Long Sorrow Song - C35
Lu Mingjie’s face was a little ugly, but he continued to sit below the stage, ignoring everything that was happening around him as he coldly looked at Zhang Qingwu on the stage.
Zhang Qingwu did not care how many people believed him when he told them about Ye Shuanghan and how he killed civilians like the wind. Then he bowed his head to Ye Wen Han and Liang Rufeng and apologized, “This was all a misunderstanding. I represent the Hua Shan Sect here to apologize to the two young masters. ”
Ye Mo Han stood there without moving or saying anything, and he was like the wind. This was because the two of them understood that Zhang Qingwu still had something to say. The two of them were just the primer of this Demon Slayer Association, and the main topic was still in Zhang Qingwu’s next words.
Zhang Qingwu changed his tone back to his usual icy tone and said, “I’m sure everyone knows that the matter of my father’s death is related to Ye Mo Han.”
The news of Ye Yihan killing Zhang Yiming had already spread like wildfire throughout the martial arts world. However, when the crowd below the stage heard Zhang Qingwu mentioning this matter again, only a few people paid attention to the word ‘relationship’ that he had with Zhang Qingwu. At this time, most people only thought that Ye Mo Han was the only one who would die.
At this time, Chen Shaochong gave an excuse for Ye Mo Han to speak, “Sect Leader Zhang, I have personally seen your father’s corpse. From the position of the sword, it can be seen that your father was killed without any warning. ”
“This just goes to show that my senior brother was not prepared for Ye Mo Han since he had an old friendship.” What Li Zhixiang said was what the crowd was thinking. This way, Chen Shaochong excused Ye Shaochang, while Li Zhixiang raised his doubts. The two of them sang the same tune, obviously showing off for the audience to see. Ye Chonglou looked at Chen Shaochong’s white hair and laughed in his heart.
“Although Ye Mo Han is indeed the son of Lin Mo Xiao, it’s still Zhang Yiming’s first time seeing him that day. If I may ask, when you see the son of an old friend, a person who became famous right after coming out of the martial arts world, do you not have any wariness? ”
These words were spoken in a stern voice and shook everyone on the square. If everyone were to carefully ponder over Chen Shaochong’s words, they would definitely feel that what he said was within reason. No matter how deep the relationship was, it was still just an old friend. The son of an old friend would more or less have some distance between them. If there was a gap, he would be on guard.
Li Zhixiang was silent. Chen Shaochong turned to Zhang Qingwu and said: “Leader Qingwu, in my opinion, there must be someone else who killed your father, and that person must be someone within the Hua Shan Sect. Your father must have a lot of trust in him, perhaps even a lot of respect.”
Of course, only Lu Jie was worthy of Zhang Yiming’s respect in the Hua Shan Sect. Chen Shaochong’s last sentence directly pointed towards Lu Jiexi. Sure enough, the surrounding Huashan Faction disciples were all talking animatedly, occasionally glancing at Chu Li, Li Zhixiang, and Lu Mingjie.
Seeing that the situation had developed as he had expected, Ye Mo decided to cooperate with Chen Shaochong. “I indeed didn’t kill Martial Uncle Zhang. I went to Mount Hua that day just to ask who was the most vicious person who attacked my father all those years ago. After I asked, I left.”
Ye Jianhan called Zhang Yiming martial uncle, admitting that he was a member of the Hua Shan Sect. At this moment, Zhang Qingwu revealed an imperceptible smile, as if everything was under her control. When Ye Chanhan saw this smile, he suddenly felt a great deal of disgust towards Zhang Qingwu. Of course, in order to deal with Lu Mingjie first, he couldn’t care less.
When Zhang Qingwu heard Ye Mo Han say this, his tears suddenly dropped and he cried, “To tell you the truth, when my father heard that Ye Mo Han had appeared in the martial arts world, he mentioned to me many times that he wanted to betroth me to him. That day, when my father found out that he was coming up the mountain, he was very happy to mention this matter to me.
