Chapter XXVIII. Words without argument

When Lu Yi, who was still in shock, heard the commotion, she turned around to look at Jin Jian. Her eyes were filled with fear.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yi stood in front of Jin Jian. Although Jin Jian couldn't see what was going on in the room, he could smell the stench of blood. He could not help but ask in surprise.

Lu Yi looked at Jin Jian, while her eyes flickered with uncertainty. "She, they …"

"What is going on?" When Jin Jian saw her flustered, he reached out his hand and pushed her aside. When he saw the scene in the room, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.

A man and a woman were lying on a bed in the room. Their bodies were soaked in blood and they had stopped breathing. Both of them had been drained of blood and died. Their faces were pale, filled with astonishment, their eyes protruding out like dead fish.

The two of them were tied together by a long rope. That long rope was the jade colored rope that had previously hit Jin Jian.

Jin Jian looked at Lu Yi. "You killed them?"

Lu Yi immediately shook her head and said, "It wasn't me, it really wasn't me!"

Jin Jian pointed at the two corpses in front of him. "But why are your chains tied to them?"

"This …" "I, I just tied them up! "I, I really don't, I didn't, you believe me, I, I knew it, I knew it, you would definitely suspect me, I knew it, you would never believe me, because I'm from the Blood Family!"

Jin Jian saw that her hands were covering her head as she continued to speak further and further away. He was extremely flustered, "If you didn't kill them, then why are you so flustered? Why did you lie to me that the owner of this house was two old ladies when you didn't let me come in to bid them farewell?"

Lu Yi's heart chilled as she suddenly felt a sense of despair. She felt that she couldn't explain herself clearly this time around.

However, Jin Jian refused to let them go. "And your long chain wouldn't be tied to these two people for no reason either! Can you tell me what's going on? "

Lu Yi's mind was in a mess. "You, don't ask me, okay? I really don't know what's going on." Let me tell you, from the extreme cold, you are unconscious, understand? I put you up behind my back, but because you have a pair of fins behind your back, people here think you're a Strigoi, and no one wants to keep us, do you understand? I was very tired then, and I was even more afraid that something would happen to you, do you understand? "

"I understand."

"You don't understand, do you think I'm lying to you!? You think I killed them, this old couple, they were the last family I ever asked, they agreed to stay the night, but then they saw you, they wanted to throw us out, they cursed me, no one ever cursed me. I was mad. I just, knocked them out and tied them up. I thought you wouldn't wake up tonight. "

"You don't need to say these …"

Then what do you want me to say? I really don't know how they died! That's right, I harmed them. If I didn't tie them up, they wouldn't have died so silently. It was all my fault, it's all my fault, alright! " "Green Yi screamed wildly. Finally, she hugged her head and crouched down, sobbing.

"What happened to you?" Jin Jian walked over to her and looked at her. "I just want to know."

"You don't need to say anymore. I know you suspect me. I know that I myself am not a good person."

Jin Jian took a deep breath and said, "I don't know if you are a good person or not, but I don't think you killed these two!"

Lu Yi's body shuddered as she raised her head to look at Jin Jian. "What did you say?"

Jin Jian looked into her eyes and said, "I said, I know that you didn't kill these two people."

Lu Yi blinked.

Jin Jian continued, "But you suddenly became excited and even said a lot of things that I don't know what's going on."

Lu Yi blinked, wiped her tears, and said, "I'm afraid you won't believe me."

Jin Jian pointed to the corpses of the two old men and said, "These two don't know martial arts. If you want to kill them, it's very easy. Why do you need to tie them up before making a move?" This is too out of tune with your Eldest Miss's temper. "

Lu Yi's eyes were watery as she stared at Jin Jian and said, "Does that mean you believe me?"

Jin Jian said, "I believe you."

Lu Yi and her pair of eyes were fixed on Jin Jian's face, causing his face to turn red. She turned around and examined the corpses of the two old men.

"Wah!" Lu Yi suddenly threw herself on Jin Jian's back and started crying.

