“Where is that villain! This old man will capture him today and subject him to the most severe punishment!”
Although Lin Ze faced no mortal danger, thinking of how his young master had suffered such humiliation, Lin Guo couldn’t swallow this insult and clenched his iron fists.
His angry outburst also made the several Liu mansion elders present feel pressure, and they sighed helplessly.
“As for Yino, besides your mansion’s Elder Ming, we’ve already sent shadow guards to pursue him!”
“Damn it, what kind of joke is this! With so many elders here, you don’t go after him yourselves but only send a few shadow guards?!”
At this moment, rage had already blinded Lin Guo, his eyes glaring viciously at all the Liu mansion clan elders present, even at Liu Yuliang’s family.
Lin Guo had held back his anger for a long time.
In his view, since the Lin mansion’s second young master would marry Liu Ruoxin, the Lin and Liu families had long stood on the same side as one family.
Since they were one family, even before Lin Ze’s duel with Yino, the Liu mansion should have sided with the Lin family and joined Lin Ze in pressuring Yino.
But… The Liu mansion chose to hypocritically maintain fairness, only allowing Lin Ze and Yino to duel one-on-one, not permitting Lin Guo and Elder Ming to bully the weak with their numbers.
What righteous act were they putting on? They just feared offending the He mansion!
If Lin Guo could still tolerate the former, but now that Yino had struck with deadly intent and fled, the Liu mansion, as in-laws, actually had so many elders present, yet not one stepped forward to suppress Yino?!
“About this…”
With the accusation directed at the Liu family, the several Liu mansion elders present stroked their beards, looking somewhat innocent: “Sigh, we also wanted to act, but firstly, your Lin family’s Elder Ming had already given chase immediately, and secondly, Young Master Lin Ze’s life and death remained uncertain, so naturally we Liu family elders had to prioritize staying behind to care for your Young Master… If needed, the Liu mansion also has some life-saving secret techniques that could help you!”
“Moreover… Yino possesses at most only Nascent Soul stage cultivation. Surely your mansion’s Emptiness Refining stage elder can handle him?”
The Liu mansion elders had spoken very politely.
By emphasizing the cultivation gap between Ming and Yino at the end, this statement immediately left the furious Lin Guo somewhat speechless.
If he accused the Liu mansion of not sending elders, that would equal belittling his own Elder Ming as unable to catch even a small brat…
But if Lin Guo just gave up his accusations like that, he still felt that the Liu mansion somehow favored Yino!
“Ah, in-law, calm down! Harmony brings wealth!”
Seeing that Lin Guo found himself at a loss for words, several Liu mansion elders also put on kind and amiable smiles as they stepped forward to comfort him.
They stroked their beards, as if the matter didn’t concern them, and continued: “Elder Lin, look, the fact that our Young Master faces no life-threatening danger already represents the best outcome!”
“Today, we witnessed just a martial competition between youngsters. Although Yino acted despicably and struck viciously for a moment, he could run from the monk but not from the temple! In the future, your mansion need only bring the injured Young Master to confront the He mansion in court, and then we Liu family will naturally testify for your mansion and seek justice for your Young Master!”
The Liu mansion elders were all thousand-year-old foxes, and with a few words, they successfully calmed Lin Guo’s emotions.
Besides this, seeing that Yino had fled and the conflict had finally ended, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled joyfully:
“In-law! Look on the bright side!”
“Although Young Master did indeed suffer today, now Lin Ze is fine, Ruoning is still here, and only that Yino fled in fear of punishment. This doesn’t affect our two families’ future marriage arrangements at all, does it? Hahaha!”
At the end, the Liu mansion elder turned around and laughed heartily as if nothing had happened.
For a moment, Lin Guo listened to the Liu family’s words and, thinking it over carefully, found it did seem to make sense.
Although the process proved somewhat torturous, the result showed that no one died, and as for Yino?
He had struck with deadly intent today and then fled. No matter what, he stood in the wrong. Once Elder Ming captured him, the Lin family would have plenty of time to subject Yino to private punishment!
“Hmph, your words do make sense!”
Thinking of this, Lin Guo also turned around, stroking his beard with a relieved smile.
However, as Lin Guo smiled, he suddenly noticed that the Liu family elder who had just laughed heartily beside him had gone silent.
“What’s with that expression?”
Lin Guo raised an eyebrow, looking at the Liu mansion elder with puzzled incomprehension.
But just as his words fell, the Liu mansion elder suddenly turned pale with shock.
“Where’s Ruoning! Where’s this old man’s precious granddaughter? Wasn’t she just there a moment ago?!”
“?”
At these words, the smile on Lin Guo’s face also inexplicably froze.
Following the Liu mansion elder’s alarmed cry, everyone who had originally gathered around Lin Ze suddenly came to their senses.
Everyone looked around, and whether they called out loudly or used their spiritual senses to search, they couldn’t find even a trace of that Liu family young lady’s scent within a ten-li radius.
“This is bad!!!”
“Trouble! Big trouble!”
The Liu family elder slapped his thigh and cursed in despair, his face that had just advised Lin Guo not to worry immediately, contorting into a mask of anguish.
Now it finally became the Liu mansion elder’s turn to experience the despair and hatred that the Lin family elder had felt earlier.
Facts proved that when misfortune fell on their heads, even the usually refined and scholarly Liu family elders would break down and curse just like Lin Guo.
“Damn that bastard Yino, when did he kidnap Ruoning!!!”
The Liu family elder completely lost his composure. After watching this drama unfold from the sidelines and enjoying the spectacle, he discovered that he suffered the greatest loss.
Just as the Liu family fell into complete chaos, a one-armed, half-crippled black-robed shadow guard came stumbling from outside the Liu mansion compound, prostrating himself before everyone.
“Master! A demoness abducted Miss Ruoning during the chaos!”
The shadow guard knelt in apology, gritting his teeth. During his report, he still clutched the stump of his severed arm, seemingly enduring tremendous pain.
On the other side, the Liu family elder’s forehead already bulged with veins:
“Then why did you come back? Go chase Ruoning back quickly!”
“Master, seven of us at the Nascent Soul stage went to pursue the young miss. We’re currently engaged in a bloody battle in the southwestern forest, and only this subordinate survived to return and report the situation…”
