Chapter 557.

Chai Xing’er revealed an innocent and bewildered smile, “What does Elder Xu mean by that?”

“How so?” Xu Qi’an smiled and asked rhetorically, “The black hand behind all of this, isn’t it you.”

Li Ling Su’s face changed slightly.

Pure Heart and the other monks, also looked over in surprise, including Pure Edge, who had woken up and was pale.

Chai Xing’er shook her head, “Senior, you’ve misunderstood me.”

The woman is worthy of the theater, her eyes tone, sincere and innocent, can not see the slightest heart.

You are pretending in front of Dafeng Xu Yinluo…….. Xu Qi’an let out a “heh”:

“Don’t deny it yet, hear me out.

“Over this period of time, I’ve been investigating Chai Jianyuan’s case quite deeply, let’s comb the case from the beginning, first of all, according to you, Chai Jianyuan was killed by Chai Xian in the study, the time was at night, and when you guys arrived, you saw that there were Chai Xian and Chai Jianyuan inside the house.

“And the latter is dead, right.”

Chai Xing’er nodded her head, “This is something that everyone in the Chai Mansion has witnessed for all to see, does senior think I’m lying?”

“Of course you’re not lying, what you saw was true, but not necessarily the truth.”

Xu Qi’an said, “Chai Jianyuan and Chai Xian are both fifth grade Harmonization Strengths, with excellent copper skin and iron bone defense, even if Chai Xian surprised him with a sneak attack, trying to kill Chai Jianyuan in a short period of time is simply impossible. However, by the time you guys arrived, Chai Jianyuan was already dead, and the Chai Mansion is that big.”

Li Lingsu’s eyes glowed slightly, remembering what Xu Qi’an had said, “It’s poisoning, Chai Jianyuan was poisoned beforehand.”

Pure Heart nodded slightly, recognizing Li Ling Su’s statement.

The other monks listened in silence.

Xu Qi’an continued, “For this reason, I deliberately sneaked into the cellar and dissected Chai Jianyuan’s corpse. It was found that he did show signs of poisoning.”

As he spoke, he walked to Chai Jianyuan’s side and tore open the shirt on his chest, revealing the stitched-up “wound” inside.

Chai Xing’er looked complicated for a moment and said, “I see, the person who sneaked into the cellar that night was you ……..”

After a pause, she said in a deep voice, “It seems that Chai Xian had premeditated and secretly poisoned Big Brother.”

The eyes of the crowd swirled around to Chai Xian in his skepticism, his head lowered, crumpling up something, completely unconcerned with the affairs around him.

Autistic ……..

“Amitabha.”

Pure Heart shook his head and recited the Buddha’s name in a low voice.

“No, the person who poisoned him was not Chai Xian, it was you, Chai Xing’er.” Xu Qi’an said aloud.

The crowd shifted their gazes in a huff and looked at Chai Xing’er.

Li Ling Su’s eyes widened.

Chaihyun’s broken thoughts stopped for a moment.

Chai Xing’er’s pretty face stiffened slightly, “Senior still doesn’t believe me?”

Xu Qi’an ignored it and spoke eloquently:

“Do you all remember why Chai Jianyuan didn’t tell Chai Xian about his birth? Simply because he was afraid that he would suffer a blow? Anyone who can cultivate to the fifth grade of Harmonization Strength is not a person with a tough mind. What’s a little shock?

“Initially, I didn’t think about it either, but when I saw Chai Xian’s Soul Departure Syndrome, I suddenly understood why Chai Jianyuan would hide his birth. This would only aggravate his condition and even have something bad happen. Like the ending we’re seeing now.”

The crowd was thoughtful.

Li Lingsu drifted off, then frowned and asked, “But what does this have to do with Xing’er?”

Xu Qi’an glanced at the clear human wife:

“Chai Xing’er’s ex-husband died because of Chai Jianyuan, and you were resentful, so you took the opportunity of the conflict between father and son over Chai Lan’s marriage to secretly let Chai Xian know about his birth and stimulate the aggravation of the spirit separation syndrome.

“At the same time, he poisoned Chai Jianyuan so that he would die a reasonable death at the hands of Chai Xian. Chai Xian has been a bigot since he was a child, and his other side is even more bigoted and ruthless; how will he react when he realizes that Chai Jianyuan is the one responsible for his tragic childhood, and the very same Chai Jianyuan who is going to marry his beloved girl to someone else?”

