Whenever he rembered Gongsun Xing’s expression at that mont, he felt deeply guilty.
Gongsun Xing was usually a cold and distant person.
There were very few things he truly cared about, or rather, very few things he truly valued.
His father’s remains were one of the rare things that could affect his emotions.
Gongsun Xing nodded, but he did not bla Yue Mingxuan.
Things had already turned out this way and he had no power to change it.
The dead were already gone and it was better to let them rest in peace
Yue Mingxuan decided that after returning to Silver Needle Sect, he would arrange for Gongsun Xing’s father to be buried.
After all, he had been the forr sect master and the funeral could not be too simple.
As for the Never-lt Ice that had been used to preserve Gongsun Xing’s father’s body, it should be buried together with him.
However, Yue Mingxuan never expected that after returning to Silver Needle Sect, the situation would be like this... The body of Gongsun Xing’s father was gone.
They searched everywhere, but there was no trace of it.
Yue Mingxuan was completely stunned.
In all his years, he had seen many kinds of theft, but he had never seen anyone steal a corpse.
Thinking about the corpse poison that had appeared in Huohua City in recent days, a terrifying idea ford in his mind: could it be that soone had stolen Gongsun Xing’s father’s body?
This matter definitely needed a thorough investigation.
At that mont, he had no mood for celebration at all.
He only wanted to uncover the truth.
After all, Gongsun Xing’s father had been the forr valley master of Silver Needle Sect.
If he could not rest in peace, it would be a terrible ending.
The main question was who would steal a corpse?
And not just the body, but even the coffin was taken.
What kind of hatred would drive soone to do sothing like this?
Moreover, in this era, people were extrely cautious and respectful when it ca to death.
Unless they were grave robbers like those who specialized in tomb raiding, no one would have the interest to dig up the dead.
So where had Gongsun Xing’s father gone?
Surely, he could not have gotten up and walked away on his own.
Could he have turned into a zombie?
Yue Mingxuan gave a small laugh and dismissed the idea.
Things like zombies could not exist, unless they were being controlled by soone.
Controlled by soone?
Yue Mingxuan suddenly thought of a possibility. But could it really be like that?
He did not know.
He had never tried to imagine people being so evil, but anything was possible.
"I will find him," Yue Mingxuan said as he clenching his fist.
Seeing his determined expression, Gongsun Xing said, "My father has been dead for many years. Everything had been peaceful before, yet now soone has stolen his body. I believe this matter is definitely not ordinary."
"That’s right. But I don’t know who did it," Yue Mingxuan said with a bitter smile.
This matter would be very difficult to investigate, but he had a faint suspicion that these events might be connected.
Why was it Gongsun Xing’s father’s body that was stolen?
Why did the epidemic break out at this exact ti?
If Yue Mingxuan had not used penicillium, Huohua City might have fallen into great chaos.
He could feel that this matter was far from simple.
"Silver Needle Sect is in Xieshang Kingdom. It is completely independent and not controlled by any prince, right?" Yue Mingxuan asked Gongsun Xing again to confirm.
"In principle, that should be the case," Gongsun Xing replied, but he did not dare to speak too firmly.
A place like Silver Needle Sect ca entirely from the common people.
However, no one could guarantee that it was truly independent and not influenced by any power.
So for a mont, Gongsun Xing hesitated to say more.
"I think this matter might have been done by soone from the royal family," Yue Mingxuan said.
Thinking about Shang Qinghua’s strange behavior these past few days and how quickly he moved to search for the source of the corpse poison, Yue Mingxuan felt suspicious.
"You an—"
"Shang Qinghua is not the kind of person who would do this. So I think it might have been done by Shang Zefeng. As for Shang Yuchen, he’s a fool and probably doesn’t have that kind of sche."
Yue Mingxuan fell silent for a mont before getting up to find Shang Qinghua.
In the past, Shang Qinghua had always sneaked into his residence.
This ti, it was the opposite.
Yue Mingxuan quietly made his way to Shang Qinghua’s residence.
It had to be said that princes in Xieshang Kingdom were treated very well; the room looked extrely luxurious.
He was not very familiar with the layout, so he observed carefully along the way and searched for quite so ti before finding what he thought was Shang Qinghua’s room.
In truth, all the princes’ rooms looked similar, so he was not entirely sure whose room he had entered.
"How did things go this ti?"
Hearing a voice, Yue Mingxuan quickly covered his mouth and hid himself, making sure not to make any sound as he quietly looked over.
The person in front of him looked nothing like Shang Qinghua.
Shang Qinghua’s face was striking, almost otherworldly, while this man’s appearance was far more ordinary at best, sowhat delicate and even that might be an overstatent.
Moreover, this man’s eyes were extrely sinister, giving off a dangerous and scheming aura.
Yue Mingxuan guessed that this must be Shang Qinghua’s second brother, Shang Zefeng.
After all, he knew that Shang Qinghua’s eldest brother, Shang Yuchen, was a fool.
A fool could not possibly have such a look in his eyes.
"We have already bribed the third and fourth elders of Silver Needle Sect. We stole Gongsun Long’s body and threw it into a well. Even though Shang Qinghua managed to cure the epidemic, the well water has been contaminated. Before long, the epidemic will break out again. This is sothing that cannot be completely resolved."
