The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C264

Chapter 264: Yiyi, Yun Family Blood, Yun Family Talk

Just two candlesticks dimly lighted the dark stone chamber. Zhuang Yan’s demeanor was calm, his hair disheveled, devoid of the celestial aura he once possessed as an elder of the Sword Sect. His hands and feet were shackled with spirit locks, imprisoning him against the wall with cold iron chains.

Two elders of the Sword Sect sat on wooden stools, their expressions solemn as they questioned him. Meanwhile, Yun Yiyi stood by, silently recording every word Zhuang Yan uttered with a black judge’s brush.

“In the Pavilion murder case, I instructed Xue Xinghai to eliminate those internal disciples, each harvesting a vital organ to form the evil body. However, unexpectedly, Xue Xinghai missed one person and later encountered a third young lady in the marketplace. Sensing trouble, I rushed to retrieve him, but the eldest lady seemed to have noticed something… she arrived with Elder Hu, so I had no choice but to use the soul-searching technique to destroy Xue Xinghai’s soul.”

Zhuang Yan turned to glance at Yun Yiyi beside him. His eyes tinged with resentment and helplessness.

The two interrogating elders nodded in acknowledgment and inquired, “What about the Qiong Peak incident? Do you have anything to say?”

“In the Qiong Peak incident, I intended to use the essence and blood of the eldest and second young ladies to complete the evil elixir. Everything was going smoothly until two unknown cultivators broke into the furnace and caused it to explode…”

The interrogation went on for a long time. Despite Zhuang Yan’s status as a former elder, the elders opted for a conventional interrogation rather than resorting to soul-searching techniques.

Yun Yiyi, silently recording the proceedings, was a mute spectator throughout. Her role as the scribe was crucial in documenting the proceedings.

Recording the details of the case was an ordinary task, typically undertaken by a high-ranking disciple of the inner sect, even though Zhuang Yan’s case implicated Yun Kunwu. Therefore, Yun Yiyi didn’t return to Yishui Peak to rest and instead took on the responsibility despite her exhaustion, it was because of a single sentence she heard from Feng Yudie, “Young Master Ye!! What are you doing? You should have expected it to come to this…”

This single sentence was enough for Yun Yiyi to connect all the events that had happened recently. Feng Yudie and Ye Anping had a long-standing acquaintance. When Yun Jiujiu met Feng Yudie, Yun Xi met Pei Lianxue, and she met Ye Anping.

During the initial Pavilion murder case, it was Ye Anping who had hinted to her about Zhuang Yan’s involvement.

Zhuang Yan claimed that during the Qiong Peak incident, Feng Yudie and Ye Anping were among the two individuals who had thrown water beads into the furnace.

Ye Anping appeared to be an outsider in front of her, but everything seemed to revolve around him as if he had orchestrated the entire affair from start to finish. Even everyone else seemed to be under his influence. Yun Jiujiu fell for the cross-dressing Feng Yudie, whom she met on the streets. Yun Xi encountered Pei Lianxue when she faced a level-four monster and was saved by her.

Although there was currently no evidence to support her theory, this was the only line of reasoning that could connect all the dots.

After hearing what Zhuang Yan had to say, the elders also picked up on this point of suspicion. They inquired, “Zhuang Yan, you mentioned two unidentified junior cultivators who thwarted your completion of the malevolent elixir. Who were they?”

“Elder Wu, I do not know their identities, but I can assure you they are not ordinary. In fact, one could argue that without them, Kunwu would never have been defeated.”

“But he has been defeated. Elder Hu discovered the remains of the malevolent body in the forbidden area. It’s confirmed that Yun Kunwu has been obliterated. He was directly struck by Senior Tianxing’s Earth Phoenix True Treasure. It’s fortunate that he left behind any remains at all.”

“Ah…”

Another elder beside Elder Wu, upon hearing this, stroked his beard and remarked, “Regardless, there are doubts in this case. We need to ascertain the identities of those two individuals. With such a commotion, leaving any loose ends could lead to complications in the future.”

Elder Wu nodded, “You’re right. When I return, I’ll have the disciples from the Crime Division thoroughly investigate…”

Upon hearing this, Yun Yiyi, who had been silent until now, quickly interjected, “Elders, could I take charge of this matter?”

“Miss, considering what you’ve been through, it would be best for you to return and recuperate for a while. In half a month, Sect Master Yun will come out of seclusion, and by then…”

“I absolutely cannot let the elders investigate!”

While Yun Yiyi felt that Ye Anping likely hadn’t left any clues, what if he had? What if Ye Anping had been careless, and the elders discovered his clandestine assistance?

Even if he had contributed positively to the situation, he would still violate the sect’s rules by intervening in internal affairs as an outsider.

A more favorable outcome would be a balanced account of his actions, resulting in a few days of detainment before release. But if the elders chose to be strict, he could be sent to the Southern Region Crime Department for interrogation, facing decades of punishment.

Yun Yiyi clenched her teeth and said, “I have some leads on the identities of those two individuals. Please, entrust this matter to me. In less than half a month, I’ll track down their whereabouts.”

The two elders from the sword sect hesitated momentarily, then seeing her resolve, they nodded in agreement, “Since you’re so determined, we’ll leave it to you.”

“Alright, I’ll go back and organize the documents,” Yun Yiyi said, standing up and bowing, “I’ll deliver the compiled documents to the crime department in a few days.”

“Young lady, get some rest and don’t overexert yourself…”

Yun Yiyi nodded, quickly organizing the neatly stacked 10,000-character documents she had recorded, and then left the stone room.

As she passed by Xue Xinghai’s cell, she paused momentarily and glanced inside through the gap in the iron bars. She could see the former Pavilion Master looking at her with innocent eyes, saying, “Aba Aba… Baba…”

“…”

Yun Yiyi shook her head with a wry smile and continued walking towards the elevator, ascending to the entrance platform.

At dusk, the distant mountain peaks were outlined with a golden hue. Under the guard of two disciples from the Sword Sect, Yun Yiyi flew on her sword toward Yishui Peak, but the more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became.

—Ye Anping had been lying to her from the beginning! His heart was never with her, and he had never treated her as his fiance.

What excuses for not proposing? What waiting until after the ceremony?

Yun Yiyi could guess that Ye Anping would definitely resign and leave after returning.

“When you come to the Sword Sect, don’t expect to leave without leaving something behind!”

“?”

The two Sword Sect disciples behind her were puzzled,

“Miss, what?”

“Sigh…”

Yun Yiyi let out a heavy sigh, closed her eyes, twisted her flying sword under her feet, turned around, and flew toward Zhongfeng.

“I’m going to Zhongfeng to get some elixirs.”

The two Sword Sect disciples following her were confused and asked,

“Miss, we can go for you. What kind of elixir do you need?”

“…”

Yun Yiyi ignored the two and accelerated her sword towards Zhongfeng. In her heart, she thought, You were the one who deceived my feelings first, so don’t blame me for deceiving your body!

—If you can get out of bed tomorrow, I won’t be called Yun Yiyi anymore!!
