Thanks to Chen Runyu, Long Yan's plan went smoothly.
She was bought by Chen Runyu, and after burying the "father" she had never met, she followed Chen Runyu into the Sword Sect as she wished.
On the way, Chen Runyu told her many stories about life in Jianzong in order to appease her sad mood.
Among them, the title "Big Brother" appears most frequently.
Long Yan silently remembered it in her heart, and planned to have the opportunity to meet this senior brother who was unparalleled in benevolence, justice, wisdom and courage.
When she arrived at Jianzong, Long Yan made up her mind to find a way to leave Chen Runyu's side.
Investigating demons is a very dangerous thing, so it is best not to involve Chen Runyu.
That's what Long Yan thought. She smelled really good in the evening.
Chen Runyu, who had gone out to find out gossip all day, came back and began to share his gains with Long Yan and Zi Mian.
"I heard some shocking news today. The great elder's entire family is dead."
Long Yan was a little shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that this child, whom she considered to be kind and innocent, would actually sound happy when talking about such a tragic thing.
Maybe it’s because Chongxu is very unpopular in the Sword Sect?
At the same time, she also guessed that the case she encountered today should be Chongxu's family.
It seems that the man in the demonic path must have a deep grudge against Chongxu, otherwise there would be no need to kill Chongxu's whole family after his death.
"Aren't you scared?"
Long Yan asked back.
Chen Runyu said carelessly: "What's there to be afraid of?
Senior Brother once said that if you don’t do anything wrong in your life, you won’t be surprised if you knock on the door in the middle of the night. The Zhou family has done too many bad things, so they will have this kind of retribution.”
Long Yan: "..."
Are all the people in your Sword Sect so simple?
Long Yan was even more curious about this senior brother.
However, the Chongxu matter was more important now, so she followed Chen Runyu's words and asked: "What bad things have they done?"
Speaking of this, Chen Runyu became excited.
The Lingshi theft case must be mentioned. In this case, the Zhou family participated in corruption, spreading rumors, colluding with thieves, etc.
There is also a monopoly on the sect's canteen, but the food is unpalatable and expensive, and they also make people pay protection fees at the town's market.
There are even some life-threatening lawsuits, and when clues point to the Zhou family, they always disappear inexplicably.
There are many things that make people angry when they hear them, but because Chongxu is so powerful, even the leader can only compromise on many things.
After hearing this, Long Yan felt a headache.
She also wanted to start with Chongxu's enemies, but what Chen Runyu said was that there were too many people who had enemies with Chongxu.
The murderer was quick and quick, and when the time came, he would kill Chongxu's entire family.
This must be a long-term plan.
And he definitely didn't show it at ordinary times, otherwise Chongxu, as a strong man at the peak of his soul, would not be unaware of other people's malice.
This person must be very scheming and good at pretending.
Long Yan already has a candidate in mind.
That is the head of the Sword Sect, Jiang Qingyun!
Before she had time to launch an investigation, Chen Runyu had already said everything she needed to say.
According to her account, the process of Jiang Qingyun's confrontation with Chongxu had been very difficult, but she could still maintain the Sword Sect's laws and regulations.
After Chongxu's death, Jiang Qingyun also maintained the Jianzong's face well, achieved breakthroughs in cultivation, and abolished many of the bad policies left by Chongxu, and is now very popular.
Because of this, Long Yan cast her first suspicious gaze on Jiang Qingyun.
First, she has the strength to kill Chongxu.
Second, she has a grudge against Chongxu.
Third, after Chongxu's death, she is the one who reaps the greatest benefits.
Fourth, she is good at using swords.
She has met all the conditions known so far, and Long Yan has no reason not to be suspicious.
Of course, suspicion is suspicion. Without conclusive evidence, Long Yan would not be able to formally investigate Jiang Qingyun.
After all, Jiang Qingyun is the head of the Sword Sect. If he is not handled well, it may affect the unity of the alliance.
