Entering an otome game: I made the heroine cry

Chapter 247
  Not hearing Yang Chen's response, Yunli knocked on the door three more times, but still got no response.

"Brother, am I coming in?"

Yunli asked for the last time.

If this was in the sect, she would definitely not disturb Yang Chen.

Yang Chen didn't respond, it was most likely that he was practicing in seclusion.

Outside, the possibility of Yang Chen practicing in seclusion is almost zero.

As the junior sister who was brought out by Yang Chen, Yunli certainly understands Yang Chen's style very well.

When she went out to do things, Yang Chen was unlikely to retreat in the inn. Even if he wasn't following her secretly, he should be ready to help at any time.

This is Yang Chen's consistent style.

Therefore, unless he suddenly entered a state where he had to break through, it would be impossible for Yang Chen to retreat outside.

Seeing that Yunli was about to forcefully break the door, but Xu Qingqu didn't stop him, she became worried now.

Yunli concentrated his strength in his palms, broke the door bolt inside through the door, and then pushed open Yang Chen's door.

Sure enough, Yang Chen's room was empty.

Now, Yun Li, who was just a little uneasy at first, was completely panicked.

"Where has Senior Brother gone?"

Yun Li could still remain calm, but Xu Qingqu had lost his mind and was now panicking.

But after panicking, Xu Qingqu quickly thought of a possibility and said in surprise: "Do you think the senior brother just wanted to test us, so he hid secretly?"

If that's the case, there seems to be no need for her to panic.

It is true that Xu Qingqu's conjecture made sense, but Yunli subconsciously ruled out this possibility.

She knew that Yang Chen would often conduct assessments for them, sometimes notifying them in advance, and sometimes conducting surprise inspections.

However, Yunli knew that Yang Chen definitely did not leave on purpose this time and then test them.

When she and Yang Chen parted last night, Yang Chen's eyes were clearly worried, and Yunli understood that it was because he was worried that she would be in a bad mood.

That's why she deliberately acted happy and tried to reassure Yang Chen.

Thinking about it, even if Yang Chen was relieved, he would not arrange tests and assessments for her at this juncture.

Senior brothers and sisters have been together for so long, so they still have this understanding.

Even though she hoped in her heart that what Xu Qingqu said was true, Yunli had to prepare for the worst.

"Senior sister, let's not panic. No matter whether senior brother intends to test us or encounters something, we must deal with it calmly."

Xu Qingqu listened and felt that it made sense.

Without Yang Chen around, her IQ began to slowly recover.

After listening to Yunli's words, she also adjusted her mood.

Xu Qingqu is not an idiot. When she went to Qingzhou for training, she was the calmest one among the three fools. She didn't make any advances or mistakes, and she knew how to think twice when things happened.

He was probably tensing up at this stage, wanting to pass Yang Chen's test.

After learning about Yang Chen's intentions, her mind was filled with love and her spirit became less tense. This was her wisdom.

Now that he knew something might have happened to Yang Chen, and after stabilizing his mind, Xu Qingqu's IQ soared.

"Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to investigate the situation. If something happens to Senior Brother, there may be clues there."

Yunli immediately glanced at Xu Qingqu in surprise and said, "How did you know?"

"Your senior brother looks kind and generous, but he is actually a petty person, especially one who protects his shortcomings. So many people said bad things about you yesterday, but he probably didn't say anything because he was holding back his anger.

If he really wanted to take action, he would most likely go to the City Lord's Mansion. "

Yun Li: "..."

This seems to be true, but Senior Sister Xu, it turns out that in your eyes, Senior Brother is actually a small-minded person!
  Yunli silently made a note to Xu Qingqu. Of course, whether he would sue for this black matter in the future would be another matter.

Yunli also felt that what Xu Qingqu said was reasonable.

At the moment, the two of them ignored the exhaustion of running around last night, put on some disguises, and quietly went to Xue Feng's manor.

Only when they got here did they realize that something had indeed happened in the City Lord's Mansion.

Outside Xue Feng's manor, densely packed soldiers wearing black armor surrounded the entire manor.

In the past, although Xue Feng's first awakening was grand, it would not be such a grand affair.

These must be soldiers from the Yongcheng military camp. With so many soldiers gathered, something big might have happened.

Yunli and Li were also more certain that Yang Chen must have been here last night.

