Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 272 Why escape?

Mu Huayan smiled and gently stroked its little head, then jumped onto her shoulder and spoke to her.

It turned out that it was taking a nap at that time, which gave the enemy a chance to sneak in. However, the archer was wearing a mask and his face could not be seen at all.

There was nothing unusual about Xiaoyao Mansion. It was just the residence of the fat eunuch Qushi. Only his servants came and went on weekdays.

The fat man was quite leisurely, sitting in the yard basking in the sun and enjoying the massage and care of the beauty.

This is strange. Could it be that Mu Huayan is really worrying too much?

At this time, the An Marquis Mansion next door, also known as the Tianwen Marquis Mansion, was deserted, and Su Jing stayed at home drunk all day long. People passing by were all talking about it, and some were gossiping.

"It's such a pity for the daughter of Tianwen Marquis Mansion. She passed away at such a young age."

"I heard that he was also willing to die for love, alas."

"It's not that simple..."

Before Mu Huayan and the others could think about how to continue investigating the Blood Demon Sect, Han Qixi and the others sent a message saying that a lot of monsters had emerged from an entrance to the demon world.

But they still couldn't break through the formation they set up, and several demon kings took advantage of the chaos to escape.

They also found out that the reason why there are still monsters out of control in the Yuanjie is because they are all hidden by Huan Wuyun, the leader of the Huanliu Yuanzong, and the hiding place happens to be in the Huanliu Yuanzong.

Some monsters were locked in a tower of Xinghan Tianzong, and the destruction of Xinghan Tianzong loosened their seals, giving them time and space to practice.

Xin Ce said that this was impossible, but considering Huan Wuyun's personality and the fact that he had been imprisoned for nearly fifty years, it was no wonder that he didn't know what happened in the sect.

The little fox was catching a butterfly outside the yard and jumping around. Suddenly, it stopped and looked like it was thinking seriously.

It quickly ran towards where Mu Huayan was and climbed onto her shoulders along the corner of her clothes, and whispered something in her ear.

It said that it noticed something strange when it was standing guard in Xiaoyao Pavilion. For some reason, every time it opened its eyes, it saw the same scene as in Xiaoyao Mansion.

It still vaguely remembered that when it was taking a nap on the roof, one of its claws reached into Xiaoyao Mansion. It seemed that the claw was burning and stung. Just when it opened its eyes slightly, it was shot by a sharp arrow in the hind leg.

"It should be the sun and the sharp thorns of the branches, right?" Mu Qing said.

It shook its head. It was raining at the time, and foxes usually chose clean and safe habitats.

Suddenly, Mu Huayan recalled the fat man she had seen when she went to search Guanlan Courtyard, that is, Eunuch Qushi. But even so, how should she start the investigation?

As the matter could not be investigated further for the time being, Bingyun and Tang Qingmian returned to the sect to take over other tasks, while Baiyu and Bai Qige also went to other places to carry out tasks.

A few days later, Mu Huayan wanted to find an opportunity to investigate Xiaoyao Mansion, but when she was about to take action, a guard led people to Kelan Residence. Before they entered, they started to talk about arresting people.

"We are here to arrest the wanted criminal on the orders of Eunuch Qushi. All of you, get out of my way!"

The gossipers standing in the aisle made way for them. At this time, Xin Ce brought back the news that the Marquis Su Jing of the An Marquis Mansion next door was murdered yesterday.

"!!!"

"Senior Sister, they are not coming for us, are they?" Mu Qing said while listening to the voices outside the door.

After they finished speaking, they held three pictures in their hands and were questioning the shopkeeper of Kelanju. He looked at the three pictures and indeed saw these three people there. "They are in the private room on the third floor..."

Mu Huayan and the others used their spiritual senses to see three pictures. Aren't these pictures of the three of them? But the strange thing is that Su Jingren was fine a few days ago, how could he be killed suddenly?

They also sensed that the Anhou Mansion had been sealed off, and many people were watching and talking about it.

"Sister, shall we escape?"

Mu Qing's heart was beating fast as he heard the footsteps approaching. Unexpectedly, Mu Huayan sat down to eat the fairy fruit and said calmly, "Why are you running away? We didn't kill the person."

Xin Ce didn't care and was leisurely sipping tea. Mu Qing was a little stunned, but after a moment, he also sat down and ate the fairy fruit like Mu Huayan.

At this moment, the footsteps downstairs suddenly stopped, and the leading guard saluted and said, "I greet Master Tang!"

"How is it? Have you found the criminal?"

