Ling Qingxue pushed the door open and walked out.

The scene in front of her made her slightly stunned.

She saw a big head staring at the ceiling with eyes that seemed to be open in death, and the scarlet blood splashed on the ground, slowly flowing, forming a rather strange pattern.

The strong and pungent smell of blood rushed to her face, and the exposed white bones were particularly dazzling in the darkness.

There was an extremely sharp dart stuck on the forehead of the rolling head.

"Ling Rong?" Ling Qingxue recognized the other party.

"She has been following you since you came back. I have nothing to do, so I helped you get rid of her."

Su Chen said lightly, his tone was extremely calm.

Ling Qingxue only took a glance and then retracted her gaze, her cold eyes were calm.

He said respectfully and gratefully: "Thank you, Master, for your help."

Su Chen smiled and continued: "No need to thank me. What you need to consider now is how to prove to Ling Tianlong that you have nothing to do with this matter."

Ling Qingxue's lips curled slightly, and a sly smile flashed across her eyes: "Master, women are born actors~"

..........

In the luxurious villa manor,

In the largest study, the lights are bright and magnificent.

Ling Tianlong sat on an expensive office chair, writing something at his desk.

As the head of a family, the things he has to deal with every day can be said to be a huge number.

Originally, he only needed to give some power to other people in the family to make it easier.

But unfortunately, all his immediate family members were too mediocre and unusable. The only son he was proud of, Ling Qingxue's father, died in the soul beast tide.

As a result, he had no one to use, so now all matters, big and small, had to be personally asked to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

"Alas, the Ling family looks bright and prosperous now, but in fact, it has been in turmoil for a long time..."

Ling Tianlong put down his pen and sighed slightly.

All the prosperity of the Ling family is supported by him alone. Once he lets go, this huge Ling family may fall apart immediately.

So he must find a reliable backer to completely stabilize the position of the Ling family in Beichuan City.

And the Shen family in Tianjing City is a good big tree.

Sacrifice one Ling Qingxue for the whole Ling family.

This deal is worthwhile no matter how you look at it.

What freedom, what happiness, can it be more important than family?

A cold light flashed in Ling Tianlong's eyes.

This marriage cannot be cancelled. At that time, even if it is tied up, Ling Qingxue must be tied up!

Ling Tianlong was thinking this way,

Suddenly, a hurried and chaotic sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

"Clan leader! Clan leader! It's bad! Someone's dead!"

A panicked and anxious voice came.

Ling Tianlong's face changed instantly, and he quickly stood up and pushed the door open.

"What happened!?"

A middle-aged man stood outside the door, looking panicked and panting: "Reporting to the clan leader, Ling... Ling Rong was killed!"

Ling Tianlong's eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously asked: "Ling Rong is dead? Who did it? Where is Ling Qingxue now!?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "Ling Qingxue is fine, but she was frightened and is sitting in the hall now."

Ling Tianlong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said: "Come with me to see."

"Yes, clan leader."

.........

In the main hall of this large villa manor,

Many children of the Ling family gathered here, their faces were not very good, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

"What happened? How could someone be killed?"

"I don't know. I heard that the scene was bloody..."

"In Beichuan City, someone actually dared to touch our Ling family, and it was in our Ling family. Is he tired of living?"

"Who says not? I guess the clan leader must be very angry now. The murderer must be miserable."

"That's for sure. Our old clan leader is a six-combination mirror strongman. He can be ranked in the whole Beichuan City."

"We must severely punish this murderer! Otherwise, outsiders will think that our Ling family is easy to bully!"

Everyone was very angry.

Ling Qingxue sat on the sofa, hugged her shoulders, her face was pale, and even her pink lips lost their color. She curled up on the sofa and seemed to be extremely frightened.

Ling Tianlong strode over and asked with a caring look.

"Qingxue, I already know what happened. How are you? Did you not get hurt?"

Regardless of what happened, he had to do a good job on the surface. Maybe he could take this opportunity to make peace withLing Qingxue eased the relationship and made her no longer resist the marriage.

Ling Qingxue's body trembled slightly, her eyes slightly raised, looked to the other side, and did not speak.

