Chapter 1131 Death of the Nine Elders!
In the Qizhen Building of the Yun family.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Bo wanted to go back with Murong Qianyi.
Yun Hao politely tried to keep him, but Xia Bo insisted on going back, so Yun Hao was about to send the two out.
At this moment, a little girl ran in outside the door, and there were several guards chasing her behind her.
"Sister Murong, you are here too!" The clothes on this little girl were also embroidered with the unique curly cloud patterns of the Yun family. When she saw Murong Qianyi and the others walking out, she immediately smiled and said with a smile.
"Ling'er, why did you come here today?" Murong Qianyi said with a smile, as if she likes this little girl named Ling'er very much.
"This is Yun Ling'er, a lady from the Yun family. She is a few years younger than me. We have been playing since we were young and we can talk about everything." At the same time, Murong Qianyi did not forget to send a voice to Xia Bo, who was confused and said: "But she is not in good health and rarely goes out. I didn't expect to meet her here today."
"So that's it!" Xia Bo nodded, and saw that Yun Ling'er had just run a few steps and was already standing there panting. It seemed that the little girl's body was indeed not very good. She said in her heart: "I don't know if there is a way to cure it. If she had been like this all her life, how painful would it be?"
Yun Ling'er was very happy to see Murong Qianyi. The two of them stood and chatted for a long time.
"Sister Qianyi, who is this brother? Is he your friend?" Seeing Xia Bo standing aside silently, Yun Ling'er asked Murong Qianyi curiously.
"Yes, he is my good friend!" Murong Qianyi nodded and said.
Xia Bo didn't know how to get in touch with such a little girl, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Fortunately, Xia Bo encountered many strange things, so he casually said a few interesting things.
Gradually, Yun Ling'er, who rarely left the house, was stunned.
"Miss, why are you here?" Yun Hao walked over quickly, wanting to ask why Yun Ling'er came here.
Yun Ling'er was just excited when she heard this, she ignored Yun Hao.
"Brother Hao, I'm listening to Brother Xia Bo telling stories. Why do you keep interrupting?" Yun Hao asked a few more questions. Yun Ling'er was annoyed by the question, so she turned to Yun Hao and said.
"Miss, don't I care about you?" Yun Hao said with a smile and laughed and crying, "I'm afraid you've come here because you have something to do, so I thought about asking you and see if there is anything I can help."
"I came here because I was bored at home, and there was nothing important." Yun Ling'er waved her hand heroically and signaled that she was very good, so she didn't need Yun Hao's help.
"Brother Xia Bo is a very interesting person. I decided that from today on, he will be my good friend!" Suddenly, Yun Ling'er thought of something and said to Yun Hao: "Brother Hao, go pick something and give it to Brother Xia Bo, just treat it as my meeting gift!"
"Okay, Miss!" Yun Hao nodded and ran in to pick up gifts.
"Ling'er, I don't need to be so polite." Xia Bo said.
"That's not possible! As my good friend, isn't it okay for me to give you some meeting gifts?" Yun Ling'er said seriously: "This Qizhen Building is opened by our family. Just take whatever you like, don't be polite to me!"
"I'm not polite to you, but I really don't need it." Xia Bo said: "I know your kindness. As for the gift, let's forget it!"
Soon, Yun Hao walked back with a pallet. There were a lot of strange ores and materials on it, and even several magic weapons that had been formed.
"You must choose something to bring with you today, otherwise I will never end up with you!" Yun Ling'er pointed to the tray and said to Xia Bo.
"Brother Xia, this is the wish of our eldest lady. Just take a few things at your fingertips." Yun Hao also said.
"Okay, I'll just pick two of them!" Faced with Yun Ling'er's passion, Xia Bo could only smile bitterly and shook his head. He chose two things that he should be able to use, but not very valuable.
"Ling'er, we have taken this thing too. It's almost dark. Xia Bode and I are back." Seeing that the time is almost right, Murong Qianyi said to Yun Ling'er: "You go home early too, don't worry everyone too much!"
"Okay." Yun Ling'er nodded obediently and said, "Sister Qianyi, remember to come and play with me when you look back!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely go find you!" Murong Qianyi agreed, then walked out of Qizhen Tower with Xia Bo and slowly walked towards the Murong family's mansion.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you running in such a hurry?" As soon as you returned to the Murong family's mansion, you heard the noise from the upper and lower parts. This made Murong Qianyi a little surprised and called a guard over and asked.
