Both Qu Feiyan and Chu Qinghe's expressions changed slightly upon hearing what Dongfang Bubai suddenly said.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Bubai continued, "When I went out today, considering that the identity of yesterday's corpse was still unknown, I asked someone to find Li Dequan to prepare a portrait of yesterday's corpse."
"However, my disciples just reported that Li Dequan's body was found at home half an hour ago. The murderer escaped through the north gate after injuring my disciples."
Chu Qinghe raised an eyebrow as he heard Dongfang Bubai's words.
Qu Feiyan, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but say, "The body was the source of the problem yesterday, and Li Dequan was dealt with today. Does that mean the person who did it today was hiding in the shadows?"
Dongfang Bubai nodded and said, "It should be!"
Dongfang Bubai shook his head slightly, his gaze falling on Chu Qinghe.
While Dongfang Bubai waited, Chu Qinghe pondered for a moment and then asked, "What was the cause of death?"
Dongfang Bubai: "A single strike to the throat must have been the work of a master swordsman. According to the injured disciple, his cultivation level should be at the late stage of the Innate Realm."
Chu Qinghe stroked his chin and said, "A sword master at the late stage of the Innate Realm? So, is this a signal?"
Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe and asked, "What signal are you referring to, young master?"
In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Dongfang Bubai said coldly, "Since he is a master at the late stage of the Innate Realm, it would be too easy for him to kill Li Dequan without anyone noticing."
"But that person deliberately injured my Sun Moon Divine Sect disciple after killing him before escaping. Such a high-profile act was as if he was afraid we wouldn't discover what he had done."
At this point, Qu Feiyan belatedly realized that she understood what Dongfang Bubai meant by those words.
He then pondered for a moment and said, "That's true. A master in the late stage of the Innate Realm, let alone Li Dequan, even the elders in the Sun Moon Divine Sect would probably have a hard time dealing with him."
"But that person only injured but did not kill the disciples of the Sun Moon Sect. Afterwards, he deliberately killed people and escaped through the North Gate, as if he was deliberately indicating his intention to leave."
Dongfang Bubai looked at Chu Qinghe and asked, "What do you think?"
Chu Qinghe shrugged and said, "What can we do now that they've already run away?"
Listening to what Chu Qinghe said, Qu Feiyan asked, "But didn't they find a token on the person who broke into Li Dequan's house? If Sister Dongfang can find out which force this token belongs to, wouldn't she also be able to find out who is secretly plotting this?"
In response, Chu Qinghe glanced at Qu Feiyan and said slowly, "Since you were able to find Manager Li after only one day, the expert who used the knife today must have been in Yushui City before."
"If that's the case, and that person knew Li Dequan would take us to see the corpse but still let it go, how effective do you think that token is?"
"Or maybe the token itself can't reveal anything."
"Either the token was deliberately left behind by the other party to give us a direction for our investigation."
Qu Feiyan thought for a moment and then sighed, "That's right! When Li Dequan came to see you yesterday, the body had been sitting in Li Dequan's house unattended. It would have been too easy for him to do anything during that time."
Dongfang Bubai, who was standing to the side, frowned after hearing what Chu Qinghe said and asked, "Is it a deliberate attempt to create a veil of illusion?"
Qu Feiyan, who was standing next to her, added, "Maybe it's a deliberate attempt to shift the blame, leaving it behind for you, Sister Dongfang, to investigate."
After the two finished speaking, Chu Qinghe propped up one cheek and said, "Anyway, we should investigate, but before we figure things out, we shouldn't rush to take action, lest we be used by others."
At this point, Chu Qinghe didn't say anything more.
With Dongfang Bubai's intelligence, he understands some things perfectly well, so Chu Qinghe doesn't need to say too much.
Moreover, based on the information we currently have, we can't deduce much more than this.
Over here, through Chu Qinghe's few words, Dongfang Bubai's thoughts also began to expand.
As his thoughts wandered, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but glance at Chu Qinghe, who was looking nonchalant, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Regarding Li Dequan's situation, the group shared almost all the information.
Chu Qinghe knew no more than they did.
However, based on this situation, even with such a short time and limited information after Dongfang Bubai revealed Li Dequan's situation, Chu Qinghe was able to immediately perceive some problems.
Some of the points he even came up with were things that Dongfang Bubai had never considered before.
This single insight and keenness are enough to demonstrate Chu Qinghe's exceptional intelligence, which is far beyond what ordinary people can match.
However, the better Chu Qinghe performed, the more satisfied Dongfang Bubai was.
A moment later, Dongfang Bubai nodded slightly and then used his movement technique to float out of the courtyard.
They were clearly going to find disciples of the Sun Moon Cult.
After Dongfang Bubai left, Qu Feiyan imitated Chu Qinghe by resting her chin on her hand and said, "Sigh! Things in the martial world are really complicated. You never know if what you find out will be useful."
Chu Qinghe said lazily, "So, when you have nothing to do, try to be less lazy and practice more. Improve your strength as soon as possible, so that you can handle any trouble you may encounter in the future."
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan pouted and said, "Young Master is clearly the laziest, yet you criticize him."
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe gently patted Qu Feiyan's head and said, "That's why I'm the young master! Who would ask their young master to take care of a problem?"
Touching the spot where Chu Qinghe had patted her, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but roll her eyes, speechless for a moment.
.........
The next day.
early morning.
As the sunlight began to stream into the courtyard, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue were already standing there, eyes closed, cultivating.
True energy circulated continuously around their bodies as the energy within them changed.
Bathed in the morning sunlight, the two already stunningly beautiful people were enveloped in an even more radiant glow, their beauty beyond compare.
After washing up, Chu Qinghe sat in the courtyard, basking in the morning sunlight, his gaze fixed on the courtyard.
It must be said that men's happiness is sometimes this simple and unpretentious.
Just like Chu Qinghe at this moment.
Sometimes he would look at the aloof and ethereal Yaoyue, and sometimes he would look at the fiery red-clad and spirited Dongfang Bubai beside him.
Although it was early morning, I already felt cheerful.
After finishing breakfast, Chu Qinghe greeted the three women and then strolled outside.
