Chapter Forty-two Another Idiot
"So that person is called Xu Qi, judging from the name, there should be Xu Liu, Xu Wu and so on. This guy must be one of them." Qin Yong looked at Xu Liu, a thought flashed through his mind, but his face showed a puzzled expression, "Who is Xu Qi?"
"Qin Yong, don't pretend to be stupid. Yesterday Xu Qi went after you, how could you possibly not have seen him!" Xu Liu shouted.
"Chase me? I don't even know any Xu Qi, what's the point of chasing me?" Qin Yong sneered in his heart, but his expression was very innocent.
"Hmph, we just met yesterday and now you're saying you don't recognize me?" Xu Liu was almost at his wit's end, his hand resting on the hilt of his long sword at his waist, as if he was about to draw it out and attack at any moment.
Qin Yong saw the situation but was not afraid at all. He first pretended to think carefully, then clapped his hands and said: "So you are Yun Shaoyang's bodyguard, that means Xu Qi is too? But I really haven't seen the Xu Qi you mentioned, yesterday after I left, I went home with my sister and didn't meet anyone."
"Is what you said true?" Xu Liu also hesitated at this time.
Originally, Xu Liu thought that the death of Xu Qi was definitely related to Qin Yong, but now it seems that Qin Yong has been normal from start to finish, without any flaws. Moreover, the person who killed Xu Qi is obviously an expert, which does not match Qin Yong at all. Although it is possible that Qin Yong had hired a helper, how could he have known in advance that they would encounter them? Furthermore, Qin Yong is just a miscellaneous disciple of the Yunhai Sect and is not valued by his own family, so how could he have such a powerful helper?
Xu Liu had also thought of Liu Yan, but as soon as the idea came up, he immediately denied it. The fact that Liu Yan's token would be given to a miscellaneous disciple was already unthinkable. With Liu Yan's personality, it was not easy to get to this point, how could she let someone protect Qin Yong, unless she had taken a liking to him, otherwise there was no reason to think of it. Would Liu Yan take a liking to Qin Yong? This idea, Xu Liu hadn't even thought about it, Liu Yan was such an extraordinary and elegant person, how could she possibly take notice of someone as insignificant as Qin Yong.
"Of course it's true, if you don't believe me, you can go ask around. Yesterday, I was on my way home with my sister, and many people saw us along the way. I can accompany you to ask them, and then my words will be proven." Qin Yong said indignantly, his expression both innocent and angry.
"Could Xu Qi's death really have nothing to do with Qin Yong?" Xu Liu was now truly shaken, and the thought that it might indeed have nothing to do with Qin Yong had already taken root in his mind. Otherwise, Qin Yong wouldn't be able to say such absolute words.
"However, even if it wasn't Qin Yong's doing, Xu Qi was still the reason for going to kill Qin Yong and left alone. Xu Qi's death is something Qin Yong cannot shirk responsibility for." Xu Liu's heart burned with hatred, and even if he had nothing to do with Qin Yong, he didn't plan on letting him off.
Qin Yong was originally the person that Yun Shao Yang wanted to kill, and Xu Liu wanted to complete this unfinished task for Xu Qi. And if it wasn't because of chasing Qin Yong, would Xu Qi have let someone get away alone? Xu Liu believed that if he were with Xu Qi together, relying on their tacit understanding and cooperation, even a strong master at the first level of Xuan Wu realm might not be able to kill them.
"Hmph, I, Qin Yong, am open and aboveboard. If Xu Qi's death really had something to do with me, would I not dare admit it? Since you don't want to believe me, then let's go together again, but afterwards I demand that you must apologize to me, otherwise I will definitely go to Yun Shao Yang's face and ask him how he teaches you all." Qin Yong shouted angrily at this time.
"What a fool, thinking that just because he has Miss Liu Yan's token, he can be on an equal footing with Young Master Shao Yang." Xu Liu sneered inwardly, looking at Qin Yong's behavior, and felt pitiful. People of such lowly birth thought that by entering the Yunhai Sect and getting to know some big shot, they could really become someone, but in reality, they were still utterly insignificant.
"It's just as well, Qin Yong also has a responsibility for Xu Qi's death. Since we can't get any information about the killer from him, let's just behead him and use his death to comfort Xu Qi's spirit in heaven." Xu Liu thought to himself, his expression suddenly turning stern. He said in a loud voice: "Alright, since you say so, I'll follow you on this trip. If Xu Qi's death is related to you, even the Emperor won't be able to save you. But if it's really as you say and you have nothing to do with it, then I, Xu Liu, will definitely apologize to you and make amends. From now on, whenever I see you, I'll immediately turn around and avoid you."
"Another idiot!" Qin Yong sneered, not believing Xu Liu's words at all.
Just as Qin Yong could say such bold and powerful words with a loud voice, without any guilt or shame, because his conviction was unshakeable. The person he killed had wanted to kill him, and dying at his hands was not something to be blamed on others. Now Xu Liu also wants to kill him, but Qin Yong is unwilling to fight him here, so deceiving him once would be the best approach.
As long as Xu Liu dared to follow, Qin Yong would definitely lead him to a place where he could take action. At that time, he would use the momentum of thunder and lightning, activate the Air Transport Seal directly, and blast Xu Liu to death. This Xu Liu was just like Xu Qi, with cultivation and identity being almost identical, even if their air transport wasn't consistent, it wouldn't be too far off, definitely a 250-air-transport goods.
Xu Liu's words were the same as Qin Yong's, only sounding good but with other intentions in his heart. Qin Yong wanted to lure Xu Liu into a secluded place and kill him, and Xu Liu was thinking the same way. If Qin Yong was the murderer or an accomplice of Xu Qi's death, Xu Liu would have taken action directly, but now he didn't think so, therefore he couldn't take open action, only could do it in secret.
Two men with different thoughts, but the same goal, without any discussion or expression, yet they started acting in perfect harmony. Qin Yong took Xu Liu along yesterday's route, asking vendors on the side of the road, and only a few people remembered Qin Yong, but occasionally one or two recognized him.
Xu Liu followed Qin Yong, listening to the situation, and had already thoroughly believed that Qin Yong was not related to Xu Qi's death. However, he did not reduce his murderous intent towards Qin Yong in the slightest. At this time, Xu Liu also felt that Qin Yong's walking route was getting more and more remote, and his instincts told him that something was off, but he quickly suppressed it.
Xu Liu still underestimated Qin Yong, thinking that Qin Yong's strength was not enough to be a threat, and had nothing to do with the murderer who killed Xu Qi. He didn't need to worry at all. Today he came to find Qin Yong, and even met him on the street, which was an extreme coincidence. Qin Yong couldn't have predicted this early and set up an ambush, which was even more unpredictable than yesterday when Xu Qi chased and killed him. Xu Liu put his mind at ease and instead looked forward to Qin Yong taking him to a truly remote place, where he could make his move and kill Qin Yong with one blow.
Things are also developing in the direction Xu Liu expected, Qin Yong brought Xu Qi to a secluded alley, where there is no one else. Xu Liu's killing intent rose, and he was about to take action, but was stopped by Qin Yong's sudden change of tone, and the words that came out stunned him.
"This isn't the place I passed by yesterday, but Xu Qi was killed in a similar alley, pierced through the throat with my sword energy and died with one hit." Qin Yong changed his tone from before, saying coldly.
