Chapter 131: Death of Ying Zhen
Realizing what she had said in her excitement, Xu quickly shut her mouth.
But it was too late.
Xu was silent, and silent again.
Xu Qiuqian and Ying Liangzhi smiled, and smiled again.
"Uh, did I say something I shouldn't have?"
"What do you think?"
Originally I was just planning to talk about it and see if I could trick them out of something, but who knew they would trick them out so easily.
Xu lived alone in this remote little courtyard and rarely went out, but she knew about the recent events concerning the Ying family.
"How did you know this?" Ying Liangzhi calmed down and asked in a cold voice.
"I, I don't know, I really don't know!"
Even though Xu had already let the cat out of the bag, she still clenched her teeth and refused to reveal a word.
"You don't know? What a joke! If you don't know, how do you know that the monster is at level three?"
Xu was silent.
Seeing this, Ying Liangzhi frowned deeply.
What should I do? Xu seemed to be refusing to cooperate.
At this time, Xu Qiuqian said, "Clan leader Ying, what are you doing? Auntie said she doesn't know why you are making things difficult for her?"
Ying Liangzhi was stunned and looked at Xu Qiuqian, only to see the latter walk towards Xu and pat her shoulder.
"Aunt, I hope Patriarch Ying didn't scare you. I'm sorry, I really didn't know he would be so mean to you. If I had known, I wouldn't have brought him here."
Xu: “…”
Listen to what you said, are you sure you are just a foreign disciple? However, no matter how much she complained in her heart, she did not show it at all, and only looked at Xu Qiuqian cautiously.
Xu Qiuqian smiled slightly.
"Since Auntie doesn't want to talk about it, forget it."
"Really?" Xu obviously didn't believe it.
These two people came together, it's obvious that they are in the same group.
"Of course, but can you tell me, aunt, what is in those two rooms that block the divine consciousness?"
A look of panic appeared on Xu's face.
"W-Nothing."
"If there is none, why do you need to use spiritual consciousness to block it?"
"I don't know either. Well, if you don't want tea, just leave."
"No hurry, since Auntie doesn't know, how about I go and help her check it out?"
Xu Qiuqian said this and walked towards one of the rooms.
"I haven't agreed, you can't go!" Xu said quickly.
Xu Qiuqian didn't listen and continued walking forward.
"If you dare to open the door, I will tell the Fourth Master!" Xu shouted harshly.
It turns out that Xu is connected to Ying Tiancheng.
It should be said that they were still in contact until recently.
That's strange.
Even if Ying Tiancheng relied on Ying Zhen, he would not have secretly contacted the Xu family after Ying Zhen left.
The guess in my heart surfaced again.
This time, it is not groundless.
Seeing that Xu Qiuqian did not stop even after hearing Ying Tiancheng's name, Xu's eyes became fierce and she wanted to take action.
Ying Liangzhi was well prepared. He restrained Xu and hit her with a soundproofing paper. Xu could not make any sound at once. Not only could she not make any sound, she could not even make the sound of struggling.
Xu Qiuqian walked to the door on the left and opened it.
Well, it's very empty.
Then he walked to the door on the right, opened it and found... it was still empty!
She frowned and then turned to look at Xu.
Xu was still struggling, but her expression did not show much panic.
Looking at the empty room, she couldn't help but think of the time when she found the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast on Hong'an Street.
"Bring her here."
Ying Liangzhi responded and brought Xu closer.
Xu Qiuqian told Ying Liangzhi about the discovery of the Star Eclipse Beast, while observing Xu's expression.
"So you think there's a good chance that one of these two rooms has an underground room just like that room?"
"right."
After saying that, Xu's eyes were seen drifting.
Xu Qiuqian raised an eyebrow.
Guessed it right.
"Which one is that?"
"Aunt, can you tell me which room it is?" Xu Qiuqian asked with a smile.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Zhen'er went out to gain experience two years ago. How could he be here?"
Xu Qiuqian pretended not to hear.
She pointed to the one on the left: "Is this the one?"
Pointing to the right again: "Or this one?"
When she pointed to the room on the right, she saw Xu subconsciously lowering her eyes, trying to avoid her inquiring gaze.
It seems to be the one on the right.
I walked in and tapped the ground with my fingers. After a while, I felt it was hollow.
Xu Qiuqian took out the Qianyuan pen and drew a hammer on the spot. He took out the hammer and smashed it into the hollow place. A ladder leading down appeared in front of him.
"What is this?" Ying Liangzhi asked curiously.
"My magic weapon." Putting away the Qianyuan pen, she climbed down the ladder.
Ying Liangzhi was still thinking about the magical weapon that Xu Qiuqian had just taken out.
After a while, Xu Qiuqian came up and glanced at Xu who was struggling desperately, with a complicated expression.
"Let her go."
"Release?"
"Um."
Ying Liangzhi let go of Xu, and Xu quickly rushed into the room and into the basement.
"how?"
"Ying Zhen is dead."
Ying Liangzhi was stunned.
Is Ying Zhen dead?
What's going on?
At this time, Xu's wailing came from below.
"Let's go down and take a look together."
When the two of them went down, they saw Ying Zhen lying on the stone bed with his eyes wide open, as if he had seen something shocking.
No breath at all.
He is indeed dead, and he should not have been dead for very long.
After all, Xu would go down to check on Ying Zhen's condition every once in a while.
Ying Liangzhi had a complicated expression.
"How did you guess that Ying Zhen didn't leave?"
"You said before that after Ying Zhen left, the Xu family changed their previous arrogance and became cautious. They even moved away from their original place and lived in a remote courtyard."
"that's all?"
"But I didn't doubt these until I asked Feng Qingyan yesterday. He said that when he went to look for him, Xu told him that Ying Zhen had gone out to train. Later, he looked for Ying Zhen for such a long time but couldn't find him. When you came here today, you told me that there were no elixirs and spirit stones in Xu's storage bag."
It is indeed not easy to guess the answer to a single incident.
But when you put a few things together, it's easy to guess.
Especially Xu's tired and suspicious look. It was probably because the families of the victims of those foreign disciples had come to visit her before and had been harassing her until recently, which made her so jumpy.
That's why Ying Liangzhi tricked him into revealing his identity.
"In the past two years, Ying Zhen has probably been secretly helping Ying Tiancheng."
"Zhen'er...Zhen'er, wake up!" Xu burst into tears.
After crying for an unknown amount of time, Xu murmured in pain, "Who killed Zhen'er?"
Ying Liangzhi asked, "Besides you, does anyone else know that Ying Zhen is here?"
"And the Fourth Master."
He exchanged a glance with Xu Qiuqian.
As expected, Ying Zhen was probably killed by Ying Tiancheng's men, or he might have killed him personally.
