On a secluded road, a Mercedes-Benz saloon car slowly drove away from Cloudmist Mountain.
“Stop the car!”Cao Yuan suddenly said.
The driver hastily stepped on the brakes.
Cao Yuan looked at the youth beside him and said, “Don’t hold it in, it’s not good for your body.”
The youth quickly pressed the glass and stuck his head out of the window.
“Pfft!”
A mouthful of blood was spat out.
He had thrown three punches against Ye Qiu, and on the third punch, he was not only knocked back a dozen steps by Ye Qiu, but also suffered internal injuries.
However, he had been holding it back and not showing it, but he didn’t expect that it was still discovered by Cao Yuan.
“I’m sorry Sect Master, I’ve disgraced you.”The youth said guiltily.
“There’s no harm, Xiao Qingdi was defeated in his hands, let alone you.”Cao Yuan then asked the youth, “What do you think of Ye Qiu?”
“Strong!”After the youth finished speaking, he felt that what he said wasn’t accurate enough and added, “Very strong! Ye Qiu’s stance is comparable to a Dragon Ranking expert, if he goes to compete for the Dragon Ranking next year, he might be able to be among the top ten.”
“Where is the information I asked you to check?”
“It’s all in here.”
The youth handed a tablet computer to Cao Yuan.
Cao Yuan opened the computer and carefully browsed through the information.
Three minutes later.
Cao Yuan closed the computer and said, “Ye Qiu’s mother is actually the first lady of the Qian Family, a century-old prestigious family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it’s really unexpected. Why is there no information about his father on it?”
“I checked and couldn’t find out.”
“Can’t find out?”Cao Yuan raised his eyebrows.
The youth said, “This matter is very strange, it’s as if he doesn’t have a father.”
“Have Vermilion Bird look into this matter and tell her that she must find out who Ye Qiu’s father is!”Cao Yuan ordered.
“Yes!”
Cao Yuan asked again, “Where are the remains of those brothers?”
“I’ve stored them in the freezer and am going to bring them back to the capital for cremation once the matter in Jiangzhou is over.”The youth said.
“Immediately send them back to the capital for cremation. In addition, give each of them a pension of two million for their families.”
“Sect Master, according to the rules, each person’s family can only take a maximum of one million in pension.”
“The extra million given will be paid by me personally.”Cao Yuan said, “They died protecting me, I can’t treat their families poorly, do as I say.”
“Yes!”
Cao Yuan closed his eyes.
The youth wanted to speak.
“Ask whatever you want!”Cao Yuan said indifferently.
“Sect Master, there’s a question I can’t understand, obviously you already know that your assassin is from the Witch God Cult, why did you still let Ye Qiu track down the murderer?”The youth asked suspiciously.
Cao Yuan opened his eyes and smiled, “Don’t you think Ye Qiu is a talent?”
The youth came to a realisation and said : “I see, Sect Master, you want to test Ye Qiu?”
“The child is teachable!”Cao Yuan followed and ordered, “Erase the traces of the murderer and don’t give Ye Qiu any help or information.”
“If this is done, then it will be hard for Ye Qiu to find out the murderer.”The youth continued, “Sect Master, you only gave Ye Qiu three days, if he can’t find the murderer by then, are you really going to kill the Dragon King?”
“Yes. If Ye Qiu can’t find the murderer, then he must kill the Dragon King.”Cao Yuan said, “I’m the Dragon Sect’s Sect Master, if even I don’t keep my promise, then how can I order 100,000 Dragon Sect brothers? Besides, a person who is about to die would have been of little value.”
“A person who will die?”The youth was puzzled.
Cao Yuan said, “The Dragon King has been suffering from parasites for many years and is dying.”
So it was like this.
The youth continued, “Sect Master, of the murderers who assassinated you last night, five were executed on the spot, two more were killed by Han Long, and the remaining one escaped after injuring Han Long.”
“Check! Find this guy for me!”
