Imperial Treasure-Chapter 983 - 589: Corpse (Part 2)
As soon as they landed, Gong Jiu and his companions saw Zhong Buli.
Zhong Buli’s eyes were sharp; he spotted Ye Zixu at first glance and sneered coldly.
Another one beside him!
Gong Jiu and Flower Demon: With our extraordinary perceptiveness, we instantly realized this little vixen sees us as rivals in love. Alas, the downside of being too attractive and charismatic~~
Ming Lanyuan greeted Zhong Lang and was about to speak.
Swish!
Boom!
The battle below abruptly stopped.
"Looks like it’s over"
"Too late"
"Seems like a Mountain Hua prison break ~"
Amidst the banter, several people below leaped up, including the Mount Hua Mountain Chief. He landed gracefully like a lone swan and clasped his hands towards the elder monk on the upper platform, "Master Ku Mu, sorry for disturbing your peace"
Monk Ku Mu shook his head and pointed to the subdued prisoner below.
"These people have committed murder and escaped prison, they should face severe punishment, but the decision will be made after the Elders’ Court convenes. As for the breach of The Gate, it’s likely an external conspiracy, further investigation is needed, Master need not worry"
Ku Mu paused, shook his head, and sighed.
Others naturally didn’t understand his meaning.
At this moment.
Swish!
A streak of shadows, like black birds covering the sky, swiftly flew from the forest in the mountains and soon landed.
The first to land was Mu Ziyu, his speed was surprisingly fast.
After landing, many noticed he positioned himself beside Sui Yi, also towards the Mount Hua Mountain Chief and clasped his hands, "Master, I just received instruction to thoroughly investigate all residences on the mountain and check for external foes, and discovered a corpse hidden in a side room"
The Mount Hua Mountain Chief frowned, "What corpse?"
"It’s..." Mu Ziyu hesitated for a moment and said, "It’s Seventh Uncle"
The Mount Hua Mountain Chief’s face changed dramatically, and the two elders of Mount Hua who shot up from behind him reacted strongly.
"What did you say! Old Seventh!"
"Impossible! He isn’t.."
The two elders of Mount Hua showed various expressions.
"Which side room?" one elder demanded fiercely.
Many Mount Hua disciples behind Mu Ziyu looked at Sui Yi.
Gong Jiu and others: Damn! It’s Sui Yi again!
Ming Lanyuan and others: Damn, it’s her again!
Sui Yi: "...."
She also felt it was outrageous, it’s her again...
Swish swish!
The people of Mount Hua had already surrounded Sui Yi.
"Wait" Mu Ziyu frowned and lowly scolded, but was glared at by that elder.
Yi and people like Gong Jiu all drew their weapons.
They are neither members of a sect nor a Noble Clan, and inherently don’t have much say; fighting seems to be the only way!
The only ones with a say are Ye Zixu and Yhan Qingwu.
The former frowned, looked at Mu Ziyu, "Just because of a corpse? During the chaos just now, anyone could have stashed a corpse to frame someone else"
Mu Ziyu looked at Ye Zixu, paused slightly and said, "I know, so no verdict has been made yet, I only hope Master Sui will accompany us to check the corpse, and Master...the current situation is peculiar, if both sides escalate, it might give some schemers an opportunity"
He was quite reasonable, and those words made the elder calm down a bit.
The Mount Hua Mountain Chief gestured, and all Mount Hua people put away their weapons. He approached Sui Yi slowly, "Master Sui, this situation arose suddenly, we can only ask you to come with us, the truth will be revealed, Mount Hua will not be arbitrary"
Sui Yi looked at the Mount Hua Mountain Chief, her gaze shifted, falling on the closed door.
She stared as if it was a long time, though to outsiders, it seemed very long.
Like Yi and people like Ye Zixu.
But Sui Yi only paused for three moments, then shifted her gaze and tapped the trunk of a pine tree three times, then stepped down the stone steps.
What’s this code?
"I’ve heard of Da Yu passing by his home three times but not entering, but never seen someone gazing through a door like this and tapping a tree...woodpecker?"
Zhong Buli walked down the steps, speaking irritably, arriving at the door.
"Hey, Woodhead, you really aren’t coming out? Not worried about your childhood friend getting arrested?"
Gong Jiu and others: Childhood friend, Yi, isn’t it you?
Yi:.....
No sound from inside.
Gong Jiu and others hadn’t time to care about who the childhood friend inside was, they followed Mount Hua people and left.
The Zhong family siblings stood on the platform bowing to the elder monk, next to them a man stood straight, clasped his hands towards the monk, nodded slightly, then asked Zhong Lang, "Is she Sui Yi?"
"Yes, Ninth Uncle, what do you think?"
"This is just the first meeting, how could I know, but it seems she was set up..."
The man called Ninth Uncle glanced at the door.
"Let’s go"
He walked in front, the other two could only follow behind, though Zhong Buli kept looking back.
They didn’t disappear until quite a while.
The door opened.
A person holding a broom started sweeping the floor, one sweep after another.
The elder monk above was still smiling.
"How old is this pine?"
The sound of the broom dragging on the ground paused, and the person also paused.
"Eighteen years"
"Eighteen years...you’ve been here for two years, have you ever been at peace?"
"I have"
"What about now?"
A moment of silence.
"In the serene Buddhist land, no broom can sweep away the dust in your heart... why not go and see?"
"I... cannot"
"Master Uncle, I... might bring her disaster"
The voice was light, a bit cold.
"Sigh~~"
In the side room, Natasha and others were already present, as well as Lv Si and others, a large crowd looked at her with complex expressions.
Sui Yi did not look at them, slowly walked into her room, looked at the corpse on the ground, tilted her head slightly, seemingly pondering.
The Mount Hua Mountain Chief had already arrived. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
