Chapter 334 William is missing
Liu Qingyan frowned and said, "It's only a little after eight o'clock in the evening. How could there be ghost soldiers borrowing the road? I don't feel any ghost energy in the villa."
"I didn't feel any ghost energy either."
The housekeeper is also a cultivator.
He said doubtfully, "But when I went to the scene to check, the servants working nearby said they saw ghost soldiers, and some warriors even fought with them."
Liu Qingyan asked again, "Who is missing?"
"The young master of Devonshire."
After the butler answered, most of the people at the banquet stood up from their seats with grim expressions.
"Master William was here just now. He left not long ago. How could he disappear?"
"I don't know. Could it be that the ghost soldiers passing through the villa abducted him? There used to be a rumor in the villa that the ghost soldiers passing through would randomly kill any mortals they encountered!"
"That's it! If Young Master William dies in Ziyu Villa, the Devonshire family will definitely fight to the death!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nanxi also stood up from his seat and walked to Liu Qingyan's side.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Nanxi looked at Liu Qingyan suspiciously.
Although there were rumors that there were ghost soldiers passing through Ziyu Villa and that they would kill people randomly, Jiang Nanxi knew that Liu Qingyan was the reincarnation of the King of Fengdu and would not allow the ghost soldiers to cause trouble in the villa.
The ghost soldiers used his territory to kill people, which could only be his instruction.
The rumors that had been spread earlier were probably because he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of some people.
Liu Qingyan felt Jiang Nanxi's suspicious gaze and said helplessly, "Why are you looking at me like that? This has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Nanxi didn't suspect that he wanted to kill William, but he just thought it was a bit strange.
Jiang Nanxi thought for a moment and asked him, "Are you sure there aren't any ghost soldiers passing through right now?"
“It’s basically certain.”
Liu Qingyan said.
"The location of Ziyu Villa is quite special. There is a road to the underworld within this mountain range. However, we have always encountered ghost soldiers in the early morning when the yin energy is the heaviest. We have never seen ghost soldiers passing through shortly after dark.
So every time I invite someone in, I remind them not to wander around in the early morning, and basically nothing will happen. Those who got into trouble in the past were those who didn't listen to my advice and wandered around the villa in the early morning.
Of course, those who would secretly come out and wander around the villa in the early morning basically all had ulterior motives.
After Liu Qingyan finished speaking, he glanced at the housekeeper and said, "Sometimes what we see with our eyes is not necessarily true. If ghost soldiers appeared in the villa in advance, I would be able to sense it immediately."
"That's true."
The housekeeper thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that those who saw the ghost soldiers nearby were hallucinating?"
Liu Qingyan glanced at everyone in the banquet hall and chuckled, "So many people came to the villa today, it seems someone wants Ziyu Villa to take the blame.
But I would like to advise you all that this is Ziyu Villa, and you are not qualified to act recklessly here."
Although he was smiling and speaking nonchalantly, his eyes were cold and there was no trace of smile.
Everyone felt Liu Qingyan's gaze, and their hearts skipped a beat for some reason, with a bad feeling.
Next second.
Everyone heard Liu Qingyan say to the housekeeper, "Seal off the villa and don't allow anyone to enter or leave until this matter is investigated and Master William is found."
Cheng George said with some dissatisfaction, "Liu Qingyan, what qualifications do you have to restrict our freedom? William had an accident at your villa. It has nothing to do with us. You are the one who should be held responsible!"
The story of the ghost soldiers borrowing the road first came from Ziyu Villa. Many of us are here for the first time and have never seen ghost soldiers before, so how can we do this? "
Liu Qingyan said calmly, "If you have the ability to break out, you can leave now. But, William just got into trouble, and you are in a hurry to leave. This matter is not related to you, right?"
“The Cheng family has been friends with the Devonshire family for many years abroad, and my father and old Mr. Devonshire are still friends. How could I possibly harm William!
Can you please stop talking nonsense here? This is clearly your villa's problem! If anything happens to William, I will immediately notify the Devonshire family, and then Ziyu Villa will not have an easy time! "
Liu Qingyan didn't take his threat seriously at all. "It's better not to be you, otherwise I won't let you off easily. Ziyu Villa has no interest in taking the blame for others."
After saying this, Liu Qingyan turned around and left, asking the butler to take him to the place where William disappeared.
Jiang Nanxi also followed.
William came here with Abercy, and their rooms were next to each other in the same yard.
The housekeeper had already had the yard cordoned off to prevent anyone from entering and destroying the clues of William's disappearance.
When Liu Qingyan and Jiang Nanxi came over, other people at the banquet also followed over to see what was going on.
On the other hand, these wealthy and talented people come from all over the world and are top figures in their respective countries. They are also worried that Liu Qingyan will not let them go and will do something to hurt them.
Everyone still hopes to find William as soon as possible.
Jiang Nanxi walked into the yard, first took a look at William's room, and then walked around the yard.
Only Jiang Nanxi and Liu Qingyan were allowed in, and all other guests were kept outside the courtyard.
Jiang Nanxi thought for a moment and said, "William came back to see how Abesi was doing. Where is Abesi?"
"No one's in the room."
Liu Qingyan turned his head to look in the direction of Abeshi, then asked the housekeeper, "Have you asked the staff nearby if Abeshi has returned to his room?"
"OK."
The housekeeper went to ask immediately.
While the housekeeper went to ask the staff, Jiang Nanxi and Liu Qingyan went to check both rooms.
"I didn't find anything suspicious, and there's no ghost in either room."
Liu Qingyan touched his chin and said, "I can be sure that it wasn't done by the ghost soldiers, or there were ghosts pretending to be ghost soldiers, but there is no ghost energy in these two rooms, could it be that people are pretending to be ghost soldiers?
But humans and ghosts are very different in appearance. The staff in the villa are all cultivators. They can tell whether someone is human or ghost at a glance. There is no reason to make a mistake."
"There is another possibility."
Jiang Nanxi said, "When the people pretending to be ghost soldiers came here, they set up an illusion array here to confuse the staff and warriors guarding nearby, making them think that the humans they saw were ghosts.
This would explain why they saw the Yin soldiers, but there was no Yin or ghost energy here at all."
Liu Qingyan nodded. "That's possible. But where did Abesi go? Were he and William abducted by the fake ghost soldiers?"
"Master, I've got the question!"
At this time, the housekeeper came over and said, "The staff said that they haven't seen Abesi come back!
After he took Miss Jiang for a spin in the sky, no one saw him again!
