At this time, everyone in Qianshan gathered outside Luo Pingyang's bedroom. Even though there was a Holy White Guard presiding inside, the scene seemed a bit chaotic."How could someone die?" Most of the people in the crowd expressed disbelief.
Although they are competitors, no matter the complicated sects and families behind them or the considerable resources they can obtain in Wushan even if they never see the Saint, it is impossible for them to be jealous of each other to the point of killing.
"It feels more like a murder to vent personal grudges, right?"
As soon as this question was raised, everyone thought of the conflict between the legitimate son and the illegitimate son of the Luo family yesterday.
Someone with a quick tongue immediately responded: "Could it be Luo Jinghua?"
This was like water dropping into a frying pan, and the crowd exploded.
Xiao Yiyang was the first to refute. He looked extremely determined: "Fellow Daoist Luo would never do such a thing."
The deaths obviously intensified the conflicts between some small sects and the seven major sects.
Not all the sects in the territories of the seven major sects are dependent on them. There are also sects that have been squeezed out by the seven major sects and have almost no living space.
Perhaps it was out of sympathy for those who were also excluded by the seven major sects, or simply because the outstanding disciples of the seven major sects were involved in such a bad thing, and he simply wanted to speak out.
Someone immediately sneered:
"Fellow Daoist Luo, you call him Fellow Daoist Luo so affectionately, but the one who died was also Fellow Daoist Luo?"
Xiao Yi Yang was furious when he heard this, but he couldn't figure out who was talking in the chaotic crowd.
Yun Qingxi thought for a while and then expressed his thoughts.
"Everyone has passed the test of Liujing Lake, which means that the murderer would never have come to Wushan with the purpose of killing Luo Pingyang from the beginning, otherwise he would not have been able to pass this test."
"The murderer could only have come to Wushan and had a conflict with Luo Pingyang in these two short days. He might have killed him in a state of emotional excitement."
After Yun Qingxi finished speaking, whispers broke out among the crowd.
"In that case, doesn't it seem more like Luo Jinghua? The two of them had such a fight yesterday, and Luo Pingyang was so crazy. I think if there weren't so many of us there, he would have attacked Luo Jinghua a long time ago. Luo Jinghua must have been suppressing his temper at the time!"
As everyone was discussing, the person involved, Luo Jinghua, arrived.
Whether it was out of guilt or the sense of oppression he brought with him, everyone spontaneously made way for him.
The scene finally calmed down at this time.
In fact, Luo Jinghua had heard everyone's argument from a long distance away, but he still just said lightly that it was not him.
Someone immediately said sarcastically: "Haha, this is so simple, after I kill someone, I just need to say it wasn't me, and everyone will have to believe me, because I am from the Seven Great Sects!"
This sentence aroused the dissatisfaction that had been buried in the hearts of many people for a long time.
For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
Someone suddenly shouted.
"Is that the Saint Lady?!"
Everyone's attention was diverted in an instant.
The crowd was like boiling water and oil, more intense than ever before.
"It seems to be true!!! Wait... the one next to Lady Saint... is that Lord Yi?"
When everyone gathered together again yesterday to review the news, they had already confirmed that the man in red who had appeared in the front mountain to provoke at the beginning was Lord Yi, the only attendant of the Saint.
Now that they saw Qin Siyi could walk beside the Saint, they could not help but feel envious.
For a moment, no one cared about Luo Pingyang's body anymore. They were all ecstatic and agitated because of the arrival of the saint.
Ranran wanted to laugh when she observed this, but the dead person's situation prevented her from laughing.
She is the first eyewitness to this incident.
But for some reason, her premonition kept warning her that things might not be simple.
The crowd was extremely agitated, but after the Saint gradually approached, the scene gradually became quiet. By the time the Saint really walked into the crowd, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, with only the intermittent breathing sounds of the candidate followers.
Qin Siyi looked at these people, grinning with gritted teeth, and there was a hint of madness swirling in the depths of his pupils.
He took the saint's hand.
