"After years of deep thought, I've recently come to a state of near-death."

9756324 (I suddenly had some inspiration on the 10th).

"But this inspiration... seems to come and go, flashing through my mind."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shou gasped in shock!

Too small!

It’s because I’m too small!

"really?!"

Zhao Shouyi's aged eyes suddenly gleamed with a sharp light.

Su Nan nodded.

Zhao Shou immediately looked at Huaiqing, Lin'an and the others, and said, "Su Nan really cannot leave with you today."

Say it.

Zhao Shou then pulled Su Nan aside and said in a deep voice, "Su Nan and I should be at Yunlu Academy!"

The two figures transformed into pure energy and vanished instantly.

……

News of Zhou Li's death at the Ministry of Justice quickly spread.

The Ministry of Justice is a vital institution of the imperial court, yet an assassin dared to commit murder inside its premises.

This is practically a provocation against the entire imperial court!

When Emperor Yuanjing learned of this, he was furious and ordered the Ministry of Justice to work with the night watchmen to investigate the case and make sure the murderer was caught.

When Zhou Xianping, the Vice Minister of Revenue, learned of his son's death, he was overcome with grief.

However, he did not submit a memorial to the emperor, but instead asked the Ministry of Justice and the night watchmen to find the murderer as soon as possible in court.

The two men with golden gongs arrived at the Ministry of Justice that same day.

Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou!

Both of them were martial artists at the fourth rank, possessing extremely high strength.

The fact that two night watchmen were dispatched to investigate the case at once shows how much importance they attached to it!

Minister Sun recounted in detail what had happened that day.

Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou immediately examined Zhou Li's body.

"The assassin killed Zhou Li with his sword intent."

Yang Yan stared at the corpse and said expressionlessly.

"This person's skill in swordsmanship is the best I have ever seen in my life."

"With a single sword strike, Zhou Li's body was cleaved in two, extinguishing all his life force, yet the corpse was not split in two."

"..."

Nangong Qianrou also examined Zhou Li's corpse, her expression very solemn.

Each of the major cultivation systems has very strong characteristics.

One can determine the assassin's training system and approximate skill level from the remaining traces on the corpse.

"You mean, the person who made the move is most likely a swordsman of the fourth rank?"

"But even a fourth-rank swordsman can kill someone by releasing sword energy from their body."

"I think this is more like a Taoist tactic!"

Nangong Qianrou shook her head, rejecting Yang Yan's opinion.

The reason why warriors are crude is because they don't have many fancy tricks up their sleeves.

Even a fourth-rank martial artist couldn't kill Zhou Li silently.

Moreover, the dean of Yunlu Academy was also present at the time.

If there really was an assassin present, he couldn't have been completely unaware.

"First, since the assassin did not kill at the Ministry of Justice, but rather from a distance, he is likely a powerful figure from the Daoist sect."

"Second, the assassin was actually in the yamen, but Dean Zhao did not sense him."

"Third, Dean Zhao sensed the assassin, but he didn't say anything and chose to protect him!"

Yang Yan quickly made a deduction.

There are only these three possibilities.

However, both of the latter possibilities need to be verified with Zhao Shou.

Although the night watchman wielded immense power, he was not qualified to interrogate the dean of Yunlu Academy.

Therefore, they had no chance to confirm the latter two possibilities!

"I heard that at the time, Su Nan made Zhou Li look up at the sky."

"Zhou Li was killed shortly afterward."

"you say……"

Yang Yan's eyes gleamed.

Nangong Qianrou looked suspicious and said, "You don't suspect that the person who made the move was Su Nan, do you?"

“He could never be a martial artist, otherwise even if he were a fourth-rank martial artist, his qi flow would have been detected by Miss Caiwei and the experts from the Ministry of Justice.”

A martial artist's aura is hard to conceal. If it really was Su Nan who made the move, then he would definitely be discovered!

Moreover.

Nangong Qianrou also didn't believe that the playboy would be a high-level cultivator.

This guy's body has probably been completely drained by the beauties of the brothel long ago!

“I just have a gut feeling…” Yang Yan said softly.

"Remember the two people who were killed outside the Xu residence? They were also killed silently and instantly, and the brothers patrolling nearby did not notice any movement."

"The victim was a servant of the Zhou family, and Su Nan happened to be nearby."

"This time, Zhou Li was also killed silently, and Su Nan happened to be there as well."

Is it really such a coincidence?

Nangong Qianrou fell silent after hearing Yang Yan's analysis.

Indeed... it's too much of a coincidence.

"So you mean that regardless of whether Su Nan was involved or not, it must be related to him?"

Nangong Qianrou, unusually, did not refute Yang Yan.

Immediately, Nangong Qianrou tentatively suggested, "Shall we go and ask Su Nan?"

Yang Yan glanced at Nangong Qianrou and said indifferently:

"Do you want what happened at the Ministry of Justice today to be repeated in the Night Watchman's Office?"

Nangong Qianrou immediately understood.

Today, Su Nan was arrested and taken to the Ministry of Justice, and as a result, a large number of people came to the Ministry of Justice.

The Eldest Princess, Princess Lin'an, Princess Pingyang, a disciple of the Imperial Observatory, the Dean of Yunlu Academy...

The thought of this scene gave Nangong Qianrou a headache.

Even the godfather probably couldn't withstand this onslaught!

"Then let's go back and report to our godfather as soon as possible."

Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou reached an agreement and quickly returned to the night watchman's office to inform Wei Yuan of the matter.

Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan's eyes showed some surprise.

"What a coincidence."

"What do you think?"

Wei Yuan already had a guess in his mind.

Once could be considered a coincidence, but twice is hard to say.

Southern Jiangsu is definitely not as simple as it seems!

Perhaps he's secretly hiding his true strength?

It seems I should invite this Immortal Su to Haoqi Tower for tea.

Chapter 24: Su Zhexian's poems are truly captivating! [Seeking flowers and monthly tickets]

In the blink of an eye, Su Nan and Dean Zhao Shou arrived at Qingyun Mountain.

However, they did not appear directly in the bamboo forest behind the mountain, but instead appeared at the entrance of the academy.

Qingyun Mountain has excellent scenery and a wide view, with lush greenery as far as the eye can see.

"Is what you just said true?"

Zhao Shou's eyes lit up, his old face beaming with excitement!

The conflict between the Imperial College and Yunlu Academy has lasted for more than two hundred years!

For more than two hundred years, Yunlu Academy was suppressed by that sage stele and could not raise its head.

Zhao Shou spent over a decade in the bamboo forest seeking enlightenment, hoping to break free from the seal.

Unfortunately, we gained nothing!

The people of southern Jiangsu are exceptionally talented; they are practically born seeds of Confucianism and Taoism!
