Silence. There wasn't a sound in the hall.
Almost everyone knew that the trial was about to begin, and whether the two of them would die depended on Xiao Feng's decision.
Xiao Feng approached City Lord Xiao and pointed in the direction of Li Dehua and the man: "Could you give me the authority to decide what to do with these two people?"
Lord Xiao waved his hand dismissively, "Of course, you can decide how to deal with them."
Now that they have trespassed into the city lord's mansion, if the Xiao family wants to establish its authority, it must kill them.
However, Xiao Feng had no such thoughts. He walked to their side and casually untied the ropes binding them.
Li Dehua and the man noticed that their ropes had been untied, their faces full of incomprehension, having no idea why Xiao Feng had untied them.
Seeing that they were looking at him, Xiao Feng couldn't help but say to them, "We are all cultivators, and we shouldn't get involved in these mundane affairs."
The two were about to say something when Xiao Feng continued, "You'd better watch yourselves. I can only let you go once; there's no reason for me to let you go a second time."
Li Dehua and the man exchanged a glance, then Li Dehua turned and walked outside.
Just then, General Xiao walked in through the door with several people, his face beaming with smiles: "Look, your Qing Sect has sent people again."
Because they were all wearing Qingzong robes, their identities were easily recognizable.
Xiao Feng glanced at the doorway with a look of surprise; he had no idea that anyone from the Qing Sect would come here.
Suddenly, the people at the door saw them inside and rushed towards Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng caught a glimpse of the newcomer, then his eyes widened in surprise: "Lu Xue'er? How did you find us?"
He originally thought Lu Xue'er was doing their training mission, and no one expected her to come here.
When Lu Xue'er heard Xiao Feng's surprised voice, she snorted coldly: "Give me the Tiger-Dog Beast."
This time, Xiao Feng dared not draw the Mountain and River Sword, constantly dodging, afraid that the sword would strike Lu Xue'er.
Lord Xiao and his wife smiled knowingly as they watched Xiao Feng and Lu Xue'er getting entangled.
Just by looking into their eyes, it's clear that they have very likely misunderstood the relationship between Xiao Feng and Lu Xue'er.
Since the two men were showing no mercy, Lord Xiao quickly stepped between them and forcibly separated them.
"Let's talk things out calmly. There's no need to resort to violence."
The people around were about to make a move, but they didn't expect City Lord Xiao to beat them to it.
Moreover, he noticed that the city lord had a misunderstanding about the relationship between Lu Xue'er and Xiao Feng, and stood aside with a smile on his face, ready to watch the show.
Lord Xiao pointed inside and said, "Come in with us, let's talk inside."
Lu Xue'er assumed the tiger-dog beast's corpse was on the two of them, and glanced back at the Qingzong disciples: "You two stay here and watch, I'll go with them."
The Qingzong disciples readily agreed and waited for Lu Xue'er to come out.
Soon, the group entered the inner room.
Madam Xiao's gaze swept over Lu Xue'er a few times, and she nodded with satisfaction: "You two have known each other for a long time, haven't you? I wonder if you have any plans?"
Lu Xue'er didn't understand what the two of them were saying at all, and looked confused, so she didn't respond for a long time.
Lord Xiao bluntly stated, "I wonder how long it will take you before we can hold our grandchildren?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xue'er's spiritual energy immediately spread out, clearly indicating that she was already somewhat agitated.
Xiao Feng, standing to the side, was also stunned when he heard their conversation.
He hadn't expected that Lord Xiao and Madam Xiao would misunderstand his relationship with Lu Xue'er, thinking that the two of them were together.
Just then, many disciples came in through the door, their faces full of anger: "Don't you look in the mirror and see if yourselves are worthy of Senior Sister?"
"Exactly, some people just like to be narrow-minded and think they are great."
Xiao Feng originally intended to come out and explain, but no one expected that those people would start to mock and ridicule him.
In an instant, Xiao Feng lost his good mood towards them and slowly retreated without offering any explanation.
Seeing that Xiao Feng showed no intention of explaining, the Qingzong disciples rushed up to him: "You're not going to come out and explain for your senior sister? Does anyone really have no shame?"
They originally thought that by urging him in this way, he would at least give them some face and come out with an explanation.
To everyone's surprise, he pretended not to hear anything and looked away.
Madam Xiao and Lord Xiao exchanged a glance, not understanding what had happened.
Madam Xiao glanced at Lord Xiao and asked, "Have we mistaken our relationship?"
Lord Xiao pondered for a moment: "It's possible that they were embarrassed. Didn't you see that Lu Xue'er didn't refute our words?"
Up to now, only the disciples of the Qing Sect are denying this matter; they haven't said a single word.
If Xiao Feng had simply said a few words, their misunderstanding could have been resolved.
To everyone's surprise, Xiao Feng pretended not to know anything, turning his head away as if he was unwilling to explain.
Seeing his roguish expression, Lu Xue'er understood that he meant no explanation.
For a moment, she was at a loss for what to do.
In her desperation, she burst into tears.
The Qingzong disciples around saw Lu Xue'er crying and looked at Xiao Feng with hatred on their faces, as if they regarded him as their opponent.
Xiao Feng had never seen Lu Xue'er so vulnerable before, and he stood there stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.
In his memory, Lu Xue'er had always been a strong person in the Qingzong Sect, so how could she possibly show such a timid and feminine demeanor?
Xiao Feng approached Lu Xue'er, his face full of embarrassment: "I know I was wrong. I'll explain to you now. Can you please stop crying?"
For some reason, he is now terrified when he hears a girl cry, and he has no idea how to comfort her.
The Qingzong disciples around him took this opportunity to continuously criticize Xiao Feng, demanding that he apologize to them.
Xiao Feng walked up to them and said, "If you don't want to be beaten for no reason, you'd better leave here. Otherwise... I don't mind kicking you out."
The disciples of the Qing Sect all knew that he possessed the Mountain and River Sword, so none of them dared to directly cause trouble for Xiao Feng.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be a match for Xiao Feng, which would be quite embarrassing to outsiders.
In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, only the four of them remained in the inner room.
