Chapter 131: A Cut Above the Rest

"Young Master, I will drive him away right now!" The Nascent Soul slave was shocked and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Yunxiu stopped him and then asked the concierge, "Did Zhang Ye say what he was here for?"

"It is said that the young master and he are going to attend the blacksmith exchange meeting, so we came here to inquire about the specific situation." the concierge said.

Yunxiu hesitated for a moment: "Bring him over."

The ancestor of Yuanying was puzzled: "Sir, Zhang Ye has clearly come to investigate the case, how can he be allowed in?"

"You think I don't know that he is here to investigate the case." Yunxiu snorted coldly, "But what can he find? Rather than being secretive, it would be better to be open and aboveboard."

…

Zhang Ye and Team Leader Qiao in casual clothes were waiting outside the door. Team Leader Qiao asked: "Zhang Ye, are you sure Yunxiu will meet you?"

"I'm so handsome, how could he not want to see me?" Zhang Ye joked. In fact, he had already learned about Yunxiu's character through the introduction of Team Leader Qiao. On the surface, he was elegant and gentle, but in fact he was an extremely arrogant and conceited person. Zhang Ye is the most famous blacksmith at the moment. Regardless of whether Yunxiu is the real murderer or not, he will definitely want to meet Zhang Ye.

"Ugh..." Team Leader Qiao retched deliberately to express his disgust.

At this moment, the concierge opened the door: "Young master, please come with me."

Team Leader Qiao was stunned for a moment, holding the grass in his hand. He heard that Yunxiu is a hermaphrodite, so he couldn't really be attracted to Zhang Ye, right? Otherwise, how could we meet.

"Xiao Qiao, what are you still doing?" Zhang Ye walked forward and shouted, and Team Leader Qiao quickly followed.

It has to be said that the Yunxiu Mansion is beautifully decorated with rockeries, gardens, pavilions and pavilions, and the scenery is pleasant.

When Leader Qiao saw that he wouldn't arrive for a while, he said, "Zhang Ye, I want to discuss something with you."

"You said?" Zhang Ye asked doubtfully.

"Can you please don't call me Xiao Qiao? I'm old enough to be your great-grandfather, and Xiao Qiao sounds like a girl's name." Team leader Qiao was a little dissatisfied.

"Da Qiao?" Zhang Ye nodded with satisfaction.

"You..." Team leader Qiao was speechless for a while, not wanting to dwell on this issue anymore.

After a while, the attendant took Zhang Ye and the two to a courtyard: "My young master will be arriving soon."

Not long after, an elegant young man with a face even more beautiful than the woman came over, cupped his hands, and said politely: "I have always wanted to meet Master Zhang, and I never thought you could come to my humble home in person. It is really brilliant. I just held it in my hand." Please forgive me for the poor reception."

It was commendable that Mr. Yunxiu, who held a high position and was so enthusiastic, was so commendable. Leader Qiao immediately felt that Yunxiu could not be the mastermind behind the scenes.

But immediately, Team Leader Qiao looked confused. Yunxiu must have recognized the wrong person. Why did he say this to himself?

Leader Qiao said: "Master Yun, this is Master Zhang."

"Oh?" Yunxiu looked like he suddenly realized, "It turns out that Master Zhang is so young, but I misunderstood him. It's my fault."

"It doesn't matter." With Yunxiu's power, it was impossible not to know what he looked like, but he deliberately pretended not to recognize him in order to avoid suspicion? Zhang Ye refused to let go of any clues.

After exchanging pleasantries with Zhang Ye, Yunxiu asked: "By the way, Master Zhang, I wonder why you are visiting my humble residence?"

"It's like this. The Five Regions Young Blacksmiths Conference is about to be held. I don't have much experience, so I'm here to ask Mr. Yunxiu for advice." Zhang Ye cupped his hand.

Yunxiu was modest and immediately told Zhang Ye about this blacksmith exchange meeting. There was a process in which the blacksmiths presented their most satisfactory works for awards.

Zhang Ye interrupted Yunxiu, pretending to be happy and said: "So that's it, I happened to have made a magic weapon that I was quite satisfied with. I heard that Mr. Yunxiu has done a lot of research on the magic weapon I forged. Why don't you help me take a look? , can this win an award?”

Yunxiu did have a lot of research on Zhang Ye's magic weapon, otherwise it would be impossible to forge Zhang Ye's product to look like the real one.

There was a sneer in Yunxiu's eyes, but she said seriously: "Yun has long wanted to see Master Zhang's works, but Master Zhang's magic weapon is hard to find. Yun has never seen it with his own eyes, so how can he say that he has done a lot of research on it? If I could see you today, I would be lucky."

Yunxiu has left herself completely, feeling proud that she wants to set a trap for me, but you are still a little too young.

Zhang Ye looked unwilling to do so: "You really haven't studied my magic weapon?"

"Yunmou feels guilty." Yunxiu looked ashamed.

Zhang Ye said nothing more and took out a top-quality flying sword from the Qiankun bag: "Master Yun, this will open your eyes."

Yunxiu felt contempt in his heart. The best magic weapon was just a magic weapon. There was nothing eye-opening about it. However, he still pretended to take the flying sword and looked at it carefully: "What a sword!"

"What's so good about it? Can you win the highest award?" Zhang Ye's words swelled to the limit.

Yunxiu restrained her urge to laugh. The magic weapons used in the awards were at least royal weapons. Although the best magic weapons were rare, they were still just magic weapons. How could they win the prize?

Yunxiu said a few perfunctory words, "What extraordinary craftsmanship and outstanding design will definitely lead to victory!"

Zhang Ye was like a fool. Every time Yunxiu praised him, he happily echoed her words. This made Yunxiu even more complacent, and Zhang Ye was no more than that.