This scared Jin Jian senseless. He wanted to turn around, but Lu Yi hugged him so tightly that he couldn't move. He could only say, "You, what happened to you? What are you crying for? "

Lu Yi said, "You scared me to death. I thought you wouldn't believe me. I thought you'd suspect me."

Jin Jian said, "Are you afraid of me?"

Lu Yi said, "I'm not afraid of you. I'm just afraid that you won't believe me." I can really do this kind of thing, but I won't do it in front of you. I'm afraid you think I'm a bad person. "

Jin Jian said, "Whether it's a good person or a bad person, it's not something others feel. It's something that's made by oneself."

Lu Yi said, "But I only care about how you feel."

Jin Jian was stunned. "What do you care about my feelings?"

"En!"

"Do you only care about how I feel?"

Lu Yi looked into her eyes. "That's right!"

Jin Jian only felt his heart suddenly begin to thump wildly as he thought to himself, "It's over, this is the trouble that master said, right?" She hurriedly pushed Lu Yi away and said, "You … don't you hate me the most?"

Lu Yi frowned. "Idiot, when did that happen? I forgot."

Jin Jian said, "Those things happened not long ago, and happened less than two months ago. Aren't you forgetting it too quickly?"

Lu Yi clenched her teeth, "Then what do you want to do?"

Jin Jian said, "I want... "That's not right!" With that, Jin Jian suddenly turned around to look at the two corpses on the ground.

Lu Yi asked, "Where's the mistake?"

Jin Jian looked at the two corpses in front of him and said, "The culprits are invisible. The blood of the two dead have already been drained, but there are only two small wounds on their necks. Furthermore, when they were committing murder, they did not alarm the two of us."

Lu Yi said, "So what?"

Jin Jian said, "If that's the case, then it's impossible that this murderer doesn't know about our side room."

Lu Yi scratched her head. "Why do they know we'll be sleeping in the side room?"

Jin Jian said, "Because you tied them up using your dragon tendons and jade rope. Anyone would be able to tell that there are experts nearby. As long as they see that there are experts nearby, they will search everywhere and it will not be difficult to find us."

Lu Yi said, "But they didn't notice us."

Jin Jian said, "That's not right. It's because they already knew we were here."

Lu Yi's body shuddered. "What did you say?"

Jin Jian said, "It's because they knew we were here that they did not suspect the jade rope that bound them and did not track us down."

Lu Yi nodded. "I seem to understand a bit, but why would they do that?"

Jin Jian said, "Because..."

At this time, a voice suddenly came in from outside the door, and a person said:

"Are you here?"

Another person answered, "I saw them knock on Master Liu's door with my own eyes last night and didn't come out again after that. It seems like Master Liu took them in."

"Old Liu is a kind person. I'm afraid he would do something like this."

"Everyone who talked to that woman is dead. If Grandpa Liu lets them stay, then Uncle Liu's situation will be very dangerous."

"That's right!"

"Look, the door is locked from the inside."

"Shout a few times."

"Don't shout, be careful. The people inside are listening."

"Those people who practice martial arts have good ears. Don't even talk until you can hear our footsteps. They already knew we were coming."

"Then I'll call out a few times — Grandpa Liu …"

Hearing the knock on the door, Jin Jian said the following words: "I didn't guess wrong."

At this moment, Lu Yi was confused and couldn't help but ask, "What did you guess wrong?"

Jin Jian said, "The reason why this murderer killed is precisely for — to blame us!" As he said that, Jin Jian grabbed onto Lu Yi's arm and leaped up, bringing her up onto the roof.

At the same time, there was a bang as the door outside was broken open and a group of farmers and villagers bustled in.

When these people saw the bodies of Lord Liu and his wife lying on the ground, the crowd was immediately enraged.

"We need to find the patriarch and have him take someone to the Blood Family for an explanation."

"Yes!" "Go find the chief, go find the chief!"

The voice of the Clan Chief was so loud that it could shake the heavens.

"Be quiet."

"Village Head, what do you have to say?"

