Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 273 He is indeed closely related to us

They looked at him doubtfully, but they couldn't find any words to refute him and could only let him go. The captain of the guards looked at the gate and scratched his head, "Wait!"

He suddenly stopped and turned back with a questioning look. The chief guard stepped forward and said, "Although the gate is destroyed, I only saw you here."

Tang Xuanze immediately calmed down and looked serious, "What do you mean? Do you suspect me of something else?"

The chief guard immediately changed his attitude, "I dare not, I am just doing my job impartially."

But as soon as he left, he ordered one of the guards to report to Eunuch Qu Shi.

Tang Xuanze still had a trick up his sleeve. The door-smashing incident just now was quite strange, so he used a magic trick on them all. However, they forgot what they had just thought and seen in a moment.

Tang Xuanze felt that this matter was not simple. He had heard that the demon cultivators had been wreaking havoc on the world for a long time, and that the demon cultivators had also attacked the capital of Dongli some time ago.

But he was not a deserter. He was invited by Eunuch Qushi to investigate the truth of the death of Lord Anhou's mansion. It was just that the matter was too strange and bizarre, so he gave up.

"Who just smashed the door of this mansion... Why does it seem so coincidental..."

As Tang Xuanze was walking, he met a monk from Xiaoyao Mansion who was delivering a letter, so he went over to chat with him. The monk was also cautious and did not reveal a word.

Mu Huayan and the others were standing in front of a store that specialized in selling magic tools. Behind them stood a man in a cloak.

"The magic weapons here are not that great." Mu Qing said honestly.

So the shopkeeper came out to argue with her, and Xin Ce chose a way to go behind the man in the black cloak. By the time Tang Xuanze reacted, Xin Ce had already put a short blade against his back, "Be quiet and move!"

Mu Huayan tilted her head to signal Xin Ce to move the short blade. Tang Xuanze saw that she had no ill intentions so he smiled and said, "Why did you catch me, young lady?"

She snapped her fingers and the cloak and mask fell off. Tang Xuanze tried to grab them in a panic. She said, "Hey, isn't this the little hooligan from that day?"

"Miss, you got the wrong person, right?" He refused to admit it and smiled awkwardly.

Mu Qing, who had won the argument with the boss, turned around and caught a glimpse of him. He immediately became angry and pointed at him and shouted, "Aren't you the little hooligan who harassed me that day?"

The people around him stopped and criticized him for being so handsome but doing such shocking things. They also said that if there wasn't a man with the two girls,

I had no idea what outrageous thing he would do. He was scolded to pieces and his face was filled with guilt.

So he was forced by the people to apologize to Mu Qing, and said with tears in his eyes: "I, Tang Xuanze, would like to apologize to both of you. Is this okay?"

"What else? Why are you following us?" Mu Huayan asked.

"It's not really tracking, it's just secretly investigating the case. The case is too complicated and dangerous so..."

"So you are working for Eunuch Qu Shi?" There was a hint of indifference in Mu Huayan's eyes.

He quickly waved his hand and explained to them, but he had never expected that the people he was investigating would be them.

Of course, he was not attracted by their beauty. Well, actually, he gave up helping Qu Shi because of their beauty.

"But I believe that Lord Su was not killed by the three of you, and you have no reason to kill him. I also think this case is too strange and full of doubts..."

"Since you believe that we are not the murderer, please don't follow us anymore." Mu Huayan took Mu Qing's hand and left.

But he followed and explained with a smile, "It's like this, I think this case must be related to you, because..."

Xin Ce's short blade pressed against his chest, and he gave up and did not continue to follow. He still did not give up and shouted in the street, "Since I have offended the two girls before, you must give me a chance to atone for my sins!"

It really worked. People on the street stopped to persuade Mu Huayan and the others, saying that since he was so sincere, they should just agree to his request. However, some people objected. After all, he was a man. What if...

Mu Huayan couldn't stand it anymore and walked forward with a fake smile, "Do you know why Su Jing died? It's because he was related to us. Someone is using his death to get rid of us with the help of the government!"

Tang Xuanze was stunned for a moment, but his face showed no expression. He followed Mu Huayan when she walked a little further away. Not only was he not afraid, he also had a strong interest in the identities of Mu Huayan and others.

"I think your strength is too weak, how about letting me join as well?"

