Recovering from his panic, Yan Sinian used his palm to cover his junior sister’s eyes.
Actually, to spare his junior sister, Li Sanniang’s death was not horrifying.
Otherwise, according to Yan Sinian’s thoughts, such scum should have been torn to pieces.
Yue Qingqing obediently said, "Brother Yan... what do we do next?"
"Hmm?" Yan Sinian was puzzled.
"Murder is a crime here, right? Are we going to get arrested?"
Yan Sinian couldn’t help but laugh and cry, his face showing a rich array of expressions.
If someone acquainted with him had seen this scene, they would definitely think they had mistaken someone else for him.
"Don’t worry, we were just defending ourselves. Besides, if someone is to be arrested, it will be me alone, it has nothing to do with you."
Yue Qingqing fell silent for a moment, then said stealthily, "Let’s think about how to dispose of the body..."
Although this statement did not align with values and blatantly disregarded the teachings of their teacher.
But Yue Qingqing really had no other choice, the police probably wouldn’t believe what had happened here.
Just then, Yan Sinian suddenly resumed his icy demeanor and coldly looked towards the dark staircase.
Fingertip Sword Qi burst forth, its chilly light cutting through the air.
"Young man, don’t be nervous..."
"We are just here to investigate the situation."
Two men with identical appearances walked out of the darkness.
With narrow eyes and similar movements, they were the brothers Cui Wu and Cui You.
Based on the police’s investigation of the victims’ last movements, several gathering places were scrutinized, among them the People’s Hospital.
Additionally, a police officer inadvertently provided a clue. Five years earlier at the People’s Hospital, during the change of season, a large number of people suddenly contracted a strange illness.
Yet it disappeared without a trace in a very short amount of time.
Therefore, the two decided to investigate the hospital.
When the battle had occurred, they were at the hospital entrance.
While a barrier prevented ordinary people from detecting any sounds or images.
But as cultivators with sharp senses, the brothers naturally noticed something.
By the time they hurried over, they found that the Ghost Cultivator’s presence had been extinguished, clearly the doing of the young man before them.
Unexpectedly, the youth appeared barely of age yet possessed such a high Cultivation Base.
It was puzzling why there was a girl with him—perhaps she had just been rescued from the hands of the Ghost Cultivator?
According to their hypothesis, aside from the two victims, the Ghost Cultivator was probably seeking to harvest the souls of a young girl and a middle-aged man.
Feeling the remnants of Spiritual Energy in the air, the brothers’ attitude became even more respectful.
Cui Wu bowed to Yan Sinian, "May I inquire about the senior’s origins?"
In the world of cultivators, hierarchy is not determined by age, but by Cultivation Base.
The superior are revered first.
Although young, Yan Sinian’s entire Cultivation Base was condensed, and calling him a senior was only proper.
Yan Sinian remained aloof, not speaking.
The brothers did not take it to heart; it was normal for an esteemed figure to have a temper.
Cui You whispered, "We belong to the nation’s special department, specifically here to investigate the March 12th serial murder case in Zhuancheng. The suspect has now been dealt with, and we thank the senior for the assistance."
Yue Qingqing was confused by the information. So there was such a special department in the nation?
That meant she and her senior brother probably wouldn’t be locked up.
Yan Sinian nodded slightly, having understood the situation.
Seeing that Yan Sinian did not wish to reveal his origins, Cui Wu and Cui You did not press further.
They simply promised to take care of all subsequent issues, assuring him they wouldn’t cause any problems for his mundane identity.
After explaining everything, Cui Wu looked at Yue Qingqing.
"This young lady has been rescued by the senior; we will erase this segment of her memory and ensure her safe return."
Yue Qingqing: "?" Should you really be saying this in front of me?
Yan Sinian immediately frowned, "That will not do, she is my junior sister."
Cui Wu and Cui You realized their mistake and apologized profusely.
"Then we won’t disturb the senior any further."
After another bow, the two brothers took Li Sanniang’s body and left.