"Your Highness, let's go inside the palace."
After observing those people's eyes suddenly become dim, envious, and even jealous, his smile finally became sincere. After entering the hall, the Holy White Guards followed Qin Siyi's instructions and retreated to both sides of the hall, no longer blocking those who had been trying to come in to observe the situation.
When everyone saw the actions of the Holy White Guard, they did not dare to go in as boldly as before, but moved into the hall step by step.
In the eyes of the Saint, I'm afraid everyone here is suspicious. Who would rush to do such a bad thing...
Everyone originally thought that since the Saint Lady had come to the front mountain, she would definitely take control of the whole matter and order an investigation.
Unexpectedly, they saw Qin Siyi sitting directly next to the saint and staring at everyone, as if he was the one in charge of the situation.
And this is indeed the case.
Qin Siyi sat down with the Saint, and without paying any attention to the sudden burst of surprise and admiration in the eyes of the quail-like people below, he directly ordered the Holy White Guards to report the situation.
"Bai Wu, you speak."
"No, no! Xiao Hei! This guy is clearly here to show off his authority!"
Luo Jinghua stood out among the crowd of young talents, looking cold and dignified, but no one knew how intense his psychological activities were at this moment.

The little white Luo Jinghua in his heart had gained strength after seeing the saint, but then he saw such a heart-wrenching scene.
Xiaohei Luo Jinghua's face really turned black, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
The audience was somewhat incredulous. Could it be that this Lord Yi was in charge of Wu Shan? How could the Saint love him so much and let him give orders?
What is the Saint doing?
She was in a daze, bored.
This is what appeared in everyone’s eyes:
The Saint Lady, whom they regarded as the Lord of Wushan, just looked calmly at the embroidery on the cuffs of Lord Yi, as if there was some rare treasure there, and she was very focused.
Everyone couldn't help but think that the candidates in previous years were really wronged. Everyone speculated that it was because the disciples' qualifications were too poor, resulting in no one being able to see the face of the Saint.
And they originally thought so! Who knew that the Saint Lady would turn a blind eye to someone as outstanding as Luo Jinghua.
It is obvious that he has already won the heart of one person, and there is no room for others.
Watching their expressions change, Qin Siyi raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction.
Great, that's what I wanted.
No matter how surprised everyone was at the saint's attitude towards Qin Siyi, the trial to find the murderer still began.
Bai Wu methodically told what he knew.
The body was discovered by five people: Ran Ran, Jia Fan, Zhou Zheng, Liu Liangping, and Chen Liang.
According to what they said, they all wanted to accompany Ranran to retrieve the items that were dropped here.
Upon hearing this, Qin Siyi turned his gaze towards the people Bai Wu pointed out. His eyes flashed with shock at first, and then the smile on his lips slowly widened.
"Oh, Shen Yanwen, right? Did you leave something here?"
Ranran was shocked. She didn't know whether Lord Yi was a forgetful person or he didn't see her face clearly yesterday. In any case, he didn't expose the fact that she was the owner of the Fire Soul Stone.
Ran Ran replied in a normal tone: "I lived with Luo Pingyang yesterday, but Brother Gu Fan invited me to live with him today, so I moved out."
"When I was counting my belongings today, I found that my jade pendant was missing. Brother Gu Fan suspected that it had been left here and not taken away, so he came with me and three other companions to look for it."
"Luo Pingyang was already dead when we arrived here."
Qin Siyi's expression turned indifferent after hearing this, "So that's how it is."
At his signal, Bai Wu continued his story.
"There was only one sword wound on Luo Pingyang's body. It went through his heart and killed him in one blow. The person who did it was either much more powerful than him or someone he knew."
Everyone looked at each other and knew what each other was thinking at a glance.
Everyone knew it, but no one said it out loud.
Only Gu Fan accidentally told the truth.
"He has a high level of cultivation or he is someone Luo Pingyang knows well... This description is too much like Luo Jinghua!" (End of this chapter)
