Chapter 532 If You Can’t Find It, Kneel Down and Apologize
Bai Tianhao retreated several meters following the force, and stopped only after it was completely removed. He looked at Yu Qianli with an unfriendly expression.
"You're just a thief crying 'stop thief'! Stop throwing mud on me!"
Bai Tianhao snorted coldly, staring straight at Yu Qianli's right arm, as if he wanted to stare a hole in it.
He strongly suspected that the man in black who had just assassinated Xue Ning was this person.
If there is a wound on the arm, it can be confirmed.
"I came here in pursuit of the assassin who dared to kill the princess of my Anlan Kingdom who was to be married off to a foreign country."
"I saw the assassin enter this courtyard with my own eyes, so I wanted to come and investigate."
His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze dark.
"Young Master Yu, are you trying to protect the assassin? Or did you send the assassin?"
"Old Ancestor Bai, please be careful with your words." Yu Qianli's face darkened. "Old Ancestor Bai put such a big hat on us for no reason. Don't you think it's too much?"
At this moment, another figure floated onto the roof and stood side by side with Yu Qianli. It was Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying said in a mocking tone, "Old Ancestor Bai wasn't seen during the wedding procession during the day, yet he suddenly appeared here at night. It's hard not to suspect anything."
"Old Ancestor Bai concealed his whereabouts and sneaked into Jingguo. Not only did he come to Huitong Hall, but he also tried to frame us. His methods are really clever."
"I can't help but ask, Old Ancestor Bai, what exactly do you want to do?"
Bai Tianhao was so angry that he frowned and looked at him coldly. Strictly speaking, he could be considered to have sneaked into Jingguo.
But this was an agreement he had reached with Jing Kingdom long ago, but he kept it secret from Yue Kingdom and Jingnu Kingdom.
But I didn't expect that I would be forced to show up on the first night of my stay and be ridiculed like this.
"Nonsense! How I entered Huitong Hall is a matter of Jing State. What does it have to do with you?"
At least he still had some sanity left and knew that he should not focus on himself but instead track down the assassin.
"But you, sending assassins to kill the princess, intending to destroy the alliance between the two countries, what crime should you be charged with?"
Xiao Ying's eyes darkened slightly: "Old Ancestor Bai, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want."
"When did we send assassins to kill the princess? I know you were severely injured and captured alive by me last time, and you hold a grudge and have been wanting revenge."
"But to fabricate such a lie and frame someone is simply ridiculous."
Yu Qianli also echoed, "Could it be that Patriarch Bai thinks we're easy to bully? So he's deliberately playing the thief crying thief?"
Bai Tianhao was so angry that he was about to die after the two of them twisted right and wrong, and his face became more and more gloomy.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out: "I can prove that my ancestor did not lie. There was indeed an assassin who tried to kill me just now, and he was a master of the ninth level of Qi Refining."
Bai Xuening came slowly, followed by several monks.
Seeing Yu Qianli and Xiao Ying standing side by side, her eyes dimmed, but she also knew that now was not the time to dwell on these things.
"You are a family, and your words don't count."
Xiao Ying, however, retorted and made a sarcastic remark.
"If not, can I also say that someone came to assassinate me just now? And it was a master of the ninth level of Qi Refining from your Anlan country?"
Bai Tianhao and Bai Xuening were both shocked by her logic, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
"Young man, stop talking nonsense!"
Bai Tianhao's face was gloomy, and he really wanted to chop the two of them into pieces with a knife.
"When I was chasing the assassin, I injured his arm and saw him jump into this yard with my own eyes."
"If you want to prove your innocence, let me go in and search."
When Bai Xue Ning heard that the assassin was stabbed, she couldn't help but look at Yu Qianli, feeling conflicted.
I hope it's not him.
Xiao Ying and Yu Qianli didn't react much and remained calm.
"Old Ancestor Bai actually injured the assassin?"
Xiao Ying seemed to be genuinely unaware of the situation and showed a hint of thoughtfulness.
"It seems that this is indeed the case, but I still can't let you search."
Bai Tianhao laughed in anger: "So, you guys are really going to protect the assassin?"
"There are no assassins in my courtyard, so how can you say I'm protecting you?"
"Then why are you afraid of me going in to search?"
Xiao Ying looked at him as if he was a fool, which made Bai Tianhao feel depressed again.
"Oh, you and I are both distinguished guests of Jing State. What qualifications do you have to search my yard?"
"Besides, what will you say if the assassin is not found?"
"You disturbed my sweet dreams for no reason, are you just going to let it go like this?"
Bai Tianhao asked in a deep voice, "Then what do you think?"
Xiao Ying chuckled and said, "That's easy. If you don't find it, kneel down and kowtow to me and apologize."
"Don't go too far!"
Bai Tianhao was furious, veins throbbing on his forehead.
He just felt that every time he faced Xiao Ying, he could never gain the upper hand.
Just as the atmosphere was reaching a stalemate, another familiar voice reached my ears.
"It's quite lively here at night. Could you tell me what happened?"
Nangong Yunhe smiled kindly and came together with Nangong Jingyan.
The Imperial Master's Mansion is not close to here, but these two people came quite quickly.
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, you are finally here."
Bai Tianhao held his breath and told the truth about what had just happened, his words full of dissatisfaction with Xiao Ying and Yu Qianli.
"A ninth-level Qi Refiner actually attempted to assassinate Princess Xue Ning? Who could be so bold?"
Nangong Yunhe pretended to be surprised, while Nangong Jingyan looked at Xiao Ying thoughtfully.
"This is a matter of great importance. I hope Fellow Daoist Xiao and Fellow Daoist Yu can understand and allow me to go in and search."
"What if the assassin really does hide in your courtyard and wants to kill you? It would be more reassuring if we find him as soon as possible."
Nangong Yunhe seems to be thinking about Xiao Ying and the others, but his purpose is self-evident.
Xiao Ying raised her eyebrows: "Master Imperial Master wants to search my yard too?"
"It's better to search it." Nangong Yunhe said with a smile, but he felt something was wrong in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ying nodded readily: "Then search."
Everyone was stunned. Why did she suddenly become so easy to talk to?
Then Xiao Ying said, "But I still say the same thing. If you don't find it, kneel down and kowtow to me and apologize."
