"I really didn't expect that Lady Hong Lian, cough cough, would also come to such a place.”Recalling what happened a few days ago, Yun Shuang revealed an awkward but polite smile.
" Red Lotus, when did you meet Xiaoshuang…" Han Fei looked at Red Lotus in confusion.
God…How many things do I not know…Han Fei roared in his heart.
" This…This…" Red Lotus stammered, unable to say anything. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she ran to Yun Shuang's side, holding her right hand and saying,""Let me introduce everyone. This is my Master Xiao Shuang. His sword technique is very powerful.”After saying that, Red Lotus nodded in an attempt to cover it up.
" Superb swordsmanship…Of course I know. I'm asking, when did you…"
"Alright, alright, brother, don't ask anymore. I know that my master's swordsmanship is superb, so I took him as my master. It's that simple. Don't ask anymore, or I'll get angry.”After saying that, Red Lotus glared at Han Fei with a red face.
Yun Shuang wiped away the nonexistent cold sweat. Only he knew why Hong Lian was blushing…
"Alright, alright, I surrender. Since you guys already know each other, then things are simple.”
" Then, Brother Xiao Shuang, I'm sorry to trouble you. You and Hong Lian…"
"No, absolutely not. Ninth Young Master, you entrusted the wrong person. Nothing happened between Red Lotus and me.”Han Fei was interrupted by Yun Shuang.
Han Fei was speechless.
Heavens! What was their relationship? I must find out…Han Fei shouted in his heart again.
"Brother, the person you asked me to help is this…mm…my master?”Hong Lian suddenly asked.
"Yes, this is…your master.”Han Fei replied dejectedly.
Yun Shuang: "???" What's going on? When did I ask you for help?!
Han Fei was speechless. Oh my god, they were already so close that they were whispering to each other. When did they meet?
"Ahem, you mean…Xiao Shuang hasn't taught you sword techniques yet?”Han Fei coughed twice to ease the awkwardness.
Han Fei looked as if he had nothing to live for. A grown girl, oh, no, a grown sister, even began to despise her brother.
"Ahem, alright." Han Fei calmed himself down and began to speak slowly.
" If I'm not mistaken, Miss Nongyu should be Madam Hu's daughter. From Miss Nongyu's expression, I can infer that the Left Sima is not her biological father, so I made a bold assumption. Madam Hu was forcefully taken into the house by the Left Sima, and the Left Sima was killed by Madam's ex-husband…"
" No, that's not it…" Madam Hu immediately retorted.
" Madam, don't be anxious. This is my initial deduction. Later, I heard Xiao Shuang say that Madam and Nongyu are both in danger. A vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. Madam might be killed because of love, but Miss Nongyu will definitely be fine. Obviously, the first deduction was eliminated. Combined with the treasure chest in the secret chamber, I boldly made a final deduction.”
With that, Han Fei's lips curled up slightly.
"Back then, Lord Left Sima conspired with the murderer to take a sum of treasure and then killed him to silence him. Unexpectedly, that person did not die and even learned a skill to come back for revenge. This was the cause of Lord Left Sima's death, right?”
Seeing that no one responded, Han Fei seemed to understand and continued,""There is a question in this deduction. After the murderer took revenge, he must have wanted the treasure. That is why Lord Left Sima died in the secret chamber. Then did the murderer get the treasure?”
"Obviously, no. Why do you say no. Then there is another speculation."
"Miss Nongyu was born from Madam Hu and her ex-husband. The Fire Rain Agate is so good in color and so big that it might not be found in the entire Han Kingdom. Therefore, I speculate that Madam Hu is a descendant of the Fiery Rain Manor back then, and…she is the Eldest Miss of the Fiery Rain Manor.”
Observing the shocked expression on Mrs. Hu's face, Han Fei became more and more proud.
"Brother Zifang has checked the dossier. Back then, the Right Sima Li Kai was the main general who attacked the Bai Yue, and Liu Yi was his deputy. However, it was rumored that Li Kai died on the battlefield, and Liu Yi became the Left Sima based on his achievements. Since that's the case, I'll make a hypothesis. Li Kai is Madam Hu's husband and also Miss Nongyu's father. He was killed by Liu Yi. Once Li Kai died and Fiery Rain Manor was destroyed, Liu Yi forced his wife into his family. My guess is right…or…wrong.”Han Fei stared at Madam Hu. Although it was just speculation, his eyes were extremely firm.
After a while, Madam Hu nodded slightly.
"Then the truth is very obvious. If the assassin had obtained the treasure, he could have just left. Why did he have to take the unnecessary step of moving the corpse out? If they didn't get the treasure, what would the assassin do? If it were me, I would definitely look for someone related to this matter back then. In the entire Liu residence, only Madam, the Eldest Miss of Fiery Rain Manor, is most likely to know about the treasure. The assassin would definitely interrogate Madam, but Madam was safe and sound.”
"In that case, I have another guess. There are experts in the residence to protect Madam. This person is obviously not arranged by the Left Sima. Otherwise, the Left Sima would definitely not have died. He wanted to watch Liu Yi die and protect Madam with all his might. I feel that other than Madam's ex-husband, I am the Right Sima Li Kai. There should be no one else.”
"This is also very easy to explain. Why would the corpse be moved out of the secret chamber? All of this was naturally done by Li Kai. The purpose was to help Madam remove the suspicion. After all, it was difficult for a weak woman like Madam to do this quietly.”
The room was silent. Yun Shuang didn't expect that Han Fei's guess was so close to the truth based on some scattered information.
