Chapter 507 I Don't Know

After Xu Han forcefully endured the bitter salty smell and finished eating a table of food, the coldness in Ye Hongjian's eyes finally subsided a little.

Seemingly to make up for his previous mistake, Xu Han burped loudly and said in an extremely exaggerated tone, "Delicious!"

Looking at Xu Han and his salty lips, as well as his unsincere expression, Ye Hongjian could no longer hold back her expression. She sneered and put away the bowl and chopsticks, "Next time, it's better to ask your Big Brother Chu to make it for you."

"No, I think your cooking is better than Big Brother Chu's." Xu Han didn't dare to accept this matter and hurriedly said at that time.

Ye Hongjian came from a famous family. It was not too much to say that she was a golden branch and jade leaf. She personally cooked a meal for Xu Han. Although the taste was a bit bad, it was obvious that both the appearance and the ingredients she chose had worked hard. This friendship was far more important than the meal itself. His words were sincere.

Ye Hongjian probably saw this as well. She rolled her eyes at Xu Han and put away her thoughts of tangling with him on this matter.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do now?" She put the plates into the lunch box, then turned to look at Xu Han and asked seriously.

The situation in Great Xia was not calm. This was true for both the Imperial Court and Jianghu, and Xu Han had unfortunately participated in it. Naturally, she was a little worried about this.

"I promised Xiao Ran that I would help him with three things. Since the first is here, there's no way I can dodge it. However, the enemy is in the dark and I'm in the open. It would be unrealistic to try to guard against Wei Ran. Rather than being worried all day long, it would be better to think of a way to do the second thing well first." Xu Han said with a smile.

"The second thing?" Ye Hongjian was stunned and asked curiously.

Only then did Xu Han take out a letter from the end of the stack of paper and put it in front of Ye Hongjian. "This matter is much more interesting than the matter of the Sword Handling Pavilion."

Hearing Xu Han's words, Ye Hongjian turned to look at the letter. The words written on the letter had successfully aroused the curiosity of the woman. She looked at it carefully, but her expression gradually became a little strange.

What was written on the paper were several murders that had occurred in the Royal City. Most of the dead had died tragically, and their hearts and livers had been stripped alive. Such a thing naturally attracted some rumors, such as the rumors of monsters and evil spirits.

Actually, such a thing was not surprising. Regardless of whether it was vengeance in Jianghu or revenge for personal grievances, killing and seizing one's life was not a rare thing.

However, the only strange thing was that such a thing had happened in Heng Imperial City, and the murderer was still at large after several incidents. One had to know that in Horizontal Imperial City, the saying that there was no Blood Blade was not only useful to Jianghu people, but also to ordinary people. Regardless of whether it was the Sword Handling Pavilion or the Mirror Division that was specifically responsible for investigating homicides in Horizontal Imperial City, they were all experts in this field. Few people dared to touch their dignity.

Of course, provoking the two in succession like this, but no one had been arrested for the past ten years, which could be considered the only existence.

"Could it really be a monster?" Ye Hongjian clearly smelled something from these records. She asked with a strange expression.

"Most of the strange things in this world are classified as evil, "However, there are a lot of real demons and evil spirits causing trouble, but very few of them. However, this matter was specifically entrusted to me by Xiao Ana. There must be something strange about it. Although Nangong Jing gave those swordsmen to me, they can do me a small favor before this trouble happens." Xu Han's eyes narrowed at that moment. When he looked at Ye Hongjian, the smile in his eyes suddenly spread out.

At that time, Ye Hongjian seemed to have comprehended something. She stared at Xu Han strangely, as if a smile was suffused in her talking eyes.



"Lord Nangong, I feel that I should give my Divine Secrets Manor an explanation for this matter." In the mansion of the Sword Handling Pavilion, a slender middle-aged scholar looked at Nangong Jing, who was sitting in the middle of the manor, and said in a deep voice.

After this evening, the newly promoted seven-stringed golden robe had gathered more than a hundred swordsmen that Nangong Jing had brought him to travel around the Heng Imperial City under the banner of searching for the monster that had recently come to harm his life.

