The lunch was interrupted so abruptly, Wen Xun was quite surprised by their arrival, and was also surprised by what Lin Shougu said.

How did they determine that Wen Ruan was dead?How can we be sure that Lantern Festival is related to Wen Ruan's death?

Facing Lin Shougu's aggressive questioning, Deng Xiao shrank his neck in fright, showing a pitiful look.From the beginning to the end, he didn't like this Liulan peak master very much, and when he saw him, he quickly hid behind Wen Xun.

Although Wen Xun has just learned his true face, in the eyes of outsiders, he still maintains the image of a thin boy.

For Deng Xiao, as long as his master believes in him, all other people's opinions don't matter.

Wen Xun stood up in front of everyone, and said without changing his expression: "Uncle Lin said that Deng Xiao hid Wen Ruan's body. Is there any evidence? I also heard about Wen Ruan's disappearance, but I didn't see it with my own eyes. Before seeing Wen Ruan's body, Master Lin probably didn't even know whether Wen Ruan was alive or dead, right?"

"Do you want evidence? Go and bring someone here." Shougu Lin ordered the disciples around him, and replied not to be outdone: "On the night Wen Ruan disappeared, someone saw him and Mr. Deng Shaozhuang with his own eyes. There is more than one person. Since nephew Wen Xun has gone to investigate in person, there is no need for uncle to say more here."

As soon as the words fell, the disciples of Liulan Peak brought two people over.One is the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and the other is the proprietress of the teahouse. Wen Xun has met both of them.

Lin Shougu turned to face them, and raised his voice and said: "Look carefully, is he the person you saw that night? Master Deng Shaozhuang, a man who dares to act bravely, you don't even have the guts to do that, do you?" ?”

Knowing that this was Lin Shougu's intentional aggressive method, Wen Xun didn't intend to let Deng Xiao continue to escape, and turned his head and said softly: "Don't be afraid, with Master here, you just need to answer truthfully."

"Well, I believe in Master." Deng Xiao nodded obediently, and slowly walked out from behind him.

The proprietress of the teahouse really looked at it carefully, and said firmly: "It's him, he was the one who met the young master that night. I said it's no wonder his back looks familiar. He often goes in and out of Xuanji Bieyuan on weekdays. I passed by the door of the teahouse for the first time. I am sure I remember correctly, they were going in the direction of the foggy forest."

The shopkeeper of the restaurant scratched the back of his head, unable to tell what expression he had on his face.He didn't seem to see the reason, and reluctantly recalled: "It should be him. The restaurant's business was very good that day, and I didn't pay much attention."

"Uncle Lin concludes that Wen Ruan's disappearance is related to Lantern Festival just based on the words of these two people, which is too hasty." Wen Xun said: "People speak only with one mouth, and some things can be true and false. It can also be said to be true, who can be sure if their words are true or not."

"Are you doubting me?" Skinny Lin looked at Deng Xiao angrily, and said, "Whether it's true or not, Mr. Wen Xun might as well ask Mr. Deng Shaozhuang. If you can't teach your apprentice well, the uncle won't you?" Mind helping you out."

"Deng Xiao is a disciple of Yinlu Peak, so don't bother Mr. Lin." The implication is that this has nothing to do with Liu Lanfeng.

Wen Xun knew very well that Lin Shougu would not let it go, and decided to settle the matter clearly. He turned his head and asked Deng Xiao, "After I parted from you that night, did you go back to Xuanji Bieyuan with Master Deng, or did you go to the other side of the house?" Did you meet Wen Ruan quietly?"

Deng Xiao raised his head and asked, "Master said he would trust disciples, right?"

After getting Wen Xun's answer, Deng Xiao smiled with satisfaction, pursed his lips and said, "I did go to meet Wen Ruan that night."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

Lin Shougu snorted coldly, "The matter has come to this, what else can I say? Master Deng Shao will do this because he wants to get rid of his opponent before Xuandu wins the championship, but you don't know that your deeds have been exposed long ago!"

Deng Xiao said: "It's true that I met Wen Ruan, but I didn't kill him, nor did I take him to the foggy forest."

Wen Xun said: "Then why did you ask him to meet?"

"It's because he suddenly changed his words in the main hall." Deng Xiao said word by word, "I just want to know if Liu Lanfeng saw me that night."

According to what Deng Xiao said, Shuitan was indeed killed by his hands.If so, it is not impossible for him to choose to kill and silence.Thinking about it deeper, maybe he was the one who threatened Wen Ruan that day.

