Chen Xuan is framed by his elder brother and expelled from the family. According to clan rules, he must choose one wife and three concubines and head to the borderlands to expand the family line.
"Tell me, who is so bold as to assassinate the young master?"
Suddenly, someone spoke up.
Just now, there was a powerful martial arts master from the Li family staring at them, so they didn't even dare to breathe.
But it’s different now. Without the powerful martial arts masters, everyone is a servant, and everyone has equal status and identity. No one needs to be afraid of anyone, so everyone feels relaxed.
As for chasing the criminal, if you can catch him, then chase him. If you can’t, then forget it.
He must be quite capable to have the guts to sneak into the guild house and kill the young master.
It is actually a good thing if you cannot catch him. If you do catch him, you may lose your life.
"Who knows who did it? They are so bold."
"The young master is the only blood of the master, and he is also the master's son who was born in his old age. He dotes on him very much. Now that he is dead, the master will definitely be furious!"
"But then again, the young master has offended a lot of people on a daily basis. He relied on his father being a martial saint and recognized our Chicheng City Lord as his godfather. Since he took charge of the Chicheng Guild, the commission he collected is much higher than that of guilds in other cities. Many guild members are very dissatisfied with him."
"Moreover, the young master would secretly take action against some members."
"Do you think it was a member of the guild who did this?"
"Who knows? We are not special detectives who investigate cases. We are sent out to find the murderer. If we find him, we will report back. If we can't find him, there is nothing we can do."
They started chatting directly.
Chen Xuan didn't say a word throughout the whole process.
It's not that he feels guilty. After all, the strongest of these five servants is only at the fifth level of Martial Emperor, and the weakest is even only at the first level of Martial Emperor. He doesn't take them seriously at all.
"Hey, man, why aren't you talking?"
"Also, why have I never seen you before?"
Seeing that Chen Xuan didn't say anything, the others naturally noticed him, and they all looked over at him.
Chen Xuan said expressionlessly: "What is there to say? Catching the murderer is the most important thing now!"
"Catch the murderer?"
When several people heard this, they immediately started laughing.
"Brother, are you out of your mind? Do you know how powerful the murderer is? The young master is a seventh-level martial emperor. The murderer was able to sneak into the guild house, kill him without anyone noticing, and escape unscathed. What does this mean? It means that the murderer must be much stronger than the young master, at least an eighth-level martial emperor!"
"How can we be a match for him? When we see the murderer, the best thing to do is to run away!"
Although servants are servants, they just have a lower status, which does not mean that they have mental problems.
Look, the people here are very sober, and coming out to hunt down the murderer is just an act of helplessness.
"Speaking of which, buddy, I just asked you a question. Are you new here? How come I have never seen you before?"
One of them looked at Chen Xuan with a strange expression. He was a veteran of the guild, and basically all the servants in the guild knew him.
But today, no matter how I looked at Chen Xuan, he seemed unfamiliar.
"It's very simple, because I changed my appearance."
Chen Xuan smiled.
Hearing this, the five people were stunned.
"Why are you disguising yourself for no reason?"
Chen Xuan grinned and said, "Do you even need to guess? Because I am the murderer!"
Everyone: “…”
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
The five servants looked at each other in surprise.
"My friend, don't joke like that. It's not funny at all."
They were just discussing what to do if they saw the murderer.
And now, my goodness, the murderer is right next to me?
"Do you think I would be so boring as to make such a joke?"
Chen Xuan said with a smile.
The five people's faces changed instantly.
They exchanged glances with each other, then all let out strange cries and fled in all directions.
He has already revealed his identity and admitted that he is the murderer.
If you don't run away now, are you waiting for others to kill you?
"Oh, I'm sorry. If I let you run away, I won't be able to survive. In order for me to survive, I have to sacrifice you."
Chen Xuan sighed and lamented.
Then, he took direct action.
How could these five people escape?
In just a few breaths, both the man and the horse were killed by Chen Xuan.
Finally, Chen Xuan took off their storage bags, changed his clothes, and tore off the human skin masks. Finally, he dealt with the corpses and went to find the empress and others under the moonlight.
The sky was getting light.
The sky was turning pale.
On the ground, the bonfire was still flickering.
The Empress, Xue Jian and Emperor Tang could not sleep all night.
Lin Hai sat beside the campfire, sighing constantly.
In his opinion, Chen Xuan returned to Chicheng to seek revenge on the young master.
This is simply very irrational behavior.
Now it’s almost dawn and he hasn’t come back yet. Something must have happened.
He thought so in his heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud.
Suddenly, the leaves around rustled.
And there were footsteps.
"who?"
The empress and others immediately looked in the direction of the footsteps with vigilance.
"It's me."
Chen Xuan's voice came.
Soon, his figure emerged from the darkness.
"Chen Xuan, you're back!"
Xue Jian spoke in surprise.
Although she always believed on the surface that Chen Xuan would be fine, in fact, she was worried all night.
The same is true for the empress and the Tang emperor.
They all felt that Chen Xuan's behavior was too risky, but they had no way to stop him and could only support him silently.
Fortunately, Chen Xuan returned safely, which made them feel relieved.
"Of course, who am I? I am Master Chen Xuan, who can do anything!"
Chen Xuan made a joke with a narcissistic smile.
"Don't be so conceited. You will shine brightly when you are given some sunshine."
Xue Jian rolled his eyes.
"How are the people?"
The empress suddenly asked.
Chen Xuan knew that she was referring to the man with gold-rimmed glasses.
“The person is here.”
Chen Xuan thought about it and threw out the body of the man with gold-rimmed glasses.
When everyone saw the iconic glasses frame on his nose, their eyes widened.
Chen Xuan actually killed him!
Moreover, the bodies were brought out!
"Check how many treasures this thing has and how much it is worth."
Chen Xuan poured out all the treasures he had looted from the study, and also threw out the storage bags of the five servants he had killed later. No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat, and he did not let go of any of the things of these five servants.
Finally, let Lin Hai check.
Lin Hai's whole body and hands were shaking.
He never dreamed that Chen Xuan would succeed.
This guy is the son of the Martial Saint!
He tremblingly opened the storage bag of the man with gold-rimmed glasses, and after checking it, he was completely stunned!
