C1599 Duxiu's Important Person
When Lin Long left, the rest of them climbed up from the ground.
Looking at the severed arms on the ground, their faces were naturally unsightly.
"Who the hell is this guy? He can actually invite people from the assassination association to deal with us!" Someone said with an ugly expression.
"Maybe he really has some kind of powerful figure behind him." The other said the same.
As they spoke, they all looked towards Mo Jian and the person who had gone to the Du Residence with Mo Jian.
"Don't look at me like that, Young Master Du told us personally that Lin Li is just an ordinary person without any power behind him!" Mo Jian said with an ugly expression.
His eyes were blind and his hands were broken. He felt even more resentment than the others.
"That's right, did Young Master Du tell me personally." The person that went with him said the same.
"Could Young Master Du have lied to you?" Someone could not help but ask.
The person who went with Mo Jian immediately refuted, "How could Young Master Du not know?!"
But when he said that, he suddenly stopped, because he thought of something, and immediately looked at Mo Jian: "Senior Brother Mo Jian, Young Master Du seems to have also lost an arm!"
"What, Young Master Du also lost an arm?" Hearing his words, the surrounding people were all surprised.
"Yes, Young Master Du did lose an arm." Mo Jian also said.
"Young Master Du is the same as us, doesn't that mean that Young Master Du's arm was cut off by the assassination association?" The others couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.
If Du Haoran was injured in some other place, they could think of other ways, but he was injured like them, so they could only guess.
"Looks like it's true." Mo Jian nodded.
"If even Young Master Du is unable to deal with him, then wouldn't the few of us be giving him a beating?" The others could not help but look at each other in dismay.
"Motherf * cker, if I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have come out to deal with Lin Li." Soon after, some of them began to regret their actions.
The others did not say a word, Du Haoran's broken arm could only be like that, what could the rest of them do?
"If that's the case, then Young Master Du telling us like this, he's clearly trying to cheat us!" The person who went with Mo Jian could not help but curse silently.
"Go back." After sighing, Mo Jian said.
Then, dragging their injured hands, they walked back dejectedly.
As soon as they entered Xie Zhe's courtyard, everyone inside immediately looked towards them.
"Eh? Seniors, what happened to you?" Someone could not help but ask.
"Just now when we were leaving the city, we accidentally ran into a group of robbers. We got injured during the fierce battle with them, and they cut off one of our arms." Their faces turned ugly.
"How preposterous! He doesn't even put our Mo Residence in his eyes!" The people inside were immediately filled with righteous indignation.
"Tell Master to stand up for our fellow brothers!" Someone immediately answered.
"There's no need." Mo Jian said.
They had already decided that they did not want to deal with Lin Long anymore, so they naturally did not want Xie Zhe to pursue this matter.
"How can we do that!?" If they hurt you, it's the same as hurting us! " Someone insisted.
He couldn't help but insist, and someone even quickly told Xie Zhe. Xie Zhe quickly came over and asked them why they were all doing this.
Since they all spoke the same way, it meant that they had been injured by the robbers.
"Where did these robbers come from? Do you remember what they look like?" Xie Zhe still refused to obey, and refused to give in.
After all, Mo Jian and the others were his disciples. If he did not pursue the matter further, this elder would not have any face at all.
"They're all masked, and they don't speak. We don't even know what they look like." Mo Jian said gloomily.
"How dare he bully me, Xie Zhe! No way, I have to tell Law Enforcement Elder and let him handle this!" Xie Zhe said coldly.
Very quickly, he walked out. Obviously, he had gone to tell the Law Enforcement Elder.
During this entire process, Lin Long, who was standing outside, also heard their words, and couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
Because this meant that Mo Jian and the rest did not dare to do anything to him.
Over the next few days, the Mo Clan sent people to scout the area, but there were no bandits around, so how could they find any clues?
That was the end of the matter.
Two days later, a middle-aged man whose face somewhat resembled Du Meng's but seemed to be slightly older came to the Du Residence.
Seeing this person, the three men guarding the Du Family immediately greeted him respectfully, "Greetings, Elder Du."
Elder Du nodded his head and asked, "Is your Patriarch here?"
"Elder Du, if the Patriarch is here, please enter." One of the Du Clan disciples immediately led the way, and very quickly, he brought Elder Du to see Du Meng.
After the disciple left, Du Meng immediately said to Elder Du: "Brother, you've finally returned!"
