I signed in to the Sunflower Collection at the beginning, and I threw it away

As she spoke, she put down her teacup, put her hands together, and muttered words, as if she was chanting prayer terms such as the mantra of rebirth.

Xu Ling frowned.

It shouldn't.

This is not right.

Although he didn't have much contact with Zeng Xiangde and Ding Ling, he could feel that Zeng Xiangde still had feelings for Ding Ling.

It is impossible for Zeng Xiangde to kill Ding Ling.

This great future, a beautiful life has just begun, who would ruin it like him?

Something must have happened to cause this tragedy.

But Xu Ling didn't know it.

At this moment, he noticed that Qin Shuang was hesitating, hesitating to speak.

"Do you know something?" Xu Ling asked with a strange expression.

Qin Shuang nodded.

"Then you didn't say it earlier." Xu Ling rolled his eyes.

"But, but this matter..." Qin Shuang was very embarrassed, hesitating, a little unable to speak.

"If you're embarrassed to say it, forget it." Xu Ling didn't intend to investigate the truth, but it was so sudden that he didn't expect it.

Zeng Xiangde gave up his bright future and defected from the mountains...

This matter has nothing to do with him.

It's just that Xu Ling feels a little bit sorry for being the first brother from the same sect that he met in Yuding Pavilion.

Thinking of Zeng Xiangde's high-spirited appearance yesterday, he didn't expect to become a murderer and a fugitive who betrayed his teacher today.

Seeing him building up, seeing him entertaining guests, seeing his building collapse...

"Actually, it's not hard to say. It's just that this matter is too bizarre. I think it's absurd, and I'm not sure whether it's true or not, so I hesitated." Qin Shuang said thoughtfully.

"What kind of absurd method?" Xu Ling suddenly became interested.

Qin Shuang held her chin and said, "Isn't it the wedding night in the bridal chamber last night? Some disciples wanted to make trouble in the bridal chamber, or eavesdrop on the corner of the wall as a prank..."

"As a result, they had just reached the wall of the bridal chamber when they heard Zeng Xiangde and Senior Sister Ding quarreling."

"They didn't hear exactly what the quarrel was about, but they just vaguely heard about the eunuch's divorce..."

"Because the noise was too loud, no one dared to eavesdrop for too long, so they withdrew."

"Only the few disciples heard about this matter, and they didn't think much of it at first. It wasn't until today's incident spread that they found out that it was serious, so they told about what they eavesdropped on last night."

"But not many people believe this, and they all think they heard it wrong."

Qin Shuang thought for a while and said, "I think so too, that's why I think it's absurd, and I don't think it's necessary to tell you."

Xu Ling was stunned.

Eunuch?

There was a bang in the head, as if it had exploded.

No wonder Zeng Xiangde's temperament changed drastically in less than a short period of time.

It's no wonder that people with mediocre aptitudes, like myself, were able to be promoted to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm in a short period of time.

It turned out that "Sunflower Treasure" was really picked up by him!

In this way, everything can be explained.

Xu Ling's mood is very complicated now, rather than shock, it's better to say guilt.

If he hadn't thrown the book casually at the beginning, Zeng Xiangde would have been unable to pick it up, and then the following series of things would not have happened.

Xu Ling sighed softly, and closed his eyes weakly.

Qin Shuang comforted: "You don't have to be too sad. Zeng Xiangde must have gone crazy in his practice when he did this kind of thing. I hope that the teacher in charge can catch him as soon as possible and bring him to justice. I can't let Senior Sister Ding be in vain. die."

"Yes, I hope." Xu Ling said softly.

……

Three days later.

Headmaster Ding and his group have returned.

They were full of anger and frustration, apparently they did not catch Zeng Xiangde.

In fact, this is no wonder.

Zeng Xiangde ran away the night before, it's no wonder Zhangjiao Ding and his team were able to catch up.

In front of his daughter's grave, Zhangjiao Ding cried into tears. It's hard to imagine that such a healthy man would suddenly become so fragile.

Xu Ling also attended the funeral and silently bowed in front of the grave.

In a sense, the deaths of Ding Ling and those maidservants were indirectly related to Xu Ling.

"From now on, whoever avenges my daughter will be the deputy head teacher!" Head teacher Ding said through gritted teeth.

After returning to the back mountain, Xu Ling began to retreat.

His cultivation has reached a bottleneck and needs a breakthrough.

Qin Shuang came to look for him several times, but saw no one, so he had to feed Xu Wei some food.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

"Finally broke through."

Xu Ling opened his eyes and exhaled slowly.

After such a long period of closed-door training, his strength has finally been raised to the middle stage of Void Refining Realm.

And at the same time.

The Xuanyang Sword Sect thousands of miles away ushered in a happy day.
