"You."
Lin Ao didn't expect Li Feng to turn the tables on him, and glared angrily. Naturally, Li Feng was not intimidated and looked directly at Lin Ao.
"Am I wrong?"
"The ongoing rivalry between you and Lu Ziyue is sothing anyone can see. Isn't it true that the person most eager for sothing to happen to Lu Ziyue is you?"
"And one more thing, I'm very curious about where all the rumors in town are coming from, and why they are all targeted at ."
"If there's nothing fishy about this, ha."
After speaking, Li Feng directly turned to look at Lu Ziyue's father: "Uncle, I've said all I have to say. I believe the Family Head and the elders should have a sense of right and wrong."
"If everyone unanimously believes that Lu Ziyue's disappearance is related to , Bai Yutang, then I have nothing more to say."
"As for how to handle it, feel free to decide."
Li Feng clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, displaying a deanor that showed he was ready for anything.
Lin Ao stood to the side watching Li Feng's counterattack. He never expected this Bai Yutang not only dared to retaliate but did so fiercely.
Lin Ao also noticed the gazes of the elders in power and felt a bit panicked inside: "Family Head, elders, Lu Ziyue's matter truly has nothing to do with , and I only realized his disappearance in the past two days."
"And the reason for suspecting Bai Yutang is because he has been acting strangely...!"
"Enough."
At this mont, an elder sitting at the highest position interrupted Lin Ao's words. This elder was the Third Elder, the grandfather of both Lin Xiong and Lin Ao.
Clear judgnt, indeed.
Since entering, Bai Yutang has been neither arrogant nor timid, logical and clear, while the performance of his own grandson was like night and day.
You accuse Bai Yutang of being the culprit, but where is the evidence?
Just based on those few suspicions ntioned by this youngster, they can't be counted as evidence. As for what's called strange, isn't it strange not to strike back when you're bullied, and striking back makes you unusual?
It seems so rumors are truly unreliable.
Lin Ao looked at his grandfather who had interrupted him and felt bitter. He knew he had ssed up.
Lu Yun glanced at Lin Ao and knew that relying solely on Lin Ao's words couldn't do anything to Bai Yutang, especially since Bai Yutang's statents were not without reason.
But looking at it this way, his son's death has beco an unsolved case, and now there's not even a trace of Lu Ziyue. If it is really as the other side said, that his son went to Dragon Scale Lake for hunting, he might have already t a watery grave.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Yun suddenly turned around: "Family Head, regarding my son's disappearance, the Lu Family will continue to investigate. We must uncover the truth."
Sitting at the top, Lin Dong nodded.
"Yes, Ziyue's death naturally cannot go unresolved. Elder Lu, feel free to investigate thoroughly, no matter who it involves, I will give you an explanation."
Upon hearing Lin Dong's statent, Lu Yun clasped his hands: "Family Head, please excuse to take my leave first."
Lu Yun left with Lu Ziqi.
"Then let's adjourn."
Lin Dong glanced at Li Feng, then got up and left. At this point, the other elders also stood up one after another.
The Seventh Elder stepped forward and glanced at Li Feng.
"You didn't let , Lin Luoyin, lose face. Co back with ."
"Yes, master."
Li Feng left the main hall with the Seventh Elder, but not long after they left, a figure blocked their way.
"Aunt."
It was Lin Changge blocking the way.
"Oh, it's Changge, is there sothing you need?"
Lin Changge looked at Lin Luoyin: "Aunt, your disciple embarrassed publicly. Shouldn't he give an explanation?"
"Oh, and what kind of explanation do you want?"
Lin Luoyin spoke lightly.
Lin Changge glanced at Li Feng: "Aunt, since he is your disciple, I won't be too harsh on him. Just let him kneel and apologize, and slap himself a few tis. Considering your fondness for him, I'll let this go."
Lin Changge looked confident, as if his request was perfectly reasonable.
"Ha, it seems my reputation is quite high then."
Lin Luoyin mocked with a laugh.
"Bai Yutang."
"Yes, master."
Li Feng stepped forward.
"Apologize to the Young Master, but you can skip the kneeling. I believe I still have so respect around here."
Hearing Lin Luoyin's protective words, Li Feng stepped forward with clasped hands and said to Lin Changge: "Young Master, I offended you in the main hall earlier. If there's any offense, I ask for your magnanimity."
Lin Changge listened to Li Feng's apology, which lacked sincerity, and his face turned livid.
"Aunt, are you going to protect this Bai Yutang?"
Lin Luoyin lifted an eyebrow and glanced at Lin Changge: "He is my closed-door disciple. Surely you understand what a closed-door disciple signifies?"
"Are you hitting his face, or hitting mine? Are you perhaps thinking that since our Seventh Lineage is not populous, it's easy to bully?"
"Or is it that my temper has beco so good lately that anyone can co and throw their weight around on my head?"
"Lin Changge, if you want to suppress , you'll have to wait until you're in that position."
"Bai Yutang, let's go."
Lin Luoyin stepped forward, brushing past Lin Changge. Li Feng followed behind, giving Lin Changge a fleeting sneer as he passed.
This smile was naturally seen by Lin Changge, causing his eyelids to twitch and his fists to clench.
Following Lin Luoyin, they returned directly to Spirit Rhinoceros Pavilion, which was also the residence of the Seventh Elder.
Lin Luoyin lay down lazily on a couch, exuding an aura of grace and authority. Even though her figure was concealed by her attire, it still stirred one's senses.
"Master."
"My disciple, how did things go? The Lu Family didn't give you a hard ti, did they?"
Li Feng shook his head slightly.
"Hmm, do you think your master is just for show? Without any solid evidence, relying solely on one-sided words, what could they do to him? Where would the reputation of Spirit Rhinoceros Pavilion stand?"
Lin Luoyin snorted proudly.
"Don't worry about Lu Ziyue's matter; that kid might have gotten a whim and gone to Dragon Scale Lake. Otherwise, how could there be no trace of him?"
"The reason I called you here is that the once-a-decade Kunlun Sword Competition is approaching."
"Master, have the participants been decided?"
Gao Yuanyuan clearly already knew: "Can my junior brother also be brought along?"
"Hmm, our Seventh Lineage is already short on mbers, and we only originally planned to give you one spot. Since you've accepted him as your disciple, why not bring him along? After all, one sheep is to be herded, and so are two."
Lin Luoyin hadn't planned to bring Bai Yutang before, but his performance in the hall today changed her mind.
"Thank you, master."
Gao Yuanyuan happily bowed to Lin Luoyin.
"Okay, go on; I'm a bit tired."
Lin Luoyin waved her hand, wearing an expression of fatigue.
As they left Lin Luoyin's quarters, Li Feng turned to Gao Yuanyuan: "Senior Sister, what is the Kunlun Sword Competition?"