This Elder Du was Du Meng's cousin Du Xiu.
"Du Meng, what's the matter? Why are you so anxious to see me?" Du Xiu frowned and asked.
"It's like this … someone cut off one of Haoran's arms!"
Du Meng had not finished speaking when he was already shocked, "Who is so bold as to actually dare to cut off Haoran's arm?"
"Someone hired someone from the assassination organization to kill him!" Du Meng said.
"Assassin organization? Those fellows are truly heaven defying, to think that they would even dare to deal with Haoran! " Du Xiu said coldly.
Seeing Du Xiu like that, Du Meng continued, "I heard that the boss of the assassination organization personally gave the order!"
"Assassin organization's boss?" Du Xiu frowned again.
"I heard that the boss is an elder of the Mo Clan. Do you know who he is?" Du Meng asked.
He thought that Du Xiu knew, but unexpectedly, Du Xiu also shook his head, "I don't know either."
"Could it be that the Great Master follows the order of the Patriarch?" Hearing Du Xiu's words, Du Meng could not help but exclaim, if it was the Patriarch, then he could only be a mute eating Huang Lian.
"Probably not." Du Meng shook his head, "If I were to make a move, they probably won't make things difficult for me."
"That's good." Du Meng could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Do you know who this is related to? Who asked for Haoran's arm to be cut off?" Du Xiu asked.
"Although there is no conclusive evidence, this matter should be related to a man called Lin Li. If you don't want to go directly to the assassination organization, you should find him and find the truth." Du Meng said.
"Lin Li, who is that?"
"It's a person who just entered Mo Shi City. It seems like he doesn't have any background, but Haoran seemed to have suffered because of him." Du Meng said.
"Where is he now?" Du Xiu asked.
"That person is now Elder Xie Zhe's disciple." Du Meng said.
"Xie Zhe?" Du Xiu was shocked again.
"Brother, don't worry, he is only Xie Zhe's new disciple. If you were to go get him, or go deal with him, Elder Xie Zhe would not trouble you." Du Meng said.
"That's good." Du Xiu nodded.
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Since that's the case, I will immediately head over to Xie Zhe's place to get his people!"
"Thank you, brother." Du Meng could not help but exclaim.
"Alright, then I'll be going. Bring him out and I'll bring him here." With that said, Du Xiu directly walked out.
Not long after, Du Xiu arrived at Xie Zhe's courtyard.
"Elder Du!" Seeing Du Xiu, the two disciples at the entrance said respectfully.
"Is Clan Elder Xie Zhe here?" Du Xiu asked.
"Our master is inside. Please follow me, Elder Xie Zhe." One of Xie Zhe's disciples brought Du Xiu in immediately.
Not long after, Du Xiu saw Xie Zhe.
"Elder Du, what wind brought you here?" Seeing Du Xiu, Xie Zhe could not help but laugh.
"Elder Xie, I've come for the sake of glory." Du Xiu went straight to the point.
"Du Haoran? What happened to him? " Xie Zhe asked with some doubt.
"According to Patriarch Du Meng, one of his arms was cut off by someone," Du Xiu said.
"What?" Hearing Du Xiu's words, Xie Zhe was naturally surprised. The first thing he thought of was Mo Jian and the others.
"I heard that this matter is related to your disciple Lin Li, so I wanted to ask for an explanation from you." Du Xiu said.
"About this …" Xie Zhe hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can let you two meet each other."
These words made Du Xiu frown, he was proposing to wait for Lin Long to leave.
Could it be that Xie Zhe was biased towards that brat? He had a bad premonition.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright."
"Then wait a moment, I'll immediately send someone to get him." Xie Zhe said.
Following that, the disciples outside the Gate of Life immediately called Lin Long over.
Not long after, Lin Long arrived at Xie Zhe's room, and upon seeing Du Xiu, he became somewhat suspicious, but immediately after, he noticed that Du Xiu was obviously hostile towards him.
"Lin Li, this person is also an elder of our Mo Clan, his name is Du Xiu." Xie Zhe introduced.
"Greetings, Elder Du." Lin Long replied respectfully.
"Elder Du, what do you want to know?" Xie Zhe immediately replied.
Du Xiu looked straight at Lin Long, then asked, "Lin Li, let me ask you, do you know about the matter of Du Haoran's arm being chopped off?"
