Yun Chen asked many more questions. After asking for a long time, Qin Yi answered all of them fluently.
"Yi Qingzi, right? The outside world thinks that I'm an unreasonable person. Don't worry, since you can prove that you're innocent and have worked for the Shi family, you can be counted as someone who has done things for me. Why would I make things difficult for you? "
Qin Yi was overjoyed. "Lord Clan Elder, does this mean that you're going to let me go?"
"Of course. Am I someone who would kill the innocent? "Yun Chen said indifferently.
"Someone, send this Yi Qingzi away," Yun Chen ordered.
Qin Yi was suspicious. He felt that this Yun Chen wasn't someone who would be easy to talk to. Why would he let him go?
In Qin Yi's heart, he was ready for a bloody battle.
If it wasn't for the fact that Qin Yi had some confidence in breaking out, he wouldn't have come with them.
Even after walking out of Yun Chen's residence, Qin Yi still felt that it was strange. However, he didn't say anything and left on his own.
After Qin Yi left, one of his subordinates asked unwillingly, "Lord Clan Elder, this brat's answers were steady and his thinking was quick. He doesn't look simple. Even if we don't kill him, we should imprison him first. When we have more clues in the future, we can deal with him later. "
Yun Chen laughed coldly. "This brat is extremely cunning. He's indeed not simple. I even suspect that this brat has something to do with Chao 'er's death. "
"Ah? Then why did you let him go? "
"Let him go?" Yun Chen said coldly. "The capital is so big. Without my permission, it's easy for him to enter, but difficult for him to leave. Tell all the city gates to keep a close eye on him. We definitely can't let this brat leave. "
"Clan Elder, why not just capture him? Wouldn't that be safer?"
"Hmph! The sixth elder's death, these rumors, and now Chao 'er's death. Do you think that if this person is suspicious, he can handle it alone? "
"This …" That person thought for a moment and shook his head. "If there's something wrong with this brat, he definitely has many accomplices. Not to mention anything else, he definitely can't beat the sixth elder. I'm afraid that Chao Shao might not have been assassinated by this brat. "
"Hmm, this kid doesn't look that old. If there's a problem, he's definitely just a small chess piece." Yun Chen said coldly, "It's precisely because he's just a small chess piece that I let him go."
"Lord Clan Elder, are you always going to use this little chess piece to change the entire game? Brilliant! "
"Humph! In any case, it was a clue. He had to grasp this clue and follow it to the melon. He had to get to the bottom of it. No matter who it is, I, Yun Chen, will make sure that whoever dares to lay a hand on my grandson will die without a burial! "
Yun Chen's tone was filled with deep resentment.
"Remember, send more clever people to keep an eye on this kid. Don't stare too hard either. Don't alert them, "Yun Chen ordered.
Just as they were talking, a servant came in and reported, "Lord Clan Elder, the Second Clan Elder and a few other Clan Elders have come to visit."
"What are they doing here?" Yun Chen's face darkened.
"They seem to be here to offer their condolences …"
According to Yun Chen's temperament, he would obviously want them all to scram. Crying like a cat crying like a mouse at a time like this, what good intentions could they have?
However, reason told Yun Chen that he had to remain calm before shedding all pretense of cordiality.
"Let them in." Yun Chen obviously couldn't personally welcome them. He wasn't in the mood to welcome them.
Everyone seemed to be very forgiving and didn't care about this.
"Old Third … Chao 'er's matter is really … really heartbreaking. Don't worry, no matter who the culprit is, this has nothing to do with your family. This is a matter of our entire Yun Family. As long as you say the word, we'll give you people and resources. We must work together to overcome this crisis and find the culprit. "The Second Clan Elder Yun Qian consoled as soon as he entered.
Yun Chen was old and shrewd. He naturally wouldn't be moved by these polite words. He knew that these fellows definitely didn't have good intentions.
To put it bluntly, even if these people didn't participate in Yun Chao's death, at least they wouldn't feel that much grief. They might even be secretly delighted.
After all, Yun Chao's death meant that the younger generation of these fellows would undoubtedly have one less strong competitor.
"You're all very considerate. This old man's mind is in a mess right now. Please forgive me if I haven't been a good host. "Yun Chen's attitude was neutral.
The Clan Elders all took their seats. Even if it was a cat crying over a mouse, they still had to put on a show.
"Old Third, it was Old Sixth's matter before, and now it's Chao 'er's matter. These series of events are clearly aimed at our Yun Family. Right now, this is no longer a matter between your two bloodlines, but a matter that concerns everyone in the Yun Family. "
"We've asked the Great Clan Elder about this. He also said that he had absolutely no knowledge of Chao 'er's matter."
"Hmph! You think he doesn't know? Why did none of you believe me when I said that Old Sixth's matter had nothing to do with me? Now he's in a hurry to clear his name? "Yun Chen's temper flared as he spoke of this matter.
"Ai, this is the enemy's most cunning aspect. They first deal with Old Sixth, then Chao 'er. Their intention to sow discord and disrupt our Yun Family is very obvious. "The Second Clan Elder Yun Qian sighed.
"Hehe, sow discord? This matter hasn't been decided yet, has it? If we're talking about enemies, is it Yin-Yang Academy? Or is it the Jiang Family? "
"Yin-Yang Academy is under the surveillance of the higher-ups. If an expert really did sneak in, there's no way the higher-ups wouldn't notice. If it's a remnant of the Jiang Family, tell me, which one of them would have the ability to do so? "
The Clan Elders all looked at each other.
They had only advised Yun Chen this because they didn't want the Yun Family to have internal strife. In truth, they also found it strange. Just who in the capital had the power to cause such a ruckus in just a few short days?
It could be said that the Yun Family, which had originally been in a good situation, had clearly begun to crack. The situation had become somewhat confusing.
If things continued like this, the Yun Family's control over the capital and its prestige in the Azure Net Nation would only worsen.
"Old Third, no matter how much we talk about principles, you'll find it irritating. Currently, our Yun Family is in constant trouble. Over the past two days, more and more wandering cultivators have come to Whitestag Mountain. No matter how much we refute the rumors, we won't be able to stop more and more wandering cultivators from flocking to Whitestag Mountain. Our Yun Family's various plans are beginning to be seriously threatened. "