But he shouldn't be too harsh, right?
  Yunli and Xu Qingqu both felt that Yang Chen should just teach Xue Feng a lesson.

However, the melon-eating people around them talked a lot, and pieced together the news sentence by sentence, which also let them know the reason,

It turns out that a shocking murder occurred in Xue Feng's manor.

There were more than a thousand people in the house, but no one survived.

Among them were Xue Feng's wives, concubines, children, hundreds of guards, hundreds of servants and their families.

There is no one left alive within the manor.

Hearing this, Yunli and Xu Qingqu suddenly became worried.

They don't think Yang Chen did this.

Even though Yang Chen always teaches them to eliminate evil and do their best, they must not be merciful to their enemies.

But Yang Chen would never do anything to kill a whole family of people regardless of right or wrong.

If Yang Chen takes action, it is possible that all of Xue Feng's family will be killed, but what does the servants in the manor have to do with Xue Feng?
  It is impossible for Yang Chen to be so cruel.

What Yunli and Xu Qingqu were afraid of was that Yang Chen would get into trouble just because of his involvement.

With Maoqiu here, Yunli could know the general state of Yang Chen.

Anyway, Yang Chen is not dead yet.

If Yang Chen dies, Maoqiu will lose his life, and Yunli will naturally know about it.

Too many people died in the City Lord's Mansion, and this incident was very explosive for the entire world of immortality and the secular world.

Therefore, after the news spread, Ye Qinghe rushed to the scene as soon as possible.

As the person with the highest status in the room, she decisively ordered the dispatch of the Yongcheng garrison to come for reinforcements, isolate the inside and outside, and be careful of public opinion.

Although Si Youyu wanted to kill Ye Qinghe, he still had to abide by the Basic Law. Therefore, by letting Ye Qinghe investigate the case of the Rose Killer, he still gave him the power he should have.

Therefore, Ye Qinghe is now like an imperial envoy, temporarily mobilizing local troops for support.

Of course, this kind of thing is very sensitive. If it is not necessary, try not to use this kind of permission.

And in this situation, it is naturally necessary.

So many people died in Xue Feng's house at once, and the death was in a strange manner. At first glance, it was not the work of ordinary people, and they could only be immortal cultivators.

And such a large-scale act of killing could only be done by cultivators of evil or demonic ways.

Yongcheng is not far from the capital and is one of the barriers that protects the capital. If something big happens here, the capital should also be more cautious.

Ye Qinghe sealed off the scene and sent someone to submit an urgent report to the capital.

Unfortunately, although she arrived at the scene immediately and took countermeasures, she was not the first to receive the news. People in the city have the best information. When she received the news and rushed there, the city was already in a storm.

It was because Ye Qinghe didn't have enough experience in handling affairs that he never thought of sending troops to arrest those who spread the news.

If no one dares to spread the news, the news will only spread within a small area and the impact will be relatively limited.

But now, almost the entire Yongcheng knew about the tragedy that happened at Xue Feng's residence, and people did not need evidence to solve the case. They all started talking, thinking that Xue Feng must have been killed by the Rose Killer.

Xue Feng issued a reward order during the day, and his family was wiped out at night. This must have been the work of Killer Rose!

For a time, Rose Killer Feng Ping was persecuted again.

This time, Yunli didn't care at all.

She knew what she had done, right and wrong, only in her heart.

Just listening to these rumors, she felt regretful.

Why should she be sentimental yesterday? It must be because she was unhappy, that's why Yang Chen approached Xue Feng, and he happened to bump into that unknown evil powerhouse.

She was emotional for some unrelated people, but it caused the people around her to suffer. Yunli felt regretful in her heart.

But now is not the time to blame yourself. The top priority is to find Yang Chen or clues related to Yang Chen.

This Xue family manor has become a must-go place.

The two of them did not hesitate, and Xu Qingqu used Earth Escape to lead Yunli across the blockade.

After entering the manor, I found that there were even more people inside.

The two of them explored along the way and found a place where corpses were placed in rows.

The black-armored soldiers continued to carry the corpses together, and everyone's expressions were very solemn.

They all felt that there was something terrifying here, but they had to deal with it, and with so many dead people, the atmosphere was really heavy. Who could relax and chat on such an occasion?

Therefore, working became the only thing that could be done.

Of course Yunli and Xu Qingqu would not miss the opportunity to investigate.