"Miss, it's not good, Elder Ninth is dead!" The guard gasped and stammered.
"What? Grandpa Ninth is dead?" Murong Qianyi was shocked. The Ninth Elder was the younger brother of the Fourth Elder. The ninth elder among the older generation, that is, her Ninth Grandpa Ninth: "When is this happening, why don't I know?"
Although the ninth elder's cultivation is not as good as the fourth elder, he is also a strong man in the area. How could he die for no reason?
Before leaving the house in the morning, Murong Qianyi did not receive such news. It should have happened that she had just had a child.
It seems that the entire Murong family is about to change.
Murong Qianyi didn't have time to think about anything more, so she pulled Xia Bo and walked towards the main hall.
"Qianyi, although it is a big deal for the death of this Ninth Elder, I am an outsider after all!" Xia Bo said. He didn't expect to be driven out by the Murong family at that time: "It's probably inconvenient for you to take me there?"
Murong Qianyi didn't think so. She believed that the murder of the Ninth Elder today should be related to the incident where Murong Shu was surrounded and killed a few days ago. Xia Bo happened to be an insider of that matter. Now that I'm going to go there, I might think of something else.
Murong Qianyi told Xia Bo about her thoughts while walking, and Xia Bo could only nod and agreed.
Afterwards, Murong Qianyi took Xia Bo to the hall quickly.
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was very solemn, and almost all the important people in the mansion had arrived.
In the middle of the hall, Elder Ninth was lying on the body of Elder Ninth, and something seemed to be pierced by his chest, leaving a wound as big as a bowl.
"Head of the family, dad, all grandpas and uncles!" As soon as he entered the hall gate, Murong Qianyi greeted everyone.
Among these senior figures of the Murong family, Xia Bo only knew the four elders, so he followed Murong Qianyi and bowed to him, which was considered a greeting.
Then, Xia Bo stood in the corner without saying a word, staring at the body of the Ninth Elder in a daze.
"Qianyi is here." Murong Ran, the head of the Murong family, nodded, pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "The Ninth Elder must have been dead for only half a day. You can take a look, maybe you can find something."
"Okay!" Such a big thing happened in the family. As the person with the strongest cultivation among the young people of the Murong family in their lifetime, Murong Qianyi is naturally qualified to participate. Sometimes her opinions are even more effective than those elders.
"Grandpa Jiu was killed by the blow on his chest. There were no other scars on his body, nor any signs of fighting with anyone." Murong Qianyi walked up to look at the wounds of Elder Ninth, and then carefully examined the entire body of Elder Ninth, sighing helplessly: "With his cultivation, shouldn't it be like this?"
"Our opinion is similar to yours! The most important thing is that the body of the Ninth Elder was seen on a street corner not far from our house!" Murong Qianyi's father Murong Jia nodded and said, "The person who killed him was either too high in cultivation, so he had no room to fight back at all, but his cultivation was two points stronger than me. In the entire Yancheng, there would definitely be no more than ten people who could have such cultivation!"
"Second, you are right. If a person with that kind of cultivation level wants to kill the Ninth Elder, he will not spend so much effort. Just take action!" Murong Ran nodded and said, "There is only one possibility left. The person who killed the Ninth Elder is someone he knows, or even someone he is familiar with, without any defense, and he is killed with one blow!"
Suddenly, the entire hall seemed to be in an uproar.
Everyone present discussed it, as if they were expressing their opinions:
"It doesn't take our Murong family seriously if you do such a vicious thing!"
"Who is the murderer?"
"Don't let me catch those people, otherwise I will have to tear them into pieces!"
"The most important thing to help the Ninth Elder avenge is to find out who the murderer is!"
"If the murderer can do such a thing once, maybe he can do it a second time, so we have to be careful!"
......
"Yu Bing, do you think the body of the ninth elder is a little strange?" Xia Bo also had some of his own opinions, but he was not convenient for him to speak, so he asked Yu Bing: "I always feel something is wrong, but what is wrong, and I can't say it for a while. This feeling is really bad."