"From the looks of it, even if my guess is not the truth, it's not much different. Why aren't you praising me?”Han Fei said the last sentence to Red Lotus.
"Brother, you're awesome!" Hong Lian praised him forcefully and raised her head as if she was praising herself.
"There are only two questions left. First, where is the treasure? Second, who is the assassin? Brother Xiao Shuang, are you still hiding this from me? I'm very sad. I've told you everything I know. You should give me some clues, right?”Han Fei looked at Yun Shuang innocently.
Yun Shuang sighed. Indeed, she could kill herself, but it was better to let others use their brains.
After thinking for a while, Yun Shuang told him everything about Liu Yi, Li Kai, and the Three Wolves with Broken Hair.
"I didn't expect this Left Sima to be so bold. He even dared to take Ji Wuye's things.”Han Fei couldn't help but laugh.
"Although there are some differences, it's more or less the same as what I guessed. I'm guessing that the Three Wolves with Broken Hair are also from the Hundred Birds…Sigh…Sometimes, brains are really important. Many things can be easily solved.”Han Fei couldn't help praising himself.
"It seems that I didn't find the wrong person to look for Red Lotus.”Han Fei sat down quietly, picked up his glass, and looked like he had everything under control.
"What can Red Lotus do to help?" Yun Shuang could not help but ask.
"I'm guessing that Brother Xiao Shuang must have been guarding Miss Nongyu for the entire night. After all, theoretically, it's much easier to enter the Purple Orchid Pavilion than the Liu Residence.”
Yun Shuang nodded.
"That's why I said that brains are very important. Cough cough, don't use your hands, don't use your hands.”Seeing Yun Shuang's unfriendly eyes, Han Fei hurriedly changed his words.
"Brother Xiaoshuang has caused quite a commotion these few days. Even my father heard about it when he was in the palace. Do you think Ye Wu doesn't know?”
"You mean…"
" That's right. As long as you stay in Violet Orchid Loft, the Assassin will not come. He's not stupid. He knew that he would die, so why would he come?"”
"Then what should we do? I'll leave Purple Orchid Pavilion?" Yun Shuang asked.
"It's useless. The vultures won't believe us, so we need Red Lotus to take action now.”
When Red Lotus heard this, she raised her head arrogantly, with an expression that said,"Come and praise me."
"The entire Han Kingdom knows that Hong Lian is unruly and willful. She is unreasonable and unreasonable. Cough cough…Hong Lian, let go, let go.”Red Lotus twisted Han Fei's arm twice.
" It's a slip of the tongue. Red Lotus is innocent and considerate. Ahem, go on, go on." Han Fei thought for a moment and then said," I was wondering what identity I should use to get you to leave Purple Orchid Pavilion, but it's much easier now. Red Lotus 'birthday is coming soon. We announced to the public that Red Lotus was going to hold a birthday party, and then dragged his master out of Purple Orchid Pavilion and took him to the party, along with Brother Wei Zhuang.”
"Would the vultures believe this reason?”
"He has no choice but to believe it. Even if he doesn't believe it, he will convince himself to believe it. We just need to give him a reason to convince himself.”
"Using Red Lotus as an entry point, the more he thinks about it, the more likely it is. The entire Han Kingdom knows about Red Lotus's stubborn personality. Moreover, he can't wait that long. Betraying Ji Wuye is very tragic. In the next two days, he will definitely think of ways to obtain news of the treasure and then escape.”
"When the time comes, we'll sneak back and catch him like a turtle in a jar.”Han Fei looked confident.
Yun Shuang frowned and thought for a moment before saying,""I'll believe you this once, just this once, for the sake of the jade, understand?”
Han Fei smiled.
It seemed that the day they became friends was not far away. Yun Shuang was a temperamental person, so she had to start from what he cared about and follow his thoughts.
He had no choice but to ask for help. Besides, it seemed that only the silly Red Lotus had the guts to drag him out of the Purple Orchid Pavilion. Only she would do this and others would believe her.
"Sigh…Alright, I'll accept you as my disciple.”Yun Shuang was a little helpless. She was originally carefree, but now she had another burden.
"That's great, Master!" As she spoke, Hong Lian happily hugged Yun Shuang's arm and shook it again.
"Master, what's the name of our sect?”
"Pure Yang Sword Sect! You're the eldest senior sister of the third generation disciple."
"Then what about our founder?”
"My master, Pure Yang Sword Immortal, Lu Dongbin. I am the second sect master. All of us Pure Yang Sword Immortals are called Sword Immortals.”Yun Shuang thought for a moment and said," Every boss of the Mo Family is called Ju Zi."
" Then I'll also be a sword immortal in the future…" Red Lotus looked at Yun Shuang with stars in her eyes, her face full of longing.
Pure Yang Sword Immortal? Lu Dongbin? Everyone silently committed these two names to memory, planning to investigate them later…except Violet Maiden.
Xiao Shuang's ability to spout nonsense was getting better and better. It sounded like it was real…Was it really…nonsense?
Violet Maiden couldn't help but look…
"Since we have a plan, when will we carry it out?”Yun Shuang asked.
"There's no time like the present. Let's do it today.”Han Fei smiled slightly.
" However, there's still a problem…"
"What is it?"
"This box…I have to open it…Cough cough, don't use violence. If the words inside are accidentally destroyed, won't it be troublesome?”Han Fei broke out in cold sweat at the thought of Yun Shuang's violent opening.
"I don't know how to do this. Who will do it?”Han Fei asked.
Everyone silently turned their heads towards Wei Zhuang.
Wei Zhuang was speechless.
