The outer courtyard of the Supreme Sect was in chaos, and Su Bai hadn't come out of closed-door training at this time, which made the steward of the outer courtyard anxious. Injured, when the time comes, the head of the sect will lose face, and everyone will have a hard time.

The steward looked anxiously, looked at He Qing, and said with a serious expression: "Junior Sister He Qing, don't talk nonsense, are you sure that the man in black is Yue Linger, the direct disciple of the master, maybe you misread it, maybe Are those assassins sent by other sects or demon cultivators?"

He Qing frowned, she was not familiar with that Senior Sister Yue, and she had only met a few times, and it was at night, and it was not impossible to make a mistake in a hurry, so she hesitated: "I don't know much about it either. Sure."

The steward nodded in satisfaction, and the other disciples inspected the outer courtyard carefully several times, and reported annoyedly, "Senior steward, I didn't find Junior Sister Tian, ​​nor did I see Yue..." Sensing that the senior brother steward changed his expression , Startled in my heart, I immediately changed my words, "...there was no trace of the assassin."

He Qingwen's face turned pale, "Then Ah Ying...she?"

The steward sighed and persuaded: "Junior Sister He Qing, you and I know what will happen when we meet a demon cultivator assassin. I'm afraid Junior Sister Tian has..."

"How could it be, it's impossible," He Qing hastily argued, "Besides, the one in black really looks like Yue..."

"Junior Sister He Qing!" The steward interrupted her sharply, and then said coldly, "If you want so many disciples from the outer courtyard to accompany you to be punished, then keep shouting!"

He Qing paused in a daze, somewhat unable to understand the key point.The steward glanced at her, and said loudly to the other disciples: "The assassin sent by Moxiu came tonight from the outer court. In order to protect the safety of the sect, Junior Sister Tian fought desperately with him, and finally died together. Do you understand?"

"Understood." The disciples of the outer court may not be as good as the disciples of the inner court in terms of cultivation and aptitude, but they have the twists and turns in dealing with people and the ability to protect themselves wisely. They are all thorough.

The steward smiled: "Everyone is suffering tonight, so go back and rest earlier." When everyone dispersed, the steward looked back at He Qing, and saw that she was hesitant to speak, so he knew that she still didn't understand, and said: "Junior Sister He Qing, I know you may think that I am doing this wrong, but have you ever thought about what will happen to the disciples from the outer court if the sect master is furious? Can you make it clear who lives with Tian Yingying?"

"So, that person is really..." He Qing muttered.

"Whether she is or not, we don't know, and you haven't seen the face of the man in black clearly. No matter who asks, you have to say that, understand?" the steward asked earnestly.

He Qing felt uncomfortable and nodded heavily.

Mu Qingjue hid in the dark and silently listened to the conversation between the two, but he didn't realize that he looked at the steward a little more. It's hard for Mingjing to say anything, after all, people think it's a demon cultivator, and they are desperately trying to protect the safety of the sect.

The next day, I didn't see Yue Ling'er as expected. The brothers in the inner courtyard didn't care. Everyone is a monk. They often retreat, make alchemy, and meditate. It's normal not to see anyone.

But after a few days, some people gradually realized that something was wrong. There was no barrier around Yue Linger's room, and she couldn't feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power.

After Changde found out about this, he also felt strange, and went to see it himself. There was a thin layer of dust in the room, and it was obvious that no one had lived in it for several days.It was only then that he realized that something was wrong, and called his fellow apprentices to ask if anyone had seen her.

With this question, many people remembered that they had seen her running back to the inner courtyard a few days ago with a flustered expression, and they might have been stimulated by something.Changde secretly made a note in his heart, and ordered several juniors to help search for it on the nearby hills, and everyone followed orders to go.

Ye Ming stood not far away, looking at the noisy crowd, and shook his head helplessly, because Yue Linger might not be able to find her.

Sure enough, after searching for several hours in a row, everyone claimed that they did not see the little junior sister.After hearing this, Changde blamed himself endlessly. The master and senior fellow retreated, and he temporarily took over the duties. Now that something like this happened, how can he explain to the master?

At this time, Ye Ming walked over suddenly, and said with a slight smile: "Brother, why don't you ask the steward of the outer courtyard, what unusual things happened recently?"

"Why?" Chang De was puzzled, seeing Ye Ming's meaningful smile, and remembering that Master often praised this junior for being smart, he nodded and said, "Then let's get the steward from the outer courtyard."

The steward of the outer court rushed over, understood the meaning, and said with a little doubt and worry: "Junior Brother heard that Senior Sister Yue disappeared, how could this be so, but none of the Junior Brothers from the outer court has seen Senior Sister recently."

Chang De frowned: "Who asked you this, let me ask you, have any strange things happened in the outer courtyard these days?"

Hearing this, the steward of the outer courtyard was puzzled and said: "It's a strange thing..." Frowning and thinking for a while, Fang hesitated and said: "There is one thing, it is said that the disciple is looking for time to report it to the senior brother."

Chang De's heart moved, he glanced at Ye Ming who was smiling, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The steward of the outer courtyard had a mournful look on his face, and said: "A few nights ago, for some reason, an assassin in black infiltrated the outer courtyard. Fortunately, she was discovered by Junior Sister Tian from Guanxue Pavilion. With a straight temper and no tolerance for sand, he fought with the assassin on the spot, and in the end, in order to prevent that man from succeeding in his tricks, he even blew himself up, and finally died."

