When Chu Yao learned the news, he was meeting with the palace master and the great elder in the secret room.
"not me."
Seeing the palace master and the great elders all looking at each other, Chu Yao shook his head solemnly: "When I left, she was still alive and asked me to hurry up and kill Ye Mo."
The palace master withdrew his gaze and looked at the subordinates who came to report: "Who else has been to the cell?"
Subordinate: "The fifth elder, sixth elder, and seventh elder have been there, but they went together."
The great elder looked at the palace master: "Even if the three of them go together, they may not be able to do anything."
The palace master shook his head: "The three of them can't do it. No matter who takes action, the other two will find out." After saying that, he stood up and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back.
"Chu Qinghuan died, but the treasure was not revealed. It's hard for the emperor to explain it!"
The First Elder looked at the palace master: "Is there really a treasure? Could this be a deception deliberately spread by the Regent's family in order to survive? If there is really a treasure, the news should be in the hands of the emperor."
The palace master said nothing.
There is indeed a batch of treasures, but they are not in the hands of the emperor, but are passed down by word of mouth from the successive masters of the Reincarnation Hall.
The original intention of leaving this treasure was very good. If there was a problem with the emperor's unkindness in Dachu, the Samsara Palace would use this treasure to bring order to things.
It's a pity that Dachu has only been inherited for five generations, and the clan threatened the imperial power.
The previous Master of the Reincarnation Hall and the Regent got involved together. If it weren't for the joint efforts of several elders and the Empress Dowager in the palace, the Regent's lineage would be the one who dominates the world now.
Chu Yao didn't care much about the treasure. All he was thinking about now were the traitors in the Reincarnation Hall.
The Fifth Elder, the Sixth Elder, and the Seventh Elder dared to go directly to see Chu Qinghuan. It should not be the three of them.
Now there are only four elders, the second elder, the third elder, the fourth elder, and the eighth elder.
"Okay, I will personally report Chu Qinghuan's death to the emperor. You all should step aside." The palace master waved his hands to the great elder and Chu Yao.
Chu Yao's expression paused: "Palace Master, the matter of traitors"
The master of the palace looked at Chu Yao: "The fifth elder has violated the patriarchal law. After I report to the emperor, I will remove him from the position of elder and replace him with you."
Chu Yao was not satisfied with the palace master's answer which was not what he asked. Just as he was about to speak again, he was pulled out of the secret room by the great elder.
After the two of them came out of the secret room, Chu Yao looked at the great elder: "What do you mean, the master of the palace? You won't pursue the traitors anymore?"
The First Elder was silent for a moment: "Chu Qinghuan is dead. Whether or not there is a royal treasure, it has become a secret. It is meaningless to pursue the traitor at this time, and that person does not dare to make any small moves."
Chu Yao's face was filled with anger: "But I was almost killed!"
The great elder glanced at him sideways: "Didn't the palace master promise to give you the position of elder? Now that you have become a clan elder, your clan members will have to give you two cents of face when they see you in the future. This compensation is substantial enough."
Chu Yao snorted coldly: "Even if there is no fifth elder, I can still be an elder."
The great elder was speechless: "It's been so many years, why haven't you made any progress?"
"The position of an elder is like a carrot or a pit. As long as we are still here, no matter how high your martial arts skills are or how strong your abilities are, you have to wait obediently."
As he spoke, he sighed.
"Don't blame the palace master. The palace master also has the same helplessness as the palace master."
"You should know that previous emperors have had very vague attitudes towards the Palace of Samsara. After the regent's case, Emperor Renzong and the current emperor's trust in the Palace of Samsara became even worse."
"Now that there is another incident of someone collaborating with Chu Qinghuan, the emperor will have even more reason to reduce the power of the Reincarnation Hall."
"As early as the time of Emperor Renzong, the clan was severely suppressed. Now, except for a few clan members trusted by the emperor who still have some real power, most of the clan members are living lazily at home. This is not a good thing."
The great elder patted Chu Yao on the shoulder: "You should know how much the palace master values you, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed you to inherit the inner strength of the supreme master."
"Brother Yao, if you want to be a person in power, you must know how to put the overall situation first and personal preferences second. You must learn this hard."
Chu Yao knew that the great elder was doing it for his own good and that what he said made sense, but he still felt aggrieved.
When he was a child, he couldn't resist the person who seriously injured him. Now that he has the ability, he still can't. The more he thinks about it, the angrier he becomes.
At this moment, a black-robed guard ran over anxiously: "Great Elder, it's not good."
The great elder looked over: "What happened again?"
The black-robed guard was breathing heavily: "Second Elder. Second Elder. He fell from the stone steps and died!"
