Chapter Eleven - Startled by Startling Doubts Arise, Mistakenly Mistaken Heroes Shed Tears
In the previous chapter, the "Washing Hands" ceremony gathered heroes, yet the host, Liu Xifeng, died in the hall. Who could have been so cruel?
The elder in black in the hall was accused, shouted, "You... how dare you!" His eyes spewing flames, glaring at the woman in yellow.
Liu Xifeng's son and daughter stood upright, saying, "Senior Tie, please forgive us, please allow an inspection."
The woman in yellow crossed her arms and sneered, "Be careful, this 'Rathead Snaketail' is best at hiding things."
The elder's name was "Beehead Dragontail," surname Tie, given name Zhengwai. Because he practiced a martial art that allowed him to hide like a bee and strike like a dragon's tail, he earned this nickname. Everyone wondered: what feud exists between the two that they would use Liu's death as a pretext for bickering?
"Little child, think carefully, my body is not something you can inspect at will," Tie Zhengwai said, only to be retorted by the woman, "If you are innocent, why are you so hesitant?"
Tie Zhengwai understood this reasoning but couldn't swallow his pride. He felt guilty towards the woman and only dared to vent his anger on others. It turns out he had a past entanglement with her mother, which will not be elaborated here.
Liu Xuan bowed to the Poison Doctor and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Granny Doctor."
Buyi whispered to Song Yao, "Tower Leader, these two are bickering, how could he be the culprit? Would it be a waste of time." Song Yao agreed but shook his head at him. As the leader of Guanzhong Windcloud Tower, he thought it inappropriate to criticize others.
Although Buyi's voice was low, Tie Zhengwai heard it, feeling embarrassed. In an instant, Tie Zhengwai appeared beside Buyi. Such agility, even Song Yao couldn't help but exclaim, "Excellent!"