Perhaps, she could take a detour and start with Jiang Qingyun's only disciple.
That night, Long Yan formulated a battle plan.
Since Chen Runyu admires Zhang Chi very much, why not encourage her to meet Zhang Chi, and she can follow him.
Little did she know that Zi Mian had also been staring at her all night.
It's not that Long Yan showed anything unreasonable, but that the script was too familiar to Zi Mian.
Sensing that something might be wrong with Long Yan, Zi Mian did not say anything. She still played her role while secretly guessing Long Yan's purpose.
Early the next morning, Long Yan knew what it meant that she didn't need to push herself, Chen Runyu could move on her own.
Early in the morning, Chen Runyu dressed herself up beautifully, made breakfast herself, and sent it to Zhang Chi. Long Yan also got the opportunity to follow.
Outside a very simple house, she met Zhang Chi.
At this time, Zhang Chi was practicing his sword in the yard. His sword dance was not fast, but it looked particularly elegant.
Obviously, what Chen Runyu said about being handsome is not false at all.
It depends on whether he is as smart as Chen Runyu said.
Long Yan didn't express herself. She stood behind Chen Runyu like Zi Mian.
Chen Runyu did not interrupt Zhang Chi's sword practice, but waited for Zhang Chi to finish.
Zhang Chi closed his eyes when practicing his sword. After practicing, he saw the three people who suddenly visited him.
He has formation restrictions here, and no one can enter or exit unless ordered by the leader.
However, food can be delivered.
Seeing Chen Runyu, Zhang Chi also smiled and greeted her.
"Xiaoyu, why didn't you go to class today?"
"The people from Hualong Palace are here. The elders stopped teaching for three days, and I came to see my senior brother."
In fact, ever since the incident of eavesdropping on Zhang Chi and Tang Ruoling was discovered, she has been unable to look directly at Zhang Chi.
But when she thought that Zhang Chi had no love for Tang Ruoling, she felt very excited.
After thinking about it, she still wanted to take the initiative, so she made breakfast and sent it to Zhang Chi, and talked to him by the way, even if it was only separated by a defensive formation.
"Why did the people from Hualong Palace come here?"
The smile on Zhang Chi's face faded a lot.
"Senior brother, you don't know yet, right? Elder Chongxu is dead, and all members of the Zhou family are also dead."
"Is there such a thing?"
Zhang Chi showed appropriate shock and worry, and said: "If this happens, wouldn't my master's situation be very bad?"
"Eh? Why do you say that? The leader is doing well now!"
Chen Runyu didn't understand why Zhang Chi was so worried. If his opponent died, wouldn't this be more conducive to establishing his own authority?
Zhang Chi explained: "I'm worried that the people who came to investigate from Hualong Palace will put suspicion on the master. She is the only one in the entire Sword Sect who seems to have benefited."
Long Yan couldn't help but look sideways, this kid really had something.
She really doubted Jiang Qingyun.
However, maybe it's just a coincidence, let's take a closer look.
Chen Runyu comforted him and said: "No, the master is fair in doing things, and everyone can see it. Even people from Hualong Palace don't want to bully the master."
"I think it might not be that simple."
Zhang Chi said with a serious face: "It's just that an elder of the Sword Sect died. There is no reason for Hualong Palace to get involved. There must be some things we don't know about."
"Then I'll go and help my senior brother to inquire about it?"
Chen Runyu did not doubt Zhang Chi's judgment at all, but Zhang Chi stopped her.
"Don't be reckless. Since the news hasn't spread, it must be something serious that no one should know about. Don't try to interfere with it, lest you run into danger.
The injury last time hasn’t healed yet, has it?”
"I'm fine, senior brother, don't worry."
"You are not allowed to put yourself in danger anymore."
"I understand, senior brother."
Although Zhang Chi taught him a lesson with a stern expression, Chen Runyu was still very happy.
At this time, Zhang Chi also noticed Long Yan behind Chen Runyu...