Both of them carefully concealed their auras and approached the corpses quietly.

When they saw different corpses showing exactly the same expressions, they both felt a chill on their backs at the same time.

The expressions of these corpses are not ferocious, but even peaceful.

But the more this happens, the more it makes people's scalp numb.

"No, stop reading. I feel uneasy after reading too much. Let's look for other clues."

Perhaps because Yunli's cultivation level was higher, she discovered her discomfort faster.

Xu Qingqu was just afraid and didn't feel anything else.

However, Xu Qingqu also knew the seriousness of the problem and quickly used Yunli's escape technique to leave the place where the corpses were concentrated.

After searching around, they finally found a courtyard that was obviously damaged. It looked like a battle had taken place here.

Unfortunately, Yang Chen did not use the thunder method, and no traces of Yang Chen's battle were found here.

However, the fur ball howled loudly, and it smelled Yang Chen's breath, which was nearby.

It used its cat language to tell Yunli the information it had received, and Yunli relayed it to Xu Qingqu.

Facts have proved that their guess was correct. Yang Chen really came to trouble Xue Feng, but the intensity of the battle should not be high, and there were no traces of thunder methods nearby.

It can be seen that Yang Chen probably did not encounter a very powerful enemy at that time.

"Maoqiu, can you find Senior Brother by following his scent?"

Hairball:"……"

First of all, she is a cat, not a dog.

Secondly, Yang Chen leaked very little aura, leaving only a little bit here, so naturally there was no way to trace it.

Yang Chen's Heavenly Dao Breath Condensation Technique is really powerful. If he hadn't been frightened and lost control for a few moments, his breath would not be left here.

It's not that difficult to track him down.

However, the fur ball sniffed carefully and discovered another smell.

That person's scent was more obvious and extended into the distance.

Maoqiu told Yunli his findings in meow language, and Yunli suddenly became excited.

This smell may be dangerous, but it may also be another survivor.

"Let's go, Furball, let's follow that aura!"

Yunli decided to take a gamble.

Those who left their aura at the scene may be survivors or Yang Chen's enemies.

No matter what the possibility is, finding the owner of this aura is getting closer to finding Yang Chen.

The difference is that if the other party is a survivor, that is naturally a good thing and you can get more clues.

If it's an enemy, that's bad.

Yang Chen didn't come back to them. Maybe he was tied up by something, or maybe he didn't want to cause trouble for them.

If they jumped in stupidly, wouldn't Yang Chen's hard work be in vain? It might even implicate Yang Chen and have to jump out to protect them.

Both possibilities are possible, and they are very likely.

In the end, Yunli chose to follow, not because she saw through everything, but because she could only follow this clue to find Yang Chen.

Xu Qingqu had no objection, and the two of them took action again.

After they left, Ye Qinghe came here with others.

She didn't look at the strange corpses, but instead explored the nearby area and confirmed that Xue Feng and others must have fought with others before they died.

The broken magic arrows and broken gang arrows left at the scene all support this. Not only that, but also a mechanism formation was set up in the inner courtyard.

It can be seen that Xue Feng has already made plans for encountering enemies.

Ye Qinghe couldn't help but sigh.

Judging from these clues at the scene, the suspicion of Rose Killer is very high.

Others will definitely argue the opposite. Xue Feng must have deliberately lured the enemy to his door, so he prepared for battle in advance. Isn't it obvious that he was going for Killer Rose?
  Unfortunately, the Rose Killer was stronger and not only killed him, but also killed everyone in the entire mansion.

As a result, the notoriety of Rose Killer may spread all over the world, and even the major sects of the righteous path will send people to deal with it.

Ye Qinghe didn't believe that these things were done by Rose Killer. There were so many previous murders, but none of them involved the annihilation of the family. Why did the family annihilate this time when so many people died.

This is not Killer Rose's style.

Unfortunately, it was useless to believe it alone, and the reason was not tenable.

There is no real evidence, only subjective judgment, and the results that can be achieved are very limited.

"It would be great if we could find the key clue here."

Ye Qinghe sighed secretly in her heart and prayed secretly. She hoped that she could find some useful clues to prove that the Rose Killer was innocent.

However, she also knew that this clue was not that easy to find.

You can't just have clues roll right in front of you, right?
  "Eh, what is this?"
