Chapter 171 Pei Yuan's Five-Man Group

The pleasant surprise is indeed a pleasant surprise.

However, joy and surprise, opportunity and danger, always coexist.

His gaze fell on Pei Yuan's face, and out of the corner of his eye he glanced at Jun You and An Kang.

All three of them are Sequence One from other Cinder Zone planets.

But it is impossible to judge how his strength compares to Xia Lin or Sheng Lin at his peak.

As the cups were toasted, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was still dull. After a few casual conversations, Xia Lin was the first to say goodbye.

"I am not feeling well and have not recovered from my serious injury, so I will not stay with you for long."

Showing up while he has the excuse of being seriously injured can dispel the suspicion of Pei Yuan and others, so it is necessary to hold a welcoming banquet.

But it would be fine if you just accompanied them, you couldn't stay too long and you couldn't talk too much, otherwise it would arouse the suspicion of Pei Yuan and others, which would be bad.

At this moment, Xia Lin is playing the role of Gu Yu, just like walking on a tightrope. It seems that there is a road, but in fact there are abysses on both sides. Xia Lin has no choice but to be careful.

"Wait, Senior Brother, where is the body of my sworn brother Li Chen?"

Pei Yuan's voice sounded, and his tone became increasingly hostile.

The bone jade is really a grand display.

Xia Lin didn't even turn his head, but just waved his hand: "It's in the side hall, you can take it on your way."

…

Pei Yuan snorted softly as he watched Gu Yu's back disappear at the end of the banquet hall.

"Disrespectful fellow!"

But he spoke again soon.

"But it's highly likely that this wasn't some insidious frame-up or deliberate targeting... With Senior Brother Gu Yu's rebellious personality, he wouldn't be able to do this, nor would he bother to resort to such mean tricks."

"In this case, Brother Junyou's judgment is most likely correct. There is something wrong with Li Chen's last words before his death. It seems that someone interfered with his emotions and judgment."

There was a crisp "click" sound.

At the side, a man named Jun You took a bite of the spiritual fruit, chewed it, and looked at Gu Yu's leaving back, his gaze deep and smiling.

Just then Pei Yuan's voice rang out again.

"Brother Junyou? Brother Junyou? Are you listening to what I say?"

Jun You turned his head and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Of course I was listening... You are right, Li Chen was not killed by Gu Yu."

After a short pause, he continued, "As for who killed your brother, we need to investigate it in detail, which is a tedious task."

After Jun You finished speaking, Pei Yuan bowed to Jun You.

"For this matter, we have to rely on Brother Junyou."

Then he looked at his three good friends: Daoyan from the Five Elements Sect, Qinglian from the Holy Sword Sect, and Ankang, the Walker from the Ashes District.

"I still have to ask the three of you to stay here and spend more time with me... My brother-in-law's death cannot be in vain. No matter who killed him, I will make the murderer pay the price!"

Dao Yan nodded seriously and looked at Pei Yuan with admiration in his eyes.

"Brother Pei is right. If you kill our people, how can you not pay the price?"

"No matter if the murderer is Gu Yu or someone else, as long as Jun You can find the murderer, no matter where he comes from, I will definitely take him down even if I have to ask my master to come forward! Help Brother Pei avenge the murder of my brother!"

Daoyan spoke these words passionately.

It even made Junyou, Ankang, and Qinglian twitch their lips, and Pei Yuan laughed out loud, but also felt a little embarrassed...

Daoyan was a young genius, but somewhat ignorant of worldly affairs.

He was recently assigned to the front-line battlefield for training. Due to some coincidences, he got acquainted with Pei Yuan. He was impressed by Pei Yuan's chivalrous spirit and was willing to be Pei Yuan's little tail.

You said Pei Yuan has the spirit of a chivalrous elder brother? Yes, he really does.

This can be seen from the fact that he rushed to the Eighth Animal Realm as soon as he heard about Li Chen's death.

Don’t worry about whether this is the underlying character or an external mask of disguise... After disguising for a long time, it becomes real, and the fake part becomes real too.

In short, Daoyan has a strong background and is quite powerful. Pei Yuan brought him to the Eighth Animal Realm to target Bone Jade.

If it is really Gu Yu who did it, and Gu Yu has set up a tight net in the Eighth Animal Realm waiting for him to come, with Dao Yan's background and the magic weapons bestowed by the elders, he will be able to control Gu Yu and shatter his plans.

But now it seems that the thing was not done by Bone Jade.

Then it's Junyou's turn to take action.

He turned around and looked at Junyou.

This man is about twenty years old, handsome, and exudes a lazy temperament.

He was wearing a black windbreaker and had an eye-catching and strange red mole between his eyebrows.

This person is from the alien sequence one. According to his own statement, he comes from Qinghu Star - a planet located in an unknown corner.

He appeared in the Xianwu battlefield three months ago. His ability system is very strange. He is neither Xianwu nor martial arts. His specific name cannot be seen, but he joined the side of Tiandao Creator and became acquainted with Pei Yuan.

In just three months, Jun You has demonstrated extraordinary talent and intelligence, and has now joined the front-line staff. It was not easy for him to be invited by Pei Yuan this time.

Pei Yuan invited this man to catch the thief! As the leader, Li Chen couldn't die in vain.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It is Pei Yuan's duty as the leader of Donghexing to find the truth, catch the real murderer, and make him pay the price to comfort Li Chen's spirit in heaven.

Just as Jun You threw away the fruit core, he picked up another spiritual fruit.

He weighed the spiritual fruit in his hand, turned around and smiled at Pei Yuan.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me, I will definitely not let the real murderer get away."

"As for today, since you are tired from the journey, I suggest that you all take a night's rest and adjust your spirits, and then think about other things tomorrow."

After saying that, he stood up and left, but Pei Yuan's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Brother, my brother's body is right next to us, why don't you go take a look first?"

Jun You waved his hand: "It's not necessary, and there's no rush."

Without looking back.

Judging from his movements, he was 80% similar to Xia Lin who had just left the table.

…

The tallest building in Guyu City.

Top floor.

The warm light shines down, illuminating the entire room.

Modern decoration is closely combined with immortal array patterns, and what finally appears before people's eyes is an exquisite living room that is grand and luxurious, yet warm and livable.

This is both Bone Jade's residence and her training room.

After the dinner, Xia Lin returned here immediately.

Lying on the sofa made of the skin of a mythical beast, Xia Lin's whole body sank into it, as if wrapped, warm and comfortable.

The gentle fluctuations of spiritual energy swept across his body, washing away Xia Lin's fatigue and making his mind clearer.

Thinking of Pei Yuan and the others at the dinner, Xia Lin slowly narrowed his eyes, his thoughts swirling.

After thinking for a moment, he opened the task list and looked at his task description.

The main mission has been completed and the return process can be started at any time.

The promotion quest has also been completed, but the promotion quest cannot be triggered twice in the same Jhin zone.

Both the side quests and clearance quests have been activated and are in an unfinished state.

Close the task list and re-examine the current situation in the Eighth Animal Realm.

Soon, Xia Lin sighed in his heart.

"Plans cannot keep pace with changes. Now that Pei Yuan and his people have arrived, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."
