The three of them quickly arrived at the entrance of the Fan Family.
The guards of the Fan Family naturally recognized Lei Yu. Although they knew that the Fan Family had a conflict with the Lei Family, they still greeted him respectfully because of Lei Yu's identity. "Greetings, Instructor Lei Yu."
Lei Yu suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "I am Lei Yu. This is my father, Lei Peng, the Family Head of the Lei Family."
"Please follow me," one of the guards of the Fan Family said immediately.
Then, he led Lei Yu and the other two in and sat down in the hall of the Fan Family.
"Family Head Lei, Instructor Lei Yu, please wait here for a while. The Family Head will be here soon." After saying that, the guard retreated, leaving Lei Yu and the other two in the hall.
Soon, the Family Head of the Fan Family, Fan Shenglin, walked over with a few people. Fan Shenglin also had a gloomy face and did not speak when he saw them from afar.
Lei Peng and Lei Yu were also angry, but they were in someone else's territory, so they could only force a smile on their faces.
"This must be the Family Head of the Fan Family, Fan Shenglin. I am Lei Peng, the Lei Family Head of the Lei Family." Lei Peng forced a smile and said, "I heard that the Fan Family is powerful. Seeing you today, you really live up to your reputation."
Fan Shenglin's face was still dark as he said coldly, "The two of you, let's cut the crap. Let's settle the matter that just happened!"
Lei Yu said, "Fan Family Head, I respect your Fan Family. Our Lei Family is also respectful. But why did you attack the people of our Lei Family?"
"You'll have to ask yourselves. If you didn't kill our people first, why would we attack you?" Fan Shenglin said coldly.
Then, his face darkened even more. "If you don't explain yourself clearly, even the two of you can forget about leaving today!"
Although the Lei Family suffered more losses than them due to the fact that they had fewer people, the Fan Family also lost a few people.
Hearing this, the person from the Lei Family, who did not even have time to tend to his injuries, immediately stood up and said, "Family Head Fan, when did we attack you first? It was clearly your people who suddenly surrounded us and attacked us. We didn't even have time to react and we already lost a person."
"Nonsense!" Fan Shenglin immediately slammed his palm on the tea table in front of him.
"Bang!" A loud sound scared the Fan Clan's man to the point that his expression changed.
"Patriarch Fan, although our Lei Family is weak, we will not tolerate your bullying!" Lei Yu immediately stood up and glared at Fan Shenglin angrily.
"Lei Yu, don't think that I won't dare to touch you just because you are a teacher of the Xing Wu Academy!" Fan Shenglin sneered.
"Yu 'er, quickly sit down!" Lei Peng hastily looked at Lei Yu and shouted.
After hearing Lei Peng's words, Lei Yu sat down with a cold expression.
Lei Peng immediately smiled and said to Fan Shenglin, "Patriarch Fan, Lei Yu is young and impetuous. I hope you don't regard me as an outsider."
"Family Head Lei, I can forgive you for being young and hot-blooded. However, I cannot forgive you for acting so viciously towards our Fan Family." Fan Shenglin said coldly.
In fact, he was also afraid of Lei Yu's identity. Otherwise, when Lei Yu stood up just now, he would have struck him with his palm.
"Both sides feel that they are in the right. I suspect that there must be some misunderstanding. How about this? Why don't we call all of them over and question them in detail?" Lei Peng said with a smile.
Now that the Lei Family was weak, he could only hope to find out the specific reason through this method.
"That's fine too." It was hard to slap a smiling face. Seeing that Lei Peng was always so polite, Fan Shenglin didn't continue to be domineering.
Very quickly, he ordered his subordinates to bring the captured Lei Family members over. As for the group from the Fan Family, they were also called over.
The remaining members of the Fan Family were all injured. Although the people who were captured were more seriously injured than them, they still cursed angrily.
"You bastards, are you being arrogant now?"
"Do you dare to fight a few more rounds with me?"
"Do you believe that I won't beat you up until you can no longer crawl?"
…
"Enough!" Fan Shenglin couldn't help but say in a deep voice.
Hearing Fan Shenglin's voice, they stopped cursing. However, all of them still had angry expressions on their faces.
As for the members of the Lei Family, they were naturally furious. They knew that they were at a disadvantage, so they didn't continue cursing.
"Tell Patriarch Lei what exactly happened. Tell him why you surrounded and attacked the Lei Family back then!" Fan Shenglin said.
Hearing Fan Shenglin's words, those people immediately turned to look at one of them. That person who was being looked at immediately walked out. He was also quite injured. He looked at Fan Shenglin and the others and said, "Family Head, the reason why we attacked the Lei Family was because someone from the Lei Family took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on one of our group. There were three of us at that time, and because of that sneak attack, one of us died on the spot, while the other was heavily injured. If it wasn't for my quick escape, I would have probably died in his hands."
"That's why we gathered together to deal with the Lei Family," added the person beside him.
