No one spoke. Yong Heng didn't know Chu Yu and the others' identities. Although he could sense how troublesome the situation was, he wouldn't connect it with the safety of the Six Realms.
Only Hua and Gu Xi, who knew Chu Yu's identity, understood from Chu Yu's words that Li Kui's death was no longer just a matter of the Ministry of Rites, but also no longer a matter of Huijin City or Qin State!
It concerns the six realms!
Things have gone far beyond what they initially expected!
Gu Xi and his group got involved in the Black Wind Bandits' affairs because it was a topic set for the upcoming Immortal Sect Competition!
Every hundred years, the Immortal Clan holds a grand competition between different sects, one of the challenges of which is training!
Each team has different tasks, and it all depends on who can solve the assigned task the fastest and best.
"Chu Yu, have you made any progress on this matter?"
"Although we haven't solved the cause of Li Kui's death on this trip, I wonder if Gu Xi and I noticed that almost all of the knife wounds on Li Kui's body were caused on his left hand?!"
“That’s right, I noticed that too. Apart from the cut on his neck, almost all of them were caused by his left hand!”
Hearing what Chu Yu and Gu Xi said, Yong Heng recalled the wounds on Li Kui's body when he went in to check earlier, and they were just as they said!
"Most martial arts practitioners are right-handed; you probably couldn't find more than a hundred left-handed people in the entire Huijin City!"
After Chu Yu's reminder, Yong Heng suddenly understood!
"Yes, yes, I used to serve in a military camp on the outskirts of the city. There wasn't a single person in the entire camp who could use a sword with his left hand. The only one who could use his left hand was a bookkeeper!"
"This greatly reduces our search area!"
"I'll send men to investigate each military camp right now!"
"Wait a moment!"
Chu Yu called out to Yong Heng, who was walking out.
"It's not just military camps! Sometimes, the safest places are the most dangerous!"
"No official, nobleman, or commoner in the city should be missed!"
"We must investigate each case one by one!"
"this......"
Yong Heng hesitated. If he did this, it would involve too many people, and it might not be easy to proceed...
"We have another helper—Li Wu!"
Hua spoke up to remind Yongheng.
"No one wants to find the murderer more than Li Wu right now!"
After a moment's thought, Yong Heng realized that was indeed the case!
"Uncle Zhang, prepare the horses!"
"I need to go to the Li residence again!"
The atmosphere in the living room became subtly awkward after Yongheng left...
Their eyes darted around, but no one left their seats or spoke.
"It cost money; it was spent outside the Hunyuan Secret Realm last time..."
Hua could almost guess what Gu Xi was going to say, and quickly interrupted him.
"Gu Xi, you don't need to say such formal things. I don't blame you. I've forgotten it all, so you should forget it too."
I really didn't take what happened back then to heart.
They and Gu Xi had only traveled the same path in the Hunyuan Secret Realm. So why should he, for the sake of her and Chu Yu, go against his elder, the Immortal Qingyi, who had cared for him for many years, and stand against his father and clan?
Gu Xi's thousand-year-long preparations, her heart full of words, were all glossed over with a single sentence...
Gu Xi smiled bitterly and lowered her head.
He used to think that when he saw Hua again, he would definitely explain what happened back then, but...
What left him speechless was that, contrary to his expectations, the flower held a grudge against him.
The little goddess he had longed for for a thousand years... it turned out, didn't care at all...
What he said, what he did...
Chu Yu had been in a low mood since yesterday, but now the clouds had finally parted and the sun was shining. He smiled slightly and said in a light voice, "Liao Liao, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to try some candied hawthorns from the mortal world?"
Hua's eyes sparkled with excitement as she looked at Chu Yu with wide, expectant eyes.
"Can we go buy it now?"
He swallowed hard.
I want to eat it!
