The saint herself did not feel how shocking this sentence was. After she finished speaking, she observed the reactions of the people in the gaze stayed on someone for a moment, and then she focused on Ranran's face, as if she had found her favorite toy.
The Holy White Guards only had to obey. They looked at Ran Ran, and after a moment's pause, they immediately accepted the order respectfully.
The saint did not say anything absolute, but just let everyone speculate that Ran Ran was not the murderer, but this was already a blatant defense.
Everyone immediately felt the saint's special feeling towards Ranran, but they didn't understand.
Because Ranran doesn't look as good as Luo Jinghua, nor as good-looking as Lord Yi. How could a person whose name has never been heard of win the favor of the saint?
However, everyone quickly accepted the sudden change in the saint's attitude. After all, she was the owner of this mountain.
But this current situation has made everyone puzzled. The original suspect Luo Jinghua is not the murderer, and now the suspicious Ran Ran is not the murderer either. Who else could it be?
Yun Qingxi quickly analyzed that if Ran Ran was really not the murderer, and deduced in reverse according to the Saint's intention...
So can we consider that the suspicion towards Ran Ran and even the suspicion towards Luo Jinghua were all instigated by the real murderer?
This person was leading everyone to suspect Luo Jinghua. When one plan failed, he came up with another one and pushed out Ran Ran, while he was always hiding in the background...
From the moment Luo Pingyang died until now, the key points of the development of this matter are:
Ran Ran and his group discovered Luo Pingyang's body.
The Holy White Guard judged that the murderer was most likely a person with extremely high cultivation or someone Luo Pingyang knew.
And everyone thought that Ran Ran might have had a conflict with Luo Pingyang because he was found to have the Fire Soul Stone, which led to the murder in passion.
The first point is the beginning of the matter, and the next two points made Luo Jinghua and Ran Ran suspicious respectively.
Behind these three events, there is the same driving force.
This person not only discovered the body, but also led everyone to deepen their suspicion of Luo Jinghua, and even made everyone think that Ran Ran had reasons to kill.
Gu Fan.
To determine whether his words and actions were intentional or unintentional, we must first determine whether he has any relationship with Luo Pingyang.
As one of the elite disciples leading the seven major sects, Yun Qingxi is indeed polite and courteous, but he rarely really cares about other people's feelings, especially those he doesn't care about.
When he thought of this, he asked directly.
Gu Fan stood there in a daze, not knowing why Yun Qingxi would suddenly ask him such a question.
Many people around him were also confused about the situation.
"What's going on...why are you suddenly asking Brother Gu Fan?"
Yun Qingxi remained unmoved. This time he believed in his own judgment more than ever before.
Gu Fan replied blankly: "Luo Pingyang and I have nothing to do with each other. Luo Pingyang is from the Luo family of Yunya. I am just a disciple of a small sect."
The three companions who were familiar with him, Zhou Zheng, Liu Liangping, and Chen Liang, and even many other disciples who knew Gu Fan knew that this was the truth. Gu Fan was indeed from a small sect.
Zhou Zheng even said sarcastically: "He is from a small family, how can he be related to the high and mighty Luo family? They are not even remotely related."
It is really difficult to deal with such a complicated situation.
Doesn't it matter?
Yun Qingxi immediately began to check his reasoning.
Luo Jinghua seemed to suddenly think of something, "No, just tell me which sect you are from."
Zhou Zheng and the others thought that Gu Fan would give a direct answer, but unexpectedly he fell silent.
This made the people who had just spoken for him feel uneasy.
Could it be that Gu Fan is really related to Luo Pingyang?
Yun Qingxi didn't want to waste any more time, so he pointed directly at Zhou Zheng: "Tell me, what sect does he belong to?"
Zhou Zheng looked at Gu Fan, who was keeping his head down and not saying a word, and his original belief began to waver. On one side was his silent old friend, and on the other side were the seven major sect disciples who always looked arrogant.
But he still said it, and answered in a voice that even he felt guilty about: "He is from Xiaohengwu Mountain."
As if to prove something, Luo Jinghua looked at the Saint happily and answered:
"Before Luo Pingyang was brought back by his father, he was practicing in Xiaohengwu Mountain."
The expression of the Saint Goddess on the high seat did not change.
Everyone was shocked; they had not expected such a turn of events.
They are actually related. Could it be that a disciple from a ruined mountain sect really killed someone from the Yunya Luo family? !
Gu Fan, who had been silent since the beginning, finally spoke.
He seemed like a different person, and his face, which was always smiling, became empty.
When he looked at them, those eyes that could easily bring joy and relaxation to those around them were now like a dry well without water, very calm but also lifeless.
His voice was light, as if he had accepted his fate.
"Really? A man like Luo Jinghua would actually talk about the experience he hates the most?"

Luo Jinghua frowned at his expression and said, "This is not what he said. I personally went to Xiaoheng Wushan to pick him up when he returned to the Luo family. That's why I know about his past."
Everyone was a little surprised for a moment. They didn't expect that the Luo family would be so good at educating Luo Jinghua. It was almost outrageous that they allowed him to maintain such a friendly attitude towards his illegitimate brother.
If Luo Pingyang was more respectful to Luo Jinghua, then this would be the wonderful brotherly love and respect between the legitimate son and the illegitimate son of the Luo family.
Luo Jinghua seemed to see through everyone's thoughts, and said with a slightly cold face: "This is my father's order, and it is also my responsibility as the eldest son. There is no personal wish."
Everyone then felt that it made sense. After all, the relationship between the two brothers before was not an exaggeration to say that they were enemies.
But everyone still felt it.
How come not only Gu Fan has changed, but Luo Jinghua seems to have changed as well.
If it were the Luo Jinghua of the past, he would never show that he saw through what others were thinking and refute it.
No matter how much he hated or disliked others, he always maintained the image of the eldest son of the Luo family. He did not refute others, kept a distance from everyone while observing standard etiquette. It was like he was wearing a mask of eternal rationality.
And now, it seems like he has torn off the mask and revealed his true inner self.
By the way, when did something wrong start to happen to him? It seemed like it started when he entered this bedroom?
Someone noticed that Luo Jinghua seemed to look at the saint intentionally or unintentionally, as if observing her reaction to his words.
Oh~ So it’s because of the Saint, no wonder…
The saint who was being watched by everyone was supporting her head and looking at Gu Fan intently.
"Why kill him?"
Before Gu Fan could answer, Yun Qingxi slapped his head:
"No, no, if it's him, it doesn't make sense. It must be a conflict that happened after we entered the mountain!"
"How could it be because of past grudges? If it was because of past grudges, how could we pass through Liujing Lake?"
What he muttered to himself made so much sense that everyone's thoughts were led in the same direction.
Could it be Gu Fan too? Then who is it?
At this moment, Qin Siyi seemed to have finally accepted a certain fact and broke away from his zombie state.
He sat beside the saint again, his lips pale, and refuted Yun Qingxi's words with impatience on his face.
"You are completely wrong! Liujing Lake is not infallible. There are some methods that can hide from Liujing Lake's detection, but the price is very terrible."
"Bai Er, check him out." (End of this chapter)
