Chapter 363: Mo Yang and Gang 2

Zhu Shen was also very awkward. “I don’t know either. Lady Qi said Erniu was missing when she woke up early this morning. She searched all over the yard but still did not find her…”

Qi Qingyao let out all of her anger with severe, rapid-fire lashings at Li Ruoxuan. In a few seconds, she painted him as a peerless scum and the devil incarnate.

Zhu Shen listened to Qi Qingyao’s ranting and felt cold sweat dripping down his head. This was bad.

Normally his Master would have asked someone to snap her neck and use her as a stool already.

Could it be that the recent vegetarian diet had led to his much milder temper, or maybe it was because there was a grand master behind this little lady, so he was afraid? He did not say a word, just listening to her rant.

When Qi Qingyao was done venting.

Li Ruoxuan had also finished drinking the extremely bitter medicine.

Only then did he get up slowly and walk outside. He glanced at the faint white streaks of dawn in the east and said with a composed expression, “Why don’t you use your stupid little brain and think? I’ve already taken you and the three children as hostages, why should I sacrifice my late-night sleep and let out the poison gas to take away that little girl?”

Qi Qingyao paused. The more she cared about the person involved, the more panicked she got.

Wait.

If it was not this guy who did it…

Then who else could it be?

Qi Qingyao suddenly had a bad feeling in her mind.

“Then could my Erniu have…” Her face hardened all of a sudden, and she murmured with a pale face. “Maybe she went to pee in the middle of the night, or sleep-walked and fell into the dry well in your house and drowned.”

Li Ruoxuan did not laugh at the nonsensical words that she babbled that were almost funny. He still asked very seriously, “Does your Erniu have a habit of sleepwalking?”

“No,” Qi Qingyao said.

The two of them fell into silence.

The door at the side opened.

A man with crutches walked in. Jiang Yeqian’s thin lips were tightly pursed. He seemed to have forgotten the displeasure from yesterday. His handsome face was a little serene, but there was sharpness hidden in his eyes.

“Even with the two of you having discussed like this, are there no conclusions yet?”

Li Ruoxuan had a suspicion in his heart, but he did not want to speculate in that direction. Because once he did, it meant that all defenses in this house were worthless.

He lowered his face and said, “Do you have a conclusion already?”

Jiang Yeqian recently suffered major weight loss due to his injuries and lying down for a long time. On the deep edges of his bony face, his eyes burned and his gaze faintly shifted toward Qi Qingyao. He said, “A grand master was here!”

Qi Qingyao, “…”

She was not stupid.

She reacted promptly.

The grand master that he was talking about was not Si Jin. It should be the grand master of other countries that they had been trying to guard against.

Like the one from Daliang City, the one from Yunwu Mountain, the one from Junlin City, or the one by the Cangjing Lake…in any case, it was a grand master.

Jiang Yeqian’s eyes stared straight ahead with a sense of solemnity. He said, “Only a grand master can break into the courtyard silently at night and take away your little girl.”

When Qi Qingyao heard these words, she felt a little dizzy. She did not want to be targeted by a grand master while her trump card was not around. She could not help but clutch her forehead. “It really isn’t the two of you cunning guys who did it?”

“Who would still joke with you at this time!” Li Ruoxuan also held his forehead unusually, because this was completely outside of his plans. He guessed that a grand master might have arrived, but he did not expect them to take one of the children away on the first night he brought Qi Qingyao and the others over here. What was this? They apparently did not want to go against the State Preceptor of Northern Liang head-on, nor did they want to kill people. They just wanted to give him a slap on the face and tell him that the Northern Liang’s State Preceptor was useless. Li Ruoxuan’s jaw tightened. He unconsciously touched his blind right eye and said, “In other words, our people could not defend us at all last night.”
