All the disciples couldn’t help but look at Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao upon hearing Guan Zhen’s words, waiting for him to tell the truth.

However, Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao’s face suddenly turned gloomy.

The disciples’ hearts sank when they saw Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao’s reaction.

Was what Guan Zhen said true?

Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao sighed upon seeing that many disciples had their eyes on him. He then said.

“That’s right, I have misunderstood you before, but I have already apologized to you. Do you still want to hold on to it?”

The disciples were in an uproar upon hearing Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao admit it himself.

Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao had done such a thing!

Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao didn’t want to admit such a shameful thing.

However, the truth will come to light sooner or later.

He could not hide such a matter. It would be worse if he lied, and the matter was exposed.

However, the sect master was the sect master after all, so his dignity was still there.

Although many disciples were in a state of shock and couldn’t react for a moment.

However, there were still some disciples who stood on the side of Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao.

“Elder Guan, the sect leader has also said that he has apologized to you. Don’t tell me that you are only happy after making a big fuss over this matter!”

“Oh? When did I say that I came to the Sky-Reach Peak for this matter?”

The discussion among the disciples became even louder.

Could it be that the sect leader had done other things besides this matter?

Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao stunned.

He didn’t know what else he had done to offend Guan Zhen apart from that.

Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao frowned slightly and couldn’t help but say.

“Junior Guan, I haven’t done anything else. Please tell me directly if I’ve done anything wrong!”

All of a sudden, everyone’s eyes focused on Guan Zhen.

And Guan Zhen wanted this scene.

He stared at Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao and said word by word, “Did you kidnapped Lin Qi to Sky-Reach Peak?”

Everyone was shocked again upon hearing that.

Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao had kidnapped someone?

And it was none other than the most outstanding disciple of this year, Lin Qi!

Many disciples looked at Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao differently.

Although it was not pleasant to hear, it was understandable if the sect leader and the elders had some grudge.

However, the sect leader of the Baiyun Sect kidnapped his disciples.

That was too undecent.

Almost everyone suspected Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao.

Even some of the disciples who were originally on Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao’s side wavered a little.

Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao turned from shock to anger and shouted, “Guan Zhen, don’t slander me!

“I have been staying in the training room with disciple Zhang Wu today. I have never done what you said!”

“Never done it?” Guan Zhen looked at Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao coldly and said, “Who else could take someone away from Yanhui Peak silently other than you, the sect master of Sky-Reach Peak in this Baiyun Sect?

“Moreover, he was abducted after an intense fight!

“Do you want to say it was You Yilin if it wasn’t you?”

Indeed.

No one in the Baiyun Sect could kidnap someone after a fight without a sound.

It could only be Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao if there were someone like that.

The others didn’t have such abilities.

Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao was at a loss for words. He pointed at Guan Zhen while trembling, but he couldn’t say a word.

One could always trump a charge if they wanted to.

Only now did he understand Guan Zhen’s feelings at that time.

You Yilin slowly took a step forward just as the situation was intense and said, “Guan Shi-shu, I just met Junior Lin not too long ago. He was not abducted.”

“Is there some misunderstanding in this matter?”

Guan Zhen was slightly stunned when he heard that and almost believed it.

But then, he denied it.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”!

“My daughter Guan Xiaoyu saw it with her own eyes today. The house where Lin Qi lived was in a mess. It was obvious that a battle had happened.”

“Lin Qi is missing now. What else could it be other than someone kidnapping him?”

“You Yilin, I’ve always thought you are a decent person. I didn’t expect you to be a hypocrite full of lies!”

“Tell me! Did you kidnap Lin Qi!

“Or did both of you take part in it?”

Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao and You Yilin were at a loss for words for a moment!

Tick-tock.

The raindrops fell from the dark clouds and turned into a torrential downpour in an instant.

…

A sixteen-year-old boy was walking in the suburbs with a paper umbrella in his hand.

In front of him was a tight shut inn.

He turned around and looked at the road he came from. It was about ten miles away.

It was this inn.

Lin Qi smiled and gently knocked on the door.

“Excuse me, is anyone here? I want to take shelter from the rain.”

Soon, swearing voices were coming from the inn.

“Who the f*ck is knocking on the door? Are you crazy?”

Lin Qi could not stop his smile when he heard that.

How could there be a reason not to let customers knock on the door if they were an inn?

Of course, they would naturally be rude if they were an unscrupulous shop.

The door opened a moment later. The person who opened the door was a burly man with a long scar on his face.

The burly man looked at Lin Qi fiercely and was slightly stunned.

Everyone in the vicinity knew that this shop was unscrupulous. Why was that man here?

Could it be that this kid was a foreigner?

The burly man slightly turned his body to make way upon looking at Lin Qi’s thin figure and said coldly, “Come in!”

Lin Qi nodded slightly and thanked him. Then, he folded the paper umbrella and slowly walked into the shop.

Many people were sitting in the hall at that moment. Each of them was fierce and looked like they were criminals.

And these big men were all staring at Lin Qi as if they were afraid that others wouldn’t know that they were an unscrupulous shop.

Lin Qi came to an empty table, put down the paper umbrella in his hand, and slowly sat down. He smiled and said, “Shopkeeper, please heat a pot of soju wine and cook a catty of cooked beef.”

A bald big man at the counter looked at Lin Qi with a smile and said, “I’m sorry, but we don’t have any soju wine or beef.”

Lin Qi pretended to be surprised and said indifferently, “Oh? Isn’t this an inn?”

The big men in the shop burst into laughter as soon as Lin Qi said that.

The bald man behind the counter sneered and said to Lin Qi, “It’s an inn, but it’s a little expensive.”

“How expensive?” Lin Qi asked casually with a faint smile.

The bald man pointed at the table and said, “Fifty taels for a short rest. One hundred taels for accommodation!”

Lin Qi remained unmoved upon hearing the bald man’s words and said indifferently, “So expensive? Is your shop a gangster inn?”

The crowd burst into laughter again when they heard that.

The bald man stood up fiercely, walked to the seat opposite Lin Qi, and sat down. He sneered and said, “That’s right, my inn is indeed a gangster inn. Hand over the money if you know what is good for you!”

Lin Qi looked at the strong man in front of him, picked up the teapot on the table, and turned over a cup that was upside down on the table.

He poured a cup of tea into the cup and said with a smile, “How about this, let’s talk business.”

“You want to talk business with me?” The bald man became interested when he heard this. He couldn’t help but ask, “What business do you want to talk business with me? Do you know what will happen to you if my brothers are not satisfied with it?”

The burly men in the shop stood up and surrounded Lin Qi without any hesitation after saying that.

Meanwhile, Lin Qi took a sip of tea, took out the reward notice from his pocket, and said, “I just saw you being wanted in a small town ten miles away, a total of 500 taels of silver.”

“As the saying goes, fate brings us together.”

“How about this, you pay me 500 taels of silver, and I’ll pretend I’ve never been here today.”

“What do you think?”
