Chapter 386: A Huge Mistake (Part )
The chaos dissipated and the sky became bright.
The quiet Xianwang Mansion gradually woke up from sleep. After a while, the tranquility of the early morning was broken by a gradual noise. In the blink of an eye, there was a commotion outside, and the footsteps were hurried. The mansion suddenly became lively.
"Xun Yi! My scandal has been discovered. I'm dead! I'm dead..."
Luo Hongxuan's mood became more and more nervous with the noise outside. His eyes were filled with fear, his face was pale, and his body was trembling as he curled up in the quilt. He was extremely nervous.
"Don't panic, sir! I'll go out and see what's going on. You can rest here for a while..."
"Don't go!"
Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to turn around and leave, Luo Hongxuan suddenly jumped up from the bed, hugged Liu Xunyi around the waist, and pleaded with a trembling voice: "Xunyi, please don't leave! I... I don't want to be alone..."
Seeing Luo Hongxuan's miserable appearance, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel sympathy. He reached out and gently stroked his messy hair, comforting him: "Don't panic, sir. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here with you!"
"Xunyi, what should I do?" The tall and strong man looked like a lost and helpless child at this moment. He looked at Liu Xunyi with pleading eyes and his face looked extremely ugly.
"This..." At this moment, Liu Xunyi was also uneasy and speechless for a moment, and could only sigh silently.
"Bang bang bang!"
A sudden knock on the door immediately frightened the terrified Luo Hongxuan to death. He quickly got back into bed, curled up in the corner of the bed with his head covered, and dared not show up again.
Liu Xunyi felt helpless, and quickly restrained his emotions, and asked in a low voice: "Who?"
"It's me, Lin Fangda!"
"Big brother?"
Liu Xunyi quickly stepped forward, wanting to open the door to welcome the guests. However, Luo Hongxuan, who was hiding in the quilt, suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait!"
"Ok?"
"Outside...what if there are people from Kongtong Sect outside...what should we do?" Luo Hongxuan reminded tremblingly.
Liu Xunyi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then turned to the door and asked, "Brother, are you here alone?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"nothing!"
After opening the door, Lin Fangda, with an anxious look in his eyes, rushed in uninvited and forced the unsuspecting Liu Xunyi back into the room.
"Brother, you are..."
"Xun Yi, something big has happened!" Lin Fangda said impatiently, "Last night, the beloved daughter of the leader of Kongtong Sect was raped, and now the mansion is in chaos. Zhongli Mu and his wife were furious, and they beat up all the disciples who went to inquire about the reason, and ordered the Kongtong disciples to catch the real culprit. Right now, the people of Kongtong Sect have searched the mansion without the permission of the mansion master. They are aggressive and murderous, and there is no room for negotiation. They want to kill anyone who stands in their way, even Buddhas."
At this point, Lin Fangda's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he cursed loudly: "Damn it! I don't know which turtle bastard had the guts to do such a dirty thing in the Xianwang Mansion. The bastard, the flower thief, actually stepped into the territory of the Xianwang Mansion. He really doesn't know how to live or die. Let me catch him, and I will chop his filthy thing into pieces and feed it to the dogs!"
Liu Xunyi had no time to pay attention to Lin Fangda's rude remarks, and asked, "Master Zhongli and Madam Zhuang are both highly skilled in martial arts, how could someone sneak into his daughter's boudoir without anyone noticing?"
"It is said that someone released a smoke screen." Lin Fangda gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone was drunk at the banquet yesterday. They were already dizzy, and this is the territory of the Xianwang Mansion. The Kongtong Sect had no defense at all, so the thieves took advantage of the opportunity."
"This matter..." Liu Xunyi asked hesitantly, "Do you know who did it?"
"I don't know yet." Lin Fangda was filled with indignation and did not notice Liu Xunyi's abnormality. He answered on his own, "Miss Zhongli suffered greatly and has not woken up from the shock. Zhou Mu, a disciple of Kongtong Sect, went out to urinate in the middle of the night and was knocked unconscious from behind. Just now, when he was half-conscious, he vaguely saw a disheveled man hurriedly leaving. Since he did not see the man's face clearly, he could not determine the identity of the rapist."
"Oh……"
Liu Xunyi answered absentmindedly, which made Lin Fangda stunned. He asked suspiciously: "Xunyi, you don't look very good, why..."
