Today, when the sky was just starting to brighten, Miao Liuer woke up, combed his hair, put on his clothes and pushed open the door as he headed towards the training grounds. The Penglai sect leader had just passed away, the training grounds were no longer bustling with noise and excitement. There were only a few disciples training in the field, Miao Liuer stretched his neck out to take a look, but he did not see the person she was looking for.

"Where is your Eldest Brother?" She pulled a passing disciple and asked.

"Hey, Big Senior, don't mention it. Ever since sect leader passed away, Big Senior has not been able to recover from his exhaustion. He should still be in his room right now." The young disciple shook his head and sighed regretfully. Since yesterday, Mu Yangxin had been guarding beside sect leader's corpse the entire time. Before the granules even entered, he couldn't bear to watch any further and forced Mu Yangxin back into his room.

Miao Liuer then walked towards Mu Yangxin's room and stopped at the door. She looked up to the sky, where the sun had yet to rise and the distant hills were only a tinge of ink. It must be very inappropriate for a girl like her, who had yet to leave the pavilion, to enter a man's room alone.

Just then, Hua Yunshu walked over on the bluestone path. Seeing Miao Liuer who was hesitating, he knew that she must be here to comfort him, so he walked over and knocked on Mu Yangxin's door. The door was not locked, and with a light tap, it opened.

"Brother Mu?" Miao Liuer called out from outside.

The two of them pushed open the door and walked in. The two saw Mu Yangxin lying on the bed on his side, but he was a little slovenly the way he usually dressed. The hair that was always meticulously tied up on the top of his head was also a mess, and some green and black stubble was even emerging from his chin.

Seeing him like this, Hua Yunshu couldn't bear to look straight at him.

Miao Liuer walked forward and looked at Mu Yangxin, then carefully said: "Brother Mu, you must pull yourself together! The cause of death of sect leader has yet to be determined, and Penglai is also lacking a backbone at the moment, what if you fall too. " Although Miao Liuer was not a Pang Lai, looking at his friends who lived and died together with him, he did not feel good.

Mu Yangxin who was lying on the bed turned over, his eyes still looking at the ceiling, his face expressionless. Hua Yunshu stood in place for a while, unable to bear the sight, he walked to the side of the bed and waved his right hand in front of Mu Yangxin's eyes, but Mu Yangxin remained expressionless, and did not even move his eyelids. He elegantly rolled up his sleeves, then raised his hand and ruthlessly slapped Mu Yangxin's face, cursing at him, "Mu Yangxin, you useless trash! If you don't go and find out who the real culprit is after sect leader's death, you will only pretend to hesitate here. Even the spirit of the sect leader in heaven will feel humiliated!" His feelings were sincere and his grip strength was good. It only made people feel pain but not hurt.

Miao Liuer was frozen at the side, seeing that Hua Yunshu looked like he was about to swing his palm a second time, he anxiously rushed over to stop him, and Mu Yangxin who was lying on the bed finally had another expression, and started crying. Something like that.

That afternoon, Mu Yangxin appeared in sect leader's mourning hall, dressed neatly. It was obvious from the light in his eyes that he had regained his spirits. He walked in front of Hua Yunshu and cupped his hands to him: "Thank you for your warning, Brother Hua."

Hua Yunshu was startled, and felt a little embarrassed, "Sure, sure."

"There is one more thing I would like to ask of you, brother Hua, for you to promise me. I am not aware of sect leader's death, I hope brother Hua can keep it a secret for the time being." Mu-Mu

Yang Xin looked at Miao Liuer who was standing at the side and said, "Miss Miao, please keep this a secret for Yang Xin first."

Hearing this, Hua Yunshu frowned slightly, then expressed his understanding and agreed. Miao Liuer's eyes flashed for a moment and also nodded his head.

After speaking, the three of them started to investigate the cause of death of sect leader, they went to sect leader's study, which was the place where the corpses were found. These two days, the Penglai people intentionally kept the place where corpses were found, the table, chairs and other objects inside the room were not moved, the three of them checked again, and there were no obvious traces of a battle at the place.

Mu Yangxin walked to the chair that sect leader usually sat on and sat down. With a glance, he saw an exquisite teacup lying on the ground under the desk. He vaguely remembered that it was the smell of Chu Grass. Chu Grass was a type of poisonous grass that could kill people. After three days of waiting, when one was close enough to smell the smell, one would be able to smell a terrible stench, and if a person's corpse was dissected, the person's stomach would turn dark.

Mu Yangxin's gaze turned cold as he rushed into the mourning hall. He saw Mu Hanlie at first glance, "Third Senior Master, I want to cut open Master's body to investigate." In one breath, he ran over and announced to Mu Hanlie before he even had a chance to catch his breath.

Mu Hanlie frowned. Even someone as calm as him was angered when he heard this, "Yang Xin! "You shut up." He roared at Mu Yangxin.

Seeing this, Mu Xianyang advised, "Junior Brother, why don't you listen to what Yang Xin has to say first."

"Thank you, Uncle Master." Mu Yangxin was also aware of his slip of tongue, he looked at Mu Xianyang gratefully, "We just found this cup in sect leader's study room." Mu Yangxin presented his cup to Mu Xianyang.

Mu Hanyi took it over and examined it. "This is just an ordinary porcelain cup. What's so special about this? There's a pair of identical cups in my room."

"Martial Uncle, smell it."

Mu Xianyang brought the cup close to his nose and sniffed. "Chu grass." He turned to look at Mu Yangxin, and understood why Mu Yangxin suddenly ran over to dissect sect leader's corpse, "Who exactly is so vicious?" On one hand, their cultivators paid attention to the integrity of their bodies, and even after death, their remains could not be disposed of as they wished. On the other hand, they did not know about the cause of death of sect leader, so they already had some clues when they found the cup with the Chu grass in the study. However, they were not completely sure that sect leader died from eating the Chu grass, and in order to find out, the only way was to unravel sect leader's stomach and check if his stomach had turned black.

"Yang Xin, dissecting the sect leader's corpse is a big matter, and it is not something that Martial Uncle can decide. You can go back first, I will discuss it with your Martial Uncle and the others." Mu Yuanyang said.

The three of them had no choice but to return. When Miao Liuer returned to his room, he did not have any rest. She took a carrier pigeon from the cage, took a pen from the desk and wrote a line of words on the paper. She tied the slip of paper to the pigeon's leg and released it, and the pigeon flew towards the direction where Su He was.
