The blue-clothed visitor added, "But I think that this alone is not enough to make you believe that Chen Changsheng is the murderer."
Bie Yanghong replied, "Correct, the Qi of a Black Frost Dragon cannot be faked, so even just now, I still believed that this matter was done by His Holiness the Pope."
The blue-clothed visitor asked, "Then how can you be sure that I killed your son, or that you suspect me?"
The plateau was in an uproar at these words.
Some people had already guessed that this was a plot against the Pope, but to hear the blue-clothed visitor personally admit it still left them shocked.
"I became suspicious because on the way up the mountain, someone showed me a few things."
Bie Yanghong waved his hand, causing several sheets of paper to float out of his sleeve. They quietly floated in the air, rustling in the wind.
These sheets of paper were white, and on them were drawings drawn by someone using charcoal.
The lines in these drawings were not complicated, but the details were extremely rich.
In the first drawing, there was a small alley, an ancient scholar tree, and a young man.
The young man's face was vividly drawn, his two eyebrows seemingly about to fly into the air, just like a real person.
A hint of pain appeared on Bie Yanghong's face as he gazed at the young man in the drawing.
The small alley and the ancient scholar tree were in a corner of Hanqiu City, and the young man was his son, Bie Tianxin.
In the second drawing, there was a carriage. When the painter put down his brush, a gust of wind should have just happened to raise a corner of the curtain.
What should have been a fleeting glimpse had been transformed by the painter's charcoal brush into a still and unchanging record.
In the carriage window was a beautiful and proud young lady, as well as a blue-clothed visitor wearing a copper mask.
It was the blue-clothed visitor on the plateau today.
The contents of the other drawings were all different. For example, the waterfall outside Hanqiu City, or the young man and woman walking side by side.
Each drawing was an incomparably accurate record. One could clearly tell what Bie Tianxin had done in those few days and who he had met.
After Bie Tianxin's death, these records had become clues.
The blue-clothed visitor gazed at these drawings in silence for a very long time. Suddenly, he asked, "You believe these drawings?"
Bie Yanghong replied, "I believed the person who painted the painting, but I was still skeptical. Your appearance in the end was the true proof."
"Now that I think about it, my actions today were indeed unwise, but if you weren't suspicious, you wouldn't have made such a quick decision. I still had the chance to kill Chen Chang Sheng and leave. Thinking about it this way, I still lost to this painter."
The blue-clothed visitor looked at the paintings and said with a frown, "I said that I had everything in my grasp and that no one could break this trap. How could I have imagined that all of my movements were seen by this person? I don't know who was able to spy on me for so long without me noticing."
Bie Yanghong replied, "Qiushan Jun."
The visitor in green was slightly startled, not having expected this.
Hearing this name, the crowd on the plateau became restless.
Of course, Qiushan Jun was a celebrity, but he had been missing for five years. Many people had almost forgotten about his existence.
No one would have thought that when he reappeared, he would have already done such a great thing.
Bai Cai was even more shocked at these words. He looked at Gou Hanshi and said, "Eldest Brother? What's going on? "
Gou Han Shi shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
…
… …
By the stream at the base of Holy Maiden Peak, the fragrance of roasted fish drifted further and further away. The rustling of the forest got closer and closer, and some of the more daring beasts even poking their heads out.
Qiushan Jun tore off a piece of fish and threw it over, then turned around and said, "Father, it's useless even if you keep me here."
The Qiushan clan head took the roasted fish in his hand and took two bites. He proudly said, "Don't think about deceiving me."
Qiushan Jun helplessly said, "It's true, you came late. I just met with Sir Bie."
The Qiushan clan head opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Someone else might think that Bie Yanghong wouldn't believe a few words, but he was Qiushan Jun's father. He knew that his son had an excellent reputation, and crucially, his son had always been meticulous. Besides words, he assuredly had other tricks up his sleeves.
The Qiushan clan head uneasily asked, "How confident are you?"
Qiushan Jun replied, "After all, there's no direct evidence, and this matter involves the murder of his son. I think that Bie Yanghong will at most believe thirty percent of me."
The Qiushan clan head somewhat relaxed. "That's fine. I hope that nothing unforeseen will happen."
Qiushan Jun said, "If the blue-clothed visitor can't help but act today, thirty percent will become ninety percent."
The Qiushan clan head's expression turned cold. "If I were him, I wouldn't even go to Holy Maiden Peak today, much less act."
Qiushan Jun replied, "The blue-clothed visitor has an unfathomable cultivation and acts callously and emotionlessly, but in terms of strategy and patience, he is far inferior to Father. Moreover, this is still Holy Maiden Peak, so Chen Changsheng assuredly still has tricks up his sleeve. Moreover, Wang Po might also come, so he might really act."
Although his words were filled with praise for himself, the Qiushan clan head's heart still sank.
Based on what Qiushan Jun said, if the blue-clothed visitor acted, Bie Yanghong would assuredly become suspicious. At that time, Chen Changsheng really might be able to survive.
The Qiushan clan head gave him a resentful glance. "If things have gotten to this point, then we can only think of some other methods."
Confused, Qiushan Jun asked, "What else does Sir want to do?"
The Qiushan clan head rallied his spirits and said, "If it really is as you say, once this matter is over, I naturally have to make a good proclamation of your achievements."
Qiushan Jun helplessly said, "Today, I accompanied Sir by the stream and roasted a few fish to eat. What achievement is there?"
The Qiushan clan head sternly said, "Have you ever thought that if the Great Western Continent's scheme succeeds, His Holiness the Pope will die a wrongful death? More importantly, Bie Yanghong and his wife killing the Pope will assuredly cause the world to fall into chaos. The demons will assuredly invade, and the Human race will assuredly be thrown into a storm. And now, all of this will not happen because of you."
Qiushan Jun said, "This logic sounds rather strange."
The Qiushan clan head became more and more agitated as he spoke, loudly saying, "How is it strange? Son, calling you the savior of our Human race is not an exaggeration! "
Qiushan Jun helplessly said, "Father, this is a little too exaggerated."
The Qiushan clan head said, "What do you know? Could it be that you can be sure that my previous conjecture will not become reality? "
Qiushan Jun suddenly fell silent.
The fish in the stream noiselessly dodged into the distance.
The wild beasts in the forest also disappeared.
After some time had passed, Qiushan Jun finally spoke.
He looked into the Qiushan clan head's eyes and solemnly asked, "Father, since you also knew that those conjectures might be true, why did you do this?"
This scheme was a scheme against the Orthodoxy and Chen Changsheng.
The people executing this scheme were the blue-clothed visitor and Mu Jiushi from the Great Western Continent.
But everyone knew that the Imperial Court had assuredly known of this matter, though they did not know how deeply it had been involved.
Qiushan Jun was even more certain that his father was an insider.
Hearing this question, the Qiushan clan head also fell silent for a very long time.
In the end, he still did not answer Qiushan Jun's question.
He stood up, rubbed Qiushan Jun's head, and then left the stream.