"Dad and Mom... do they know about this?"
Before Lin Fang finished his big talk, a trembling voice suddenly came from the corner, which immediately scared the unprepared Lin Fang.
"who?"
"Shh, it's me!" Luo Hongxuan was worried that Lin Fang's loud shouting would attract people from Kongtong Sect, so he quickly stuck his head out.
"Hongxuan?"
Lin Fangda looked at the disheveled Luo Hongxuan in confusion, then looked at the troubled Liu Xunyi, and said blankly: "What are you doing..." As soon as he said this, his face suddenly changed, and the look he gave Luo Hongxuan and Liu Xunyi suddenly became weird, and he said in panic, "You two... don't have a homosexual fetish, do you?"
"Brother, stop talking nonsense!" Liu Xunyi said bitterly, "In fact, it was the young master who..."
He stopped talking abruptly in the middle of his words, leaving Lin Fangda completely confused.
"Lin Fangda, do my parents know...that Miss Zhongli was humiliated?" Luo Hongxuan had no intention of explaining and asked anxiously, "If they knew, how would they react?"
“How could I not know?” Lin Fangda sneered, “After this incident, not only the mansion master and his wife, but even the guests in the mansion know about it. The mansion master has made a promise to Kongtong Sect that he will find the real culprit and punish him severely, and give Miss Zhongli justice!”
"It's over!"
Hearing this, the blood in Luo Hongxuan's body instantly turned cold, his heart was dead, and his face turned pale.
"You guys are..." Lin Fangda's eyes were filled with confusion, "What's going on?"
"To be honest, the person who defiled Miss Zhongli last night..." Liu Xunyi confessed reluctantly, "was none other than you, young master."
"what?"
"Shh!" Lin Fang's voice was as loud as a bell, which scared Luo Hongxuan so much that his scalp numbed. He quickly hushed, "Why are you shouting? Do you want to kill me?" "This... this..." Lin Fang was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Suddenly, there was a chaotic and noisy sound of footsteps in the courtyard. Then, Liao Chuan and Liao Hai, who had just woken up from their dream, rushed out of the wing room and stopped the murderous uninvited guests.
"Who are you? This is the residence of Liu Xunyi, the leader of Jingmen. Outsiders are not allowed to barge in..."
"Let everyone inside come out. We are going to search every room!"
"How dare you! The Sect Master is still drunk, how can I allow you to do whatever you want?"
"Get away! Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
"How dare you! Who the hell are you? How dare you act so wildly here!"
"I am Xun Zaishan, a disciple of Kongtong Sect. If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"
"What if I don't let you?"
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"
Along with a burst of loud noises as fierce as fire and water, the sounds of swords being unsheathed came one after another, shocking Liu Xunyi and Lin Fangda, whose faces changed drastically at the same time.
"No matter what, we are in the wrong in this matter. We must not conflict with the people of Kongtong Sect again!"
Liu Xunyi made a prompt decision, hurriedly gave a few instructions to the bewildered and frightened Luo Hongxuan, and then walked out the door quickly. Lin Fangda, who didn't know the truth, hesitated for a moment, and then chased after him with a steel knife in hand.
The wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, and the sky is blue.
At this moment, Liu Xunyi's courtyard was filled with people carrying swords and knives. One group was the Kongtong Sect disciples led by Xun Zaishan, and the other group was the Jing Sect disciples led by Liao Chuan and Liao Hai who had rushed over after hearing the news.
The two sides were on the verge of a fight, neither side would give in. They were staring at each other with fierce eyes, and the situation seemed to be about to explode.
"What are you doing?"
Liu Xunyi's loud shout immediately boosted the spirits of those who were eager to try.
"Master, they..."
"Put away all your weapons!" Before Liao Hai could explain, Liu Xunyi interrupted him sternly, "The Kongtong Sect is the Palace Master's distinguished guest, how can you be so unruly?"
"This……"
"Put it away!" Liu Xunyi didn't give the Liao brothers a chance to explain. His eyes turned cold and he asked in a cold voice, "Do you want to rebel?"
"Yes……"
Seeing that Liu Xunyi had made up his mind, the disciples of Jingmen did not dare to argue. Under the cold gaze of the Kongtong disciples, they angrily sheathed their swords.
