Qin Yi steadied himself, turning to Lan Baizhi beside him, and said with a mixture of speechlessness and helplessness, "Senior Sister Lan, can you please stop making such jokes?"
"Look at you, so pathetic, not taking the meat that's already in your mouth. I despise you!" Lan Baizhi retorted.
Just as she finished speaking, Xue Qiao'er walked over.
To avoid awkwardness, Qin Yi stopped talking to Lan Baizhi and asked Xue Qiao'er, "Why did you come over?"
"You still haven't agreed to join the Order Hall. Naturally, I have to follow you!" Xue Qiao'er replied, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Alright, Qin Yi was left speechless and had nothing to say.
Later, the three of them went to Huaittang City together.
Qin Yi didn't have a car, so if he wanted to return to Haicheng, he would have to go to the city first to hail a taxi.
Lan Baizhi also followed Qin Yi, showing no intention of leaving on her own.
Meanwhile, as the three were heading to Huaittang City, in the Miao village, Jin Xiuxian received the news that Li Changsheng had brought people to infiltrate Miaobao Pavilion, and had even severely injured Yu Tongbao before taking him away.
Jin Xiuxian was utterly shocked upon receiving this news, pacing back and forth in his room.
He hadn't expected that even with Long Shi's intervention, Li Changsheng would dare to make a move on Miaobao Pavilion!
For a moment, Jin Xiuxian felt an uncontrollable sense of nervousness and unease. Thinking about how they had sided with Yu Tongbao and opposed Li Changsheng, he worried about retaliation from the Order Hall!
It wasn't just Jin Xiuxian; Abbot Hui Guang and Mao Xiang also received the news, and both were extremely worried!
Thus, shortly after, Jin Xiuxian received video calls from Mao Xiang and Abbot Hui Guang, and the three began to discuss countermeasures!
If the Order Hall were to come after them, how should they respond!
Just as Jin Xiuxian was discussing with Mao Xiang and Abbot Hui Guang, a figure silently appeared in Jin Xiuxian's room.
When Jin Xiuxian noticed the intruder, he abruptly ended his conversation with the other two and leaped to his feet from his seated position!
"Who, who are you???"
In an instant, he even mobilized his internal energy, preparing to strike at any moment.
The figure was clad in black, wearing a large black hat that obscured his face, preventing Jin Xiuxian from seeing him clearly.
This figure was none other than the subordinate sent by Dragon Soul to avenge Long Shi!
"King Miao Jin, my name is Feng Yun. I am under the command of the Dragon Master of the Divine Gate. I have come today merely to ask you a few questions!" the black-clad figure said in a deep voice.
Jin Xiuxian lessened the intensity of his mobilized internal energy and blurted out, "You are from the Divine Gate, someone from the Dragon Soul Vice-Sect Master's faction!"
"Precisely!" Feng Yun asked, "King Miao Jin, I wish to know, who killed our young master?"
"Your young master?"
At first, Jin Xiuxian didn't understand who the other party was referring to, but he immediately realized something. His eyes widened like copper bells, "What did you say, Young Master Long was killed???"
"Yes."
Jin Xiuxian's shock was so profound it seemed to solidify, radiating outwards.
Uncontrollably, he took half a step back.
Long Shi, the divine son of the Divine Gate, the son of the Divine Gate's Vice-Sect Master, had been killed?
This news was even more astonishing to him than what he had heard earlier about Li Changsheng leading a group to infiltrate Miaobao Pavilion's headquarters and forcibly abducting Yu Tongbao!
The next moment, he strode forward to Feng Yun and said, "Young Master Long's death must have been Li Changsheng's doing! It must have been him!"
In Jin Xiuxian's mind, other than the people from the Order Hall, no one else would have the audacity to lay a hand on someone from the Divine Gate!
Furthermore, yesterday at Miaobao Pavilion, Long Shi had offended Li Changsheng by standing up for Yu Tongbao. Li Changsheng had a motive to kill Long Shi!
"Li Changsheng!"
Feng Yun repeated the name, and with a movement of his body, vanished from the room.
Even with Jin Xiuxian's eyesight, he couldn't discern how he had left.
In this situation, Jin Xiuxian stood rooted to the spot for several seconds before he could regain his senses.
He subconsciously swallowed and murmured, "So strong!"
After leaving Jin Xiuxian, Feng Yun made a call to Dragon Soul. Using the Divine Gate's resources, Dragon Soul quickly determined Li Changsheng's location.
Dragon Soul informed Feng Yun of Li Changsheng's whereabouts, and without any delay, Feng Yun immediately set off in pursuit.
Li Changsheng and his group were driving their vehicles, carrying Yu Tongbao, on their way back to the capital.
As their car passed through a section of a mountain highway, suddenly, Feng Yun descended from the sky, landing on the car's hood.
*Boom.*
The hood of the car Li Changsheng's group was driving was directly dented inwards, emitting black smoke.
The car, which had been traveling at high speed, was forced to a halt! Under Feng Yun's powerful stomp, the entire car was lifted off the ground and flipped over!
Fortunately, Li Changsheng, Fang Zheng'ao, Huo Qiyang, and Qin Qiong were not ordinary people. The moment the car lifted, the four of them punched open the car doors and jumped out in time.
As Li Changsheng jumped out, he also managed to drag Yu Tongbao with him!
Finally, Li Changsheng and the others landed on the road, while the car tumbled down the cliff below!
Li Changsheng, holding Yu Tongbao, stood there and looked at Feng Yun in front of him, asking coldly, "Who are you?"
Fang Zheng'ao, Huo Qiyang, and Qin Qiong stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Li Changsheng, staring intently at Feng Yun.
Feng Yun ignored the other three and said only to Li Changsheng, "You are Li Changsheng, the Deputy Hall Master of the Order Hall!"
"I am. Who are you?" Li Changsheng replied.
"You are the one who killed Young Master Long! You can die now!"
Without any further words, Feng Yun transformed into a cannonball and charged towards Li Changsheng.
Seeing his speed and feeling the aura he exuded, Li Changsheng's gaze sharpened. Before Feng Yun could get close, he threw Yu Tongbao to the ground and shot out to meet him.
*Bang.*
Immediately, the two collided, like a muffled thunderclap. A wave of energy surged outwards, forcing Fang Zheng'ao, Huo Qiyang, and Qin Qiong to retreat several steps.
...
Qin Yi, Lan Baizhi, and Xue Qiao'er arrived in Huaittang City.
Qin Yi said to Lan Baizhi, "I'm planning to go back to Haicheng. Senior Sister, do you want to come with me?"
"Yes!"
Lan Baizhi replied without hesitation.
Qin Yi thought for a moment, glanced at Xue Qiao'er beside him, and then pulled Lan Baizhi aside, asking, "Senior Sister Lan, what exactly did you want me to come to Miaobao Pavilion for this time?"
"It wasn't just for me to watch Li Changsheng and Miaobao Pavilion fight, was it?"
Lan Baizhi smiled slightly and said, "Of course not! Actually, the reason I had you come this time was for you to see Long Shi!"
"I never expected you to be so ferocious, you actually killed him!"
