Starting from the pharmacy, he grew into a martial saint among men.

Su Changchuan frowned and said, "I, Su Changchuan, have always been upright and honest, and have never done anything that is morally wrong."

"Her revenge is completely unfounded; young hero, you'd better not meddle in her affairs."

He gave a cool, aloof smile and stood there beside the woman in yellow.

"Master Su, we'll know the truth once she explains it."

After saying this, she turned to look at the woman in yellow and whispered words of comfort:

"Don't be afraid, I am a disciple of the Seven Star Palace. Today I will stand up for you. Just tell the truth and I will uphold justice for you."

Beside him, Chu Hong looked puzzled. Why did Qingqing suddenly rush out? Wouldn't this cause an unexpected problem?

Xiao Yi, who knew the true extent of Qingqing's situation, whispered to Chu Hong:

"Junior Brother Chu, don't worry, Senior Sister wouldn't do such a thing without reason."

The woman in yellow, caught in the middle of the situation, was already cursing in her heart. She glanced at Chu Hong with resentment and bitterness.

Wasn't Chu Hong supposed to be a friendly person?

How could he not play the hero and save the damsel in distress when he encountered a vulnerable woman like himself, burdened with hatred?

And what are you doing, woman? Mind your own business!

Despite having many thoughts in her mind, the woman in yellow nodded with extreme 'gratitude'.

Her eyes immediately reddened, tears streamed down her face, and she began to sob and lament.

It was nothing more than a while ago, when the woman's younger brother, who depended on her for survival, heard that the manor was recruiting guards while she was away, he came to apply, but after entering the manor, he disappeared without a trace.

Later, only news of their death was sent back; their remains were not even handed over to them.

She keenly sensed that her younger brother must have been murdered by the Sword Manor, so she searched everywhere, but found no clues.

She came to the villa seeking an explanation, but each time she was forcefully driven away. The other party even threatened that if she dared to harass her again, they would cripple her and throw her into a brothel.

Left with no other choice, she had to risk her life to avenge her brother.

Chu Hong frowned slightly after hearing this explanation.

This explanation is full of flaws, and the reason for revenge is extremely far-fetched.

Everyone knows that the Sword Manor is full of powerful figures.

As a martial artist, it is absolutely impossible for someone to knowingly break into a manor and attempt an assassination when the strength difference is so great.

Like Cui Yu, secretly improving one's strength and slowly making plans is the best choice.

But this woman in yellow insisted on forcing her way in and even attempted to assassinate Su Changchuan, who was ranked twentieth on the kill list.

This behavior is ridiculous and laughable no matter how you look at it.

However, Qingqing seemed to believe the woman in yellow's words. She patted the woman in yellow's back gently, like a best friend.

He gently comforted her, offering her his deepest comfort.

"Don't be afraid, young lady. We will stand up for you. Today, we will make sure that Master Su gives you an explanation."

"As for your brother's remains, we'll search the entire village to find them for you!"

As she said this, Qingqing suddenly raised her head, turned to Su Changchuan, and said coldly:

"Master Su, it's your turn."

"Don't blame us for meddling. We disciples of the Seven Star Palace uphold justice and cannot tolerate your bullying of the weak."

The woman in yellow inwardly groaned, feeling utterly disgusted with Qingqing.

You can do whatever you want, but let Chu Hong come over here. What are you doing blocking the way?

Su Changchuan was now completely exasperated. Yesterday, he and the woman in yellow had only briefly discussed their plan, and they had even set their sights on Chu Hong.

This was intended to help the woman in the yellow shirt get closer to Chu Hong.

Unexpectedly, this woman suddenly appeared today, disrupting their plans.

But as the head of the manor, his reaction was extremely quick. He simply waved for everyone to leave and spoke in a deep voice:

"Young hero, the manor did recruit a group of guards some time ago, but our recruitment test only looked at martial arts and strength. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to die during the test."

"Young lady, what's your brother's name? I'll send someone to check immediately to see if he really had an accident at the resort, what do you say?"

"Now, why don't you come with me into the village and rest for a while?"

Qingqing nodded in agreement, shook the woman in yellow, and whispered:

"Little sister, what's your little brother's name? Tell him quickly."

Left with no other choice, the woman in yellow had to give the name "Wang Ping".

Qingqing immediately said coldly, "Send people to investigate immediately. If you can't produce it, don't blame me for turning your manor upside down."

"Little sister, let's go!"

Qingqing put her arm around the woman in the yellow dress and gestured for her to come along.

The woman in yellow wanted to shake off the man, but could only helplessly wipe away her tears as Qingqing supported her as they walked step by step.

Along the way, she kept glancing at Chu Hong, who had no expression, with the resentment in her eyes becoming more and more obvious.

A thought flashed through Chu Hong's mind, and he kept a close eye on the woman in yellow.

Naturally, he could immediately see the resentful look on this person's face and was even more certain that there was something wrong with him.

However, Qingqing's handling of the situation is really great so far.

Using the pretext of finding remains, they might actually be able to turn Sword Manor upside down.

Even if it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter.

Their own cases can also be used.

In short, this time we must thoroughly investigate the inside and outside of the villa and get to the bottom of things.

"Young heroes, please come in!"

Led by Su Changchuan, the group walked through layers of corridors and passed through several courtyards before finally arriving at the reception room.

As everyone took their seats, maids immediately came to serve tea to them.

Su Changchuan sat in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over Chu Hong and Xiao Yi, and said politely:

"I have already arranged for someone to investigate Wang Ping's matter. May I ask if there is any other important matter that brings you here today, young hero? I will not refuse to do anything that our manor can do to help."

Xiao Yi stood up, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Su Changchuan, and said solemnly:

"Master Su, to be honest, we have come to your door today with an important matter that requires your cooperation."

He didn't beat around the bush, recounting in detail the events of the Seven Star Palace disciples who went out for training and whose life flames were extinguished and who went missing, and explaining the clues he found along the way.

"Because the place where my junior brother had the accident was relatively close to your manor, and some people had personally witnessed the Second Manor Master leading a team through the area during that period."

"We have come here to ask Master Su in person what he saw and heard at the time, and to see if we can find any clues."

Xiao Yi only recounted the case of his junior brother's disappearance, while omitting the incident of Chu Hong's elder brother being kidnapped.

This is the result of the three people's discussion last night.

First, they would use the pretext of searching for someone at the Seven Star Palace to test the manor's strengths and weaknesses, then seize the opportunity to gain leverage over Su Changli, and even control him, so that they could delve deeper into the missing person case.

Upon hearing this, Su Changchuan unconsciously paused, holding his teacup.

His expression remained unchanged, and he adopted a cooperative demeanor, smiling as he said:

"So that's what it is. Everyone can rest assured that the entire Sword Manor will fully cooperate with the investigation."

As he spoke, he changed the subject, deliberately frowning and revealing a hint of helplessness:

"Unfortunately, my younger brother set off for the prefectural city a few days ago to purchase supplies, and he is not in the manor at the moment, so I'm afraid he can't cooperate in person."

As he said this, noticing that Xiao Yi and the others didn't look too good, he immediately added:

"However, the guards and servants who accompanied my brother that day are still at the manor. I will send someone to summon them all."

"Please feel free to ask, they will not hide anything from you."
