The whole sect is full of villains, but the junior sister has a hole in her brain

Chapter 227 Suspicion of Shen Jiao

The next day, when Chao Zhao opened the door of the room in high spirits, he saw three people already sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Fu Xunying and Wen Lianchong were still normal, but Ji Shu's eyes were dark and bruised, and he was obviously in poor condition and looked listless.

She walked over and asked him curiously, "Did you go out to have an affair in the middle of the night?"

"..."

Ji Shu raised his eyes to look at her with resentment and then lowered them weakly.

"What happened."

Chao Zhao picked up the still hot bun on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

Fu Xunying: "Three servants of the Shen family died in the middle of the night yesterday, and Huo Aoran interrogated the captured half-demon overnight."

"If nothing unexpected happens, those half-demons won't live long."

Wen Lianchong took over her words.

When he came here this morning, he saw a group of disciples from aristocratic families walking out of the Shen family dungeon with blood on their hands.

Chao Zhao paused holding the bun.

Glancing at the three people present, she couldn't help but ask, "...Don't tell me you went to perform an autopsy in the middle of the night?"

"Correct!"

Fu Xunying seemed to be waiting for praise and could not wait to respond, "Ji Shu dug the soil! Wen Lianchong and I checked it!"

"...Thank you for taking me with you."

The memories that Ji Shu had buried with great difficulty were forcibly awakened by Fu Xunying, and his already bad complexion became even worse.

"cough."

Chao Zhao couldn't help laughing, but Ji Shu stared at her with an accusing look on his face, so Chao Zhao had to cover it up with a light cough.

"What did you find?"

"They were sucked dry. They have two holes in their arms."

"Drain?"

Chao Zhao raised an eyebrow, "The Fallen Demon Alliance actually has demon-sucking people? They would take such a big risk just to suck three servants dry?"

And if the Fallen Demon Alliance wanted to give a warning to the Aristocratic Family Alliance, why did they have to pick three servants who were of no importance to the Shen family?

Obviously, it is more intimidating to attack Shen's disciples.

"I suspect it's not a demon, nor a half-demon."

Fu Xunying told what she found on the corpse yesterday.

"...sucked by humans?"

Chao Zhao's mouth twitched, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Is there an evil cultivator who specializes in improving his cultivation by sucking others dry?"

Is there a vampire setting in the world of immortal cultivation?

Chao Zhao complained helplessly in his heart.

"correct."

Ji Shu suddenly raised his head with a look of complaint on his face, "This is also the reason why we couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for most of the night. Could it be that it is neither a demon nor a human, but some kind of monster we don't know about!"

There are many evil cultivators secretly in the world of immortal cultivation.

But under the suppression of the sects and the aristocratic families, these evil cultivators only dared to make troubles in secret. Also, because the evil cultivators' techniques were not systematic, it was impossible for them to provoke the aristocratic families, let alone have the ability to destroy them.

Chao Zhao looked thoughtful, and suddenly asked, "Does the Shen family's servant have any skills?"

The family's foundation and reputation are there. In order to maintain the family's dignity, many families have well-educated slaves who serve for generations.

Fu Xunying and Wen Lianchong looked at each other.

They did not pay attention to this point. There are so many servants in the Shen family, and they have only been here for a few days. If they don't make a special effort to observe, how can they know how many cultivators there are in this mansion?

During their silence, Shen Mingyue's voice suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard: "The three people who died all had the ability to refine Qi."

"Little junior sister."

Ji Shu looked up in surprise and called out subconsciously.

Shen Mingyue walked into the pavilion and said to Chao Zhao: "Not only that, they are all from Shen Jiao's courtyard."

Chao Zhao nodded.

"go on."

"Shen Jiao has a strong desire to control her servants. The people in her yard must follow her closely and wait for her call. But those three people were found in the backyard garden yesterday."

Shen Mingyue has suffered so much in the Shen family, and it can be said that she knows Shen Jiao very well.

The corners of her lips curled up into a sarcastic smile: "What's more, not long after the body was discovered, Shen Jiao brought the head of the Shen family here."

"What's the problem?"

Ji Shu raised his head and looked over in confusion.

Shen Mingyue: "The head of the Shen family occupied the most secluded and large courtyards of the Shen family for him and his wives and concubines to enjoy. He couldn't even be sure which courtyard he was in every day. Even if Shen Jiao was the first to discover it and went to find the head of the Shen family immediately, it would be impossible for him to arrive so quickly."

Wen Lianchong glanced at her.

"So you suspect Shen Jiao?"

"Yes."

Shen Mingyue took a deep breath and nodded.

Chao Zhao glanced at her with a half-smile: "No personal feelings involved, right?"

When Zhao asked this, Shen Mingyue was straightforward and directly stated her true intention: "If it wasn't for watching her commit suicide, why would I go to so much trouble to investigate these things?"

"But at this juncture, what does she want?"

Fu Xunying was confused. "Deliberately create panic? Throw the blame on the Fallen Demon Alliance, provoke the anger of the aristocratic families, and better protect the Shen family?"

Shen Mingyue didn't think clearly about the reason. She hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Don't rule out this possibility."

"But isn't this unnecessary?" Ji Shu suddenly interrupted them, looking speechless, "And how do you explain the two holes on the hands of those servants?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four people's eyes all fell on him.

“…What’s wrong?”

Ji Shu felt particularly uncomfortable being stared at by them like that.

"nothing."

Chao Zhao clicked his tongue, "I'm just surprised your brain hasn't left home."

Although the others didn't say anything, the meaning in their eyes seemed to be similar to what Chao Zhao expressed.

Ji Shu immediately yelled: "How is this possible!!!"

"No matter what, I suspect Shen Jiao and I will continue to investigate her."

Shen Mingyue stood up, turned around and was about to leave.

Chao Zhao couldn't help but hold his forehead.

"and many more."

When Shen Mingyue turned around and looked at her, Chao Zhao threw something at her.

"......What's this?"

Shen Mingyue looked at the black stone in her hand with a confused look on her face, especially because the black stone was fading, which made her silent.

"It's just a broken stone. It's useless."

Chao Zhao yawned lazily.

In fact, this is the ore material that was absorbed by the rubbish, and she injected a sword energy into it.

"......oh."

Shen Mingyue wiped her hands silently. Although she said to Zhao "it's useless", she still took the black stone and left.

After Shen Mingyue left, Ji Shu lay listlessly on the table and asked boredly, "What should we do now? Continue investigating?"

"This is a job Huo Aoran took on himself. What does it have to do with us?"

He raised his eyebrows at Zhao and waved his hand indifferently.

As a qualified passerby who works three jobs, she will never take the initiative to trigger the plot. She usually waits for the plot to come to her.

It’s definitely not because she’s lazy.

"I'm a little uneasy."

Fu Xunying frowned, "...I always feel like this won't be the last time."
