They formed into a circle and blocked the manor’s exit.
Everyone drew out their weapons and put on an attack stance, as they stared anxiously at Li Moying.
Just when Huang Sanbai was about to attack, a sharp bark was heard from the courtyard.
“What audacity! Sacred Phoenix Race’s trash wants to deal with our Young Master Moying? You’ve overestimated yourselves!”
The mayor’s manor wasn’t very big. Those guards who had dashed in earlier had already completed their search, and they had just come out.
Just when they reached the courtyard, they saw Sacred Phoenix Race pract.i.tioners surrounding their young lord. So they hurriedly dashed next to Li Moying to protect him.
The leader of the guards blocked himself in front of Li Moying. He suppressed his voice and spoke anxiously, “Young Master, this old fellow, Huang Sanbai is one of the famous top exponents in Sacred Phoenix Race and isn’t easy to deal with. So it’s better for you not to b.u.t.t heads with him! Later on, This Subordinate will block his attack. Please leave this place first…”
There wasn’t any slight movement in Li Moying’s expression, as though he wasn’t aware of the danger beside him.
Opening his mouth, he asked coldly, “Did you find that Sacred Phoenix Race’s G.o.d grade genius?”
The guard was stunned and hurriedly said, “No, no I didn’t! The only people left in are the women from the mayor’s family. All of the Sacred Phoenix Race’s pract.i.tioners had already run out here…”
When Li Moying heard that, his chest suddenly tightened!
His Li’er had really gone missing!!
Before this, he had a ray of hope. He wished that Sacred Phoenix Race’s people had hidden Huang Yueli somewhere but now… the truth was right before him. There was no way for him to find any excuse to deceive himself!
Li Moying clenched his teeth tightly and asked, “Huang Sanbai! Didn’t you personally escort Huang Yueli back to the Sacred Phoenix Continent? A Dao Profound Realm Elder couldn’t even protect the clan’s genius? What happened during the journey? What happened to her exactly??”
Seeing Li Moying’s agitated look, everyone present, including the Cloudy Qilin clan or Sacred Phoenix Race’s pract.i.tioners were extremely puzzled!
Today, Li Moying had been showing a conceited and aloof look for the whole day, as though nothing would shake him up.
Even when so many pract.i.tioners had surrounded him, he wasn’t even scared at all.
But now, hearing Huang Yueli’s disappearance, he actually became so impulsive?
Huang Sanbai was very surprised as well. But linking everything that had happened previously, he had the wrong idea. He felt that Li Moying was afraid of becoming the scapegoat, hence he wanted to explain in the faces of the Sacred Phoenix Race pract.i.tioners.
He naturally wouldn’t permit such a thing from happening so he said, “Shut up! You little brat, still trying to pretend? Wouldn’t you know if anything happened along the way? We met with a sneak attack by the Cloudy Qilin clan and I was knocked unconscious and suffered a serious injury. By the time I regained my consciousness, La.s.s Li had already gone missing! It must be you, Cloudy Qilin clan’s people who had captured her!”
Li Moying frowned and before he could say a word, his guards were already shouting back at him.
“You old man, don’t you dare malign us on every single thing! We haven’t even met that G.o.d grade genius, not even her shadow, so how can we possibly capture her? Who knows who you were attacked by on that day? A Dao Profound Realm pract.i.tioner couldn’t even see who had attacked you? Isn’t that too comical!”
The guards looked indignant, but no one suspected that Huang Sanbai was trying to cover up for himself and had hurt Huang Yueli.
