Chapter 1652: Hidden murderous intent (44)

The small courtyard arranged for Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming is very remote, basically at the junction of the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard.

At the same time, it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time, causing a thick layer of dust to spread all over the small courtyard, and a gentle touch would bring up the dust everywhere.

Looking at this scene, Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming were not surprised.

The fourth elder said calmly: "You guys came too suddenly, and we have a lot of things going on recently, so we didn't have time to clean this small courtyard, so let's make do with it for now."

It seems that he knows how poisonous Xu Yeming's mouth is.

The fourth elder did not give the two a chance to interrupt, and then said: "Get some rest first. I will send someone to take you to visit Cangxuan Academy later. If you have any requests, you can also ask."

After saying that, the fourth elder glanced at Xu Yeming and left directly.

Looking at the dilapidated scenes around him, Ye Qiubai smiled and said, "It seems we are quite unpopular."

Xu Yeming released his spirit, swept away the dust in the small courtyard, and then pulled two battle-damaged chairs over to sit down.

"Senior Brother, did you notice something was wrong with the way the First Elder and the Fourth Elder looked at us just now?" Xu Yeming recalled the scene just now and thought thoughtfully: "Especially when they looked at me..."

Ye Qiubai has a clear sword heart, so he is most sensitive to these obscure emotional fluctuations and eyes. He nodded and said: "It's a little strange. Fortunately, the great elder didn't mean any harm, but when the fourth elder looked at you, junior brother Xu, A little surprised, and at the same time a little murderous..."

Xu Yeming frowned: "I have never seen these four elders."

Hearing this, Ye Qiubai smiled: "I think we have found out who should start the investigation."

Xu Yeming was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

The purpose of their coming here is to investigate what happened during the year when Xu Canghai joined Cangxuan College.

Now it seems that the rumors are most likely correct.

Judging from the time point, a few days before Xu Yeming's father Xu Canghai and mother Bai Qingxin were hunted down, it was when Xu Canghai left Cangxuan College.

As long as this rumor is correct, then something terrible might have happened to Xu Canghai in Cangxuan College.

Cangxuan Academy may also have played a role that cannot be seen.

And... Judging from the way the fourth elder looked at Xu Yeming, he was probably already doubting Xu Yeming's identity.

After all, Xu Yeming's surname is Xu, and as Xu Canghai's son, he naturally has the same blood and aura.

It is not difficult to realize this when reaching the level of the Fourth Elder.

As Ding Xuan walked inside, the secret door automatically closed, and the existence of the secret door could not be seen with the naked eye...

...

The fourth elder's residence.

Yang Huan looked at the fourth elder with a cold and arrogant face, and said: "Master, why did the dean allow people from Qingxiao College to come to our college? How can they deserve it?"

The fourth elder shook his head and said: "This is not something you can guess. Just practice hard."

As he spoke, the fourth elder's eyes slowly became darker, as if he was thinking about something.

Yang Huan didn't bother him when he saw this.

Until the fourth elder spoke again, "When the time comes, find a reason to spar with Xu Yeming. Don't kill him, just force him to use his full strength."

Yang Huan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Also, no one seems willing to take the two people from Qingxiao Academy around the academy, right?"

The fourth elder pondered for a while.

"It seems that the Xuanyuan family has some grudges with that Ye Qiubai? That's good. Let's reveal the news to the Xuanyuan family. I think they will be happy to send someone over."

...

At this time.

In a waterfall bamboo forest, the great elder sat cross-legged on a smooth stone, but he was not practicing, but looked at the bamboo forest in front of him dully.

The images that came back to my mind flashed through my mind like a fleeting horse.

Suddenly he murmured in a low voice: "After so many years, have you finally returned to Cangxuan Continent?"

"But... wouldn't it be too risky to come back now? Moreover, the Xu family and the Xuanyuan family have become stronger together now. If they are not handled well, what happened back then may happen again."

Think of this.

The Great Elder's face slowly became resolute. He took a deep breath and stood up. He looked at Zhuhai in front of him and said softly: "I couldn't help you back then. If the identity of that kid is confirmed, I will protect him in Cangxuan Academy." No worries...even if you give up this old life."

Three full days have passed.

Although there were people shouting outside the small courtyard where Ye Qiubai and the two were, there was still no one to take them around the academy. On this day, a man with a sword on his waist came here and said loudly: "Xuanyuan's Xuanyuan Che, entrusted by the college, is here to take the two students of Qingxiao College on a tour of the college!"
