1596: Chapter 1589: Suspected of Patricide 1596: Chapter 1589: Suspected of Patricide “Let’s not talk about being guests; we still need to proceed to Shengyuan Prefecture and make contact with the Imperial Court as soon as possible,” Cheng Ziang waved his hand and said.
“I advise you all to stay for a while longer before deciding.
The martial world is currently in chaos.
The Wen Family and the Wu Family have clashed violently over you.
If you do not wish to encounter the troubles you faced before, it would be best to stay within the manor for so ti until the situation calms down,” Huayu Ting suggested.
Hearing this, Cheng Ziang fell silent.
If what Huayu Ting said was true, this would an that both the Wen Family and the Wu Family were aware of the Advance Team’s moves.
If they did not wait for the situation to stabilize before setting off, they might run into the sa kind of trouble as yesterday, which would delay their mission.
“I need to consult with the Saint about this matter before making a decision,” Cheng Ziang pondered aloud.
“Stop deceiving yourself; don’t think that I can’t see through you.
Actually, you can make the decision yourself, right?” Huayu Ting said with narrowed eyes.
“No, you are mistaken,” Cheng Ziang earnestly said, “The core of this mission is the Saint, not .
Indeed, I can make so decisions on my own, but the final authority lies with the Saint.
I am rely a representative.”
“I see…” Huayu Ting nodded in agreent.
“So, that’s all I have to ask about these matters.
Once I leave this room, let’s pretend that this conversation never happened,” Cheng Ziang said, turning around and ready to leave.
“Please wait a mont,” just then, Huayu Ting’s voice suddenly ca from behind him.
Cheng Ziang turned around and saw Huayu Ting’s expression hesitating.
After a mont of indecision, he slowly said, “I have a rather impolite request.”
“Go ahead, we may need your help later on, so as long as it’s within our capacity, we’ll try our best to assist you,” Cheng Ziang nodded and said.
“I…” Huayu Ting hesitated again, with his head lowered for a while, before finally raising it and slowly saying, “I would like to ask you to help bring Fei Yu and her child into the manor under your nas.”
“Fei Yu…” Hearing this request, Cheng Ziang paused for a mont and instinctively asked, “I rember that you are already the Patriarch; with your capability, you can’t bring them into the manor?”
“They need a justification, which you can provide for them,” Huayu Ting stated.
“This is no long-term solution…” Cheng Ziang fell silent for a mont, then spoke.
“Let’s just drag it out day by day, but regardless, leaving them outside is not a solution either, I can’t be at peace with it,” Huayu Ting sighed.
“Regarding the death of your son…” Cheng Ziang asked hesitantly.
“That’s beyond my area to answer, I hope the Manor Lord will refrain from delving further into the matter,” Huayu Ting’s face imdiately soured at the ntion of this subject.
“Alright, I can decide on this minor matter myself, and I agree,” Cheng Ziang nodded.
“Thank you, Manor Lord…” Huayu Ting expressed his gratitude with a respectful bow.
“You’re welco, please take good care of us,” after returning the bow, Cheng Ziang left the room.
After leaving the room, Cheng Ziang went to the living room, which had already been arranged quite comfortably.
After all, this was Fei Yu’s ho; she quickly got everything in order and began to cook to serve the mbers of the Advance Team.
Everyone else was busy with their own affairs, only Tangmo and Baiyue were chatting in the living room.
Since they were speaking in Tasta language and didn’t have to worry about being understood, their voices were loud enough that Cheng Ziang heard them as soon as he stepped out of the room.
“Ah, Ziang, co here,” noticing Cheng Ziang’s arrival, Tangmo waved at him and eagerly said.
“What is it?” Cheng Ziang approached the two and asked curiously.
“I’ve summarized our experiences from the past two days, and I feel that sothing is not quite right,” Tangmo said earnestly.
“Indeed, there are many things that don’t add up,” Cheng Ziang couldn’t help but sigh when he thought of Hun Jiansi.
“Why the sigh?
Is it about sothing related to Huayu Ting?” Tangmo asked, puzzled.
“Hmm, related to Huayu Ting…
What’s the matter?” Cheng Ziang asked, bewildered.