Ling Tianlong saw Ling Qingxue ignored him, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he could not care about anything else at this time.

He needed to understand the situation as soon as possible.

Ling Tianlong looked at the middle-aged man beside him and asked, "Take me to the scene."

"Yes, clan leader."

After a while,

Ling Tianlong looked at the bloody scene in front of him, speechless for a long time, his eyes full of anger.

This method is really extremely cruel.

Too arrogant!

This is simply taking their Ling family seriously!

"Have you found the murderer!" Ling Tianlong asked in a deep voice.

The middle-aged man shook his head slowly:

"Reporting to the clan leader, we haven't found it yet, but after our initial judgment, this should be a very powerful warrior, who killed Ling Rong in almost two or three rounds. And he has rich experience in assassination, and there is no trace left at the scene."

Ling Tianlong frowned: "No trace?"

The middle-aged man sighed and nodded: "No, we can't find it, otherwise we can confirm who the murderer is."

Ling Tianlong said angrily: "Keep checking! I don't believe you can't find it!"

"Yes!" The middle-aged man nodded and left here quickly.

Ling Tianlong's face was gloomy, and he looked at this scene for a long time without saying a word.

This is definitely a provocation.

He dared to kill someone from the Ling family in the Ling family. If the murderer is not found, the face of the Ling family will be completely lost in Beichuan City!

But what puzzled him most was why it was Ling Rong.

Ling Rong was a force he secretly cultivated. She had almost no contact with the outside world. Only people in the Ling family knew her. There was no situation of offending an enemy.

So first of all, we should rule out the issue of revenge by a personal enemy.

Could it be an enemy of the Ling family?

Ling Tianlong thought secretly, but there were too few useful clues at present, and he could not make any useful inferences for the time being.

It's not that he hadn't thought that it was Ling Qingxue who did it.

But Ling Qingxue had just awakened her martial soul, and it was her first day in the martial arts class. How could she kill Ling Rong, who was already in the Three Talents Realm?

There must be something hidden behind this matter.

Ling Tianlong's face was uncertain, and he waited anxiously.

After a while,

the middle-aged man hurried back.

"How is it? Did you find any news?" Ling Tianlong looked at the middle-aged man and asked coldly.

The middle-aged man nodded heavily, his face extremely solemn:

"We found some clues. Last night, two female students from Xingyue College were also beheaded. The way they died was exactly the same as Ling Rong."

"In order to avoid the spread of panic, this matter was temporarily suppressed by Xingyue College and not spread."

Ling Tianlong frowned deeply: "The way they died was the same? Could it be that some evil spirit was born, or soul beast broke into Beichuan City? Demonstrating to us?"

The middle-aged man nodded: "Xingyue College also guessed so. They are still tracking the specific situation."

Ling Tianlong thought for a while and said: "You go to assist them in the investigation and make sure to get to the bottom of the matter."

"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded respectfully.

Ling Tianlong continued to order: "Let someone clean up here. Remember, tell the clan members not to spread this matter for the time being."

"Okay."

..........

Ling Tianlong returned to the main hall.

He walked up to Ling Qingxue, cleared his throat, and made his voice as gentle as possible: "Qingxue, tell grandpa what happened, grandpa will definitely make a decision for you."

Ling Qingxue turned to look at Ling Tianlong, a trace of just the right fear flashed in her eyes, and after hesitating for a while, she slowly said:

"............ I don't know what happened. I was sleeping, and suddenly I heard a noise outside the door. I opened my eyes and saw a man in black rushing in. He wanted to kill me."

Ling Tianlong's face suddenly changed when he heard the last four words.

Ling Qingxue paused and continued:

"At this time, Aunt Rong suddenly came in. She saved me, but she couldn't beat the man in black in the duel. Unfortunately, she was killed. She died to protect me..."

Speaking of this, Ling Qingxue's eyes were red, and her beautiful eyes were misty, looking very charming, making people feel pity.

Ling Tianlong felt a little strange.

He sent Ling Rong here to monitor Ling Qingxue, but he didn't expect that it would become a protection.

But it's good that Ling Rong didn't die in vain.

