Chapter 31 Skeptical

Escaped from Mangsha Sector, Yong Caixia took Yan Zhanjin's hand and followed the six disciples Sword Villager.

Yan Zhanjin panted heavily and said, "Caixia stop." He took a deep breath. "I need to catch my breath."

Yong Caixia stopped and let go of Yan Zhanjin's hand. She said, "You need to practice more."

One of the disciples ran over and panted heavily. He said, "Shimei, da shixiong?"

Yong Caixia, "He is not with you?"

Disciple, "No…"

Another disciple ran into the crowd almost out of breath. He said worriedly, "Not good…"

Yong Caixia asked, "What's wrong?"

Disciple, "Da Shixiong was taken away by demon Xin."

Yong Caixia, "What? How does that happened?"

Disciple, "We are saving Mu shizun. When we got there, two people were already fighting with Demon Xin. One of them saved Mu shizun and disappeared over the wall. Da Shixiong was injured and captured by Demon Xin."

Yan Zhanjin, "We have to go back and save Taihua. At this rate, Ma Jingguo's rage must have been overboard. Since someone has successfully rescued Mu Dishi, he will definitely kill Taihua." He turned and looked at Caixia. "Who are the other two members?"

Yong Caixia, "How do I know?"

Yan Zhanjin, "Aren't you working together on this rescue mission?"

Yong Caixia, "No, apart from Sword Village, we don't know who else will come to save shizun and you. I'm here to save you. Da ge go save shizun."

Yan Zhanjin, "Who are the other two?"

Yong Caixia, "Let's go back and regroup. If da ge is captured, there is not much we can do. We need to go find shizun. He is our only hope to save da ge."

The late night wind blew across their faces, and Cao Wenyan carried Mu Dishi down the mountain path. Following them are the Yao brothers and ten members of Sunset Sector. The Yao brothers rushed forward and blocked Cao Wenyan's path.

Mu Dishi said, "Cao gongzi let me down."

Cao Wenyan did not answer, and began to block the Yao brothers' attacks with his feet. Cao Wenyan immediately escaped to the left and broke free. When the Yao brothers pounced at Cao Wenyan again, Red Mice, Green Mice, and Black Mice blocked the two brothers' attacks.

Red Mice said, "Gongzi, you go, we will deal with these two rats."

Black Mice sprints forward, attacking Yao Hou with his metal claw, while Green Mice attacks Yao Hu with his double-edged dagger. Red Mice rushed directly to the ten Sunset members.

When Cao Wenyan reached the foot of the mountain, he saw three servants waiting for him in a carriage. Only then, did Cao Wenyan put down Mu Dishi and unlocked his acupuncture points.

Cao Wenyan said, "Mu Gongzi, your old clothes is in the carriage. You go and change." He smiled at Mu Dishi.

Mu Dishi walked into the carriage, and after a while, he walked out neatly in the old clothes he left with Cao Wenyan years earlier.

Mu Dishi looked at Cao Wenyan and said, "I'm going back."

Cao Wenyan asked, "Mu Gongzi, I saved you, you have already escaped. Why are you going back?"

Mu Dishi said, "Cao gongzi, thank you for saving me. I'm going back."

Cao Wenyan said, "Returning to that Demon Xin, is like walking into the fire."

Mu Dishi said, "I don't care what people called him, but to me, he is still the Jingguo I have always known."

Cao Wenyan held Mu Dishi's hands, "Mu gongzi, go with me. Follow me to Beixing Sector. I can assure you that I will love you and cherish you like Ma Jingguo."

Mu Dishi pulled away his hands, "Thank you for everything, but taking me to Beixing Sector, Jingguo has a reason to burn your sector to the ground. Therefore, I don't want this to happen to you." He smiled at Cao Wenyan. "Cao gongzi, over the years, I cherish your friendship very much. Since the death of my parents, besides Jingguo, you are another person who is very important to me. I hope our friendships will always be like this."

Hearing Mu Dishi's reason for rejection his love, Cao Wenyan was heartbroken, but he also willingly understood and accepted. Cao Wenyan watched Mu Dishi slowly walk back to Mangsha Sector.

Yong Taihua was slammed hard onto the concrete floor, causing him to spit out blood. Ma Jingguo walked in and pinched Yong Taihua by the throat.

Ma Jingguo asked angrily, "Where did Wang Biming take my xiao shushu?"

Yong Taihua glared at Ma Jingguo, "Even if you kill me, I won't tell you." He smiled. "You dare to kill me. After I die, shizun will definitely come to avenge me."

Ma Jingguo squeezed hard, "Do you dare to provoke me by mentioning of my xiao shushu ." His hands grip Yong Taihua's throat tightly. Then Yong Taihua began to choke. Suddenly, the picture of Chen Dandan holding Ma Jingguo's hand dying inside his arms appeared before him. Ma Jingguo threw Yong Taihua to the ground, breathing heavily. "Lock him up." Ma Jingguo walked out angrily. "No food. No water until he tell me where xiao shushu is."

