Chapter 38: Three Questions

With the murderer who killed Left Left Sima Liu Yi determined to be Vulture of the Hundred Birds organization, and Vulture fleeing in fear of crime,

the soldiers originally guarding around the Left Left Sima’s mansion were also much fewer.

However, Lady Hu didn't care about this.

In fact, she didn't have a trace of sadness for Liu Yi’s death.

If she had just heard of Liu Yi’s death, she might have been a bit uncomfortable, but until she saw that box and learned the truth of Liu Yi’s death.

She, as Liu Yi’s widow,

even if she was a pitiful and sad person according to the story Su Xuan told, Su Xuan found out the truth and finally had to inform her. Therefore, after the court meeting ended, someone came to the mansion and told Lady Hu the truth.

Learning that it was really Liu Yi who colluded with the Three Wolves of Broken Hair to slaughter her entire family back then, the grief and indignation in Lady Hu’s heart were indescribable.

Immediately after, she made a request to the messenger who came to deliver the letter: she wanted to see Mr. Su, who had solved the case.

After that, Su Xuan came here.

In the study of the Left Left Sima mansion,

this was also the place where Liu Yi’s body was found earlier. Now, it had become a place for Su Xuan and Lady Hu to talk.

"Please mourn, Lady Hu!"

Although Su Xuan knew that Lady Hu had someone else in her heart, after seeing her, he still comforted her. In any case, Liu Yi was Lady Hu’s husband.

Lady Hu didn't show any sadness on her face. Her voice was low as she said to Su Xuan: "Mr. Su, you are an expert, and I am just a weak woman with no ability. If it weren't for questions I want to ask Mr. Su, I would really not want to disturb you."

"What do you want to ask, Lady?" Su Xuan appeared quite kind.

Lady Hu got straight to the point and asked the first question: "Is what Mr. Su said in the court true?"

Even after seeing that box, she had speculations in her heart. Even if the messenger had relayed the truth Su Xuan said in the court to her, she still wanted to confirm it with Su Xuan.

"It is all true!"

Su Xuan did not hide this. Although he didn't really investigate the case, and the so-called Art of Communicating with the Nether was essentially just disguised with illusions, these things were the truth described in the original work, and they were all real.

Lady Hu’s delicate body shook slightly. "Liu Yi..."

She muttered this name softly, her words containing bone-deep hatred.

Thinking of her father, thinking of those familiar faces in the Lord Huoyu Manor, and thinking that they all died because of Liu Yi, Lady Hu’s mood could not get better. It was a pity that she had regarded Liu Yi as a good person before, and since marrying him, she had served him for many years.

As a result, she was blind after all and didn't see clearly that this was her real enemy.

She felt extremely uncomfortable, and finally, she endured the sadness and said to Su Xuan: "I have one more, no, two questions I want to ask, sir!"

"What questions?"

"The first question is, is Li Kai still alive?"

Li Kai was the former Right Left Sima of Han and the one who loved Lady Hu. In the story Su Xuan told, he was mentioned, so Lady Hu knew that Su Xuan must know who this was.

On the day Liu Yi was murdered, she had had a quarrel with Liu Yi because she saw a figure extremely similar to Li Kai when she was watching a play in the theater. Even though he was unrecognizable, she still recognized him.

Unfortunately, since then, she had wanted to find him, but there had been no clues.

"Li Kai is indeed still alive!"

Su Xuan answered Lady Hu’s first question.

"Then he..." Lady Hu wanted to ask about Li Kai’s whereabouts.

Su Xuan said: "Please consider carefully, Lady. Is this last question for Li Kai, or for someone else? For you, Lady, there are probably more important people than just Li Kai."

Lady Hu was stunned and immediately hesitated.

Finally, the words on her lips changed to another question: "Where is... my daughter?"

If Liu Yi heard this, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. It was well known that after Lady Hu married Liu Yi, she did not give birth to any offspring, so it was obviously impossible for her to have a daughter.

The only man who had a close relationship with Lady Hu back then was Li Kai.

So, if she had a daughter, it could only be Li Kai’s daughter.

Hearing Lady Hu’s question, Su Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Lady Hu was treating him as a divine calculator!

How could he calculate the secrets of heaven and know these things?

However, he thought for a moment and finally answered: "Zilan Pavilion!"

Lady Hu’s delicate body shook again. She hadn't expected Su Xuan to actually give an answer. She had heard of what Zilan Pavilion was—a famous place of pleasure in Xinzheng City.

Was her daughter there?

Was she... still alive?

If Liu Yi hadn't just died and the case hadn't been closed, Lady Hu would have wanted to rush to Zilan Pavilion immediately to find her daughter.

"Thank you for telling me, sir!"

Although she still had questions she wanted to ask Su Xuan, after thinking about it, she gave up.

After all, she had no relationship with Su Xuan. Su Xuan answering her three questions had already given her a lot of face.

In her heart, she also had some sighs. Su Xuan was worthy of being an Immortal Master.

Although she didn't know how he did it, he seemed to have the ability to foresee the future. From his answering the two questions about Li Kai and her daughter, it could be seen.

Su Xuan gladly accepted Lady Hu’s thanks.

The two stayed in the study, looking at each other, both speechless.

Just at this moment, a sharp sword suddenly attacked, and the target was... Lady Hu.

Murderous intent rushed to her face.

Lady Hu couldn't help but be shocked, her hair standing on end.

Just as this sword was about to fall on Lady Hu,

a gust of wind blew, and suddenly, the body of the person holding the sword was swung to the other side, causing the sword to miss its target.

"Daring to commit murder in front of me, you really don't take me seriously."

Su Xuan’s tone was cold as he looked at the figure holding the sword who had come here.

"Also, at such a time, you don't go to save your life, but actually have the courage to come here, attempting to find the whereabouts of the treasure. Should I say you are worthy of being the former cold-blooded killer, the Three Wolves of Broken Hair? Truly wanting money but not life!"

The visitor was hideous, wearing a mask with half a bird’s beak, holding a sharp blade; it was Vulture of the Hundred Birds organization, and also the real murderer who killed Liu Yi.
