Zhao Changhe did not continue to visit Lu Shaoxiong in the Jingxin An or the Third Young Master Gu from the Gu Family. Instead, he went to the Huqiu Sword Pool again.

Seeing Zhao Changhe circling around the pool, Yue Hongling couldn't understand his actions.

Anyone analyzing the situation would think that the Huqiu Sword Pool was a misunderstanding. The true source of the evil energy should be outside, as both Lu Shaoxiong and the Third Young Master Gu had been affected. They should search for the places they had both been to.

For example, Tang Buqi was currently investigating with the Suzhou Demon Bureau, and Yue Hongling thought that it was a rare sensible thing he had done.

However, Zhao Changhe, who had always given the impression of being reliable, seemed to have nothing to do. He kept wandering around the Huqiu Sword Pool, but even after half an afternoon, he still hadn't discovered anything, and he was still smiling.

If people didn't know any better, they would think that he was just taking his maidservant out for a stroll.

Although the surroundings were indeed beautiful and cool by the water's edge, Yue Hongling was a determined person, and she hadn't gone through so much just to be comfortable...

"Master." Seeing Zhao Changhe crouching under the shade of a tree, observing ants, Yue Hongling finally couldn't take it anymore. "Master, should we investigate the case like Tang Buqi and the others?"

"Huh? Since they are investigating where the young masters from the Lu and Gu families have been, we can just ask them later. Why do I have to investigate the same thing?" Zhao Changhe opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. After a while, he said, "But it's not like I'm just looking at ants here."

Li Hanshan thought for a moment and chuckled, "Treasures are indeed important, but the loyalty of the jianghu is even more important."

"But there haven't been any signs of rain recently, and those ants should have moved a long time ago. They only left behind so few... Could it be that they felt there was no other place to escape to and had already migrated?" Li Han instantly tensed up.

"Well, actually, you think that the Sword Pool hasn't changed, so you came here specifically to find something that can't prove your speculation. Can those ants be considered evidence?" "Don't underestimate ants. They are more sensitive than humans."

"You're wrong. I thought that the Sword Pool was strange, just like someone who was searching for treasures rather than solving a case. I thought it was unusual because solving a case is to find clues to the treasure. But in reality, it's not."

Li Hanshan rolled his eyes.

"Well... let's put it this way. It is said that there is a treasure of evil energy in Suzhou, but it has always been an unknown. The madness of the young master from the Lu family cannot prove that the thing doesn't exist, and even if you go mad, what can it prove? So, finding the source of the evil energy is a secondary matter."

"It's the Third Rank of the Human List. They are all trash." Tang Buqi pointed at himself, "I am also at the Eighth Level of Xuan Guan, and he was only at the Seventh Level at that time. Even if he threw a punch at me, I could dodge it. So, your level is on the Bottom Rank, and the difference between you and those on the Bottom Rank is clear."

......

Ji Xiong followed along and muttered, "Women are really strange. They just want to have a drink."

You know, the reason why Li Hanshan was willing to bring you along in that matter was because he knew that you were in cahoots with the Maitreya Sect and could be of assistance.

"Loyalty?" Ji Xiong asked in surprise. "Because he is friends with Zhao Changhe?"

"This sunset is just for Yue Hongling, not for you, Qiu Jianchi."

"......If we assume that there is no treasure of evil energy, does he really desire it?"

Search "pawℝead.com" for the original.

"But you are an official and need evidence. You only need to verify your own suspicions."

"Yue Hongling is capable in battle. As he said, when stealing things, he would switch to a dagger or even a poisoned needle. Zhao Changhe really dares to say that he would not be defeated by Yue Hongling."

"That's too exaggerated. Simply absorbing energy is enough. It does require nurturing evil energy, but it doesn't necessarily require a treasure. Killing people is also possible. The Blood God Sect relies on that. We don't have so few treasures."

Although it was a bit far-fetched to infer from the fact that there were more ants that their thoughts were also more reliable, at that time, no major event could be attributed to a single clue. Assuming that the inference was correct, even if it could prove that the Sword Pool had no evil energy, it didn't mean that there wouldn't be any changes, such as the water overflowing.

"The evil energy definitely caused the ants to disappear. It's not that they have gone extinct, but that they haven't appeared yet." Qiu Jianchi said, "According to your common sense, what does it mean when ants move?"

