Ming Xi deliberated in his heart, should he tell the truth to his Imperial Father?
"Father, I just want to take a look." Ming Xi lowered his head. Imperial Father was so powerful, even if he was lying, he would definitely be able to tell. Moreover, it was not good to lie. Mother had said that one should not lie. "However, I know that it is dangerous outside, so I will only watch from the side of the door. I will not go out."
He wasn't lying. The door was so close to the corridor. It was only one or two steps away.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at him. "Put on your clothes."
"Ah?" Ming Xi stared blankly for a moment before realizing that Imperial Father wanted to take him out. Joy flashed in his eyes as he hurriedly grabbed the cotton-padded jacket beside him and put it on. However, his hands and legs were short, so he was in a hurry to put it on. It was Hong Ying who came in from outside the door who helped him put it on.
"Yan Xiaoliu, hurry up and keep up," Ming Xi called out to Yan Xiaoliu.
"Oh, okay." Yan Xiaoliu hurriedly put on her cotton-padded jacket. Her shy and beautiful face was flushed with happiness.
Hong Ying glanced at him, thinking that this Yan Xiaoliu was so beautiful. She wondered what he would look like when he grew up. Even she, who was used to seeing Her Ladyship's devastatingly beautiful appearance, would sometimes be stunned by Yan Xiaoliu. It was clear how good-looking he was.
Mo Rongzhan didn't let Ming Xi and the others go downstairs. He just stood in the corridor outside the door and watched the people below shout and holler. It seemed like they were discussing how they would go to the Luo Shui Pavilion tomorrow morning to find their Sect Master to settle the score.
"Fa … Father, what are they doing?" Ming Xi turned to ask Mo Rongzhan.
"Unreasonable." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
After he said that, he immediately raised his eyes to look at the corridor on the left. There was a curtain at the entrance of the corridor, and there was a person standing behind it. That person seemed to be looking down at the situation below. He probably heard Mo Rongzhan's words, so he turned his head slightly and shook the curtain. That was how Mo Rongzhan sensed that there was someone there.
Ming Xi and Yan Xiaoliu were lying in the corridor, their eyes curiously looking at the people below.
At this time, a few men walked in from outside the inn. The one in the lead was a middle-aged man. His arrival caused everyone in the inn to quiet down.
"Sect Master Chen." People kept greeting the middle-aged man.
"Sect Leader Chen, are you also here to ask the Luo Shui Pavilion for an explanation?"
"That old demonic woman is in seclusion and refuses to see guests. The people must have a guilty conscience."
It turned out that this person was the Sect Master of the Radiant Peak Sect, and he was gesturing for everyone to quiet down.
"Everyone, I just came out of the Luo Water Pavilion and have already seen Sect Leader Bai. The murder of Hero Yan has nothing to do with the Luo Water Pavilion. Everyone, don't be misled by the real murderer," Sect Leader Chen said in a deep voice.
"Sect Leader Chen, someone clearly saw the people from the Luo Water Pavilion appear in the Yan Family. Now, we haven't even seen the old witch surnamed Bai. How can we believe that the Luo Water Pavilion has nothing to do with the Yan Family?" someone asked loudly.
"Did anyone see the people from the Luo Water Pavilion kill the people from the Yan Clan?" Sect Leader Chen asked. "Hero Yan's martial arts are extremely powerful. Even if everyone from the Luo Water Pavilion came out in full force, they would not be able to annihilate the Yan Family. The real murderer is someone else. You guys are just hearing rumors, yet you want to go to the Luo Water Pavilion to question Sect Leader Bai. This is completely against the principles of the Jianghu."
A young and refined man stood up. "Sect Leader Chen, we, the Qingyang Sect, are not here to question Sect Leader Bai. We just want an explanation. If the Luo Water Pavilion went to the Yan Family that night, why did they not say a word after the Yan Family was annihilated? If they are not the murderers, could they be accomplices?"
"That's right. We just want an explanation," someone immediately added.
"Sect Leader Chen, are you trying to protect the Luo Water Pavilion?"
The hall that had quietened down became noisy again.
Sect Leader Chen could not resist the voices of the crowd alone. No matter how he tried to explain, it was useless.
Mingxi yawned as he watched. He reached out and tugged on Yan Xiaoliu's sleeve. "I'm so tired. They're really bored. Yan Xiaoliu, let's go back to sleep."
Yan Xiaoliu gripped the railing tightly with both hands. His fair face looked a little pale as he stared straight at the people below.
"What's wrong?" Mo Rongzhan noticed his strange behavior and asked him in a low voice.
"Nothing …" Yan Xiaoliu retracted his gaze and lowered his head as he followed Mingxi into the room.
She just felt that the scene below looked a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. Those people also looked familiar, different from the Emperor and the others.
But he still could not remember anything. He felt as if there was something stuck in his head. Every time he tried to remember the past, his head would ache violently.
"Yan Xiaoliu, are you alright?" Back in the room, Mingxi saw that Yan Xiaoliu was still absent-minded and did not look well. He walked in front of him and raised his head to look at him.
"I can't remember the past," Yan Xiaoliu said in a low voice. "The Yan Family they're talking about … Hero Yan … Does it have anything to do with me?"
Yan Xiaoliu had many questions in his heart, but he didn't know who to ask. Seeing Mingxi's concerned gaze, he unconsciously blurted out the questions.
Mingxi tilted his head and thought for a bit, "I don't know either, but … Do you think that the Yan Family they're talking about is related to you?"
"Yes …" Yan Xiaoliu hesitated for a bit, but still nodded lightly.
"Then that's easy. Tomorrow, we'll go ask who that Hero Yan is and if there's someone called Yan Xiaoliu in his family. At that time, you'll know where you came from," Mingxi said.
Yan Xiaoliu revealed a faint smile, "You're willing to help me?"
Mingxi nodded, "We'll go ask tomorrow."
Mo Rongzhan, who was standing outside, only found it funny. How old was this child, how was he going to ask?
"Emperor, the person disappeared," Wu Chong said in a low voice beside Mo Rongzhan, "It should be a guest that lives over there."
"Keep an eye out at night." Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly. Most of the people that appeared in Zhongxing Prefecture were related to the Luoshui Pavilion. Actually, he was a little curious as to who wanted to frame the Luoshui Pavilion.
A sect that wasn't ranked in the Pugilistic World and was made up of only women, what did it have to do with others?
In the main hall, Sect Leader Chen's voice was amplified by his inner force, covering all other sounds. "If everyone insists on listening to an explanation, Sect Leader Bai will send someone to meet with everyone tomorrow. It's already late now, and the path up the mountain is not easy to walk. Everyone should rest first."
"Sect Leader Chen …"
"Everyone, don't get tangled up. If this matter was really done by the Luoshui Pavilion, Shaolin and Wudang would have done something a long time ago. Why would small sects like you need to take action?" Sect Leader Chen said coldly, "Hero Yan is the leader of the Pugilistic World. His misfortune is related to the entire Pugilistic World. We won't let the murderer go."
