"Zu'an?"
After hearing the other person's name, Sang Qian's voice rose an octave.
Sang Hong, who had always been calm, had no time to blame his son this time. Instead, he was equally surprised because the news was so unexpected.
It was really difficult for him to connect an eighth-level master like Zu An with Shi Lezhi, let alone kill Shi Lezhi.
"Brother Shi, are you mistaken?" Sang Qian asked suspiciously, wondering if he was frightened when he heard that this guy's sword was broken by Zu An's sword in the back hill of the academy.
, deliberately describing Zu An as very powerful so that he would not look so embarrassed?
But killing an eighth-level master is too outrageous.
Sang Hong also didn't believe it, but he didn't lose his composure like his son. Instead, he looked at Shi Kun quietly, knowing that there would be a follow-up.
Sure enough, Shi Kun opened his mouth and smiled bitterly: "I also think I made a mistake..."
Then he explained what happened last night and Bian Tai's reasoning. Of course, some unnecessary content was omitted, such as the fact that they drugged Qiao Xueying and so on. They just treated it as a normal way to capture the traitor.
"Ninth grade..." Sang Hong remained silent, as if he was thinking deeply about something.
Sang Qian said: "Brother Shi, there is no ninth grade in the entire Mingyue City. Is there any misunderstanding on your side?"
Knowing that they didn't believe his words, Shi Kun sneered: "I've told you everything that needs to be said. As for whether you believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, I will be returning to Beijing soon. What will happen to you by then?
, it has nothing to do with me anymore.”
"Is Mr. Shi going back to Beijing?" Sang Hongqi asked.
"That's right. Send a message home to ask me to come back if something happens." Shi Kun was embarrassed to say that he was scared, so he naturally had to find an excuse.
After saying that, he exchanged a few casual greetings and left in a hurry.
After he left, Sang Qian asked doubtfully: "Dad, why did the Shi family summon Shi Kun back to Beijing at this time?"
Sang Hong said calmly: "Shi Kun's plans have all failed, and there is no point in staying here. What's more, Shi Lezhi is dead. He should be very afraid now, so he naturally went back."
"What do you think of what he just said? Is there really a ninth-grade mysterious master?" Sang Qian asked curiously.
"Yes or no, just ask." Sang Hong stood up and turned a porcelain bottle on the bookshelf behind him. The bookshelf separated to both sides, revealing a secret room.
Then a man with a mask came out of it. Sang Qian couldn't help but take a few more glances. He couldn't figure out why his father had to hide it even from himself. After all this time, he still let him wear a mask.
.
Sang Hong said in a deep voice: "You heard what Shi Kun said just now, right? What do you think?"
"Ninth rank? The Chu family should not exist like this," the man shook his head and said sarcastically, "If there really is a ninth rank, Chu Zhongtian will not be the head of the family."