For a moment, Wen Xun fell into deep self-doubt.But he always felt that things would not be so simple.

As Leng Xibie said, Deng Xiao's character is very extreme and stubborn, but he has not yet reached the point of madness.If he really wanted to kill Wen Ruan, he would not have let Mrs. Wen go so easily when he was in the Wen family.

It can be seen from this that in order not to make Wen Xun angry, Deng Xiao is actually very tolerant of Wen's family.

"It's so simple?" Lin Shougu obviously didn't believe this reason, "Since nephew Wen Xun doesn't believe these two personal certificates, my uncle has another way, and that is to visit the guest room of the owner of Deng Shao Zhuang. Deng Shao Zhuang The Lord firmly believes that he did not kill Wen Ruan, so he should not give up this opportunity to prove his innocence."

Deng Xiao said: "If you want to search, just search."

Lin Shougu nodded in satisfaction, and said to the disciples: "Since Master Deng Shao opened his mouth, what are you doing here in a daze? Go to Xuanji Bieyuan."

"Wait." Wen Xun interrupted everyone's actions, and said calmly: "If there is no evidence that he killed Wen Ruan in the lantern room, what will Master Lin plan to do?"

Lin Shougu stroked his beard and said, "If I misunderstood Master Deng Shaozhuang, I will apologize to him in front of all the disciples of Xuanji Sect. But if he really did something to my beloved disciple, I will definitely pay in blood."

He said the last four words very emphatically, and it could be seen that Lin Shougu really valued Wen Ruan as an apprentice.

A group of people left the restaurant and went straight to Xuanji Bieyuan.

It's not yet the end of the day, and the second championship in the afternoon has not yet started.They had just stepped out of the gate of the restaurant when a woman suddenly ran over from the crowd and was stopped by the disciples again.

Lin Shougu stopped his voice and said, "Back off."

"Where is Wen Ruan? You murderer, where did you hide my son!" It was Mrs. Wen who came and rushed to Deng Xiao and grabbed his collar tightly, "I don't care if you are Feng Lin The young owner of the villa is still Wen Xun's apprentice, you must make it clear today."

Mrs. Wen was still making trouble out of no reason as usual, and Wen Xun was no stranger to this.The Wen family also belonged to the Xuanji sect's sword cultivator lineage, and they would definitely attend the triennial Xuandu championship, so it was not surprising that Mrs. Wen would appear in Xuandu.

But what Wen Xun couldn't figure out was why Mrs. Wen was targeting Lantern Festival, or whether someone said something in her ear.

Thinking of this, Wen Xun glanced at Lin Skinny.He thought that this Liulan peak master was just a person who liked to play tricks, but he ignored his heart of saving disciples.

For Lin Shougu, Wen Ruan is his apprentice.For Wen Xun, Deng Xiao is his apprentice.

He won't tolerate Deng Xiao making a big mistake, and it's impossible for him not to save him.

Before Wen Xun could stop Mrs. Wen, she made Mrs. Wen notice him first, "It's all you, you must be the apprentice who instigated you. Wen Xun, you want to be the head of the Wen family, so you secretly resorted to this method , How shameless! Wen Ruan is your cousin, how can you do it!"

There were more and more people watching, and all eyes were on the pair of master and apprentice.

Everyone likes to join in the fun, not to mention that the fun is happening at Xuanji Gate.You know, Wen Xun has become a 'celebrity' in the entire Ziye Xuandu since the news of her pregnancy was announced.

No matter what it is, people tend to prefer to be on the side of the underdog.Because everyone is an ordinary person, usually only empathizes with the weak before knowing the truth.

Madam Wen raised her hand halfway, and suddenly froze in the air.Behind her, Shi Xianyou frowned in disgust, and asked Han Shi to let go of her wrist.

Unexpectedly, this incident would alarm Xuanji's head, and all the disciples present immediately knelt together, including Lin Shougu.

Besides Shi Xianyou, the wandering valley master Bie Jinghua, the Tianyin Pavilion master Qin Kuang and the Yi family's young master Yi Zhuobai came after him.

"I've seen the master." Skinny Lin wiped off his sweat and said in surprise, "Why did the master come here?"

Shi Xianyou didn't even look at him, walked straight up to Wen Xun, and asked softly, "Are you scared?"

Wen Xun shook his head, but Mrs. Wen came forward and cried, "You came at the right time, head. Wen Xun instigated his apprentice to kill my family Wen Ruan, and he refused to admit it. The head must let Wen Ruan be the master."

