Chapter 1652 Hidden Murder (44)
The courtyard arranged for Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming was very remote, basically at the junction of the inner and outer courtyards.
At the same time, it seemed that no one had lived there for a long time, resulting in a thick layer of dust covering various places in the courtyard. A light touch would bring up dust all over the ground.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming were not surprised at all.
The fourth elder said lightly: "You came too suddenly, and we have a lot of things recently, so we didn't have time to clean this courtyard. Let's make do with it for now."
It seems that he knows how poisonous Xu Yeming's mouth is.
The fourth elder did not give the two a chance to interrupt, and then said: "Take a rest first, I will send someone to take you to visit Cangxuan College later, and you can also ask if you have any requests."
After speaking, the fourth elder glanced at Xu Yeming and left directly.
Looking at the ruins around him, Ye Qiubai smiled and said, "It seems that we are not welcome."
Xu Yeming released his spirit and swept away the dust in the courtyard, then pulled two damaged chairs over and sat down.
"Brother, did you notice that the eyes of the elder and the fourth elder looked at us a little strange?" Xu Yeming recalled the scene just now and pondered: "Especially when they looked at me..."
Ye Qiubai has a clear sword heart, so he is most sensitive to these obscure emotional fluctuations and eyes. He nodded and said, "It's a bit strange. Fortunately, the elder has no malice, but the fourth elder looked at you, brother Xu, with some suspicion and murderous intent..."
Xu Yeming frowned: "I have never seen these four elders."
Hearing this, Ye Qiubai smiled: "I think we have found who to start the investigation."
Xu Yeming was stunned, then nodded.
The purpose of their coming here is to investigate what happened in the year when Xu Canghai joined Cangxuan College.
Now it seems that the rumors are probably correct.
According to the time point, Xu Canghai, Xu Yeming's father, and Bai Qingxin, Xu Yeming's mother, were hunted down a few days before Xu Canghai left Cangxuan College.
As long as this rumor is correct, then something extraordinary must have happened to Xu Canghai in Cangxuan College.
Cangxuan College may also have played a role that cannot be seen in the light.
And... judging from the way the fourth elder looked at Xu Yeming, he might have doubted Xu Yeming's identity.
After all, Xu Yeming's surname is Xu, and as Xu Canghai's son, his blood aura is naturally the same.
It is not difficult to detect this when reaching the level of the fourth elder.
However, this was Xu Yeming's business, and Ye Qiubai did not intend to take over the main event, so he looked at Xu Yeming and asked, "Xu Junior Brother, what are you going to do?"
Xu Yeming thought for a while and said, "If it is really as I guessed, then we can only wait for the time being. After all, we are still in the other party's territory, and we can't openly investigate an elder-level figure."
Speaking of this, Xu Yeming smiled and said, "Besides, I think it won't be long before the fourth elder will make a move."
Ye Qiubai nodded.
Xu Yeming's idea coincided with his.
…
Just when the two were discussing the countermeasures, the news that Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming mocked Cangxuan Academy at the reception desk of the inner courtyard was spread by someone with ulterior motives.
Soon, both the students in the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard began to criticize Ye Qiubai and the others.
Some people even discussed going to Ye Qiubai and the others to learn from each other.
Luoshui Peak.
The most basic condition for students to live here is to be a direct disciple, and at the same time, they must be ranked in the top ten among the direct disciples to be able to live in Luoshui Peak.
In the cave at the highest point.
A man listened to the sound transmission of the jade pendant.
"Brother Ding Xuan, the two people from Qingxiao Academy are too arrogant. They dare to look down on our Cangxuan Academy! Don't you see how much difference there is between their Qingxiao Academy and our Cangxuan Academy."
Ding Xuan put the sound transmission jade pendant aside, supported his hand on the table, and tapped the table with his fingers to make a rhythmic "bang bang" sound.
"Qingxiao Academy... What are the names of the two people who came?"
The man thought for a while and said: "One is Ye Qiubai, and the other is Xu Yeming."
When he heard the three words Ye Qiubai, Ding Xuan's pupils shrank slightly.
"It's him..." After a while, Ding Xuan frowned slightly: "Why did you choose to come to Cang Xuan College at this time?"
A voice came from the jade pendant, "I don't know... But if Senior Brother Ding Xuan takes action, it will be able to hit their arrogance, right?"
Ding Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't need to take action."
Then he cut off the voice transmission in the jade pendant, looked at the candlelight in front of him and said faintly: "Someone will naturally take action... Besides, I don't have time to intervene in such things now."
After speaking, he turned the candlelight on the table slightly, and a secret door opened on the side.
As Ding Xuan walked in, the secret door closed automatically, and the existence of the secret door could not be seen with the naked eye...
...
The mansion of the fourth elder.
Yang Huan looked at the fourth elder with a cold and arrogant face, and said: "Master, why did the dean agree to let the people of Qingxiao College come to our college? How can they be qualified?"
The fourth elder shook his head and said: "This is not something you can guess, just practice well."
As he spoke, the fourth elder's eyes gradually became deep, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, Yang Huan did not interrupt.
Until the fourth elder spoke again, "When the time comes, find a reason to spar with Xu Yeming. Don't kill him. Just force him to use his full strength."
Yang Huan was slightly stunned, then nodded.
"Also, it seems that no one is willing to take the two people from Qingxiao College to tour the college, right?"
The fourth elder pondered for a while.
"It seems that Xuanyuan has some grievances with Ye Qiubai? That's great. Let's reveal the news to Xuanyuan. I think they will be happy to send someone over."
...
At this time.
In a bamboo forest with a waterfall, the elder sat cross-legged on a smooth stone, but he did not practice. Instead, he looked at the bamboo forest in front of him in a daze.
The picture in his mind flashed by like a horse-drawn tour.
Suddenly, he whispered: "After so many years, have we finally returned to Cangxuan Continent?"
"But...is it too aggressive to come back now? Moreover, the Xu family and Xuanyuan have become stronger now. If it is not handled properly, it may repeat what happened in the past."
Thinking of this,
The elder's face gradually became firm. He took a deep breath and stood up. He looked at the bamboo sea in front of him and said softly: "I couldn't help you back then. If the identity of that boy is confirmed, I will protect him in Cangxuan College...even if it costs my life."
Three days passed.
Although people kept shouting outside the courtyard where Ye Qiubai and the others were, no one took them to visit the college.
On this day, a man with a sword on his waist came here and said loudly: "Xuanyuan Che of the Xuanyuan family, entrusted by the college, came here to take the two people from Qingxiao College to visit the college!" (End of this chapter)
