2153 Interrogation

When Chu Liuyue woke up, it was already noon the next day.

Rong Xiu seemed to have just left not long ago. White smoke was still rising from the freshly brewed tea on the table.

She moved her arm, and the red mark on her collarbone was faintly discernible, but her body was very refres.h.i.+ng. She vaguely remembered that Rong Xiu carried her to take a shower later.

Someone is really unscrupulous for the sake of having a daughter… Chu Liuyue’s face was a little hot.

She placed her hands on her face before dressing up and getting up. But probably because she had already broken through to become a legendary warrior, her physical strength was much greater than before.

Although it had been a long time, it didn’t feel too sore or uncomfortable.

Chu Liuyue got up and walked outside. She saw the blond youth guarding outside the courtyard.

He leaned against the moon door and frowned slightly. His expression was solemn, as if he were thinking about something.

His short, soft hair hung down, s.h.i.+ning faintly under the sun.

“Little Zhou.” Chu Liuyue called out, but Qiang Wanzhou seemed to be still immersed in his own thoughts and didn’t reply.

Chu Liuyue walked over and raised her voice slightly. “Little Zhou?”

Only then did Qiang Wanzhou come back to his senses and turn to look at her.

When her face was reflected in his eyes, his expression was adrift for a moment. For a moment, Chu Liuyue even felt that Qiang Wanzhou was looking at another person through her.

She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his face. She smiled and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Qiang Wanzhou’s eyes finally focused, and he quickly shook his head. “Nothing.”

Chu Liuyue found it strange. Something seems to be bothering him.

But since it was something on his mind, he might not want to tell others, so she didn’t ask.

“Why are you here?”

Although he would usually guard her, this courtyard was her and Rong Xiu’s residence. Usually, no one would come. Even if Qiang Wanzhou and the others wanted to guard it, they had to be extremely careful and hide.

It was rare to see someone wait at the entrance of the courtyard in broad daylight.

Qiang Wanzhou stood up straight. “Wei Ze is here. His Grace went over just now and is in the front hall now. His Grace said that he would invite you over when you woke up.”

“Wei Ze? Why is he here?” Chu Liuyue instantly felt that it was ridiculous, and her lips curled up. Could it be because of the Mahayana Sect’s Lin Jiang?

Previously, she had interrogated that man about his background, but he refused to tell her. He even tried to self-destruct, but he was stopped by Rong Xiu in the end.

Could it be that Rong Xiu asked something, or does he have other evidence?

Chu Liuyue had suspected the Wei family before. After all, in the entire G.o.d Residence Realm, there were only a few families that could send legendary warriors as informants.

Excluding those who were clearly unrelated at that time, the range was even narrower. Not to mention, the Wei family had a grudge against her.

“Wei Ze came back with Master Yan Qing,” Qiang Wanzhou said.

Chu Liuyue raised her brows slightly and was even more certain of her guess. This place is extremely far from the Wei family, and it would take a lot of time to go back and forth. Wei Ze actually came so quickly… It seems like Yan Qing is fast enough. No, perhaps it should be said that Rong Xiu is too straightforward.

“Let’s go take a look.”

…

In the front hall, Rong Xiu sat at the top while Wei Ze sat at the bottom left.

Yan Qing was standing guard outside the door.

The atmosphere in the room was cold and stalemate.

Rong Xiu lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea.

The floating leaves were suffused with a faint fragrance and a hint of bitter ginger. He wasn’t used to it in the past, but he liked it very much now.

While he was taking his time, Wei Ze was feeling uneasy.

He was clearly on equal footing with Rong Xiu, and he was even older, but for some reason, he felt that he was inferior to Rong Xiu in terms of aura.

When the fragrance and bitterness of the ginger tea filled his mouth, Rong Xiu put down the teacup.

Da.

The top-notch bone porcelain teacup landed on the table with a neither light nor heavy sound. It was especially clear in the silent room.

Wei Ze’s heart skipped a beat.

“In that case, that fake Lin Jiang really has nothing to do with the Wei family?”

Wei Ze immediately said, “Of course! When the new Gate Realm opened this time, countless aristocratic families went, but our Wei family didn’t partic.i.p.ate from beginning to end. How can this person be related to us?”

“That’s right. Speaking of which, I’m also very curious. Since everyone went, why didn’t the Wei family go? Such a good opportunity… Master Wei is actually willing to miss it?” Rong Xiu looked up at him with a faint smile.

Wei Ze forced a smile and said, “Well… I happened to be delayed by something at that time, so I didn’t have time. Later on, I thought that it was too late to go, so I might as well forget it. Apart from our Wei family, there are actually many aristocratic families who haven’t gone, right? It doesn’t seem strange, right?”

Rong Xiu nodded. “What the family head said makes sense.”

Wei Ze heaved a sigh of relief. “Your Grace, you’ve always been smart. You probably won’t be misled by such an unsubstantiated matter. Since that person is already dead, there’s no evidence now. I’m afraid it’s not easy to find the person behind the scenes—”

Rong Xiu suddenly said, “Who said he’s dead?”

Wei Ze’s expression froze for a moment. The connection between that person and me has been cut off. That person is definitely dead! Moreover, didn’t Yan Qing say the same thing previously?

Rong Xiu’s lips curled up slightly. With a move of his palm, several golden streams of light flew out from his fingers and instantly formed a square golden cage!

There was a red and black ball of light inside—it was the soul of the fake Lin Jiang!

Wei Ze suddenly tightened his grip on the armrest of the chair. It took him a lot of effort to restrain his urge to get up.

However, the shock and panic that flashed across his face didn’t escape Rong Xiu’s eyes.

“This person is reckless. He tried to steal Yue’er’s Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seed and even wanted to pour dirty water on Yue’er. Wouldn’t it be too easy for him to kill him directly?” Rong Xiu smiled slightly. “Master Wei, do you think I’m such a soft-hearted person?”

The corners of Wei Ze’s eyes twitched. Arrogant! How impudent! In the G.o.d Residence Realm, Rong Xiu is notorious, and everyone knows that he isn’t to be trifled with. However, he actually admitted that he is ruthless in front of me… Isn’t he too arrogant?!

Isn’t this clearly threatening me, Wei Ze?

“Then… Then, what did Your Grace find out?” Wei Ze asked with a dry throat.

Rong Xiu lifted his chin. “He’s a sacrificial warrior. We won’t be able to get anything out of him. Now that he’s only left with a soul, it’s even harder to ask.”

Just as Wei Ze’s hanging heart was about to relax, he heard Rong Xiu continue, “However, I discovered a very interesting coincidence. His aura… seems to be quite similar to Master Wei’s. Could it be that Master Wei… has something to say about this?”

Wei Ze immediately denied it. “How is that possible!? Your Grace must have made a mistake! I—”

“Speaking of which, the hammer in the family head’s hand seems to have an extremely similar aura?”

Wei Ze’s voice stopped abruptly.