“Yes.”The youth continued, “Sect Master, the Witch God Cult has sent people to assassinate you several times, should we move them?”
A cold light appeared in Cao Yuan’s eyes, and he said in a cold voice, “Now is not the time to move them, wait until I have swept away the world, then move them, at that time, no matter if he is the Witch God or the Plague God, destroy them all together.”
……
Courtyard.
Straight after Cao Yuan left, the Dragon King and Zhao Yun got up from the ground, both of their faces were pale, and the panic between their brows had yet to dissipate.
Ye Qiu was no better, the clothes on his vest were soaked with cold sweat.
The Dragon King sighed: “Little Ye, you shouldn’t have come today, I was already about to die, it’s the same if I die early or late, even though you saved my life, you were also dragged into it, it’s not worth it.”
Ye Qiu said to the Dragon King, “You mustn’t say that, last night in the Crystal Palace you and Brother Zhao went out of your way to call the shots with Xiao Qing Di for my sake, and even caused you guys to be injured, compared to how much you guys have helped me, this little bit of what I did is simply insignificant.”
“No matter what, I owe you another favour, thanks.”The Dragon King said gratefully.
Zhao Yun also said, “Ye Qiu, I’ve made you my brother, in the future, if there’s anything, just look for me, no matter if it’s a mountain of daggers or a sea of flames, I’m obliged to do it.”
The smile on Ye Qiu’s face tightened and he said, “If you want to solve this matter completely, you still have to find the murderer.”
“Leave this matter to me, I will immediately arrange for someone to find the murderer.”Zhao Yun said, “Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find the murderer.”
“You’re thinking too simply, the murderer isn’t that easy to find.”The Dragon King said.
At once, both Ye Qiu and Zhao Yun turned their gazes to the Dragon King.
The Dragon King followed and added, “Think about it, the Nine Thousand Years old is the Dragon Sect’s Sect Leader, he is surrounded by experts, it’s hard for an ordinary person to even get close to him, not to mention assassinating him, but last night, the murderer killed a few of his guards, and almost killed his righteous son, what does that mean? It means that the murderer not only has extraordinary skills, I’m afraid that his origin is not small. Trying to find the murderer in three days is as hard as heaven.”
Zhao Yun said, “But we can’t not look for it, if we can’t find the murderer in three days, you will die and Ye Qiu will have to break an arm.”
“I only said that it won’t be easy to find the murderer, I didn’t say not to look for it.”The Dragon King looked at Ye Qiu with complicated eyes and sighed, “Little Ye, in fact, you shouldn’t have agreed to the Nine Thousand Year Old’s conditions earlier.”
“Why?”
“You could have been doing your job as a doctor in peace, saving lives and helping the injured, and with your medical talent, you will surely become a generation of miracle doctors in the future, but you agreed to the Nine Thousand Years old’s search for the murderer, which means that, from this moment onwards, you are going to step into the Jianghu. The jianghu is not a good place with swords and daggers!”
“Dragon King, what do you mean by that?”Ye Qiu didn’t understand.
The Dragon King said, “Do you remember what the Nine Thousand Years said? He said that there is nothing in this world that he can’t find out as long as he wants to.”
Shock appeared on Ye Qiu’s face as he asked, “You mean that the Nine Thousand Years Old already knew who his assassin was?”
“This is inevitable.”
“Then why does he still want me to find the murderer?”After Ye Qiu asked this, he suddenly came to a sudden realisation and said, “He’s testing me?”
“Hmm.”The Dragon King nodded slightly.
Ye Qiu then understood why Cao Yuan said that he hoped not to disappoint him when he left, so he was testing himself.
If I find the murderer, won’t I have passed the test?
Then after passing the test, what would Cao Yuan do to me?
Let me join the Dragon Sect?
Forget it, whether it’s a test or not, it’s better to find the murderer first.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu asked the Dragon King, “Where was the Nine Thousand Years Old assassinated last night?”
“The Light Hotel.”
“I only have three days, let’s go to the scene now before it’s too late.”