Yong Taihua shouted, "Demon Ma, I am not afraid of you."

Chao Yanmei said, "You should be." She walked through the door. She waved at the two members who had just handcuffed Yong Taihua's hand to the chain. "Yong gongzi, let's be honest. You are still alive, just because chief promised Chen guniang that he will not hurt you and Yan gongzi. You out of all people should've known that chief has strong affection for Mu gongzi. Anyone who wants to take Mu gongzi away from chief are all his enemies." She sighed. "Yong gongzi, do you really want to watch Sword Village be burn to ashes because of your stubbornness?"

Yong Taihua said indifferently, "I don't understand you. How can a person like you end up with that demon?"

Chao Yanmei frowned and said, "I also don't understand people like you too. Making judgment based on what you see what's in front of you, but failed to use your brain to sort through the situation." She sat next to Yong Taihua. "Have any of you ever ask chief for his explanation?"

Yong Taihua gnashing his teeth and said, "There is no reason to ask." Yong Taihua raised his voice. "I saw him hit Dandan with my own eyes!"

Yuan Chaomei said, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, but honestly, it was me who found Chen guniang's body."

Yong Taihua, "What do you mean?"

Yuan Chaomei recalled her own memories and said, "That day, chief and I were going to bring a wedding gift to Chen guniang. It turned out that we found Lui gongzi who was injured in front of the Mu stone boarder on the roadside. We went to check on him. Except for a broken collarbone, he has no other injuries. He was very worried. He told chief that a masked man had brought Chen guniang up to Mu Village. Chief went up, and I quickly followed. Apart from the murderer, I was the last person to see Lui gongzi alive. When I arrived in Mu Village, I saw that chief and the man in black were already fighting fiercely in the distance. Then I went to find Chen guniang. I searched all over the place, and I found Chen guniang dying on the ground inside one of the house. I screamed." She sighed. "My scream frightened the murderer, and the murderer ran away. At first chief intended to hunt down the murderer, but he decided to come back. When I checked Chen guniang…all of her meridians were completely destroyed."

Yong Taihua asked, "The screamed came from you?"

Yuan Chaomei, "Yes, but everyone thought it was Chen guniang who screamed. If you don't believe me, you can seek medical advice from Yan gongzi. Can a person whose meridians are completely destroyed and dying can make such a scream."

Yong Taihua began to doubt his eyes, "I saw Ma Jingguo struck her."

Yuan Chaomei, "Chief was passing his internal energy, trying to keep Chen guniang alive. Thanks to his efforts, Chen guniang was able to ask chief to spare you and Yan gongzi." She looked at Yong Taihua. "When you collected her body, you must have seen the match jade pendants." She stood up. "That's a wedding gift from chief to you and Chen guniang."

Yong Taihua, "What about the two coffins?"

Yuan Chaomei, "Two coffins? We don't know anything about the two coffins."

Yong Taihua, "On the day Dandan and Lui gongzi were killed by Ma Jingguo, two coffins were sent to Sword Village in Ma Jingguo's name."

Yuan Chaomei said, "Yong gongzi, if I tell you that we also received a coffin on the day that Wen qianbei was killed, do you believe it?"

Yong Taihua, "Who sent it?"

Yuan Chaomei, "It was sent by you, Yong Taihua of Sword Village."

Yong Taihua stood up angrily, "Impossible…I'm not so sick to make this kind of joke."

Yuan Chaomei said, "Chief knew, that's why Sword Village was untouched, and chief took over Mangsha Sector instead." She looked at Yong Taihua and sighed. "Maybe staying here might clear your mind, or answer some of the questions you still have." She began to walk towards the door.

Yong Taihua, "Wait." Yuan Chaomei turned around. "If I believe what you said, Dandan must have told you who is her murderer." Yong Taihua looked directly at Yuan Chaomei. "So, who is Dandan's murderer?"

Yuan Chaomei looked down at the ground for a while, as if she was wondering in her heart whether to tell Yong Taihua or not.

Yong Taihua lips trembled and begged, "Yuan guniang, tell me...please tell me...Dandan is an innocent and lively woman with the most beautiful smile on her face. She deserves justice."

Yuan Chaomei sighed and said, "Yong gongzi, besides your wedding, what other weddings involve our chief?" She walked out of the room.

Yong Taihua's heart sank. He murmured, "Fu Yuanjun…Gu Jingjing..." He raised his head and shouted behind Yuan Chaomei. "The murderers are Fu Yuanjun and Gu Jingjing, isn't it? Tell me… is the murderers are Fu Yuanjun and Gu Jinggjing?"
