Chapter 274 Shi Suo and Shi Mei were murdered together
Shi Mei's marriage to the fifth prince ended with Shi Mei's death.
The Shi family also began to secretly search for the murderer who killed Shi Mei.
Because they had a conflict with the Mo family not long ago, Shi Zhongkui quickly became suspicious of the Mo family.
However, Shi Mei died on New Year's Eve. He bribed a demon slave who served in the Mo family and got the news that no one in the Mo family went out that day. When Shi Mei died, the Mo family was happily having a New Year's Eve dinner.
This is enough to dispel the Mo family's suspicion, but I don't know what Shi Zhongkui thinks.
When Pavilion Master Qin came to the Shi family to question them, he still directed suspicion to the Mo family.
Shi Zhongkui seemed to be certain that Shi Mei was killed by the Mo family. Pavilion Master Qin stared at him for a long time without saying a word.
The spiritual medicines needed to nourish the demon with a charming body were all prepared by the Shi family, and neither the Holy Lord nor Pavilion Master Qin suffered any losses.
But after forty years of anticipation, no one would be happy if something went wrong just when success was imminent.
Pavilion Master Qin sat on a chair, looking at Shi Zhongkui who was standing in front of him with his head bent, cold sweat pouring down his face.
"It's been three days since Shi Mei's death, and you've just told me what your Shi family did during these three days?
Until now it is still just a suspicion, and even the suspicion is directed at the Mo family.
Why did the Mo family kill Shi Mei?
Unless they knew that Shi Mei was about to become a demon with a charming body.
If this is true, do you think your Shi family can still live well?
Shi Zhongkui, I used to think you had some brains, but now I understand, you have no brains at all!
Why did the murderer only kill Shi Mei?
Have you ever thought about who would benefit from killing Shi Mei?"
Shi Zhongkui was sweating profusely at the question asked by Pavilion Master Qin, and his already unclear mind became even more confused like a paste.
He had no idea who would benefit from killing Shi Mei. After thinking about it, he gave an answer that made Pavilion Master Qin couldn't help laughing.
"Stone lock."
Shi Zhongkui actually mentioned Shisuo's name and gave a reason, "Killing Mei'er will benefit Shisuo. Last time, Pavilion Master, you said that you would not allow Shisuo to marry in place of someone else, and you also said that you would not let me touch Shisuo.
I didn't tell Shi Suo about this, I just used an excuse. After Shi Mei got married, Shi Suo was the only young lady in the Shi family who was close to me.
I want to adopt Shisuo and treat her well according to your wishes.
She must have wanted to completely replace Mei'er, so she killed Mei'er.
The Fifth Prince's marriage is not a good one in the eyes of Mei'er and me, but it is a good one for Shisuo.
She certainly didn't want to suffer in the Shi family, so she killed Mei'er in an attempt to take her place."
Shi Zhongkui's words made perfect sense, and Pavilion Master Qin didn't know whether he was angry or what, but he laughed a few times.
Shi Zhongkui felt uneasy while laughing and swallowed back the words he hadn't said yet.
Pavilion Master Qin had a vague feeling that the secret of Shi Mei's demonic body had been exposed. Originally, because of Shi Suo, he had no intention of giving up on the Shi family.
But seeing Shi Zhongkui's stupid look, Pavilion Master Qin felt that it was time to give up the Shi family.
We cannot allow the Shi family to influence the Holy Lord’s plan.
Anyway, the Holy Lord's requirement is that most of the Shi family members must be alive, but he did not say that the Shi family must be involved.
Pavilion Master Qin couldn't say this in front of Shi Zhongkui, and he was afraid that Shi Zhongkui would become desperate, so Pavilion Master Qin controlled his emotions.
Still speaking in a calm and dignified tone, he said to Shi Zhongkui, "The person who killed Shi Mei could not possibly be Shi Suo. I want to accept Shi Suo as my apprentice, but she still despises the status of the Fifth Prince's Consort.
