Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 123: Resisting the crime of murder and confessing Lin Yiming

Ye Feng came to the ancestral temple. As soon as he entered, he saw the man in black who had assassinated him lying on the ground, with a rope that was faintly glowing tied around his body.

The candlelight in the ancestral hall was very bright. Even though Ye Feng was severely myopic and had cataracts, he could still see the killer's face clearly.

Ye Feng shouted, "It's you, Brother Xu!"

Xu Kai looked ashen.

Fatty Yulong was a little surprised and said, "Feng'er, you knew it was him? Have you recovered your memory?"

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "No, Master, when you took him away earlier, you left his sword in the bamboo forest.

Over three months ago, he used his immortal sword to carry me back from the herb garden to Xingluo Peak. I carefully observed his immortal sword at that time and found it very similar to the sword left behind by the killer tonight, so I guessed it was Senior Brother Xu.

Fatty Yulong suddenly realized.

At the same time, he cursed in his heart.

I am already an old man of nearly four hundred years old. How could I make such a mistake and drop Xu Kai's sword? This is really wrong.

Ye Feng stretched out his leg and kicked Xu Kai, saying angrily: "When I was in the Discipline Academy, you brought me food every day. I always thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to want to kill me! Don't think that because you are the disciple of Fourth Uncle, I dare not kick you. I will kick you to death..."

He kicked Xu Kai several more times in a row.

Fatty Yulong pulled it away and said, "Feng'er, that's enough."

Ye Feng, who was furious, reached out and grabbed a piece of fruit on the altar as usual, and ate it with a smacking sound.

This scene left Master Yulong dumbfounded.

This disciple of mine is so rude. This is the ancestral temple, and he even dares to eat the offered fruits. Isn't he afraid that the ancestors of all generations will have nothing to eat and will go to him when they are hungry in the middle of the night?

Fatty Yulong is also a person who doesn't care about trivial matters.

He quickly collected his thoughts, turned to look at Xu Kai, and said, "Xu Kai, you can speak now."

Xu Kai's eight extraordinary meridians were blocked at this moment, and he was like an ordinary person. He was kicked several times by Ye Feng just now, and he was grimacing in pain.

He struggled hard, sat up, and said, "Sixth Uncle, what...what do you want to know?"

Fatty Yulong thought for a moment and said, "First, let's talk about who harmed Feng'er more than three months ago."

Xu Kai was silent for a moment, then said, "It was me. Last time, I personally buried Junior Brother Ye Feng in the mass grave behind Luoxia Peak."

Ye Feng also calmed down at this moment.

He had been using the existing clues to deduce the whole situation.

He felt that Xu Kai should just be a pawn, a small cannon fodder, and there must be someone behind him, and it was most likely his fourth uncle.

Although Ye Feng was the victim in this matter, he did not dare to express his opinion casually. He squatted in front of the altar and watched his master interrogate Xu Kai quietly.

Master Yulong is not easy to fool.

He said, "Oh, was it you who did that last time?"

Xu Kai nodded slowly.

Master Yulong asked, "What exactly happened?"

Xu Kai said, "One night three months ago, Ye realized he was in danger. He packed his things and planned to escape from the medicine garden overnight and head north. I followed him secretly. When he passed the northern beast garden, he left a small bag outside the room of a female outer sect disciple who was in charge of the beast garden. Then, Junior Brother Ye headed east to the bamboo forest.

I quietly showed up and opened the small package he left at the girl's door, and found a thousand-year-old fairy fungus and a letter inside.

The general content of the letter was that Junior Brother Ye had poisoned the elephant that Miss Xiaoman was raising, causing her to be punished by the zoo manager. He felt very guilty and wanted to escape for his life. He didn't know if he could escape the Tianyun Mountains, so he left a fairy fungus for Miss Xiaoman as compensation.

Hearing this, Ye Feng secretly said: "That's right, that's right, I was wondering why a thousand-year-old fairy ganoderma was missing, it turns out that fairy ganoderma was the one I gave to Miss Xiaoman myself. This also explains why Miss Xiaoman's cultivation suddenly became so high!"

Master Yulong was a little confused.

I didn't expect that the interrogation of the case of my great disciple would involve the little girl Xiaoman.

From the very beginning when Miss Xiaoman appeared in Fenglingju, Master Yulong had doubted Miss Xiaoman's identity.

How could an ordinary menagerie disciple, so young, reach the Sumeru realm quietly?

If the Yunhai Sect had a disciple with such good qualifications, he would have been poached by the elders of various sects long ago. It is estimated that even the sect leader would have reached out to snatch him away.

Now it is understood that Ye Feng poisoned the elephant raised by Xiaoman, causing Xiaoman to be punished. He felt guilty, so before packing up and running away, he secretly gave Xiaoman a thousand-year-old fairy ganoderma.

After figuring it out, Fatty Yulong said, "Xiao Man is in my courtyard now. She should have eaten that fairy mushroom, but she doesn't seem to know that it was given to her by Feng'er. Xu Kai, what's going on?"

Xu Kai said: "In fact, I have long known that the stolen spiritual herbs and immortal fungi from the medicine garden were stolen by Junior Brother Ye in order to please Senior Sister Xiaorou.

At that time, I thought that if there was any hidden danger to Senior Sister Xiaorou, I would blame it on that Xiaoman girl.