The inner hall was suddenly quiet.

Chai Xing’er could feel those gazes, focusing on herself as much as they could at this moment.

She just glanced at Li Ling Su and said:

“Elder Xu, these are all your guesses, there is no evidence. Moreover, Xiao Lan’s whereabouts are still unknown, and since she is close to Chai Xian, she may not be unaware of Chai Xian’s identity, and may have seen his six toes long ago. That’s why she won’t fall in love with Chai Xian.”

“This you will know if you ask Chai Yin if he knows that he has six toes on his left foot.”

Chai Xing’er continued, “She was unwilling to marry the Huangfu family, so she poisoned her elder brother and secretly revealed Chai Xian’s true identity before fleeing, and to this day, her whereabouts are unknown. Senior, is this speculation of mine reasonable?”

Still not admitting it!

“Simply because you don’t want to get married?”

A young monk couldn’t help but open his mouth to question.

“Then Xing’er wouldn’t have killed her own big brother just because Chai Jianyuan refined her ex-husband into an iron corpse.”

Li Lingsu whispered, “Elder, Chai Jianyuan had no choice but to refine Xing’er’s ex-husband into an iron corpse, it was not intentional, and even if Xing’er has a grudge in her heart, it is only a grudge.”

Xu Qi’an ignored it and laughed a little:

“I really don’t quite understand your motives, that’s an afterthought. Chai Xing’er, do I need to tell you who is locked up in the secret room under the shrine?”

Chai Xing’er’s face instantly paled.

Xu Qi’an looked around the crowd, then to Chai Xian, “Chai Lan was locked up in the secret room of the ancestral hall by Chai Xing’er, I’ve already found her.”

Chai Xian raised his head violently, his mouth trembling, “She, she can be good ……..”

“Li Lingsu, go and bring the people here.” Xu Qi’an lifted his chin toward the door.

“Me?” Li Lingxu pointed at herself.

“Could it be me?” Xu Qi’an asked rhetorically.

But I don t know where the secret room is ……… Li Lingsu instinctively did not want to go, afraid of uncovering the truth, but he saw an orange cat standing in the doorway, and lifted his paw unhappily and tapped the threshold.

So knowing that if he doesn’t go again, Xu Qian, the dead old man, will be angry, he only had to step out with a stiff upper lip.

The inner hall fell silent, and no one spoke.

The Buddhist monks were half-expectant and half-scrupulous, expectant because of the progress of the case, and scrupulous because they didn’t know what Xu Qi’an would do to them later.

The Zen masters still had the power to fight, but they asked themselves that they didn’t have half a chance of winning against that godly sword. Moreover, the other party also had a puppet that could cast and counteract the precepts.

As for Pureheart, he was the one who knew Xu Qi’an’s identity and cultivation the most.

The others might have had the idea of taking a chance, Pureheart didn’t take any chances in that regard at all.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Lingsu came in carrying a pudgy woman across her arms, and the orange cat that had just left together did not follow.

Chai Xing’er’s face went a few shades of white again.

Chai Xian stared at the woman dead on, getting close enough to see her face through the messy hair.

“Arashi ……..”

He shuddered and made a sound similar to a cry.

Chai Lan opened her mouth, unable to form words in her emotional state, and bawled her eyes out.

“Arashi, Arashi ……..”

Chai Xian twisted and moved to her, scrutinizing her several times with a mixture of sadness and joy, “I’m glad it’s okay, I’m glad you’re okay.”

Xu Qi’an scrutinized the pretty human wife, “What else is there to be sophomoric about?”

Chai Lan’s appearance was ironclad proof of the accusation against Chai Xing’er, and there was no point in forcing a cunning defense, for there were still commandments waiting for her.

Chai Xing’er understood this, and without saying anything else, she slowly walked towards Li Ling Su, raised her hands, cupped the Saint Son’s handsome face, and softly said:

“Li Lang, I knew you were a prodigal, from the moment I met you.”

She sighed, “I didn’t want to pay any attention to you, but you just wanted to provoke me, and after you came back from the Thousand Extinction Valley, it was hard for me to fall in love with you against my will. What I thought at that time was that even though you are a prodigal son, a man who is willing to lay down his life for you, even if he is a prodigal son, I still like it.”

“Xing’er, you, why are you doing this …….” Li Lingsu said compassionately.

