Chapter 303: The Killer

just gripped the reins weakly and leaned on the horse's back. She didn't know how long she had been walking. When the warm sun rose and the warm sunlight fell on her skin, she finally fell asleep soun...That was a lacquered box, three inches long and wide, made of black wood. The edge of the box was stained with some dried blood, leaving five finger prints.

She frowned, glancing at the miniature lock on the lacquered box. It resembled a Luban lock, requiring extraordinary skill to open. Even the most skilled craftsmen might spend their entire lives without success, let alone ordinary people. Compared to those that require keys, such locks were actually more secure.

However, Qin Luoyan was no ordinary person. She could even unravel the Celestial Mechanism Ring, so such a lock naturally couldn't hold her. She fiddled with the lock, and in just a few seconds, there was a light click, and the box swung open.

When Qin Luoyan saw what was inside the box, she almost dropped it in fright. Inside the box, there were two human skins, drenched in fresh blood. There seemed to be strange tattoos on the skin, but the blood obscured them, making it impossible to see clearly.

Her heart pounded like a drum as she clenched her teeth and snapped the box shut. She remembered the first person who died in the courtyard that day, his body seeming to have a patch of skin ripped away alive. Now that she thought about it, the torn piece of skin was the flesh inside the lacquered box.

Qin Luoyan's heart was pounding with fear, because this was Xiao Fan's room, and Xiao Fan was in an incoherent state. In modern times, a mentally ill person killing someone was nothing out of the ordinary, so she was terrified, afraid that the two dead people were killed by Xiao Fan!

She brought the lacquered box to Xiao Fan's face. Xiao Fan was still sitting on the bed, dumbfounded, as if he hadn't felt Qin Luo Yan's anxious mood at all.

Qin Luoyan grabbed Xiao Fan's hand, using his palm to compare it with the five-finger imprint on the golden box. This process was extremely difficult for her. Subjectively, she felt that this couldn't have been done by Xiao Fan, but she was also afraid of that one in a million possibility.

"Impossible!" She stumbled back a few steps and collapsed to the ground when she saw that Xiao Fan's fingerprints matched perfectly with those on the box.

"My senior brother is such a kind person, he would never kill anyone! Never!" She wasn't a Mary Sue. When her life was threatened, she would mercilessly kill her enemies to save herself. But even then, she couldn't accept taking the life of an innocent person who posed no threat to her.

What she couldn't accept even more was that Xiao Fan had truly lost control of his mind. She couldn't accept that Xiao Fan would go so far as to murder strangers. The image of the man in the courtyard when he died, his face twisted in agony, flashed through her mind again. That visage, ravaged and destroyed by life itself. What kind of depraved person would choose such an extreme method during a killing

But, her senior brother wasn't a pervert. Her senior brother was that warm and gentle person...

Her nose felt sour, and she couldn't help but hug Xiao Fan in her arms. "Senior brother, what should we do What should we do..."

When a loved one becomes a demon capable of killing at any moment, what should she do Should she use every ounce of her strength to protect and defend him, or should she, with utter disregard for loyalty, turn this murderer in

Qin Luo Yan wept silently, her thoughts in disarray, she was almost unable to think.

"Is it time to clean up quickly" A voice urged from outside the door.

Qin Luo'yan was startled, quickly wiping away her tears and hurriedly putting the lacquered box back in the cabinet. She quickly took out a set of hurried clothes and just as she walked to Xiao Fan's side, the old man pushed open the door and walked in.

"Hurry up, it's getting late! Get him cleaned up and out of here quickly!" the old man urged impatiently.

Qin Luo yan hurriedly responded, hastily tidying up Xiao Fan before receiving the elder's silver and leaving. However, on the way back, she was like a ghost, her entire soul seemed to have left her body. She didn't know where she had drifted to or what places she had been to.

Night, so deep it could drip water, even the cold moonlight shattered into pieces of chaos.

Qin Luoyan huddled in the corner under the covers, without lighting a lamp. In the darkness, she only wept silently.

When dawn broke, Lao Liu came to find her again. Originally, Lao Liu wanted to persuade her one last time to move out of this terrifying courtyard. Who knew that before Lao Liu could speak, Li Fan, carrying a large box, arrived at Qin Luo'yan's room door.

Li Yunshan didn't even wait for Qin Luoyan's agreement. He directly had someone pack her belongings into a large box. His intention, like Old Liu's, was to get Qin Luoyan to move out of the courtyard, but his approach was simpler and more direct.

Qin Luoyan had a secret in her heart, making her seem absent-minded. Especially deep down, she was filled with fear. She worried that if the truth behind those two deaths led back to Xiao Fan, something terrifying would happen. Would he be branded a murderous demon and executed She couldn't even bear to think about it.

Li Yunfan arranged Qin Luoyan's room in his own courtyard, completely ignoring the strange looks from others. However, when he returned to the courtyard with Qin Luoyan and the large chest, the head of the village was already standing at the door with a face full of embarrassment.

"Uh..." The abbot seemed to have something to say, but seeing Li Yunfan's cold expression, he hesitated.

"Get out of my way! When I make a spare room available in my yard, do you still intend to block me" Li Yunfan glared at the monk who stood barring his doorway, his face filled with displeasure.

The foreman was also very embarrassed. Who would want to get involved in this However, he had just received an order from King Wuxuan, saying that no matter what, Qin Feng could not be allowed to live in Li Yunfan's courtyard, or else he would lose his life!

That's King Wuxuan. To kill him, you wouldn't even need to lift a hand; one look from him would be enough. He wouldn't dare disobey King Wuxuan's orders. It's just that I don't know what's going on between King Wuxuan and Li Yunfan. Why are they both so interested in this little artisan

"No, how could I possibly stop you It's just that you know Qin Feng is making things for Prime Minister Yin and King Wu Xuan. He's quite the celebrity in our armory now. If he gains their favor, it would be beneficial to our armory in the future. So such a distinguished guest deserves to be assigned a separate courtyard. That's why I had someone prepare a private one for him..."

"Then thank you for the host's kindness, I would be honored to oblige." Qin Luoyan didn't wait for the master of the temple to finish speaking before immediately agreeing.

The abbot was about to break into a radiant smile when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He turned his head and saw Li Yun with eyes that could freeze over.

The abbot is really in a difficult position, wanting to cry. He doesn't want to offend either King Wu Xuan or Li Yunfan...
