Han Changsheng didn’t bother denying it. Liu Xiaoqi distinguished people through smell, so no matter how outstanding his skills in acting and disguise were, he couldn’t hide from Liu Xiaoqi.\u00a0<\/p>

Han Changsheng said, \u201cLet us find somewhere private to speak.\u201d<\/p>

They left the inn and came to a deserted lane. Once there, Han Changsheng asked, \u201cWhy did you come?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi mumbled, \u201cI\u2026 I\u2019m here for you. This afternoon, I saw you compete with the second elder martial brother. I found out by your scent.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Han Changsheng asked, \u201cLooking for me? Why did you not go upstairs?\u201d<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi lowered his head and didn\u2019t speak.<\/p>

Han Changsheng guessed that he didn\u2019t dare rush up. He asked, \u201cAlright then, why were you looking for me?\u201d<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi was a little timid, but he still plucked up his courage enough to look up at Han Changsheng and ask, \u201cElder martial brother\u2026 I mean, who are you?\u201d<\/p>

Han Changsheng\u2019s lips twitched. \u201cCall me Han Yingjun or brother Han.\u201d He warned, \u201cYou can only call me that when no one is around.\u201d<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi looked tearfully at Han Changsheng. He wasn\u2019t allowed to address him by this name in front of others. Does that mean Han Changsheng looked at him differently?<\/p>

Han Changsheng asked, \u201cYou still won’t tell me why you were looking for me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi lowered his head and tugged at the corner of his clothes, obviously at a loss. After a moment, he summoned up his courage again and said, \u201cBrother Han, what I want to say is very important to me, so I have to ask you a few questions first. Who on earth are you?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI will not comment on this.\u201d Han Changsheng said.\u00a0<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi bit his lip and whispered, \u201cWell then, what is the relationship between you and the second elder martial brother?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Han Changsheng frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, \u201cI am friends with him. What does anything you have to say have to do with him?\u201d<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi said, \u201cI\u2026 I\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

They sat for a long time, but he couldn\u2019t answer him. Han Changsheng was anxious for an answer and asked, \u201cWhat is the matter?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi took a deep breath and said, \u201cBrother Han, why did you ask me about the Xiu Daomen before?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Han Changsheng also wanted to ask him about the Xiu Daomen, but he was afraid he wouldn\u2019t say anything. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaoqi took the initiative to mention it. Han Changsheng pondered for a moment that if both of them had reservations, neither of them would put themselves first, greatly affecting the progress of his investigation. After such a long time of investigating, Liu Xiaoqi was the only one who might have a deeper relationship with the Xiu Daomen.\u00a0<\/p>

So, Han Changsheng told him the truth. \u201cFor the Tianyuan Villa.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi was silent. After a long time, he asked, \u201cIs the second elder martial brother from Tianyuan Villa?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Han Changsheng nodded. \u201cHe was supposed to be the young villa leader of the Tianyuan Mountain Villa. However, Tianyuan Villa has now ended up obsolete and masterless.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi laughed bitterly, \u201cBrother Han and the second elder martial brother have a good relationship. Were you in the Yuehua Sect for him?\u201d<\/p>

Han Changsheng didn\u2019t know how to answer the question, so he could only be silent.\u00a0<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi said, \u201cSince the second elder brother went to the Nanshan Sect to deliver letters, his smell and temperament have suddenly changed. However, I didn\u2019t think much about it back then. I thought the second elder martial brother had changed some habits, which caused his scent to change. Is elder brother Han someone the second elder martial brother met outside the sect? I just don\u2019t know where the old senior brother went.\u201d<\/p>

Han Changsheng asked, \u201cDoes it matter?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi shook his head. \u201cNo. I like brother Han very much. When I first came to the Yuehua Sect and was bullied by everyone, only brother Han was good to me and didn\u2019t let others bully me. Brother Han also caught bad people like the Yin Yang Sha Twins. You are a great hero.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Once again, Han Changsheng was praised as a great hero. His heart was full of arrows at the notion that he, the Demonic Cult Leader, was called a great hero. He fell speechless.<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi took a deep breath and said, \u201cI believe big brother Han, so I will tell you about my life experience. Brother Han is right, I am from the Xiu Daomen. Did you suspect that it was the Xiu Daomen that caused the tragic case of the Tianyuan Mountain Villa that year?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cNo. Only Huangfu Tugen, the leader of the Tianyuan Villa, may have been killed by the Xiu Daomen. Others killed the people of the Tianyuan Mountain Villa.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

