Royal Xuan Temple, He Xirou.
Zhuge Hui looked at Ye Futian's finger and asked, "Junior, you suspect her?"
Ye Futian told Zhuge Hui about what happened in the Cangye Kingdom. Then he said, "Second Senior Sister, I can't be completely sure. Plus, the Qin Dynasty provided this list. I can only say that it's very likely to be her."
Zhuge Hui nodded. She also understood that if the Qin Dynasty was behind this, they might also be leading things in the wrong direction.
"Since you think she's very suspicious, it's enough. If it's really her, she won't be able to escape." A smile flashed across Zhuge Hui's eyes. She stood up and said, "Let's go."
"Senior Sister, where are you going?" Xue Ye asked.
"Control everyone from the Royal Xuan Temple," Zhuge Hui said emotionlessly. Xue Ye was speechless.
Senior Sister was Senior Sister. She didn't need evidence. Since Ye Futian thought she was the most suspicious, they would control her first and then investigate.
The list would be checked one by one. If none of them were her, then it had to be the Qin Dynasty.
At this time, the disciples of the Royal Xuan Temple were busy with their own things. Some were cultivating in the inn while others walked around to gather information. Like the other top forces, they were curious about who did it.
Would this cause a war between the top forces in the end?
Outside the inn, two disciples of the Royal Xuan Temple were chatting casually.
But just then, a group of strong cultivators came from afar and immediately headed in different directions of the inn. They were about to surround the inn.
"What's going on?" They froze in place.
"People from the College."
Their expressions were ugly. Then they turned back to the inn to report.
Soon, the people from the Royal Xuan Temple were shocked. What had happened?
Many figures flashed and the cultivators from the Royal Xuan Temple walked out of the inn. The person in the lead was an elder from the Royal Xuan Temple. He looked at the people in front and asked, "What does the College mean by this?"
"Is He Xirou here?"
Xue Ye walked up and asked coldly.
The strong cultivators from the Royal Xuan Temple froze. Why did the College come to find He Xirou? Did it need to be said?
Recently, everyone in Chaoge City knew what the College was doing.
At this moment, the people from the Royal Xuan Temple suddenly remembered something that happened in the Cangye Kingdom a year ago. Their expressions changed and they were extremely embarrassed.
Could it be He Xirou?
At this time, He Xirou and Luo Junlin were together. At this time, the inn was in chaos. Figures kept flashing around. He Xirou naturally knew what was going on.
Her face turned deathly pale.
In the end, they still found out?
But how could this be possible? Dead men tell no tales. Even if there were some clues, how could the Academy arrest him?
Suddenly, a strong hand grasped her hand. Luo Junlin said gently, "Xirou, no matter what happens, I will be with you."
He Xirou's eyes reddened instantly. She held Luo Junlin's hand tightly and determination flashed across her eyes. Turning around, she looked at Luo Junlin and said gently, "No, if anything happens, I will take full responsibility. Promise me that you will be fine."
Now that things had come to this, she had already prepared for the worst. She knew that if the Cottage believed that she was the one who did it.
Then, no one could save her life, not even her father, the fifth lord of the Royal Xuan Temple.
"No." A pained expression appeared on Luo Junlin's face.
He Xirou smiled gently at him. Then, she tiptoed and kissed Luo Junlin's lips gently. She said softly, "This has nothing to do with you. I don't want anything to happen to you. Promise me, okay?"
An extremely pained expression appeared in Luo Junlin's eyes as he hugged He Xirou tightly.
Just then, there was the sound of something piercing through the air. He Xirou broke free from Luo Junlin's embrace. Her eyes became determined again as she looked at the flashing figure.
"He Xirou, the elder wants you to go," the person said.
"Okay." He Xirou nodded. Then, she let go of Luo Junlin's hand and said gently, "Stay here."
With that, she flashed and left with the person.
A moment later, He Xirou also arrived outside the inn. She looked at the people from the Academy.
"Did you do this alone or did the Royal Xuan Temple do it?" Xue Ye asked Xirou.
"I don't understand what you're talking about." He Xirou looked at Xue Ye coldly. She wouldn't just sit and wait. The Royal Xuan Temple was also a top force in the Eastern Barren Territory. Hu Tong was already dead. Even if they had clues, it didn't matter. Without evidence, how could the Academy be so sure that it was her?
"You won't admit it?" Xue Ye asked coldly.
"Does the Academy think that I did it?" He Xirou looked at Xue Ye and sneered. "Why?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. The Academy will go to the Royal Xuan City and investigate all the places you've been to this year and everyone you've met. Do you think you can escape?" Xue Ye continued.
"I didn't do it. You can investigate however you want." He Xirou's voice was forceful but it seemed like she was trying to hide her guilt. Right now, her heart was cold.
She knew that she might be completely finished.
But she was still unwilling. She had a sliver of hope and didn't want to give up.
"If that's the case, I hope that the Royal Xuan Temple can cooperate and not leave," Xue Ye said.