So that night I didn't take the Xianzhi, I only took the letter that Junior Brother Ye left for Miss Xiaoman."

Master Yulong suddenly realized and motioned Xu Kai to continue.

"After I took the letter, I was afraid that others would find the fairy fungus, so I quietly slipped it into the little girl's room through the small window, and then continued to follow Junior Brother Ye.

I entered the forest east of the zoo and arrived at the grave of the elephant that Junior Brother Ye had poisoned. Seeing no one around, I appeared and killed him. Then, I transported Junior Brother Ye's body to the mass grave behind Luoxia Peak overnight and buried it, along with the bag and sword he had brought with him.

Although I don't have much contact with Junior Brother Ye on a daily basis, he is, after all, Sixth Uncle's disciple. When I buried him, I threw two silver coins with him. I should be able to find those things when I go to the mass grave now."

Ye Feng said, "No need. I dug out the things yesterday. Master, what this kid said is right. I did dig out the bundle, sword, and silver from the place where I was buried."

After hearing Ye Feng's words, Master Yulong nodded slightly.

Since Xu Kai explained exactly where the two ingots of silver were, it was clear that he was indeed the one who did it.

This mystery has been cleared up for everyone.

Master Yulong was silent for a moment, then said, "Xu Kai, now tell me why you wanted to kill Feng'er. What secret did he know about you?"

Xu Kai showed hesitation on his face.

Obviously, his secret is much more serious than the fact that he buried Ye Feng.

He could calmly take all the blame for Ye Feng's murder.

Although he was not the real murderer, but just the person responsible for burying the body, it didn't matter.

Now when he was asked to tell the secret behind Ye Feng's murder, he was still struggling in his heart.

Master Yulong said, "Xu Kai, at this point, you have no choice but to tell the truth."

Xu Kai lowered his head and sighed softly.

"Sixth Uncle, I didn't mean to kill him. I was just following orders."

"I know. Tell me who ordered you to do this."

Xu Kai: "Yes...it's Senior Brother Lin Yi."

When Ye Feng heard Lin Yi's name, his expression froze.

He cried out in disbelief: "Senior Brother Lin Yi? How could it be him!"

Master Yulong didn't seem surprised at all.

Xu Kai is now hugging Lin Yi's thigh, and the two are walking very close. Yulong already has some guesses about this.

He gestured for Xu Kai to continue.

Xu Kai said: "This is a long story... About a year ago, Senior Brother Lin Yi joined the Beast Spirit Academy, and the medicine garden also came under the jurisdiction of the Beast Spirit Academy.

Once, Lin Yi went to inspect the herb garden and met his junior brother Ye Feng.

The uncle should know that Junior Brother Ye has a habit of stealing, and he is very clever in stealing the map from Senior Brother Lin.

Senior Brother Lin didn't know that the map in his arms had been stolen at the time. He only discovered it later, but he didn't think that it was Junior Brother Ye who stole it. He thought it was lost somewhere.

That map was a map of Tianyun Mountain. Most people couldn't tell what the marked areas represented. After searching for several months without any results, nothing happened and the matter gradually passed.

About four months ago, one day, Junior Brother Ye found Senior Brother Lin privately and said that he had stolen Senior Brother Lin's map.

At first, Junior Brother Ye didn't take the map seriously.

However, the medicinal garden where Junior Brother Ye was located was very close to Lihuo Peak. One time when he strolled near Lihuo Peak, he remembered the map again. After a period of investigation, he discovered the secret on the map.

Junior Brother Ye wants Senior Brother Lin to give him fifty purple crystal spirit stones as hush money.

Senior Brother Lin felt that even if Junior Brother Ye was given the Spirit Crystal, he would still be a hidden danger, so he asked me to find an opportunity to silence him."

Xu Kai blamed everything on Lin Yi.

He had no feelings for Lin Yi, but more hatred.

It should have been Lin Yi who came to kill Ye Feng tonight, but Master Yulong came back, and Lin Yi didn't dare to do it, so he asked Xu Kai to do it.

Xu Kai knew that Master Yulong was very smart, and if he took on all the responsibilities, Master Yulong would not believe it.

After all, with his cultivation level and status, it is impossible for him to know the specific location of the spiritual vein, let alone understand how to absorb the spiritual power of the earth vein.

Lin Yi is the true disciple of the head master and has a very special status. Pushing him out may make Uncle Yulong believe him and thus protect the person hiding in the deepest part.

Master Yulong asked, "Are you saying that the person behind you is Lin Yi?"

Xu Kai nodded and said, "Not bad."

"Impossible, Lihuo Peak was once one of the four veins of Yunhai, and the seal of its formation is very powerful, which is not something Lin Yi can open.

Moreover, this kind of secret absorption of spiritual veins cannot unlock all the seals, it can only open a gap in the seal to avoid being discovered. This is even more difficult. Lin Yi has just entered the Guiyuan realm, he definitely does not have this ability...

Xu Kai, it has come to this, why don't you tell the truth? "

Xu Kai looked up at Master Yulong and said, "Sixth Uncle, everything I said is true. Every step I took was directly arranged by Lin Yi. I really don't know if there is someone behind Lin Yi... I am just a small figure, I don't know much."

Master Yulong stared into Xu Kai's eyes. Through Xu Kai's eyes, he actually found that this boy's eyes were sincere and it seemed that he was not lying about this matter.