Pushing through the crowd, Liu Xunyi came to Xun Zaishan and bowed, saying, "It's you, Senior Brother Xun. I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you are well!"
"Liu Xunyi, I'm not in the mood to get close to you today." Xun Zaishan said coldly, "I'm under the order of my master to search every room and yard for the thief who bullied my young lady. Get out of the way if you know what's good for you, don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit!"
"What did you say?" Lin Fang's eyes widened and he shouted angrily, "What kind of place is this? How can you just barge in and search as you please? It's fine if I let you search Disciple Chang's room, but this is the bedroom of the Master of Jing Sect. If I let you go in and search, where will Master Liu save his dignity?"
Facing Lin Fangda's rebuke and Liu Xunyi's hesitation, Xun Zaishan neither refuted nor got angry. Instead, he pointed his extremely sharp sword directly at Liu Xunyi, and said in a cold and firm voice: "Either let us in now, or kill you and then go in, or you kill all the Kongtong disciples. Master Liu, make your own choice!"
"Brother Xun, please calm down! I deeply sympathize with what happened to Miss Zhongli, and I hate the culprit." Liu Xunyi said earnestly, "But the truth of the matter has not yet been found out. It is a bit... abrupt for you to lead people to search the Xianwang Mansion. Why don't we report this matter to the Northern Xianwang together? I believe he will give Kongtong Sect and Miss Zhongli a satisfactory explanation."
"Satisfied?" Xun Zaishan was furious, his eyes were red with hatred, and his tone was even more gloomy and frightening. "How can I be satisfied? My young lady suffered a great humiliation in the Xianwang Mansion, and the woman's innocence was ruined. Do you think the Xianwang Mansion can get rid of it? We came here at the invitation of Luo Tianjin, but we got into trouble in your territory. The rapist deserves to die, but you people in the Xianwang Mansion deserve to die even more. If you hadn't drunk us yesterday, how could we have been trapped by the smoke without the gods and ghosts knowing? If I didn't trust you in every way, how could the young lady live in the guest room you arranged without any precautions? Unexpectedly, you treat the friendship of fellow travelers as worthless. Xianwang Mansion is so big, but it can't even protect the guests. What else can you do? Where is your impregnability? Where are the guards? If it wasn't my young lady who was defiled last night, but the eldest lady of Xianwang Mansion, how would you stay calm?"
Xun Zaishan cursed Luo Ningyu, which made Lin Fangda furious. He said viciously: "Xun Zaishan, one thing is one thing, what's the point of you saying all this nonsense?"
"What?" Xun Zaishan said angrily, "Kill me if you dare! Madam said that this must have been done by someone from the Xianwang Mansion, because only you can bypass all the guards, spread the smoke and sneak into the lady's room without anyone noticing."
"The truth has not yet been found out. How can you say that it was done by our people?" Liu Xunyi hesitated, "Maybe... maybe the culprit is someone else, and this is just a misunderstanding..."
“It’s not a misunderstanding!”
Before he finished speaking, a dry and hoarse voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard. Then, Zhongli Mu, with a gloomy face and sharp eyes, strode into the courtyard accompanied by Zhou Mu and other Kongtong disciples.
"Meet Master Zhongli..."
"Liu Xunyi, Wanying is awake, and the identity of the rapist has been revealed!"
Zhongli Mu, who has always been unruly and cynical, had an unprecedentedly vicious attitude, a cold voice, and a stern expression today.
Liu Xunyi didn't dare to look directly into Zhong Limu's murderous eyes, and asked tremblingly: "Who... is it?"
"See for yourself!"
With a roar, Zhongli Mu threw a pair of brocade boots in front of everyone. Liu Xunyi recognized the owner of the boots, it was Luo Hongxuan.
"Liu Xunyi, don't tell me you don't recognize this thing?" Zhong Limu's eyelids twitched violently due to anger as he spoke. "Not only do I know the identity of the thief, I also know where he is hiding."
After saying that, Zhong Limu suddenly pointed at the tightly closed door behind Liu Xunyi and said without letting anyone else argue: "You are a rapist who is sheltering a rapist, and you should be punished! If you know what's best for you, hand over Luo Hongxuan immediately, or I will kill you all without sparing a single one!"
