No matter what, Ah Long was his prized student, and he would never watch Ah Long die in vain.

"What kind of explanation do you need?" Qiao Suinian asked calmly.

"Why did you kill Ah Long? You're all young people, and I can understand that young people are hot-blooded. I wouldn't say anything even if you beat him up, but killing him is going too far!" Ma Baotian's tone had turned cold.

“I didn’t kill him, the murderer is someone else.” Qiao Suinian shook his head.

"You're lying!" Ah Long's junior sister, Shen Rou, was filled with anger and sorrow. "Brother Long just had a conflict with you, and then he died. What a coincidence!"

"Exactly! What murderer would admit to being the murderer?" Liu Guang couldn't help but shout.

“I have no reason to deny it, because... if I really wanted to kill you, I guarantee you wouldn’t even have time to react.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Suinian's face instantly transformed into a haughty skull, and Liu Guang was immediately gripped by fear upon seeing this skull face.

When he recovered from his fear, the little skeleton already had a longsword to his throat, and Liu Guang almost peed his pants in terror.

"Let me ask you this: which mage would leave themselves at the scene of a murder and become a suspect?" Qiao Suinian calmly retorted.

Ma Baotian couldn't help but frown and fall into deep thought, because what Qiao Suinian said did make sense.

But besides Qiao Suinian, who else present would want to kill A Long? Ma Baotian couldn't help but find himself in a dilemma.

Ma Baotian's sharp gaze swept across everyone's faces. Ah Long died silently, without even a scream, so the murderer must have been stronger than Ah Long.

But how could his remaining four disciples possess such strength?

As for Miss Yang, that's even more impossible. Ma Baotian knows that Yang Beini is a life-skilled worker. If she had combat abilities, there would be no need to hire the entire Hunyuan Sect to protect her.

After much thought, Ma Baotian still felt that Qiao Suinian and his group were the most suspicious.

Qiao Suinian was also a little curious at this moment. The dark figure had clearly darted outside, so it shouldn't have been able to come back in time.

But everyone is here now, could there be someone he doesn't know hiding in the shadows?

But the other party knew about the conflict between him and Ah Long, so they should have been in the house just now.

Qiao Suinian turned his attention to Yang Beini.

When Yang Beini saw Qiao Suinian staring at her, she rolled her eyes, her expression becoming increasingly disgusted.

This woman, who seemed like a rich young lady, became Qiao Suinian's most suspicious person. But how could an ordinary woman with a life-related profession kill Ah Long?

Even if you were to launch a sneak attack when Ah Long was completely off guard, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to kill Ah Long instantly with a single blow, right?

Could it be that this woman also has two jobs?

Qiao Suinian's eyes narrowed. If Yang Beini was a dual-class changer like him, then everything would make perfect sense.

However, he didn't say anything more. Whether it was Yang Beini who killed him or Ah Long's junior brother and sister-in-law who killed him, he didn't want to get involved in this mess. Since his suspicion had been cleared and he had no sleep anyway, he might as well head to Gaogang Mountain overnight.

"Master Ma, if there's nothing else, we'll be taking our leave now. We wish you a speedy recovery in catching the murderer."

Qiao Suinian waved his hand, and the three-headed hell beetle crawled over.

"Heh, so you're trying to flee from justice?" Yang Beini sneered before Ma Baotian could even speak.

After hesitating for a moment, Ma Baotian couldn't help but speak up.

"Young friend Qiao Suinian, our destination is somewhat on the same route as yours to Gaogang Mountain. Why don't we continue traveling together for a while, and then part ways after the truth of the matter has been investigated? What do you say?"

Qiao Suinian shook her head upon hearing this.

"Originally, I didn't want to get involved in this matter, but since you want me to, I'll just have to comply."

Qiao Suinian waved his hand, and the little skeleton walked towards Yang Beini. Whether Yang Beini is a dual-class player or not, we'll find out by trying.

Although dual-class players are extremely rare, they are not entirely nonexistent.

In his previous life, he knew at least two people.

"Qiao Suinian, what are you doing? I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless!"

As the pale little skeleton walked towards her, a look of panic flashed across Yang Beini's delicate oval face.

The stark white skeleton and the eerie blue flames of the soul looked truly terrifying.

Qiao Suinian ignored her and instead had the little skeleton slash down with its sword.

"Ah!" Yang Beini exclaimed in surprise, immediately closing her eyes and turning pale with fright.

However, Qiao Suinian still showed no sign of stopping. Just as Yang Beini was about to perish under the Little Skull Sword, at the critical moment, Ma Baotian caught the sword that the Little Skull Sword was about to strike with his bare hands.

Yang Beini, still shaken from her brush with death, looked at Qiao Suinian with a crazed expression.

"He's going to kill me! He's going to kill me, Ma Baotian! I order you to kill him right now! I can give you double the reward, hurry up! Kill him now!" Yang Beini screamed in terror, like a madwoman, all traces of the elegance she had shown when they first met.

"Young friend Qiao Suinian, you've gone too far!"

Ma Baotian's face darkened. Yang Beini's background was very powerful. If Qiao Suinian really killed Yang Beini, things would be in serious trouble.

Ma Baotian kicked the little skeleton several steps back.
