"Even if you kill them all, it will be of no use."
Mings suddenly interrupted, speaking slowly and deliberately, "Because it was not they who killed hero Guan, but you, Guan Tianfan!"
Guan Tianfan, whose face was initially filled with rage, now showed a hint of panic. "Ming Captain, what nonsense are you talking about? My father was shot dead by someone from the Acrobatic Troupe; everyone saw it. How can you falsely accuse me here?"
Mings abruptly opened Guan Ao's chest, the arrow still lodged within his body. Strangely, there were large areas of purplish-red bruises surrounding the wound.
Mings pointed at these bruises and said, "A regular arrow would only injure hero Guan at most; it wouldn’t be enough to take his life. When the arrow penetrated hero Guan's body, it would encounter the inner strength protecting his heart meridian, preventing him from dying. The real cause of hero Guan's death lies in a hidden force behind this arrow. These purplish-red bruises are a result of two forces colliding, completely shattering the blood vessels near the heart!"
Mings paused for a moment and walked down from the hall to stand beside the Red Robe Man, speaking indifferently. "Although he possesses extraordinary archery skills, he himself lacks inner strength; thus, that fatal inner force did not come from him. During the moment when the arrow flew into hero Guan's chest, the only person who had contact with the arrow was none other than you, young master. While it may have seemed that you recklessly risked your own safety to save your father’s life just now, the one who truly wanted him dead was you. Am I right, young master?"
Guan Tianfan suddenly began to laugh maniacally, looking at Mings and everyone in the hall. "Ming Captain, you are the smartest captain I have ever seen. Yes, I killed him; I killed my own father!"
"Elder brother, why did you kill father?" Guan Tianshe cried as she leaned over Guan Ao's side.
"Why? Hmph! Tian She, you should know what kind of life I've been living all these years!"
Guan Tianfan looked at his sister and continued, "For over twenty years, I've lived like a dog in Bu Dong Mountain Manor. As soon as father said a word or even just glared at me, I wouldn't dare to move an inch; I couldn't even breathe freely."
He then turned his gaze back to Mings. "Ming Captain, you might be curious. Just yesterday, my father was desperately pleading with you to clear my name of murder charges; you might think he cared about me as his son. But you're wrong—dead wrong!"
Guan Tianfan rolled up his sleeve to reveal a deep crimson wound that was shocking to behold. Mings couldn't help but ask, "What is this..."
Guan Tianfan gently touched the wound on his wrist and said, "This is the lesson my father left on me after you left yesterday. He crippled one of my hands simply because I embarrassed him in front of you. He has never cared for me; all he cares about is this Bu Dong Mountain Manor that has imprisoned generations of the Guan Family's lives and souls. This is my father, the so-called hero Guan you speak of. I have no other choice; if he doesn't die, I will eventually die at his hands!"
Tears streamed down Guan Tianfan's face as he continued, "Honestly, I don't want to kill him. But I am a person, not a beast. I am also his son; I need his love and care. If he could just show me even a fraction—no, even one percent—of the kindness he shows to Tian She and Tian Ming, I wouldn't harm him, let alone kill him."
Mings looked at Guan Tianfan and slowly said, "Perhaps your father treats Tian She and Tian Ming well because he feels indebted to them."
Guan Tianfan suddenly laughed coldly, "If it's about debt, then what he owes is definitely not just one or two people; it’s every single person in Bu Dong Mountain Manor! Every single one!"
Guan Tianshe looked at her elder brother with tears streaming down her face and murmured, "Brother, I know Father treats you poorly. I understand your pain and sorrow, but I have never been able to help you..."
"Don't blame yourself, Tian She. Have you ever felt good about this? To be honest, who has truly been happy in Bu Dong Mountain Manor? Everyone is suffering; every soul is being tormented, and no one can escape! Isn’t that right?" Guan Tianfan laughed once more.
Mings suddenly remembered Guan Tianfan's Puppet; the smile on its face was strikingly similar to that of Guan Tianfan at this moment.
