This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable
Chapter 842 - 74 Approaching the Truth_3

"Did anything special happen when Father invited Qing Ge to the mansion today?"

Ying Mingyue pondered for a moment before reporting: "For some reason, as the Demon Lord was conversing with Qing Ge, Shi Wu Demon Venerable personally brought Miss Mingyue to visit today."

That was all he knew.

As for the detailed content of the conversation, a servant naturally has no right to listen in.

Ying Jie nodded, deep in thought.

"Alright, I understand."

This conversation was indeed not simple.

But to know what Qing Ge specifically said, asking Father was definitely not appropriate, asking Shi Wu Demon Venerable was even more impossible, and getting Qing Ge to explain himself was also difficult.

So, there was only Ying Mingyue as the breakthrough point to probe the situation.

He thought of his nominal young "aunt," and quickly made a decision.

A little girl, isn’t it easy to coax her into talking?

...

Mingyue Mansion.

The rare sight of Ying Mingyue in a simple white long dress, a strange gleam flashed in her clear eyes.

"Ying Jie visiting?" She murmured to herself: "It’s truly the first time, probably not for anything good....

However, I want to see what scheme he is plotting."

She then lifted her head and instructed: "Let him in, take him to the main hall."

Soon, Ying Jie walked in with two servants.

The attendants stood outside the hall, watching their lord enter.

"Isn’t this my dear nephew? What brings you to see your aunt?" Ying Mingyue mocked coldly.

"Can’t I come to visit my aunt for no reason?" Ying Jie smiled warmly.

This kind of behavior made Ying Mingyue even warier.

Normally, Ying Jie and Ying Jun never acknowledged her as an aunt.

She knew their brothers’ personalities inside and out.

Seeing Ying Jie’s demeanor, she knew his intentions were nothing but sinister.

"Speak plainly, I can’t stand your hypocritical words..." Ying Mingyue sneered.

She seemed to think of something, a faint smile played on her lips, adding: "I have this quirk, whenever I hear insincere words, I feel like coughing!"

"Actually, there is something I need to ask you, the incident of Ying Jun’s murder has caused quite a stir recently, you should be aware of it?" Seeing Ying Mingyue’s sarcastic words, Ying Jie, with strong mental fortitude, was unperturbed and began questioning.

"So what, what does it have to do with me?" Ying Mingyue replied coldly; "Your family’s matters are your family’s, why come to me?"

"Because," Ying Jie sneered, suddenly roaring: "Father suspects that your future husband, Qing Ge, set up Ying Jun."

"Impossible, he doesn’t have the ability to deal with Ying Jun, his suspicion has long been ruled out." Ying Mingyue, though startled, remained calm.

"How is it impossible? He doesn’t have the ability, but he can ask for help, such as... asking his future wife to assist!" Ying Jie said sinisterly.

Ying Mingyue’s face changed, "What do you mean?"

"Aunt, you’ve been in the Royal City for so many years, you also have some connections privately, Qing Ge’s new here and weak, but he has you to help him." Ying Jie mocked: "Father also agrees with my suspicion, so I came to remind you, you’d better not let me catch any slip.

Otherwise, if the evidence is clear, even Shi Wu Demon Venerable wants to protect you, having killed my brother, Father will definitely not let you off easily."

Facing Ying Jie’s aggressive stance, Ying Mingyue suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth: "You are sounding the alarm thief, it’s clearly you who murdered your brother, now trying to pin it on me and Qing Ge."

As expected!

A sharp glint flashed in Ying Jie’s eyes, but he concealed it well, continuing: "Sounding the alarm thief? Even if I am a thief, do you have any evidence to prove I am the thief?"

He adopted a shameless attitude, as if he was really the killer, just to further provoke Ying Mingyue.

The young Ying Mingyue evidently didn’t have Ying Jie’s many intrigues and couldn’t realize Ying Jie’s purpose.

She quickly retorted coldly:

"Do you really think you did it flawlessly? Your poor methods were already seen through by Qing Ge, he hit the mark."

Saying this, Ying Mingyue became more confident, "Smart turns out to be foolish, you think deliberately leaving misleading warship remnants at the scene, you can divert the killer’s clues to others, thus clearing yourself of suspicion.

But you forget, a real killer would never leave any evidence that could reveal their identity at the scene?

If the killer was really that stupid, why haven’t they been found yet?"

"Isn’t this contradictory?" Ying Mingyue scoffed.

So that’s it, so that’s it, Qing Ge actually used these reasons to put the focus on me.

Ying Jie was enlightened, hiding his inner excitement, he spoke again:

"Just because of this, you conclude that I killed Ying Jun? Laughable!"

"This is not enough," Ying Mingyue immediately replied: "But, after Ying Jun’s death, you became the sole heir of Shi Wu’s line, benefitted the most, had the strongest motive, if not you, then who to suspect?"

Seeing Ying Jie’s face turn grim, Ying Mingyue felt delight, but unwilling to chat further, "Aunt is somewhat tired today, I won’t accompany long, Jiao’er, see the guest out!"
