On the way to the funeral, after sending the bride off, Xiaobai, who had disappeared for two days, came back and didn't know what to do.
To be honest, because of the contractual relationship, he could sense its safety at any time, so Gu Qingze was not too worried.
Xiaobai is not only his spirit animal, but also a member of his family. He lets it do whatever it wants and he will not restrict its freedom.
Besides, Xiaobai is as intelligent as a teenager. I believe it can distinguish between pros and cons and dangers and take care of itself.
So... when Xiaobai came back after disappearing for two days and approached him with a guilty look on his face to please him, Gu Qingze just touched its head helplessly with a bit of doting, told it "don't blame it", and then put it into the beast bag.
After the funeral, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao faced the gazes of the people of Cangyun City, flew away on their swords, and finally returned to the familiar Qingyun City.
Before he landed, he saw that the people in the city were all in a hurry and rushed towards one place, as if they were going to join in the fun.
Out of curiosity, the two of them couldn't help but follow.
The crowd finally gathered near the city gate like a tide.
From afar, a bloody human head was hanging above the city gate.
The terrified expression on the man's head seemed to be frozen in the last moment of his life, and the look was terrifying.
Drop by drop, bright red blood slowly and shockingly flowed down the mottled wall, gathering on the ground into a glaring pool of blood.
Looking closely, the head looks very miserable, with old and wrinkled skin. It is obvious that the deceased was an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Gu Qingze stared at the human head, and a sense of familiarity inexplicably surged in his heart, as if he had seen it somewhere deep in his memory.
Chu Lingxiao revealed an indescribable complex expression, looked at Gu Qingze, and said slowly:
"Qingze, that head... belongs to the second elder of the Gu family, Su Han's father. In my opinion, it is very likely... that he was killed by Su Han."
"After all, before saying goodbye to them, Su Han had mentioned that he wanted to take revenge as soon as possible."
"Indeed, Su Han had already expressed his determination before parting with them. However, I didn't expect him to act so...quickly."
There was no other obvious reaction in Gu Qingze's tone except for a hint of admiration for Su Han's efficiency.
There was no other reason. After all, Su Han had already revealed this matter to him in advance. Moreover, the second elder of the Gu family was really unfaithful and indirectly caused the death of Su Han's mother.
Besides...Gu Qingze's thoughts suddenly drifted to Gu Hongjing (the head of the Gu family), and he thought to himself: If it weren't for his secret permission, Su Han would never have been able to kill the second elder of the Gu family so smoothly.
But...Gu Hongjing should have known about the incident when Su Han killed the second elder of the Gu family and hung his body on the city gate.
Since they knew this, why didn't they take the body down and minimize the impact of this incident? Instead, they allowed it to escalate.
Wouldn't this damage the Gu family's reputation? Or to be more precise, what benefits would this bring to the Gu family?
With such doubts, Gu Qingze turned his gaze to Chu Lingxiao and asked, "Lingxiao, can you get any other information from these people?"
Chu Lingxiao shook his head lightly and said helplessly, "They are just people watching the fun. Some of them don't even know what happened. They are even more confused than us."
"But..." He suddenly hesitated, then slowly said, "Yesterday, the head of the Gu family, your father, went out for something. He was away from home all day and hasn't returned yet."
As if to confirm something, Gu Qingze asked, "Did he leave early yesterday morning?"
Chu Lingxiao nodded slightly: "Well, not only that, but he also took away half of the Gu family's staff."
Gu Qingze said confidently: "In this way, we can completely confirm that Gu Hongjing tacitly agreed to the whole thing."
"As the patriarch of the Gu family, if he were in the Gu family and Su Han wanted to kill the second elder of the Gu family, he would have no reason not to stop him, and the other members of the Gu family would also have no reason to stand by and watch. Therefore, choosing to avoid it and pretending to have something to do so and leaving the Gu family is the best option."
"That way I can make an excuse and say I wasn't there, so I couldn't stop it. I might get criticized, but..."
After figuring out the key, the remaining doubts were all resolved.
"No wonder they didn't take the body down and minimize the impact of this incident. It turns out it was all because of this. They wanted to pretend he didn't know anything, so they didn't do anything."
Chu Lingxiao seemed to be sighing, or simply making a conclusion: "Your father really treats Su Han with care."
After a while, Gu Qingze said, "Gu Hongjing must have felt guilty about what happened back then. He apologized silently for the actions of the second elder of the Gu family and did everything within his power."
Chu Lingxiao thought for a moment: "Actually, the one who should really apologize is Su Han's father. The only mistake the Gu family head made back then was not stopping it and not taking any action. Su Han's father is the one who is truly despicable."
"As far as I know... before Su Han killed the second patriarch of the Gu family last night, he lingered in the brothel for a long time. Among the people watching the excitement, there are witnesses who went to the brothel last night."
Gu Qingze commented, "That's truly abominable. He simply refuses to change his ways. After all these years, he hasn't even had a single regret. No wonder Su Han was so decisive and even hung his head on the city gate."
