Chapter 0406 – Cold Snow’s Temptation – Absolute Return

Jian Wuji could feel the Drunken Devil’s determination.

He had already made up his mind to kill all the people involved in this matter.

Since the Drunken Demon had already made a decision, then Jian Wuji would not interfere, nor could he. Because this was the decision of the Demon Lord.

Jian Wuji looked at Li An, only to see her looking at Drunken Devil with an excited face, obviously also sensing Drunken Devil’s determination. The Drunken Devil was not drunk, so his determination was even more terrifying.

Jian Wuji looked at Cold Snow again and said in his heart, “Did you feel it?”

Cold Snow naturally felt the Drunken Demon’s emotions, but she couldn’t understand them.

“Why is he so obsessed?”

In her opinion, the relationship between the Drunken Demon and the former Palace Master was not as good as this. They only occasionally exchanged letters and gave each other beautiful drunkenness, that was all.

People could deceive each other even when they were face to face, let alone the fact that they had never met, what was it that made the Drunken Devil care so much about the death of the former Palace Master?

However, there was one thing that Cold Snow could understand.

“The death of the former Palace Master is indeed suspicious.” Cold Snow said.

“Please also ask the Ice Palace to fully cooperate with us in investigating this matter.” Jian Wuji said.

“What does the Young Prelate want us to do?”

Jian Wuji turned his head to look at Drunken Devil, he knew that this matter, could only be left to Drunken Devil to handle.

However, the Drunken Demon shook his head and said, “It’s better for the Young Sect Master to decide, you’re smarter than me.”

“Didn’t you just reason it out?”

“That’s because I know her.”

The drunken devil’s cleverness lies in the fact that he knows how to judge the situation and knows when to advance and when to retreat.

He looked at Jian Wuji with trust in his eyes, “Help me find those people.”

Jian Wuji also responded with a look, “I definitely will.”

“I only have one request.” Jian Wuji said to Cold Snow, “Any other help, we don’t need.”

Cold Snow was curious in her heart, what was the request that made Jian Wuji so solemn?

“Please, Young Palace Master, join our investigation team.”

Cold Snow froze at the words.

“The four of us are investigating this together.”

Drunken Devil and Li An were both surprised.

If Cold Snow joined their team, then they could save themselves a lot of trouble. After all, Cold Snow was the Ice Palace’s Young Palace Master and could mobilize the Ice Palace’s resources to help them with their investigation.

It was a devilish temptation, “What do you want?” “I want everything you have.”

Moreover, Jian Wuji had another purpose, which was to protect Cold Snow. He knew that the Blood King would most likely lay his hands on Cold Snow.

“Is the Young Sect Master serious about this?” Cold Snow asked.

“Of course it’s true.”

Coldsnow was tempted to refuse, as she was not naturally inclined to socialize with people.

But she didn’t reject it in the end because she also suspected that the former Palace Master didn’t commit suicide. If it was really a murder, then for the sake of the Ice Palace, she had to find the murderer as well.

“Am I not helping you now?”

“You’re just watching now, not really participating.”

Cold Snow was speechless.

Indeed, she had only agreed to Jian Wuji’s conditions before to test him, not genuinely wanting to help him.

“Work with them?”

Cold Snow looked at Jian Wu Ji’s trio with mixed feelings in her heart.

That’s a strange combination, those three.

The woman who was as beautiful as the sky had traveled thousands of miles to the North Sea for the husband of a peasant woman she had met in passing.

The drunken demon who claimed to be abstaining from drunkenness was going on a killing spree for a woman who occasionally corresponded with him by letter.

The young master of the Demon Sect, who was known as “extraordinary”, even invited her to join their team.

Cold Snow shook her head, indicating that she couldn’t understand. But she finally made a decision.

“Okay, I promise you. However, I do have one condition.”

“Go ahead.”

“You can’t hide anything from me during the investigation.”

“Okay, I promise you. But you must also promise me that no matter what you hear, you will not run away or complain.”

With that, Cold Snow joined the investigation team. But the challenges she was about to face had only just begun.

“Since that’s the case, you’ll move into Li An’s room, and the two of you will live together.” Jian Wuji said.

“Move into her room?” Coldsnow asked in surprise.

“What? We’re teammates now, of course we have to eat and live together.”

Eat and live together? Cold Snow instantly regretted agreeing to Jian Wuji’s request. She had never shared a room with anyone before.

“I’m sorry that I didn’t discuss this with you beforehand.” Jian Wuji said to Li An.

“It’s okay, I don’t care.” Liam said with a smile.

“Young Palace Master, please fulfill your request.” Li An said to Cold Snow.

“I also have something very important to do, so please make it easy for the Young Palace Master.” Drunken Devil also said.

Although Cold Snow was reluctant in her heart, she eventually agreed.

“Okay, I promise.”

The reason she agreed was not because of Li An and the Drunken Demon, but because she already saw Jian Wuji as an opponent. She wanted to prove that Jian Wuji was just a liar who liked to play with people’s hearts.

“What do we do now?”

Not only Cold Snow, even the Drunken Devil and Li An felt a bit confused.

What should they investigate next? Continue questioning the people involved? Or consult the Ice Palace’s files?

It was good that Jian Wuji already had a direction.

“We should think about one question: why the former Palace Master? With so many people in the Ice Palace, why was she the one who was murdered?”

Jian Wuji turned his gaze to Drunken Demon and said, “I believe that Big Brother Drunken Demon already knows the answer.”

The gazes of the two women also looked at the Drunken Demon in unison.

“I know the answer?” The Drunken Demon looked bewildered, as if he had been wrongly accused.

“That’s right, you know.” Jian Wuji said in a firm tone.

“I don’t know!”

“No, you know.”

The reason why Jian Wuji was so certain was because he already had an answer in his mind.

“The former Palace Master didn’t have any enemies in White Drunken Snow, and her martial arts skills weren’t very high, not to mention that she didn’t hold any secrets. So why was she killed?”

The reason why Jian Wuji said that the Drunken Demon knew the answer was because of his last sentence.

“Her death must have something to do with being drunk.”

The carriage drove into the Northern Blood Gate, and Yang Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’m finally home.”

The carriage drove straight to a large hall deep within the inner courtyard, before stopping.

Yang Zhong got out of the carriage and realized that his father did not ride in the same carriage with him.

“Father must be angry.”

Yang Zhong understood his father’s feelings. In his father’s mind, the interests of the Northern Blood Sect were above all else. This time, the Northern Blood Sect suffered heavy losses, so his father would naturally take his anger out on him.

However, after returning home, Yang Zhong’s resentment toward his father gradually dissipated.

Although his father refused the Demon Cult’s request for a hostage exchange, he eventually reached an agreement with the Ice Palace to save him.

“As long as I’m alive, that’s enough.”

Yang Zhong came to the main hall and found his father sitting alone, and the disciples who usually guarded around the hall were nowhere to be seen.

“Father must want to chastise me alone.”

Yang Zhong said in his heart that his father did not want to damage his face in front of everyone.

“Father.”

Yang Shen turned his back to Yang Zhong and looked out the window without saying a word.

Yang Zhong gathered his courage and said, “I didn’t expect the Devil Sect to intervene in this matter.”
