"What hypothesis?"
Yun Mengyao looked at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then said:
"I suspect the murderer of your parents might very likely be from the Golden Winged Roc family. They said your parents were killed by a weapon, and I guess it wasn’t a sword. The wounds on their throats were probably caused by feathers."
"The poison of Divine Woman’s Tears made everyone in your parents’ yard lose the ability to resist and were ultimately killed with feathers."
"Of course, these are just my guesses. We didn’t see the bodies, so we can’t confirm."
Yun Mengyao was stunned.
Qin Yi’s hypothesis was very reasonable.
Yin Qianqian said, "But these are just our guesses; there is simply no evidence."
Qin Yi said, "Yaoyao, you go send someone to get your brother."
"My brother? You mean Yun Lin?"
Qin Yi nodded slightly.
"I need to consult with him about some things."
Yun Mengyao nodded and instructed someone to invite Yun Lin.
Soon, Yun Lin arrived.
"Yaoyao, you called for me?"
Yun Lin walked in and looked at Yun Mengyao.
"I’m the one who called for you," Qin Yi spoke up, "Young Master Yun, please have a seat."
Yun Lin sat down with a face full of puzzlement, "Is there something Qin Young Master wants to discuss with me?"
"When Yaoyao’s parents were killed back then, did you see the scene?"
"I did."
"Can you tell me, what were the circumstances of their deaths?"
"This..." Yun Lin was a bit troubled, looking at Yun Mengyao.
Yun Mengyao said solemnly, "Brother, speak! I can handle it."
Yun Lin was silent for a while, then said: "By the time I arrived, they had already been killed. Blood was everywhere, everyone was killed with a single sword strike to the throat."
"However, oddly, Yaoyao’s parents were lying by the flower bed, and those guards hadn’t moved from their places; it was as if they were killed directly while on duty."
"Actually, I can’t understand even now. The cultivation of those guards wasn’t weak, and they were standing in two rows. If one of them was killed head-on, the others should have reacted, not just stand there waiting to be killed."
Qin Yi asked, "Did you see those wounds? Are you sure they were sword wounds?"
"That’s right, I saw the wounds; their throats were cut by sharp implements."
"Sharp implements?" Qin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, "So you’re not certain they were caused by a sword?"
"Those wounds are very fine; the throat was slit, it should have been caused by a sword."
Qin Yi frowned and said, "You’re judging it was a sword based on the appearance of the wounds, right?"
Yun Lin nodded.
"I roughly understand, but we still need confirmation."
Everyone looked at Qin Yi.
Yun Mengyao asked, "What do you understand?"
Qin Yi said, "Have someone bring me a piece of fresh meat. I want to conduct an experiment."
Although everyone didn’t know what experiment Qin Yi wanted to perform, they could imagine it was related to confirming the killer.
Yun Mengyao had someone fetch a piece of fresh pig meat from the kitchen.
Qin Yi hung up the meat, then took out a longsword from the storage ring and casually swept it across, leaving a cut on the meat’s surface.
"Yaoyao, try with a feather."
Yun Mengyao nodded slightly and casually shot out a feather, leaving a wound on the meat’s surface.
"Young Master Yun, come take a look. Which of these two wounds is more similar to the wounds on Yaoyao’s parents?"
Yun Lin stepped forward and looked closely for a long time, closed his eyes to think for a moment, then opened them again and pointed at the wound made by the feather, saying, "This wound left by Yaoyao is more similar. I remember the wounds back then opened more widely than the one left by Qin Young Master’s sword."
"I see, so the wounds weren’t left by a sword but by feathers."
Yun Mengyao’s pretty face was flushed with anger, full of murderous intent.
Only then did Yin Qianqian and Lang Ya understand that Qin Yi’s experiment completely confirmed the fierce beasts should be those from the Golden Winged Roc family, because only they have feathers, and people from the Feather Clan wouldn’t kill their own Clan Leader, right?
Qin Yi said, "There’s also a very important point: feathers can be thrown. With the right force and precision, you can kill several people like flying knives. This is why those guards had no reaction, because the enemy simply didn’t give them a chance to react, immediately cutting all their throats."
Yun Mengyao was furious, teeth grinding loudly, full of murderous intent, "The Golden Winged Roc family, it really is you. I want you to pay with blood."
Yun Lin was shocked, "Yaoyao, you mean the Golden Winged Roc family is the fierce beast?"
"Who else could it be but them?"
"Qin Yi, let’s go to the Golden Winged Roc family right now."
Qin Yi nodded slightly.
"Let’s go! I said we’ll handle it all!"
Yun Lin hurriedly blocked them, "Yaoyao, please calm down. Even if we know the Golden Winged Roc family are the culprits, we need to discuss with the Clan Leader first. Going to the Golden Winged Roc family with just a few of you is suicide!"
"Brother, don’t worry about this. The Golden Winged Roc family, I’ll definitely destroy them."
"No, you can’t go, I absolutely won’t let you take such risks."
Yun Lin kept blocking Qin Yi and the others, while shouting to the servants nearby, "What are you standing there for? Hurry and find the Clan Leader!"
"Yaoyao, you all need to calm down. Revenge needs careful planning. Rushing in like this will only risk your lives."
Yun Mengyao’s face was full of murderous intent, sneering, "The Golden Winged Roc family may seem like a giant to you, but to us, they are nothing."
Just then, one of the disciples who had gone to call Yun Tianli rushed back, worried, "Young Master, people from the Golden Winged Roc family have come again, they are talking to the Clan Leader at the Holy Hall, and I was blocked outside, I couldn’t see the Clan Leader at all."
Yun Mengyao’s eyes grew colder, "They’ve come again? Perfect, let’s collect some interest first."
"Yaoyao, please calm down. The evidence we have now cannot prove the culprits are the Golden Winged Roc family; it simply doesn’t stand up."
Yun Lin was sweating with anxiety.
He knew he must stop Yun Mengyao, or there will be big trouble.
Qin Yi frowned, "Speaking of this, I have another question: Do you know about Divine Woman’s Tears?"
Yun Lin was startled, "What Divine Woman’s Tears?"
"It’s a flower and leaf plant resembling teardrops; I saw it in Yaoyao’s parents’ yard."
Yun Lin thought for a moment, "I seem to have a vague memory. Everyone knows Yaoyao’s mother loved gardening. Jin Wuji once sent her a very valuable plant. I don’t know what it was called, but I’ve seen it, and it’s similar to what you mentioned as Divine Woman’s Tears."
Yin Qianqian spread her hands and shrugged, "Well, this settles it. Not even an immortal can save the Golden Winged Roc family now."
"Step aside."
Yun Mengyao glared at Yun Lin with a shout of anger.
"Today, anyone who blocks me is my enemy. Brother, if you keep blocking me, don’t blame me for disregarding the bond between siblings."
Yun Lin was startled by the malicious look in Yun Mengyao’s eyes.
Yun Mengyao’s Seven-Colored Cloud Wings spread out behind her, and she flew swiftly towards the Feather Clan’s Holy Temple.
