C43 (2/2)
From the moment he had met Lu Yi, Jin Jian had accidentally fallen into the extremely deep cold, to what he had seen and heard in the border town of Extreme Chuan Ice Plains, to the mayfly tribe that he had broken into, to the place where Ying Kong had sealed off the mayfly tribe with him and Lu Yi. If he didn't encounter an ambush, Ying Kong would have died a violent death. However, the matter of hugging and warming up with Lu Yi under the extremely deep cold and then gradually becoming more and more intimate with each other as they traveled together was something that was akin to glue and was avoided from being discussed.
However, it was enough for someone with a high cultivation like Extreme Dao King Gen to be shocked to the core. Upon hearing the news of the Cherry Blossom Young Master's death, he nodded his head repeatedly, ”So that's how it is. At that time, He Lan Wuque appeared at the scene of the crime. That's why I gave him the chance to be framed.”
However, Jin Jian said, ”Master, I heard that you and Senior He Lan Wuque are close friends?”
”At that time, his relationship with Princess Zhu Yi was plotted against by the Bead Wasteland Clan's leader. Later on, there was a tragic case of the Bead Wasteland Clan, and because the wound was so similar to a cut from a blade, countless people suspected that it was actually Helian Wuya's doing. ”However, I am well aware of He Lan Wuque's character. I believe that he will not do that, so I advised him to retreat until I find out the evidence to wash off his grievances. Then, I will come out again.”
Jin Jian replied, ”But then, all the races decided to seal the Mayfly race's remains from the Pearl clan. Since the Pearl clan ruins were sealed, the extermination of the Pearl clan could not be investigated. Therefore, Helan's wrongdoings were never clarified.”
Jadesky King said, ”That's right. ”You said that for many days, Lu Yi has been with you?”
Jin Jian said, ”That's right.”
”Then, what about the rumors about Lu Yi catching He Lan Wuque a few days ago?” asked the Zenith King.
Jin Jian smiled embarrassedly, ”That's … your disciple's plan.”
The Gen King frowned, ”Your plan?”
Jin Jian said, ”That's right, when Senior Ying died, Lu Yi and I were present. We all knew that Senior Ying died because her internal organs were shattered by someone else with a high inner force, and this was not a cut that was rumoured to be made. Furthermore, He Lan Wuque has visited us many times before. Firstly, we wanted to find out who killed Senior Ying, and secondly, we wanted to help He Lan Wuque get away with it. Thus, we came up with this idea. ”
Dishi smirked at the side and said, ”You want to lure the real killer or Hailan to find you. The reason why you want to lure the killer to show himself is understandable.”
Jin Jian said, ”Because there aren't many people who know about He Lan Wuque's reappearance from the martial arts world. We need to lure He Lan Wuque out and ask him who he has met since his reappearance. Then, the problem can be easily solved.”
Dishi said, ”When Hailan went to find your master, did you suspect him of being the murderer?”
Jin Jian said, ”Mistress, you are joking again. Does Mistress even know about the matter between Master and Houlan? ”
Dishi Cha glanced at the Duke of Jidao and said, ”Of course I know. If it wasn't for that He Lan Wuque back then, your current mistress would have been the Pearl Princess.”
The Zenith Clan King hurriedly replied, ”Ah, Madame has almost reached a thousand years ago. Why are you still talking about this?”
Daisy said, ”Why, don't you dare mention it!”
Extreme Dao Gen said, ”Hmph, I wonder if you're jealous of Hillen or the Pearl Princess.”
Dishi Cha immediately blushed and said, ”You, you dare to say that again.”
Jin Jian felt that the plot was rather complicated and tried to shift the topic to the current case. He said, ”But Helian Wuya said that there is someone else who knows about him coming out of the martial arts world.”
”Who is it?”
Jin Jian said, ”Jellyfish clan elder, Cherry Blossom.”
Jagged Jellyfish? He has a very high prestige in Zhong Hai. Logically speaking, there should be no reason for him to help the mayfly tribe. ”
Daisy said, ”As the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover. If there is a suspicion, why would he give up on it upon seeing it? ”
”But when doing something, especially when thinking, such a risky thing like killing Young Master Ying Kong, there has to be a reason for it, right? Ying Zhongxue was an elder of the jellyfish clan and the elder of the young master Ying Kong. Although the young master was the clan leader, he had a carefree personality and ignored the clan politics. Thus, he was naturally the grand patriarch. As the jellyfish clan elder, he is the most prestigious person in the entire Zhong Hai, so how could he have nothing better to do to help the mayfly clan? Back then when he was fighting the mayfly clan, he was the main general sealing the mayfly clan, so wouldn't he be making himself uncomfortable by letting out the mayfly clan? ”
Daisy said, ”You're right.”