"Du Haoran's arm was cut off, who did it?" Lin Long said with a face full of shock.
"I don't know who did it yet, but someone said you were involved in this!" Du Xiu said coldly.
"Elder Du, you are wrongly accused, how could I dare to cut off Du Haoran's arm?" Lin Long said.
At this time, Du Xiu suddenly moved, he suddenly grabbed towards Lin Long.
He could tell that Lin Long wasn't strong, so he was naturally confident in taking down Lin Long.
Who knew that at this time, Xie Zhe, who was at the side, would suddenly take action, his palm blocking right in front of Lin Long in the nick of time.
Seeing Xie Zhe make his move, Du Xiu could not help but frown: "Clan Elder Xie Zhe, I am just testing Lin Li, see if he has the strength to do so!"
"Elder Du, you're wrong, no matter who it is, this disciple of mine only has the strength of Level three martial artist, how can he deal with Du Haoran?" Xie Zhe said slowly.
"Elder Xie, there is no need to worry. I merely suspect him. If you want me to bring him away, I will naturally send him back." Du Xiu said indifferently.
"That won't do." Xie Zhe insisted.
"What's wrong? Elder Xie, you're so protective of him. Could it be that Elder Xie ordered him to do this?" Du Xiu frowned.
"Elder Du, isn't this the same as slandering people?" Xie Zhe's face turned cold, "Even if this disciple of mine has three heads and six arms, he still wouldn't dare to go against the Du Family alone!"
"In any case, no matter what, this child is still suspicious. I hope that Elder Xie will let me bring him away!" Du Xiu confronted him with equal harshness.
"Elder Du, since you insist, take out the evidence. If there is evidence, I will let you take it without saying anything. If there is no evidence, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Xie Zhe said coldly.
These words caused Du Xiu to frown even more. How could he have any evidence?
"Thank you elder, do you mean to go against me, Du Xiu?" Du Xiu sneered.
"Of course I wouldn't dare to go against you, but I need to find evidence in everything. How can I just casually let them go without any evidence?" Xie Zhe said.
"If that's the case, then we'll just ride the donkey and read the book!" With that said, Du Xiu immediately walked out, and even flung the door open when he left.
He was still a little afraid of the assassination association, so he didn't say anything.
"Thank you, Master." Lin Long could not help but thank Xie Zhe.
"Master took over Du Xiu for you, but tell me the truth, is Du Haoran's injury related to you?" Xie Zhe said while frowning.
"Of course it has nothing to do with this disciple. How could this disciple possibly injure Du Haoran?" Lin Long said.
He naturally could not understand why Xie Zhe would protect him like this. After all, Xie Zhe had never asked his assassination organization to explain anything.
"Mm, that's good." Xie Zhe nodded.
As Du Xiu did not have any evidence, he was naturally not afraid that Du Xiu would come find trouble with Law Enforcement Elder or the Patriarch.
"However, you must be careful in the future and not casually go out. If that Du Xiu catches you, he might just squat outside." Xie Zhe said again.
"Yes, disciple has remembered." Lin Long nodded.
"Just remember my words. You can leave now." Xie Zhe said.2
Lin Long immediately walked out.
After Lin Long left, a woman walked over from the back of the room. It was Xie Zhe's wife.
Xie Zhe originally did not want to say, but he still opened his mouth and said, "This young man's talent in Rune Seal Arts is astonishing, I do not want such a good seedling to be harmed by Du Xiu."
"His talent in Rune Seal Arts is astonishing, what do you mean by that?" Madam Xie asked, puzzled.
"You don't know, a few days ago, this child was only able to master the sand Curse Seal for a short period of time. Although the sand Curse Seal is easy to grasp, to be able to master it in such a short period of time is not something that an ordinary person can do. This means that he is proficient in it!" Xie Zhe said.
"Then, it could also have been something that he learned before." Mrs Xie.
"No." Xie Zhe shook his head, "He looked at his hand gesture, it is very unfamiliar, he has basically only touched the sand Curse Seal, and I think that even his laughing Curse Seal has only come in contact with it for a short while!"
"If that's the case, then his talent is truly astonishing!" Madame Xie couldn't help but sigh as well.
"Not only that, there's something else that surprises me even more." Xie Zhe said again.
"What's more surprising?" Madame Xie was surprised again.
She knew her husband's character very well. If he said it like that, then there must be something special about Lin Long.
