Chapter 737: Hearsay
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Because I’ve only just been promoted to a silver-level assassin, I don’t know much about this matter. However, there are still some rumors circulating in the organization.”
Liu Qing roughly recalled and organized his thoughts before raising his thin lips. “The Third and Sixth Elders of the organization didn’t manage to be saved after the explosion and died. There were also a few stewards, and even the lives of some of the close friends of Sect Master Ji were fixed on that day.”
However, Shan Yue did not care about these people at all, because she was the one who detonated the explosion. The reason why they died with her was completely because these people were the ones who stabbed her in the back. “Doesn’t Ji Chen suspect the reason and purpose of this explosion? What has happened to the organization that has suffered such casualties? Not only Ling Yue, but some elders and stewards have also died on the spot. Isn’t this worth investigating?”
Shan Yue was very puzzled, but she did not expect this person in front of her, who was only a silver-level assassin, to give any accurate answers to these questions.
However, reality proved that Shan Yue’s guess was not wrong.
“There’s only so much information circulating in the organization. They didn’t give a specific explanation for such a serious matter in the end. Perhaps some people in high positions can learn more about the inside story, but someone like me doesn’t have the qualifications.”
Liu Qing was very clear about his status. “However, there’s one thing I’m sure of. Because of this, Sect Master Ji Chen and Sect Master Ji Yun, who were originally not in the organization, rushed back to preside over the situation.” “Does anyone know better than you?”
Shan Yue asked further, hoping to get her next goal from him. “1 mean those who really know the inside story, not hearsay like you.”
“Among the people I know, I don’t think—” Just as Liu Qing was about to say “so”, a name suddenly flashed across his mind. “There is!”
Chang Ling said impatiently, “Do you have it or not? You just said no, but it only took a second for it to become yes again. Let me advise you. You’d better tell the truth. Don’t fool our President Shan.”
“Of course. Even my daughter’s life is completely under your control. Why should I dare to fool you? Even if I don’t want to live, i have to consider my child.”
Liu Qing’s words were very sincere. “I have a friend called Mu Rong. Not long after the incident happened, he told me that he knew some inside information about the explosion. He said that he happened to hear it from Third Elder’s steward when he delivered the things. However, at that time, I was only thinking about myself and was completely uninterested in this matter, so 1 didn’t listen.”
“Mu Rong? 1 really don’t remember this name.”
Shan Yue quickly searched for these two words in her mind, but no matter how hard she searched in the fragments of her memories, there was no trace.
However, this did not mean that she had gained nothing. She was very familiar with Third Elder’s steward, Zong Xing. Although she was doted on in the organization in her previous life, she could not be liked by everyone.
Zong Xing was a very typical example. She did not understand that she and Shan Yue were both girls. Be it looks or character, she was not inferior to Shan Yue. It was just that there was a difference in skills, but there was a world of difference between the two of them.
Zong Xing was very puzzled. Could it be that because Shan Yue was the last disciple of Sect Leader Ji Chen, she had special privileges that others did not?
Shan Yue could imagine with her eyes closed that when she found out that she and the Third Elder had lost their lives, she would definitely not be very sad. Instead, her happiness would take up more of her space.
An explosion had resolved two of her greatest worries. The Ling Yue she was jealous of had disappeared from the organization. Moreover, once the Third Elder died, this position would definitely be vacated, and the best candidate for the elder position would be Zong Xing, who was the Third Elder’s steward.
Such a good thing to have something fall into your lap was probably something that many people would never encounter in their lives.
“That’s right, it’s him.” Liu Qing’s attitude was very firm. He confirmed again, “But that’s what he said. However, I’m not sure what he knows..”
