There were four coffins in the courtyard, two containing Wang Fu and the Ghost Valley, and the other two empty. This was something that Mo Xi had ordered someone to create overnight. The two extra dishes were naturally for the murderer.
Li Zhi Xiang and Chu Li had only brought ten thousand people with them when they came to Kongtong. The two of them had already arrived at Kongtong the day before yesterday. When they heard that Mo Xi Yan was here, they hurried over. When they had just entered and saw the four coffins, the two of them felt extremely awkward. After listening to Mo Xi Yan's explanation, the two of them represented the Hua Mountain Sect in mourning for Wang Fu and Ghost Valley.
At that moment, Mo Xiyan was accompanying them in the main hall, and the guests sat down. Mo Xi Yan took the main seat while Chu Li and Li Zhixiang took the main seat. After Ye Chanhan came in, Chu Li and Li Zhixiang's faces looked a little unnatural, and Ye Chanhan understood the two. Although Zhang Qingwu did not directly follow Wu Dang and Shaolin to express his attitude and attack him, the elders of the Hua Shan Sect could not get too close to him, otherwise, if word of this got out, it would definitely affect the reputation of the Hua Shan Sect.
”Lord Ye.” Mo Xiyan glanced at Chu Li and Li Zhixiang. Yesterday, Brother Liang said that the murderer will appear soon. Do you think that what he said is correct? ”
Chu Li and Li Zhixiang looked at each other, not understanding what Mo Xi Yan meant. However, Ye Mo Han knew that the murderer should be at least two people, according to his and Liang Rufeng's analysis yesterday. Liang Rufeng then said that the murderer would appear soon. Today, Chu Li and Li Zhixiang had both come here, and Mo Xi Yan was still feeling sad. No matter who said that the murderer would appear soon, she would believe it. Besides, two people had just arrived. Ye Mo Han wasn't sure if Chu Li and Li Zhi Xiang were the culprits or not, but the two of them were definitely suspicious.
”Young Master Liang left last night.” ”… …” Ye Mo Han didn't know how to reply. He told me to tell you today that he wants to find a quiet place to focus on training his sword. ”
Mo Xi laughed coldly and turned to look at the two of them, ”Good Young Noble Feng said last night that the murderer of my Uncle Wang would appear soon, and Young Noble Ye Mo Han said that there should be two murderers. Elder Chu and Elder Li have indeed come at the right time today.”
Ye Mo Han looked at Mo Xi Yan in surprise. He had thought that she would do things with a sense of propriety if she could take Chi Feng away. Who knew that when he appeared, she would start pointing at Chu Li and Li Zhi Xiang as murderers?
”Miss Mo.” ”The face of the saddle suddenly changed.” Are you saying that Junior Brother Li and I killed the people from the Mo Clan? ”
”May I ask how Sect Leader Zhang of the Hua Shan Sect knew that Gongsun Chun Qiu had a Hornbeam, and that the Kongtong Sect was in chaos?” Mo Xiyan stood up and dozens of Mo Clan members immediately rushed out from the back of the hall, all of them wielding sabers and axes.
Ye Jianhan finally understood why Mo Xiyan had sent Chi Feng away. She wanted to take down Chu Li and Li Zhixiang herself.
”Miss Mo!” Seeing that the situation was urgent, Li Zhixiang frequently signalled to Ye Mo Han to persuade Mo Xi Yan. Senior Chu and I have only come here on the orders of the Sect Leader. As for the other matters, Senior Chu and I are completely unaware of them. Furthermore, Senior Brother and I were always on the way here yesterday. ”
”So you're saying that I've wronged you?” Mo Xi questioned.
”We still need evidence.” ”” Ye Mo Han advised. ” ”We can't just incriminate the two elders based on speculation alone. This won't be good for the Mo Clan and the Hua Shan Sect in the future, right?”
Mo Xi waved her hand, indicating for everyone to withdraw, and the tense atmosphere immediately eased up. Mo Xi Yan sat down again and said: ”What Young Master Ye says is reasonable. I was too impulsive to do anything because of Uncle Wang's death. I hope the two elders can forgive me.”
