BXBX NOVEL Chapter 398 - 398: Su Qain Has the Appearance Of a Seductive Fox
“Reporting to Sect Master, Young Master Qing Zhu requests an audience.” The maid walked up and reported delicately.
“What is he doing here?” Qu Xiaodie started to feel unhappy when she heard Qing Zhu’s name. She immediately raised her chin arrogantly and said angrily, “Grandfather, you have no idea what Eldest Senior Brother is thinking all day long. He actually thinks of ways to take care of Su Qian.”
“How can you be so willful? You went too far previously. Qing Zhu was just being kind and didn’t want us to look too bad.” After all, Lady Qin had a better sense of propriety, couldn’t help but touch Qu Xiaodie’s head helplessly and said.
“That’s right. Sect Master, we can’t treat Su Qian and the others harshly. Otherwise, if this gets out, others will gossip about our Tianji Sect,” Yun Xiao said.
“Indeed, it seems that Qing Zhu is still very thoughtful.” Qin Guang was in a good mood now. He raised his hand to touch his chin and said, “Go, let Qing Zhu come in.”
“Yes.” The maid obediently left the room and then politely ushered Qing Zhu inside.
“Disciple greets Sect Master, First Elder, Madam Qin.” Qing Zhu greeted them with a gentle demeanor and bowed respectfully.
“Qing Zhu, why are you here at this hour?” Qin Guang looked at Qing Zhu and was very satisfied with Qing Zhu’s strength. “It’s already so late. Have you eaten? If not, why don’t you sit down and eat together?”
“Thank you, Sect Master, but I’ve already eaten.” Qing Zhu’s expression remained unchanged and he said indifferently.
“Oh, then what brings you here?” Qin Guang didn’t force him and said indifferently.
Among everyone present, only Qu Xiaodie had a look of utter disdain and seemed like she wanted to devour Qin Guang alive. She used her fierce gaze to stare coldly at Qing Zhu.
Qing Zhu didn’t care about Qu Xiaodie’s gaze at all. Instead, he cupped his hands at Qin Guang and said, “I’m here to ask you, Sect Master. I wanted to inquire about the investigation into Su Qian’s murder case. How is the investigation progressing?”
“Oh, you mean that matter.” Qin Guang didn’t seem to care. “It’s an indisputable fact that Su Qian killed our people. There’s nothing to investigate.”
Qing Zhu frowned. “But if we convict someone without investigating, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to convince the public.”
“No worries. I’ve already resolved the matter, ensuring a definitive conclusion without any future troubles,” Qin Guang said cheerfully, laughing lightly.
After Qin Guang finished speaking, everyone present, other than Qing Zhu, had an evil smile on their faces. Seeing this, Qing Zhu suddenly had a bad premonition.
Qing Zhu wasn’t sure where this feeling came from, but Qing Zhu furrowed his brows and asked, “Sect Master, what do you mean by that?”
“Why do you care so much? Eldest Senior Brother, don’t blame me for speaking harshly! I’m just curious, Senior Brother, why do you care so much about that Elder of Xuanyun Sect?” Qu Xiaodie asked in a sarcastic tone and smiled coldly.
Just hearing Qu Xiaodie’s words made Qing Zhu feel nauseous. At that moment, even the smile on her lips disappeared completely. “Junior Sister, what do you mean by that?”
With her own family members by her side, Qu Xiaodie had nothing to be afraid of. She seemed intent on provoking Qing Zhu. “Eldest Senior Brother, some things are better left unsaid. But, well, you can’t be blamed for this. After all, Su Qian has the appearance of a seductive fox and knows how to entice men. It’s no wonder Eldest Senior Brother couldn’t resist..”
