secret belongs to the fated one. Since Prince Shen was the first to get it, according to the rules, it should belong to Prince Shen. "
At this moment, Chang Tianhua increased his offer unhurriedly.
The other elders, on the other hand, were cursing in their hearts.
Everyone in the Pavilion of Herbs knew that this old man had colluded with Princess Anle and the others to set them up.
Now, he was not going to turn around and cheat them!
Lin Mengya exchanged a look with Chang Tianhua and they had a tacit understanding.
Although the medicine developed by him had made Lin Mengya suffer a lot. However, this old man was really good and sensible!
"This … this …"
Nan Rui did not speak, but Qian Yuming was almost going to eat him up. Therefore, Duanmu Yang also seemed to be in a difficult position.
After a long time, he finally saw Nan Rui nodding his head. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, according to the rules, the box with an abstruse secret belongs to the fated one. Even if we take care of it, we will return it immediately after the competition."
Lin Mengya sneered in her heart. Don't think that she did not understand the meaning of Duanmu Yang's words.
The fated one would get it, but he did not state who the fated one was.
However, it seemed that they did not know the other use of the box with an abstruse secret.
After whispering a few words to Zuo Qiuyu, they entered the ice cellar. After a while, they came out with the empty box.
In front of everyone, Zuo Qiuyu put the key into the box.
With a clack, the box with an abstruse secret was closed in front of everyone. It was as if no one had opened it before.
"Take it away quickly! If you mix it with other things again, I'll hold you accountable! "
Duanmu Yang immediately instructed the elder in charge of these things to carefully take the box with an abstruse secret away from Zuo Qiuyu's hands.
Seeing the irrepressible excitement in their eyes, Lin Mengya felt even more disgusted with these people.
All of them were up to no good. For the sake of benefits, they would disregard human lives.
These people deserved to be punished!
"Elders, although the box with an abstruse secret is temporarily placed with you. However, shouldn't my cousin have the priority to win this round? After all, the key to the secret realm of the Chief Elder is in the box with an abstruse secret. According to the rules of the pavilion, anyone who is fated to obtain the key in the box with an abstruse secret has the priority to run for the position of the Chief Elder, right? "
The moment these words came out, even Zuo Qiuyu could not help but lift his head and stare at the lady in front of him in shock.
In an instant, the faces of Qian Yuming and the others darkened.
This was because this rule was a secret of the Pavilion of Herbs.
Apart from some ancient books, only the Chief Elder of each generation should know about this.
However, there were some elders in the Pavilion who were in charge of inheritance who knew about this rule.
However, there were some things that had been sealed up by them together. How could …
