Chapter 43: Strange Murder

It turns out it was you!"

Xu You repeated it again, and many questions that lingered in his mind along the way were finally explained at this moment.

Yuan Qingqi, sitting behind the cloth barrier, seemed to feel something and said lightly: "What does Qilang mean?"

Xu You suddenly grew up and walked towards the Buzhu. Shui Xi had been kneeling beside him, four or five steps away from Xu You, but he didn't see any movement at this time. His figure flashed and he was already blocking his body. He stared at Xu You with his eyes and said softly: "Mr., please stop!"

Xu You stopped, stared at her clear black eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "I was gone, I didn't expect that a weak female lady like you could actually know martial arts..."

Shui Xi just stood there casually, but his momentum changed drastically. He seemed to be a pool of silent and eternal pool water, reflecting the night moon above the void. The wind could not blow a trace of scales, and the rain could not stir up any waves. He could neither see the depth of the water nor the origin and where the water came from.

Soft defeats hardness, weak defeats strongness!

Xu You was shocked. It was not because of how high Shui Xi's martial arts were, at best, that was the level of cultivation that had just been included. But the martial arts she showed at this moment was really too similar to the one he had seen before, so she deliberately tried and took another step forward, and almost stopped when she touched her body.

Shui Xi raised his right hand lightly and pointed like a knife. A soft and peaceful, without aggressive energy blocked the two of them. It was as light as a woman's hand, making people happy and said, "Mr., please stop!"

"The best good is like water, and it is good at benefiting all things without fighting, so no one in the world can fight with it!" Xu You's eyes could no longer hide the surprise, and he said in a lost voice: "What you used is really the Ruoshui Art of the Heavenly Master of Heming Mountain!"

"Shuixi, don't be rude to your husband! Go away!"

"promise!"

Shui Xi smiled at Xu You, and his momentum suddenly disappeared, his head lowered, and he retreated to the side.

"The wind is strong on the pavilion, Qilang might as well walk closer, so you and I can hear clearly."

Xu You slowly let out a breath and calmed his mood. The sudden situation made him feel a little confused. After a moment, his expression returned to normal. He walked to the place within reach of the Qingling cloth barrier and said in a deep voice: "Sanniang, who are you?"

"Oh? Qilang asked this, but A Yuan puzzled..."

"Since I don't understand, I will tell Sanniang one by one. If there is something wrong, please make sure you correct me!"

However, Yuan Qingqi was so stupid that he laughed and said, "Can I not listen?"

Xu You choked and almost came up. His voice couldn't help but grow a few degrees higher, and he said, "No!"

"Okay, just listen, what are you doing so awesome?"

Xu You was simply a little overwhelmed by his life. Fortunately, he was a human being for two lifetimes, and he only had a moment of trance and understood it completely. This was Yuan Qingqi deliberately changing the topic and making jokes to fool him. In this way, he probably had already been exposed to the truth.

"This time I came to Yixing to pick me up, there was a hundred general named Deng Tao. On the surface, he only had a ninth-grade cultivation level, but he used a valuable one-handed spear. Even Feng Tong, who had always looked down on his servants, had a different attitude towards him than others. Later I learned that this general Deng Bai was actually a sixth-grade master. For some reason, he was willing to hide his strength and mix in the Yuan Mansion's army to be a small hundred general."

"If this is the case, I wouldn't have any thoughts. After all, there are many strange people and things in the world, and they have nothing to do with me, so I just hang up. But when facing Feiyao's death pressure, I had an open and honest conversation with Deng Tao. It was also this conversation that made me know that he had been ordered to investigate me, not once or twice, but during the period after I got engaged with you, I had traveled back and forth between Yixing and Jinling dozens of times, and secretly conducted a comprehensive investigation of me in detail."

"I originally thought that the person who ordered him behind the scenes should be Duke Yuan, but when Deng Tao was mentioned in the mansion, Duke Yuan didn't even know that there was such a person. Besides, if it was Duke Yuan's order, I should also investigate my character before the engagement. Why did I make up for the loss after the engagement?"

"So, I thought that the mastermind behind the scenes was probably the other people of the Yuan family, those who didn't like our Xu family, didn't like me very much, and didn't want you to marry into Yixing. They had this motivation. As long as they found unforgivable evidence from my bad deeds, they could force Mr. Yuan to stop this marriage. In addition, only they had this power, because masters like Deng Tao had mysterious origins and could not be assigned at will."

"I had already let go of this matter and just waited to leave Jinling. No matter who the person behind the scenes was, it had nothing to do with me. But today, just now, the information you said about me was three feet high, and I suddenly understood it."

Xu You shook his head, with sincere admiration in his tone, and said, "So, Deng Tao is your person!"

Yuan Qingqi remained silent and said for a while: "I have to say that Qilang is meticulous, but it is a prudent to make a judgment just by just one sentence."

