The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 95

The morning of the next day, when Su Yun and Luo Bing woke, they saw Qingdai and Chishao standing outside the cave. Watching their straightened figures, Su Yun and Luo Bing somewhat felt bad for them.

Hearing the sound from behind, Qingdai turned her head, "General, Madam, since you're awake, we can start setting out. I think miss already can't wait to see you."

Luo Bing and Su Yun looked to the two and nodded. Soon after, they left the cave together. Along the way, they didn't see any giant beasts appearing, rather they would occasionally see a few wild monkeys. And those monkeys also seemed to be following them, as if they were watching over them.

Unknown to what she saw, Qingdai who was walking in front, suddenly spoke to the people behind her, "General, Madam, in a moment, no matter what you see, don't feel alarmed."

Su Yun and Luo Bing nodded. They were veterans of the battlefields, what kind of things have they not seen. But before they could get very far, they saw what seemed to be an entire forest littered with disorderly corpses. And those corpses looked terrifying, missing head, missing limbs, and there were even some that had the internal organs clearly displayed.

Even Luo Bing, who was use to seeing the tragedies of war, couldn't help but to feel sick upon seeing this. She leaned against a tree trunk to the side and vomited right away.

These people's deaths were too bizarre and too suspicious. Could it be that these were the blood curdling cries they heard last night? But just what in the world could have made them like this?

If you were to say animal, wouldn't they just eat them directly? So then why did such a scene occur?

"General, Madam, if my guess is right, these people were probably the ones that wanted to harm you last night. This really is karma." Qingdai said with a disdained look, as if these people's lives, in her eyes, were like ants.

"Qingdai, just who do you think did this?" Luo Bing weakly spoke as she leaned onto Su Yun, "These people died too strangely."

Qingdai knew this was the animals' doing, moreover they were acting according to Qingyan's orders. But if they were to say this, Luo Bing and Su Yun would definitely think Qingyan was a monster. Thus, she could only shake her head at them, "I don't know. However, perhaps the heavens were watching."

"Luo Bing, how about we head back quickly." Su Yun was already accustomed to life and death. Even if these people were the ones that wanted to harm them, his heart was still soft. After all, they have families; it's just a pity that they've died here like this, not of interest to anyone.

Qingdai and Chishao continued on their way with Su Yun and Luo Bing. And outside the forest, they'd also prepared a horse carriage. At that moment, Su Qingyu who was leading the army also ran into the worn out couple outside the forest. After watching them get on the carriage, Qingdai and Chishao rode away on horseback.

"Mother, father, what happen to you?" Qingyu said as he ran up to support Luo Bing, who was on the verge of collapsing.

Luo Bing looked to Qingyu and shook her head, "Yu'er, mother is fine."

Su Yun didn't know how he should explain what happened in the forest to this son of his. However, after thinking for a moment, he still felt it was better to tell him what happened, in case someone with ulterior motives were to ask about it, they would be able to respond.

Su Yun pulled Su Qingyu to the side and explained to him everything that had happened in the forest last night. After hearing the news, discontent was written all over him. He even carried a cold air about him.

"Really is divine retribution." Su Qingyu coldly commented.

Su Yun also ordered Qingyu not to tell anyone else about this matter. He looked to Su Yun and nodded; this kind of thing he of course wouldn't tell others.

Furthermore, it's not like it was some good news.

Meanwhile, Yaochi who had rushed to the forest, also saw the corpses littered all over the ground. The strange appearance of these corpses attracted his interest. The deaths of these people weren't caused by man, and since there were no supernatural beings in this world, the only explanation that made sense was that this was probably all caused by animals.

"Brother, what did you fine?" Liushang, who'd also rushed over, looked to Yaochi and asked with a curious look. He looked to the corpses on ground and frowned, "These people died too bizarrely."

Yaochi turned around and met with Liushang's eyes, coldly replying, "If my guess is right, the cause of their deaths should be animals."

"Animals?" Liushang puzzlingly asked. "But if it were animals, what's the need to make it like this? This just looks too cruel, don't you think so too?"

Yaochi nodded, acknowledging his words, "But if they were following someone's orders, then it was possible for them to cause such a scene."

Hearing Yaochi say this, Liushang seemingly thought of Su Qingyan's smiling face at once. Could it be that that girl really is Qilian Qingyan's reincarnation?

"Brother, then what you mean to say is that Miss Su really is the Pavilion Master?" Liushang looked to Yaochi and asked, "But that is just too unbelievable."

Yaochi looked to Liushang and smirked, "Looks like during the Dragon Gate Banquet, we really need to see if that girl really is the master or not."

Liushang knew what Yaochi meant. Even if the security was more tight in the palace, to them it was only so so. Especially since they were also unrivaled masters in Jianghu. However, if they can really confirm Su Qingyan's identity at that time, then it meant that they can already approve of her. This way, even if he gave the Seven Colored Lingyun snake to Su Qingyan, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Yaochi walked deeper into the forest and saw some wolves along with their pups gnawing on human bones. And as if they could sense something approaching, when he looked to them again, they'd all looked up instantly at the two.

When Yaochi looked to them, he instantly took off his top. The aura of the Azure Dragon clinging to his back easily appeared before them. When Yaochi looked to them again, he had his top back on. "Last night, who instructed you to act?"

"It was master." The small wolf walked up to Yaochi and nuzzled against him. "Master is a gentle person."

Yaochi crouched down and stroked its head, "Thank you."

Yaochi turned around to look to Liushang, "As I'd expected, the operation last night was ordered by someone."

Liushang looked to Yaochi's retreating back and quickly followed after, "Brother, but it can't be certain that it was instructed by Su Qingyan."

Yaochi turned to him and nodded, "That's why, regarding this bit, we can only personally confirm at the Dragon Gate Banquet."

Su Qingyan, are you really the reincarnation of the Pavilion Master?
