As soon as the Seventh Elder spoke, it represented that Li Feng was not alone, and all the Elders present looked at Li Feng with newfound respect.
After all, daring to confront the Young Master Lin Changge head-on, while facing Lu Yun's aggressive pressure, and yet remaining composed—the re strength of character is extraordinary.
He indeed has the style of his father.
Bai He is a distinctive character, and he never acts based on others' opinions, while possessing exceptional talent, ranking among the top five masters within the Mountain Villa.
Moreover, Bai He shows no interest in forming alliances or building power; he just travels around leisurely with his wife.
But precisely because of this, thinking Bai He easy to bully would be a grave mistake.
Compared to the Lu Family, the Family Head undoubtedly prefers people like Bai He, since such individuals will not threaten the status and power of the Lin Family.
But the Lu Family is different, it has ford into a major force outside the Lin Family.
The Lin Family is not one of the Three Sects and Six Gates; it leads the Ten Great Families of Ancient Martial Arts, and while it allows other surnas within its ranks, these external nas must not threaten the company's status.
Lu Yun snorted, also surprised that Bai Yutang was so steadfast and assertive, having originally thought that under his pressure, the young man would show fear, or even be at a loss.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yutang was calm and eloquent, even ntioning his father Bai He, and not hesitating to point out the Seventh Elder.
I am your closed-door disciple.
Even if the Seventh Elder dislikes Bai Yutang, he couldn't let soone slap him in the face like this; if he said nothing and let go of the matter, the Seventh Elder's reputation would be at stake later.
Lu Yun raised his hand and released Li Feng: "It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin."
"My son previously was close to you, following you everywhere, but suddenly went missing, yet you don't inquire about it; isn't that suspicious?"
"To , for you to react this way, there are only two points: First, my son's death is tied to you; Second, you know sothing but chose to keep it hidden, afraid of being implicated."
"Additionally, when my son was missing, soone once saw you erging from the lake."
"My daughter also told she once asked you, and you said my son ntioned wanting to hunt Dragon Scales, is it not?"
"Hmm, Dragon Scales are ancient fierce beasts, violent in nature, many have died at their hands; would my son venture there alone?"
"Perhaps you were there too, but when danger arose, you used my son as a shield, causing him to die, and you escaped?"
Li Feng looked calmly at Lu Yun, listening to the reasons, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Just this?
Wanting to bring up accusations.
Ignoring the lack of crucial evidence, just based on hearsay, though the guesses were seven to eight percent correct, on that day, not only did Lu Ziyue perish, but even Bai Yutang did not evade it.
"Uncle, is this the reason for your suspicion?"
"Simply ridiculous."
"When did being close to Ziyue beco a cri? If that's the case, there's not less than eighty disciples close to him, showing him utmost respect, why not question them?"
"Furthermore, I did tell Sister Lu that Ziyue ntioned hunting Dragon Scales, but I said 'maybe,' and I wasn't certain, only that Sister asked , so I brought it up as a clue."
"How did this beco evidence of my guilt in Uncle's eyes?"
"Moreover, Lin Ao saw at the lakeside; I indeed went to the lake since I suddenly found Ziyue missing, thus speculating that he might have gone hunting, considering his impulsive nature."
"He might have done it for Lin Wan'er."
"Yet, I gained nothing from that visit, just thought maybe he went sowhere, intending to return, and perhaps turn around and see Ziyue."
After speaking, Li Feng turned to look at Lin Ao.
"And Lin Ao, many elders suspect based on his words, isn't that a significant reason?"
"Lin Ao said he saw at the lakeside, wanting to bully as usual, but I fought back."
"Oh, maybe I shouldn't have fought back since I'm used to keeping a low profile in the Outer Sect, always being accommodating to people and situations, as my Bai Family is weak, my parents unreliable, and I'm alone, trying to avoid causing trouble."
"But being benevolent, I am seen as weak."
"Thinking I fought back, he bore a grudge, when I returned to the town, Lin Ao ca with his gang."
"Then, Lin Ao was too bullying, forcing to kneel and beg, and with won present, granted not full asure, insisting on stepping on ."
"On usual days, with Lu Ziyue around, he'd help fend them off, and I didn't care; thus, that day, I fought back again, even revealing so Sword Control Technique foundational skills."
"Returning ho, not yet going to find Ziyue, Lin Xiong's challenge ssage arrived, forcing to accept."
"What happened after wasn't secret, after my fight with Lin Xiong, narrowly winning, my sister Gao Yuanyuan brought to the Sword Wall, amazed by my strength, wanting to test ."
"Consequently, I challenged the Sword Wall Trial, narrowly passing."
"At the ti, the Seventh Elder was present, and seeing my worth, tested , seeing as a prodigious talent, thus accepting ."
"Nonetheless, injured and exhausted post-Sword Wall trial, I had to recuperate, Lukas' matter delayed, and after recovering sowhat, went for the Outer Sect Trial day, only to be blocked by Lin Ao again."
"Threatening then, saying Lu Ziyue's disappearance had links with , though not where it hurt, already a closed-door disciple, he dared not act."
"Confused, upon entering town, Sister Lu approached , told of rumors linking my sudden show of strength and closed-door disciple status as odd, connecting to Ziyue's disappearance."
"As ridiculous as it is, Ziyue's disappearance ties to my showing strength, is there so 'Absorption Star Technique' absorbing spiritual power?"
"Even if it exists, Ziyue is only an Outer Sect disciple, hasn't even opened a Divine Acupoint."
After Li Feng's persuasion, so Elders indeed felt it was far-fetched, with Li Feng's narrative connecting seamlessly.
Lin Ao saw several Elders nodding, alerted as Li Feng's words pointed to intentionally targeting.
"Why did you go to the mountain during the Outer Sect entrance assessnt?"
"At the town entrance, not seeing Ziyue, asking around learned of his absence, so went to the mountain, a place Ziyue liked, ideal for sword practice."
"But found nothing."
After Li Feng spoke, shaking his head: "Actually, knowing Ziyue's days of missing, guessing he'd t trouble, yet reasons unknown, Ziyue now isn't to be found dead or alive."
"But linking his disappearance with , Bai Yutang isn't convinced; more suspicious than I, Lin Ao should be considered, as everyone in the Outer Sect knows their adversarial stance."
"Can't it be a thief calling to catch a thief, framing , Lin Ao's background, even if lying to death, what can I do, as he sees as rootless groundless?"
Li Feng didn't passively endure, directly counterattacking.