What’s the point of having a grudge? Just because Chai Jianyuan turned his late husband into an iron corpse?

Li Lingsu could hardly understand, and he was just about to say something when Chai Xing’er, who was cupping his cheeks, suddenly reversed her palm and slapped it towards her own brow.

The change came too quickly, Li Lingsu was caught off guard and could only watch the palm containing qi slapping towards Chai Xing’er’s brow between the sharp contraction of her pupils.

Suddenly, a hand appeared in Li Ling Su’s pupils and held Chai Xing’er’s wrist.

“Want to kill yourself? Did I give permission.”

Xu Qi’an sneered.

“Senior Xu ……..”

The saint was instantly surprised and said, “Senior, you are so dependable, you will always be my backer.

Immediately, surging with a wave of fear, Li Lingsu pressed Chai Xing’er’s shoulders, shocked, angry and compassionate:

“Kill yourself? You say you love me, and then you kill yourself with your backhand? Why.”

Chai Xing’er ignored him, looked sideways at Xu Qi’an, and said bitterly, “Senior, I have nothing left to say but to die in thanks for my sins, and you’re going to care about that too?”

“The words haven’t been asked yet, is it too soon to want to die.”

Looking at Xu Qian’s smirking expression and meeting the other party’s burning gaze, Chai Xing’er suddenly had the feeling of being stripped naked, unable to hide any secrets.

What do you mean?

The murderer behind the scene has confessed, the case is clear, what else is there to ask?

In the crowd’s surprised expressions, Li Lingsu said, “Senior?”

“I have two doubts that I would like to ask Aunt Chai to answer.”

Xu Qi’an swept through the crowd, “Don’t you all think it’s strange that Chai Xing’er’s ex-husband has been dead for nearly three years, so why has she kept her troops still for these three years and had to wait until now to make her move?”

Pureheart and Li Lingsu frowned at the same time.

They understood Xu Qian’s words, the premise of holding back was to look for opportunities or build up strength. But what had stopped Chai Xing’er from taking revenge in the past three years?

Chai Xing’er pursed her lips and said frankly, “I’m waiting for an opportunity to aggravate Chai Xian’s Soul Separation Disorder. The marriage between the Chai family and the Huangfu family is the opportunity.”

“Hehe, with Chai Xian’s condition, three feet of ice is not cold in a day anymore. Even without the matter of the Huangfu family, I’m afraid he will still commit patricide, of course, you have to say wait for the opportunity, that’s fine too.”

Xu Qi’an’s expression was calm and steady, with the calmness and confidence of a veteran criminal police officer:

“Second suspicion, why did you imprison Chai Lan?

“Assuming that all your scheming is for revenge, Chai Jianyuan is your enemy, Chai Xian is your tool, but Chai Lan is an outsider, why are you imprisoning her?”

Chai Xing’er was silent for a long time, her eyes flashed with indignation, “Do you know why my husband and elder brother were ambushed by their enemies when they went out on an errand that day?”

She let out a “heh” and looked around the crowd, sneering, “There is no such thing as an enemy, everything is a setup by big brother.”

“Bullshit.”

Chai Lan refuted loudly in agitation and choked, “Why did father do this, aunt, you have harmed father and you want to slander him again?”

Chai Xing’er sneered:

“Of course it’s for his sinful seed. My husband and I are both of the fifth rank, and my husband is a member of the Chai family since he joined the Chai family. While his two sons have accomplished nothing, only Chai Xian, who has excellent qualifications, suffers from the Soul Departure Disorder. While he searches for a cure, he worries that if he cannot cure Chai Xian’s soul sickness, how will he succeed as the head of the family with his status as an adopted son?

“Will the clan support an outsider, or will they support us as a couple? He is confident that he can suppress us as a couple while he is alive, but once he dies, the Chai family is in our couple’s pocket.

“So, he wanted to take advantage of my lack of an heir and get rid of my husband to maintain the balance. In this way, even if Chai Xian cannot be cured in the future, he will be able to allow Chai Xian to assist the second or the third as an adopted son.

“Let the head of the Chai family not fall into my hands.

“He caused my husband to die a horrible death, so I’m going to return the favor against her favorite daughter. But Lan’er is my niece after all, I still couldn’t be ruthless enough to kill her.”

“How could this be …….” Li Lingsu completely did not expect such a hidden secret behind this case.

