I Want to Be a Turtle in My Next Life.
"My dear wife Mei'er, your news is correct, isn't it?" Xia Tian couldn't help but doubt Mei'er's news. How could that ugly woman Nangong Yan suddenly die? Her death was too bizarre.
"If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself!" Mei'er said unhappily, "The body is still there!"
"My dear wife Mei'er, you are right. I should go and take a look." Xia Tian nodded. Nangong Yan's death was really sudden and strange. He must go and see the cause of Nangong Yan's death in person. If Nangong Yan really died because of his conspiracy, then it would be a good thing. But if Nangong Yan died at the hands of someone else, then it would be a bit troublesome.
"Let's go, that place is not far from here." Mei'er said lightly.
Xia Tian nodded, but flashed into Yi Xiaoyin's room: "Wife Yi Yi, we should go out for a while."
"It's you who went out, it has nothing to do with me." Yi Xiaoyin said lightly.
"Yi Yi, my dear, this place is not safe. I must take you with me." Xia Tian put his arms around Yi Xiaoyin's waist and then quickly left the room.
"Take Ajiu with you!" Yi Xiaoyin shouted hurriedly.
"Xia Tian, you bastard, let the lady go..." At this time, Ajiu had just rushed out of the room.
But before Jiu could finish her words, Xia Tian had already returned to her side, reached out his hand, and picked her up. Then Jiu started to curse again: "Let me go, you vile, shameless beast..."
"Mei'er, my wife, let's go." Xia Tian was too lazy to pay attention to Ajiu.
"Ajiu, stop scolding, it's useless." Yi Xiaoyin said lightly at this time. She was still quite calm.
Ajiu finally calmed down. She actually knew that scolding Xia Tian was useless, but she just couldn't help it.
"Yi Yi, my dear wife, you are much better behaved now. You know not to let this girl bother me." Xia Tian praised Yi Xiaoyin with a smile.
Yi Xiaoyin ignored Xia Tian, and Mei'er didn't even say hello and flashed out of Yiren Pavilion.
Xia Tian naturally said nothing more and quickly caught up.
A few minutes later, they appeared next to Nangong Yan's body.
"She's dead?" Yi Xiaoyin exclaimed. She knew at a glance that the corpse was Nangong Yan who had come to trouble them yesterday. It was not until now that she understood Xia Tian's purpose in coming here.
Mei'er had already driven away the police officers who were guarding the scene, and Xia Tian let go of Yi Xiaoyin and Ajiu, preparing to check the cause of Nangong Yan's death.
After just one look, Xia Tian's expression turned a little ugly.
It was not because the cause of Nangong Yan's death was too complicated, but because it was too simple. In fact, there was no need for a genius doctor like him. Any ordinary person could tell how Nangong Yan died, because anyone could see at a glance that Nangong Yan's throat was crushed!
And this is definitely not good news for Xia Tian.
Although Xia Tian had previously believed that it was unlikely that Nangong Yan was killed by his scheme, he still hoped that this was the truth. But now that he saw it, he knew that Nangong Yan's death should have little to do with him.
"How is it? Do you know who killed her?" Mei'er asked.
Xia Tian shook his head, his face not looking good: "There is no poison residue in her body, and there is no obvious damage to her meridians. It can be seen that before her death, her strength should have been basically intact, and she has almost no other injuries, only this fatal wound, which shows that she basically didn't fight with the enemy, and it was probably killed with one blow. In other words, the person who killed her is much stronger than her. She is already in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and the other person is at least in the late stage of the Nascent Soul, or even higher."
Then, Xia Tian shook his head again: "But it doesn't make sense. Among the twelve people who came from Piao Miao Xianmen, there should be no masters above the middle stage of Yuanying. Who killed her?"
"Could it be Ji Qingying?" Mei'er asked after thinking for a while.
Xia Tian shook his head: "That damn witch could easily kill Nangong Yan, but it definitely wasn't her. If she really came, she would have come to find me. Moreover, if she really appeared here, I would definitely be able to smell her scent in the air...Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Mei'er couldn't help but ask.
"There's a very strange smell in the air, like blood, but not necessarily." Xia Tian frowned slightly, "Let me go and take a look!"
Before he finished speaking, Xia Tian suddenly disappeared.
But in less than ten seconds, Xia Tian returned to the rooftop with a strange look on his face.
"Did you find anything?" Mei'er asked again.
Xia Tian shook his head: "Mei'er, my wife, let's go back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up Yi Xiaoyin and Ajiu in each hand and disappeared on the roof.
In the blink of an eye, they returned to Yiren Pavilion and let go of the two women. Xia Tian then sat in the pavilion, not saying a word, looking like he was thinking seriously about something.
