The Legend of the Young Swordsman: A Prequel - A Phantom Melody Embarks on a Journey Through the Mar

At this moment, Yueyao, who no longer remembered Helian Yunshen, felt her hatred for Helian Yunshen reach its peak when she learned that Helian Yunshen had killed two Venerable Envoys of the Outer Heaven Sect.

This scheme to frame and frame others was all for the purpose of eliminating Helian Yun Shen.

"I understand, Miss."

Xiaolian bowed deeply, memorizing the plan Yueyao had proposed, and then turned and left the room Yueyao had supposedly intended to be hers.

in the room

After Xiaolian left

The cold, decisive look on Yueyao's face vanished, replaced by a look of confusion and doubt. She raised her hand to her heart, as if caressing her inner self through her skin.

"I don't know why, but saying this and planning to deal with Helian Yun Shen makes me feel heartbroken. It's as if my heart is telling me that I shouldn't do this."

Why is that?

An inner emotion was controlling her, causing her to mutter these questions to herself.

These words had just been spoken

Yueyao felt the moisture on her cheeks.

She raised her slender fingers to wipe away the wet tear, then looked down at the tear in her hand, her words tinged with doubt and sadness.

Why does this tear fall? For whom does it flow?

…………

A few days later,

North of Tianqi City, outside the imperial palace

Emperor Tai'an looked at the memorial delivered by his secret guards. He was usually calm and composed, but at this moment his brows furrowed.

"Prince Rong was murdered? Was the murderer Helian Yunshen?"

"Your Majesty, based on what the survivors of the Prince's Mansion saw, the one who entered the mansion and carried out the massacre that day was Helian Yun Shen."

Moreover, this survivor only lived for two hours before dying from his grievous injuries.

The guards recounted the events at Prince Rong's residence to Emperor Tai'an. Upon hearing this again, Emperor Tai'an frowned and placed the memorial on his desk.

He then said.

"Summon the Ninth Prince to the palace."

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the guards quickly withdrew from the imperial study and went down to carry out the tasks assigned by Emperor Tai'an.

In less than 15 minutes

Xiao Ruofeng then rushed to the palace and went to the Imperial Study.

"Your subject greets Your Majesty, and wishes Your Majesty a long life...!"

"No need for these words, just take a look at this content!"

Emperor Tai'an, not wanting to hear such words, interrupted Xiao Ruofeng. He picked up the memorial and tossed it to Xiao Ruofeng, who opened it and read its contents.

After reading it, he immediately spoke up.

“Father, in my opinion, this matter could not have been done by Yun Shen. If it were him, he could have killed the Imperial Uncle’s family on the day of the incident. There was no way he would have returned to launch a surprise attack.”

Furthermore, given Yun Shen's abilities, he wouldn't leave any survivors to let anyone know that he was the one who did it.

"This matter has a great impact on our Xiao clan. Regardless of whether he did it or not, all the information currently points directly to Helian Yunshen."

Therefore, you cannot judge this matter based on your own assumptions.

Hearing his son's firm reply, Emperor Tai'an coldly criticized and corrected his son, telling him not to think so highly of himself.

Especially in this kind of thing.

Xiao Ruofeng, after being spoken to like this, lowered his head and admitted his mistake:

"Your Majesty, I understand. I will not make such a mistake again. Please forgive me!"

"Just remember."

Emperor Tai'an was very satisfied with Xiao Ruofeng's attitude, and then looked at Xiao Ruofeng and spoke again.

"You will lead the investigation into this matter, whether it's finding Helian Yunshen to ask him directly or finding other evidence."

In short, this matter is now in your hands.

Do not disappoint me!

"My son, I accept the decree!"

"Go down!" Emperor Tai'an raised his hand and said.

"My son, please retire!"

Seeing Emperor Tai'an's gesture and hearing his words, Xiao Ruofeng said goodbye and got up to leave the so-called imperial study.

He left the palace

Instead of returning to his own palace, he went directly to Lei Mengsha's residence and found Lei Mengsha practicing his martial arts.

"Ruofeng, what brings you here?"

He put down what he was doing, took the silk cloth handed to him by the servant, wiped his sweat, and turned to ask Xiao Ruofeng.

When questioned, Xiao Ruofeng glanced at the servants present. Lei Mengsha understood immediately and led Xiao Ruofeng directly to his study.

"No one will disturb us here, so you can speak now, right?"

"I just came out of the palace and learned from my father that the Rong Prince's mansion was massacred. According to the survivors' accounts..."

This matter was orchestrated by Yun Shen!

Xiao Ruofeng explained this matter to Lei Mengsha.

Upon hearing this, Lei Mengsha suddenly stood up and spoke firmly to Xiao Ruofeng.

"This was definitely not done by Yun Shen. If it were him, he would have taken action the first time he went to that so-called Prince's Mansion."

Instead of leaving behind a so-called threat and then departing.

"That's what I think too, but my father's idea is that we can't be presumptuous and we need to investigate carefully. I'll handle this matter, and I plan to have you go out ahead to find Yun Shen."

Get to the bottom of this matter.

Seeing Lei Mengsha's expression, Xiao Ruofeng tried to comfort him. He then shared his views and the matter his father had entrusted to him, to which Lei Mengsha readily agreed.

"You can leave this matter directly to me."

"Alright, I'll leave it to you. When you find Yun Shen, have him stay at the place where you two met. Let me know the news so I can go there in time."

"no problem!"

After the two finished their conversation in the study, Lei Mengsha left the study and told Li Xinyue about his trip to find Yun Shen.

Then we set off!

At this moment, Helian Yun Shen was completely unaware of this matter, and he was still leisurely walking on the road of the martial world.

"It's been a long time since we've stopped in a town. Let's rest in one of the towns ahead for a while before continuing our journey!"

Looking at the map of Beili he had drawn, Helian Yun Shen saw a town ahead of him and thought he would rest there for a while before continuing his journey.

…………

"Young Miss, this matter has been taken care of. The Northern Li royal family has dispatched the Ninth Prince, Xiao Ruofeng, to investigate this matter, and I believe they will be able to confront him directly soon."

Xiao Lian explained this news to Yue Yao.

When Yueyao heard that the matter had been resolved, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, a pain that made it hard for her to breathe.

It felt like I'd been stabbed in the heart.

He instinctively raised his hand to cover his chest.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Seeing Yueyao's condition, Xiaolian asked with great concern.