Zhang Qingwu had been taught by Zhang Yiming since childhood to call Lin Mo Xiao as his aunt, so he still hadn’t changed his mind. Zhang Qingwu paused to ease his emotions, and then said self-reproachfully, “But as a girl, I am naturally very shy about this kind of thing. How would I dare to go with my father to meet a man I don’t know? But I’m really regretful right now. I should listen to my father, so that he won’t be miserably attacked by those despicable people. ”
Lu Mingjie’s face was gloomy, he could not sit still any longer, stepped onto the stage and scolded: “Qingwu, what nonsense are you spouting? That day, Ye Mo Han could personally admit that he killed your father. ”
Zhang Qingwu seemed a bit wronged. “Master, I can be considered your disciple. Do you really believe that he would do something like cheating on Master and exterminating his ancestors?”
Zhang Qingwu’s words were very natural and friendly. When Ye Mo Han heard this, he was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to feel in his heart. Ye Wen looked around, but did not find anything out of the ordinary. But everything was normal, which made it seem even weirder.
Lu Mingjie snorted coldly and ignored Zhang Qingwu. Instead, he called Chu Lijun onto the stage and asked Li Zhi Xiang and Chu Liangshan, “What do you guys think?”
Li Zhixiang bowed towards Lu Mingjie and said, “Master, please find evidence to prove that you cannot commit the crime of chastity in front of all the heroes of the world just by listening to one side of the story. After all, he is the son of senior apprentice sister Mo Xiao. No matter what, he is still a member of our Hua Shan Sect.
Lu Mingjie laughed coldly, muttering a few words to himself, “You do not believe my words, to actually listen to this stinking brat.”
“Great Elder Lu, allow me to say something fair.” A man stood up from the stage and spoke over the noise of the square. This person was around the same age as Ye Wen and Liang Rufeng. He wore a silver-gray robe and had a dignified and graceful expression on his face. He held a folding fan in his hand. He was the eldest son of the Nangong family, Nangong Ping. He was the elder brother of Nangong Ding, killed by Liang Rufeng. He was seventeen years old. He relied on his fan to defeat Sun Muxia’s prideful disciple, Gao Zhenyuan, causing the latter to commit suicide out of shame.
Everyone’s eyes immediately focused on Nangong Ping. Nangong Ping said, “Regarding the matter of Young Master Ye killing Sect Leader Zhang Yiming, we do not need to be too suspicious. We only need to see who will benefit the most after Sect Leader Zhang Yiming is killed.”
After these words, the crowd below the stage burst into an uproar. Everyone understood the meaning behind Nangong Ping’s words. After Zhang Yiming died, Zhang Qingwu ascended the throne. Everyone knew that Lu Qingwu protected him with his name. As an elder figure of the Hua Shan Sect, Lu Mingzi’s influence in the Hua Mountain Sect was much greater than anyone else, especially after Zhang Yiming’s death, he had emerged from the sect and reorganized some internal affairs. Although he did not have the title of Sect Leader, he had the authority of being the Sect Leader. It was obvious that Lu Ming had become the biggest winner after Zhang Yiming’s death. These words from Nangong Ping were no different from identifying Lu Mingjie as the murderer of Zhang Yiming.
Lu Mingjie gave Nangong Ping a sidelong glance, “So what you’re saying is that Young Noble Nangong means that I killed my nephew?”
Nangong Ping bowed towards Zhang Qingwu and said, “I dare not say, but I am on my way to the Hua Shan Road. I met someone who probably knows something.” I wonder if Sect Leader Zhang would allow me to invite this person out? ”
Who was the person Nangong Ping spoke of? Ye Mo Han had already faintly guessed that Lu Mingjie would have a hard time safely passing through today. Perhaps today would be the day of his death. At this moment, he was wondering why Nangong Ping didn’t pay any attention to the murderer of his younger brother. Moreover, from his attitude towards Mo Xiyan, it could be seen that he didn’t care about his younger brother’s death.