"Someone from the Lei Family would launch a sneak attack on someone from the Fan Family? How is that possible? "Lei Yu couldn't help shouting.
"Is what you said true?" Lei Peng looked at the person from the Fan Family and asked in a deep voice.
"Absolutely. If you don't believe me, I can call Miao Xing over. He can testify for me," that person from the Fan Family hurriedly said.
"Miao Xing?"
"Miao Xing was the one who was heavily injured by the other party's sneak attack. He was lucky that he only fainted and didn't die. We later rescued him," said the person beside him.
"Can he come over now?" Lei Peng asked with a frown.
"Miao Xing's injuries are very serious, but he's much better now. He can barely speak," said a doctor.
"Then carry him over," Fan Shenglin immediately said.
Very soon, Miao Xing was carried over.
The reason why Miao Xing was still alive was naturally because Lin Long had shown mercy.
Looking at Miao Xing, Lei Yu and Lei Peng couldn't help but frown. He was clearly heavily injured.
After confirming that Miao Xing was conscious, Fan Shenglin immediately asked, "Miao Xing, tell the Lei Family Head how you were attacked."
"At that time, someone from the Lei Family came over … and told us … that Lin Li was found ahead and needed our help … We quickly chased after him when we heard that it was Lin Li … Who would have thought that the other party would suddenly attack us from behind …" Miao Xing immediately recounted everything in detail.
Although it took a lot of effort, he still managed to speak in an orderly manner.
"That's what happened. If the Lei Family hadn't attacked first, we definitely wouldn't have attacked them," said the person Lin Long had deliberately let go.
"Our Lei Family doesn't have such a person," Lei Yu said with a frown.
"Did any of you discover any traces of Lin Li?" Lei Peng asked the Lei Family members.
"We didn't find any traces of Lei Peng at all." The Lei Family members shook their heads.
"Then did any of you leave the group alone?" Lei Peng asked again.
"No." The Lei Family members continued to shake their heads.
"In that case, our Lei Family was most likely set up by someone," Lei Peng said with a frown.
Hearing Lei Peng's words, Fan Shenglin couldn't help but nod. "That's possible."
Fan Shenglin then looked at the injured Miao Xing and the person Lin Long had deliberately let go, and asked, "Do you remember that person's face?"
The person Lin Long had deliberately let go shook his head, and said, "It was very dark at that time, and he was standing in the shadows with his head lowered, so we didn't see his face clearly."
"It is very likely that he is purposefully pretending to be a member of our Lei Family so that your Fan Family will fall for it!" Lei Yu couldn't help but cry out when she heard those words.
"Then, why are you so sure that he is a member of our Lei Family?" Lei Peng continued to ask.
"Because he was wearing the clothes of your Lei Family, and I clearly saw the words' Lei Residence 'on the left side of his chest," said the person.
Lei Peng nodded, and then said to Fan Shenglin, "In that case, it's very likely that someone was wearing the clothes of our Lei Family, and deliberately pretended to be a member of the Lei Family to make our Lei and Fan Families fight each other … after all, our Lei Family doesn't have any enmity with your Fan Family."
"However, at that time, they weren't wearing the usual black warrior robes of our Lei Family. Instead, they were wearing the rarely worn yellow warrior robes. There were even the words' Lei Residence 'embroidered on the chest area. Where did the person who dressed up find such clothes to wear?"
"Could it be that someone from your Lei Family was killed, and then the other party changed into that person's clothes?" At that moment, someone suddenly spoke up.
The person who spoke up wasn't someone from the Lei Family, but someone from the Fan Family. Clearly, many of them felt that they had fallen into a trap.
"If that's the case, then count how many people from your Lei Family were killed by us. If we missed any, then they were most likely killed by that person." Fan Shenglin immediately said.
Afterwards, he looked at an old man at the side. This old man was none other than Elder Fu, who was in charge of the scene at that time.
When he saw Fan Shenglin looking over, Elder Fu immediately said, "At that time, they were basically fighting in the same place. Later on, I counted and discovered that four people from the Lei Family were killed by us. The four corpses have already been cleaned up, and the remaining ones are the few that were present."
When he heard that four people were killed, Lei Peng naturally felt his heart ache. After all, they were the elites of the Lei Family.
"Four people were killed?" Lei Yu said as he looked at the remaining people from the Lei Family. "In addition to these six, there should be two left!"
"It's very likely that the other two were killed by that person. Then, he wore one of their clothes to confuse you." Lei Peng's eyes instantly lit up.
However, in order to confirm this point, he looked at the few people from the Lei Family and asked, "Is the Fan Family's Elder's count correct?"
"Yeah, that's basically it. The area where we fought with the Fan Family wasn't huge, so it's easy to count." The few people from the Fan Family nodded.
"Then the two corpses of your Fan Family should still be at the scene. We will immediately search for them!" Fan Shenglin immediately said.
The group immediately left the Fan Family and headed towards the place where the battle took place.
