The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

The three of them successfully sneaked into the house through the side door.

Because the funeral was held in the lobby, the young master had a small courtyard to himself.

At this moment, everyone gathered in the lobby, and the courtyard was very quiet.

It is more convenient for several people to conduct investigations.

The man who led them in went down the mountain and stood guard at the door, blowing the whistle as soon as anyone came.

When Gu Junming and others heard this, they would immediately withdraw and not cause any trouble to others.

"Look around and don't miss any suspicious corners."

After giving the order, Gu Junming walked to the bed of the dead young master.

The whole room was filled with a faint smell of burning, as if paper money had just been burned to commemorate the dead.

Wen Zixi released his spiritual sense and carefully felt everything around him; even Yu Xiaoyao had a serious look on her face, lying under the table, not missing any place.

soon,.

A loud whistle was heard outside the house.

"You still have the leisure to whistle after something like this happened? Be careful, the master will find out and break your legs!"

"Ha, ha, ha, I can't control myself as soon as I see you, Mammy."

"You're so funny...I'll come to see you tonight?"

"Ah? How about changing it to another day? It's a special period, so let's not do it..."

When leaving, Gu Junming caught a glimpse of a servant talking to someone with a look of despair on his face.

Just be.

It wasn't a hot day, but he was still lazy and chose a spot under the shade of a tree to cool off.

Ok?

Is this an illusion? Why does it feel like the shadow is moving...

After leaving the mansion, the three exchanged information with each other, but found nothing.

"It's okay, continue to the next incident location."

Gu Junming subconsciously turned his head and glanced behind him.

"What's wrong, big brother? Did you find anything?"

His action aroused Wen Zixi's curiosity.

Wen Zixi felt it was quite novel to go down the mountain this time.

I can actually work on a case with my senior brother.

In a way, does this count as a way of venturing out into the world and broadening one's horizons?

"No." Gu Junming shook his head slightly, frowned slightly and said: "Strange, I always feel like someone is watching me secretly. Is it an illusion..."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaoyao turned around to observe and was suddenly stunned. She seemed to have just seen...

A black shadow flashed by the stone lions on both sides of the entrance of the mansion. I don’t know if it was just an illusion.

"Xiaoyao, let's go. Look at the map and see who else has been murdered."

"Oh oh, okay...this way."

The busy work continued until the evening, but still no findings were made.

The two groups that separated during the day met one after another at the door of "Fulai Inn".

After asking, the other party got the same result as ours, and both returned empty-handed.

"Second brother, are you sure there's a monster out there killing innocent people?"

"Why do you say that, Senior Brother? Have you discovered something?"

The flickering candlelight illuminated Gu Junming's peaceful face.

He picked up the fragrant bud tea in front of him, put it to his lips and blew gently, then said lightly:

"No."

Xiao Jianxin frowned, and didn't dare to continue asking questions.

in other words.

Could it be that the senior brother, who I have been with day and night for decades, would hide something from me?

After thinking it over without success, Xiao Jianxin suddenly remembered that Gu Junming had said today that he would tell them something.

So he asked in confusion, "Brother, what did you say today that you wanted to tell me?"

"Yes, I almost forgot. Look at my memory."

Gu Junming slapped his head and chuckled.

Then he gently shook the tea in the cup, causing faint ripples.

His expression was as usual, and he said confidently, "Seventh Brother said he wanted to go out and try his luck, and he has already left."

Afraid that Xiao Jianxin, a blockhead, wouldn't understand, Gu Junming added, "Just like the fourth brother, he might come back, or... he might not."

"Really?" Xiao Jianxin slowly closed his eyes and rubbed his numb shoulders.

The restless mood in my heart gradually calmed down. More haste, less speed. Today's fatigue...

Let’s stop here.

"Where did my junior brother go?"

Wen Zixi, who was sitting quietly on the side, spoke.

She placed her slender fingers on her chin and answered herself after asking, "I think he's heading to the Central Plains. I remember what my junior brother said before..."

"I think so too." A faint smile appeared on Gu Junming's lips.

Since I want to go out and explore, the first choice is of course the prosperous Central Plains where immortals are said to live.

The seventh brother was a native of the Central Plains, so it was reasonable for him to go to the Central Plains to develop his power.

"Rest early."

Xiao Jianxin let out a long breath, left his seat, and walked straight out of this "Tian" brand first-class room.

The back figure looks a little bored.

Yes, another disciple left.

Xiao Jianxin, the second in command, must feel a little disappointed, right?

Gu Junming calmly withdrew his gaze and drank the tea in his hand leisurely.

Suddenly, a voice rang out beside me:

"Brother, what did you find?"

"Hmm? What did you find?" Gu Junming raised his eyebrows, put the cup back in its place, and said with a smile:

"Don't be suspicious. Go back and rest. We'll be busy tomorrow."

"Senior Brother, I'm not a blockhead like Senior Brother Xiao." Wen Zixi's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she looked energetic.

"You must have discovered something to say that. The reason I didn't tell Senior Brother Xiao was simply because I was afraid that he might alert the enemy due to his straightforward nature."

Gu Junming couldn't help but give a thumbs up, admiring Wen Zixi's sharp mind.

Just from a few words, I was certain that he must have discovered something.

However, this is indeed the case.

"Oh, if I had known you were going to investigate this matter, I should have kept Old Seven for a few more days."

Gu Junming leaned back in his chair and said in frustration, "With him here, the mystery will soon be solved."

"So, Senior Brother isn't sure either?"

"Almost~"

Wen Zixi pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "Can I know?"

"Before I tell you, I want to ask you a question."

Gu Junming sat up straight, a smile on his face, and asked mysteriously, "Do you think there might be a 'human' behind this conspiracy?"

"What do you think, senior brother?" Wen Zixi asked back.

"I'm asking you this." Gu Junming couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you throwing the question back at me?"

Wen Zixi frowned and fell into deep thought for a long time, but finally sighed softly.

He said with a slightly helpless expression:

"Big Brother, please don't embarrass me. Since the intelligence says that there are monsters harming people, how can there be any trace of 'humans' involved?"

"I think... half and half."

"Half and half?"

Gu Junming still smiled.

Afterwards, he feigned annoyance and urged, "Alright, go back to your room and get some rest. Don't overthink it. Maybe we'll get the results tomorrow."

"What if I can't?"

"Stupid, if that doesn't work, then the day after tomorrow. If that doesn't work, then the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow!"

Wen Zixi:...
