"Second Elder, your promising disciple is still full of surprises, to think he would do such a thing." Fourth Elder suddenly stepped forward and said, "But fortunately, the police haven’t found any connection between this incident and our Dragon Group. If they did discover it, I don’t think even ten of you could remedy it." The Fourth Elder’s words caused everyone present to focus their gaze on the Second Elder. Elder Su and Fourth Elder were like birds of a feather, having long harbored displeasure towards the Second Elder. In the eyes of the Second Elder, everything was about balance, but he was extremely partial to Long Ang over Long Jiu. This made them have to suspect that it was because Long Ang was the favored disciple of the Great Elder, and the Second Elder was trying to curry favor by actively pleasing him. Normally, in some matters, the Second Elder would never yield, which made their resentment towards him grow deeper and deeper. Now that the Second Elder’s disciple has made a mistake, they naturally wouldn’t miss the chance to ridicule him. The Second Elder remained silent, because no matter what he said now, it would be wrong. He looked at the corpse on the ground with great sorrow; this was his favorite disciple, known for being honest and sincere, yet he could never have expected him to do something . Long Shiyi’s corpse hadn’t closed its eyes even now, he gently squatted down and closed them for him. The Second Elder sighed, saying it didn’t pain him would be a lie. "People, take Long Shiyi’s body out and bury it." The Second Elder instructed. Long Yi and Long Er quickly stepped forward, picked up Long Shiyi’s body, and as they passed by the Second Elder, he suddenly noticed a mark on Long Shiyi’s neck. This mark was unmistakably a choking mark. The Second Elder narrowed his eyes slightly; although he was a straightforward person, he was also very intelligent. In his heart, he never believed Long Shiyi would do such a thing. So when he saw the mark on Long Shiyi’s neck, a thought suddenly occurred to him, which was that Long Shiyi was being framed. But now, in front of Elder Su and Fourth Elder, he couldn’t say much and had to temporarily suppress the thought. The Second Elder followed Long Yi and Long Er outside, instructing them, "First store Long Shiyi’s body in the ice cave, remember, don’t let anyone know, understand?" Long Yi and Long Er understood the Second Elder’s character, and they nodded in agreement, "Got it." As soon as the Second Elder finished speaking, Elder Su and Fourth Elder came up from behind. "I say, Second Elder, you wouldn’t just want this to end here, would you?" "Yeah, this matter concerns the reputation of the Dragon Group." Typical of Elder Su and Fourth Elder wanting to make things difficult for him, yet the Second Elder refused to take the bait. "This matter hasn’t been fully resolved, and you’re sentencing someone based on a handkerchief? Isn’t that rather arbitrary?" "Do you know what the emblem on this handkerchief represents?" "It’s the unique insignia of the Black Widow. This handkerchief never appears lightly. Now it’s found on Long Shiyi, how do you explain it? Black Widow and Long Shiyi have no grievances, do you think if they weren’t colluding, the Black Widow’s handkerchief would appear here?" Elder Su was determined to place all the blame squarely on Long Shiyi. But this kind of behavior from Elder Su made the Second Elder suspicious. He snorted, "Elder Su, you keep saying Long Shiyi is conspiring with Black Widow, do you have evidence? Just based on a handkerchief? Do you think this handkerchief represents something? Or perhaps you have a guilty conscience?" Elder Su’s heart skipped a beat at the Second Elder’s questioning, he coughed lightly, his eyes dodging, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about. What guilty conscience could I possibly have?" "In any case, you need to give us an explanation for this matter. Even if Big Brother doesn’t pursue it, we elders will still pursue it." Elder Su snorted lightly and then left angrily. Fourth Elder, not aware of Elder Su’s guilty conscience, simply thought Elder Su was too disdainful to argue with the Second Elder, he approached the Second Elder and shook his head helplessly, "I say, Second Elder, you really trust people too much." Fourth Elder shook his head seemingly helplessly, but his eyes were full of mockery, as if he was waiting to watch the Second Elder make a fool of himself. Only after they all walked far away did the Second Elder slightly narrow his eyes, he took a deep breath, intending to go to the ice cave to take a look. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Long Changsheng walk out from the shadows. "Big Brother?" The Second Elder looked at him puzzled, he was there all along? And our conversation just now? He heard it all? Long Changsheng said expressionlessly, "I know what you’re thinking, and I also know Long Shiyi’s death is a heavy blow to you." "I..." The Second Elder sighed, "I really don’t believe Shiyi would do something like that." Long Changsheng raised his hand, patting his shoulder and said, "Go ahead and investigate, things aren’t as simple as they appear, Shiyi that child I know, he isn’t the kind of person with the guts to do such a thing." The Second Elder felt a lot more at ease with Long Changsheng’s permission. Fortunately, Big Brother still trusts him. "However, during the investigation, you have to be careful, do not let others exploit it." The Second Elder understood what he meant and nodded, "I understand, Big Brother." The Second Elder seemed to recall something, he worriedly asked, "Big Brother, about Long Ang..." "Long Ang, with a fierce temperament, was never truly one of us in the Dragon Group, just let him be." The Second Elder was stunned and then sighed, "But he joined the Ancient Martial Arts right after leaving, this is rather..." "As I just said, do not let others exploit it, what you hear may not be true, what you see may not be true, you need to investigate deeply."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Chu Ge, Huo Tianqian, and Long Ang left the warehouse without finding anything. Huo Tianqian looked at Long Ang, curiously asking, "Long Ang, that was your new Group Leader just now, right?" Long Ang nodded, "Yes, that was Long Jiu." "I noticed he had quite the hostility towards you, with you being with us, he might go back and tarnish your name." Long Ang laughed, his laughter very open, "No matter what I do, I do it with a clear conscience, I have done nothing to wrong the Dragon Group, I am who I am, don’t need to prove anything to anyone."
