Hua HuaiXiu stood agape as he listened If Guan Xing’s words were in fact the truth, then it could be said that Bu LouLian intentionally tried to kill shi+ JiZhong and Zhu LiaoDa What kind of grudge could they have between the to kill his own disciple despite their decades of master-disciple relationshi+p?
He could not ied by his escape froement, he would never drive him towards death
Fan JiJing was obviously stunned by the truth He cried out ”eldest shi+xiong” feebly a few ti after
Guan Xing was not surprised by how far he had lost himself He had experienced the exact same phase before
Since Hua HuaiXiu was an outsider in this case, he collected himself quickly from the initial astonishment and seized the occasion to ask, ”Do you know the reason?”
shi+ JiZhong pivoted his head in silence He raised his hand as if he was going to wipe the corner of his eyes
Guan Xing slightly turned his body to block Fan JiJing and Hua HuaiXiu's line of sight for him
Aa face that looked a bit dry: ”I have asked myself and can ansith a clear conscious that I have always treated Master as le thought of disrespect I too have no idea why Master would treat me like this”
Fan JiJing instantly thought of so know about this?”
shi+ JiZhong's face froze
Guan Xing answered with a poker face: ”I have reminded him implicitly, but he didn't take it to heart”
At first, Hua HuaiXiu only felt everyone in the Jiuhua Sect was indifferent; but now, it was just bizarre
Master tried to har looked cold-heartedly at shi+di's life and death as well The only nor, yet Hua HuaiXiu suddenly felt that a person like him was actually the oddity in a sect like this, as he was incompatible with the entire Jiuhua Sect
After hearing Guan Xing's words, Fan JiJing beca”
Guan Xing's lips moved a bit, but he was able to hold back in the end
Hua HuaiXiu kept an eye on hiarden and didn't go to other places?”
”I can't” Guan Xing answered honestly ”Just like how you had no way to verify whether ere really chatting in our rooms or not”
Normally, Hua HuaiXiu would admire his honesty, but at the moment, no matter how he looked, he could only see provocation fro the Axe [1] states, when you suspect soardless of their deeds
shi+ JiZhong suddenly spit out a sentence: ”We did not kill Bu LouLian”
The way he referred to Bu LouLian by na him Master like before revealed the amount of hatred that had already accuuise, but since the disguise was torn, the emotions buried deep inside his heart were now exposed to the light
Fan JiJing said in a low voice, ”Perhaps Master had his own difficulties”
shi+ JiZhong stared at hi to find the tiniest bit of insincerity on his face However, after staring for a long time, what he saas only the deter's bewildered expression, as if his respect to hiscould ever shake it
Guan Xing said, ”A oes out Whatever he has done while he was alive, there's no need to go after it now”
”But there's a need to find out who the murderer is,” said Hua HuaiXiu
Guan Xing looked at him with eyes as cold as ice
The fairness and elegance of Hua HuaiXiu's countenance hardly had an equal in this world, but Guan Xing looked at hi at a piece of wood
Fan JiJing couldn't stand it anymore He took a step forward and pulled Hua HuaiXiu back one step Then he said, ”Eldest shi+xiong, I hope you really live up to what you just said”
The cold light in his eyes vanished Guan Xing glanced at hih I am not the murderer, I admire the one who is”
Fan JiJing's face stiffened, but Guan Xing turned around and walked towards the garden
shi+ JiZhong followed him, but after a few steps, he turned back his head: ”I don't knoho is the murderer, but I think he must have had his own difficulties”
After the two of the stood where they were, both in a daze
Hua HuaiXiu was staring at Fan JiJing's hand which was holding his ar in the direction the two of them had headed off to
A long time passed
Fan JiJing couldn't help but to put down his hand, perhaps because he was tired, but Hua HuaiXiu caught it right away
”Cousin?” Fan JiJing looked at the overlapping hands with a puzzled expression
Hua HuaiXiu gave a few dry coughs, raised Fan JiJing's hand, then asked, ”When was the last time you cut your nails?”
Fan JiJing didn't catch his words for a ht tio”
”No wonder they are so long” Hua HuaiXiu lied right to his face, then set his hand free and changed the subject ”What were you thinking just now?”
Fan JiJing let out a faint sigh and said, ”I was thinking maybe I shouldn't find the murderer”