"...It's a weak piece of evidence. It seems quite convincing."

"Do you see the sunset?"

Ji Xiong: "..."

"..."

Ji Xiong widened his eyes in surprise. "What is the main point of this?"

"Where are you looking? You didn't even give me a signal with your eyes. Do you really think you're a lapdog?" Li Hanshan said leisurely, "It's because you want the ugly Suzhou to become the Maitreya Sect's hometown... You have learned martial arts, but you always have nothing to do."Young Master Tang didn't seem too bothered, "There's no harm done, everyone has their strengths. Anyway, the exploration was not entirely fruitless, there were some amusing moments. The deposit he paid was not enough, if Young Master Yan wants more, he can say goodbye."

Brother Ji was taken aback, "Could it really be the evil aura there? Why didn't our family sense it at all?"

"Why can he still be so calm, as if the object of his desire really exists?"

Brother Ji immediately said, "Could it be Tang Wanzhuang? Sir, it really has nothing to do with you?"

Li Han Shan said, "Is the Lu family on high alert?"

"Hey, hey, wait a minute, Li Han." Qiu Jianchi chased after him, "Don't you have something to ask him..."

"Huh?"

As I spoke, I tossed aside a piece of dessert left over from lunch.

"The main issue is, because the Maitreya Sect in Yangzhou has fallen, it will inevitably lead to some action from the Maitreya leader. In the environment where the Maitreya Sect is widespread in Jiangnan, only Suzhou is like a pure land. If you are Maitreya, that action is very likely to target Suzhou first. Coincidentally, I am also looking for the treasure of evil aura, and now the clue is in Suzhou, my attention will naturally fall there. Combining these two matters, regardless of whether Maitreya himself has come to Suzhou, the action targeting Suzhou is definitely not over yet, and the Tang family will be the first to bear the brunt."

I was not too entangled, and directly said, "According to your investigation, the Lu family's forbidden area is a hundred times stricter than the so-called Sword Pool forbidden area of the Tang family, and it cannot be passed through with any token or password. Only the direct descendants of the Lu family can enter. It's really strange, a broken family, but they make it more mysterious than anything else."

Qiu Jianchi chuckled, "If there is no one in the family who has reached the fourth level of Xuan Guan, it would indeed be considered a broken family."

"Did they give it to you?"

Brother Ji gracefully poured me a cup of tea on the side.

Qiu Jianchi couldn't help but laugh, "There's not a bit..."

Qiu Jianchi leisurely said, "So the evil aura is definitely not there, but the change in the Tang family is certain, that's the main issue. What role the thing that seems like evil aura plays in it, and what impact it has on that matter, is what you should focus on analyzing. It may help to break this situation. If you really go looking for the source of the evil aura, you are just being led by the nose. It's like it doesn't exist at all, it's just a distraction..."

Li Han Shan looked at you again, that person's figure and posture really resembled the person he was looking for, although he recognized the face, but this person was a master of disguise... However, there are people everywhere who resemble the figure, even Yue Hongling somewhat resembles it. If he used that as a reason to check the disguise, he would definitely offend Qiu Jianchi to death, was it necessary...

"Did you learn martial arts to make your life worse?"

"So what exactly are you suspicious of?"

"...I didn't find anything, there are so many ants outside."

"Right." Qiu Jianchi looked at the sky, seeing the sun setting, he turned and went up the mountain, "When we were drinking last night, wasn't Tang Qi still your friend?"

"Yes."

"Do you think it has any meaning?" Qiu Jianchi laughed, "But he didn't find out..."

Brother Ji's eyes changed.

As for your target, it must be the treasure of evil aura, which may conflict with yourself, that is secondary.

"Sir... did he really guess it from observing the ants?"

That might not work for ordinary people, but he had broken through the seventh level of Xuan Guan, swinging a seventy-pound knife with one hand as if it were a toy, he was indeed a special person, his senses should have surpassed any animal in nature, watching ants was of no use, it was like sensing with his eyes closed.

After leaving Li Han Shan, I just returned to the guest house planning to have some dinner, a figure flashed by, Young Master Tang appeared in the doorway, "The Tang family's guards are much less than the Lu family's, it's almost like going to the toilet, it's a shame you thought the Tang family was capable."
