Since Wen Yunyan had found this place, he had naturally heard all about Gu Qinghuan’s deeds. His two good friends had also strongly recommended him to try this place.

Therefore, although they had never met, Gu Qinghuan’s position in his heart was not low. Therefore, Wen Yunyan did not put on any airs of a member of a big family.

“Young Master Wen, have you ever thought that your brother wasn’t killed by the Liu family?”

Wen Yunyan slammed the table and said,”lmpossible!”

“As far as I know, Brother Ling and Miss Lin Yan were discovered at the same time. If the Liu family really killed them, they would naturally know that they were the most likely suspects. Then why didn’t they destroy the corpse on the spot and throw it there instead?”

Wen Yunyan laughed disdainfully and replied, “Because they know that whether they bury them or not, we will still think of them.”

Jiang Beiran, who was standing not far away, could not help but grumble in his heart when he heard the answer.

“Yes, there’s a taste…

Although he hadn’t visited all of the Six Nations in the Central Plains yet, based on his current experience, other than the fact that their cultivation levels were far higher than the ones in the Sheng Nation, their intelligence was actually about the same as the higher-ups in the Sheng Nation.

If their IQwas similar, it meant that there would be a lot of melodramatic ” plots ‘

For a death case like this, which was obviously full of loopholes on the surface, no one had investigated it properly at all. They had directly determined that it must be the other party’s doing.

It was as if they were waiting for the protagonist to frown and have a flash of inspiration. Then, they would use their smart big brains to deduce these clues that even a dog could see.

When Jiang Beiran was trying to hold back his anger, Gu Qinghuan said,”Then I wonder if Young Master Lin has ever thought that Brother Ling’s corpse was discovered so easily because someone wanted you to see it quickly and start a conflict with the Liu family?”

Wen Yunyan frowned.” Are you saying that someone wants to start a war between us and the Liu family?”

“Yes, there is indeed such a possibility.”

After a moment of silence, Wen Yunyan asked again,”But who would do that?”

“I will slowly investigate this. However, during the investigation, I hope to obtain Young Master Wen’s full support. Otherwise, there are some areas that we can’t go through.”

Wen Yunyan readily agreed,”Don’t worry. As long as you’re working for me, I’ll definitely do my best to help you.”

“With Young Master Wen’s words, I can rest assured.”

“So you’re taking this matter {“Wen Yunyan asked.

“Young Master Wen’s offer is so high, I naturally have no reason not to accept it.”

“Good! Then I’ll wait for your good news.” Wen Yunyan placed a shell that looked like a conch in front of Gu Qinghuan.” As long as you speak into it, I can hear you. “‘

‘Good fellow…He even got a phone?

After hearing Wen Yunyan’s words, Jiang Beiran was a little surprised. He had thought that his method of sending messages with a flying kite was already high-end enough, but he did not expect that he had already started using the phone.

“Alright, I will.” Gu Qinghuan nodded.” No matter what clues we find, I will inform Young Master Wen immediately.

“Since that’s the case, please find the real murderer as soon as possible. I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first. “Wen Yunyan suddenly stood up.

“Forgive me for not seeing you off. “Gu Qinghuan also stood up.

“You’re welcome.” With his back facing Gu Qinghuan, Wen Yunyan waved and left the room.

Spores were the first step to becoming a mushroom. Unlike plants, spores could not photosynthesize, which meant that they could not support themselves. Therefore, they had to find a support.

And now, Jiang BeiRan was their chosen ” backer ‘.

As long as they could develop into fungi, they would be able to obtain a large amount of nutrients from Jiang Beiran’s body for their growth.

If it was some ” friendly ” spores, then while they absorbed the nutrients of the backer “, they would also provide the ” backer ” with water and necessary elements for survival. It was a win-win relationship.

However, some spores were purely rogues. They only cared about absorbing nutrients. As for whether the ” backer ” died or not, it had nothing to do with them.

The batch of spores that had entered Jiang Beiran’s body were a bunch of hooligans. After being sucked into Jiang Beiran’s body, they quickly scattered and searched for a place to have a good meal.

