Chapter 388: A Big Mistake (Part )

As the sun rises to noon, the noise gradually subsides.

At this moment, Liu Xunyi's courtyard was surrounded by Kongtong Sect disciples. Xun Zaishan stood outside the courtyard gate with his sword drawn, staring at Liu Xunyi and his companions who were helpless in the courtyard with his cold eyes.

Luo Hongxuan, whose injury had eased a little, sat down on the stone steps outside the door like a deflated ball, leaning against the door frame weakly. His eyes were empty and his face expressionless. He had no reaction to the consolation of others, as if he had lost his soul.

Ling Qing and Xu Heng sat on his left and right. They wanted to say something several times but stopped themselves, and finally sighed. There was an indescribable confusion and complexity on their faces.

Lin Fangda, who was upset, paced back and forth in the yard, stamping his feet and beating his chest from time to time, muttering to himself to vent his inner restlessness.

The Liao brothers and others, armed with knives and swords, lined up inside the courtyard gate, forming a confrontation with the Kongtong disciples outside the gate.

Liu Xunyi sat at the stone table in silence, his eyes wandering and his mind in disarray.

"No wait!"

Lin Fangda, who was furious, could no longer hold back his annoyance and shouted, "Sir, instead of sitting here and waiting to die, why don't you take the initiative to ask the lord for forgiveness?"

"Brother, do you think the mansion master doesn't know that the young master is here?" Liu Xunyi said with a wry smile, "The mansion master's mind is as clear as a mirror, but he is reluctant to show up. Because he hasn't come up with a proper countermeasure yet."

"Do I need to think about it?" Lin Fangda asked in surprise, "Of course, we must protect Hongxuan at all costs!"

"How can it be easy? How are we going to explain to Kongtong Sect if we save the young master?" Ling Qing asked back.

Lin Fang was stunned, hesitant and said: "What should we do? We can't hand Hongxuan over, right? The mansion master only has him as his son, so he can't let anything happen to anyone else."

"But something has happened to the young master." Xu Heng said helplessly, "It is impossible to let this matter go unsolved if he has violated the innocence of a woman, let alone the eldest daughter of Kongtong Sect, even if she is an ordinary woman."

"This..." Lin Fangda was scratching his head anxiously, but he couldn't think of any solution. Finally, he punched himself hard on the head and said angrily, "This won't work! That won't work! Am I just going to wait like this? It's so fucking frustrating!" After that, Lin Fangda glared and shouted, "No more waiting! I'm going to ask the mansion master for clarification."

"The disciples of Kongtong Sect have surrounded this place. Can you get out?"

"This is the Xianwang Mansion. I don't believe he dares to stop me..."

"Don't mess around!"

Liu Xunyi interrupted the argument and advised: "This matter is of great importance and has far-reaching implications. We must be extremely cautious in our every move and be careful not to cause complications."

"But……"

"Master Liu, Master Lin, Master Ling, Master Xu!"

Suddenly, Xunzhen's voice sounded from outside the courtyard, which lifted everyone's spirits.

"Xunzhen?" Liu Xunyi rushed out of the courtyard gate and asked excitedly, "But has the mansion master arrived?"

Xunzhen shook his head and said, "Lord Luo asked you to escort Young Master Luo to the back hall..."

"can not go!"

Before he finished speaking, Xun Zaishan suddenly blocked Xunzhen's way with his sword and said in a cold voice: "The head of the sect has ordered that Luo Hongxuan cannot go anywhere!"

"How dare you!" Lin Fang said angrily, "The Northern Sage King summoned the young master to meet him, how dare you stop him?"

"The Wise King of the North is your master, but not mine!" Xun Zaishan was as hard as stone and was not threatened at all.

