The person who came in was Li Na. Yang Xuan looked at her expression and saw that she was hesitating.
"What's wrong?" Yang Xuan asked curiously.
"General Yang, there is something that I don't know if I should tell you," Li Na said hesitantly.
Yang Xuan smiled: "Since you are already in front of me, it means that you have decided to tell me. Speak, what is it?"
"It's about Madam Yang Shuqin," Li Na looked at Yang Xuan's expression.
The smile on Yang Xuan's face disappeared. Something happened to Teacher Yang?
"What happened?" He asked in a deep voice.
Li Na let out a sigh of relief. From Yang Xuan's expression, she knew that telling Yang Xuan about this matter was the right decision.
"The cause of the matter is Teacher Yang's husband. Many years ago, Teacher Yang's husband mysteriously disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown. Although the police were called, there has been no news after so many years," Li Na said.
Yang Xuan frowned. After meeting Yang Shuqin, he learned about this matter from other sources.
"Has Teacher Yang's husband been found?" Yang Xuan asked.
Li Na nodded, but then shook her head.
"We found him. No, we found a corpse," Li Na sighed.
Yang Xuan took a deep breath and sat on the sofa: "Tell me, what happened?"
"Madam Yang's husband is called He Hua. He was a teacher at Dongxin First Primary School. Six years ago, he mysteriously disappeared after work. After the police were called, there was no news. Back then, Madam Yang almost broke down."
Yang Xuan remembered. He seemed to have heard of such a matter back then. However, he was busy with work and did not pay much attention to it. He did not expect it to be Teacher Yang's husband.
Li Na continued: "Two days ago, a completely rotten corpse was dug up at a road maintenance site not far from First Primary School …"
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Li Na observed his expression and slowly said: "After comparison, this corpse is Madam Yang's husband, He Hua."
"Haha!" Yang Xuan suddenly laughed.
For some reason, Li Na suddenly felt the temperature in the room drop. She couldn't help but shiver.
"In other words, Teacher He was murdered?" Yang Xuan asked with a smile on his face.
Li Na nodded and said, "Teacher He's hands and feet were tied up. According to the investigation of the scene … he was buried alive."
"Ah, the darkest part of the world is the human heart. The ancients didn't lie to me." Yang Xuan's eyes flashed with a cold light as he spoke.
Li Na was silent. When she received the news, she hesitated on how to tell Yang Xuan.
If Yang Xuan was just an ordinary person, then there would be no problem.
But was Yang Xuan an ordinary person? The answer was no.
Li Na shuddered as she recalled the terrorists from that day.
"Tell me the results of the investigation." Yang Xuan asked again. If there were no results, Li Na wouldn't tell him about it.
"Six years ago, the paving project of that road was contracted by a local contractor …"
"No need to say anymore." Yang Xuan interrupted her and coldly asked: "Where is he?"
Li Na knew who he was asking about and replied: "He has been arrested, but …"
"But what?" Yang Xuan's eyes flashed with killing intent.
"Because it has been a long time, it is difficult to obtain evidence. The contractor refused to admit it and only said that he didn't know." Li Na sighed. The world was so helpless.
"Ah, evidence?" Yang Xuan stared at Li Na and lightly said: "What evidence do you need?"
Li Na was silent.
"I don't need evidence." Yang Xuan lightly said and said: "Go call Chen Jianguo in."
Li Na sighed. She knew that this matter could no longer be settled peacefully. However, as Yang Xuan's bodyguard, and someone who had been promoted from an important position, she naturally knew what to do.
Compared to Yang Xuan, a small contractor was nothing. Not to mention him, even she couldn't compare to a single hair of Yang Xuan.
Not long after she went out, Chen Jianguo came in.
"General Yang, you are looking for me?" Chen Jianguo came in and stood straight.
Yang Xuan once said that they shouldn't salute so easily.
"You know about Teacher He Hua's matter, right?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Yes, I know!" Chen Jianguo said loudly.
"I want you to investigate this matter. I want to know all the people related to this matter." Yang Xuan stared at him and said.
"Yes! I promise to complete the task. "Chen Jianguo didn't hesitate.
Yang Xuan's words were orders. He would carry them out meticulously.
"Wait!" As Chen Jianguo turned to leave, Yang Xuan called out to him.
Chen Jianguo turned around and looked at Yang Xuan in confusion.
Yang Xuan didn't look at him. His gaze landed on the two blooming kaffir lilies on the table. After a while, he said indifferently: "Remember, I don't need evidence."
Chen Jianguo's body trembled slightly, then he saluted: "Yes, your subordinate understands."
…
"The Immortal Sect?"
In the Penglai Longevity Sect, an old man in white stroked his beard, a trace of confusion on his face.
"Sect Master, the Sect Master of the Celestial Sect is called Bai Qi. His nickname is the Demon God. Ever since he appeared on Peng Lai, in just a few short months, he has already taken in more than ten sects of various sizes. In addition, six sects have been destroyed, including two of the three Daos, the Undying Dao and the Floating and Sinking Dao." Below the white-robed elder, there were three or four old men sitting upright.
The old man in white was the Longevity Sect's Sect Master, Ji Changsheng. At this moment, he was holding a piece of paper full of words in his hand, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Sect Master, now that Bai Qi is ambitious and wants to unify Penglai, our Longevity Sect is very likely to be his next target. How should we deal with it? Sect Master, you have to make arrangements as soon as possible." An elder frowned.
"Everyone, I have a question." Ji Changsheng didn't answer the elder's question. Instead, he said.
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
"According to the news, this Bai Qi isn't from Penglai, but from the outside world." Ji Changsheng said: "But the spiritual energy in the outside world is thin. How did it give birth to a cultivator like Bai Qi?"
An elder's body trembled: "Sect Master, you mean …"
Ji Changsheng nodded and said: "I suspect that this Bai Qi isn't from the outside world, but …"
As he spoke, he looked up at the sky.
Everyone's eyes lit up. Some of the elders even started to breathe faster.
"Sect Master, you're saying that this Bai Qi is from … the Celestial World?"
There was a legend in Penglai since ancient times. It was said that there was another world outside Penglai. It was like spring all year round and the spiritual energy there was rich. It had achieved a qualitative change and became Celestial Qi. Mortals could extend their lifespans by breathing in Celestial Qi. If cultivators cultivated with Celestial Qi, they would be able to achieve twice the effort with half the effort. They would ascend to the heavens and become immortals, living a happy and free life.
However, ever since Penglai descended, no one had ever heard of anyone ascending to the Celestial World. The longest one had only lived for a thousand years before dying.
The so-called longevity was only longevity in the eyes of mortals. To these cultivators, decades and hundreds of years were just a period of time for them to cultivate in seclusion. How could they live forever?
At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with yearning.