Ling Tianlong asked again: "What happened next?"

Ling QingxueXue lowered her head and said, "The man in black wanted to continue to kill me, but the fight just now made too much noise, and Uncle Cai came, so the man in black ran away."

Another man with white hair and beard stood aside, nodded and said:

"That's right, I rushed over after hearing the noise, and the man in black jumped out of the window and left immediately after seeing me, and I couldn't catch up with him."

Ling Tianlong looked at Uncle Cai, frowned and asked, "You are a Five Elements Realm cultivator, but you didn't catch up with him?"

Uncle Cai shook his head: "No, the other party seems to be very familiar with the environment of our Ling family. After a few escapes, he disappeared."

A cold light flashed in Ling Tianlong's eyes.

He looked at Ling Qingxue again and asked, "Besides that, did you see the face of the man in black clearly?"

Ling Qingxue shook her head slightly: "No, it was too dark at the time, I didn't see anything clearly, and the man in black's face was also covered..."

Ling Tianlong's eyes were as gloomy as water.

According to Ling Qingxue's description and other evidence, it is obvious that this is an assassination attempt on her, not some evil spirit.

If he hadn't arranged Ling Rong to monitor Ling Qingxue in advance, it is very likely that the person who died now is Ling Qingxue.

Ling Tianlong never expected that someone would dare to come to the Ling family to commit murder.

It's simply too bold to want to live.

And the person he wants to hunt is Ling Qingxue, which makes him even more intolerable.

Ling Qingxue is now the life-saving straw of the Ling family, and there must be no mistakes.

Uncle Cai found that Ling Tianlong's face was not good, so he asked on his own initiative:

"Qingxue, don't be afraid, it's okay now, think carefully, have you had any disputes with anyone recently, or offended anyone?"

Ling Qingxue thought about it seriously, and her eyes drifted to Ling Yuzhen who was standing aside, neither speaking nor denying.

The eyes of the whole audience instantly focused on Ling Yuzhen.

Ling Tianlong's eyes were also a little dangerous.

Ling Yuzhen panicked instantly and said nervously: "Don't frame me! I didn't do anything!"

Ling Qingxue's mouth curled up slightly, and she put on a mocking smile: "I didn't say it was you who did it, why are you so eager to deny it?"

"You!" Ling Yuzhen was immediately furious, but she couldn't help but feel a little panic in her heart.

Among all the people present, she was indeed the most suspicious person.

She liked Mr. Shen, but Mr. Shen liked Ling Qingxue. She had always been jealous in her heart. This was almost known to everyone in the Lin family.

There was no explanation at all.

"Even if I was jealous of you, I wouldn't find someone to assassinate you! I never thought about it!" Ling Yuzhen retorted loudly

Ling Qingxue's expression did not change, and her eyes were calm: "Who knows."

Four words made Ling Yuzhen speechless and speechless.

"Take her away first, keep an eye on her." Ling Tianlong said in a deep voice.

Ling Yuzhen struggled and shouted loudly: "No, Grandpa, you have to believe me, I am definitely not that kind of person!"

But no one listened to what she said.

Ling Yuzhen was pulled down.

"You should also take a rest. I will send someone to protect you during this period." Ling Tianlong said to Ling Qingxue.

Ling Qingxue nodded: "Okay."

After that, she stood up and left.

"Okay, let's all go, it's okay." Ling Tianlong looked at the children of the Ling family gathered here and said in a deep voice.

Everyone dispersed.

Only Ling Tianlong and Uncle Cai were left in the main hall.

Ling Tianlong's face was gloomy: "This matter must be investigated to the end!"

This matter is full of mysteries.

If the man in black was not evil, but came to kill Ling Qingxue specifically, why did he kill the two students of Xingyue Academy?

"Do you think the man in black is evil?" Ling Tianlong looked at Uncle Cai and asked.

Uncle Cai thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I couldn't see clearly at the time, but he gave me a very strange feeling. His aura was indeed somewhat like an evil spirit, but his behavior was human."

He suddenly took out a dark green dart from his pocket and whispered:

"Look, Patriarch, this is a dart left by the murderer."
