CHAPTER 26: CHAPTER 26: NO TOLERANCE

EDITOR: CTCTRANS

The three of them only stopped when they reached the place where Duan Nian and Luo Jing had been ambushed.

There are several clumps of forest around here, indeed suitable for hiding.

Xuan Ying looked around with the fire stick before he spoke: "At that time, my father said he escorted the manor owner and the lady to this spot when those people suddenly charged out.

From this, it can be seen that those people did not come from behind but had known in advance that the manor owner and the lady would pass through here and specially ambushed at this place."

Now it seems there are three biggest suspects: one being someone from the Luo Family, another being Feng Wuya, and the other being Haoyue Manor, which has always been at odds with Yongning Manor.

People from the Luo Family, from old to young, all love and respect Luo Jing. To say that any of them harbored murderous intent is quite unlikely.

Firstly, Yongning Manor and Bright Moon City share a mutually beneficial relationship, and secondly, there is no conflict of interest between the two sides.

Feng Wuya has always been good to the people of Yongning Manor, and over so many years, there hasn’t been any suspicious behavior.

So far, only Haoyue Manor holds the greatest suspicion.

"Those who committed the crime don’t have any substantial evidence on them, but it can only be surmised that they are a group of death warriors. Currently, in the whole of Yunye Country, only Yongning and Haoyue Manor are allowed to have death warriors in existence."

These two manors belong to the few Jianghu forces that are not governed by the Imperial Family, so they can freely cultivate death warriors.

The death warriors of Yongning Manor only take orders from Duan Nian and Duan Yunfei, so it’s impossible they are from Yongning Manor.

Then, it’s only Haoyue Manor left.

The assassins can be confirmed to be from Haoyue Manor, but as for the informant...

There seems to be some uncertainty!

"Young Master, if it is found out that this matter is related to the eldest son, what would you do?"

Xuan Ying straightforwardly voiced the assumption.

"Xuan Ying..."

Regarding this younger brother, Xuan Ming felt a bit helpless.

Duan Yunfei sneered briefly before he said: "Absolutely no leniency."

Xuan Ying asked again: "Then, Young Master, where should we begin the investigation?"

"Where?"

Duan Yunfei slightly lifted his thin lips, and after a moment, he said: "Naturally, we should investigate the tiger’s lair."

Xuan Ming doubtedly asked: "Young Master means... we need to go to Liuyun Town?"

Xuan Ying excitedly said: "Without entering the tiger’s lair, how can one catch a tiger cub, hey—this is great!"

Jinxi Town is under the jurisdiction of Yongning Manor, while Liuyun Town is under the jurisdiction of Haoyue Manor.

To investigate this matter, it would be best if we could infiltrate Haoyue Manor.

Xuan Ying eagerly asked: "Young Master, when shall we set off?"

Duan Yunfei chuckled lightly and said: "No hurry, first roam around Jinxi Town for a few more days before leaving."

Xuan Ying pursed his lips and said: "Haven’t we already explored all of Jinxi Town? There’s nothing fun anymore."

Xuan Ying couldn’t understand why his Young Master, who usually acted decisively without hesitation, decided they should wait a few days before heading to Liuyun Town after making the decision.

If it were past events, the Young Master would have had them depart at the first moment after deciding.

However, Xuan Ming seemed to understand something; his always indifferent face showed a bit more of a smile.

"Let’s go, let’s return to the inn first."

After saying that, Duan Yunfei turned and left first.

Xuan Ying pulled Xuan Ming and asked: "Hey, brother, what is the Young Master thinking?"

Xuan Ming pulled his hand away and said blandly: "How could I know what the Young Master is thinking?"

Xuan Ying didn’t believe it and continued to hold his hand: "Brother, aren’t you always the one who understands the Young Master the most? How could you not understand?"

"Don’t make wild guesses, let’s go."

After saying that, Xuan Ming pulled him along in pursuit of the direction Duan Yunfei had gone.