Mu Huayan was still unsure of who he was, and what his relationship was with Eunuch Qu Shi, so she didn't dare to agree to him rashly. "You are an official, isn't it true that you said this?"

"I know you are not the murderer, so why are you saying that? Besides, I have nothing to do with Qu Shi, so you can rest assured, young lady."

She did not answer but chatted with Mu Qing and the others. Not long after they left, the guards from the Qushi eunuch's mansion surrounded them again.

"Okay, Mr. Tang, you keep saying that you don't want to investigate this case, but it turns out it's because you two have a close relationship!" The guard pointed his sword at Tang Xuanze.

Now he had no idea what reasons he had, and he was probably going to become a wanted criminal or go to jail. He suddenly thought of his father in Tiannan Mansion.

If his father knew that he had caused such a shameful incident for him, he would probably be kicked out of the family...

Without waiting for Tang Xuanze to explain, Mu Huayan stepped forward and said, "He is indeed closely related to us, and we have known each other for a long time."

This statement further confirmed the fact that he and Mu Huayan and others were likely accomplices. He held his forehead helplessly. He never expected her to say that.

"In that case, please come with us, Mr. Tang. Otherwise, don't blame us for using force!" said the captain of the guards.

He thought about it and since he had to wade into this mess, he could only resist. "Why? Do you still want to fight me?"

The captain of the guards was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He really had no right to arrest him, let alone arrest him without reason. If they did, they might not be his opponent.

The captain of the guards had no choice but to order the soldiers to make way for them to leave. Tang Xuanze stepped forward to take credit and said, "Can you trust me now?"

Suddenly Mu Qing saw the Trade Clothing Shop across the street, and pushed Tang Xuanze aside and rushed in. Mu Huayan shook her head helplessly and followed him in. Tang Xuanze looked innocent and aggrieved.

Xin Ce glanced at him and followed him in, leaving him alone outside in a daze...

When they finished their tour, he thought of a way to get their attention. "Girls, I have a lot of information about the Blood Demon Sect. I wonder if you are interested?"

They really need information about the Blood Demon Sect now. Instead of looking for them aimlessly, they might as well listen to what he says.

So Mu Huayan found a teahouse to rest. She said bluntly, "Don't think that just because you shared the information about the Blood Demon Sect with us, your suspicion will be lifted."

He smiled and said, "Miss Mu, please listen to me first. I believe you will be very interested in the information that Tang has collected."

It turned out that he had learned that the officials were also doing shady business in secret, and he had heard about the tragic incident that happened in Huayu County some time ago.

It just so happened that Su Yu, whom he knew well, had passed away, as well as Jiang Xian, with whom he had a close relationship. He also told some stories about the past history of the Su family.

"By the way, there is also a small sect in Chaos Continent that is recruiting disciples, but their purpose is not that simple."

"Tang has done some investigations, and all the disciples who were recruited have disappeared without exception."

"Maybe Tang was lucky and met a disciple who was escaping. Guess what he dropped when he was panicked?"

"Stop playing tricks and tell me quickly." Mu Qing said.

He took something out of his sleeve. The three were surprised when they saw it. He got the news later than them.

Mu Huayan and Mu Qing burst out laughing. Mu Qing pointed at the yellow pill and said, "Isn't this the pill that can greatly increase a cultivator's cultivation? However, the side effect is that it will turn you into a demon cultivator."

He was so scared that he immediately retracted his hand. He thought that his information was useless to them. He coughed awkwardly and said, "By the way, that sect is called Hanying Sect, and the position of sect master is held by a cultivator named Taiqian Immortal Venerable."

"Immortal Taiqian... why does it sound so familiar?" Mu Huayan murmured.

"The Blood Demon Sect is really not giving up. They have found a scapegoat to do the job." Mu Huayan continued.

"Again?" Tang Xuanze was a little confused.

Mu Huayan gestured for him to continue. He drank a cup of tea, glanced around and whispered, "Dongli Imperial Capital is now..."

"!!!" The three were shocked.

"The intelligence you shared is... good, but it doesn't mean anything."

Tang Xuanze almost slammed the table and shouted, "You still don't want to believe me?"

"Why are you so angry, Mr. Tang? Why not let them help you cool down?" Mu Huayan said calmly, looking at the cup in her hand.

"They?" Mu Qing and the others were puzzled.