"What are you thinking about?" Mei'er rarely saw Xia Tian so serious, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Mei'er, my dear wife, of course I am thinking about you." Xia Tian came back to his senses and smiled at her.
"I'm right here, what are you thinking about?" Mei'er said unhappily.
Xia Tian was about to say something when his cell phone rang. The ringtone was an extremely familiar voice: "Honey, it's calling..."
This ringtone that had accompanied Xia Tian for several months now belonged exclusively to Qiao Xiaoqiao. Xia Tian naturally did not hesitate at all and immediately took out his phone to answer the call: "Honey, do you miss me? Don't worry, I may be back to Jianghai City in a few days."
"Husband, are you still in Beijing now?" Qiao Xiaoqiao asked softly.
"Yes, I'm still in the capital." Xia Tian replied.
"By the way, husband, I have something to ask you. Do you know a man named Ding Xiang? He is the richest man in Yuenan City..." Qiao Xiaoqiao quickly got down to business.
"Wife, what happened to that old guy?" Xia Tian asked curiously before Qiao Xiaoqiao finished speaking.
"It's like this. Mr. Ding asked me to tell you something. He said he was willing to give away all his wealth in exchange for the art of immortality." Qiao Xiaoqiao said softly. She had just learned about this from Qiao Donghai and felt a little strange. How could Ding Xiang know that her husband had the art of immortality? Because she felt a little strange, she immediately called Xia Tian to ask.
"That damn old man still wants to live forever?" Xia Tian was very unhappy. He didn't have any good feelings towards that old man. The reason was very simple. Who asked that damn old man to help those guys from Piao Miao Xian Men before? If he hadn't been in a hurry to leave Yuenan City, he might have killed that old man. Now that old man actually wants to live forever? It's really a daydream.
Thinking of this, Xia Tian added on the phone: "Wife, tell that old man to die early and reincarnate as soon as possible. In his next life, he can be a turtle and live forever!"
"Puchi!" Qiao Xiaoqiao laughed sweetly, feeling a little helpless at the same time. Her husband was really harsh in his words. He even wanted someone to be reincarnated as a turtle. Of course, she also understood what Xia Tian meant. Obviously, Xia Tian had no interest in the property of the richest man in Yuenan City, and did not want to give anyone the secret of immortality.
"Honey, I know how to tell him." Qiao Xiaoqiao hung up the phone quickly. She was very busy now. Ye Mengying, Sun Xinxin and others had all gone to Qingfeng Mountain, so there were some things that needed her help to deal with.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Tian muttered, "That old man still wants to live forever. If I wasn't there right now, I would let him reincarnate right now!"
"What are your plans now?" Seeing Xia Tian hung up the phone, Mei'er couldn't help but ask again, "Although Nangong Yan is dead, it seems that there are still two immortal cultivators in the capital, one is Nie Zixiong, and the other is the person who killed Nangong Yan. How do you plan to deal with them?"
After a pause, Mei'er added, "However, we should only deal with Nie Zixiong. The person who killed Nangong Yan should not come to trouble us."
"My dear wife Mei'er, this is hard to say. The enemy of my enemy may not be my friend." Xia Tian shook his head. "I always feel something is wrong. Are these idiots really here to find the Fairy Sister? But up to now, I have met more than half of them. Why are there not many who really want the Fairy Sister to go back? In total, I have met eight people. It seems that only Han Mingfei and Bai Yunshan can be counted as the two idiots who really want the Fairy Sister to go back. Since the Fairy Sister's master wants to find the Fairy Sister so much, why did he find so many unreliable guys? Could it be that the Fairy Sister's master is also an idiot?"
Then, Xia Tian shook his head: "That doesn't make sense. Sister Shenxian said that her master is very powerful. Not only is his cultivation high, but his wisdom is also extraordinary!"
"It's a bit strange when you say that." Mei'er nodded slightly. Indeed, since Piao Miao Xianmen has gone to great lengths to find Yue Qingya, it stands to reason that the disciples who come to look for Yue Qingya should be quite reliable. It can be considered normal for a few of the twelve disciples to have ulterior motives, but it is really abnormal that six out of eight have problems.
"That damn witch Ji Qingying should know something, but unfortunately, no one knows where she has gone now." Xia Tian was a little annoyed, then shook his head, "Forget it, let's not think about this for now, let's find a way to find Nie Zixiong first."
"There is no clue now, how can we find him?" Mei'er couldn't help but ask.
"How about, Mei'er wife, let's try our luck and have someone post some notices to identify the bodies. If anyone comes to identify the bodies of Guan Jianxiong and those idiots, it should be Nie Zixiong." Xia Tian thought for a while and said. He really couldn't think of any good idea at the moment. When Mei'er wife interrogated Junior Brother Ge, she also forgot to ask Junior Brother Ge to get a portrait of Nie Zixiong. Otherwise, things would be simpler.
