"As the ancients said, you will never be confused at the age of 40."

"I am over forty now, so I should look like an elder."

"From today on, I will be a gentle, rational, neutral and objective person. I will no longer be young and frivolous, no longer reckless and stubborn. I will be gentle and gentle like jade."

"Oh, by the way, I still have Guo Yan to kill." Qiao Mu suddenly remembered something.

"Then after I kill Guo Yan the day after tomorrow, I will start to be a gentle, rational, neutral, and objective person. I will no longer be young and frivolous, no longer reckless, and be as gentle as jade."

He did not approach the old woman at the door of the teahouse.

Instead, he left through another side door.

Since the existence of the tree itself will bring danger, it is better to forget each other in the world.

.

When Qiao Mu left from the side, Qiao Canxue at the door subconsciously turned her head slightly and looked in the direction where Qiao Mu left.

She didn't notice anything, she just felt something on a whim.

Subconsciously, I took two steps to chase the retreating footsteps in front of me, but the story of the righteous Qiao Lin, told by the storyteller behind me with a sword, had just reached its climax.

While hesitating, the footsteps in front of him gradually disappeared.

Just listen to the sword storyteller say: "...In order to prevent the city lord from humiliating the body, Qiao Lin hit the edge of the well at the last moment, smashing the edge of the well, and fell into the well, dying. !”

Qiaolin is dead? Or is it such a tragic ending?

The guests in the teahouse were talking a lot. They didn't expect that the storyteller's story would end like this.

Some kind-hearted girls have already picked up their handkerchiefs and secretly wiped the corners of their eyes.

Then I had a few discussions with my girlfriends and friends around me, shed a few tears, sighed a few times, and then it was over, and I left with satisfaction.

For these tea drinkers, it was a wonderful story from the mouths of sword-wielding storytellers.

But for Qiao Canxue at the door of the teahouse... it's a matter of immediate concern.

She remained silent and walked away step by step with her blind stick in hand.

Qiao Lin... is dead?

Looking back now, I realize that what Qiao Mu did was just a lie weaved to let her escape from Yancheng.

Deliberately letting her spend several days to come to this remote and inaccessible town was to prevent her from going back to Yancheng, rather than to really reunite with her here.

"He has done so much for me. The first time he escaped death, the second time he fell into a well and there was no trace of his body..."

"Since I got along with him, Qiao Mu has never exceeded my rules, so obviously he is not greedy for my body."

"Then besides his hatred of evil and eagerness for justice, there must be another reason."

"He must like me."

"Oh, he loves me so deeply, why didn't I realize it until now?"

Qiao Canxue walked silently, her vision blurred by tears unknowingly.

Wait... sight?

Qiao Canxue was slightly stunned, opening her white left eye and looking at the hillside in front of her.

Ever since the murder of the Qiao family half a year ago, her eyes have been ready to move.

If the progress bar reached 90% at that time, then the last step has finally been passed.

"Can I see it?" Qiao Canxue opened her eyes with white eyes, and her heart was equally confused.

Unfortunately, it's a little late.

"From the time I met him to the time he died, I never had the chance to see what kind of face he had..."

She sighed slightly and walked forward, but her eyes gradually became firmer.

She is truly gifted and unique.

Since all this was not a girlish delusion, she would take revenge herself.

Revenge against Saint Wu and revenge against Guo Yan, the lord of Yan City.

If the martial arts path doesn't work, then take the immortal path.

If the path to immortality is blocked, then carve out a path of thorns yourself.

"Today is my first step towards the path of immortality!" Just thinking this, Qiao Canxue took the first step forward.

Then he stepped on the air and fell to the ground and rolled twice.

After falling to the ground, she didn't get up immediately, but froze in place.

Why was it short? Can't she already see it?

The picture she saw with her eyes seemed different from reality?

Chapter 53 The case is solved, the Qiao family does not exist at all!

Time came to the sixth day after Qiao Lin broke into the city lord's mansion.

In the inner courtyard of the city lord's mansion, Guo Yan was sitting in his study.

The study door opened, and he stared intently at the well in the courtyard, his face gloomy.

Ever since what happened that day, City Lord Guo Yan has become increasingly gloomy, except that his face is still as white as before.

Guo Yan has been thinking a lot these days, is quite worried, and has trouble sleeping and eating.

Although he didn't fight Qiao Mu seven days ago, he was so angry that he vomited blood because of his son's death. The injury was actually more serious. He hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, and he seemed to be in low spirits.

suddenly.

A white dove with black and red eyes fluttered into the courtyard and landed in front of the study door.

Guo Yan was immediately overjoyed and was about to step forward to untie the note tied to the pigeon, when suddenly a breeze blew behind him.

Looking back, there suddenly appeared in the study a man in black robes, his whole body shrouded in shadows and wearing a dark star-shaped mask on his face, and the dove with black and red eyes landed on his shoulder.

Guo Yan narrowed his eyes, unable to conceal his shock.

The Xingxuan Envoy of Wujihui?

Such a person should be active in a big city like Heyang Fucheng. Why did he come to Yancheng?

"Why did the envoy come in person?" Guo Yan's eyes twitched and he quickly closed the study door.

In the past seven days, in order to track down the affairs of the Qiao family, he had used Wu Jihui's connections at great cost, but he had thought that he would not alarm someone like Xing Xuanshi.

