Chapter 747 764: The Killer Appears Again
Right now, in the absence of a selected Sect Leader, the person in the Dark Night Sect with the most authority is Silver Moon, the senior sister of the Golden Leaf Sect Leader, and the senior of disciples like Qing Feng and Xia Yu!Upon inadvertently discovering this letter, the disciple immediately handed the memoir to Senior Silver Moon, the senior sister of the Golden Leaf Sect Leader. Silver Moon opened the memoir and glanced at it, finding that the content was not about anything else but the heir to the Sect Leader. The heir was not Qing Feng, but it was currently Xia Yuyi who was still lying in the hospital!
Lin Mu, upon learning this beside them, was also filled with surprise. He did not expect the Golden Leaf Sect Leader to pass the position of Sect Leader to Xia Yuyi. Of course, Xia Yuyi was still lying in the hospital and hadn't learned of this news yet. Silver Moon of the Dark Night Sect read the letter aloud in front of everyone, then announced that once Xia Yuyi's injuries have healed, the succession ceremony for the Sect Leader would be held!
Faced with this series of events, Lin Mu was quite confused!
"Could it be? Qing Feng might have an issue?" Lin Mu furrowed his brow and pondered, but upon thinking this, he immediately shook his head, "It can't be that coincidental!"
Now, Xia Yuyi suddenly became the heir to the Sect Leader position, so the funeral for the Golden Leaf Sect Leader must be attended. Yet, it can't be helped; thus, the funeral had to be postponed for a few days because Xia Yuyi's body hasn't recovered! Lin Mu rushed back to the hospital from the village, and Xia Yuyi still doesn't know this news!
"Brother Lin, you're here!" Xia Yuyi greeted Lin Mu.
"Yes, Yiyi, how is your recovery going?" Lin Mu asked.
"I've nearly recovered, and in another day or two, I can be discharged. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Brother Lin!" Xia Yuyi said with a smile.
Lin Mu nodded and sat down, "Yiyi, there's something I need to tell you."
"What is it?" Xia Yuyi asked.
"Your master was murdered this morning." Lin Mu said in a somewhat solemn tone.
Xia Yuyi was stunned for a moment before reacting, tears streaming down her face suddenly, "What exactly happened?"
"I don't know either. Your master died in the courtyard this morning, but upon my investigation, there were no external injuries, and after testing with silver needles, it was likely poisoned to death!" Lin Mu said.
"Who could have done this?" Xia Yuyi's eyes sparkled with tears, holding back her urge to cry immediately.
"I can't say for sure, but I suspect it's an insider from your Dark Night Sect!" Lin Mu said.
Lin Mu did not hide anything from Xia Yuyi, putting forward his own thoughts!
"How, how is that possible? The Golden Leaf Sect Leader treated everyone so well, how could anyone from the same sect kill her?" Xia Yuyi said incredulously.
"Yiyi, I don't believe it either, but aside from this explanation, there's no other theory that makes sense. You know the Golden Leaf Sect Leader best, who could quietly put her to death beside her? Without a trace of prevention? The likelihood would most certainly be someone from your sect, only someone close to the Golden Leaf Sect Leader would she be so careless against!" Lin Mu explained.
Xia Yuyi's eyes once again shed two streams of warm tears; the Golden Leaf Sect Leader always treated Xia Yuyi very well, like her own daughter. Xia Yuyi also always regarded the Golden Leaf Sect Leader as a mother!
This incident happening all of a sudden indeed made it difficult for Xia Yuyi to adapt, like losing her mother overnight! Even more heartbreaking than losing both parents! Let alone Xia Yuyi, even Lin Mu found it hard to adapt — a good person suddenly passed away!
"Yiyi, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. Today, while cleaning your master's room and preparing for the aftermath, I discovered a letter. The content of the letter is permitting you to inherit the position of Sect Leader of the Dark Night Sect!" Lin Mu said.
"What? Let me assume the position of Sect Leader, isn't it supposed to be Senior Qing Feng who should take the position of Sect Leader?" Xia Yuyi questioned.
"Originally, according to the rules, it should be Qing Feng taking on the position of Sect Leader, but that was in the absence of a testament of inheritance. Now since the letter states for you to take the position of Sect Leader, naturally Qing Feng is not involved!" Lin Mu explained.
"How can this be? I entered the sect later than Senior Qing Feng, and my qualifications are also less than hers. The position of Sect Leader should be hers. What qualification do I have to assume the position?" Xia Yuyi said.
"This is the instruction of the Golden Leaf Sect Leader's testament, and it's a formal matter, no room for alternatives. Once you've healed, you'll have to proceed with the succession ceremony!" Lin Mu said.
Xia Yuyi sighed; obviously, she wasn't delighted about assuming the position of Sect Leader of the Dark Night Sect; actually, to Xia Yuyi, whether to become the Sect Leader or not doesn't matter to her much. Xia Yuyi never had the heart to take on the Sect Leader role, and now the Golden Leaf Sect Leader actually passed this position to Xia Yuyi, which indeed puzzled her greatly!
Actually, for Xia Yuyi, whether to take on the position of Sect Leader or not doesn't matter to her much! Senior Qing Feng is undoubtedly the best candidate. In terms of martial arts skills and entrance time, by all means, Qing Feng excels. Why did the Golden Leaf Sect Leader decide to pass this position to Xia Yuyi? This is a matter worthy of deep contemplation!
In the evening, Lin Mu still spent time chatting with Xia Yuyi, and Qi Manlin had to work overtime and didn't come, but Zhou Xun and Xiong Xiaoxiao came together!
"Xiaoxun, Xiaoxiao, have you eaten yet?" Lin Mu asked.
"Not yet, maybe you could get us something to eat, we'll stay here and chat with Yiyi!" Zhou Xun said.
Lin Mu nodded, "Alright, I'll go and get something from outside the hospital. What would you like to eat?"
"Anything is fine!"
"Okay, you guys chat for now." Lin Mu said as he left the hospital room.
Exiting the hospital, Lin Mu went to a fast-food restaurant, first ordering two dishes for himself to eat, then packed meals for Zhou Xun and Xia Yuyi! After paying, Lin Mu walked out of the fast-food restaurant carrying the meals. Returning to the hospital, Lin Mu took the elevator and quickly arrived upstairs!
The moment he got upstairs, Lin Mu saw two men lying by the elevator door, motionless, apparently knocked out. Upon closer inspection, he confirmed they were none other than the Flying Dragon Sect minions placed here for Xia Yuyi's protection!
"Not good!" Lin Mu exclaimed silently and hurriedly ran towards Xia Yuyi's hospital room.
Arriving at Xia Yuyi's room, Lin Mu rushed forward and kicked the door open, and at that moment, a female dressed as a nurse, wearing a mask, held a surgical knife, aiming for Xia Yuyi lying on the hospital bed, while Zhou Xun and Xiong Xiaoxiao were already unconscious!
"Stop!" Lin Mu shouted angrily, lunging forward.
The female in nurse attire turned and, without having time to attack Xia Yuyi, brandished her dagger, attacking Lin Mu. Lin Mu sidestepped as the dagger in the woman's hand grazed across his chest!
The woman glanced at Lin Mu, without attacking again, and ran out towards the door!