Jin Jian said, ”What He Lan Wuque is thinking is that someone might have used some other method to find out about the news of his return.”
Dishi said, ”Didn't that Lu Yi know about the incident with Haeru as well? Could it be that she secretly sent the news to Old Lord Green Fin without telling you? ”
Jin Jian said, ”But all the way here, Lu Yi has never left my disciple's side. Furthermore, if Lu Yi had been on the mayfly side, as long as I let go of this disciple, I would've been dead for sure. How could I have come here to inform Master and Mistress about these matters?” Furthermore, on the way here, she has also put in a lot of effort to investigate Senior Ying's death. Furthermore, we have always been inseparable, so I believe that Lu Yi will definitely not be able to participate. ”
Daisy nodded.
The Zenith Clan's king raised an eyebrow and said, ”Inseparable?”
Dash also laughed and said, ”I was wondering why Jian'er's words seemed to be off. So it was this sentence.”
Jin Jian said embarrassedly, ”This …”
”This is no joke. Jian, didn't I tell you before that the trouble of a man needs to be solved by a man himself? The meaning is that you must cut down the mess quickly and never bring trouble back home.”
Dash also realized the seriousness of the situation. He looked at Jin Jian and said, ”Tell Mistress, are you serious about that Lu Yi …”
Jin Jian looked at the two of them and said, ”Master, Mistress, Lu Yi is not a problem. She said that she will go against her father's wishes for my sake. She really isn't too trouble.”
Upon hearing this, Jidao Gen said, ”This is bad!”
”What a bad fate!”
Jin Jian said, ”Master, mistress, you don't have this kind of look in your eyes, do you? Neither Young Master Ying Kong nor Senior He Lan Wuque have this kind of look …”
”That's because they're on different sides from us, and they don't understand the situation!”
King Zigong stopped Dash and said to Jin Jian, ”Jian, you go down first and think about this problem. ”Give me some time and your mistress some time to digest the information you have provided.”
Jin Jian promised and left.
Ji Duo Gen glanced at Dashi and said, ”If I hadn't stopped you, would you have revealed the matter of Jian'er's poisoning?”
”I wasn't afraid that he would actually be together with that little girl,” she said.
”Then we should think about it carefully. Since Jian'er's poisoning is already something that cannot be changed, forcing him to reject our feelings is the best choice. In the end, it's better that he dies. It's better that he has a happy and unrepentant marriage.”
Dishi snorted and said, ”Also, it's a happy and happy marriage. The Ice Origin Race and the Blood Family will never be blessed by others no matter where they go.”
Prince Jidao looked at her and said, ”Just look at you. That's all you know.”
Dishi said, ”What, do you think of Princess Pearl again, and think it's a loss to you if you marry me?”
”Look at you,” said Judong. ”Where are they?”
Dishi stood up and said, ”If you want to think about it, then slowly think about it. I'm not here to be with you.”
Prince Jidong said, ”You women are great. Think when you see a problem and throw it to a man when you don't want to think. Sigh, I really regret being born a male!”
”The older you get, the more contemptible you become!” He turned around and walked out.
Outside, he saw Ying Ying supporting his head with one hand and sitting on the table, so he asked: ”Ying Ying, where have your senior brothers gone?”
Ying Yang pursed his lips and said: ”Everyone is surrounding Little Scissor and listening to the story.”
Dishi Cha's heart trembled, and said: ”Listen, Ying Qi, you should also watch your junior brother Jin Jian closely. If you really can't do it, lock him in his room, and don't let him out again.”
Ying Qi asked, ”Why?”
Daisy said: ”Why else? If you don't look after him well, he will be the son-in-law of Strigoi!”
Ying Yang opened his mouth wide: ”Ah!”
Dishi said, ”Right, has Jian'er told you anything about your eldest senior brother?”
Ying Yang said, ”No, he didn't report to you?”
”Maybe it's because they were harassed by the mayfly tribe and couldn't find it.”
Ying Yang said, ”Hmph, lock him up and interrogate him properly!”
Daisy smiled and went out.
Ying Boye rested his chin on his hand, and hatefully scolded Jin Jian in his heart: ”That scoundrel!”
