Chapter 1057 Too Many Rules in the World
At this point, the water spirit seemed to sympathize with his subst.i.tute and even let out a deep sigh.
“Women are all liars!” The water spirit did not forget to spit in Pan Jiao’s direction. “When no one was around, Fu Hanwen asked her why she did not wear the hairpin. She said she was afraid of losing it! She wasn’t afraid of that, but she gave it to someone else to show her love!
“When she was with Fu Hanwen, she smiled so beautifully. It was impossible to tell that she had moved on! Hmph!” The water spirit rolled his eyes.
Hearing this, Xie Qiao shook her head helplessly.
“Was what the murderer said true? No matter what, we should at least let that young lady defend herself, right?” Xie Qiao felt that what she had seen earlier should not be fake.
Even though they were far away, Pan Jiao’s smile was very infectious. At that moment, she only felt that the place where the two of them stayed was like the warm sun s.h.i.+ning down.
It was so warm and did not seem like it was fake.
Besides, although she did not look closely at Pan Jiao, she could vaguely tell that this young lady did not have any evil intentions.
“I have to thank you for reminding me of this.” Xie Qiao thanked the water spirit.
“You are too kind, Master.” After saying that, the water spirit floated away. Before it left, it was still humming a little tune. It could be seen how happy he was to regain his freedom.
This kind of water spirit was trapped for a very long time. After a long period of time, the resentment would usually be very heavy. It was the same for the water spirit just now. However, after having a subst.i.tute, the resentment would more or less be transferred to the next water spirit…
As a subst.i.tute, it would not be easy for Fu Hanwen to leave.
As a Taoist master, she could take Fu Hanwen away, but she would have to pay a higher price than the average ghoul.
Now that Fu Hanwen did not show up, Xie Qiao turned around and walked back.
After staying by the lake for a while, her face was cold from the cold wind, and the cloak on her body was even tighter.
Zhao Xuanjing, Xie Pinggang, and the others were already used to it, and they knew that she was not in good health. Seeing her working so hard, one felt sorry for her, and the other was even more impressed.
“Master, it’s so cold, and you still have to be out there. It seems that it’s not easy to be a Taoist master!” Xie Pinggang thought life was hard!
Look at this master. She made a teacher her master, and she had to follow him to learn some skills. Otherwise, others would think that she was wasting someone’s talent.
There were too many rules in this world!
Of course, Xie Pinggang’s idea was entirely because this person in front of him was the Master Mo that he respected.
If it was Xie Pinghuai…
That brat had already followed such a powerful master, yet he still did not make any progress. He should beat him to death so that he would not ruin Teacher Xiao’s reputation!
As for the weather…
Hmph, he would not freeze to death!
“Young Master Xie, I’ve just asked some questions. Do you want to hear them?” Xie Qiao raised her head to look at him. She felt that it was quite strenuous.
No wonder Sang You could not be bothered to look at him after raising his head for a while.
“Of course I want to hear them!” Xie Pinggang did not hesitate. “This case is the responsibility of our criminal division, but this victim was raised by his parents. If we can catch the murderer earlier and relieve their parents’ worries, of course I would be willing!”
“Okay, then please go and arrest Young Lady Pan’s cousin. He should be in the pavilion over there. However, the ghoul’s words cannot be used as evidence. It will take some effort to get the truth,” Xie Qiao said.
“Master, is this person a suspect or… has it been confirmed that he is the one who did it?” Xie Pinggang confirmed again.
