290 Using Bizarre Against Bizarre (1)
“Impossible. I don’t believe that kid still remembers Teacher.” As the voice rang out, Tingyu’s figure rapidly approached in the darkness. When she arrived in front of Grandmaster Bai’s grave and looked at the empty surroundings, she fell silent.
“I knew it. It’s impossible for him to come.” Although Chen Feiyuan said this, his eyes quickly checked his surroundings.
“He was here.” Tingyu looked at Grandmaster Bai’s grave and said softly.
Chen Feiyuan was stunned. After that, he lowered his head and looked at the front of the grave. There was a faint fragrance of wine that was faintly discernible. Clearly, someone had paid their respects here after they left.
“It might not be him. It might be someone else. Even if it’s really him, so what…” After a moment of silence, Chen Feiyuan sighed.
Tingyu bit her lower lip and wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Now that he’s in the Seven Blood Eyes and is in the Sequence, he might seem to be in a glorious position but as long as he doesn’t pay respects to Old Master Seventh as his master, he’ll still be a duckweed in the end… Teacher’s matter is very difficult for him to handle. Let’s not fantasize. Perhaps you’re wrong. An ingrate like him was never here.”
“We will take revenge ourselves!”
Chen Feiyuan spoke in a low voice and pulled Tingyu, who had a bitter expression and was in a daze, away from the cemetery. After he sent Tingyu back to her residence, he turned and left. His expression became solemn.
As he walked on the way to the Chen family, one of the few followers behind him, a youth who was about the same age as him, spoke in a low voice.
“Young Master, is the ingrate you mentioned earlier the Xu Qing whose reputation spread throughout the Nanhuang some time ago?”
Almost at the instant the youth spoke, Chen Feiyuan suddenly turned around. He coldly looked at the follower who had followed him for many years and slapped him.
The force was so great that it directly sent the follower’s body flying. After he fell to the side, the follower hurriedly knelt down while trembling.
“I said that he’s an ingrate because no matter what I say, I can be considered his senior brother. Although I don’t like him very much, since the Teacher acknowledged him, I also acknowledge him.”
“But who do you think you are? How dare you say that about him in front of me?” Chen Feiyuan said coldly. That follower’s entire body trembled and he kept kowtowing.
“Looking at how you’ve been with me for so many years, I will give you a good funeral,” Chen Feiyuan said calmly. Amidst the terrified pleading of the follower, the other followers grabbed him and broke his neck. The surroundings fell silent.
Chen Feiyuan didn’t even take a look. He had a frown on his face as a look of contemplation appeared in his eyes. A moment later, he suddenly spoke.
“Activate all the spies I’ve raised over the years and get them to pay close attention to the movements of the Golden Core experts in the eight great families. I can give them whatever they want.”
“Activate them all?” The followers behind Chen Feiyuan were stunned.
“Yes, all of them. I wonder how that ingrate Xu Qing’s current strength is. I suspect that Purple Earth is also involved in Teacher’s matter. He might be in danger if he barges in.”
‘Not coming to see us was the correct choice. Tingyu is innocent. It’s fine for her to do alchemy research but her temperament isn’t firm enough. Once she reveals some clues and others discover that he’s here, it’s inevitable that they’ll be tempted by the bounty of the Sea Corpse Race.’
‘In fact, I even suspect that someone is trying to lure him with Teacher’s death. Killing two birds with one stone, or maybe someone is just using Teacher’s death to lay a trap and get benefits!’
“I hope I’m thinking too much.” Chen Feiyuan took a deep breath and pondered again.
In the past two years, it was not only Xu Qing who had changed a lot. After Chen Feiyuan returned to Purple Earth and gained authority in his family, he had also changed greatly, especially in terms of his wisdom and schemes. At the same time, he was also deeply influenced by Grandmaster Bai’s ideals and hated Purple Earth’s current situation.
After saying that, he looked at the two followers behind him.
“Have you made the arrangements?” The two followers nodded. However, the instant they nodded, their bodies suddenly trembled and their faces turned black. They spat out blood and died.
‘Don’t blame me, I don’t trust you guys either. Since you have finished the work, I can only send you guys on your way.’ Chen Feiyuan muttered. In the entire Purple Earth, the only people he trusted were his teacher and Tingyu. Now that his teacher had been killed, only Tingyu was left.
‘As for the ingrate, he can be trusted as well. I wonder if he discovered the Daybreak Scattered Decay Pill… However, with his understanding of plants and vegetation, he should be able to discover the clues guided by the poison on Teacher’s body.’ Chen Feiyuan frowned and dealt with the corpses before leaving.
At the same time, In Purple Earth’s capital, Xu Qing walked in the darkness. His aura didn’t leak out at all and his eyes were cold as he sped forward.
The reason why he didn’t meet Tingyu and Chen Feiyuan was indeed because he was worried that there would be additional complications. Xu Qing was very clear about his current value. He had also considered whether someone was using this matter to lure him here.
However, he felt that even if there really was another force in play, it had nothing to do with the faction that assassinated Grandmaster Bai.
He could already infer some clues from the loss of the Lunar Chosen Transformation Pill’s pill formula. The other party was planning something huge.
“If someone is really luring me out, there’s a high chance that it is people of Purple Earth. Perhaps I’m overthinking, but I still have to be vigilant.”
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and sprinkled some poison powder on his body to hide his aura as he continued forward.
He had found traces and clues of the suspected murderer.
The red jade slip Old Master Seventh had given him had already mentioned the other party’s characteristics. At the same time, it pointed out that the other party was from the Bizarre Fiend Race that was extremely difficult to capture.
