"Zhu Ziyi!"
"What?!"
"impossible?!"
......
"Kui'er, could you be mistaken?"
Even Li Wu didn't believe that Zhu Ziyi could have done it.
Everyone in Huijincheng knows that Zhu Ziyi of the Zhenguo General's Mansion is so weak that he can't lift a finger. How could he possibly kill Li Kui?
Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe that if I told you that!
Li Kui glanced at everyone's reactions, then turned to his father, "Father, even you don't believe me?"
Li Kui had just woken up and was most vulnerable to shock at this moment. Li Wu hesitated for a moment, then said carefully, "Kui'er, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just that..."
I believe it!
"Chu Yu?"
"Young Master Chu?"
Everyone looked at Chu Yu at the same time, and no one expected that Chu Yu would be the one to speak first.
Upon hearing Chu Yu's words, Yong Heng quickly walked to Chu Yu's side and said urgently, "Chu Yu, this could not possibly have been done by Zhu Xiaoyi. How could he possibly kill Li Kui! There must be some misunderstanding!"
Li Kui struggled to his feet and walked to Yong Heng.
Every word he uttered was true; he would never have dared to falsely accuse an innocent person of theft!
Li Kui's words were so certain that Yong Heng's heart immediately began to race.
He and Li Kui grew up together. Although they didn't interact much, he had heard about Li Kui's character and knew him to be kind and honest.
That's why he was even more unwilling to believe it, and clung tightly to Chu Yu's sleeve as if grasping at the last straw.
"Chu Yu..."
Chu Yu pulled his sleeve from Yong Heng's hand, shook off the crumpled corner of his clothes, and looked at the naked disbelief and pain in Yong Heng's eyes, mercilessly shattering his last hope.
"I believe what Li Kui said!"
Upon hearing Chu Yu's words, Yong Heng lost his footing and stumbled back a few steps, bumping into Tu Er behind him. Tu Er noticed his pale face and helped him up.
"What's wrong? Are you alright?"
Tu Er and Wan Ke had only arrived in Huijin City two days ago, and it was unclear why Yong Heng reacted so strongly upon hearing that it was Zhu Ziyi.
Yong Heng waved his hand, "It's nothing."
Then, one of them was lost in thought about Li Kui's words. He just couldn't believe it was Zhu Xiaoyi. Could Zhu Xiaoyi be the Black Wind Bandit?
This is practically a joke riddled with flaws, but...
Gu Xi had met Zhu Ziyi before, and he did indeed seem to have no martial arts background. However, what strange things don't happen in the Six Realms?
The absence of any signs of martial arts training does not mean the person lacks the ability to kill!
Before yesterday, Hua wouldn't have believed it was Zhu Ziyi, but considering Li Kui's words and the strange events at the Zhenguo General's Mansion yesterday...
Even if she didn't believe what Li Kui said, she would believe whatever Chu Yu said!
By the time Li Kui finished recounting the details of his murder, half a day had passed, and the guests who had come to pay their respects had already dispersed when Li Wu informed him that Li Kui had come back to life.
Regardless of how much of a commotion this matter will cause in Huijin City, the most important thing right now is to find Zhu Ziyi and, ideally, have him confront Li Kui face to face!
When Chu Yu and his group left the Li residence, Li Wu respectfully saw them off at the gate.
"Thank you so much, Young Master Chu. Please feel free to ask me anything in the future!"
"It was nothing, no need to see me off any further, please stay here."
Li Wu didn't straighten up until Chu Yu and the others were out of sight.
Looking in the direction where Chu Yu and the others left, he muttered to himself: "There are such capable people in the world. Could they be gods from heaven who have descended to earth?"
As Chu Yu and his group sat in the carriage, Tu Er, who had been holding back all the way, finally couldn't help but ask, "Chu Yu, how exactly did you revive Li Kui?"
Tu Er's words were also what Gu Xi and the others wanted to ask. Apart from Hua, everyone was eager to know how Chu Yu had managed to do it.
"Can't you and Gu Xi do the same? Why ask such a pointless question!"
"Well......"
Chu Yu's words stopped Tu Er and the others from asking any further questions.
Indeed, it's not impossible for him and Gu Xi to do it if they really wanted to, but it wouldn't be as easy for them as it was for Chu Yu.
To think that you can resurrect a dead person with just a wisp of a soul is simply a pipe dream!
If they want to resurrect Li Kui, they must first go to the underworld to retrieve Li Kui's other soul fragments, and then use various means.
Only in this way can he be resurrected.
Leaving aside whether they can withstand the backlash, each step in this process is far from easy.
But Chu Yu did it so easily, as if the laws of the Six Realms were meaningless to him!
However, since Chu Yu didn't want to talk about it, it would be futile for them to keep asking.
Tu Er glanced at Hua beside Chu Yu. Hua definitely knew, but if Chu Yu didn't want to talk about it, Hua would never reveal a single thing to them.
so......
This matter has to be left at that point...
As they approached the Fourth Prince's residence, Chu Yu glanced at Yong Heng, whose condition had been poor since they had started at the Li residence.
"Yongheng, have the investigation results for Huijincheng come out yet?"
"Huh? What?"
"Oh! You mean the left-handed people in Huijin City?"
"The results aren't out yet, but they should be soon."
When this matter was mentioned, Yongheng's eyes seemed to suddenly light up.
"Yes, all of Li Kui's injuries were from his left hand! Zhu Xiaoyi has always been right-handed! I grew up with him and have never seen him use his left hand!"
Chu Yu remained noncommittal to Yong Heng's words. Seeing that Yong Heng couldn't accept the outcome, she told them about her and Chu Yu's sneaking into the Zhenguo General's Mansion the previous night.
After hearing this, Yongheng still held onto a sliver of hope, but he no longer persisted.
Gu Xi seized on Hua's words and said, "In that case, is it necessary for us to go to the Zhenguo General's Mansion again tonight?"
"Isn't the Fourth Prince's residence a ready-made bait?"
Chu Yu twirled the ring on his finger. "Tonight, the fish should take the bait!"
"Fish bait? The Fourth Prince's residence?"
Looking at Tu Er's bewildered expression, Wan Ke felt a deep sense of helplessness. She had never seen him like this in the Demon Realm. Why did he seem to lose his intelligence when he was with Chu Yu and the others?
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Tu Er turned his attention to Yong Heng across from him.
"Yongheng, do you know what kind of bait they're talking about?"
"ah?"
Yongheng was even more confused; he hadn't listened to a word they were saying.
Seeing that he seemed so out of sorts, Tu Er gave up on asking any further questions. Anyway, the answer would be revealed tonight!
