Midnight! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Ning Family’s ancestral hall.

"Master Tong!"

A weak voice drifted into the ancestral hall.

Shen Tong, who was cultivating, slowly opened his eyes upon hearing this familiar voice, "What’s the matter?"

"Jiang Yudao from Dark Moon sent a message, it’s about Young Master Shen Xuan’s cause of death. He hinted that it might not have been Hidden Kill."

Upon hearing this, Shen Tong’s eyes widened abruptly.

His heart ached intensely.

"Xuan’Er!"

Shen Tong’s eyes turned bloodthirsty in an instant; he had always felt there was something unusual about Shen Xuan’s death.

However, after the Hall Master of Star Hall’s calculations, he was told it was Hidden Kill’s doing.

Now Dark Moon is telling him it wasn’t Hidden Kill, which corroborates his suspicions.

"Where is he?"

"In the Central Region of the Imperial City, at Dark Moon."

Upon hearing this, Shen Tong could no longer sit still. He directly left the family ancestral hall and ascended into the air.

"Hmm?"

Shen Feng frowned.

"So late, where is he going?"

"Could it be Dark Moon!?"

A bad feeling rose in his heart.

"No way!"

He too couldn’t sit still. In such situations now, no contact should be made with Dark Moon.

Then he took out a Communication Spirit Talisman, "Big brother, Shen Tong has left the family."

...

In the night sky, Shen Tong flew rapidly and soon arrived at Dark Moon.

"Phew—"

"I hope you’re not deceiving this old man, otherwise..."

Originally, he was about to let go of Shen Xuan’s death; he himself thought he had let go.

But now... he realized, he was wrong!

In fact, he had never let go, just numbing himself.

Because Hidden Kill was too powerful, he was helpless.

Now... it wasn’t Hidden Kill’s doing.

"Father will surely avenge you."

The resolve for revenge was incredibly firm at this moment.

He then immediately walked towards Dark Moon.

"Brother Shen, you came a bit late, my tea has already cooled."

At this time, Jiang Yudao sat there, looking at Shen Tong, who just stepped into Dark Moon, with a smile on his face.

"Being late isn’t important; what’s important is that you didn’t deceive me."

"Otherwise, this old man will make Dark Moon suffer even more!"

In that instant he entered, Shen Tong was staring at him intently.

"Sit!"

Jiang Yudao gestured with one hand.

Shen Tong came over and sat down opposite him, immediately asking, "Who is it?"

"There’s a show!"

Seeing his demeanor, Jiang Yudao knew the matter was settled, and then he spoke softly, "Prince Xuan of Molan Mansion!"

"Evidence!"

Shen Tong said coldly.

Although he wanted revenge, he hadn’t lost his head; a mere word wouldn’t convince him.

Even though he had stayed in the family’s ancestral hall, he still knew about significant events happening outside.

All of Dark Moon in Molan Mansion was sealed, though it was done by the Three Judicial Departments, it was definitely linked to Prince Xuan.

Now he mentioned that Xuan’Er’s death was by this Prince Xuan.

Without ample evidence, if he was used as a scapegoat, then don’t blame him for being unkind.

"Back then, Shen Xuan should have had a conflict with Prince Xuan, and later, he went to Dark Moon secretly to inquire about Prince Xuan’s background, as well as Southern King’s dealings with the Ning Family."

"However, Ye Jinghong stopped him."

"After they left, this Prince Xuan also came to Dark Moon and learned about this matter."

"So I speculate that Shen Xuan’s death must be linked to Prince Xuan!"

"Is there more?"

Shen Tong’s brows furrowed, this was just speculation, lacking substantial evidence.

Prince Xuan is the ruler of a mansion; even he couldn’t act rashly, much less considering his close ties with His Highness Qin Ying.

Behind him is the Shen Family; even if he wanted revenge, he couldn’t be reckless.

If the family were implicated, Shen Chong wouldn’t spare him.

"Is this not enough?"

Jiang Yudao retorted.

"Hmph!"

Shen Tong snorted coldly, "If that’s all, this old man will take his leave."

He directly got up to leave.

However, just as he reached Dark Moon’s entrance, Jiang Yudao spoke again, "Actually, you can ask Ye Jinghong, I think he should know something."

In a flash, the leg Shen Tong was stepping out with paused in mid-air, "If not, Dark Moon will wait for this old man’s wrath."

He then left Dark Moon.

"Hehe!"

Jiang Yudao chuckled lightly, "You will go."

...

Jiang Yudao guessed right, Shen Tong did not return to the Shen Family, but headed directly for Molan Mansion.

Even though the city gates were closed at midnight, he couldn’t wait and took the secret passage.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, he needed to go personally and ask clearly.

If it really was that Prince Xuan, he wouldn’t let him go.

But at the entrance of the passage, he was intercepted by Shen Chong.

"Where are you going?"

"And using this path!"

Shen Chong looked at him, his expression serious. Leaving the Shen Family at midnight and now leaving the Imperial City, it was clearly a major matter.

"Big brother, I want to investigate Xuan’Er’s cause of death!"

Hearing this, Shen Chong frowned in confusion, "Wasn’t Xuan’Er killed by Hidden Kill?"

"Didn’t the Hall Master of Star Hall calculate this at the time?"

"It’s uncertain, so I need to investigate clearly."

"Impossible!"

Shen Chong immediately denied, this was the prediction of the Hall Master.

He had never been wrong.

"Dark Moon’s current situation makes it inadvisable to have much entanglement with them."

That’s precisely why Shen Chong was there waiting for him.

Dark Moon’s current situation was dire. Molan Mansion had previously been sealed, and today, news spread that the Three Judicial Departments of Jiuyue Mansion had also begun to act.

This was not a good omen.

It was very likely the Three Judicial Departments were targeting Dark Moon, but why?

This was something he couldn’t comprehend!

Zhan Tian, that old monster, never cared about these matters unless you disturbed Great Yu; someone like him wouldn’t even glance at you.

But if you caused trouble, he’d choose to kill three thousand wrongly than let one go.
