Chapter 135 Inquiring about Ice Flakes
"This is the Jade Bone Technique!"
Fang Duobing watched Yu Louchun's series of actions and asked her questions out of curiosity.
"Young Master Fang is so learned and talented, I have even heard of this humble life-saving skill of mine."
"Jade Bone Skill is impervious to swords and spears; it is a hard skill comparable to the Golden Bell Cover."
"I am deeply grateful for your presence at my hasty invitation."
"Since it was done in such a hurry, there must be some urgent matter."
“I do have a secret to hide. I ask you two to tell me who killed my dear friend Jin Mantang.”
Yu Louchun didn't stand on ceremony with the two of them and went straight to the point.
Upon hearing Yu Louchun mention Jin Mantang, their suspicions were confirmed.
"So that's why you asked us to come here. Mr. Yu, are you and Jin Mantang on good terms?"
Whether they visit each other frequently depends on how good their relationship is.
“This Jinyu Tower is the one I built for Brother Jin. I invite him every year when the mountains are ablaze with red leaves. Brother Jin and I are close friends who can talk about anything.”
"The murderer has been caught. Mr. Yu can go to Baichuan Academy to inquire. Why bother coming to us?"
“Brother Jin is a cautious and prudent man, and he wouldn’t be harmed by a greedy thief. I know there’s more to this than meets the eye. Since you two were present at the time, could you tell me exactly what happened?”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, there's really no need to overthink it. The story behind this is completely innocent."
There's more to this than meets the eye, and Li Lianhua doesn't believe Yu Louchun hasn't investigated.
"Do you two not believe in my friendship with Brother Jin?"
Yu Louchun: I sincerely invited these two to Manshanhong, so why don't they tell me the truth?
"How could that be, Master Yu? You are overthinking it. It's just that when the murderer killed, he really only wanted the head of Bolan."
"Looks like I'm overthinking it."
"However, something strange happened after the murder, but I don't know if I should talk about it."
Li Lianhua hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
"What strange thing is it? Tell me without hesitation."
"Back at Yuanbao Manor, a treasure was lost. It seems this treasure was placed together with the head of the Bolan man. Hey, Fang Duobing, you saw it too, didn't you?"
"Of course, that treasure is as thin as a cicada's wing, crystal clear, and even more like a..."
"Bingpian?"
Yu Louchun continued.
Upon hearing Yu Louchun's words, Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing immediately understood that Yu Louchun knew about borneol.
"To me, it looks more like a jade bamboo leaf. How come you've seen it before, Mr. Jade?"
"These are all just guesses. Do you know who the person who stole the treasure is?"
Having her thoughts exposed, Yu Louchun quickly tried to cover them up and changed the subject.
"There are no clues. Even though the leader of the Golden Kite Alliance, Di Feisheng, was present, he still couldn't snatch it. However, our Baichuan Academy suspects that it was someone from his clan who stole the treasure. Mr. Yu, do you know who he is?"
"Brother Jin isn't from the Central Plains? This is the first time I've heard that."
Yu Louchun feigning ignorance is not something that can be said lightly.
"That must be a misunderstanding. I thought Mr. Yu had a nose like a hanging gall bladder and deep-set eyes, so I assumed he also had foreign blood."
“I am a native of the Central Plains. It’s getting late, so I’ll make some preparations for the blooming red flowers. Please excuse me, gentlemen.”
Unable to glean any further information from the two men, Yu Louchun quickly left to save time.
Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua discussed something in a low voice.
"This Yulouchun knows more than just borneol."
“That’s right, he also has borneol.”
"How about we use moon-viewing as an excuse to sneak into the woman's house tonight and see where this secret is hidden?"
"Ah."