“About the recent troubles the Huayu Family has encountered, I feel there’s more to it than ets the eye,” Tangmo said.
Although she spoke in the Tasta language, she still unconsciously lowered her voice when she reached this point.
“Oh, do tell,” Cheng Ziang’s interest was imdiately piqued.
“Huayu Ting and Fei Yu have a total of four children, three sons and one daughter,” Tangmo said with a solemn expression.
“According to seniority, they are Yunyang Luodie,” she paused, then continued, “Among them, it has been confird that the eldest son, Huayu Yun, is dead.
Based on the intelligence we have, it’s very likely that Huayu Yun was killed by the father of Huayu Ting, his own grandfather Huayu Tong.”
“The grandfather killed his own grandson with his own hands?” Cheng Ziang asked with a look of astonishnt.
“Such noble families do not recognize half-breeds from the Demon Clan,” Baiyue analyzed calmly.
“Information obtained from Ziang shows that Huayu Ting’s father, the Patriarch of the Huayu Family, Huayu Tong, suddenly died a violent death two months ago, and Huayu Ting took over as the Patriarch.
A month later, Huayu Ting’s brother, Huayu Rong, also died mysteriously.
I think none of this is a coincidence,” Tangmo continued.
“What do you an?” Cheng Ziang, his frown deepening, was struck by a sudden realization.
“If the ti of Huayu Yun’s death matches the ti of Huayu Tong’s death, it would suggest that Huayu Ting has a major suspicion of committing the cri,” Baiyue interjected, analyzing with a serious face.
“It’s highly possible that Huayu Ting, knowing that his son was killed by his father’s hands, transferred his anger to his father and thus killed him.
As for Huayu Rong, I believe his death must be connected to this matter, hence he too fell victim to Huayu Ting,” Tangmo added.
“We’ll need evidence for that,” Cheng Ziang took a deep breath, sowhat breathlessly.
“Don’t forget,” Tangmo said seriously, “you said that Huayu Ting is a cultivation prodigy, a young man who has already reached the peak of the Jiedan Realm, just one step away from entering the Golden Core Realm.
He has the capability to do these things.”
“If it’s true, that’s just too ruthless,” Cheng Ziang couldn’t help but exclaim, “I didn’t expect such a refined person to be a fratricide and a patricide.”
“I can understand that,” Baiyue said earnestly, “I have noticed the way Huayu Ting looks at Fei Yu and the children.
That kind of gaze is not deceptive.
He truly treats Fei Yu as his wife and these children as his own flesh and blood, so his motive for parricide is plausible.”
“This is simply a family tragedy…” Cheng Ziang sighed deeply, emotively.
“Considering your interactions with him, what do you think of Huayu Ting?” asked Tangmo.
“I think he’s trustworthy,” Cheng Ziang said earnestly, “Huayu Ting always shows sincerity in his words.
I don’t think he is the kind of person who enjoys playing tricks and sches, at least he hasn’t pulled any stunts on us.”
“Hmm,” Tangmo nodded in agreent, then looked at him and said, “Anyway, whether the speculation is true or not, we still need to keep our distance from Huayu Ting.
From our initial encounter with him, his ntal state seems sowhat abnormal.”
“Paranoid,” Baiyue analyzed further, “perhaps because of the death of his child?”
“Yes, that’s a possibility,” Tangmo nodded in agreent.
“Neither Fei Yu nor Huayu Ting wishes to ntion the death of Huayu Yun, obviously, there is more to this than it seems,” Baiyue continued to analyze.
“Hmm, it would be better if we could understand more about it,” Tangmo said, sighing inadvertently.
“Speaking of which, Huayu Ting hopes to bring Fei Yu and the children into the Manor Lord’s residence under our nas,” Cheng Ziang ntioned after so thought.
Hearing Cheng Ziang’s words, Baiyue and Tangmo exchanged a knowing look, then both turned to face Cheng Ziang.
“Am I to understand that Huayu Ting has resolved the internal issues of the Huayu Family and is now able to openly bring Fei Yu and the children into the Manor to reunite?” Baiyue asked.
“Although Huayu Ting is the Patriarch, he still needs a justification.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to bring Fei Yu and her children into his ho,” Cheng Ziang explained.
