Chapter 21 - 19 The Wickedness of Human Heart_1
But he was somewhat puzzled. Wasn't this person at the Martial Palace? How did he receive the news so quickly?
Staring intently at Qin Feiyang, Cao Lang said in a deep voice, "My father wouldn't possibly tell you these things. Did you torment him before his death?"
Qin Feiyang was perplexed. "Torment?" he repeated, shaking his head. "I burned down the Black Demon Fort, and I also killed the others. But your father's death had nothing to do with me. This object can prove it."
With that said, he took out the Jade Pendant.
Cao Lang's eyes widened in surprise. "How is it in your possession?"
Qin Feiyang tossed the Jade Pendant over, saying, "Your father gave it to me before his death to pass on to you."
Cao Lang caught it, lowered his head, gazing unblinkingly at the Jade Pendant, a pang of sorrow in his eyes. After a moment, he put away the Jade Pendant, looked up at Qin Feiyang, and said, "This Jade Pendant has been passed down in my family. Although it's not a treasure, it has great significance to me. My father wouldn't have easily given it away. Him giving it to you indicates that his death truly has nothing to do with you."
Qin Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief.
Cao Lang bowed, pleading, "You must know how my father died. Please, you have to tell me."
Qin Feiyang replied, "He was ambushed and killed by an old man in black."
Cao Lang frowned. "An old man in black?"