One had to know that the case in Heng Imperial City was still under the management of the Mirror Division of the Mirror Marquis in front of them. In order to capture that life-threatening monster, they had been guarding Heng Imperial City for a few days, and the Mirror Division had arranged spies everywhere in Heng Imperial City.

However, Xu Han suddenly sent out so many swordsmen to patrol the Imperial City in a big way, which was akin to alarming the grass and alarming the snakes, wasting the painstaking plan that the Mirror Division had spent the past few days squatting and guarding the Imperial City. No wonder Mirror Marquis, who had never interfered in Jianghu matters, would come to him and threaten Nangong Jing.

Nangong Jing's expression also sank at that time. She also had a headache from Xu Han's actions.

"Lord Cao, don't worry. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. If you want to go back and rest, please apologize to the adults of the Mirror Division on my behalf. I will go back and ask Xu Han about the reason." After pondering for a while, Nangong Jing finally said in a deep voice.

Nangong Jing's attitude was generally satisfactory. In addition, the Sword Handling Pavilion had always been linked to the Imperial Court, Clearly, the Mirror Marquis called Cao Mian did not intend to see through Nangong Jing's face at this moment. He also sank his face and said, "That villain has already killed seven people in a row. Although the Imperial Court is suppressing him, there are already rumors everywhere in the city. If this delay continues, the people in the Imperial City will be terrified. When the Imperial Court blames him, the Sword Handling Pavilion will have to be prepared to bear the consequences. Lord Nangong, please take care of yourself."

After saying that, the scholar waved his sleeve and left.

When Cao Mian left, only the Nangong siblings remained in the Nuo Great Sword Palace.

Naturally, Nangong Zhuo was a person who could not hide his worries. At that time, he quickly walked to Nangong Jing's side and volunteered, "Sister, I will go find Brother Xu now and ask him to restrain himself. Don't provoke the people of the Imperial Court."

Nangong Zhuo's mind was simple. In his opinion, Xu Han was a member of the Sword Handling Pavilion, and he naturally had to remind him of everything he could. It was not a good thing for Xu Han to offend the Mirror Division.

Seeing Nangong Zhuo's worried expression, Nangong Jing couldn't help but feel a headache. She said in a deep voice, "Don't go."

"Why?" Nangong Zhuo was stunned and asked in confusion.

However, Nangong Jing only lowered his head and remained silent, ignoring him.

Nangong Zhuo thought about the unpleasant things that had happened between Nangong Jing and Xu Han. He thought that his elder sister wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take revenge on Xu Han. This made Nangong Zhuo somewhat dissatisfied, and his tone couldn't help but be a little louder. "Elder sister, Brother Xu is grateful to us no matter what. Besides, he is also a member of our Sword Pavilion now. It's inappropriate for you to do this."

It was probably because he hadn't been lectured like this by his younger brother for too long. Hearing this, Nangong Jing's eyes immediately turned cold. He stared at Nangong Zhuo and asked in a deep voice, "Are you teaching me a lesson?"

Nangong Jing had accumulated power in Nangong Zhuo's heart for a long time. Hearing this, Nangong Zhuo saw that Nangong Jing's expression was not good. At this moment, the righteousness on his face instantly diminished by more than half.

He subconsciously shrunk his neck and said in a small tone, "I just feel that what Sister-in-law did… was inappropriate…"

"Look at your virtue." Nangong Jing rolled his eyes. He probably didn't like his younger brother's cautious appearance. But in the end, she added, "That person surnamed Xu is much smarter than you. Can he not think of anything that you can think of?"

Nangong Zhuo's expression instantly changed, as if he understood something. He then said, "Ah Jie, does Brother Xu have other intentions?"

"What do you think?"

"Haha, Elder Sister is still smart, but what exactly does Brother Xu want to do?"

'"…"

"Why doesn't Sister answer me? Am I supposed to guess for myself?"

'"…"

"Sister, I'm really stupid, wouldn't you tell me?"

'"…"

"Sister…"

"I don't know either…"