“Amitabha Buddha, merit and fame are all floating clouds. Caster Chai Jianyuan committed a great mistake due to his own selfishness. Caster Chai Xing’er made an equally great mistake because she could not let go of her hatred.”

Pure Heart shook his head and lamented.

“I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it …….”

Chai Lan shook his head desperately.

Chai Xing’er looked at Xu Qi’an, “Elder Xu, if you don’t believe me, you can use the precepts to interrogate me.”

“I believe it.” Xu Qi’an nodded and smiled, “But you still lied.”

Now, everyone moved their eyes from Chai Xing’er to Xu Qi’an again.

Chai Xing’er’s face changed.

“You are telling the truth, Chai Jianyuan may have really harmed your husband in the first place. But, it has nothing to do with you imprisoning Chai Lan. If you can’t be ruthless, big deal, don’t kill her. If you are ruthless, then kill her. You’ve spoken a lot of words, but you’re actually diverting our attention.”

In front of me to engage in this set of diversion, stealing the concept of rhetoric, heh, woman, you are not aware of how to write the three words Xu Yinluo ………. Xu Qi’an only hated that she didn’t have eyes that could reflect sharply.

“In addition, Chai Jianyuan has two sons, if you wanted to take revenge on him, shouldn’t you have chosen two nephews, why did you choose your niece. If my guess is correct, your purpose of imprisoning Chai Lan is to keep Chai Xian in Xiangzhou.”

Thump …….. Chai Xing’er backed up, her expression was odd, like she had seen the devil.

All her secrets were seen through.

“You, who the hell are you!?” Chai Xing’er screamed.

Li Ling Su and Pure Heart vaguely understood some of it, as for the others, their minds could no longer keep up.

Including Chai Xian and Chai Lan.

“It doesn’t matter who I am, now please answer my last query: why did you leave Chai Xian in Xiangzhou.”

Chai Xing’er clenched her silver teeth and refused to say half a word.

Xu Qi’an snapped his fingers.

Heng Yin righted himself, stepped on his feet, and raised his hands in a military salute, “yessir.”

Then, the head of the Three Flowers Monastery folded his hands and slowly said, “No lies!”

Invisible but majestic power enveloped Chai Xing’er, putting her in a state where she couldn’t lie.

“Why are you imprisoning Chai Lan.” Xu Qi’an asked.

Including Li Lingsu, everyone looked at Chai Xing’er in unison.

Chai Xing’er’s face twisted for a while, but after all, she could not go against her heart and truthfully said, “In order to keep Chai Xian in Xiangzhou.”

It’s still true!

The people in the room instantly realized that everything was as Xu Qian had expected.

“What is the reason?” Xu Qi’an asked the most crucial question.

…….. Chai Xing’er’s beautiful face had been completely distorted as she said with a single word:

“He, he is the Dragon Qi Host ……. I can’t let him leave Xiangzhou before his superiors arrive.”

She knew about the Dragon Qi Host? Xu Qi’an and Pureheart’s faces changed drastically.

The Dragon Breath Host. Dragon Breath again? What is dragon qi? What happened in the outside world during the six months that I was under house arrest by the Eastern Sisters ah ……… Li Lingsu thought blankly.

In the Floating Pagoda, he knew that the golden dragon that Xu Qian and the Buddha Sect had robbed was called Dragon Qi.

But more information was unknown, Xu Qian didn’t tell him.

Xu Qi’an’s face was grave as he pondered for a moment and asked, “What is your identity.”

Chai Xing’er struggled for a few seconds, “I’m a secret agent of the Tian Ji Palace, collecting information about Zhangzhou and the Jianghu area for the organization.”

“What kind of organization is the Tianji Palace and what kind of power does it belong to.”

“I, I’m not really sure …….”

“Tell me everything you know.” Xu Qi’an said in a deep voice.

“Not too long ago, the organization passed on information that asked me to pay attention to the boundaries of Zhangzhou for any anomalies. This includes some sudden big events, jianghu people who have suddenly made a name for themselves, experts whose cultivation has skyrocketed, and so on.

“The intelligence said that the Dafeng Dragon Vein collapsed, and the dragon’s qi scattered across the Central Plains states, choosing a host to host it. It didn’t take long for me to realize that Chai Xian’s cultivation had skyrocketed, and that he had actually comprehended the Harmonization Power in a short period of time.