"By the way, Mr. Yunxiu, you haven't told me how my seal is?" Just like calligraphy and painting require seals to match, a good seal can add a lot of color to calligraphy and painting, and magic weapons are no exception.

Yunxiu pointed to the place where the flying sword was stamped: "Yes, especially the words 'Zhang Ye is so handsome' are simply the finishing touch. I bet that Master Zhang will definitely be number one when he judges this flying sword!"

Yunxiu dug a trap, and when the time comes, Zhang Ye will be so ignorant that he will take the top-grade magic weapon to the selection, which will definitely embarrass him to death.

Previously, when Zhang Ye heard Yunxiu's praise, he would happily agree, almost dancing with joy, but when Yunxiu commented here, Zhang Ye looked normal: "Mr. Yun, you can't read, right? My seal clearly says 'Zhang Ye is so cool'!"

"How is it possible? Look, this is not Zhang Ye is so..." Yunxiu was suddenly stunned, the last word was so damn cool.

Zhang Ye's voice was cold: "Mr. Yun, didn't you say that you have never studied Zhang's magic weapon? Why do you know the words on my previous seal?"

Yunxiu already understood that this was a trap set by Zhang Ye, and his eyes were full of anger. He originally treated Zhang Ye as a fool, but he never thought that everything Zhang Ye did was to paralyze Yunxiu and treat him as a fool!

Yunxiu pondered for a while and smiled: "I heard from others that when did Master Zhang change the seal?"

"Did others say that?" Zhang Ye did not answer, but asked meaningfully. Then, Zhang Ye bowed his hands and said, "I suddenly remembered something, Master Yun, I won't bother you anymore."

Team leader Qiao was puzzled. He had obviously cheated something, why didn't Zhang Ye pursue the victory? But he was dragged out by Zhang Ye.

Yunxiu picked up the flying sword in his hand: "Zhang Ye, your sword."

"No, it's your sword." Zhang Ye didn't even turn his head.

Yunxiu stared at Zhang Ye with resentment as he left, and broke the flying sword. The Yuanying servant walked out from the dark: "Master, do you want to kill them?"

"So many people saw them entering Yunxiu's mansion, how to kill them?" Yunxiu pondered for a while, "But even if he guessed that it was me, so what, there is no evidence, Zhang Ye can only take the blame!"

"Then do nothing?" The Yuanying ancestor felt a little uneasy.

"Get rid of your subordinates as soon as possible."

Because Zhang Ye has a direction, the efficiency of following the clues will be much higher. Zhang Ye is more cunning than expected, so don't let them find Yunxiu Mansion. To be safe, Yunxiu must cut off the clues.

"Yes!"

...

Zhang Ye and Team Leader Qiao walked out of Yunxiu Mansion and found an empty alley. Seeing that no one was following, Team Leader Qiao asked: "Zhang Ye, if you add some fuel, you may get the truth. Why are you leaving?"

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes: "I really doubt how you became the team leader? Did you sleep with your leader?"

Team Leader Qiao blushed, raised his hand immediately, swore, and said that the relationship between him and his leader was purer than a blank sheet of paper.

Zhang Ye felt a chill, there was something fishy! But this is not the point. Zhang Ye continued, "Even if we continue to interrogate Yunxiu, what if she admits it? There is no evidence. It's my bad luck."

"Then according to you, it's useless again?" Team leader Qiao sighed, "and it's also alarming the snake. There will be no hope of finding evidence later."

"Alarming the snake? Have you heard of luring the snake out of its hole?" Zhang Ye smiled confidently.

At night, the Yuanying housekeeper of Yunxiu Mansion went out alone and walked towards the west of the city.

Not long after, the Yuanying housekeeper and a merchant met in an alley.

"Housekeeper Hu, do you have another magic weapon to use?" The merchant acted very flattering.

The Yuanying housekeeper looked around and then said, "No."

"Then why did you ask me out so late?" The merchant was puzzled.

"I want your life!" The Yuanying housekeeper grabbed the merchant's neck with one hand and lifted him up.

The merchant never dreamed that the other party would kill people, but he was only in the Jindan realm, how could he resist? Just when the merchant was about to die, a voice majestically rebuked: "How dare you commit a crime in Tiandao City!"

A dragon rope flew over and tied the Yuanying housekeeper into a twist, unable to move. Zhang Ye and Team Leader Qiao walked out from the dark.

The merchant survived the disaster, and when he saw Team Leader Qiao wearing the military uniform of the City Guard House, he was grateful: "Thank you for saving me, sir."

After the merchant finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Team Leader Qiao stopped him: "Don't go yet."

And Zhang Ye stepped forward, looked at the Yuanying housekeeper, and was about to ask questions, but the Yuanying housekeeper looked terrified: "Zhang Ye, I won't tell you anything about inferior magic weapons."

"Oh, I originally wanted to ask you why you killed people, why are you talking about inferior magic weapons?" Zhang Ye said with a smile.

Yuanying was stunned, and in a hurry he let the cat out of the bag, denying it flatly: "Humph, you heard it wrong, I didn't say anything."

Zhang Ye shook a jade slip, indicating that the whole process was recorded. Yuanying's housekeeper's face froze, but he said: "So what, I am the housekeeper of Yunxiu Mansion, what can you do to me?"

"The housekeeper of Yunxiu Mansion is related to the magic weapon self-destruction case." Zhang Ye thought, "Anything else to add?"

Yuanying's housekeeper was confused and dared not speak again.

"If you don't deny it, it means you admit that the self-destruct magic weapon came from your Yunxiu Mansion?"

When Zhang Ye said this, Yuanying's housekeeper burst into tears. It was not right to speak, and it was not right not to speak, so he could only cry.

"So these are your tears of repentance?" Zhang Ye drove Yuanying's housekeeper completely crazy...
