Bai Yixuan did not like Li Xuenan, but she had never truly thought of killing her, and in the end, he did not have any deep grudges against her. Li Xuenan's face was still vivid and lifelike, the smile on her face still looked somewhat peaceful.

”Bai Bai, I know you are a good person, although this Li Xuenan is really annoying, but I am also sad that she really died, so we can only work hard to find the culprit.”

Chang Zigeng quickly nodded, ”That's right, Yi Xuan, don't be too sad. Right now, isn't this obviously killing the people participating in the beauty contest?

Qiu Wenwen took a glance at Bai Yixuan and knew that Bai Yixuan was not telling the truth, but Qiu Wenwen did not know her intentions, so she did not say much. Bai Yixuan only smiled at them, ”Where is macrosoman?”

Zhang Xian has lost a lot of weight because of this matter recently. Who would have thought that it would still be one case after another?

Bai Yixuan didn't say anything and directly went out to look for Zhang Xian. Qiu Wenwen knew that Bai Yixuan wanted to talk about some matters regarding the case with him, so she stopped her from following him.

Zhang Xian was still in the lobby. Bai Yixuan walked in front of Zhang Xian and asked, ”Has Master found the link between these people?”

Zhang Xian nodded, ”If no such thing happens today, I will immediately look for you!”

”What is it!”

Zhang Xian answered, ”These dead girls are exactly seventeen years old, and they all participated in a sacrificial ceremony five years ago!”

”What sacrifice?” Bai Yixuan could not understand.

”It is a rather terrifying tradition. Because this place is surrounded by mountains, there are people who are often lost in the mountains, eaten by wild beasts, or mysteriously disappeared. Then, there are some people who are said to have gone missing because there is a mountain god protecting them, so they must give them gifts to stop all this!”

Bai Yixuan felt that this was unbelievable, and wanted to laugh, ”So I have to give this woman to the mountain god?”

Zhang Xian shook his head, ”At first, there wasn't, the person who suggested this was just trying to set up some offerings, but it was useless, only until one day when this person's daughter went to change her offerings did she disappear, when everyone thought that this girl disappeared because of the Mountain God's rage, there were no longer any missing people in the mountain, and there were even fewer wild beasts, so after that, this place would contribute to the mountain every year. The last time was five years ago, because it caused the death of the daughter of a high ranking official in the imperial city, so the system was abolished!”

”They all did?”

Zhang Xian nodded his head, ”It was Liu Tan's father who recognized Hu Xiaohui and remembered that he played with this person before. Back then, the girls did not understand or know the true meaning of sacrifice, and the girls all lived on that mountain until one of them went missing and the rest could go down the mountain!”

”Who was that dead person and why did he appear in the capital?”

Zhang Xian replied, ”That year, the daughter of a high official secretly ran out, but who would have thought that she would be captured by a family and die on the mountain! There wasn't just one person who died that year. ”

”Who else?”

”Other than that official's daughter, Chen Shuyuan, there is also a woman who is living on the mountain. As for her name, no one knows.”

”Isn't it impossible to live on that mountain?”

Zhang Xian shook his head, ”I don't know, but because no one has seen the mountain, the people who live here shouldn't be too strange. It is said that there are three sisters living on the mountain, as for what happened, I'm not too sure either.”

”Then how does the lord know these things?”

”Do you still remember that He Xiao who fought together with Li Xuenan?”

”I remember.”

”Just before Li Xuenan died, she came to find me.”

”I want to see her!”

When Bai Yixuan saw He Xiao, it was already late at night. Zhang Xian went to He Xiao's house with her, but Bai Yixuan did not expect his to be the only one in He Xiao's house.

He Xiao didn't seem to be too surprised by Bai Yixuan and her, she only stared at Bai Yixuan's face and said, ”You're the one participating in the tournament, right?

Bai Yixuan didn't have time to be happy about this matter, she could only ask, ”We still have something to ask you!”