"There is such a thing?" Chang De didn't expect to ask such a thing. He was kind-hearted, and when he thought of the Tian junior sister who died at a young age, he couldn't help feeling sorry, "It's a pity."

"Yes." The steward of the outer court couldn't help sighing, his eyes were red, he lowered his head and wiped his tears with his sleeves.

At this time, Ye Ming suddenly said: "Dare to be this junior, have you ever seen that assassin?"

The fingers in the steward's sleeve trembled, he shook his head and said: "I have never seen it before, but I just heard from a junior sister who was present at the scene, that the assassin was dressed in black, and his face was covered with a veil, so he couldn't see clearly. .”

Ye Ming smiled: "I see."

Chang De seemed to have deep meaning in what he said, and looked at him in doubt, Ye Ming smiled at him, hesitating as if he wanted to say something.

Chang De frowned: "Junior Brother Ye Ming, do you have something to say?"

Ye Ming looked uncertain, and hesitated: "Brother Changde, have you ever thought that the man in black is not an assassin, but..."

"But what?"

Ye Ming sighed: "...but Senior Sister Yue."

"What?!" Chang De didn't expect him to say that, he was taken aback, and the steward of the outer courtyard also looked surprised and stunned, and said in a low voice: "How is it possible, it is said that the man in black murdered Junior Sister Tian as soon as he entered the room, It was clearly intended to put her to death. If it was an assassin, it would be fine. If it was Senior Sister Yue..." He glanced carefully at everyone's expressions before he said hesitantly, "...that's too vicious, what kind of hatred is there? , it’s worth it.”

Ye Ming's clear eyes lightly swept over him, but she smiled silently.

Chang De was very confused, "You can't talk nonsense about this. What is the good-natured junior sister running to the outer courtyard in the middle of the night? Besides, she has no friendship with Tian junior sister."

"Who knows, but it's scary for a woman to be jealous," Ye Ming looked at the steward with a gentle smile, "I've also heard about that junior sister Tian who lives in Guanxue Pavilion, and it's said that it's rare to see her. Where is the beauty?"

The steward's heart skipped a beat, he was not sure what this Cheng Yaojin who came out halfway meant, so he just followed the conversation and said with a smile: "Yes, speaking of it, there are quite a few seniors who admire Junior Sister Tian."

Thinking of the savage temperament of the little junior sister, Chang De's heart moved. Could it be because..., he didn't dare to think about it any further, he shook his head, even if Yue Linger was a bit arrogant, he wouldn't kill people just for this reason... right?He even paid his own life for it.

Although he comforted himself in this way, there was a corner in his heart that kept telling him that the man in black was Yue Ling'er. Chang De calmed down and said to the manager, "Take me to Guanxue Pavilion." After a pause He said again: "You all go away first." This sentence was said to Ye Ming and others.

Ye Ming watched him go away with a smile, turned around and glanced meaningfully at Mu Qingjue who was not far away, and then left as well.

Pei Ran leaned against the tree trunk, smiling coquettishly, but there was worry in his eyes: "I hope he doesn't find any clues, otherwise we will be in trouble."

Mu Qingjue smiled indifferently: "Those things have already been cleaned up, and I can't find anything else except what I want him to know."

Indeed, Chang De personally went to Guanxue Pavilion to check it in detail. There was nothing special in the room except for a little smell left by Yue Linger. I found a treasured sword somewhere, the scabbard was carved in a flashy manner, and a small word Yue was engraved on the hilt, it was really Yue Linger's sword.

Chang De picked up the sword with trembling hands. This sword is Yue Linger's natal magic weapon. Now the sword body is dim and the aura is gone. All these all imply one thing, the little junior sister, she is probably already...

Seeing him like this, the steward of the outer courtyard was taken aback for a moment, then he thought about something, "This, this is really Senior Sister Yue's sword, oops, then why did it come here? What did Junior Sister Yue run into Junior Sister Tian's room in the middle of the night for no reason? ?”

Chang De already had guesses in his mind, ignored his nagging, and only said: "Where is that Junior Sister He Qing who lives with Junior Sister Tian?"

When He Qing was brought to Tian Yingying's room, her expression was very ugly. Although Tian Yingying made her feel strange recently, after all, the two grew up together. They have been friends for many years. Now they see that the room is still the same, but the person is no longer there. Her How can I feel better?

However, despite this, He Qing still felt a little weird when he entered the room, but he couldn't explain why it happened.

Chang De glanced at her up and down, and could tell that she was a simple and well-behaved girl. He asked, "That night, an assassin came to Junior Sister Tian's room. Did you see the assassin's appearance?"

He Qing unconsciously wanted to see the steward, but when he received his warning glance, he replied softly as he had ordered in advance: "It was dark, she covered her face, so she didn't see it." Her fingers were in her sleeves Clenching tightly, He Qing forced himself to calm down, and added in a calm tone, "However, that person is slender, so he should... be a woman from Ming."

"As expected..." Chang De sighed, thinking of his master who was contemplating alchemy, he felt a touch of sadness in his heart.
