Chapter 275: Chapter 264: Mysterious Plane 19

After all the commotion that night, Yan Mo and Xia Yue did not seek information, opting to rest instead.

The following morning, they gathered to discuss the events at the Tian Residence the previous night.

"When you mentioned investigating Qin Qi’s death, did you notice the reactions of the Tian family members?" Yan Mo asked, tapping his finger on the table.

"I did. When Master Tian and Madam Tian heard, their faces darkened, and they looked disgusted. It appears they truly loathed Qin Qi," said Xia Xi.

"I noticed something about the gazes of the other three young masters and mistresses, and the young madam. I saw the second young master’s eyes flicker slightly, but it quickly returned to normal. I’m not sure if I misinterpreted it," said Wen Ziyin.

"Could it be that the second young master is related to Qin Qi’s death? From the information I gathered, he is popular for his humble demeanor. He never loses his temper, treats his servants kindly, and often expresses concern for them. If someone runs into a problem and seeks his help according to reason, he always lends a hand.

When life gets hard during winter, he often provides porridge to the poor," Xia Xi elaborated.

"Appearances can be deceiving. I think it’s worth investigating the second young master," said Yan Mo.

"Who’s going to do the investigating?" Xia Xi asked, glancing at Xia Yue, who was a novice and incapable of leading an investigation. Looking at the Techniques on her wrist, she observed Mo Si, who preferred resolving problems with violence, which was inconducive.

Looking at Wen Ziyin and Yan Mo, she concluded there were only three potential investigators, including herself.

"I can do it. If someone from the Tian family comes looking for you, you can deal with them. Xia Yue, stay put for now. If the other approach fails, we’ll have to confront the third young master of the Tian family ourselves," Yan Mo suggested.

"Sure, I’ll be a good girl and stay in the room," Xia Yue obediently confirmed.

Later, Yan Mo left, disguised for the investigation.

Three days later, the Tian family’s housekeeper came to the hotel inviting Xia Xi and Wen Ziyin to the Tian Residence.

Before leaving, Xia Yue asked the system if they could turn on Xia Xi’s live camera feed, as she wanted to monitor the situation at the residence, considering she was confined to their room out of boredom.

Upon receiving consent from Xia Xi and Wen Ziyin, the system enabled the live feed, setting up an exclusive broadcast channel for Xia Yue.

Upon arriving at the Tian Residence’s guest hall, Xia Xi and Wen Ziyin noted that besides the Tian family members and the third young master, there was a middle-aged man in Taoist robes wielding a duster and a young man who looked like a Taoist disciple.

After exchanging pleasantries with each other, Master Tian introduced them.

"Nice to meet you. May I know where the two of you have earned your teachings?" The Taoist called Qingfeng Daoist smiled, sensing that these two young people, regardless of their apparent age, seemed more skilled than him, especially the young woman.

"I apologize, Taoist, but our master forbids us from mentioning his name publicly," Xia Xi replied politely, nodding her head.

"Our master prefers us not to use his name in vain during our worldly experiences," added Wen Ziyin.

"I see, Master Tian mentioned that you could conceal the energy within Tian’s third young master. To be frank, Master Tian sought my advice, but as I’ve never heard of such Techniques, I swallowed my pride and requested to meet you," the Qingfeng Daoist chuckled carelessly, revealing his purpose for being there.

Sitting at the top seat, Master Tian expressed slight embarrassment and awkwardness upon hearing the Qingfeng Daoist’s candid explanation.
