Looking at his younger sister, who seemed to have suffered a great injustice, Luo Yu felt a headache coming on:
"Why did you run out?"
"I... um..."
"Do Mother and Father know?"
"They... of course, they know."
Luo Yao stammered.
Luo Yu frowned:
"Then I'll write a letter to Mother and Father and ask what's going on."
"Boo hoo hoo, I almost died, and you're still scolding me! I don't want to live anymore, I should have just let someone beat me to death! You're a big bad guy too, Elder Brother!"
Luo Yao cried even louder, her whole body dirty, looking as miserable as could be. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Luo Yu's mouth twitched.
He clearly saw that while his sister was crying her eyes out, she secretly opened a small gap between her fingers, peeking to see if he felt distressed.
He was familiar with his sister's tricks.
But the people from Burning Jade Forest beside them all advised:
"Chief, Junior Sister Luo already knows her mistake, so let's not pursue it any further."
"Anyone who dares to touch someone from our Forest, no matter who they are, must pay the price, otherwise, they'll think we're all Confucian Junzi with no temper!"
"Junior Sister, don't be afraid. Your Senior Brother has read the books of Saints thoroughly and will certainly reason with the person who bullied you."
A Senior Brother took out a thick book of "Saint Sayings."
The book was not only thick but also inlaid with shining iron corners on all four sides.
Most of the Disciples of Burning Jade Forest came from powerful families. Although they practiced martial arts, they did not call themselves martial artists, considering it crude.
They wouldn't say "fight" but rather "reason."
Usually, the books of Saints could make the other party submit.
Luo Yu: "...."
Are you still not satisfied with how chaotic Fu City is?
"Prefect requests an audience."
After the announcement, Prefect Cui was invited in.
"It is my dereliction of duty to have allowed Miss Luo to suffer such injustice."
"Did you clearly see what the villain looked like?"
Upon learning that a Disciple of Burning Jade Forest had almost met with an accident, he was greatly shocked, very angry, and expressed deep apologies.
"It was Night Ghost Liu Heng," Luo Yao said.
Upon hearing this name, everyone's expressions turned cold.
No wonder.
Night Ghost Gang had committed evil deeds and was annihilated by Burning Jade Forest. It seemed they were seeking revenge.
"Liu Heng..."
Prefect Cui glanced at the Junzi Brush clutched in Luo Yao's hand, his eyes flickering slightly:
"I have heard of this villain."
"This person's martial arts are strange, and he usually only appears at night."
"This Prefect will send people to investigate..."
"That won't be necessary."
Luo Yao shook her head and said:
"He has already been beaten to death."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the agitated crowd froze. Then why were you crying so loudly just now?
But on second thought.
If Night Ghost Liu Heng hadn't died, Junior Sister wouldn't ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) have been able to return.
Thinking of this, a wave of lingering fear rose in their hearts. The young Junior Sister was usually pampered by the Forest Master, afraid she would fall if held too loosely, or melt if held too tightly. If anything happened to her, wouldn't the Forest Master go crazy?
Prefect Cui raised an eyebrow:
"Who killed Liu Heng?"
Luo Yao thought for a moment and said:
"Do you know Northwest Hammer King?"
Huh?
Everyone looked at each other, all bewildered.
They had only heard of people like Fist Saint, Sword Immortal, or Spear God. Who walks the Jianghu calling themselves Hammer King?
It didn't sound elegant or dashing at all.
"I haven't heard of him either." Luo Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"Then what about Hard Gang?"
Everyone: "....."
What kind of Genius Gang would take such a ridiculous name? It must be made up on the spot.
It could be confirmed that the other party had not revealed their true identity.
"What were the characteristics of that person?"
Prefect Cui asked thoughtfully.
"He wore an Azure Dragon mask, and his voice was very pleasant (a bubbly voice)."
"And when he swung his hammer, he was especially handsome. He was like a firefly in the dark, just standing there, he was so distinct, so outstanding..."
As Luo Yao spoke, her eyes sparkled with brilliant light.
No, how is a hammer handsome? What the hammer is handsome about?!
The Senior Brothers were a little jealous.
Prefect Cui's brows furrowed, then relaxed:
"If Miss Luo wishes to thank her savior, this Prefect will instruct people to help you pay attention."
"Okay, okay," Luo Yao nodded.
"Don't run around recklessly lately. Since the Prefect has already agreed, you shouldn't go out looking for him yourself."
Luo Yu warned his sister, then turned back:
"Prefect, I reviewed the recent files and found that children often go missing in Fu City."
"Since the Wu Jian Trial began, the number has increased day by day. Prefect, you should take this matter seriously."
"This Young Master will also find a way to investigate."
Prefect Cui, who had walked to the door, paused. Facing away from everyone, he was silent for a few breaths:
"Thank you, Young Master, for helping this Prefect."
.....
In the secret chamber.
Prefect Cui examined the booklet, looking thoughtfully at the names of the Huai Mountain Three Fiends on it.
Xiao Mituo had mentioned that these three were—Dragon, Tiger, and Leopard.
Dragon Head, skilled in using a hammer.
He should be the eldest brother among the Huai Mountain Three Fiends—Dragon Fiend.
He could even kill Liu Heng, who was in the Xuan Dan Realm?
This was truly a misjudgment on his part.
Moreover...
"Liu Heng... died well! Died well!"
"For a brush, he almost dragged me into eternal damnation!"
Prefect Cui gritted his teeth.
The other Disciples of Burning Jade Forest were fine, he could retaliate however he wanted, but it had to be Luo Yao, the most beloved youngest daughter of the Burning Jade Forest Master.
Burning Jade Forest Master Luo Yushu, a favored Disciple of the great Confucian Zhang Shou, and a classmate of the current Emperor. If he hadn't disliked officialdom, he would now be a high-ranking official overseeing a region.
If Luo Yao had really died, and the Junzi Brush had fallen into his hands...
Just thinking about it sent chills down his spine.
"Judge."
A subordinate's figure appeared.
"Has Liu Heng's body been found?"
"It has been found. It turned into a pile of ashes, and no fragments of his body were left behind. It was very clean."
The subordinate replied.
"Very good. This Dragon Fiend is indeed a meticulous person."
Prefect Cui breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but nod in praise.
You see, he acted discreetly, knowing how to hide his identity.
He was decisive in his actions, and after killing, he meticulously cleaned the scene, leaving no trace.
He was not greedy; the famous artifact was right in front of him, yet he still let it go with Luo Yao.
High in strength, meticulous in thought, and knows when to advance and retreat.
A natural-born killer!
The only minor flaw... probably his weapon.
What kind of killer uses a hammer?
"Send a message to Xiao Mituo, tell him to pay special attention to the Huai Mountain Three Fiends."
"Yes!"
"Has Jiang Chulong been found?"
"Reporting to Judge, she has been found. However, Mei Yun is still missing..."
"No matter, I'll see how long she can hide!"
After instructing his subordinate. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Prefect Cui opened the register himself.
Many names on it had already disappeared.
It was a bit strange.
Why are people dropping so quickly in this Wu Jian Trial?
At this rate, it won't be long before this Trial ends...
