546 Reverend Misery Sea, Esteemed Monk (1/2)

”My son, Speechless Li, he is a kind boy, so why did you kill him?”

Tyger Li's tone was calm and his eyes looked indifferent. It was as if he had used the tone of asking ”what instant noodles did you eat today”. He had asked a stunning and explosive question.

Shi Xiaobai was immediately dumbfounded.

Mu Lengxi looked up in disbelief at Tyger Li. Instantly, her expression turned extremely pale.

How was it possible?

How did he guess that her brother was killed by Brother Xiaobai?

I clearly did not say a thing nor did I leak out anything?

How did he know?

No, he definitely could not know!

He was guessing!

How did he guess?

Could it be that he was certain that I was protecting the murderer and because Brother Xiaobai is very close to me and he possesses extremely great strength that surpasses Brother Speechless, he was able to determine that Brother Xiaobai is the murderer?

How can that happen?

No, it's him. It's that man. Those few points were enough. This traces of clues had made him infer something that he believes is the truth. Then, he would resolutely believe in his judgment!

He was already certain that Brother Xiaobai is the murderer.

And the reason he would ask this question is for...

Verification?

Oh no!

Mu Lengxi's thoughts raced as she thought of the crux of the matter. She hurriedly reached out her hand to hold on to Shi Xiaobai. The reason Tyger Li had asked the question was not only to verify the truth, he was also trying to hoax Shi Xiaobai into confessing!

However, it was too late by the time Mu Lengxi thought it through. Shi Xiaobai had no idea that Mu Lengxi, Sunless, and company had the intention of hiding this matter to the world. He never expected that Mu Lengxi was trying her best to hide this matter from him and Speechless's father. When he heard Tyger Li's question, he believed that Tyger Li already knew the truth and was already beginning to question him.

Shi Xiaobai was already feeling guilt-ridden because of the matter. Furthermore, he was not a person who avoided questioning. Hence, he quickly shook his head and answered, ”Sorry, This King does not know why because This King had no intentions of killing him.”

Mu Lengxi's face was drained of its color. She knew that the matter could not be concealed any longer. Tyger Li had used his ruthless judgment and sinister hoax to obtain the truth.

Tyger Li's eyes flashed a cold killing intent but his eyes remained calm. He said coldly, ”You do not know why? But you were still the one who killed him.”

Shi Xiaobai sighed and did not know how to explain. Although it was unintentional, he was still the one who had killed after losing all reason. How was it to be determined if he was considered a murderer?

Tyger Li said coldly, ”A life for a life. My son's death shall be paid with your life. Do you have any other thoughts on this matter?”

When Mu Lengxi heard that she hurriedly held Shi Xiaobai's hand and shook her head forcefully.

Shi Xiaobai turned his head to placate her with a gesture. Then, he looked at Tyger Li and said solemnly, ”Sorry, This King probably cannot pay with his life but This King would definitely try to make up for his mistakes so as to gain forgiveness for his sins.”

Shi Xiaobai faced the question head on and bravely shouldered the responsibility. However, he was not a pedant person. A living person could make up for his mistakes but nothing could be done if he committed suicide because of his guilt.

Furthermore, he had a nasty impression of Tyger Li. Perhaps, he could overlook the thoughts of enmity because he was Speechless and Mu Lengxi's father but it was impossible for him to give up his life because of his speech.

In other words, Tyger Li was not qualified.

Shi Xiaobai did not plan on explaining further. He only wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly and try his best to make up to Mu Lengxi and Speechless's mother, as well as anyone else, so as to redeem himself from his wrongdoing.

Tyger Li narrowed his eyes and said, ”A life for a life is an unalterable principle. This Emperor doesn't need any compensation, only your death.”

When Mu Lengxi heard that, she took a step forward to block Shi Xiaobai behind her. She glared furiously at Tyger Li.

Tyger Li said with a sneer, ”He killed your brother but here you are, protecting him and loving him. Do you not have any shame?”
