　　On a quiet road, a Mercedes-Benz RV slowly drove away from Yunwu Mountain.
　　”Stop the car！” Cao Yuan suddenly said.
　　The driver quickly stepped on the brakes.
　　Cao Yuan looked at the young man beside him and said, “Don’t hold it in. It’s not good for your health.”
　　The young man quickly pressed the glass and stuck his head out of the window.
　　“Pfft！”
　　A mouthful of blood spat out from his mouth.
　　He exchanged three punches with Ye Qiu. In the third punch, not only was he sent flying back more than a dozen steps by Ye Qiu, but he also suffered internal injuries.
But he had been endured and didn’t show it. Youdaoplaceholder0, he was still discovered by Cao Yuan.
　　“Sorry, Sect Master. I have shamed you.” The young man said guiltily.
　　“It’s okay. Even Xiao Qingdi was defeated by him, let alone you.” Cao Yuan then asked the young man, “What do you think of Ye Qiu？”
　　“Strong！” After saying that, the young man felt that what he said wasn’t accurate enough and added, “Very strong！ Ye Qiu’s martial arts skills are comparable to those of the experts on the Dragon Ranking. If he goes to compete for the Dragon Ranking next year, maybe he can rank among the top ten.”
　　“What about the information I asked you to check？”
　　“It’s all in here.”
　　The young man handed a tablet computer to Cao Yuan.
　　Cao Yuan turned on the computer and browsed through the information carefully.
　　Three　minutes　later.
　　Cao Yuan turned off the computer and said, “Ye Qiu’s mother is actually the eldest daughter of the Qian family, a prominent family in Suzhou and Hangzhou for a hundred years. It’s really unexpected. Why isn’t there any information about his father on it？”
　　“I checked, but couldn’t find it.”
　　“Couldn’t find it？” Cao Yuan raised his eyebrows.
　　The young man said, “This matter is very strange, as if he has no father.”
　　“Let Zhuque check this matter. Tell her that she must find out who Ye Qiu’s father is！” Cao Yuan ordered.
　　“Yes！”
　　Cao Yuan asked again, “Where are the bodies of those brothers？”
　　“I stored them in the freezer and planned to take them back to the capital for cremation after the matter in Jiangzhou is over.” the young man said.
　　“Send them back to the capital for cremation immediately. Also, give each of their families two million in pensions.”
“Housekeeper, according to the rules, each family can only receive a maximum of one million in pensions.”
　　“The extra one million will be paid by me personally.” Cao Yuan said： “They died to protect me, and I can’t treat their families unfairly. Do as I said.”
　　“Yes！”
　　Cao Yuan closed his eyes.
　　The young man wanted to speak but stopped.
　　“Ask whatever you want to ask！” Cao Yuan said lightly.
Master, there is a question I don’t understand. Clearly, you already know that the murderer who assassinated you is from the Witch God Sect. Why do you still want Ye Qiu to pursue the murderer? the young man asked puzzled.
　　Cao Yuan opened his eyes and smiled： “Don’t you think Ye Qiu is a talent？”
The young man suddenly realized and said: “I understand.” Master, you want to test Ye Qiu?
　　“A child can be taught！” Cao Yuan then instructed： “Erase the traces of the murderer and don’t provide any help or information to Ye Qiu.”
If we do this, then it will be very difficult for Ye Qiu to find the murderer. The young man then said: “Master, you only gave Ye Qiu three days. If he can’t find the murderer by then, will you really kill the Dragon King?”
“Yes. If Ye Qiu can’t find the murderer, then the Dragon King must be killed.” Cao Yuan said, I’m the Dragon Gate. If even I don’t keep my promise. how can I command the 100,000 brothers of the Dragon Gate? Besides, a dying person has no value anymore.”
“A dying person?” The young man was puzzled.
　　Cao Yuan said, “The Dragon King has been poisoned by the Gu for many years and is about to die.”
　　So that’s how it is.
The young man continued, “the assassins, last night, five of the assassins who tried to kill you were killed on the spot. two were killed by Han Long, and the remaining one escaped after wounding Han Long.”
