Chapter 282: Chapter 282

"I want to look at matters concerning Fang Chunxue. I'll leave here in a few days, so you don't need to trouble yourselves too much. Just give me a place to stay," Xiaoyao said.

"Very well. I'll have someone send records about Fang Chunxue to your lodging," the old man nodded.

Xiaoyao nodded, preparing to leave. However, after taking one step, he stopped again and said, "Well, although I think you may have already thought of some things, I still feel I need to remind you, the most dangerous place is the safest place."

"What?" Everyone didn't understand what Xiaoyao meant.

"It's been so long without any news reports, which means you still haven't found that person, haven't even discovered a trace. Under such circumstances, either this person has heaven-reaching abilities, or he's in a place you would never think of." Xiaoyao continued.

"What do you mean?" the young woman asked first.

"I mean he's very likely in a place you wouldn't think of. What place would you eliminate first?" Xiaoyao asked.

A place flashed through the young woman's mind, and her face showed a shocked expression: "Could it be he's currently at the Fang Family Cemetery?"

That's right, the first place they'd eliminate was the Fang Family Cemetery, because they had just come from there, and the opponent's diversionary tactic had chosen the Fang Family Cemetery as the location. This made almost everyone exclude that place.

"I'm only saying it's possible, not necessarily that he's really there." Xiaoyao replied with a smile, looking like he took no responsibility.

"Have someone check the Fang Family Cemetery." the young woman ordered, then turned to look at Xiaoyao, asking very puzzledly, "How did you think of that place? Don't say you just randomly thought of it."

"The reason is simple, of all places to choose from, why pick the Fang Family Cemetery? This place isn't far from here. Even if he wanted to divert the tiger from the mountain, he should draw the tiger farther away. Therefore, his choosing the Fang Family Cemetery might have a purpose, and this purpose very likely is that his original objective was the Fang Family Cemetery."

Xiaoyao continued, "His being discovered here by you was also part of his plan, making you return from the Fang Family Cemetery while also making you exclude the cemetery from your defenses."

"Right, this is very possible." the old man nodded. The way he looked at Xiaoyao seemed to change again, and the others were the same.

Really very similar, back then Fang Chunxue was also this perceptive, able to see things others couldn't see.

This was what these people were thinking now. They felt even more that Xiaoyao was Fang Chunxue's son. At this moment, they seemed to overlook one point, there were many perceptive people, and this didn't necessarily indicate any relationship between two people.

"Xiaoyao, why don't you stay and help us analyze the situation? More people mean more eyes," the old man said. Seeing Xiaoyao's analytical ability, he felt it would be better for Xiaoyao to stay and work together. Perhaps he could discover things these people couldn't see.

Of course, it wasn't that these people had no analytical ability, but each person's perspective was different. What they saw would be different, and what they analyzed would be different. What a leader liked to see was naturally multi-faceted analysis.

"I want to sleep," Xiaoyao said.

"You can meditate and rest here. I'll call you if anything happens." the old man said very peacefully.

"Alright." Xiaoyao responded, then began meditating to rest. For him, sleeping and meditating weren't very different, because even while meditating he could sleep, and while sleeping he could still circulate his energy.

"I also need to rest and wait for news." Seeing Xiaoyao just meditating , the young woman was somewhat displeased. Why could he rest while she couldn't? She also needed to rest.

Just like that, the young woman also learned from Xiaoyao and meditated to rest beside him.

Everyone was somewhat speechless. They also wanted to rest, but at this time they definitely couldn't. They could only watch Xiaoyao and the young woman rest while waiting for news from outside. For more chapters visıt noveⅼfire.net

This situation didn't last very long, because soon someone brought news. At the Fang Family Cemetery, they had indeed discovered that person. The person seemed quite surprised by this situation, reacted a bit slowly, and was captured.

The Fang family wasn't an easy place to infiltrate. If one reacted slowly, let alone someone who had just entered Emperor Level recently, even someone who had long been at Emperor Level with exceptional movement skills would find it difficult to escape capture.

If it weren't so, how could Xiaoyao have been caught by the young woman.

"How did you think I was there?"

When that person was brought before the old man, he seemed very unconvinced. He had originally felt his plan was almost seamless, how could it have been discovered?

