Chapter 2, Why Look for Reasons (Part 2)

Yang Nianqing's lips twitched

Yang Nianqing exclaimed, "Is your name also amusing?"

The benefactor in white blinked their beautiful eyes, and the long eyelashes fluttered as well: "You truly do not know who he is?"

Li Youdao said: "Look at the tree in front of you"

Yang Nianqing said: "It turns out he is the most relaxed."

If it were not for being in the wrong time and place, Yang Nianqing would find all of this very beautiful. Facing three men in ancient attire, she finally accepted the reality—she did not drown, but she had traveled through time.

Suddenly hearing something serious, Yang Nianqing was momentarily taken aback

Is he also a divine catcher

It was not until the seventh glass that Yang Nianqing returned to reality, hurriedly putting down her wine glass to introduce herself: "My name is Yang Nianqing"

The man in black nodded in acknowledgment

I am Nangong Xue

The man in black seemed not to have heard

It was better not to ask, but with her question, He Bi, who had been solely focused on drinking, immediately put down his wine cup. A look of amusement unexpectedly appeared on his indifferent face, and even the elegantly dressed young man couldn't help but cough.

The man in black explained rarely: "It is also a leisurely pastime."

So it was Li You

Yang Nianqing was intentionally trying to provoke him. Seeing that he did not take it to heart, she felt somewhat impressed: "Since you want to detain me, you should at least let me know your identity. Do you have the authority to do so?"

Three people died here

Upon hearing this, the benefactor in white and the young gentleman in splendid attire both smiled

"Why bother?" Yang Nianqing's anger instantly dissipated, and she deliberately laughed a few times, "Such a name actually exists?"

If you think that way, you are mistaken, Li You said, "When others encounter trouble, they usually seek out those who are idle, so the idle are actually the busiest.

The benefactor in white clapped his hands and laughed heartily: "That makes a lot of sense. It seems that old He, today, you cannot escape suspicion either"

Upon thinking of this, she no longer insisted on leaving, but her heart remained displeased, and she coldly remarked: "Is there no law here? Since it is said that everyone is a suspect, then he himself could also be the murderer"

The benefactor in white coughed and said: "Others can all be the murderer, but he certainly cannot."

Oh? Yang Nianqing raised an eyebrow and said, "That may not necessarily be the case. Have you all heard the saying 'a thief cries out to catch a thief'?"

He Bi? Yang Nianqing understood.

My name is He Bi. "Cold."

Yang Nianqing did not notice the expressions of the three people; at this moment, she was thinking about how to return. After helplessly gazing at the sky for an hour, she still could not come up with a feasible solution. She couldn't help but sigh, casually picked up her wine cup, and drank it all in one go, then poured another cup...

How?

Seeing her drink the precious grape wine as if it were water, the three of them were left speechless

A sharp tongue.

So he was a police officer. Yang Nianqing was quite understanding of him, so she sat down again and asked the benefactor in white, "What is your esteemed name?"

Yang Nianqing asked the man in black, "You say a murder has occurred and won't let me leave, do you suspect me?"

The young man in splendid attire beside him spoke, his voice gentle and pleasant: "Brother He is known as the world's foremost divine catcher; investigating cases is his duty, which is why he may have inadvertently offended the young lady"

In the pitch-black night, a cool breeze swept through, and under the red glow of the lanterns, the rain drizzled in slanting lines into the eaves. The large tree beside the attic also swayed, its branches and leaves casting flickering shadows and producing a rustling sound. Yang Nianqing felt a chill run through her body, involuntarily shivering.

Everyone looked at her without expressing anything

"In fact, it is not funny at all," the handsome man in white shook his head, "Although I think so, others will still laugh when they hear it."

He is not unfortunate, He Bi said, Others seek him out simply because he constantly complains about having nothing to do and enjoys causing trouble. He has a nickname called "Flower Picking Young Master," but I think "Curious Lazy Pig" is more fitting.

Yang Nianqing felt a sudden aversion, stood up and said: "I am very sorry, but you are merely suspicious and have no relevant evidence. I am leaving."

You cannot leave

Yang Nianqing coughed and changed the subject: "What exactly is the case about?"

The benefactor in white looked helpless: "I am Muzi Li, here to enjoy the mountains and waters."

Without any warning, two cold fingers clutched at the throat! In an instant, Yang Nianqing felt a chill approaching like a sharp blade, penetrating her skin, spreading from her neck to her entire body, causing goosebumps to rise all over her skin

Yang Nianqing, startled by this, suppressed her anger and said, "What do you mean?"

Yang Nianqing suppressed a laugh: "So, you are the unluckiest."

As night falls, the cold rain drizzles. The small attic is quite quaint, with several lanterns hanging high from the beautifully crafted eaves, swaying gently in the wind, reflecting the fine strands of rain in the night sky. Four individuals sit by the railing, with a few exquisite and tempting pastries and side dishes arranged on the table in front of them, along with an elegantly shaped white pot, the amber-colored wine gently rippling in the jade cup.

"It is just funny," said the benefactor in white. "He is not a necessity, but rather a beautiful jade pendant."

Yang Nianqing has already smiled and asked, "What is your name?"

Before she could utter a word, the hand had already retracted. The man in black sat back down in the chair, as if he had not moved at all

When the murderer acted? Yang Nianqing gradually calmed down

Yang Nianqing immediately moved her chair closer to him

The First Divine Captor, the First Good Person..." Yang Nianqing looked at him, "Then what are you?"

The benefactor in white looked at the two of them and said with a wry smile, "I believe it is better not to speak of it."

This woman has an unknown background and wears unusual attire. Her reaction upon hearing the words "Nangong Bieyuan" was even more unbelievable. Nangong Bieyuan is well-known both in the court and among the martial arts community; even a three-year-old child would likely be able to say these four characters. Yet, she seemed completely unaware of it

The young lady may not be aware of a saying, "The young master in splendid attire laughed and said, 'Why seek reasons? Whether major or minor cases, there is no need to worry.'"

He is the first idler

Yang Nianqing looked up and observed: "Very good-looking"

Li You raised his cup filled with wine: "If there are no fine wines and beautiful women, would my life not be as dull as yours?"

The young gentleman in splendid attire shook his head

Because if I say it, the young lady will surely laugh again

Isn't this name rather dull? Li You said, "Others call him the number one young master in the martial world, the number one good person, and all this fine food and drink is provided by him"

In ancient times, the use of severe torture to extract confessions was not uncommon. Currently, as a woman alone and unaware of the identities of these individuals, it is still advisable to cooperate.

"How could a constable like me be so idle?" Li You poured himself a cup of wine and murmured, "Although I have not been very idle lately either"

He Bi Dao: "Nianhua refers to his superior skills in hidden weapons and lightness techniques compared to others, and women are quite obedient in his presence"

The three people beside remain silent

There are many types of weapons

Yang Nianqing let out a chuckle.

You may try to find the weapon on me

"This means that everyone who appeared in the Nanguo Bieyuan has a motive. If you insist on leaving, he will have no choice but to treat you as the murderer." The speaker, dressed in white, was indeed the benefactor from earlier in the day.

Yang Nianqing turned to the young gentleman in traditional attire, her attitude becoming much more polite: "May I ask for your esteemed name?"

His name is Reason

Few are capable of silently infiltrating the Nanguo Bieyuan, and this woman possesses no martial skills. How is she able to do this? What is her relationship with that mysterious killer?