　　“Investigate！ Find this guy for me！”
“Yes.” The young man continued, “Master,” the Witch God Sect has sent people to assassinate you several times. Should we take action against them?
　　Cao Yuan’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly, “It’s not time to take action against them yet. After I pacify the world, I will deal with them. At that time, no matter if it’s the Witch God or the God of Plague, I will wipe them out together.”
　　……
　　In　the　courtyard.
It was not until Cao Yuan left that the Dragon King and Zhao Yun got up from the ground. Their faces were pale, and the terror in their brows had not dissipated.
　　Ye Qiu was no better. The clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat.
　　The Dragon King sighed and said, “Little Ye, you shouldn’t have come today. I’m already a dying person. It doesn’t matter if I die earlier or later. Although you saved my life, you also implicated yourself. It’s not worth it.”
　　Ye Qiu said to the Dragon King, “You must not say that. Last night in the Crystal Palace, you and Brother Zhao challenged Xiao Qingdi for my sake, and you were also injured. Compared with the help you gave me, what I did is simply insignificant.”
　　”Anyway, I owe you another favor. Thank you.” The Dragon King said gratefully.
　　Zhao Yun also said, “Ye Qiu, I have decided to make friends with you. In the future, if you have anything, just come to me. No matter it is a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I will not hesitate.”
　　The smile on Ye Qiu’s face converged, and he said, “To completely solve this matter, we still have to find the murderer.”
　　”Leave this matter to me. I will arrange for someone to find the murderer immediately.” Zhao Yun said, “Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find the murderer.”
　　”You think too simply. The murderer is not so easy to find.” The Dragon King said.
　　Suddenly, both Ye Qiu and Zhao Yun turned their eyes to the Dragon King.
The Dragon King then said, Think about it. The Ninth Thousand-Year-Old is the Dragon Gate. There are many masters around him. It is difficult for ordinary people not to mention assassinating him, but even to get close to him. And last night, the murderer killed several of his bodyguards and almost killed his adopted son. What does this mean? It means that the murderer is not only highly skilled, but also probably has a great background. It is extremely difficult to find the murderer within three days.”
　　Zhao Yun said, “But we can’t not look for it. If we can’t find the murderer within three days, you will die, and Ye Qiu will also have to cut off an arm.”
　　“I just said it’s not easy to find the murderer, not that we don’t look for it.” The Dragon King looked at Ye Qiu with a complicated expression in his eyes and sighed. “Little Ye, actually you shouldn’t have promised the conditions of the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old earlier.”
　　“Why？”
　　“You could have safely been your doctor, saving lives and healing the wounded. And with your medical talent, you will surely become a generation of divine doctor in the future. But you promised the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old to find the murderer, which means that from this moment on, you have to step into the rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are full of sword lights and shadows, and it’s not a good place！”
　　“Dragon King, what do you mean by that？” Ye Qiu didn’t understand.
　　The Dragon King said, “Do you still remember what the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old said？ He said that in this world, as long as he wants to investigate, there is nothing he can’t find out.”
　　Shock appeared on Ye Qiu’s face, and he asked, “You mean that the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old already knows who the murderer who assassinated him is？”
　　“That’s　for　sure.”
　　“Then why does he still want me to find the murderer？” After asking this sentence, Ye Qiu suddenly had a realization and said, “He is testing me？”
　　“Hmm.” The Dragon King nodded slightly.
　　Only then did Ye Qiu understand why Cao Yuan said that he hoped not to disappoint him when he left. It turned out that he was testing himself.
　　If I find the murderer, will I pass the test？
　　Then after passing the test, how will Cao Yuan treat me？
　　Let me join the Dragon’s Gate？
　　Forget it, whether it’s a test or not, let’s find the murderer first.
　　Thinking of this, Ye Qiu asked the Dragon King, “Where was His Highness the Ninth Prince assassinated last night？”
　　”Bright Hotel.”
　　”I only have three days. There’s no time to lose. Let’s go to the scene now.”
