Qin Yan stood silent and seemed to be thinking about the correctness of Shen Dinghai's words.
Very good, the target mentality has been shaken, just add more firewood and fire!
Seeing this, Shen Dinghai kept up his efforts, pretending to be serious and said: "You kid should reflect on yourself!"
Qin Yan raised his head blankly, his eyes dark, "Did I make a mistake?"
Shen Dinghai snorted coldly, "Of course you are wrong! My cousin is an orthodox Xuanmen disciple. What you have learned has been passed down from generation to generation in your family, right?"
Qin Yan nodded obediently, "Exactly."
"Then it's over. There will always be some deviations from one generation to the next! The longer time goes by, the bigger the deviations will become!"
When Qin Yan heard this, he became more and more at a loss. At this moment, he had lost his gentle and polite shell, and was just an extremely young boy.
Shen Dinghai looked at it and his heart was full of apologies.
I'm really sorry to attack a young man's faith like this, but he was also trying to save people's lives!
Correction, save ghost's life.
Moreover, there are some problems with the Xuanmen teachings. What’s the point of fighting and killing all day long?
Thinking like this, Shen Dinghai felt much more comfortable, and he patted Qin Yan's shoulder comfortingly.
"Okay, okay, acknowledging your mistakes can greatly improve things. Besides, you are still young and have a long way to go in the future. Don't take this matter to heart."
Qin Yan's long eyelashes trembled slightly and he said in a low voice: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your guidance, so that I won't cause a big disaster."
"Oh, I can't talk about giving advice. After all, I'm a few years older than you. It's normal to have more experience. Don't worry about it~"
Shen Dinghai winked at Qin Yan and motioned him to look at Wu Pannan, "Just promise me not to kill her in the future."
Qin Yan nodded with a lonely expression. Seeing that he wanted to bow and apologize to Wu Pannan, Shen Dinghai quickly pulled him up.
It's embarrassing enough to destroy someone's faith, but you also have to see him bow and apologize for what he should do in his duty!
Shen Dinghai's conscience couldn't bear such torture at all, so he said no need, no need, and let it go.
But I couldn't help but think in my heart, this Qin Yan is really a fool.
He looks polite and smart, but in fact... even his IQ can be fooled. Oh, you really can't judge a book by its cover!
Shen Dinghai relied on his own efforts to calm down a vicious incident between humans and ghosts, and felt a little proud.
He couldn't help but turn around and blink at Wu Pannan.
How could Wu Pannan not know that Shen Dinghai was just telling nonsense, he was just trying to save her.
There was silence for a moment.
Upon seeing this, Shen Dinghai left Qin Yan alone, pulled Wu Pannan into a small corner and lowered his voice.
"That kid is depressed because I trained him. Why aren't you happy now that you've been saved?"
Wu Pannan looked up at him, the ends of his eyes were a little red, his lips moved but he didn't speak.
Shen Dinghai felt uncomfortable for a moment, "Don't look at me like this! Zhuzhu is very strong. He has never cried in front of my brother since he was a child!"
Footsteps suddenly sounded upstairs, getting closer and closer, echoing in the empty castle.
It seemed that someone was coming in a hurry. This scene of corpses everywhere made people think that it was Tao Yao who was here to kill him.
Wu Pannan didn't care about that. She felt that the world was extremely quiet.
She sniffed and looked at Shen Dinghai.
"Why save me?"
Shen Dinghai was in a complicated mood. Someone who was not his sister asked him such embarrassing questions in his sister's face...
He scratched his head in embarrassment, "Did I save you by mistake?" Shen Dinghai said innocently, blinking.
"Then I can't watch you disappear in front of me."
Wu Pannan nodded and said "hmm" in a low voice. She didn't know whether she was answering Shen Dinghai or herself.
She turned her head and reached out to wipe away the tears from her eyes. Shen Dinghai froze and didn't dare to move. He saved her, but he seemed to make her cry... What a crime!
At the same time, he was keenly aware of something different about Wu Pannan.
It seems that his attitude has softened a lot? He no longer looked down upon him by raising his eyes like before.
Shen Dinghai successfully rescued Wu Pannan, and then he was able to look at the corpses lying on the ground.
"It should be a corpse, right?" Shen Dinghai said, mustering up the courage to reach out and sniff their noses.
Very well, no.
Shen Dinghai's face instantly turned pale, "To be honest... I have never seen a few dead people in my whole life. It's really exciting to see so many at once..."
He looked at Qin Yan with some fear, "This...should have nothing to do with you, right? Dad's commission is just for you to deal with Wu Pannan!"
Qin Yan frowned, "It's not me."
His eyes were fixed on the corpses, "This place was already like this when I came."
"Ah?" Shen Dinghai tried to organize his thoughts, "That means that in such a short period of time when we escaped, someone killed the servants of these manors."
"The only people who were here at the time were my parents and Wu Pannan. They were both in a coma and were incapable of doing such a thing."
Shen Dinghai said firmly: "It can only be Tao Yao! After she broke away from her cousin's spell, she went on a killing spree and killed most of the servants in the manor."
"No, there is another possibility." Qin Yan's face looked ugly.
He looked at Shen Dinghai, "Who do you think these people are, Mr. Shen?"
Shen Dinghai's face turned even paler, "You mean... a servant of the manor?"
"I already knew something was wrong with them in the maze, but I only connected these two points now! It's really a wooden head!"
He murmured to himself, "If the servants are chasing us, most of the servants are dead now, then the murderer..."
Shen Dinghai and Qin Yan looked at each other, and they could see disbelief in each other's eyes.
"No...impossible. How could a kind-hearted person like my cousin go on a killing spree like a demon?"
Shen Dinghai immediately rejected the idea.
Qin Yan still maintained his rationality, "But now this inference is the most reasonable."
"The murderer was Miss Ran Ran, but maybe she did not kill out of her own will."
Shen Dinghai was shocked, "You mean that peach blossom demon controlled her?!"
"It's not impossible." Qin Yan said calmly: "I also believe in Miss Ranran's nature. There must be a reason for her to do such a cruel act."
The sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer and closer, like the beat of a drum beating fiercely on the head of a drum, which made everyone panic.
Shen Dinghai opened his eyes and looked at the door leading to the corner.
The sound suddenly stopped.
With his heart hanging, Shen Dinghai couldn't help but swallow.
"Come... who is here?!"
A "squeak" sound echoed in the empty castle, like the prelude to the villain's killing spree in a scary nursery rhyme.
The visitor slowly opened the door, and the sticky blood stained her robe black, and even thick dark red liquid continued to drip down.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is dressed in blood.
Not only the clothes, but also the exposed white skin, especially the face, was covered with blood stains, some of which had dried and darkened, while others were freshly sprayed on.
It's suspicious that you can even feel the warmth of blood when you touch it.
The visitor opened his clear eyes and spoke softly.
"Second nephew." (End of chapter)