At this time, everyone was also surprised. This person looked somewhat young, at most thirty years old. Although his appearance wasn't very handsome, he had distinct features with a kind of resolute beauty.

Who was this young man? No one present knew him. They had never seen him before and couldn't find any figure to connect with this young man.

"Someone reminded us, and after so long, we would have thought of it eventually. You're quite interesting though, still staying there. Could it be that what you were doing required a long time?" the old man asked calmly. He admitted being reminded by Xiaoyao, he was quite frank about this point.

"What I do is none of your business. Who reminded you?" the young man said very arrogantly, as if he weren't a prisoner but the person in charge here.

"That's also none of your business. You only need to answer me, who are you, and what did you come here for." the old man said calmly, completely ignoring the young man's arrogance.

"Who I am doesn't need to be told to you. What I'm doing, investigate it yourself," the young man looked uncooperative, with an expression that was quite annoying, at least very annoying to the Fang family people.

"What did he have on him?" the old man turned to ask someone beside him, naturally the person who had brought the young man over.

"Nothing, just night clothes and the jade pendant we had stolen."

The stolen jade pendant, this really was related to the previous incident. Regardless of who this person was, he was definitely connected to the jade pendant theft.

"You don't need to search. I won't have anything on me related to my identity. Before coming here, I considered being captured and naturally wouldn't bring anything proving my identity," the young man looked somewhat arrogantly at those beside him, still lacking awareness of being a prisoner.

"The stolen jade pendant, wasn't that the Qin family's people?" the young woman suddenly asked.

"..." The young man showed silence, then said, "I'm not from the Qin family."

"I didn't say you were. Answering , are you feeling guilty?" the young woman smiled at the young man.

"I'm not." the young man said through gritted teeth. His performance seemed to indicate he might be from the Qin family. However, this matter was negated by Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao had been awakened by then and heard the conversation between the young woman and young man. Seeing the young man's expression and movements, he spoke up, "He's not from the Qin family, just trying to frame them."

"It's you.? You're from the Fang family?" When the young man saw Xiaoyao, his expression immediately changed.

Originally, he felt that even if this matter had unexpected developments, it was still within his control. But Xiaoyao's appearance made him feel this matter was beyond expectation, directly causing his unexpected shock. Although not great, it was enough to prove some things.

First, it made the Fang family people understand that Xiaoyao really had appeared here by coincidence. Even if not, he shouldn't be together with this person before them.

Second, Xiaoyao also guessed some things—

"You recognize me? Interesting. Were you there when that merchant caravan was robbed and killed?"

The jade pendant was in this young man's hands, and he had seen Xiaoyao. Putting these two circumstances together, this young man was very likely at the scene then.

"Yes, I was there. I had thought you were just an ordinary passerby. I didn't expect you were from the Fang family. No wonder the Fang family didn't send many people to escort this jade pendant. No wonder you could analyze things so thoroughly." the young man directly admitted. He felt there was nothing to argue about in front of Xiaoyao, at least for such obvious matters there was no need to argue.

This young man clearly took Xiaoyao for a secret Fang family piece, and also felt that the reason Xiaoyao hadn't revealed this information before was to safely return to the Fang family without causing trouble.

He believed that with Xiaoyao's intelligence, he could think that even investigating would yield no clues and would only bring pursuit, so he simply played the passerby role to the end.

However, he was wrong, just like the others...

"I'm just an ordinary passerby. Being there was just a coincidence," Xiaoyao said.

"Haha, you don't need to deceive me anymore. If being there was just a coincidence, is being here also a coincidence?" the young man laughed loudly, his laughter containing mockery, mocking Xiaoyao for taking him for a fool.

At this moment, the young woman felt the current situation was somewhat ironic. Hadn't she been just young man before, thinking Xiaoyao was lying and saying unbelievable things? And these words were indeed true, Xiaoyao wasn't from the Fang family, and appearing there was just a coincidence.

Just now, hadn't she and these Fang family people suspected that Xiaoyao's appearance there wasn't coincidental, and appearing here also wasn't coincidental?

"Look at my clothes." Xiaoyao suddenly said something that made the young man feel somewhat baffled. Then he subconsciously looked at Xiaoyao's clothes and quickly understood what Xiaoyao wanted to say.
