Lei Dongfang glanced at Lei Zhenshan slightly and said no more.
"Yes, my subordinates know." The core disciple responded.
He was about to continue his report when Lei Zhenshan suddenly waved his hand, his eyes filled with thought, as if he had thought of something.
"Wait a minute, I can't remember if he doesn't say it. I remember that Xu You defeated Ma Rulong some time ago. This incident had quite a big impact on the Lei family." He suddenly asked.
"It's quite big." Elder Lei Wancheng said with a smile, "At that time, I heard that Xu You defeated Ma Rulong, who was at the peak of mid-level spiritual body, at the peak of his early spiritual body. I was shocked and couldn't believe it. Later everyone said so.
, only then did I know it was true. It seems that my Lei family is about to produce another genius."
Lei Dongfang didn't say anything, but just looked at Lei Zhenshan with confusion. From his attitude just now, he could already feel that Lei Zhenshan was actually quite disgusted with Xu You, so mentioning this matter was probably not without purpose.
Sure enough, Lei Zhenshan said slowly: "I don't know if he is a genius, but he just defeated Ma Rulong not long ago, and the two of them had a close relationship. Now Ma Rulong suddenly disappears, is there any connection between the two?"
"It's not just Ma Rulong who is missing, but also Liu Jingjing." Lei Dongfang reminded.
"I heard that Liu Jingjing also had conflicts with him. It seems that he and Ma Rulong competed just because Liu Jingjing was jealous." Lei Zhenshan said calmly.
Lei Wancheng asked doubtfully: "You mean the disappearance of Ma Rulong and Liu Jingjing has something to do with Xu You?"
Lei Zhenshan said lightly: "It's just a guess. I have no evidence, but everything is possible. Don't forget that Liu Jingjing's clothes were found in Ma Rulong's residence. It is possible that the two of them were together, which aroused Xu You's suspicion.
Jealousy..."
"This is just a matter of speculation and cannot be taken lightly." Lei Dongfang shook his head and said, "And I heard Qing Lan say that the competition between Xu You and Ma Rulong has nothing to do with Liu Jingjing, it is just Ma Rulong's strong force."
"Forced?" Lei Zhenshan smiled enigmatically, "Does that further prove that there is a deep conflict between them?"
He turned to the core disciple and asked: "What do other disciples with foreign surnames think of the relationship between Xu You and Ma Rulong? Have you ever understood it?"
The core disciple said: "I didn't know about it specifically, but when I asked, the disciples with a foreign surname had a good impression of Xu You. They also said that Xu You also helped search for Ma Rulong on the first day he disappeared. He was very generous, not that
Those who are jealous must retaliate, but Ma Rulong has always been grudged against Xu You after he lost."
Lei Zhenshan's smile was slightly cold: "It seems that Xu You is very popular. I only remember that he was good friends with the children of the Lei family, but I didn't expect that even the children with a foreign surname would say good things for him."
Lei Dongfang's heart was moved. Lei Zhenshan knew Xu You's situation so well, and it seemed that he was secretly concerned about this young man. However, with his disgusting attitude, it might not be a good thing for Xu You.
Although the great elder had a good impression of Xu You, since the head of the family was disgusted, he could only remain silent.
"Go down and inform Xu You that he is not allowed to go out or go to the training ground until this matter comes to light. Find a few more people to watch him and see if there is anything unusual." Lei Zhenshan ordered the core disciple.
"Yes." The core disciple gave a slight salute and stepped back to leave.
…
In the closed room, Lei Xing sat in front of Lei Dong and described what happened in the past day one by one.
After hearing this, Lei Dong's expression changed slightly. He pondered for a while and asked, "What do you think happened to Ma Rulong and Liu Jingjing's disappearance?"
Lei Xing shook his head: "I don't know."
Lei Dong seemed to be very interested: "How could you not know? Aren't people saying that Ma Rulong kidnapped Liu Jingjing because his love turned into hatred?"
Lei Xing smiled: "Although Ma Rulong is reckless and impulsive, he still has a good IQ, and his subordinates don't think he has feelings for Liu Jingjing."
Lei Dong nodded, his eyes flickering, slightly cold: "If my guess is correct, Ma Rulong and Liu Jingjing should be dead, and their bodies have been destroyed, so no evidence can be found even if they are searched.
"
Lei Xing was slightly startled: "What basis does the eldest master have?"
"Intuition." Lei Dong said, "And I almost know who the murderer is."
"Who is it?" Lei Xing asked curiously.
"Xu You!" Lei Dong said calmly.
Lei Xing's expression immediately turned helpless, and after a while he said: "My lord, it has been so many days, do you still hold grudges against Xu You?"
Lei Dong raised his sword eyebrows: "I'm talking about intuition, what does it have to do with hating him? You don't think I put the name of the murderer on his head just because I hate him, do you?"
Lei Xing thought to himself that you were indeed right, and said with a wry smile: "Young Master, intuition cannot be used as evidence."
"You don't have to say it." Lei Dong said dissatisfiedly, "Go and invite my father to come over. I have something to say to him."
Lei Xing hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Eldest Young Master, don't you want to tell the head of the family your intuition?"
