Crossing the Sword

The poison took effect extremely quickly. By the time Ye Shisan caught him, Shan Zhong had already died with blood coming out of all his orifices.

Ye Shisan smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that he would die so easily. I still have a question that I don't understand, and I want to ask him in person."

"What's the matter?" Jianyi's brother had just died, and he was in a low mood, so there was no expression on his face when he spoke.

Ye Shisan replied, "Motive. Unless he is mentally ill, he must have a motive for murder." He then said, "The needle shot into the heart from the wound. Even after the autopsy, no clues could be found. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes."

Jianyi nodded and said, "I will thoroughly investigate this matter when I return. Now can you let me deal with Shanzhong's body?" He asked the second half of the sentence to Jingwei.

Jingwei nodded and said, "Since it is all the business of the White Tiger Marquis' Mansion, it should naturally be handed over to Master Jianyi to handle. Master Jianyi can take back the bodies of Master Jianren and Shanzhong. I will report to my father myself."

"Then I'll have to trouble Princess Jingwei."

At this time, the guards on the ground had also finished getting rid of the cold and stood up again.

Jianyi held Jianren's body himself, and ordered the guards to take Shanzhong's body, then said goodbye and left.

After walking a few steps, Jian Yi looked back at Ye Shisan and asked, "Master Ye, I have something to ask you, but I don't know whether I should ask it or not?"

Ye Shisan shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said casually, "What can I ask and what can't I ask? Since you said so, don't you want to ask?"

"Haha." Jian Yi smiled bitterly and asked, "If the murderer is really that brother from the Phoenix Clan, what will you do?"

Ye Shisan did not answer but asked: "Is this important?"

"It's not important." Jian Yi shook his head and said firmly: "Thank you!"

"That's even less important."

After Jianyi left, Qingluan said to Ye Shisan, "Brother Shisan, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, I would never be able to clear myself even if I jumped into the Xuanhai. Although we in the Phoenix Clan are not afraid of them, it would be too worth it if we were framed." Even at this time, he still did not forget to praise their Phoenix Clan.

Huo Feng recovered relatively quickly. After the incident, she no longer feared it. She stared at Ye Shisan's forehead curiously and asked, "Brother Shisan, it turns out that you have opened your third eye! You didn't tell us before, what a shame!"

Ye Shisan sighed, "This is a long story. We still have to go to school, so let's talk while we walk."

Jingwei said disdainfully: "Humph, you just stole someone else's things."

Ye Shisan remembered that Jingwei had said something similar when he had eaten the "Heavenly Eye Pine Cone". So he asked curiously, "Why do you always say that thing is yours? Did you plant that pine tree?"

Jingwei said proudly: "Of course it's mine, because... Hey, why are you asking so many questions? Just know that you owe me a favor." But in her heart, she remembered what the Blue Emperor Fuxi had said to her...

In the Fuxi Hall one year ago.

Jingwei ran to Fuxi and asked coquettishly, "Uncle Qingdi, I often hear father and sister Baiyu talk about things like immortal fate, which can bring many good things. Uncle Qingdi, can you help me calculate when my immortal fate will appear?"

The Green Emperor smiled and nodded. He immediately counted with his fingers and said, "On the third day of the sixth month of next year, two hundred miles northwest of Shangdang. There, you will find your destiny."

Jingwei refused and said, "Uncle Qingdi, can't you tell me in more detail? What is my destiny? Is it the legendary number one artifact in the world - Pangu's giant axe?"

The Green Emperor smiled profoundly and said, "It won't work if I tell you. Do you really want me to tell you?"

When Jingwei heard this, she quickly covered her mouth. After a while, she said disappointedly, "Forget it, I'm going to play with Sister Baiyu. Goodbye, Uncle Qingdi."

Could it be that my destiny is not Tianyan Tan Songguo, but Ye Shisan? Thinking of this possibility, Jingwei's face suddenly turned red, but fortunately she was walking in front, so Zhang Tianya and the other two could not see it.

After walking for a short while, they finally reached their destination, the largest aristocratic school in Shangdang City - Huode College.

Looking at the four characters he recognized, Ye Shisan said with emotion: "Going to school? Such a familiar term, but... it's also strange enough."

Jingwei looked at Ye Shisan strangely, then turned to Luanfeng and asked, "Are you guys coming to school together? Here we have the best martial arts and magic teachers in the country. I believe their guidance will be helpful to you."

Qingluan glanced at Huofeng, then shook her head and said, "No need. Our Phoenix Clan has its own martial arts, which are also the most suitable martial arts for our Phoenix Clan. It's just that our current skills are not enough and we can't use them yet."

Jingwei guessed that he would say that, so she took out a jade pendant and said, "In that case, you can take this jade pendant to the Imperial Palace. Father will arrange a suitable place for you to practice. Thirteen lives there anyway, so it will be easier for him to find you in the future."

Ye Shisan was very grateful that Jingwei didn't call him a "lecherous thief" in front of the two of them, and he also helped by saying, "Haha, it's rare that Princess Jingwei is so kind, you should not let her down. Besides, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Emperor's Power is much richer than other places, which is very beneficial to your cultivation."

Qingluan did not refuse. She took the jade pendant, nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Princess Jingwei. We will go to the Imperial Palace to wait for you." After that, she said goodbye to the two of them and left with the Fire Phoenix.

Seeing the two men leave, Ye Shisan felt more at ease. He had not been in contact with them for a long time, but he had already developed feelings for them. They called Ye Shisan "big brother", and Ye Shisan regarded them as his own brothers and sisters. Ye Shisan was an orphan since he was a child, so he naturally cherished this pure brotherhood.

Jingwei pushed Ye Shisan who was a little dazed and said with a smile: "Let's go. Father has sent someone to inform the principal. I will take you to register and you can join the class."

Ye Shisan was startled after being awakened, then half-jokingly bowed to Jingwei and said respectfully: "Yes, Princess Jingwei!"

Seeing Ye Shisan like this, Jingwei said with some resentment: "Don't be like this, okay? From childhood to adulthood, everyone in Shangdang City has been respectful to me because I am a princess. But do you know? This feeling of superiority is not pleasant! Maybe friendship is a normal thing in your eyes, but it is a luxury for me. Except for Sister Baiyu from Taihao Country, I don't even have a friend to talk to in Shennong Country!" At this point, she laughed self-deprecatingly. Ye Shisan saw a feeling from this smile, and this feeling is called loneliness.
