52: What strength do you have?

Just as he was lamenting the disciples' words, suddenly, inside the room, a Law Enforcement Peak disciple diligently searching under Ye Yuchen's bed discovered the special Xiaoyao Sect identifier that Xu Xi had deliberately left yesterday.

He immediately reached out to touch it, and as he did, the disciple's hand trembled slightly.

Because if it truly was the Xiaoyao Sect's doing, then this matter would escalate significantly.

“Senior Brother Xun Ya, look at this thing...”

With the identifier in hand, after repeated examination, the Law Enforcement Peak disciple concluded in his heart that this was indeed the special identifier of the Xiaoyao Sect.

As sworn enemies, even if it were reduced to ashes, this Law Enforcement Peak disciple would recognize it.

Tremblingly handing the special identifier to Xun Ya, the Law Enforcement Peak disciple realized that the situation might be beyond their expectations.

Now, he could only hope that this matter was a deliberate frame-up.

“Is the Xiaoyao Sect really so audacious?”

“But... what special connection does Ye Yuchen have with the Xiaoyao Sect?”

“Would they take such a great risk to assassinate him?”

“Especially when Ye Yuchen has recently caused quite a stir...”

Taking the special identifier and placing it in his palm, Xun Ya observed it very clearly, and his expression gradually became solemn.

His originally calm face now seemed as if he were facing a formidable enemy, and he muttered to himself.

At the same time, there was a different kind of doubt in his heart.

Xun Ya was unsure what was so special about Ye Yuchen that would make the Xiaoyao Sect attach such importance to him.

“Could it be about the Spirit Stone Mine?”

“Originally, Ye Yuchen was part of Ye Xueqing’s team.”

“But then he suddenly left the team.”

“Given that kid Ye Yuchen’s ambition, he would never ignore such a great opportunity for merit.”

In an instant, Xun Ya’s thoughts were very agile, directly connecting Ye Yuchen’s incident to the Spirit Stone Mine.

And this seemingly casual guess actually turned out to be correct for Xun Ya.

However, Xun Ya did not guess more precisely that Ye Yuchen had incurred Xu Xi’s hatred.

“I will report this matter to the Peak Leader, and then it will be passed on to the Sect Leader’s wife.”

“Since a clue has been found, let’s temporarily conclude this stage.”

“Keep the room sealed and prevent any unauthorized personnel from entering, so as not to destroy the crime scene.”

Putting the identifier into his storage bag, and knowing the importance of this matter, Xun Ya dared not linger.

He immediately thought of informing Zhuge Zhengwo about this matter, because this was not something a single disciple like him could decide.

Matters involving external sects must be decided by high-ranking elders on how to resolve them.

With that, he instructed the other Law Enforcement Peak disciples to guard the area and seal off the scene, then Xun Ya turned and left.

His steps were quick, no longer as unhurried as his usual patrol duties.

“They really took the bait, huh...”

“Didn’t that just hook you all like a bigmouth bass?”

Outside Ye Yuchen’s room, Xu Xi, after a night’s rest, naturally also came to the crime scene.

How does that saying go? Criminals often like to return to the crime scene to observe their masterpiece.

Yesterday, it was his first time committing murder and arson, and Xu Xi couldn't help but feel a bit thrilled.

Afterward, he engaged in an even more intense and thrilling battle with Zhao Yaqian to forcefully suppress his fluctuating emotions.

And that night, there seemed to be an unusual impulse guiding Xu Xi to continuously increase the intensity of his attacks.

Under the relentless assault of Xu Xi’s fierce attacks, Zhao Yaqian still hadn’t recovered, lying on the bed with a vacant look in her eyes.

The bedside was also extremely messy, with torn strips of cloth and sticky bedding, all hinting at the extraordinary nature of that battle.

Arriving at the scene and seeing Xun Ya and the others find the special Xiaoyao Sect identifier he had deliberately left, Xu Xi’s mouth curved into a hook shape, transforming into a crooked-mouthed war god.

Beside Xu Xi, seemingly sensing his mischievous grin, the other disciples looked at Xu Xi’s curved mouth and were all surprised.

“Senior Brother Xu Xi isn’t having an epileptic fit, is he? Can a normal person really make that kind of curve?”

“You talk too much, aren’t you afraid of losing your life? If Senior Brother Xu Xi hears you, wouldn’t he take your dog’s life?”

Whispers circulated, expressing their various feelings.

“Junior Brother Xu, what are you doing here? Are you also here to join the fun?”

“Many people are seeing you as the mastermind behind this incident, shouldn’t you avoid the limelight?”

Xun Ya, leaving the room, was about to rush off but also saw Xu Xi, who had come to join the excitement.

Shaking his head, he also saw Xu Xi’s strange smile, and couldn't help but ask, while also reminding him to be careful in his actions recently, lest he be caught, or Xu Xin would have a hard time.

“Of course, I’m here to see my dearest friend, Junior Brother Ye Yuchen. No matter what, I am his Senior Brother, and it’s normal to come and offer condolences when someone dies. What, have I violated the sect’s rules?”

He had thought Xun Ya would just leave, but unexpectedly, he still had to warn him before leaving.

Xu Xi’s damned rebellious psychology “whoosh” came right up.

He retorted sharply, his sarcastic tone, both overt and covert, was so obvious that even Xun Ya knew he was being mocked but couldn’t refute it.

“Words can lead to trouble, Junior Brother Xu. You should still pay attention to your actions, otherwise, one day you might end up like Junior Brother Ye.”

An unprovoked anger erupted from Xun Ya’s heart, but after a moment of thought, he could only give this response, and then Xun Ya immediately left the place.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Threaten me? Do you have the ability? What is your status, and what is mine?

With a slight pout, as if his mouth was smeared with honey, Xu Xi naturally didn’t take Xun Ya’s verbal threat to heart.

After all, what ability did Xun Ya have?

Of course, after the sarcasm, Xu Xi also chose to leave the place. The fun was over, and it was time to attend to serious matters.

From Ye Yuchen’s storage bag last night, Xu Xi had discovered something extraordinary.

A recording stone clearly documented Ye Yuchen’s meeting with Wang Hengtian, and Ye Yuchen personally told Wang Hengtian the news that Xu Xi was going to the Spirit Stone Mine.

Regardless of whether Wang Hengtian was involved in the leak, Xu Xi believed he should test the other party.

If the other party really leaked it, then Xu Xi wouldn’t mind sending him on his way to experience the warmth of hell... “Sect Leader... Xuan Ye’s matter...”

“Enough!”

“Didn’t I tell you all to shut up? Did you not understand what I said, or do you think you’ve learned to speak properly?”

At the Xiaoyao Sect, another sect meeting was held in the main hall, but this time, Jiang Chengyun was not as spirited as he was last time.
