That point, Fang Yue had a lot to say about.

Because he had just fought those Li-level (Fierce-level) youkai (demonic entities) from the Black Moon organization.

If every one of those dark shadow youkai really possessed Li-level strength, then they might actually be able to kill these two princes.

After all, judging from the strength of the Fifth Princess, the princes' strength was probably around the Yun-level (Cloud-level).

Perhaps the First Prince and other special princes might have greater strength, but the strength of most princes should not differ much.

In that kind of situation, a Yun-level martial artist would have a very low chance of survival when facing the encirclement of a dozen Li-level youkai far stronger than humans.

However… the Seventh Prince's death still felt strange to Fang Yue.

He was someone even the Fifth Princess was wary of, yet he died so silently.

Fang Yue felt this matter was odd, but he couldn't figure out why.

In addition, although he had comforted You Sisi before leaving the You manor.

Judging from her reaction, she was still shaken.

Although You Sisi and the Seventh Prince didn't have that kind of romantic feeling between them, they were childhood sweethearts after all. Before Fang Yue, the 'suddenly appeared' one, came along, the Seventh Prince was her closest friend outside of her blood relatives.

The tragic death of her childhood sweetheart greatly affected You Sisi, which was why she was willing to obediently stay in the You manor and wait for news.

Before leaving the You manor, Fang Yue had even specially asked his tail, who was originally cultivating, to accompany and comfort You Sisi, before following You Xingchen to the Seventh Prince's mansion.

Since entering the game, Fang Yue had been dealing with youkai, so he had become accustomed to this kind of large-scale death event caused by youkai.

After examining more than a dozen corpses, he gained a better understanding of the unknown dark shadow youkai.

Judging from the condition of the corpses, the youkai that slaughtered the Seventh Prince's mansion used sharp, spike-like methods to create penetrating wounds, achieving a one-hit kill effect.

This kind of physical method was much easier to deal with than the [Wu Ren Gui] (Blade-less Youkai) [Zhong Ya Gui] (Pressure Youkai) he had seen before, more direct and simple.

Of course, it was also more effective in terms of lethality. Basically, all the corpses were pierced through the body by sharp objects and died on the spot.

Moreover, in addition to these fatal wounds, these dark shadow youkai also liked to… devour corpses.

Most of the corpses had signs of being bitten and eaten by youkai. When Fang Yue followed You Xingchen to the corpses of the Sixth Prince and Seventh Prince, the corpses of these two princes had indeed been gnawed to pieces, almost unrecognizable.

Fang Yue had never met the Sixth Prince before. He didn't expect that the first time he saw him, it would be a corpse, and one that was so disfigured that he couldn't even recognize his appearance.

"Take the bodies of the two princes back to verify their identities."

You Xingchen frowned and gave the order.

Uncle Xu next to him was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "That's not very appropriate."

The disposal of the Seventh Prince and Sixth Prince's bodies was a sensitive matter.

Because the location of the Seventh Prince's mansion, in terms of jurisdiction, belonged to [Lan Shan]'s territory.

According to the default rules between the four departments, whoever's territory an incident occurred in had the priority to handle it. After all, it would be embarrassing to have people from other departments clean up the mess in front of your own door.

However, the incident at the Seventh Prince's mansion was related to youkai, which was unrelated to [Lan Shan], who was in charge of personnel. Therefore, the Qing Si had legitimate reasons to handle the matter.

And taking away the corpses of the Sixth Prince and Seventh Prince… this matter would involve the affairs of [Zi Dian].

[Zi Dian], in a sense, was a special institution independent of the other three government organizations, completely serving the royal family.

The Sixth Prince and Seventh Prince were diamond-level VIP members of the royal family. If they died, [Zi Dian] would definitely want the bodies as well.

In short, all three parties had sufficient reason to handle the corpses of the Sixth Prince and Seventh Prince.

However, the Qing Si were the first to receive the news and the first to arrive at the scene.

Therefore, You Xingchen had temporary priority in handling the matter.

However, this matter involved too many things, and it had a hint of inviting trouble. Uncle Xu, who was relatively conservative, couldn't help but have some concerns.

However, under You Xingchen's tough stance, the Qing Si and the others prepared to take away the bodies of the two princes, leaving a portion of the people to maintain the scene.

"Uncle Xingchen, I have a question. These two princes are already dead, what's the use of us bringing back the bodies?"

You Xingchen didn't want to explain to Fang Yue at first, but he seemed to have thought of You Sisi's attitude, and he also thought that the Seventh Prince had already kicked the bucket. In that case, there was a high probability that Fang Yue would 'marry into' the You family.

He then softened his attitude and said lightly, "The bodies of the two princes are not just corpses, but also bargaining chips. Having them in our Qing Si's hands gives us the capital to negotiate with the other three departments. Even if we can't, and we have to send the bodies out in the end, we can still fight for benefits for the Qing Si, at most offending the people of the other three departments.

"However, our four government departments have been accumulating many feuds in their open and secret struggles over the years. One more debt won't break us.

"In addition… not all members of the Qing Si are combat personnel like us. Many scholars who have in-depth research on youkai can also become White Robes, Red Robes, and even Silver Robes of the Qing Si through their knowledge and merits! Taking the bodies back, I believe they will be able to research something."

Corpses don't speak, but a qualified coroner can use methods to make the corpses 'speak'.

Previously, Qing Chen helped Fang Yue solve these things. Without Qing Chen, his understanding of corpses was at most limited to lethality. He couldn't see anything else at all.

In addition to the corpses of the Sixth Prince and Seventh Prince, You Xingchen also had many corpses of ordinary servants taken away, prepared to be used for comparison.

Fang Yue discovered that under You Xingchen's slightly rough appearance, there was a delicate mind. It seemed that his ability to become the second-in-command of the You family was not entirely due to his strength alone.

You Xingchen and the others had just finished dealing with the corpses of the Sixth Prince and Seventh Prince, as well as the corpses of the others, and were about to take them out of the Seventh Prince's mansion when they ran into the [Lan Shan] team that had just arrived.

"Lord Xingchen, what a coincidence?"

The person leading the [Lan Shan] team was a woman wearing the clothes of a Second-Rank Blue Guard, with a fake smile on her face as she spoke to You Xingchen.

You Xingchen glanced at her and directly passed her by, ignoring her completely.

"Don't stop, go straight back to the You manor."

The people in the team, although they saw that their boss had a conflict with the Lan Shan people, still followed You Xingchen obediently. But…

"Stop for me!"

With a clang, the woman suddenly drew her sword. This action stunned the Lan Shan members behind her. They didn't react and looked at the woman in surprise, then at You Xingchen and the others, not daring to act rashly.

However, the Qing Si team still stopped.