"What?!"
Chu Yao and the Great Elder widened their eyes at the same time.
"Where are the people?"
"No one dares to move. The second elder is still lying in the square."
The great elder turned around and went to find the palace master, while Chu Yao quickly went to the square.
Seeing the second elder lying in a pool of blood, Chu Yao raised his head and looked at the spiraling stone steps, his eyes flickering.
The second elder was a ninth-grade expert, so the reason for falling down the stone steps was too far-fetched.
Suddenly, Chu Yao seemed to have thought of something and left quickly.
"Dong dong dong~"
There was a knocking sound and the stone chamber opened. Chu Yao walked in quickly and saw Shi Fuxin sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Shi Fuxin opened her eyes the moment he came in: "You are finally back. How is the investigation going?"
Chu Yao stared at Shi Fuxin carefully and said nothing.
Shi Fuxin frowned: "Why are you looking at me like that?" She stood up quickly with a wary look on her face, "You don't mean to do this to me." She looked left and right, as if she was looking for an opportunity to escape.
Chu Yao's eyes were less probing: "You haven't been out, have you?"
Shi Fuxin said angrily: "I want to go out, but have you given me a chance?"
Even though Chu Yao tried to open the stone door in front of her, he actually had a plan secretly. If it weren't for his spiritual power, she would have almost been discovered.
Chu Yao then retracted his gaze, turned around and left again.
Shi Fuxin saw it and hurriedly stepped forward: "Take me with you."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Unfortunately, the stone door closed too quickly and no one was caught.
Shi Fuxin looked at the closed stone door and curled her lips: "Unreliable guy." She released her mental energy and followed Chu Yao.
After Chu Yao left Shi Fuxin, he went straight to the second elder's mission mailroom.
In the Reincarnation Hall, each elder will be equipped with a task mailing room, where task stubs will be kept for tasks issued by the elders.
Chu Yao avoided the guards, entered the mail room, and quickly looked through the tasks recently issued by the second elder.
Soon, I found a task stub.
"When captured, Zhenghe and his family were captured!"
Chu Yao put the stub away in his arms and quickly left the mailroom.
When he returned to the square again, the palace master and other elders had arrived.
In the Reincarnation Hall, an elder died. This was a big deal, and the hall master and others looked very ugly.
"where did you go?"
The great elder came to Chu Yao and asked in a low voice.
Chu Yao knew that the first elder asked the question on behalf of the palace master, and he did not hide it: "I went to the mail room of the second elder in Hall 1. I suspected that he was a traitor."
The great elder frowned: "Have you found any evidence?"
Chu Yao shook his head: "No, but his death is the biggest evidence."
The great elder said nothing.
Chu Qinghuan's front leg had just died, and the second elder's hind leg had also died. Everyone would associate the two together.
But, who killed the second elder?
The great elder glanced at the palace master vaguely.
The palace master chose to suppress the traitor's case because he wanted the Samsara Palace not to be disgusted by the emperor. But he also hated the traitor deeply, so he chose to execute him secretly?
It’s not like there’s no such thing.
"The fifth elder allowed his subordinates to break into the Tomb of the Living Dead and cut off the position of elder. In the future, the affairs that the second elder and the fifth elder will be responsible for will be handed over to Chu Yao."
The palace master ignored the discussion caused by his order, patted Chu Yao on the shoulder and left quickly.
Chu Yao looked at the instructions given to him by everyone, glanced at the second elder on the ground, and then turned and left.
Chu Yao returned to the stone room again and was immediately grabbed by Shi Fuxin's arm.
Looking at the arm held tightly by Shi Fuxin, Chu Yao's brows knitted into knots: "I don't like to be touched."
Shi Fuxin looked at him: "Please believe me, I don't want to do this, but you lock me here and I feel very insecure." After saying that, the strength in her hand became a little heavier.
Chu Yao suppressed the urge to get rid of Shi Fuxin: "I went to help you investigate the matter."
Shi Fuxin: "Have you found out? Who wants to deal with me?"
Chu Yao thought of the mission stub he found from the second elder. The mission only pointed out that Shi Fuxin's family was to be dealt with, but did not say the reason. He actually wanted to know the reason.
The reason why the second elder dealt with Shi Fuxin's family was probably because of Chu Qinghuan.
But how did Shi Fuxin's family offend Chu Qinghuan?
Chu Yao squinted his eyes and looked at Shi Fuxin in front of him. Could this guy's family be involved in the downfall of the Qingguo Palace?
If he remembered correctly, the Duke of Qing wanted to marry this girl's sister, and in the end they made a big fuss. After the girl started smiling, the Duke of Qing seemed to have made trouble for her.