The elder of the Royal Xuan Temple's eyes flashed and he said coldly, "The matter hasn't been investigated yet and the Academy came to seal the residence of the Royal Xuan Temple. Now, they even want to ground us. Don't you think you've gone too far?"
"If they find out, do you think it'll be as simple as grounding us?" Xue Ye said coldly. "This better not be the will of the Royal Xuan Temple. Otherwise, it won't just be your problem."
The faces of everyone from the Royal Xuan Temple darkened. He was extremely arrogant.
The elder of the Royal Xuan Temple flicked his sleeves and walked into the inn. However, he was also extremely angry at the moment, not only at the Academy but also at He Xirou.
Since the Academy had found out that it was He Xirou, it was very likely to be true. If the final result was that He Xirou was the culprit, then this idiotic woman deserved to die.
…
After the news spread, Chaoge City was shocked.
It was actually done by the Royal Xuan Temple?
It was said that the man that He Xirou liked, Luo Junlin, was a genius of the Royal Xuan Temple. He was a disciple of the fifth lord of the Royal Xuan Temple and came from the Hundred Lands of the Barbarian Region like Ye Futian. The two of them hated each other.
So, did He Xirou do this because she was afraid that Ye Futian's growth would threaten Luo Junlin's life?
If that was really the case, then she was a pitiful woman. Assassinating a Cottage disciple for a man?
It was said that when the people from the College went to surround the Royal Xuan Temple's inn, Luo Junlin didn't even offer his body. Women were easily influenced by emotions and were blinded by love. However, Luo Junlin might not be like her.
Soon, the news spread that the College had sent strong cultivators to the Royal Xuan Temple's southern Xuan City. They even brought the assassin's corpse.
If this was really done by He Xirou, then it was probably impossible for her to escape.
It seemed that the domineering words of the second disciple of the Cottage outside the Dongqin College were indeed effective. Clearly, the Qin Dynasty had helped. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so efficient. After all, this was Chaoge City.
All the pressure fell on the strong cultivators of the Royal Xuan Temple. Everyone else was just watching the show.
These days, the strong cultivators of the Royal Xuan Temple were grounded and couldn't step out of the inn. The people of Chaoge City once again saw the power of the College and the Cottage.
Clearly, if this was the will of the Royal Xuan Temple, then none of the strong cultivators in Chaoge City would be able to escape.
After a few days, a group of strong cultivators flew over from the inn where the Royal Xuan Temple was.
When they landed, they glanced coldly at the crowd surrounding the inn. The leader's eyes were filled with coldness. He said coldly, "The College is very good to surround the Royal Xuan Temple even before the truth is clear."
With that, he stepped into the inn.
Many figures flashed and bowed. "Greetings, fifth lord."
The fifth lord of the Royal Xuan Temple, He Yulu, had arrived.
A beautiful figure flashed over. It was his daughter, He Xirou.
"Come with me." He Yulu walked down and left with He Xirou. They came to the courtyard where He Xirou lived. With his back facing her, he asked coldly, "Why did you do this?"
"Father." He Xirou looked up at her father.
"A few months ago, something happened in the Royal Xuan City. An Arcana Plane cultivator offended a clan and his family's lives were threatened. It was you who settled the matter, right?" He Yulu turned around and looked at He Xirou.
He Xirou's face was pale.
"Since I can find out, do you think the College can't?" He Yulu's cold eyes contained some pain. She was his daughter, his biological daughter, but now, she made a huge mistake.
"Father." He Xirou's eyes were red. She knew that she couldn't hide it anymore.
He Yulu looked at his daughter and his heart softened. He sighed. "I've already settled Hu Tong's family, but it's difficult to hide it from the College completely. Xirou, why did you do this? Did he instigate you?"
He Xirou's body trembled. She obviously knew who her father was referring to.
"Father, I decided this myself. He didn't know before," He Xirou said with red eyes. "Now that it's like this, I will take responsibility. Father, I'm unfilial. If anything happens and I can't serve you, please forgive me."
Seeing He Xirou's tears, He Yulu's heart ached.
There was some hatred in his heart. College, Cottage.
If he was strong enough, the College and the Cottage wouldn't dare to bully him like this.
If he was strong enough, the Cottage wouldn't dare to do anything to his daughter if Ye Futian was still alive.
But because he wasn't strong enough, he knew that once the truth was revealed, the Cottage definitely wouldn't let his daughter go.
"Father, I don't have any wishes. I just hope that if anything happens to me, you can protect him," He Xirou begged her father. She knew that after the truth was revealed, Ye Futian wouldn't let Luo Junlin go, even if she was the one who did it.
"You're still thinking about him," He Yulu said angrily. "If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't have ended up like this. I only regret taking him as my disciple."
"Father, I'm begging you. This is my last wish." He Xirou's face was covered in tears. He Yulu's heart twitched and he clenched his fists.
