Xiao Yuhan's face was gloomy. "Junior sister, I'm not in a hurry. I just want to have a good talk with Nanmen Ruoxuan. I don't believe that this matter has nothing to do with her. You should look for Lu Yuan and Murong Zhi. They acted together before. I guess you can find out what happened if you find them."
Nangong Ling'er grabbed Xiao Yuhan's sleeve. "Senior brother! Calm down. You're questioning Nanmen Ruoxuan without any evidence. What can you do if she doesn't admit it?"
At this moment, Xiao Yuhan, who was worried about Bai Yao, said angrily, "I naturally have a way to make her talk!"
Seeing Xiao Yuhan's expression, Nangong Ling'er immediately stepped in front of him and continued, "Senior brother, let me handle this, okay? Don't be impulsive. This letter might not necessarily be related to Qiu Xinghen..."
Xiao Yuhan sighed, "Junior Sister, do you have any ideas?"
Nangong Ling'er stared at Xiao Yuhan with a serious expression, "From now on, Senior Brother, you will stay by my side and are not allowed to leave! This is not a request!"
"I understand! Let's go!"
The two hurriedly went out and happened to meet Ai Yue, who had returned a little later. Xiao Yuhan immediately said, "Ai Yue, Yao'er is missing! Lu Yuan and Murong Zhi are also missing. Go and ask Sect Master Nanmen to help us find them. Your junior uncle and I will set off!"
Ai Yue's expression changed. She was about to ask for details when Xiao Yuhan urged Nangong Ling'er to leave. So she didn't ask any more questions and turned to head towards the main hall of the Snow Cold Blade Sect.
Led by her junior sister, Xiao Yuhan went directly to Nanmen Ruoxuan's courtyard. The woman was sitting alone in the courtyard, with a pot of tea brewing on the stone table in front of her. Her junior sister went up and exchanged a few polite words, then told her what had happened, wanting to test her reaction.
Nanmen Ruoxuan was somewhat surprised, "Ah? What happened? I'll immediately send people to look for it!"
Xiao Yuhan narrowed his eyes, about to say something, when Nangong Ling'er spoke up directly: "Your sect's protective formation can defend against enemies, right? In that chaotic situation just now, outsiders would have almost no chance of entering or leaving safely under the defense of your sect's protective formation, right? So, Miss Nanmen, don't you want to explain anything?"
Nanmen Ruoxuan maintained a very proper demeanor. "Gentlemen, your disciples have encountered trouble at our Snow Cold Blade Sect. We are responsible for this, so please rest assured and leave it to us. I will definitely give you both an answer!"
These words seemed insignificant at first glance, but Xiao Yuhan was suspicious of the woman in front of him. The more composed she appeared, the more suspicious he became.
"I'll only ask you one question: what's the deal with Xue Changfeng, and what's the deal with the corpses in the courtyard that were suppressed using ghostly methods?"
A fleeting, almost imperceptible look of disorientation crossed Nanmen Ruoxuan's face, but she quickly regained her composure. "Xue Changfeng was my deceased senior brother. As for the female corpse you mentioned, what's the story?"
Seeing that she wouldn't admit it, Xiao Yuhan knew that there was no point in asking any further questions, but through Nanmen Ruoxuan's series of reactions, he became more and more convinced that there was something wrong with this woman.
Because after her junior sister told her about Yao'er's disappearance, the surprise she showed was too fake, not like a genuine surprise. Moreover, when she asked about the withered corpse in the ancient well, the woman clearly hesitated, and she wasn't surprised at all. Combined with the fact that Xiao Yuhan saw her setting up the defenses of the villa and specifically instructed the guards not to allow anyone to enter the villa, it was all too suspicious.
Xiao Yuhan guessed that the purpose of the ghosts' attack on the Snow Cold Blade Sect was to create chaos and capture Bai Yao. However, judging from the clues from the previous investigation, it would have been impossible for the person who captured Bai Yao to do so so easily without an inside agent within the Snow Cold Blade Sect.
Moreover, he was almost certain that Nanmen Ruoxuan was involved in this matter, but he had no evidence at the moment. He didn't want to put his junior sister in a difficult position, nor did he want to put his senior brother, the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, in a difficult position. So he turned to leave. Just as he was about to leave, he casually waved his hand, and a sword aura split the stone table in front of Nanmen Ruoxuan in two.
The teapot fell to the ground, spilling hot tea all over the floor.
Xiao Yuhan said coldly, "Miss Nanmen, if anything happens to my disciple, I will tear those who harmed her to pieces and grind their bones to dust!"
Nanmen Ruoxuan's expression was indifferent; she simply stared coldly at Xiao Yuhan without uttering a word, lost in thought.