“You know, he just stepped into the sixth rank before last year, and with his qualifications, it would take at least five years for him to comprehend Harmonization Power. I reported the information to my superiors and waited for news while observing Chai Xian.

“I suddenly realized that this was an opportunity to get back at my big brother and at the same time take control of the Chai family along the way. So planned all this ………”

Li Lingsu closed her eyes and sighed, “Xing’er, you’re the one who leaked information about Elder Xu and I to Jingshen and the others, right?”

Chai Xing’er nodded bitterly:

“I imprisoned is Xiao Lan in order to keep Chai Xian and wait for my superiors to arrive. But I didn’t expect to wait for you guys, and the Buddhist Sect. What makes me even more helpless is that you all are intensely curious about Chai Xian.

“In order to prevent you from finding Chai Xian and sabotaging me, I leaked the news of you and him to the Buddhist Sect so that you would focus on dealing with each other and ignore Chai Xian. It’s a pity that Pureheart wasn’t able to find Elder Xu.”

I have the heavenly compulsion of “moving stars and buckets” spells, of course, can not find me ……… Tianji Palace, this familiar name, if not wrong, is not the son of the establishment of the spy organization.

It was impossible for an idle jianghu power to know about the collapse of the dragon’s qi, and as one of the culprits of the collapse of the dragon’s qi, how could he not collect the dragon’s qi?

As a second-ranked “Qi Practitioner” who intends to rebel, his eyes and spies cannot be limited to Yunzhou, and I didn’t expect to run into one of them.

I might be able to follow the line of Chai Xing’er and uproot the improper human son’s dark son …….. ”Eh, that would be too simple, with the intelligence of the Improper Human Son, it’s impossible to be that stupid ………. Xu Qi’an pinched his brows.

Da Bong’s dragon qi collapsed? What are they talking about …….. Li Ling Su inexplicably felt out of touch with the times.

He hurriedly looked at the others, and was shocked to find that, except for the two siblings, Chai Xian and Chai Lan, who were just like himself, the others were actually not surprised in the slightest, as if they had already known.

Wait, dragon energy? Dragon’s vein?

Li Lingsu recalled with a flash that she had once read about dragon veins in the ancient books of the Heavenly Sect.

He thus associated it with the incident where Emperor Dafeng was decapitated by that Xu Yinluo.

Could the two be related?

At this time, Pure Heart suddenly said, “How does Scholar Xu plan to deal with them and with us?”

The power of life and death of everyone present was in Xu Qi’an’s hands.

The first person he looked at was Chai Xian.

Extracting the dragon qi is a must, as for Chai Xian, he has committed numerous murders, but he is a psychopath, not a subjective crime, according to the law of my past life, this kind of person should be locked up in a mental hospital for the rest of his life and can not come out ……… but according to the law of the Dah Bong, this kind of person is executed by death by lynching. ……… I am really only suitable for solving cases, I can t be a judge.

Xu Qi’an was deliberating.

At that moment, Chai Hsien looked up and said, “Can you untie me?”

His expression was calm, and his tone seemed unperturbed, as if he had already made up his mind.

Xu Qi’an drew out his Taiping Blade, and with a flash of blade light, he easily cut through the magic weapon ropes.

Chai Xian nodded at him and said softly, “I will atone with my life for the faults I have committed. He was right, I was too cowardly and never dared to face myself squarely.”

This he, refers to the other personality.

“When I was eight years old, my mother died of illness, so I began to beg for a living, suffered a lot of bullying, and when I was starving, I even had to fight with dogs for food. When I was starving, I even had to fight with dogs for food. At the most difficult times, I could not wait to die, for death would be a kind of relief. I hated my father all the time. Then my righteous father found me and led me back to the Chai family …….”

He turned his head sideways and looked at Chai Lan beside him with a gentle smile, “I found a meaning to live, but unfortunately it’s just a mirror image.”

Chai Xian reached out his palm to touch Chai Lan’s cheek, and his hand froze in mid-air halfway through.

“If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t have entered the Chai family and would rather not have met you in my life.”

The hand that had frozen in mid-air withdrew and tapped it on his brow.

Bang!

In the sound of cracking bones, accompanied by Chai Lan’s screams, Chai Xian’s body suddenly froze, blood spilling from his eyes before he fell limply to the ground.

A thick dragon qi flew out of Chai Xian’s body and rushed towards the roof with teeth and claws to get out of here.

……..
