Inside a residence in Buwa Village, it was a somewhat dilapidated house. The lower half was built from piled stones, while the upper half was made of wood. It was warm in summer and cool in winter.
The crude residence could be described as having nothing but bare walls: a black-and-yellow wooden table, two wooden stools with broken legs, and a severely worm-eaten bed that seemed ready to collapse at any moment.
On that bed, which could collapse at any moment, a middle-aged man with a full beard was sleeping soundly. He seemed to have worked all day; a little damp soil still clung to the hoe in the corner.
The stench of sweat filled the room. Combined with the middle-aged man's loud snores, everything about him suggested a single farmer who had labored all day.
If Su Xiao had not received accurate information, even if this farmer had walked right past him, he would never have connected the man to the little princess's murder.
There were only two possibilities. Either Yierduo had lied, or this "farmer" was far too good at disguise.
"Mm~"
The sleeping farmer scratched his face, smacked his lips, then turned over and continued sleeping. He looked utterly blissful.
According to the information provided by Yierduo, the mastermind, Luper, had little combat ability. His status among the undead was not low, but his abilities were poorly suited to battle. His strengths lay in his intelligence and talent for planning.
If this farmer really was Luper, then his ability to scheme was terrifying. Though he was not in the Royal Capital, he had thrown the Royal Family into chaos. If not for the old king's exceptional adaptability in the banquet hall, his plan would already have succeeded.
Su Xiao gently pushed open the wooden window.
Creak~
