The next moment, the fourteen guards disappeared from the spot. Only Qi Xing in front of the door and a guard did not move. Liu Yuntian closed the door again and returned to Yuan Sheng. "Master Yuan Sheng, I am sorry to have embarrassed you. There are some rats in the house."

Then he walked to the table, picked up another piece of fruit, took a bite, and analyzed it, "Now there is only one thing I don't understand, how did Ye Xinglan recruit strong people right under my nose?"

After chewing for a few times, he turned around and looked at Yuan Sheng, "The princess died outside the city, not far from your Wan'an Temple. If she was assassinated, the servants would definitely scream. How could you not know?"

Yuan Sheng stood up, his cassock shifted a little, and he quickly walked to Liu Yuntian, saying in a lost voice, "It must have been done by someone I know. Only if it was someone I know, they wouldn't be on guard... Commander Qu... It must be Qu Wenwu!"

Liu Yuntian stretched out his index finger and shook it. "No, Qu Wenwu could indeed have done it, but he is highly suspicious. Moreover, he was transferred to the National Defense Army by my people who followed the entire process. He did not have the time to commit the crime."

"Process?" Yuan Sheng was puzzled for a moment, then an anxious and irritable look appeared on his face, as if he was blaming himself for thinking about these useless terms at this time. He quickly answered, "It must be Ye Xinglan. Mei'er has always treated him as her own brother. She cares about him wholeheartedly and trusts him very much!"

"Master Yuan Sheng, you are obsessed."

Liu Yuntian ate the fruit in his hand in a few bites, threw it on the ground casually, and wiped his hands on his sleeves. "Even when His Majesty is in seclusion, there will be eunuchs following him. If he disappears from the palace for a moment, it will definitely alarm the palace. This is why I said that there is a rat in Daliang."

"Who is this person who is familiar with your daughter and Ye Xinglan, but we don't know, and who is also very powerful? Most importantly, he has to know your relationship with the eldest princess!"

At this point, Yuan Sheng also fell into deep thought, "Each of the conditions is met individually, but if all the conditions are met, I can't think of anyone who can do it."

"Mei'er, apart from me and the Ye family, it's impossible for you to know other immortal cultivators!"

Yuan Sheng answered confidently, "There is no such person, I am very sure of that!"

Liu Yuntian smiled and said, "Master Yuan Sheng, I think you are so anxious that you have lost your mind. Since I have already said that it is someone we don't know, then you definitely can't think of it, but it doesn't mean that there is no such person."

Speaking of this, Liu Yuntian also reflected on whether his analysis had overlooked something. As far as he knew, there was another person who met the requirements, and that was - Ye Ling!

Although he was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage and could kill the princess and her entourage, he definitely couldn't do it quietly. This was something that only a Jindan cultivator could do. But his opponent was the son of luck, and fighting against a higher level person was as easy as drinking water and farting.

But the contradiction is that Ye Ling is not liked by Ye Xinglan and has always been neglected. Instead, he is closer to Ye Mei. It was Ye Mei's help that enabled him to become the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard.

If Ye Xinglan asked him to kill Ye Mei, he would definitely not listen. Moreover, according to the report from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he had been exiled to the frontier before Ye Xinglan came out of confinement. If he turned back halfway, Liu Yuntian would definitely know nothing about it.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuntian smiled and looked at Yuan Sheng, "Master Yuan Sheng, is there a possibility that the princess was killed by me?"

Yuan Sheng shook his head. "There is absolutely no such possibility. Although you are highly suspected, you have always killed people in an upright manner. Besides, Mei'er's death will only harm you and not benefit you!"

"No, no, I was the one who killed the princess!"

"what?!"

Yuan Sheng's expression changed drastically. He quickly took a few steps back and wanted to take something out of his arms. Then he felt nothing and quickly raised his hand to summon the Zen stick and put it against his chest.

Seeing Yuan Sheng's panic, Liu Yuntian couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Master Yuan Sheng, you have lived for so long, why are you so naive?"

"What does Mr. Liu mean?!"

Liu Yuntian walked up to Yuan Sheng and raised his hand to press down the other's Zen stick. "I am just a mortal who has not yet established a foundation. You are a great master in the late Jindan stage. Are you afraid that I will harm you?"

At this point, Yuan Sheng reacted, his face full of embarrassment, and he slowly put down his Zen stick.

Liu Yuntian continued, "Although you and I both know who did it, the world doesn't know. If this gets out, I, Liu Yuntian, will definitely be the number one suspect."

"Using this insult to slander me is indeed a bit low-class, but if the eldest princess is your daughter, then it is not low-class, but rather very smart."

"I didn't know the relationship between you two, so the first stop to investigate the death of the eldest princess was Wan'an Temple. Yuan Sheng was furious when his daughter was killed, and Liu Yuntian was arrogant and unreasonable."

"When the fire is burning, if a fight breaks out, the fisherman will return with a full load!"

Yuan Sheng widened his eyes, "What kind of whirlpool has Mei'er fallen into..." Then he cried sadly, "My Mei'er... Daddy didn't protect you well..."

Liu Yuntian sighed and felt a chill on his back. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. If his father had not reminded him before and informed him of the eldest princess' death in advance, he might have really been in trouble this time. With his temper, he would not have sat down to talk with Yuan Sheng. He would have called on the sixteen personal guards to rush forward, hack Yuan Sheng to death with swords, and then loot the Wan'an Temple.

It would be fine if Yuan Sheng was hacked to death by an ordinary Buddhist elder. The other party would at most denounce him and would not dare to declare war easily because they did not know the strength of Daliang. But if Yuan Sheng was a candidate for the Buddha's disciple, it would be different. The Buddhist sect would certainly not let it go!

All the candidates have been killed. Even if they are afraid of Daliang, they have to fight. Even if the Buddhist sect has to fight until all their troops are wiped out, otherwise if the news gets to the ears of the Buddhist holy land in Zhongzhou, their Buddhist sect will definitely be blamed!

He might even send a powerful person to personally take action against Liu Yuntian to restore his reputation!

What a good plan! One thing leads to another! The open plan comes first, and the secret plan comes later! Telling Ye Xinglan that Ye Mei's death was caused by Ye Mei, and then threatening him with the name of a traitor, so that he dares not speak out, and then venting his anger on Yuan Sheng, Yuan Sheng just got the news that he had lost his daughter and would not swallow his anger anymore, and give in to him.

There will definitely be a fight!

Old Liutou, I take back what I said before, you can still help me!

Liu Yuntian came back to his senses and smiled gently at Yuan Sheng, "Master Yuan Sheng, are you afraid of pain?"

"Ah?" Yuan Sheng, with tears on his face, suddenly became confused.

"If you want to catch the rat, you have to use some self-torture tactics. If we don't clash, how could the rat show up?"

The next moment, before Yuan Sheng could figure out the key, Liu Yuntian screamed in pain,

"Qixing Fuxin! Protect me, Yuansheng wants to kill me!!!"
