"Huh? Liu Huai? Is that him? How did he get out of the house?"
"It seems that Liu Xi specifically asked the Council of Elders for leave to bring him out, saying that they wanted him to relax and ease the grief of his mother's passing. After the Council of Elders knew that he was coming out with us, they agreed."
"Really? Alas, he's also a pitiful child, especially in his generation. All the illegitimate children were rounded up by those people in the Elders' Council and trained as heirs according to the traditional way. Alas, it's really pitiful. I remember that Liu Huai was one of the candidates most valued by the Elders' Council."
"Yes, so it's not easy for him to come out. Maybe he wants to stay out for a while."
"Well, it reminds me of the days when I was a candidate. Alas, poor child! Go and call him. It's getting late. Let's go back together."
"Yes, father."
Suddenly, a figure passed by the window and Liu Huai disappeared.
What? What's going on?
"Just now, that was... a very strong demonic energy fluctuation. That person is a demon cultivator, and far above the swordsman level. Quick, fire the red signal arrow to summon the demon slayer."
"Yes, father." Liu Hai immediately shot a red signal arrow into the sky.
Liu Zhen's face turned pale. They actually kidnapped members of their Liu family in Qingshan Town. These demon cultivators are becoming more and more arrogant.
…
At the Li Family Manor, Li Yan stood respectfully before Li Feng. Everything that had happened today had given him a new understanding of Li Feng. Although many of his movements, behaviors, words, and even memories unique to the two of them were shared, he, who knew Li Feng best, felt as if Li Feng had become a completely different person.
This may be because he had a close call with death, which caused his temperament to change drastically!
He was in awe of Li Feng now. Considering that the blood of the Wei clan disciples was still hot, how could he not be afraid?
"Feng'er, I have some information." Li Lei walked in with a serious face and said, "A demon cultivator has kidnapped a member of the Liu clan. And it happened right under Liu Zhen's nose. Now the demon slayers have been alerted. The nature of this matter is extremely evil."
Li Yan felt a deep sense of sympathy for Li Lei. He felt a sense of frustration as the clan leader, having such a powerful nephew. He looked at him, not at all like a patriarch, making decisions on everything. He always consulted Master Feng about everything. Shaking his head, Li Yan buried his thoughts deep in his heart.
"Just one person kidnapped? They're much more cautious and low-key than I expected." He Lin muttered to himself after hearing the news and asked, "Who was kidnapped?"
"Liu Huai, a legitimate descendant of a concubine's son, but I heard that his identity is very special and has alarmed the Liu family's elders' council." Li Lei was very concerned about this matter, one because of Li Feng's prediction, and the other because the impact of this matter was indeed too bad.
Kidnapping people in front of the patriarch of the nobles was worse than murdering several of their children. Such behavior showed that they had completely disregarded the nobles.
"Liu Huai? Where was he standing at that time?" He Lin did not care about these influences but was concerned about the abducted young man from the Liu family.
"He's the young man next to the three third-generation Liu family members you pointed out in Zuixian Tower." Li Lei was very thorough in his work. He didn't conduct any special investigation or inquiries. He just spoke out the intelligence information.
He Lin's eyes suddenly opened, and he snorted coldly, "How amazing! You actually used me to set up this scheme." Then he walked into the study, wrote a few lines, sealed them in an envelope, and said to Li Lei, "Uncle, give it to Clan Leader Liu as quickly as possible. I hope it's not too late."
Li Lei, who was standing next to Herlin and watching him write the letter, naturally knew the content of the letter. He was a little surprised and couldn't believe it, but without asking any questions, he immediately sent the letter over as quickly as possible.
"Feng'er, your speculation is not true, right?" Even so, Li Lei couldn't believe it and couldn't help asking.
"I also hope it's fake, so I asked Chief Liu to give me some information about Liu Huai as evidence."
"If it's true, then the Liu family will lose all face."
He Lin was not interested in the face and honor that these people valued. However, this Liu Huai was very different from the Liu Quan he had met and the magic cultivators in the information he had collected recently.
The information Liu Quanhe collected about the demon cultivators was the same. Most of the demon cultivators would remain in hiding if they were not discovered.
But this Liu Huai, who has not been exposed yet, chose to leave his hiding place. It was a strange move, and no one knew what the deep meaning behind it was.
…
In Zuixianlou, the people who had left the third floor gathered here again, and there were also many elders from the Elders' Council. At this time, Zuixianlou was more lively than during the day.
"Chief, you are to blame for kidnapping people right under your nose." An elder roared angrily at Liu Zhen, as if he wanted to eat him.
"The cultivation level of that demon cultivator was too high. I didn't have time to react at all, and Liu Huai was kidnapped... I will be responsible for this matter." Liu Zhen said in a deep voice, and his tone was a little lower. This matter was indeed his fault, and it would be a shame for him for the rest of his life.
"Father..." Liu Hai watched his father being besieged by the elders, but he was helpless and could only blame himself for being useless. He couldn't help but think about what Li Feng would do if he were here. Just as he was thinking about Li Feng, a follower walked in quickly and whispered, "Young Patriarch, Master Feng has sent a letter."
"Oh, where's the letter? Show it to me right now." Liu Hai seemed to have grabbed a lifeline. He snatched the letter from his follower, tore open the envelope, and read the contents. After finishing, he was overjoyed. He immediately took the letter and ran to Liu Zhen and said, "Father, Master Feng has written. After hearing about what happened, he speculated that there was something fishy going on. Liu Huai might not have been abducted, but rather taken away by that demon cultivator. Master Feng speculated that Liu Huai might also be a demon cultivator, and asked us to provide him with relevant information about Liu Huai as evidence."
After Liu Zhen heard what Liu Hai said, he immediately snatched the letter from Li Feng and read it. Sure enough, the content was similar to what Liu Hai said.
Liu Zhen closed his eyes and was silent for a while, then said to Liu Hai, "Give him the information, and at the same time, tell the Demon Exorcist this speculation."
"Father, this is just Li Feng's speculation. What if it's false..." Liu Hai took out the letter just to help his father out. As for the content of the letter, to be honest, it was a bit unbelievable and Liu Hai didn't completely believe it.
But his father immediately believed Li Feng's speculation and chose to tell the demon slayer directly, which made things a big deal.
"If you're worried about taking responsibility, just say it was Li Feng's speculation. Give this letter to the Demon Slayer. Go ahead." After Liu Hai left, Liu Zhen faced the elders of the Elders' Council and said in a deep voice, "If this is true, our Liu family will become a laughing stock."