Unexpectedly, Shi Xianyou just glanced at her indifferently, and asked in a cold tone: "Is there any evidence?"

"Master." Lin Shougu took advantage of this moment to say, "Wen Ruan is a disciple of Liulan Peak, someone can prove that he met Deng Xiao the night he disappeared, and Deng Xiao himself admitted it just now, we are planning to Go to his room and search for evidence."

"Hmm." Shi Xianyou had no intention of talking with him, and protected the people around him, "You suspect that Deng Xiao is the murderer, why are you making things difficult for Wen Xun?"

"This……"

"No need to explain." Shi Xianyou said: "Aren't you looking for evidence? Let's go together."

With Xuanji in charge, Lin Shougu didn't dare to continue to make things difficult for the master and apprentice, and Mrs. Wen also silently retreated to the side, wiping her tears.

People on the street gave way to a wide road and followed behind to Xuanji Bieyuan to join in the fun, waiting for the turning point of this matter.

From a long distance, Wen Xun saw Shuo Xuan's figure in the crowd at a glance, looking at him intently.

But he didn't have a chance to meet with him, so he could only look away silently.

When they arrived at Xuanji Bieyuan, all the disciples waited outside the door, separating the crowd of onlookers.Except for those from Xuanji Sect, no one is allowed to enter, even cultivators from other factions are no exception.

Bie Jinghua crossed her arms and discussed with great interest: "The murderer can't really be the owner of Deng Shao Zhuang, right? Tianyin Pavilion owner, what do you think?"

"Qin has no relationship with the owner of Deng Shao Zhuang, so I dare not make a statement." Qin Kuang has always been humble, even if he knows that this person is a rival in love, he will not lose his grace, "But I believe that little Wen Xun will not tolerate and indulge. "

Bie Jinghua smiled, and suddenly leaned next to him and whispered: "The owner of Tianyin Pavilion seems to have a deep affection for Xun'er? Are you even sure that Xun'er is pregnant with your child? If I say no, Tianyin Will the pavilion master be disappointed?"

Qin Kuang smiled and said, "The word 'also' is used very delicately, but it's not up to Master Bie to decide whether it's not."

Yi Zhuobai frowned, not intending to participate in their conversation.

On the other side, several people came to the courtyard where Deng Xiao lived.

"I don't know that the master is coming, so Deng is far away to welcome him." Hearing the movement outside, Deng Qiangu immediately came out to greet him.

It is impossible for him not to know what happened, but thinking that this is the territory of Xuanji Sect, he did not act rashly.

Shi Xianyou doesn't like to beat around the bush, and always speaks straight to the point, "Wen Ruan, a disciple of Liulan Peak, disappeared without any reason, and he has been a witness before. The master of Liulan Peak suspects that the murderer is the owner of Deng Shaozhuang, so he came to disturb him."

"So that's how it is." Deng Qiangu said: "Deng Xiao, the dog, had an accident since he was 13 years old, that's why he joined the Xuanji Sect. As his father, Deng can guarantee that he will not commit such murderous acts. "

"The one who cleans himself will be cleared." After Shi Xianyou said this, he stepped into the inner courtyard.

Wen Xun slowly took a step behind, and said to Deng Qiangu, "We are here to prove Deng Xiao's innocence, please rest assured, the owner of Deng Xiao."

"Thank you, Mr. Wen." Deng Qiangu sighed helplessly, looking at his only son, his eyes were full of worry.

He will never forget that the Taoist divination for Deng Xiao, the hexagram said that Deng Xiao would not live to be 20 years old.

Lantern took them outside the room, walked ahead and opened the door, and waited outside.

"It's okay." Wen Xun patted him on the shoulder, followed their footsteps into the room.

He still remembered that the last time he came here, he happened to see Deng Xiao returning to his adult form.

In a blink of an eye, it has arrived in Xuandu to win the championship. Who would have thought that there would be so many accidents on the way.

Only three people entered the room, Wen Xun, Shi Xianyou, and Lin Shougu, the master of Liulan Peak.

Wen Xun looked around, but stood still because of his status.Shi Xianyou next to him had no intention of searching, and just watched Lin Shougu rummaging around in the house quietly.

"Have you found anything?" After a while, Shi Xianyou asked lightly.

"Return to the head, not yet." Lin Shougu frowned, unwilling to let go of any corner.

At this time, a secret door suddenly opened slowly in front of them, and a strong smell of blood came out.

After walking over, Wen Xun's face changed suddenly when he saw the scene inside.
