Chapter 618: Changes in the Armpits (Part )

"boom!"

The sky was getting bright, and a loud noise instantly broke the tranquility of Prince Xian's Mansion, and also woke up the sleeping disciples of the lower three sects.

"what happened?"

"what sound?"

"Quick! Put on your clothes and go out and take a look!"

……

Accompanied by a lot of noisy chatter, the disciples from the lower three sects rushed out of the room to find out what was going on.

Xu Heng and Ling Qing were the first to rush forward. They jumped out of bed immediately after hearing the noise. Without even having time to change their clothes, they rushed to the front of the yard barefoot, with their weapons in hand.

At this moment, the two tightly closed courtyard doors had been knocked open by brute force. One of the doors was even off its hinges and was about to fall, which showed how huge the force that had just hit the door was.

Seeing this, Xu Heng and Ling Qing were shocked at first, then flew into a rage, and rushed out of the door cursing.

"Who the hell..."

However, before Xu Heng could curse, he swallowed the curse words back.

At this moment, dozens of disciples of the Xianwang Mansion holding knives and swords were standing in a neat row outside the courtyard gate. The leader had a livid face and was full of hostility. It was Xie Xuan.

Looking at Xie Xuan and then at the messy gate, Xu Heng and others could not help but look at each other and were speechless.

The arrogance just now disappeared without a trace in an instant, and all that remained was surprise and confusion.

"Thank... Thank you, Second Master?" Xu Heng said in disbelief, "What are you doing..."

"Where is Liu Xunyi?"

"Ah?" Xu Heng seemed not to understand what Xie Xuan meant. He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked towards the east courtyard.

"It's still early, Hei Zhishan should be sleeping in his room." Seeing Xie Xuan's unhappy face, Ling Qing suddenly realized that something was wrong with today's situation. In order to avoid exacerbating the conflict, he quickly replied, "I'll pass it on right away..."

"no need!"

Before he finished speaking, Xie Xuan swung his palm violently, and the powerful energy shook away Xu Heng, Ling Qing and other disciples who were blocking the gate, and then he led his men into the East Courtyard at a rapid pace.

The people who were caught off guard scattered in all directions, rubbing their numb and painful chests, staring at Xie Xuan's back in amazement, the shock in their hearts was beyond words.

Standing in the courtyard, Xie Xuan looked around with a sharp gaze and shouted coldly, "Search every room, don't let Liu Xunyi escape!"

"Yes!"

The accompanying disciples all responded in unison and quickly dispersed, rushing towards the rooms in the East Courtyard. Especially to Liu Xunyi's room, more than a dozen disciples swarmed in.

"Second Master, what happened?"

Xu Heng endured the pain, limped closer, and asked in astonishment: "What on earth did Hei Zhishan do wrong? Why did you..."

"Gather all the disciples from the three lower sects and go to the central hall to wait for orders." Xie Xuan ignored Xu Heng's question and ordered, "Remember! No one can be left behind!"

"But……"

"Ok?"

Under Xie Xuan's sharp gaze, Xu Heng's body trembled with fear, and he dared not ask another question. He looked at Ling Qing, then they gathered their disciples and rushed to the main hall one after another.

"My Lord, there is none in the East Hall!"

"Second Master, there is no wing room in the front yard!"

"There's no backyard room either!"

"There's none in the storehouse, woodshed, or toilet!"

"Neither are there stables!"

……

As reports came one after another, the disciples who went to search various places rushed back to the courtyard one after another.

Xie Xuan's face was stern, and the corners of his mouth trembled violently due to anger. When he saw the last batch of disciples returning empty-handed, a burst of rage broke out in his eyes.

"Send an order, seal the gate! Even if we have to dig up the Xianwang Mansion three feet deep, we must find Liu Xunyi for me!"

"As ordered!"

With a loud shout, the disciples left the East Courtyard one after another.

Xie Xuan stared at the empty black fan throne in the east hall, his fists clenched in his sleeves making crackling sounds.

Half an hour later, Luo Ningyu woke up from her dream, feeling very happy so early in the morning.

Ever since Liu Xunyi agreed to marry her, Luo Ningyu could dream almost every night of herself and Liu Xunyi sitting under the moon and flowers, growing among the mulberry trees, looking forward to countless happy days in the future.

As she stretched her waist and opened the door, wanting to call the servants in to serve her, she saw a crowd of people in Prince Xian's mansion. Each of them had a strange expression and walked in a hurry, as if something big had happened.

"Ok?"

Driven by curiosity, Luo Ningyu didn't bother to wash up, and slowly walked out of the courtyard, looking blankly at the people coming and going, as well as the strange looks and whispers from the disciples from time to time. She was even more confused and asked several questions, but the disciples avoided her like the plague. If they made eye contact with her, they would run away quickly.

"What a bunch of weirdos..."

Just as Luo Ningyu was confused and muttering to herself, she saw the panicked Lin Fangda leading the Xiumen disciples such as "Fu Shou Kang Ning" and rushing to the central hall in a hurry. "Lin Fangda!"

"what?"

As if frightened by Luo Ningyu's scream, Lin Fangda was startled and subconsciously turned around to look around.

"it's me!"

