While Yun Yang did not pass the night peacefully, another soul in another place was equally disturbed In the residence of the old ht frown

“Who was it that spirited Wu Wenyuan away, and sent his lifeless body back?”

“Who was it that rescued Wu Wenyuan’s mother and wife?”

The oldto put a name to these two questions If one had intended to do aith Wu Wenyuan, why bother saving his ure could do that, why not save Wu Wenyuan’s children as well? It was sireatly distressed the olda person frouarded facility, he or she could also return the body and make aith another two other prisoners with apparent ease It was a prison! How so act in one of the most secure places in the capital was beyond him

By the marshal’s side stood a man, dressed in the ways of Confucianism He had a serene look about hiently passing by

“Marshal, I believe this is not an entirely important matter After all, it could be said that the victi of his fate” The man smiled, “There is, another issue that may warrant your attention”

“H Wu Wenyuan, returning his body, saving his wife and aged mother…” the Confucian scholar continued, “It is obvious that the individual or organization that undertook this does not side with Wu Wenyuan; as accomplices, they would not have killed hiuess it that they killed Wu Wenyuan but saved his wife and mother as conditions of a bet” The scholar smiled, “That sounds entirely reasonable”

“They further de behind his children, so as to prevent his lineage fro” The scholar said, “This hy they did so so inexplicable After a while, I am inclined to think that this person is on our side; friend not fiend Although his actions were a tad over the top, and contemptuous of the law, it was understandable”

Qiu Jianhan gave a slow nod, “If so, what is this other matter that you speak of?”

“The other h Wu Wenyuan was convicted with concrete evidence, he had to have been backed by some formidable foes, as his other identity has not been exposed even until now! Has the ate’s record after the htly worried expression marred the scholar’s pleasant expression, “There areCity froates A lot of these individuals were a the experts, but their names were not on any of the records I believe that these people’s identities were all fabricated at the point of entry SoCity with concealed identities, at a time when Wu Wenyuan was just executed? This would be too coincidental to be genuinely unrelated I’e Or perhaps, they have some other malicious purpose in mind”

The scholar concluded, “I just wanted you to be aware of this”

Qiu Jianhan nodded grimly

“It’s just, I still think…” Qiu Jianhan kept up, “The incident in the prison is still a little strange”

“I feel that…”

After a moment’s hesitation, the scholar continued, “This incident is rather similar to when the Nine-Day Decree was ordained In that particular year…”

He frowned uncertainly as his voice lowered, “There was the fa of an unstoppable tide, a series of incidents which we could do nothing about It was as if someone had a hand in these events”

“Who?”

Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan shot up frohtly, “The Nine Supre was already up and practising his swordplay He was reluctant to use the Divine Edge just to familiarize himself with saber forms, so he held a practice saber instead

The saber was now cleverly caed as a purple lotus on the sleeve of his robe For a ical weapon with such an ability; it would be tactically unwise to reveal all his cards so early in a fight As for wearing it on his hip, well it would just be plain foolish to do so

“First style, Merciless Saber” Yun Yang rotated the ball of his foot and his kneewith the rotation of his calf to his hip, his body swiveled half a loop as the practice wooden saber in his hands slashed the air fro this routine for a hundred or perhaps even a thousand repetitions

Frohtly pursed lips

This foraudy to be of any use in real-life co rounds

“Hu!” Yun Yang dropped to the ground eariness when the last of his energy had been used up, clothes soaked through with sweat and dust
