Fan JiJing said, “Cousin, this is the Jiuhua Sect’s business You are one of the Hua family after all…”
“The Jiuhua Sect’s business?” Hua HuaiXiu humphed, “Everyone who is somewhat respected in the Jiuhua Sect is now a suspect Who would you have investigate this?”
“I…” Fan JiJing opened histo volunteer hi tothe ones with the best motive”
Fan JiJing said dumbly, “But Cousin just testified for me…”
Hua HuaiXiu squinted his eyes and asked, “So, now you are burning the bridge after crossing it? Or are you going to find that guy from the Yinshan Sect to testify for you?” He shut his mouth abruptly
Fan JiJing gazed at him in surprise: “Cousin, you…”
Hua HuaiXiu’s eer “I don’t care what kind of relationshi+p you and that Zhang Feng have at all!”
Fan JiJing explained, “We were just traveling together on the same road”
Hua HuaiXiu stared at hi the credibility of his words
Fan JiJing had no choice but to stay still so Hua HuaiXiu could stare as he wished
After staring for a while, Hua HuaiXiu was finally satisfied and changed the topic: “Anyway, the Jiuhua Sect wants to find the men, and I want to leave Mount Jiuhua soon; therefore, I have to find out who murdered your master as soon as possible”
Fan JiJing wanted to argue about it, but Hua HuaiXiu directly handed hi hot tea
He took it, then cooled it down using the inner force through his palms
Hua HuaiXiu raised his eyebrows, then said, “You are much more skilled in inner arts than in your martial arts moves” The Hua Family was both wealthy and powerful As a result, they were never short on martial arts manuals What they lacked was talented people ere able to fully grasp these h people of the Hua family were not very proficient at ood eye for talent
Fan JiJing responded, “The Jiuhua Sect has only one set of inner arts”
Hua HuaiXiu’s eyes lit up a bit as he said, “By the way, your ood person”
“Cousin!” Fan JiJing’s face darkened “No matter what Master has done before, the departed shall be respected You should not disturb his spirit”
Hua HuaiXiu pressed his lips together, then said, “I’ him from what I have observed Only scoundrels harm a man of justice, and for a hly possible that the people who har Fan JiJing frowning at hiave a faint sain to be suspected”
Fan JiJing asked perplexedly, “When was I ever a victim of unfair treatment?”
“Bu LouLian has a total of five disciples Besides his only fe, and you, everyone kno to use Xianlian Sword Isn’t this unfair?”
Fan JiJing shook his head in re
ply: “Master is the zhangmen of the Jiuhua Sect He has the authority to decide on the disciples ill carry on the Xianlian Sword”
Every ti silly with a serious expression, Hua HuaiXiu would reatly He sighed, “You can think like this, but not everyone thinks like you”
Fan JiJing looked at him doubtfully
“Although ShangGuan DingNing is a woman, women have their ambitions as well The Jiuhua Sect is not a sect that follows the rule of ‘Pass it onto theaside the fact that you were not on Mount Jiuhua at that tiht the sword arts to the others but not her One cannot say for sure that she didn’t have some murderous intentions towards hi once said that your master had always been annoyed by her clumsiness when he was alive and used to boss her around Any woo”
Fan JiJing said, “But shi+mei, she…”
“Moreover, ShangGuan DingNing and Zhu LiaoDa were fond of each other, but your master willfully hindered the on the old ones, evil grew abreast of their galls…” Hua HuaiXiu lifted the cup and swirled it a few tilint of coldness flashed across his eyes
Fan JiJing was shocked by the coldness that gli period of time, he said, “But…”
“But the two of theh to kill your master”
Fan JiJing nodded
“That’s why they are just suspects for now” Hua HuaiXiu put down the teacup and said, “I have a strange feeling at this moment”
“Strange feeling?”
“The reason that your shi+di and shi+shu were apathetic towards your ht be…”
Fan JiJing persisted, “Might be what?”
Hua HuaiXiu answered slowly, “Whether they are the murderers or not, they all had motives to become one”
Fan JiJing was dazed After a period of ti that all of them wanted Master dead?”
“It’s possible” Hua HuaiXiu said, “But this is what makes me curious If it’s the murderer, he should make every attempt to cover up his rief Why have none of them even bothered to conceal it?”
