Chapter 196 Battle of Wits



——

Half an hour later, Mu Shuxin arrived in a hurry with the police.

When the police saw the large number of dead bodies, they were equally shocked and turned pale.

The strong smell of blood made everyone gag. Mu Shuxin, suppressing his nausea, rushed forward and saw bloodstains on Wen Li. He asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"

Wen Li shook her head.

The bodies of these Taoist priests require forensic examination to be collected at the scene for evidence. Zhang Huaiyu flew over directly that day.

They were quite surprised to learn that this mysterious purple-robed venerable one had so many followers.

This matter was so fantastical that it was feared to cause public panic, so the local police classified it as a confidential case and launched a nationwide investigation.

The Celestial Masters Association became even busier as a result.

Zhang Huaiyu searched for clues all over the country. A few days later, Wen Li received a call from the other party just after she had finished dealing with everything in the Dayong Mausoleum.

“Venerable Purple Robe, we have found some clues, but this matter is not easy to handle.”

Wen Li knew immediately that it was indeed a big deal.

Zhang Huaiyu said on the other end of the phone: "The Heavenly Spirit Society does exist, but it is mainly distributed in the Myanmar-Sichuan area. Moreover, the Master Fang you mentioned to us before is most likely the Purple Robe Venerable himself. However, we do not have any evidence and cannot carry out an arrest."

With so many issues involved, it's indeed not easy to handle.

Wen Li expressed her understanding.

As they were talking, Wen Li, wearing a mask, walked out of the airport.

Because it was uncertain when she could return to City A, Wen Li did not inform her family. However, just as she exited the airport and was about to take a taxi, she saw several familiar faces in the waiting area.

Wen Tingsong, her eldest and second elder brothers, and even Xu Yurong were all standing on the platform, smiling and watching her.

Wen Li was stunned. After saying a few words to Zhang Huaiyu, she hung up the phone and quickly walked towards the Wen family.

"Dad, eldest brother, second brother, Xiao Xu, how did you know I was coming back today?"

Wen Tingsong's tone was reproachful, but his face was full of smiles: "We asked your mentor, Professor Mu, and found out about your flight today. Since you didn't tell us, we had no choice but to come and pick you up ourselves."

At this moment, Wen Xingming was wearing a short black down jacket and long work jeans, with a black mask on his face. But his eyes, as bright as stars, peeked out from under his curly hair: "Ta-da! These are flowers that my second brother and aunt carefully selected together. Do you like them?"

Wen Li was caught off guard and accepted the bouquet of flowers, which was wider than her.

The old father glanced at it and couldn't help but ask, "Second son, what did you send? Why chrysanthemums?"

Wen Tingsong had absolutely no taste, and Xu Yurong rolled her eyes at him, saying unhappily, "I chose these chrysanthemums, do you have a problem with that?"

"I……"

Xu Yurong became quite bold, putting her hands on her hips and arguing her point: "What do you mean, 'I'? I didn't curse our girls to die. There are different kinds of chrysanthemums. I didn't specifically choose that kind of chrysanthemum. Wen Tingsong, are you trying to sow discord between me and Wen Li?"

Wen Tingsong had a difficult situation to explain, and wanted to say that he had no such intention at all.

To everyone's surprise, Xu Yurong stood directly next to her daughter and rolled her eyes at him: "Wen Li, I really didn't mean that. It was all your dad's idea."

"And look at him, we haven't seen each other for three months, and he hasn't even brought you a single gift."

After saying that, Xu Yurong looked at Wen Tingsong provocatively.