Gee, this girl’s family definitely has a motive for committing the crime!
Previously, the Duke of Qing's government fell too quickly, and Chu Qinghuan's identity was exposed too quickly. There were many things here that he had not thought through.
Seeing Chu Yao looking at her critically, Shi Fuxin raised her head and pretended to be shy and said, "If you look at me so lovingly, I will misunderstand you."
Chu Yao trembled and looked up at the top of the stone. He knew that asking was in vain, so he didn't bother to ask more: "Let's go."
Shi Fuxin held him back: "Where are you going? You haven't told me yet. Have you found out what happened?"
Chu Yao felt that Shi Fuxin was really challenging his limits, so he said patiently: "Let's leave here first, or do you want to stay here forever?"
Shi Fuxin shook her head.
Chu Yao: "If you want to leave, just come with me."
When Shi Fuxin saw that it was good, she stopped and followed Chu Yao out of the stone room.
After leaving the stone room, Chu Yao took Shi Fuxin up the stone steps while avoiding people.
"Going out now?"
"Otherwise? Do you still want to visit?"
"It's not impossible."
"You go and visit, I'll leave first."
"No, if you brought me down, you have to take me out."
‘Boom~’
The boulder moved away and closed again, and Shi Fuxin appeared again on the cliff where she was kidnapped by the pirates.
There are no traces of the fight on the cliff.
Chu Yao didn't stay and walked down the mountain.
"Wait for me."
Shi Fuxin caught up with Chu Yao: "You haven't told me who is dealing with me yet."
Chu Yao took out the mission stub from his arms and threw it to Shi Fuxin.
Shi Fuxin took it and looked at it: "You are so clueless, I can't understand it either. Who is dealing with me? Why are you dealing with me?"
Chu Yao suddenly stopped and Shi Fuxin almost bumped into him.
"This is something you have to ask yourself."
Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin, she was still chubby, but her body had grown a lot.
His harmless face is embedded with a pair of black eyes that turn straight and dazzling. You can tell at a glance that he is not a peaceful person.
Shi Fuxin: "People are afraid of being famous, but people are afraid of being strong. My beauty business is so prosperous, so it is normal for me to be jealous of others. There are so many sick-minded people these days. How do I know why people want to deal with me?"
Looking at Chu Yao, "I'm too lazy to ask about your Reincarnation Hall. You won't tell me anyway."
"Chu Yao, I am your savior, just tell me directly whether this trouble has been resolved, right?"
Chu Yao looked at her: "As long as you no longer provoke the Samsara Palace, the Samsara Palace will not cause trouble for you."
After hearing this, Shi Fuxin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Chu Yao: "Are you really not curious about the reason, or do you already know the reason?"
Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao who looked inquiring, rolled her eyes, and Yan Ran smiled: "Guess!"
Guess your head!
Chu Yao wanted to curse, but he endured it and continued to move forward.
Shi Fuxin trotted to catch up: "Chu Yao, we have experienced life and death together. You have to protect me from now on. If I get into trouble, I have to ask you for help."
Chu Yao was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "Shi Fuxin, you are from a daughter's family."
Shi Fuxin: "Don't worry, I know this better than you."
Chu Yao took a deep breath: "Girl, I have never seen anyone as shameless as you."
When Shi Fuxin saw that he could not convince her, she was in a good mood: "Then you can see me now." Seeing that Chu Yao was sulking, she suddenly wanted to tease him. Anyway, he was idle.
Shi Fuxin trotted in front of Chu Yao, walked backwards, and said with a smile, "I have enriched your life experience, you should thank me."
Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin and didn't want to speak, but he didn't show any rejection.
Very few people would play around like this in front of him. When he was a child, he was deliberately alienated and excluded. When he grew up, others no longer dared to act arrogantly in front of him.
He suddenly discovered that he actually didn't hate others treating him like this.
Shi Fuxin was walking in front with her hands behind her back, thinking about the Palace of Reincarnation in her mind.
Chu Qinghuan focused on her because of Le Wu's death, and then used the treasure map to lure the second elder of the Reincarnation Hall to help her, and planned to arrest her.
It is estimated that the second elder wanted to catch him first, and then use her to lure Dad and the others to come to rescue him, and then kill their whole family in one go.
Now that Chu Qinghuan and the second elder are dead, and Chu Yao has put the finishing touches on it, there should be no follow-up to this matter.
Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao. After she killed the second elder, this guy immediately ran to the second elder's room to look for evidence, and his brain was still bright.
Chu Yao probably guessed that the downfall of the Duke of Qing was related to his family.