"you……"

Xunzhen waved his hand to interrupt Lin Fangda's rebuttal, and turned to explain to Xun Zaishan: "If you don't let Young Master Luo go to the back hall to explain everything, how can Lord Luo give justice to Master Zhongli and Miss Zhongli? Every moment you delay here, your Master will have to wait a moment longer, and your Miss will suffer a moment more. I am only responsible for delivering the message, as for whether to let them go, it is up to you to decide."

"That's right!" Liu Xunyi continued, "Shicai, Sect Master Zhongli has already given in. Why does Senior Brother Xun have to press him? Palace Master Luo is not a god. If he doesn't ask him face to face about what happened last night, how can he find out the truth? How can he give a satisfactory explanation? I think you don't want Miss Zhongli to be humiliated and end up in a muddle."

As if he was shaken by Xunzhen and Liu Xunyi's words, Xun Zaishan hesitated for a moment before reluctantly nodding and saying, "You can go, but I have to lead others to follow you."

"what ever!"

Lin Fangda agreed impatiently, Ling Qing and Xu Heng quickly carried the distraught Luo Hongxuan, and the group walked towards the back hall in a mighty manner.

Outside the back hall, Su Tang stopped Xun Zaishan and told him that he could only monitor from outside the hall and could not enter. Xun Zaishan was indignant, but due to the majesty of the Northern Sage King and the current situation, he was forced to agree.

In the back hall, Luo Tianjin, with a livid face, sat at the table, burning with anger and saying nothing.

Ling Xiaoxiao, with a troubled look on her face, sat beside him, also looking annoyed, and said nothing.

At this moment, all the seven heroes of the Xianwang Mansion arrived and stood silently by, each of them hesitant and hesitant.

Luo Ningyu stood at the door feeling uneasy, not knowing how to comfort her for a moment.

The back hall was solemn and silent. An invisible, intangible, yet real oppressive atmosphere quietly permeated the air, making it almost impossible to breathe. "Master, the young master is here..."

"Come in!"

As soon as Su Tang finished his message, Luo Tianjin shouted, choking back the rest of his words.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by Liu Xunyi and others, the depressed and haggard Luo Hongxuan slowly appeared in front of Luo Tianjin with trembling steps.

"Meet the Palace Master..."

"You guys get out of the way and wait!"

Luo Tianjin interrupted Liu Xunyi and the others' greetings with an unfriendly tone, and pointed at Luo Hongxuan who was being supported by others, and scolded: "Don't you have bones?"

Faced with such an atmosphere, how could Liu Xunyi and the others dare to disobey? They all stepped aside, looking nervously at Luo Tianjin who suddenly stood up. Even if they wanted to smooth things over, they didn't dare to speak rashly at this moment.

Under Luo Tianjin's sharp gaze, Luo Hongxuan's legs softened and he fell to his knees with a plop. He trembled and called out softly, "Dad, my son..."

"Snapped!"

Before he could finish his words, Luo Tianjin suddenly raised his hand and slapped Luo Hongxuan hard. The sound was so loud that Xun Zaishan and others outside the hall could hear it clearly.

The slap was so powerful that it knocked the unsuspecting Luo Hongxuan to the ground. Blood gushed out of his mouth and nose, and five deep red fingerprints gradually appeared on his cheek.

"hiss!"

The sudden slap not only made Luo Hongxuan's head dazed, but also shocked the others in the hall. Ling Xiaoxiao and Luo Ningyu couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, and a trace of pity appeared in their eyes when they looked at Luo Hongxuan.

"I, Luo Tianjin, have lived for most of my life. What storms and waves have I not seen? But I have never been suppressed to the point of being unable to raise my head in my own home!" Luo Tianjin was furious and pointed at Luo Hongxuan who was crying and scolded, "I didn't expect that I would give birth to such an unfilial son like you, who did such a despicable and ugly thing. You ruined my reputation and humiliated my family. You are totally unscrupulous and worse than pigs and dogs!"

Having said this, Luo Tianjin became even angrier. He suddenly raised his foot and kicked Luo Hongxuan in the chest, knocking him over several times.