She has been with Shi Mei for so many years, do you think she still envies Shi Mei?
It is very likely that the fact that your Shi family raised a demon with a charming body was exposed, so you killed Shi Mei.
There are only a few people who can sneak into your Shi family and kill people.
What you should worry about now is not the Mo family, but whether this person will report this to the Demon King.
The fact that the demon of the charmed body has not been developed is just a small matter and has only a little impact on the Holy Lord's plan. But if this matter is known by the Demon King, not only will the Holy Lord and I be affected, I am afraid that no one in your Shi family will survive.
I advise you to dispose of Shi Mei's body and her used things as soon as possible.
I won't be coming to the Shi family again for a while, and I'll take Shisuo away today."
Pavilion Master Qin stood up and, as usual, wanted to leave without waiting for Shi Zhongkui to speak.
But Shi Zhongkui, who always agreed, acted out of character today and did not give way.
Instead, he lowered his head and stammered, "Shi Mei just died, and the mansion is going to hold a funeral. Shi Suo had always been by Shi Mei's side, and if he suddenly disappeared, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. Otherwise, let her stay in the Shi family.
I think you are worrying too much, Pavilion Master. It is impossible for anyone to know about the Demon of Charm.
Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell the devil.
Otherwise, our Shi family would have been wiped out.
Our Shi family's devotion to the Holy Lord is evident to all, and we are truly loyal. I hope Pavilion Master Qin will consider this carefully and not take the stone lock away."
Shi Zhongkui finished speaking while suppressing his fear, his back almost soaked with cold sweat.
He vaguely felt that Pavilion Master Qin was going to give up the Shi family.
He had no choice but to express his loyalty and try to keep the stone lock.
Shi Zhongkui could see that Shi Suo seemed to be somewhat important to Pavilion Master Qin, even more important than Shi Mei and the Shi family in the past.
In Shi Zhongkui's mind now, leaving the stone lock is equivalent to leaving Pavilion Master Qin behind.
“Humph, how come you don’t know that the Demon King is using your Shi family as bait?
Your Shi family and I are in the same boat. If you find me, or even the Holy Lord, from your Shi family, do you think you can still survive?
As long as your Shi family doesn't reveal its true identity, nothing will happen.
Don't question my decision. Just tell everyone that Shi Suo and Shi Mei were killed together.
From now on, Shi Suo will no longer be a member of your Shi family, but my disciple. Do you understand?"
Pavilion Master Qin had used up all his patience to be able to talk to Shi Zhongkui so nicely. He released his powerful aura and pressed Shi Zhongkui to the ground.
No matter what Shi Zhongkui thought, he left the study and went straight to Shisuo's yard.
Shisuo was dressed in black and practicing sword alone in the yard.
His face was stern, but when he saw Pavilion Master Qin walk in, he immediately suppressed his anger, lowered his head, put away his sword and stood still.
She didn't know how to address Pavilion Master Qin, and she had never seen Pavilion Master Qin's face.
But she was not as stupid as Shi Zhongkui. She could sense that Pavilion Master Qin's aura was very dangerous and she could not afford to provoke him.
Moreover, she could tell from his figure and aura that Pavilion Master Qin was the man in black who came to the Shi family every month, and he was also the one who told the Shi family the method of cultivating the demonic body!
"Shi Zhongkui and the Shi family are working for the person in front of them!"
Shisuo was extremely confident.
Pavilion Master Qin wore a smile he had never shown to Shi Zhongkui before and teleported to Shi Suo's side. "Would you like to be my disciple?"
Pavilion Master Qin's face was full of determination, and his right hand had already stretched out towards the stone lock.
Shisuo seemed to have not expected that Pavilion Master Qin wanted to accept her as his disciple. She looked up at Pavilion Master Qin with surprise.
She was thinking a lot, but her face didn't show it at all.
He only asked quietly, "Can I refuse?"