Lei Dong said with a straight face: "This is not your business, go quickly."
"Yes, eldest son." Lei Xing sighed, stood up slowly and exited the confinement room.
…
In the evening, as soon as Xu You returned to the area for children with a foreign surname, he saw a law enforcement officer standing at the door of the residence with an expressionless face.
His heart trembled, and he quickly walked over and slightly cupped his hands: "Excuse me..."
"Xu You." The law enforcement courtyard brother interrupted him, "From today on, you cannot go out to practice, nor can you go to the training ground. Until the disappearance of Ma Rulong and Liu Jingjing is investigated clearly, you can only move around in the area for children with other surnames."
Xu You was shocked and asked calmly: "Did I break any house rules? Or am I suspected of something?"
The law enforcement officer smiled solemnly: "This is the order of the master of the family. If you want to know, just ask the master of the family?"
He strode away without even looking at Xu You.
Xu You watched him leave, feeling slightly angry. This boy was waiting at his door, obviously notifying him specially. This meant that he was the only one who received this kind of treatment, and the other boys were fine.
Could it be that Lei Zhenshan has already suspected him? No, this is impossible. First, there is no evidence. Second, there is nothing unusual about his behavior. Third, there should be no adverse effects on him from other disciples.
Then why did Lei Zhenshan give him the treatment of house arrest alone?
It seemed that there could only be one reason. The head of the family was particularly disgusted with him, so he took the opportunity to punish him.
Xu You thought for a moment and quickly guessed the reason.
Anger rose in his heart, but he also felt powerless.
Facing Lei Dong, you can still use the Lei family's rules to fight back. Facing the supreme head of the family, what can you use to resist?
At this time, other disciples with foreign surnames also heard what the core disciple said, and they all came over to comfort him.
Although Xu You is far from close to the Lei family's children, through recent events, everyone still has a good impression of the young man, so they feel quite sympathetic.
Xu You reluctantly smiled at everyone, indicated that he was not in the way, and then turned back and entered the house.
After closing the door, entering the underground practice room, and running the Spiritual Art, his mind quickly calmed down.
"I didn't expect that the situation would turn against me so quickly. Fortunately, it is far from the worst. Lei Zhenshan should just take the opportunity to punish me instead of doubting me. Even if he doubts me, as long as there is no evidence, even if he is the head of the family, he will
I can only let it go and let it go, I just have to wait patiently."
"You can't go out to practice during this period. However, in the past few days, I have practiced several other elementary spiritual arts to a near-perfect level. Even at home, I can continue practicing with the help of the black ball, which will not delay the progress."
"We still need to seize the time to practice. Only by breaking through the spiritual realm and reaching the spiritual realm can we have the capital to talk to Lei Zhenshan. I am still too weak now. People can put me under house arrest with just one sentence, but I don't even have the qualifications to question
nothing."
Xu You thought to himself, and immediately took out the black ball and put his spiritual consciousness into it. After a while, he started fighting fiercely with his other self inside.
Fighting is both training and a way to vent.
In the next few days, Xu You stayed at home and practiced in the underground practice room without eating or sleeping. During the day, he kept fighting with himself in the black ball. At night, he practiced the three exercises together. Anyway, he was hungry and thirsty.
Servants always bring food and water.
The children of the Lei family also heard about his being under house arrest. They were surprised and came to see him one after another. However, Xu You excused himself from being in a bad mood and did not see any of them, so as not to delay his cultivation time.
Lei Qinglan found Lei Dongfang and begged his father to persuade Lei Zhenshan to let Xu You go.
But Lei Dongfang shook his head and said that it was the time when Lei Zhenshan was disgusted with Xu You, and trying to persuade him at this time would only make Lei Zhenshan hate Xu You even more.
Lei Qinglan was dubious, and went to plead for Xu You with Lei Fang and other core disciples, but was blasted out coldly by Lei Zhenshan.
Everyone was helpless and could only hope that the matter would pass as soon as possible so that Xu You could regain his freedom.
Several days passed, but there was still no clue about Ma Rulong and Liu Jingjing. The second elder Lei Wancheng even visited the Zhou family and the Yue family, but did not get any news.
At this point, the Lei family had no choice but to announce that the matter had come to an end, and because they did not know the fate of Ma Rulong and Liu Jingjing, they could only claim that the two had betrayed the Lei family and became the key criminals wanted by the Lei family.
Although Xu You is immersed in cultivation and seems to be oblivious to what is going on outside the window, in fact, he disperses his powerful spiritual consciousness every day and listens for news.
When he learned that the matter had come to an end, he couldn't help but smile. It seemed that he could finally see the light of day again. Even if Lei Zhenshan was the head of the family, there was no reason to keep him under house arrest.
Sure enough, in less than a day, the law enforcement officer who delivered the order earlier came to visit again.
"Xu You, your ban has been lifted, but the master of the house wants to see you, so please go there immediately." The law enforcement officer said with the same expressionless face.
The smile on Xu You's face disappeared, and his heart thumped. Now that the ban has been lifted, why does Lei Zhenshan still want to see him?
He was secretly wary in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded and left with the law enforcement officer.