As she spoke, Luo Ningyu rushed in front of Lin Fangda. The Xiumen disciples around her all looked embarrassed and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Luo Ningyu examined the strange reactions of the disciples, frowned, grabbed Lin Fangda's arm, and asked, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

At this moment, whether it was due to nervousness or excitement, Lin Fangda's forehead was covered with sweat. When he faced Luo Ningyu's aggressive questioning, his face suddenly changed, his eyes were erratic, and for a moment he even forgot to answer.

"Lin Fangda, I'm asking you a question!" Luo Ningyu said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so flustered, as if you have lost your soul?"

“Ah!” Lin Fangda suddenly came to his senses, stared blankly at Luo Ningyu, and said perfunctorily, “Well…it’s nothing, we just…just…”

When it came to the critical moment, Lin Fang couldn't help but burst into tears, especially when facing Luo Ningyu, he stammered and couldn't explain for a long time.

"Just what?"

"It's really okay!" Lin Fang changed the subject and said with a smile in a calm tone, "Ningyu, it's still early, why don't you go back and sleep for a while, okay?"

"I won't sleep!" Luo Ningyu gradually realized that something was wrong. She became anxious and asked, "Tell me quickly, what happened?"

"It's really okay..."

"You dare to lie to me?" Luo Ningyu said angrily, "You must be hiding something from me? I see that all the disciples in the mansion are in a hurry, something must have happened!"

"No……"

"Where is Dad?" Luo Ningyu asked in rapid succession, "And where is Xunyi?"

"Don't worry, it's really okay." Lin Fangda evaded the question, "We are also looking for Yi. We will tell you as soon as we find him. You go back and rest first..."

"Wait! What do you mean 'you are also looking for Xunyi'? Isn't Xunyi in the mansion?"

"I……"

“Okay!” Seeing Lin Fangda hesitating and deliberately concealing the truth, Luo Ningyu suddenly pushed him away and said angrily, “Since you refuse to tell me, I’ll go ask Dad…”

“No!” Lin Fangda’s expression changed, and he quickly called “Fu Shou Kang Ning” to block Luo Ningyu’s way, blurting out, “The Palace Master is angry, you must not provoke him now.”

"Angry?" Luo Ningyu was shocked. "Why is he angry? Who is he angry with? Is it related to Xun Yi? Lin Fangda, please tell me! Are you trying to make me die of anxiety?"

"Actually, I don't know much either..." Lin Fangda said with a troubled look on his face, "We just received news that the Palace Master ordered the seal-off of the Xianwang Palace and sent people to find Xunyi at all costs. Then, Second Master Xie ordered all the disciples of the eight sects to gather in front of the central hall. It seems... there is something important to announce."

"What?" Luo Ningyu was shocked and felt even more anxious. "Why? They were still fine yesterday, why did it become like this overnight?"

"I don't know either..." Seeing Luo Ningyu's eyes turn red with anxiety, Lin Fangda felt worried and distressed, and hurriedly comforted her, "There must be some misunderstanding. Ningyu, don't worry! No matter what happens, I will do my best to save it and never let the Palace Master and Xunyi fall out."

"Falling out? Why did they fall out?" Luo Ningyu's eyes were dull, her red lips trembling, and she asked tremblingly, "If they fall out, what should I do?"

“Ning Yu…”

"Stop talking!"

Suddenly, Luo Ningyu's beautiful eyes widened and she said angrily, "I'll go ask Dad for clarification!"

After saying that, Luo Ningyu no longer paid attention to Lin Fangda who was hesitant to speak, turned around abruptly, and ran quickly towards the main hall.

"Hurry! Follow me! If anything happens to the young lady, I will skin you alive!"

Lin Fangda called out hastily and quickly chased after him.

In front of the central hall, disciples from the eight sects arrived one after another. They all had a look of shock and amazement on their faces. They kept whispering to each other, trying to find out the reason for the incident.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, they could not find out the truth of the matter, because no one knew what had happened last night.

However, at this moment in front of the central hall, the most eye-catching thing was not the eight disciples staring at each other, but a huge oil pot supported by a pile of firewood on the open ground.

At this moment, the dry wood and fire were burning fiercely, creating layers of heat waves that spread in all directions, dispelling the winter chill in the blink of an eye.

The raging fire raised flames two meters high, heating the pot of hot oil to a boil, making a crackling sound.

Then, bubbles of oil appeared in the pot one after another, and soon it was boiling as fast as beans, making a heart-pounding "hissing" sound.

Seeing this scene, Luo Ningyu suddenly felt flustered and her chest felt blocked. She hurriedly looked around, but did not see Luo Tianjin.

After a moment's thought, she turned and ran towards the study.

As expected, Luo Tianjin was sitting alone in the study room in a daze at this time.

When he saw Luo Ningyu pushing the door open with a panicked look on her face, Luo Tianjin's eyes quietly turned red and he forced a gentle smile on his pale face.

"Dad, what happened?"

"Yu'er, Dad... I'm sorry..."

"I don't want to hear this!" Facing Luo Tianjin's apology, Luo Ningyu quickly covered her ears and yelled like crazy, "What's going on with those people outside and that oil pan?"

Hearing this, the corners of Luo Tianjin's mouth twitched suddenly, and he stared blankly at the disheveled Luo Ningyu with complicated eyes. His expression seemed to be laughing, crying, happy, angry, sad, and indignant. He seemed to be trying his best to calm himself. His lips trembled, opening and closing, and after a long while, he spoke intermittently: "Yu'er, forget about him! That oil pan... was prepared by Dad for Liu Xunyi."
