226 Chapter 222
" senior hua is right. long chen was just a bystander, but he stood up to slander senior hua at the critical moment. he must have a wicked heart. i think the murderer is most likely long chen. "
cao qiu, ranked seventh on the warrior king roll, stood out to support hua qingfeng.
hua qingfeng looked at cao qiu with satisfaction.
with cao qiu\'s help, hua qingfeng was more confident that he could control the martial alliance and take over the dragon doctor.
and tonight was the start of the attack.
" senior hua and senior cao have both spoken. i think it\'s most likely long chen. "
"i also think so."
"long chen, why did you kill senior zhantai?"
many people were questioning long chen.
whether they believed it or not, no one dared to question cao qiu and hua qingfeng.
both of them were martial arts grandmasters and had extraordinary status.
whoever dared to question it would be dealt with.
this was without a doubt.
yang su couldn\'t bear to listen anymore and couldn\'t help but say, " senior hua, senior cao, both of you are renowned figures in the martial arts world. since both of you claim that long chen is the murderer, i would like to ask, do you have any evidence? "
"are our words not evidence?"
hua qingfeng narrowed his eyes.
yang su shook his head and said, " seniors, you must know that long chen\'s martial cultivation may not be as good as yours. however, he is also an important figure in great xia. he is not someone you can frame with just a few words. "
if the two of you are sure that long chen is the murderer, please show me the relevant evidence. otherwise, you can\'t just make irresponsible remarks. you may have a high status, but that doesn\'t mean you can convict whoever you want."
"little girl, you have a sharp tongue. if i remember correctly, you are from the yang family, right? your grandfather, yang shenhuan, followed me when he was young. why is it that in your generation, you don\'t seem to have any respect for me at all?"
hua qingfeng stared at yang su with a faint smile.
" respect and blind faith are two different things, " yang su said. " i\'m doing this for the good of you, senior. if you decide to punish long chen as you see fit, the world will not be convinced if you accuse the innocent after the murderer is found. "
hearing this, hua qingfeng frowned.
he wasn\'t afraid of the doubts from the outside world, but he was worried that some hypocrites in the internal department would use this to make a big deal out of it. this was a huge hidden danger that he had to guard against.
" little girl, what you said does make sense. indeed, we can\'t wrong a good person. of course, we can\'t wrong a bad person either. so, we will continue to investigate this matter. "
hua qingfeng said sternly.
"alright," he said.
yang su nodded lightly.
long chen looked at yang su. for his sake, she was willing to confront cao qiu and hua qingfeng, two grandmasters. he was very touched.
" mr. long, you made a woman speak up for you. can\'t you say it yourself? "
cao qiu stared at long chen, frowning. " "if you\'re innocent, you should clear it up yourself. don\'t tell me you\'ve been relying on women all this time? i\'ve heard that director xia, the renowned dragon doctor, is also a great beauty. as expected, the good-looking can do whatever they want."
"you\'re ugly, so you\'re envious of other people\'s good looks? i understand, i sympathize with you.
but senior cao, plastic surgery is very advanced now, you can have plastic surgery to look like me. if you don\'t have money, i can lend you some. i don\'t lack money."
long chen said with a smile.
wuah.
everyone was shocked.
no one had expected long chen to be so bold as to talk back to cao qiu.
cao qiu glared at long chen with a hint of killing intent in his eyes."you, this junior, are you tired of living? don\'t think that i won\'t dare to touch you just because you have the dragon doctor helping the world. it\'s still very easy for a martial arts expert to kill you."
as he spoke, cao qiu released his aura and pressed it down on long chen.
he thought that he could make long chen shiver with his powerful aura.
however, long chen stood up straight and as steady as a mountain. he said casually, " "it shouldn\'t be hard for a rich man to kill you. you\'re only ranked seventh on the warrior king board. old cao, you should keep a low profile and not be too arrogant."
"you\'re looking for death."
cao qiu was so angry that he slapped long chen.
yang su\'s expression changed, and he reached out to block.
however, long chen was quick to react and pulled yang su back two steps.
the seemingly simple two steps allowed him to avoid cao qiu\'s palm.
cao qiu\'s palm hit nothing but air. he immediately lifted his leg and swept it across, his genuine qi surging.
long chen hugged yang su\'s slender waist and moved two steps to the side, easily avoiding her again.
cao qiu\'s two moves had missed, and he could no longer keep a straight face.
just as he was about to continue his attack, hua qingfeng stopped him.
"old cao, you\'re trying to test this young man\'s martial cultivation, right? haha, there\'s no need for that. we might all be friends in the future." hua qingfeng laughed.
cao qiu immediately realized that hua qingfeng was trying to give him a way out.
after taking a deep breath, he resisted the urge to make a big fuss and said with a fake smile, " mr. long\'s martial cultivation might not be below mine. it seems that the world has underestimated you. "
"no, no, no," long chen smiled and said, " i\'m actually very weak. it\'s just that your martial arts cultivation isn\'t that great, old cao. the path of martial arts is like a boat sailing against the current. if you don\'t advance, you will fall behind. old cao, you have to work hard. don\'t neglect your cultivation for the sake of money in the human world. it\'s not worth it. you\'re already so old. what\'s the use of having too much wealth? money in the human world doesn\'t circulate in the netherworld. "
"what did you just say?"
cao qiu gritted his teeth.
"i mean it literally."
long chen was very calm.
he was so sure that cao qiu wouldn\'t dare to make another move.
even if cao qiu was so angry that he wanted to fight to the death, he wouldn\'t mind. he would kill cao qiu to establish his might and let these idiots know that he, long chen, was not someone to be trifled with.
" long chen, as an ordinary member of the audience, you can leave now. senior zhantai died a mysterious death. we need to have an internal discussion to find the murderer. you\'re not suitable to listen. please. "
hua qingfeng ordered.
long chen stretched lazily and said indifferently, " "since we\'re not welcome, we\'ll leave. susu, let\'s go."
"yes."
yang su nodded obediently.
yang shenhuan and yang ji also got up and left.
they knew clearly that after yang su and long chen had fallen out with hua qingfeng and cao qiu, their stance would be clear, and there was no need to pretend anymore.
the group walked out of the divine wind hotel and quickly left, returning to the yang family.
" long chen, today\'s matter is not as simple as it seems. hua qingfeng will definitely try to find ways to frame you for zhantai dao\'s death. he\'s about to take over the position of alliance leader, so he won\'t leave a stain on his reputation. "
yang shenhuan said sternly.
"i\'m not afraid." " the innocent will know the truth, " long chen said softly. " he can only win for a while, not forever. one day, when he dies, the truth will come out. anyone who knows how zhantai dao died will know. now, those people are only mindlessly flattering him because they are afraid of hua qingfeng, or because they are driven by profit. "
