CHAPTER 114: I Am Not Xiao Qi!
Ye Wubo waited until this afternoon before receiving a response from the Ye Family headquarters, which consisted of two cold, hard words: "No!"
"You could have elaborated a bit more!" The terse message made Ye Wubo curse out loud, "Would it have cost you your lives to write a few more words, you bunch of bastards?!"
Since the headquarters sent back the word "no," it was clear that the people there were baffled and infuriated by Ye Wubo's question: As a member of the Ye Family, do you really have so little confidence in the family’s divine skills?
If there had been failures in the past, wouldn’t the family have warned its members to be cautious by now? How could you ask such a foolish and dim-witted question!
But this left Ye Wubo even more puzzled: No failures mean it must be absolutely feasible! But… could it be that Chu Feilong is really a fool?
Crazy?
This seemingly simple yet actually complex issue left Ye Wubo entangled for a long time.
"Clap, clap..." Ye Wubo clapped his hands and said gloomily, "You all come here!"
In an instant, four elite guards quietly entered the room.
A ghostly flame flickered in Ye Wubo's eyes, suppressing his doubts about Chu Feilong. He decided not to think about this matter anymore! The man was dead, and he had ordered the killing himself! Even if it was a mistake... then it was simply a mistake!
But he was just Chu Feilong after all.
At most, the deployment in the southeast was a bit weak, unable to achieve the expected results, which would be somewhat embarrassing. But at that time, as long as he pushed the responsibility onto Han Xiaoran, who could blame him?
With the entire southeast's chief enforcer, Han Xiaoran, obstructing the plan... who could execute this plan smoothly? That would be a joke...
Looking at the puzzled expressions on the four faces, Ye Wubo darkly asked, "What do you think about Xiao Qi?"
"Xiao Qi..." The old man with the goat beard frowned, his gaze hesitatingly flickering towards Ye Wubo before he pulled back his head.
"Speak up if you have something to say!" Ye Wubo's ghostly flame blazed, and he shouted angrily.
"I... I believe that the matter regarding Xiao Qi... whether it exists or not... still needs verification..." The old man with the goat beard felt depressed. Last time he spoke up, he got hit with a huge insult from Ye Wubo and nearly choked. This time he had to speak again...
But this matter was indeed filled with doubts... The old man with the goat beard struggled internally, choosing his words carefully.
"Still needs verification?" Ye Wubo snorted coldly, "How do you plan to verify this? Go find Xiao Qi and ask him: Did you kill Old Three Ma? Is that how you verify?"
The old man with the horse face lowered his head and stopped speaking.
"The southeast is the territory of the Xiao Clan!" Ye Wubo said heavily, "According to the information we received, ever since the local branch master of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yulong, met his demise at the Amethyst Rejuvenation Hall, not only did he lose his life but also the Amethyst... After that, the Xiao Clan sent a guy named Xiao Yucheng to take charge."
"But secretly, they also dispatched someone to observe from the shadows. This person holds the power of life and death over everyone in Ping Sha Ridge!" Ye Wubo said grimly, "Do you know who this person is?"
Sweat dripped from the old man with the goat beard: "The family intelligence indicated this is Xiao Qi."
Ye Wubo coldly stared at him: "Does this mean Xiao Qi has already come?"
"Yes."
"Then, who in the entire southeast could have the cultivation level of the emperor of swords and easily kill Old Three Ma? Who else?" The ghostly flame in Ye Wubo's eyes flickered as he showed visible impatience towards this old man with the goat beard who always contradicted him.
"Only Xiao Qi!" The old man with the goat beard was sweating even more.
"Then if it isn’t Xiao Qi, could it be you who killed him?" Ye Wubo shouted angrily, "You have a goat beard, but you don’t also have a goat's head, do you?"