"Everyone, as the saying goes, after chasing after a thief, one must catch the dirty. The matter of finding the Blood Tribe to interrogate them for their crimes is not an easy matter." "If there is no evidence for this, even if it gets to the Patriarch, there is nothing we can do about it!"

"What other evidence is there? Besides the male and female Strigoi in our village, who else could do such a thing?"

"That's right. We will not rest until we've taken more than thirty lives!"

"Everyone, quiet down for a moment. Listen to me."

"Everyone, quiet down. Let's listen to the Patriarch's opinion first."

"Go ahead, Patriarch."

"What I mean is, because of the lack of energy in the clan, the Patriarch has to deal with it every day, and the relationship between the two races are even more important. After all, in this kind of situation where resources are scarce, the two races do not wish for war to occur, but I heard that the Blood Tribe used despicable means to force a lot of resources from us every year. So, they definitely do not want their relationship with us to break down. I feel that if we want to uphold justice for the dead, we need to first call upon the villagers to bring the couple over to the chief. "

"The Village Chief is right."

"But where can I find the couple?"

"Why don't we invite everyone to visit our old friends in the nearby villages. Tell them about our current situation and tell them to be careful of this couple."

"Right, let's not use Empyreal Net. Let's see where they can run to."

"Exactly."

"There's no time to lose, let's go!"

"There's no hurry. Let's bury the corpses of Old Liu and the two men and the village's victims first."

"Alright, let's go!"

After the commotion, four people from the village came out to move the two bodies out of the house. Everyone then dispersed.

After the bustling noise disappeared, Jin Jian and Lu Yi both jumped down from the rafters.

Lu Yi looked outside with her small head and said to Jin Jian, "Hey, why are you letting them talk nonsense and not letting me come down to explain it clearly?"

Jin Jian said, "Just now, the moment you appeared, don't say that you explained yourself clearly. Before you even opened your mouth, they would rush forward and tear you apart."

Lu Yi snorted and said, "Tell them to charge up and try. Who knows who might have torn who to pieces?"

Jin Jian said, "That's why I didn't tell you to get down because I was afraid that you would tear them apart."

Lu Yi said, "So you were doing it for them …"

Jin Jian said, "Of course it's for ourselves. This is the territory of our Ice Origin Clan. If you were to cause trouble, it would only get worse and worse."

Lu Yi nodded her head and said, "But these people are too hateful. Even that Village Chief has some reason."

Jin Jian laughed coldly. "That's right. He is being reasonable, but he understands it too well. It's scary."

When Lu Yi heard this, she was confused. "What do you mean by that?"

Jin Jian said, "He kept saying that resources are difficult at the moment and that it is not appropriate for the two races to fight each other. However, he decided to tell us about the matter of your Blood Tribe cheating on our Ice Origin Tribe's resources. Wasn't this deliberately provoking public outrage? In the end, we put forward a plan of an inescapable net, so that we have nowhere to live. Is that not terrifying enough? "

Lu Yi widened her eyes and said, "Then what should we do?"

Jin Jian said, "We'll stay here temporarily."

"I understand, the most dangerous place is the safest place."

"The most important thing is to monitor the Village Head."

Lu Yi said, "Why?"

Jin Jian said, "Why are you so stupid?"

"Humph!" "I knew it. You were just trying to find a reason to scold me."

Jin Jian said, "I'm fine. Why would I have to find a chance to scold you? "Think about it, this village chief is the village chief. If it's only for his own villagers, all he has to do is agree with my master's suggestion. Why are you hiding your head and showing your tail so obliquely?"

Lu Yi said, "Yeah, why can't I understand it?"

Jin Jian said, "That's why I said you're stupid!"

Lu Yi said, "Hmph!" You only know about it? "

Jin Jian said, "Of course I know. An ordinary Village Head would not have such a plan. I think it must be someone instigating him from behind the scenes."

Lu Yi said, "The person who instigated him?"

Jin Jian said, "It's that person who killed the two innocent old men."