“Swish… This body looked like it had plenty of nutrients.”

A muscular man wiped the saliva from his mouth and was about to pounce on the delicious blood when he saw a pure white figure appear in front of him.

“Move aside! Otherwise, I’ll be very heavy-handed.”

The white figure only smiled slightly and then punched out.

Looking at the spores in front of him, the white figure clapped his hands and instantly disappeared.

” What’s going on?!”

“What are these white devils??How could he be so cruel? Ah!”

Amidst waves of screams, the spores disappeared in batches, not even having the chance to take a step forward.

After inhaling two mouthfuls of the spore powder, Jiang Beiran more or less understood the function of the spores.

‘Parasitism.’

Unlike the poison powder that could cause organ failure, spores were actually more troublesome to deal with because once they formed in the target’s body, it was difficult to eliminate them.

The reason was that the poison could be neutralized with an antidote to achieve the purpose of detoxification.

However, spores were not suitable. They could absorb whatever spirit pills and elixirs you ate, and they would not treat you as an outsider.

Therefore, if one wanted to get rid of the spores that had completed parasitism, they could only use physical means. However, as long as these spores survived, they would rapidly reproduce. When the time came, the body would be filled with rooted mushrooms. Cutting them was no different from cutting their own flesh.

However, if he could not deal with the spores, they would completely drain the body they relied on. This made Jiang Beiran think about the man’s death. It should be covered in mushrooms.’

Understanding how troublesome the spore powder was, Jiang Beiran waved it away and walked over to Qu Yangze.”Can you absorb these spores back into your body?”

Qu Yangze nodded and opened his mouth to suck all the spore powder into his stomach.

‘What a talent…’

Jiang Beiran patted Qu Yangze’s shoulder and said,”Come with me to the pill refining room later.”

Although the mushroom had grown out of Qu Yangze’s body, Jiang Beiran had discovered that its quality was exceptionally high. It did not lose out to the ten-year-old or hundred-year-old precious materials.

If this precious material was taken and eaten directly, it would undoubtedly be a huge waste.

Therefore, Jiang Beiran planned to refine it into a poison pill the next time, one that Qu Yangze could consume as a tonic.

After watching the mushroom explosion, Jiang Beiran led the group back to the living room and sat down in front of the table to make some flower tea. “Any other gains?” Jiang Beiran asked as he poured himself a glass of water.

“No more.” Wu Qingce and Qu Yangze shook their heads.

Nodding, Jiang Beiran concentrated on brewing the flower tea.

At noon the next day, Jiang Beiran brought Wu Qingce and Qu Yangze to a private room in a restaurant. This was the place where Wen Yunyan had arranged to meet Gu Qinghuan.

Jiang Beiran had come because Gu Qinghuan had said that he only had a 90% chance of escaping unscathed.

Then he had to ensure that that 10% would not happen.

As for bringing Wu Qingce and Qu Yangze along, he only hoped that they could see Qing Huan’s negotiation skills and learn from her.

Gu Qinghuan cupped his hands in the direction where his senior brother had ‘ disappeared “, sat down cross-legged, and waited quietly.

After the time for half an incense stick to burn, there was a knock on the door. Gu Qinghuan opened her eyes and said,”Please come in.”

With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open. A young man who looked very gloomy looked into the private room, then strode in and asked Gu Qinghuan, “Are you the Gu Guanchao that Guan San mentioned?”

“Yes, I am.” Gu Qinghuan nodded.” You must be the Third Young Master of the

Wen family.”

“Yes, it’s me.” Wen Yunyan walked to the table and sat down cross-legged.

“I wonder if Young Master Wen likes wine or tea?”Gu Qinghuan took out a wine bowl and a teacup at the same time and asked Wen Yunyan.

“Anything is fine. This time, I want you to help me investigate something.”

Seeing Wen Yunyan so decisive and straightforward, Gu Qinghuan poured a bowl of wine and pushed it in front of Wen Yunyan.

“Young Master Wen, do you want to ask about your big brother?”

“That’s right. As long as you can find evidence that those bastards from the Liu

Family killed my big brother, I can satisfy you with anything you want..”