Sang Hong snorted: "I also judged it this way, but it doesn't seem like a lie that Shi Lezhi died in the Chu family. What happened?"
"By the way, I remembered," the masked man patted his forehead, "Zuan An became a sensation during the family competition last time. The Chu couple also questioned him afterwards. At that time, he seemed to have said that he had been taught martial arts by a strange person.
It’s just that the stranger left after teaching him.”
"Could he be lying? The stranger actually didn't leave and was always by his side!"
Sang Hong nodded: "It's very possible. This also explains why Shi Lezhi died silently inside. It should be that he learned that Chu Zhongtian was out of the city, and he wanted to take advantage of the situation to go in and catch Zu An. After all,
Shi Kun was treated badly by the other party, and he will definitely take revenge."
"It's a pity that I didn't expect that there is a mysterious master hiding behind Zu An. If that person made a sudden attack with his mind calculated but not his intention, he should be able to kill him even if his cultivation is about the same as Shi Lezhi's."
After making a rough guess, Sang Hong looked at the masked man: "The question now is, who is that mysterious master?"
There was also a trace of doubt in the eyes of the masked man: "I have been in the Chu family for so many years, but I have never noticed that such a person exists. Could it be that he is related to Zu An's parents and is not in the Chu family?"
Sang Qian on the side said: "After the Chu family chose Zu An as their son-in-law, we sent people to check Zu An's situation. We thought he had some special identity, but unfortunately according to the information we found, he was a
An orphan, he was raised by his uncle since he was a child, and his uncle also died not long ago."
"We have investigated his uncle, he is just an ordinary person, nothing special."
"Orphan..." Sang Hong fell into deep thought, "Can't we find any information about his parents?"
"Nothing was found," Sang Qian shook his head, suddenly startled, "Is there really any secret about his life experience?"
"That's probably it," Sang Hong's eyes flashed, "There is no goodwill without reason in this world. I don't believe that a waste is worthy of a mysterious master spending so much energy to cultivate. Qian'er, please go and investigate his background information in depth.
Let’s see if we can find any clues about his parents.”
"Okay!" Sang Qian agreed, but there was a bit of embarrassment on his face, "It's just that we may not be able to find anything. After all, we checked very carefully before."
"Before, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Now this is a targeted investigation. Maybe there will be unexpected gains." Sang Hong is quite experienced in this area, and then turned to look at the masked man, "Of course, except for Qian'er's journey along the way,
In addition, I would also like to trouble you to investigate the Chu family to see if the mysterious person can be found."
"No matter how mysterious a person is, since he is bound to leave traces in this world, if you pay attention, you should be able to find some clues."
The masked man looked solemn: "Okay, I want to see which master is hiding in the house."
With such a top master hiding in his house, how could he be safe?

Heart?
"Excuse me, sir," Sang Hong then asked, "By the way, how many people know about the Chu family and Wang family caravan we just talked about? Will they suspect you afterwards?"
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Prefect," the masked man said with a cupped hand, "Don't worry, I was not involved in this matter. I heard about it from other channels, so following the clues after the incident will not involve me."
Sang Hong smiled slightly: "Sir, you are indeed a veteran."
"You can't be careless when doing things for the prefect," the masked man showed hesitation after finishing speaking, but finally said, "But the prefect promised me before, I don't know..."
"Don't worry, Sang has always been a person who keeps his promises," Sang Hong replied, "Chu Zhongtian is ignorant of current affairs and is destined to be eliminated. By then, the Chu family will be yours, as well as the person you miss day and night.
.”
There was a look of fear in the masked man's eyes: "It made the prefect laugh."
"My fair lady is so jealous. This is normal. What's so funny." Sang Hong smiled slightly, "Why did Chu Zhongtian suddenly leave the city last night? It seems that Miss Chu is sick? He actually needs to go overnight.
Looking for Doctor Ji?"
"Yes, there is indeed something wrong with Chu Chuyan's health." The masked man replied, "It's a pity that the Chu couple kept her condition strictly confidential, and even I don't know what it is."
"Could it be that taking the Traceless Magic Lotus has side effects?" Sang Hong fell into deep thought. Chu Chuyan's strength skyrocketed after she came out of the secret realm. The matter of the Traceless Magic Lotus is no longer a secret.
"I have sent people to approach Zu'an to inquire about Chu Chuyan. If there is any follow-up information, I will inform the prefect as soon as possible," the masked man said.
"Okay, excuse me sir." Sang Hong saluted.
"You're welcome, Mr. Sang." The masked man quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
After the two chatted for a while, the masked man said goodbye and left.
After he left, Sang Qian said with some dissatisfaction: "Dad, who is this person? Why did you even hide it from me?"
Sang Hong replied: "This is his request. His identity is sensitive and he only wants to let me know. Since I agreed to him, I can't break my promise."
Knowing that his father always kept his word, Sang Qian did not dare to say anything. He just muttered. He did not know his identity, which made him so mysterious.
Seeing his reaction, Sang Hong secretly shook his head. His son's character was still too reckless. No wonder the man had such a request.
"By the way, I heard that you are asking Zheng Dan to get close to Zu An?" Sang Qian's voice suddenly turned cold when he thought of another thing.

I seem to have offended the school teacher by accidentally saying the wrong thing today. The key is that I didn’t mean it. I spent the whole night in a state of anxiety and I haven’t recovered yet. Hey, a scumbag like me is really suitable for being a keyboard warrior on the Internet.