"enough!"

Ling Xiaoxiao felt sorry for her son, so she rushed forward and spread her arms to protect Luo Hongxuan. She said angrily, "Now that things have come to this, do you want to beat him to death? Xuan'er is our own flesh and blood, the only one who can continue the incense for your Luo family. If you beat him to death, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Luo family?"

"I would rather not have any descendants than let this beast ruin the reputation of the Luo family!" Luo Tianjin said coldly, "Madam, we also have a daughter, and we should put ourselves in the shoes of Sect Leader Zhongli. If this happened to Yu'er, how would you and I feel? Aren't you ashamed of an unfilial son committing a heinous crime?"

"I don't care!" Ling Xiaoxiao said stubbornly, "In short, whoever dares to touch my son, I will not let him go even if I become a ghost! Brother Jin, if you insist on killing Xuan'er, then kill me first!"

“You…” Luo Tianjin laughed in anger, repeatedly pointing at Ling Xiaoxiao who was eager to protect her son, and said angrily, “A loving mother often spoils her son! It’s because you have spoiled him since he was a child that he has become so bold and does whatever he wants… Alas!”

"Master, we all know the character of the young master. He is born with a chivalrous heart and has been upright and kind since childhood. How could he deliberately do something to insult someone's innocence?" Xie Xuan hesitated again and again, and took the lead in persuading, "This matter is extremely strange. It won't be too late to make a decision after finding Di Mo."

"what?"

Liu Xunyi was shocked when he heard this and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Hei Zhishan is not in the mansion?"

Deng Changchuan said: "When this happened, the Palace Master immediately sent me to look for Di Mo, but in the end... I came up empty-handed."

"All in vain?" Xunzhen frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully, "Master Deng Wu means... Di Mo ran away?"

"His room is clean, the bed is neatly arranged, and it seems that he has not returned home all night." Deng Changchuan nodded and said, "The young master was drunk and unconscious last night. What happened and how he entered Miss Zhongli's room, I am afraid... only Di Mo knows."

Liu Xunyi pondered and said, "Based on your description, would it be possible..."

"Not only that, someone spread smoke in the room of Master Zhongli last night, as if they were well prepared." Huang Yulang analyzed, "I guess this was most likely done by Di Mo."

"Impossible!" Luo Tianjin frowned, incredulous. "Di Mo has followed me for more than ten years and is loyal to me. How could he do such a thing?"

"Hei Zhishan has been unhappy and depressed lately. Could it be... related to this matter?" Ling Qing boldly speculated.

"In any case, I have sent people to track down Di Mo's whereabouts, hoping to find him before sunset." Deng Changchuan sighed, "If Di Mo is not found, Kongtong Sect will definitely not let you go."

Murong Bai said worriedly: "Even if we find Di Mo, I'm afraid Kongtong Sect will not let you go easily. After all, the person who hurt Miss Zhongli last night was..."

"Nonsense! If he had no evil thoughts in his heart, how could he act on impulse?" Luo Tianjin shouted angrily, "Ms. Zhongli is not an ordinary woman. She has practiced martial arts since she was young. Although she is not a master, she is definitely not mediocre. If the rebellious son really lost his mind, he would have been knocked unconscious by her palm. At the very least, he could have escaped from the room and shouted for help. How could he be defiled by him? This bastard knows how to use his martial arts to restrain Miss Zhongli, but he doesn't know how to restrain his own animal desires? It's not that he didn't have a choice last night, but that he didn't want to choose. He could have endured it temporarily, or even left Miss Zhongli's room on his own initiative, but he didn't!"

"Brother Jin, what exactly do you want to do by ridiculing Xuan'er?" Ling Xiaoxiao felt something was wrong the more she listened, and subconsciously asked, "Could it be..."

"That's right! I will hand this beast over to Kongtong Sect and let Sect Master Zhongli deal with him!"
