91 Qin Xiaoyou’s Misunderstanding (2/2)
Regarding this incident, the Su clan only knew about it late at night. Personnel from the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall had delivered the corpses to their door, also asking the Su clan to cooperate in the investigation. Only then did the Su clan know that the retainers they had sent had died.
That Su Boyu knew about it the next morning showed that their communications were effective.
”Impossible. The clan treated the two later stage Soothing Pulse realm ancient martial art practitioners as honoured guests. How could they be killed by Mo Wen!” A vein on Su Boyu's forehead was pounding. He refused to believe that Mo Wen had such ability.
The two later stage Soothing Pulse realm ancient martial art practitioners were senior experts in his eyes. A mere Mo Wen, who had barely began practicing, how could he possibly kill them?
”The two retainers are indeed dead, but the cause of death for both of them are still unknown. It may not necessarily be Mo Wen who killed them,” the youth analyzed as he said. He also did not believe that a seventeen, eighteen year old boy could kill two retainers of the Su clan.
”Investigate this incident. Investigate it thoroughly,” Su Boyu took a deep breath. He had calmed down a bit now. Two retainers dying simultaneously; this was no small loss for the clan. The incident was also due to him; he would need to take up responsibility for it.
The Su clan had a large fortune and was prosperous. He was not the only young master. Among the direct descendants, there were a few others who were eligible to fight for standing in the clan. They could be a direct threat to his succession as the head of the clan.
Regardless as to who had dealt with the Su clan's two retainers, the Su clan would not stop at that. Although there were many ancient martial art practitioners that would align with the Su clan for fame and riches, very few of them had truly high cultivation.
The entire Su clan only had two retainers at the Sea of Qi realm. As for those of the Soothing Pulse realm, they were few in number. They could be considered the Su clan's mainstay.
As for experts in the Qi Nucleation realm, they would not have aligned with the Su clan. The Su clan was unworthy of them.
”Young master, personnel from the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall have already accepted the case. Should we provide them with some leads?” ghe youth said hesitantly.
”Idiot!” Su Boyu felt a migraine coming over him at his henchman's idiocy.
”This matter stemmed from us. If we revealed it to the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall, wouldn't that be turning ourselves in? Don't forget, the feuds between ancient martial art practitioners were never bothered with by the Huatian Palace. Especially since we were the ones who went after him, they died in vain.”
Looking to explain the situation to the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall was definitely the stupidest thing to do. Although those killed were their own, they had brought it upon themselves. If the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall knew about it, they would not be involved anymore. He still wanted to borrow the resources of the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall to find the culprit behind this.
”Keep your eyes on this. Let me know at once if you have any news,” Su Boyu said with a sullen face. After this incident, he couldn't deny the connection even if he wanted to. The other relatives in the clan would surely bring this up to be discussed. To overcome this predicament would require some thought. Shedding some blood was a small issue, but to sully his image in the eyes of the clan elders would be a disaster.
The youth left upon hearing his words, leaving Su Boyu in thought alone at the stone gazebo.
After a moment, a figure slowly approached him. A girl in a white plain dress, with a slender figure and beautiful face; it could only be Qin Xiaoyou.
”Xiaoyou, you came,” Su Boyu naturally saw Qin Xiaoyou from afar. Quickly he adjusted his look, hiding away his ruthless expression. He greeted her with a warm smile while standing up.
