"Isn't my brother supposed to have a good alcohol tolerance? How could he have drunk too much?" Rong Xu was somewhat skeptical, but didn't dwell on it.
Outside, Rong Qing blinked his affectionate eyes and said wistfully, "We've only known each other for a short time, and we're already engaged."
The dragon and phoenix wedding candles burned by the bedside, the dim light creating a hazy, ambiguous atmosphere. Rong Xu couldn't help but place a kiss on Lu Qingsi's forehead, then gradually slid down her forehead, nose, lips, chin, neck...
Lu Qingsi couldn't help but let out a muffled groan and reached out to hug him...
Before I could do anything, I heard someone outside shouting, "Something's happened! Something's happened!"
Then, Rong Xu's face turned serious in a second, and he was about to step out the door: "Qing Si, you're here now, I'm going out to see what's going on?"
With Rong Xu leaving, Lu Qingsi could no longer stay here alone.
She quickly changed the color of her clothes: "Come on, I'll go out with you and take a look."
Rong Xu nodded and led Lu Qingsi out.
Everyone outside knew what had happened. They grabbed anyone and asked, and they all said, "Meng Ting of the Floating Dream Sect is dead. His body is right up ahead."
Lu Qingsi's heart skipped a beat. Someone had died, and it just so happened to be Meng Ting, who had a grudge against Lu Ming and his sister. Why did it have to happen at this time?
Lu Qingsi was lost in thought about this matter and didn't notice the cryptic look in the eyes of the junior brother who had spoken to her, clearly questioning whether she was the murderer.
The elder with the sword stood there, looking at the unrecognizable corpse. When Lu Qingsi and Rong Xu arrived, he looked at Lu Qingsi and said, "Do you know what happened?"
Lu Qingsi shook her head.
The elder wielding the sword said, "Someone said they just witnessed you killing Meng Ting. What do you say about that?"
“I didn’t.” Lu Qingsi shook her head: “Although I had some unpleasant things with Senior Brother Meng, I wouldn’t kill him for those things, especially on my wedding day.”
"Tch, that sounds nice, but who knows what you're really thinking? Maybe you think no one will suspect you if you do it today, so you're taking the risk," someone said sarcastically from the side.
Lu Qingsi looked at the person who was speaking. She didn't actually know her. She couldn't understand why the person was targeting her like that.
"Could the elder tell me who saw me do it? I wanted to confront him face to face."
Of all the people present, not one volunteered to stand up.
The elder holding the sword tried to smooth things over, saying, "Forget it, since no one is stepping forward, let's just let it go. I think his injuries were most likely inflicted by a demon that infiltrated the area. Everyone, be on high alert and pay close attention during this time, and make sure he doesn't get the upper hand."
"What about Senior Brother Meng's matter?" Lu Qingsi asked. To be honest, she was a little disappointed in Elder Zhijian. This person was completely different from what she had imagined, and even less reliable than the seemingly unreliable sect leader of the Floating Dream Sect.
"This matter seems rather complicated. Let's wait until both the Shangyuan Sect and the Fumeng Sect arrive before discussing it further," Elder Zhijian continued, trying to smooth things over and unwilling to say more.
But just because he doesn't speak up doesn't mean others will stand by and watch.
At this moment, the person who interrupted clearly had ill intentions: "It seems we can't find the murderer, but I do have a witness."
