Why do you want me to be the sect leader?

Huo Jiulin put his hands on one side of the coffin, and Shuo Weiyu on the other side. Together, they broke the nails on the coffin before opening the coffin.

He slowly pushed the coffin away, and the three of them stared intently, holding their breath for a moment. Shen Yiqing didn't have the time to think carefully about the meaning of Huo Jiulin's words, but when he saw the situation inside the coffin clearly, But he was stunned.

"Father... where is my father?"

There was nothing in the coffin, Huo Jiulin had a flash of understanding in his eyes, and replied: "I am curious about what Doctor Zhou said today, why there is no doctor around at the last moment, even if you know Your father's illness is very serious, if we treat it with our thoughts, we will definitely invite as many doctors as possible to make the last effort."

"You mean to say..."

Shen Yiqing was a little unsure, Huo Jiulin nodded and said, "I suspect your father is not dead at all."

"Jiu Lin, what's going on?"

Huo Jiulin put the lid on the coffin again, stepped on the side and turned back to Shen Yiqing, reached out to Shuo Weiyu who was still below, and Shuo Weiyu jumped up and grabbed his hand and jumped up.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's restore this place first, and let's talk about it when we go back."

Although the guards have all been knocked out, will they wake up halfway, or someone else will come to check, so it is safer to return to their original state as soon as possible.

They restored the tomb, checked that there was nothing wrong with it, and then left the cemetery and returned to the Huo residence. Mrs. Lu and the others were still waiting in the room. When they saw them coming back, they quickly asked, "What's the matter? What did you investigate? Can you determine the real cause of your father's death?"

Shen Yiqing didn't know how to answer, because his own thoughts were in a mess now, they walked to the table and sat down, Huo Jiulin poured a glass of water and took a few sips before replying: "We dug up the tomb and found... "

"What? You actually went to dig the master's grave?"

"Yes, but..."

"Qing'er, are you going to do such a rebellious thing as well?"

"Mother, can you listen to him first?"

Lu Shi also found that she was a little emotional, but how could she treat it calmly after hearing such news, she sat down and looked at Huo Jiulin again.

"Speak, you'd better give a reason."

"Mrs. Shen, were you by my side when Lord Shen passed away?"

"Of course I am."

"Then he's sure he's out of breath?"

"This... is what Mingzhe told me after snorting."

"Did Castle Lord Shen explain anything in the end?"

"Master has been unable to speak since he became seriously ill. I also felt that he seemed to have something to say to me. I thought he might want to explain something, but he couldn't speak, and he couldn't move his hands, so he couldn't write. I I don't even know what he wants to say."

"Mother, didn't you confirm that Dad was really breathless?"

"At that time, I saw that the master was suddenly very excited, and then I was very tired after panting. After that, I rolled my eyes and lost consciousness. Mingzhe stepped forward and sniffed and told me that the master had passed away. Where would I go again when I was flustered? You ask What are these for?"

"We doubt that papa is alive at all."

"what?"

"Originally, it was a strange thing that my father suddenly became seriously ill. He couldn't speak or move his hands, but the doctor only said that he was depressed. How could this be possible?"

"Just now we went to dig up the tomb and saw that the coffin was completely empty, with nothing in it."

Lu Shi was stunned, as if he didn't realize it, he thought for a while before saying: "Yes, Ming Zhe Mingming said..."

"There is definitely something wrong with Shen Mingzhe."

"Could it be that he designed this project because he wants to inherit the Shen family castle? He must also know that my father has not been very optimistic about him, so it is better to act first."

"It's not that simple. If he just wants to inherit the Shenjiabao, he doesn't need to go through so much trouble. Don't forget, your father is just him and your two sons. You have already jumped off the cliff. Everyone will treat you as dead." , which means that the heir of Shen Jiabao is now left alone."

"Then why did he do this? Also, where is my father now?"

"There must be an even more unknown purpose, Mrs. Shen, you said earlier that Lord Shen said that he wanted to find out the mastermind behind the scenes to avenge us?"

"Yes, that's what the master said. It sounds a little strange to me. Isn't the so-called black finger behind the scenes the Devil's Cult? What else are you looking for!"

"Mother, the reason why we jumped off the cliff wasn't caused by the Devil's Cult. What happened to the Devil's Cult is somewhat different from what we thought, but the mystery has not been solved yet, so there is no way to explain it clearly."

Lu Shi was confused, but hearing that his master might still be alive was more important than anything else, and Lu Wen, who was waiting on the side, didn't understand this even more.

"Master, what you said sounds quite unfathomable, so what should we do next? Where are we going to find the master?"

"If Shen Mingzhe really cooperates with the mastermind behind the scenes, then Castle Lord Shen may not necessarily be hidden in the Shen family castle, but anyway, we still have to investigate to be sure."

"Why don't you just arrest the Second Young Master and ask for clarification?"

"No, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, and Castle Master Shen may be in their hands, so it's better not to startle the snake, lest it will lead to worse consequences in time, and I think a pawn like Shen Mingzhe must not know the person behind it Who is it?"

Generally speaking, the person who connects is definitely not the one at the top. Xue Yinhan is a good example. He has worked for that person for so long, but he still doesn't know the other person's true identity.