"It's in the private room on the third floor."

"Why does this person's voice sound so familiar..." Mu Huayan and the others murmured in their hearts.

Then there was a sharp sound of breaking the door. The door of the room they were in was kicked roughly by the guard. The aura that leaked out was just that of a cultivator in the Golden Immortal Realm.

"Which thief broke into my room?" Mu Huayan walked out from the inner room and asked.

The captain of the guards ignored his words and ordered the soldiers behind him to step forward and take him down, but they were all strangled and unable to move.

"Are you officials so ignorant of etiquette?"

As soon as the words fell, the swords in the hands of the soldiers fell to the ground. They were just low-level monks in the Blue Soul Realm.

The chief guard came forward and took out three pictures and said, "Yesterday, Lord Su Jing of Anhou Mansion was murdered, and someone reported that they saw the three of you coming out of Anhou Mansion."

"They are all cultivators. They can deceive the public with some tricks." Mu Huayan said.

Then Xin Ce and Mu Qing came out from the side room. Mu Qing sighed: "It's so lively so early in the morning?"

"Please come with us and we will explain once we get there!" said the captain of the guards.

Unexpectedly, Mu Huayan ignored them and walked straight out of the door. The soldiers' restraints were also released. The chief guard ordered them to stop Mu Huayan and the other two, "Stop!"

"Go back and tell Eunuch Qu Shi that if I want to kill Su Jing alone, it is enough. Why do I need three people to come together?"

"Besides, why would I kill him? What would I want?"

After she finished speaking, she released a bit of her own pressure, and the soldiers immediately trembled and fell to the ground. Even the captain of the guards had to hold on to the door frame to barely withstand the pressure.

In this way, he had no reason to continue chasing Mu Huayan, because what she said did make sense, but he suddenly remembered that this order was given by Eunuch Qushi.

How would we report to the authorities if we don't capture them?

He stubbornly led his men to chase after the three of them and surrounded them. Mu Huayan shook her head slightly and sighed, "A bunch of idiots!"

Mu Huayan just made a slight move, and all the people were lifted up into the air. The chief guard was punched several times by Mu Qing.

When they left, the soldiers were thrown out and had many wounds on their bodies.

Tang Xuanze, who was hiding in the dark, raised his lips slightly, and after a moment, he gradually retreated from this place.

"This further proves that Eunuch Qu Shi is a suspect."

"We can't make any hasty conclusions before the truth is revealed." Mu Huayan replied to Mu Qing.

"Oh, then where are we going now, Senior Sister?"

"Just eat, drink and hang out in this county, and someone will come to you when the time comes."

Mu Qing understood what she meant and nodded. It was noon and the sun was blazing hot.

The chief guard reported the matter to Eunuch Qu Shi. He did not vent his anger on them, but went to ask Tang Xuanze for accountability. However, Tang Xuanze did not care at all and said, "I can't afford to offend the three people you mentioned. Please find someone else."

After saying this, he left the room without even looking back. Eunuch Qu Shi was so angry that he picked up a few valuable items and threw them on the ground.

Then he drew out the captain of the guards' sword and started slashing randomly. He just didn't believe that no one could deal with Mu Huayan and the others.

"If Su Jing hadn't died and couldn't speak to identify the murderer, my eunuch Qu Shi wouldn't be in such a mess. Bring me paper and pen!"

He kept cursing and his fat body moved up and down with the movements of his hands.

After writing a letter, he handed it to a monk with high cultivation. After writing it, he kept talking, and the guards around him kept nodding and bowing.

In fact, Tang Xuanze sneaked into the Anhou Mansion alone to investigate the cause of Su Jing's death, but he also learned that the daughter of the Anhou Mansion, Su Yu, had died some time ago. He couldn't help feeling sad. After all, he had some connections with Su Yu.

At this time, he received a secret message and gave up the investigation. When he was about to leave the room, he found red mucus under a tree.

"This breath is a demon! Could it be that Su Jing's murder was related to the demon? Or was he simply killed by the demon..."

But just one drop of slime was not enough to determine the level of the monster. When he took out a bottle to fill with slime and was about to leave, the door was smashed to pieces with a clang.

The four people guarding the gate were also blown away by the force. A patrolman passing by heard the noise and followed the sound to find the place.

"Mr. Tang, why are you here?" The captain of the guards was puzzled.

He thought to himself that he was doomed and would not be treated as a criminal. He calmly replied: "I happened to hear some noise when I was passing by. Look here, there is demon slime."