"Haha, if you have such a feeling, it means that your vision has indeed improved a lot." Yu Bing chuckled: "Didn't you notice that the entire Murong family members have read it several times but haven't seen any clues?"
"You humans feel that they are not as sensitive as our divine beasts. Actually, I have already discovered something is wrong. What methods did this ninth elder use to kill the breasts? " Yu Bing continued to explain: "But look at his clothes. There is only a thin circle of blood spreading around the wound. Ordinary people are taking out a big hole in their chest and blood has already flowed into a river. How could it be so weird?"
"Yes, it turns out that there is too little blood coming out of him!" Xia Bo suddenly realized.
"Isn't that right? The murderer can cause such a big wound. It is obvious that Elder Nine is going to kill Elder Nine. He can't even think about helping Elder Nine stop bleeding after succeeding in one blow, right?" However, Xia Bo suddenly felt something was wrong: "If Elder Nine had the ability to stop bleeding, he wouldn't have died. This matter is really problematic."
"Isn't it obvious? Someone wanted to ask something from his mouth before he died after killing someone, so he didn't want him to die so quickly." Yu Bing smiled slightly and said, "I think only this explanation can make sense."
"It makes sense. You probably guess the truth is absolutely right." Xia Bo nodded and agreed: "It seems that there are really many secrets hidden in the Murong family."
"Qianyi, who is this boy by your side? We are discussing family affairs now. Why did you bring an outsider in?" Murong Hu decided to embarrass Xia Bo, so he pretended to be careless and walked to Murong Qianyi's vicinity, then pointed at Xia Bo and said in a very surprised tone: "If he was a spy sent by the enemy, all the things we discussed must be leaked!"
"Are there any outsiders here?" Everyone who was still discussing suddenly became quiet and looked behind Murong Qianyi and saw Xia Bo.
Except for Murong Qingyun, Murong Shu, the heads of the family Murong Ran, Murong Jia and others, the rest of the people had no impression of Xia Bo, only knowing that he was not a child of the Murong family.
Just now when Murong Qianyi came in, everyone's eyes were focused on the body of the Ninth Elder, and Xia Bo had not spoken. They subconsciously thought Xia Bo was a junior in the family and didn't care too much.
Now, they realized that Xia Bo was an outsider!
"Honor, elders, this guest is the brother Xia Bo who saved me some time ago." Seeing a few irritable elders wanting to question, Murong Shu took a step forward and pointed at Xia Bo and said, "Speaking of this, he is still the benefactor of our Murong family. I don't believe he will be a spy, otherwise, he doesn't need to save me, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone started to talk:
"Well, that's the reason."
"It seems that this kid is not an enemy."
"Xiaoshu said it well. Xia Bo is still our benefactor!"
"Yes, it's okay to let him listen."
"Maybe as an outsider, he might have made some amazing discoveries!"
......
"Elders, even if Xia Bo is the benefactor who saved Xiaoshu's life, this does not mean that he is a good person!" Seeing that his plan was disturbed by Murong Shu, Murong Hu suddenly became anxious, glared at Murong Shu fiercely, and then hurriedly said: "Maybe he was using this name to enter our family! Moreover, this is our internal discussion, I think it's better to drive him out!"
Murong Ran and Murong Jia, the head of the family, looked at each other, and then they shook their heads at the same time. If Murong Hu hadn't been his son and he had the identity of the young master of the Murong family, Murong Ran would have driven him out long ago.
After all, what Murong Hu said was inconsistent and had no logic at all, and it was simply embarrassing.
"Little brother, I'll make you laugh. Oh, the three direct descendants of our family are only three of them. Xiaoshu is naturally indifferent and honest. Murong Hu is a slutty boy who doesn't do things. To put it bluntly, he is stupid." The fourth elder Murong Qingyun sneered and sent a voice to Xia Bo: "Only Qianyi has extraordinary features. Unfortunately, Qianyi is a daughter. Otherwise, I would have the idea of letting her be the head of the family. If I hand over the family foundation to Murong Hu, I'm afraid I can't live with their generation!"
As an outsider, Xia Bo did not express any opinions to the disciples of their Murong family, especially the direct disciples at the young master level, so he just smiled at Murong Qingyun and said that he understood.
