Shuisheng's eyes were red, his anger growing as he spoke.
Mo Hua, feeling sympathy, then asked, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Shuisheng shook his head.
"Then do you have any evidence?"
Shuisheng dropped his head, also shaking it silently, "I have no evidence, and I don't have the ability to look for any. The master also forbids me from looking..."
Elder Su was probably afraid he would face danger.
Mo Hua frowned in contemplation.
The Lu Family built Jinhua Street, compelled the Mining Cultivators to sell their daughters, and established Hundred Flower Tower, not only for their own pleasure and to earn Spirit Stones, but primarily to use sexual bribes to pull Cultivators from various powers to their side.
The powers they enticed included the Taoist Court, the South Yue Sect, and other Clans and Sects.
In this way, they were all in the same boat.
Shuixian was just a bargaining chip.
And Elder Su, being a Sect Elder with real power in the South Yue Sect, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and a first-grade Formation Master, was naturally a target for their enticement.
It's just that it was unexpected for Elder Su to be so deeply in love.
And yet Shuixian also met her fate due to her beauty.
But is that really all there is to it?
Could it be that Shuixian knew some secret of the Lu Family, which led to her death?
Mo Hua thought for a while and then took out several portraits.
These portraits were of the people Mo Hua suspected were the traitors from the Minor Hidden Spirit Sect.
Lu Huaiyi, Lu Huaisheng, Lu Huaiyi, Shen Cai, and Jiang Long.
"Do you recognize these people?"
Shuisheng looked at them and frowned, "They seem vaguely familiar, but I don't know them..."
"Is there one that particularly stands out to you?"
Shuisheng looked again for a while, then shook his head, "No..."
He asked in confusion:
"Gentleman Mo, what's the issue with these individuals?"
Mo Hua said, "Someone committed a serious crime, and all of these men are suspects. I want to investigate further."
Shuisheng asked quietly, "What did they do wrong?"
Mo Hua replied, "It's dangerous, something I can't discuss with you."
"Oh," Shuisheng nodded.
Suddenly Shuisheng looked puzzled again, "These people don't seem to be of the same sort, so why are they all suspects?"
Mo Hua thought for a moment, then said:
"Basically, they all understand the Formation, have married into power, hold positions within the Lu Family, and have overseen mining operations..."
Shuisheng nodded, muttering softly:
"Oh, just like the Lu Family Head..."
Mo Hua's heart skipped a beat.
Just like the Lu Family Head?
He asked swiftly, "In what way are they similar?"
"It's just that... they're almost all alike," said Shuisheng, counting, "understanding the Formation, marrying into power, holding status, controlling the mines..."
Mo Hua drew in a sharp breath, his face filled with disbelief:
The Lu Family Head, married into the family?!