Xingxuanshi is the leader of intelligence informants within Wujihui.

In fact, this kind of intelligence officer should not be known for his use of force. It's just that Wu Jihui is the second martial artist in the world, a force established by Wu Shengren, so the middle and high-level people will not be weak.

Since the birth of Wujihui, it has spent decades sweeping through most of the sects and martial arts families in the world, and has collected countless martial arts secrets. Its foundation and strength are far superior to the so-called famous sects of the previous era.

Then the Xingxuan envoys of Wujihui naturally cannot judge it with common sense.

"It's just a way, you don't have to think too much." Xing Xuanshi's voice was cold, and he couldn't tell whether he was male or female, old or young.

It is said that there is no need to think too much, but Guo Yan has to think about it...

Is the news that Emperor Dayan is coming true? Otherwise, why would someone like Xingxuan come to this mere small town?

Guo Yan once felt lucky, thinking how could the emperor's itinerary plan be exposed to Wu Jihui so easily? But now I can only sigh.

"Guo Yan, we have preliminary results about the Qiao family you want to investigate." The Xingxuan envoy, regardless of what Guo Yan thought, kept talking to himself:

"I thought that the Qiao family that you put so much effort into checking would be related to the Heyang Qiao family that was a powerful martial arts clan at the time, so I put a lot of effort into checking... but the result was disappointing."

"In the entire Nanzhou, there is no trace of the existence of the Qiao family you mentioned."

Guo Yan was startled.

"What do you mean by the envoy?" he asked.

"There are two possibilities." Xingxuan envoy said:

"First of all, this Qiao family is not a family from Nanzhou. It may be a family from a distant place. Otherwise, I wouldn't know anything about such a maverick family."

Guo Yan nodded thoughtfully.

Xing Xuan Envoy continued: "Secondly, the Qiao family is just a small family worth mentioning, or a family of ordinary people, or it may not even exist at all."

"Fake?" Guo Yan was stunned.

This was completely different from what he had imagined.

His main purpose in investigating the Qiao family behind Qiao Mu Qiaolin was to root out the family that had enmity with him.

But I never thought that there was such a possibility.

"What do you mean by the envoy, is it that Qiao Mu and Qiao Lin are just raising flags? Pretending that there is a so-called Qiao family behind them?" Guo Yan couldn't help but say.

"You think about it yourself." Xing Xuanshi was noncommittal.

Apparently he was disappointed with the findings.

The Qiao family in Heyang was a large martial arts family that had a master, so Guo Yan's incident alarmed him at first.

The door opened with a creak, and Xingxuanshi's figure blurred for a moment and disappeared from Guo Yan's sight.

Only Guo Yan was left sitting there in a daze.

After a long time, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up, and then he laughed loudly.

If Guo Yan used his own power to investigate and found no trace of the so-called Qiao family, he would suspect that the Qiao family might have a bigger background than he thought, so he couldn't find it.

But if you can't even find the Xingxuan Envoy of Wujihui...it's not like the so-called Qiao family is so mysterious that even Wushengren's Wujihui can't figure out the way, right?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"According to what Xingxuan Envoy said, if this Qiao family is from a distant place, then I won't have to worry about the Qiao family's revenge for a while."

"If the Qiao family is just an ordinary family that doesn't have the discernment of Wu Jihui, then there will be nothing to worry about."

"Let me tell you, there is no big family in this world that would pass down 'die well-deserved' as a family motto."

Thinking of this, his brows gradually widened.

Although he was bluffed by Qiao Lin's bluff, his mood improved.

Think about it too.

If the Qiao family was really a big martial arts family, then the two brothers Qiao Mu and Qiao Lin would not have died alone, especially Qiao Lin who broke into the city lord's palace alone.

With Qiao Lin's strength, he would definitely die if he broke into the city lord's palace. If the Qiao family really had a strong person who could stand up to the stage, how could they sit back and watch Qiao Lin die alone?

..

The seventh day.

Guo Yan, who was sitting quietly in the study, waited for important news from a servant.

"Sir, Qiao Lin's body has been found!"

"Where did you find it? Tell me in detail." Guo Yan stood up suddenly.

Although he knew that Qiao Lin's injuries were extremely serious and that he was dead, but there was no body left, he still felt a little worried.

"It's Panshan Town outside the city." The servant explained:

"A doctor surnamed Wang from Panshan Town said that his family members found Qiao Lin floating down the river and dying and comatose while they were doing laundry by the river."

"The doctor took this man home for treatment out of a doctor's benevolence. However, his medical skills were mediocre and he worked in vain for several days, causing Qiao Lin great pain, but in the end he was unable to save his life."

"Later I saw the portrait on the wanted notice issued by Yancheng, and then I realized that this person was a key criminal who forced his way into the city lord's palace, so he quickly reported it to the official."

Guo Yan asked: "What about Qiao Lin's body?"

"It has been carried outside the house."

Guo Yan immediately walked out of the city lord's palace, opened the coffin lid, and immediately saw a familiar corpse. He identified it carefully and finally nodded.

"It's not a lie, this is indeed Qiao Lin's body."

By this time, he was finally determined.

The Xingxuan envoy of Wujihui cleared away his fear of the Qiao family.
