Zuo Ruotong and Lu Xuan exchanged a glance, then sighed softly.
"Yan'er, come with me."
Subsequently, led by Zuo Ruotong, Zhuge Yan also arrived at a mourning hall.
On the floor of the mourning hall, several corpses were covered with white sheets.
Around the mourning hall, the guests who had not yet left all wore solemn expressions.
"This is outrageous! To actually attack Brother Duan while he's attending his birthday banquet is utterly lawless!"
"This killer simply doesn't respect anyone!"
"If this matter isn't thoroughly investigated and brought to a clear conclusion, it will be an outrage against humanity!"
……
Amid the murmurs of the crowd, Zhuge Yan stepped forward and slowly lifted the white cloth in the center.
The next second, the face of his father, Zhuge Duan, came into view.
Originally, Zuo Ruotong had predicted that Zhuge Yan would be heartbroken when he saw his father's corpse.
After all, no matter how mature he is, he is still just a child under fifteen years old.
To everyone's surprise, Zhuge Yan was eerily calm as he looked at his father Zhuge Duan's body.
He only glanced deeply at the loose thread around his father Zhuge Duan's neck before covering him with the white cloth again.
"Yan'er..."
Zuo Ruotong opened her mouth, about to say something, but the next second, Zhuge Yan suddenly knelt down and kowtowed twice to him and Lu Xuan.
"Master, Uncle Lu, thank you for collecting my father's body, allowing him to rest in peace."
"Nephew, please rise quickly!"
Lu Xuan rushed forward and quickly helped Zhuge Yan up from the ground.
"Not to mention that you and Jin'er are fellow disciples, the Lu family and the Wuhou Sect have always been on good terms, and moreover, your father was killed on his way to attend the Lu family's birthday banquet."
Both morally and logically, this is what our Lu family should do.
"Rest assured! My Lu family will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and bring the culprit to justice, restoring justice to the Wuhou Sect!"
"Thank you, Uncle Lu, but... no need."
Zhuge Yan shook his head, then turned his gaze to Zuo Ruotong beside him.
"Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you back to the sect this time."
"I wish to take my father's remains back to our clan for a proper burial."
Zuo Ruotong frowned and gave his apprentice a deep look.
His intuition told him that something was very wrong with Zhuge Yan's current state!
Generally speaking, after learning that a loved one has been murdered, shouldn't the first question be who the murderer is?
But why hasn't my disciple mentioned this at all since last night?
Could it be...?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Zuo Ruotong.
"Yan'er, do you already know who killed your father?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was startled, and then all eyes turned to Zhuge Yan in the mourning hall.
However, despite the gazes of the crowd, Zhuge Yan's expression remained as still as stagnant water.
He didn't speak, he just kept his head down and remained silent.
Upon seeing this scene, Zuo Ruotong vaguely realized something.
"Yan'er, come with me first."
"Yes."
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the master and apprentice left the mourning hall one after the other.
Watching Zhuge Yan's receding figure, Zhang Zhiwei was about to take a step, but was stopped by Zhang Jingqing's gaze.
"Master, can't we... do something to help?"
Zhang Zhiwei was so anxious that he couldn't help but scratch his head.
"I have already asked someone to contact the Xiangxi corpse-driving lineage."
Zhang Jingqing spoke calmly.
"Is that all?"
"Otherwise what?"
"Please help us find the real culprit!"
"How can we investigate? Where should we even begin? The scene was spotless; there wasn't even a trace of struggle. How am I supposed to investigate?"
"That can't be right. Zhuge Yan's father was, after all, the head of the Wuhou faction. How could he not even have the ability to resist?"
"Yes...why is that?"
Zhang Jingqing narrowed her eyes, a look of seriousness flashing in them.
Just as the head of the Lu family said, if the murderer dared to attack and kill guests on the day of the Lu family's birthday banquet, then it was not necessarily just aimed at the Wuhou Sect, but also possibly at the prestigious Lu family.
Moreover, in Zhang Jingqing's memory, there are definitely no more than five people in the entire world of superhumans who can kill a clan leader with a single blow, even if it is just a sneak attack!
The truth of the matter is becoming increasingly elusive...
Meanwhile, in the woods.
Seeing that no one was around, Zuo Ruotong finally stopped.
He turned around and stared intently at Zhuge Yan.
"Yan'er, you've unlocked the secret, haven't you?"
Just now in the mourning hall, everyone's attention was drawn to the news of Zhuge Duan's death, but only Zuo Ruotong noticed.
Since Zhuge Yan woke up this morning, he has stopped maintaining the Reverse Life Triple Technique.
The best evidence is that Zhuge Yan's hair has returned to its normal black color.
"Um."
Zhuge Yan nodded, without denying it.
"I remember you once told me that your secret, now that it's activated, automatically blocks out all emotions, retaining only the most rational thinking, right?"
"Yes, Master."
Zhuge Yan nodded again.
"So you plan to use this method to numb yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yan fell silent.
"No, your personality shouldn't be the kind that chooses to escape."
Otherwise, you wouldn't have had such a falling out with Jin'er that day over the woman's husband's death.
After saying that, Zuo Ruotong stared intently at Zhuge Yan, as if she could see through all the thoughts hidden beneath his mysterious words.
"Yan'er, do you already know something, which is why you used the mystery to forcibly suppress your emotions so you could avenge your father?"
Zhuge Yan remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.
"Yes, Master. The reason I suddenly fainted yesterday was not just because I heard the news of my father's death and was so terrified."
Furthermore, the disciple, suppressing his grief, performed a divination within his inner vision.
"Oh?"
A glint of light flashed in Zuo Ruotong's eyes.
"You figured it out?"
What puzzled Zuo Ruotong was that when faced with her question, Zhuge Yan first nodded, but then shook his head.
"Yan'er, what do you mean by this?"
Zuo Ruotong frowned.
"Master, I don't want to talk about the truth behind this matter, and I won't talk about it. Please don't force me."
"you……"
Zuo Ruotong was furious, but she couldn't do anything about her disciple.
He knew that although his disciple seemed gentle on the surface, he was just as stubborn as anyone else!
Once he's made up his mind about something, even I, his master, have absolutely no way to change it!