"Deng Tao once said that the saying "Three Feet High" is "Don't tell me, is this a coincidence?"

"It's just a metaphor. Just like you said, before Ah Father got engaged, he naturally conducted relevant investigations. Why didn't I see information about you from Ah Father?"

"No!" Xu You said decisively: "Because Mr. Yuan agreed to this marriage, but you may not agree, or you must not agree. He may not have time to hide this information, and it is impossible for you to read it."

Yuan Qingqi burst out laughing and said, "Why should Qilang be humble? You are not me, so how do you know that I must not agree?"

This is another argument about Zhuangzi's "How can I know the joy of fish if I am not a fish?" Xu You is not in the mood to talk nonsense with her. No, he talks clearly and smiles: "I am not too high-minded, nor too low-minded. A person is the most important thing about being self-knowledge. Sanniang is not famous and beautiful. The wishful husband in her heart will not be a Chuman martial artist like me!"

"Is that true?" Yuan Qingqi stopped smiling, said with a word, "But I look at Qilang, but I look at him more like Xiuya's scholar..."

Xu You felt a stern in his heart. It was still a secret that his martial arts were useless. Unless he was at the level of a fifth-grade junior master or above, it was difficult for ordinary people to see any problems without taking action. Even if he was frivolous and weak, he was just a symptom of serious injury after he was first recovered. He would not think about losing martial arts at all.

Yuan Qingqi just mentioned this casually, or is it that her eyesight is actually so powerful that she can be comparable to the young master?

Xu You didn't want to get entangled on this issue and said, "Sanniang hasn't answered me yet. Are the ones I guess? Or are they?"

The wind blew from the river, and the shattered green silk cloth barrier sounded, as if it was a cup of tea, and it seemed that it would take for a quarter of an hour. Yuan Qingqi said quietly: "Yes, Deng Tao is indeed my person!"

Although he guessed the truth, Xu You still felt a little unbelievable when he heard Yuan Qingqi tell it himself. No matter how popular Yuan Qingqi is, he is just one of Yuan's many children in terms of identity. He is still in the boudoir, and his circle of friends determines that she and Deng Tao are people from two worlds.

Then the question is, how do people from the two worlds connect together?

"Qilang must be surprised, why did Deng Tao listen to my order? In fact, it's nothing to do with telling you. The reason why Deng Tao entered Yuan's Mansion to be a hundred general was because I ordered Feng Tong to arrange a hundred general position for Deng Tao through Ye Xianzhi. He also told Feng Tong not to tell anyone that he had even hidden it, and even his father had hidden it."

Ye Xianzhi is the boss of the Yuan Jie Mansion. Since Feng Tong knows the relationship between Deng Tao and Yuan Qingqi, with his virtue, no wonder he would treat him differently.

"As for how I met Deng Tao, that's another story. It has nothing to do with Qilang. I believe that with Qilang's elegance, I wouldn't have to force me to tell it, right?"

Xu You smiled bitterly and said, "I'm also blamed for realizing it later. Compared with the elders of the Yuan family, you are the one who most hopes to investigate me clearly. This is how the marriage event should have been. Since it has been explained clearly today, it will be over. I have no interest in knowing the others, and there is no need to know them."

Yuan Qingqi whispered: "Whether Qilang believes or not, let Deng Tao investigate you, I have no malice, nor is it a hesitation for marrying or not. Since my father decided to marry Xu, I will not say anything against you, nor will I try to stop this marriage by investigating your bad deeds."

Xu You is a little incomprehensible, so why did you send Deng Tao to investigate me? It's not a paparazzi... But I knew she wouldn't say it, so I didn't ask. I looked at Shui Xi from the corner of my eyes. Ruoshui Jue is the secret of the Tao of Heaven. Except for the contemporary Tianshi Sun Guan who lives in the Tianshi Palace in Heming Mountain, and his seven direct disciples, no one else in the world should know this technique.

"Where did Shuixi learn the Ruoshui Art from?" Xu You suddenly said.

Yuan Qingqi finally gave the first sigh since the meeting, saying, "If I had known that Qilang had been so skillful that he could see the Ruoshui Art she had learned from the flow of Shui Xi's breath, I might not have chosen to come to see you today!"

Xu You was quite satisfied with being able to force this woman, who was extremely talented and mentally, to this point, and smiled and said, "It's not that I'm smart, but that I encountered a bottleneck in my early years. I was taken to Heming Mountain by my father and experienced the wonders of Ruoshui Jue."

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot this section!" Yuan Qingqi muttered in annoyance. It was only at this moment that he had a little bit of his little daughter's posture. Then he changed his tone and said coldly: "Xu You, since you know this secret, today, I'm afraid you can't walk out of this Fengxu Pavilion alive!"