It stunned Liu Xiaoqi. \u201cSo that\u2019s how it is…\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Han Changsheng saw that he seemed to be unclear about things, and his heart suddenly cooled. He hoped to discover the truth from Liu Xiaoqi. It seemed that the boy did not know much. After all, he was only two years old at the time the incident occurred.\u00a0<\/p>

However, Han Changsheng was surprised by Liu Xiaoqi\u2019s next words. \u201cI thought it impossible for us to have attacked the Tianyuan Mountain Villa. After all, we were thousands of miles away from them and our small sect could not have sent so many people. But, if it was only the master Huangfu\u2026\u201d He bit his lip, his face heavy. \u201cWhen I was a child, I overheard my father and the headmaster say they were sorry for the Tianyuan Mountain Villa. I was always curious, so I went to inquire and learned about the destruction of the villa fifteen years ago. I didn’t know whether or not they meant it, but I always thought it was preposterous. At the time, though I was young, I was at least a part of the world. I had never heard of people from the Xiu Daomen going all the way to the Tiandao Prefecture. I might be mistaken about that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Han Changsheng was shocked. \u201cReally? Was it really done by the Xiu Daomen?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi bit his lip, his thoughts tangled. \u201cI\u2026 I do not know. I asked my father and headmaster. They told me not to ask anything. They said nothing to me. It was only when they said that they were sorry for the Tianyuan Villa that I doubted that their involvement in this matter.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Han Changsheng said, \u201cYour father and them\u2026\u201d<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi said, \u201cA few years ago, our Xiu Daomen sect was destroyed, only I managed to escape.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Han Changsheng knew these things in advance, but now that it was confirmed, he only felt sorry. He searched for a long time, just to find out who really killed An Yuan\u2019s father.\u00a0<\/p>

It was likely that the details of what happened would remain hidden, if it was really the now defunct Xiu Daomen behind the murder. Only Liu Xiaoqi remained of Xiu Daomen, and the young boy was clearly not a part of it. And, the dead could not speak.\u00a0<\/p>

Han Changsheng said, \u201cWhy did you join the Yuehua Sect?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi said, \u201cThere are two reasons. One is that our headmaster has a good relationship with Headmaster Yue Peng. When I was a child, he mentioned that he hoped I could learn swordsmanship as well. When I grew up, he would send me to study in Yuehua for two years. I escaped alone and wandered away for several years. My martial arts skills were so low that I could hardly survive. With no other options, I went to the Yuehua Sect.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Han Changsheng asked, \u201cSo Yue Peng knows you are from the Xiu Daomen? He does not do much for you. I saw how much his daughter liked to bully you.\u201d<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi shook his head. \u201cThe leader does not know. I have told no one, and I don\u2019t know whom I can trust. Brother Han, you are the first person to know my identity.\u201d<\/p>

Han Changsheng was stunned. Touching his nose, he asked, \u201cWhat about the second reason?\u201d<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi said, \u201cThe second was because of the second senior martial brother.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWell?\u201d Han Changsheng frowned. \u201cBecause of An Yuan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi smiled bitterly. \u201cBrother Han is helping the second senior martial brother solve his blood feud. I also want to learn about the blood feud of the Xiu Daomen. Our Xiu Daomen have always stood aloof from the world and had few enemies. It is said we were slaughtered because we offended the nearby mountain bandit nest. There was a group of mountain bandits near the Xiu Daomen, but the leader was arrested to protect the nearby people.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cIt was just a few young people who became bandits. Except for those who had committed serious crimes and were killed, they broke up with a few words of reprimand. Three to five months passed since then, and suddenly one day, a group of experts broke in and killed everyone. It led to the massacre.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhile it is true that the martial arts of the Xiu Daomen are not very advanced, did it make sense that ordinary mountain bandits could be so powerful? Can they fight the whole sect without the sect fighting back? Also, those bandits had been scattered for a long time. They certainly could not have done it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWhat is the correlation between this and An Yuan?\u201d Han Changsheng interjected.<\/p>