"Why did Shen Mingzhe cooperate with that person to do such a rebellious thing? Although my father didn't think highly of him, he never treated him badly. I didn't expect him to be so heartless."

"It must have promised something that Shen Mingzhe wanted. It doesn't matter what it is. They designed this fake death, presumably because Castle Lord Shen still has a role for them. What is their purpose, we have no way of knowing yet."

"Then what should we do to save my father?"

"Let's go to the Shenjiabao to check the situation later. I don't think there is much hope. If it is really not in the castle, tomorrow I will write a letter and send someone to rush it to Yunyan City."

"to whom?"

"Xue Yinhan."

"What do you want him to do?"

"I want to make a deal with him, but I don't know if it will be successful."

"Then let's go back to Shenjiabao now."

Huo Jiulin nodded. They were already wearing night clothes, so there was no need to change them. This time, they were just going to investigate the situation. It would be better if there were fewer people, so I asked Shuo Weiyu to go back to rest first. He and Shen Yiqing went there alone. .

The guards in Shenjiabao were the same as before. Huo Jiulin felt that they probably really moved Shen Yuanlong to another place. The two of them avoided the guards and searched for places where people could hide, but they didn't find anything.

It was almost dawn when they returned to Huo Zhai, and Lu Shi and the others were still up. Huo Jiulin casually said a few words to reassure her, and then asked the servant girl to take Lu Shi to rest.

He washed up casually with Shen Yiqing, and Shen Yiqing felt a little physically and mentally exhausted, but she couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed. It was a happy thing to know that her father was still alive, but every day she didn't find him, she couldn't rest assured.

"Ah Qing, you need to sleep."

"I am not sleepy……"

"If you don't sleep, where do you find the energy to look for your father? Don't worry, since that person made such a move, it means that your father's life will not be killed for the time being."

"You also said it's temporary, I'm a little worried..."

"It's useless for you to worry here. It's better to recharge your batteries. If the deal with Xue Yinhan is successful, there will be a fierce battle to deal with."

Shen Yiqing looked up at Huo Jiulin and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Since they are in the dark, we have no way to start, so we have to find a way to lure them out. Let's not talk about this now, go to sleep, and sleep for a while."

After speaking, she hugged him tightly. Shen Yiqing knew that it was useless to ask Huo Jiulin about something she didn't want to say, so she didn't ask any more. Anyway, with him by her side, she could always feel at ease.

Although Shen Yiqing couldn't sleep well because of something in her heart, she still slept for a while, but Huo Jiulin really didn't sleep at all.

Although he has a plan, whether this plan can be realized depends on Xue Yinhan's attitude.

That person Xue Yinhan, sometimes it's really difficult to communicate. Last time, he hit a wall. If he didn't see that he helped him when he was in Gu'an City, he felt that he might not think about it this time.

But he still couldn't figure out why Xue Yinhan would help in the first place, did he want to cooperate or was it just a whim?

In addition, he had to find a way to get in touch with Helian Wuye. He knew that he should have asked where the head teacher of the Demon Sect was now, but he felt that Helian Wuye would send someone to inquire about the news in Qiyue City.

Helian Wuye did send someone to inquire about news in Qiyuecheng, but he still doesn't know that Huo Jiulin and the others have returned safely, because he is busy enough with the Devil's Cult.

Although the people of Baidao have not found out that their head teacher is located in Longyu City, but several other branches have been smashed.

It seemed that this fierce battle was unavoidable, but it had to be carefully planned before the war started, and he couldn't just watch so many brothers die.

"master……"

Worried in the study, seeing Hua Wenzhu walking in, Helian Wuye asked: "What? But there is news from Qi Yuecheng?"

"No, it's just that the servant girl came to tell me that Young Master Su hasn't eaten all day today."

"Su Lubai? What happened to him?"

"The subordinates don't know either."

"Aren't you a doctor?"

"I'm a doctor, but I'm helpless if he doesn't cooperate. Why don't you persuade me, master?"

Helian Wuye got up helplessly and walked out of the study room, Su Lubai can make some troubles every once in a while, he really convinced him, I don't know what will happen this time.

When we arrived at Su Lubai's room, several maidservants were persuading him to eat, seeing Helian Wuye was like a life-saving straw, Helian Wuye waved them down.

Su Lubai was lying weakly by the table. He walked over and sat down and asked, "What's the matter? I heard they said you were on a hunger strike?"

"I'm a little upset."

Helian Wuye wanted to laugh: "You have food and drink all day long, and someone serves you carefree. What's the trouble? I haven't even said it's trouble."

Su Lubai looked at Helian Wuye with some grievance upon hearing this, "Are you bothering me?"

"I don't have time to bother you. I've had enough troubles recently. Eat quickly."

"You coax me."

"Who gave you a bad habit? How old are you and you still need to be coaxed to eat?"

Su Lubai pouted, in fact, what he wanted to say was not to coax him to eat, he just wanted to hear him say he liked it, but he was so bad, he didn't know anything, how could he be comparable to Brother Nine, so he probably won't hear it in this life .

Thinking of this, he felt even more aggrieved. It was the first time he fell in love with someone, but he still had an unrequited love. Thinking about it made him feel sad!
