Chapter 39 Autopsy Results

Fei Xi's answer was a sharp sword aura that grazed her neck. Bian Yuan stared coldly at the woman before him, who seemed oblivious to his own mortality, as if she were already dead.

"There will be no second time!"

After saying that, the swordsmen leaped away and left. Not being able to kill him directly was making him very irritated, so they decided to avoid seeing him altogether!

Seeing that the person had left because she was disgusted, Fei Xi's lips curled up slightly, but her body was too weak to hold on any longer. Her legs went weak, and she collapsed to her knees on the ground.

A mouthful of blood gushed from her throat like a burst dam. At the same time, a faint pain appeared on her neck. She subconsciously touched the left side of her neck and found it wet; it was indeed bleeding.

The wound wasn't deep, but the damage caused by the sword energy was extremely difficult to heal. Her husband from her previous life was truly determined to kill her this time!

And this was exactly the result she had been hoping for.

Normally, an ordinary man would feel some pity when he sees a young girl acting cute and coquettish. But Bian Yuan is not like that at all. When it comes to understanding Bian Yuan's likes and dislikes, no one is more qualified to speak than her.

He was the man she had gone to great lengths to seduce. She could guess his likes and dislikes, his every move and expression—she knew them all perfectly. But the one thing she misjudged was her own heart.

Fei Xi took out a medicine bottle and swallowed two pills. As the medicine gradually took effect, her body, which had been eroded by the sword energy, slowly regained some vitality. She struggled to her feet, leaning against a tree, and moved her numb and stiff limbs. The sword wound on her neck required a special method to heal, and applying medicine now would be futile, so she simply ignored it.

A section of her hair on the left side was broken off; the double buns on her head were styled by Liu Huihui.

In brothels, even the maids love to dress up. Each hair tie securing their bun has a pair of small, closed bells attached. When the sword swung, it severed a lock of hair and the bells on the hair tie.

Fei Xi wasn't good at styling her hair, so she let it down and casually gathered the strands into a ponytail. Once she was in good shape, she figured out the direction and rushed towards the mortuary.

Not long after she left, a figure appeared where she had just knelt. The newcomer glanced at the bloodstains on the ground, his eyes flickering, before noticing the remaining hairband. A small lock of hair and a pair of delicate, closed bells were attached to the hairband. He carefully picked them up, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and tucked them into his robes.

The charitable estate of Nanxuan City is located at the junction of the west and south sides. It was jointly built by several wealthy families in Nanxuan City and was originally used for charity and helping the needy.

With the establishment of the Hua Dynasty, the mission of upholding justice emerged. The task of saving the world and rescuing the people was directly entrusted to the major sects. The mortuary in Nanxuan City gradually became a temporary place for coffins. If a murder occurred in Nanxuan City, the body would be temporarily placed there until the case was solved.

Hearing the watchman's gong, Fei Xi returned to the mortuary at the deepest hour of the night, around 3:00 AM.

Under the bright lights of the green-tiled house, Fei Xi saw two figures standing at the entrance of the mortuary in the distance. As she approached, one of them embraced her with a sweet fragrance.

"Senior Sister, you're finally back... Oh, Senior Sister, how did you get injured?"

Mu Qingfeng, who had originally intended to ask about Ji Zhongxuan, immediately noticed the red marks on her senior sister's neck. Seeing her red eyes, exhausted expression, and her hands wrapped in handkerchiefs, she suddenly couldn't bring herself to ask. Her senior sister had spent the entire night running around for Senior Brother Ji, covered in injuries, while she herself seemed unable to offer any help…

"It's alright, it's alright! Don't worry, I actually need your help."

Gently embracing her worried junior sister, Fei Xi glanced at the girl in red on the other side.

"Xiao Luo, thank you for keeping Junior Sister company."

“My master has always forbade me to go down the mountain with my fellow disciples to defend the righteous path. I’ve never seen a murder case in my entire life. I certainly won’t miss something this interesting. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need anything!”

"Yes, don't be shy, please come in with me."

Fei Xi led the two into the mortuary, and as she instructed, they worked together to force the sword energy out of her neck. As soon as the sword energy disappeared, Fei Xi immediately felt the excruciating pain of flesh being torn apart and bones being ripped apart, causing her to turn pale and break out in a cold sweat.

She had just grabbed the medicine bottle from her bosom when she remembered she had already taken two pills that day and couldn't take any more. She had no choice but to endure the pain and hand the small medicine bottle to her junior sister so she could apply the medicine.

"What a vicious sword technique! This sword energy is like a ghost, difficult to detect when it strikes, yet it lurks in the body like a malignant tumor, wreaking havoc. By the time it's discovered, it has already invaded the bone marrow, and medicine is useless!"

Wu Yanluo, who comes from the prestigious Taibai School and was carefully taught by a renowned master, immediately recognized the terrifying nature of the sword wound.

Upon hearing Wu Yanluo's words, Mu Qingfeng's eyes immediately ignited with anger:

"Senior Sister, who exactly injured you? I will avenge you!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Mu. I just don't know if I'll be able to wait until the day you become the number one martial arts master."

"Senior Sister, how could you make fun of me like this!"

Fei Xi gently poked her junior sister's puffed-up cheek, feeling a warmth in her heart. It felt so good to have someone stand up for her.

She certainly didn't mean to belittle her junior sister, but when it comes to talent, the difference between an ordinary person and a genius is like heaven and earth. Bian Yuan made a name for himself in the Great War of Wei at the age of 14, and since then he has been a legend in the martial arts world, never having tasted defeat. If her junior sister wanted to defeat Bian Yuan and avenge her, she would probably have to swallow 10 Immortal Flowers to have any chance of winning.

"Is it Senior Bian? Didn't we already make it clear last time? Xiao Xi, you don't know martial arts. It's really ungentlemanly for him to attack ordinary people. Fortunately, my master has always praised him highly, even calling him a rare gentleman in the martial arts world."

To guess who injured her with just a few words, this Miss Wu is truly intelligent. However, Fei Xi didn't want the Taibai Sect to misunderstand Bian Yuan's character. Smiling, she linked arms with one of the girls and led them towards the back of the mortuary.

"Thank you both for standing up for me. I had a misunderstanding with Peak Master Bian, but it's all over now. If you're not afraid, please come with me to the back to see the autopsy results of Elder Shi."

Mu Qingfeng and Wu Yanluo were naturally unafraid. The three of them went to the backyard together, where the coroner was tidying up his tools.

"Senior Shi, is there any result yet?" Fei Xi asked impatiently as she stepped forward.

The coroner, Shi Yi, nodded.

“Wang Xiaoya was beaten to death, and the murderer’s identity is beyond doubt. But there are no fatal wounds on Master Yan’s body, and both of his hands are clenched, and his fingernails and toenails are mostly blue. His fists are clenched, and saliva is flowing. I can say with certainty that Master Yan died suddenly from a cold wind.”

"Great! Senior Brother Ji can now be cleared of suspicion!"

Upon hearing the results, the junior sister was overjoyed.

Fei Xi shook her head; things were far more complicated than that.

"Senior Shi, let me take another look at Yan Gongsheng's corpse."