\u201cAfter I escaped,\u201d Liu Xiaoqi continued, \u201cI went to investigate the so-called mountain bandits who broke up that day, but I couldn\u2019t find their whereabouts. I spent years investigating. Our Xiu Daomen was just a small sect, and we did not have any desire to compete. We only exchanged martial arts with other sects occasionally, and we haven\u2019t attended the Wulin Conference. We prefer the art of mixing incense to make money. The people in the sect lived a prosperous and healthy life.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhen I grew up, I recalled the mountain bandits. It made more sense to me that they were hired killers. The more I think about it, I don\u2019t know what kind of people we offended. Even if they wanted to kill us, there are only conflicts and trivial things that would not have warranted a retaliation to that extent. The only thing I could think of was that after the Tianyuan Mountain Villa incident, my father and the leader always kept their mouths shut.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cHa?\u201d Han Changsheng said, \u201cSo, do you think An Yuan hired mercenaries to kill your sect?\u201d<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi immediately said, \u201cI know that the second elder martial brother is very kind and would not do such a thing. I just heard that the young leader of the Tianyuan Mountain Villa was received by the Yuehua Sect, and I remembered that\u00a0 the leader made good friends with the Yuehua Sect. So, I joined to see if I could find out anything related to my sect.\u201d<\/p>

Han Changsheng showed his teeth. Why was it that things seemed to get more and more complicated? He had not found out anything about the Tianyuan Villa yet, and there was the case of the Xiu Daomen on top of it. If Huangfu Tugen wasn\u2019t killed by the Xiu Daomen, and if the people of the Xiu Daomen felt sorry for the people of the Tianyuan Villa because they knew the inside story, was it possible that the person who hired the killer was the one who killed Huangfu Tugen? To silence them?<\/p>

Han Changsheng said, \u201cDo you know which sect in the nation still had a similar sword technique as the Xiu Daomen, twisting and turning?\u201d<\/p>

He thought for a while, but then Liu Xiaoqi shook his head.<\/p>

Han Changsheng murmured, \u201cThat is strange. Do you know who your father and the leader of the Xiu Daomen had a good relationship with? Maybe they\u2019ll know the inside story of what happened fifteen years ago?\u201d<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi sighed. \u201cSo many years have passed, I have asked many people, but no one knows this matter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Han Changsheng gave an irritable little tut<\/em>, and suddenly remembered the mysterious expert he met behind the Yuehua Mountain in the middle of the night. He asked, \u201cBy the way, has anyone invaded the Yuehua Sect recently?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi\u2019s face was at a loss. \u201cI have not heard of it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWell?\u201d Han Changsheng murmured, \u201cWho was that? Besides Elder Lan Gang, who else is allowed in the forbidden area behind the mountain?\u201d<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi said, \u201cI have not been in the Yuehua Sect for very long. I have heard a lot about Elder Lan Fang, but I have never met him. I do not understand what Brother Han asked me.\u201d<\/p>

Both of them frowned, puzzled. When things got to this point, they were stuck again. It was already late at night. The alleyway became so dark Han Changsheng couldn\u2019t see his fingers when he reached them out. Han Changsheng said, \u201cYou should return to your room. I\u2019ll come see you later.\u201d<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi nodded.<\/p>

Han Changsheng asked, \u201cBy the way, why did Yue Peng bring you and Yue Yu-er to the Wulin Assembly?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi said, \u201cIt is for the eldest and senior brothers\u2019 benefit. Elder Lan Fang and old man Xuanji were found dead behind the mountain, and the Longyin sword was stolen. The first and second elder martial brothers were missing. The leader sent someone to search for you for a long time, but there was no word from you.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThey wondered if you\u2019d come to the Wulin Assembly, or if they could get more information here. My elder martial sister and I had the best relationship with you, so the headmaster brought us out hoping that we might find you. Or, if you don\u2019t want to go back, to have us persuade you.\u201d<\/p>

Han Changsheng laughed and sneered. \u201cSo that\u2019s how it is. Alright, you go back and have a rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Liu Xiaoqi stood in the same place for a while. In a soft voice, he said, \u201cBrother Han, I know you are a good man. I have seen many people over the years, and I have been cheated by others. You have a simple mind, a good heart, and excellent martial arts. I\u2026 Please help me.\u201d<\/p>

Simple in mind, good in heart, Han Changsheng was again stabbed to suffocation by Liu Xiaoqi\u2019s mending knife. He waved his hand wordlessly. \u201cGo ahead, go back, and we\u2019ll talk again later.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
