"Good, good, you guys act first and report later!" Siao Tieying was so angry that he laughed. He said coldly, "You guys are afraid that I will confront him, right?"
"Master Siao, this is a serious matter. We can't make the decision." Song Siwen shook his head calmly. "As for the confrontation, let Chu Li confront the Emperor himself. The Emperor can see everything clearly. If Chu Li really did not do anything, he will prove his innocence!"
"Confront the Emperor himself?" Siao Tieying laughed coldly. "Only you guys can think of that. Chu Li can't handle any bumps now. He will definitely die on the way to the Fairy's Capital. What evil intentions!"
"Master Siao, you've wronged us." Song Siwen shook his head. "We believe that Chu Li is innocent. But even if there is a witness, things will be different. We dare not hide anything!"
"You don't have to hide anything. As long as you keep your eyes open, keep your heads clear and don't mess things up!" Siao Tieying laughed coldly. "Think about it. How could there be such a coincidence? He just happened to see what happened and coincidentally met you guys. Who is he?"
"… A woodcutter." Song Siwen thought for a while and said slowly.
"A woodcutter?" Siao Tieying laughed. "They can see the speed of a Grandmaster's attack. How could they know who killed who? Did he see Chu Li kill High Official Zhao with his own eyes? "
"Yes." Song Siwen nodded.
Siao Tieying said, "Then did he see Chu Li being chased by the Tempest Temple?"
"Yes." Song Siwen said, "He said that the monks from the Tempest Temple appeared later. They were not with Brother Zhao."
Logically speaking, these things should not be disclosed. However, he also felt that the woodcutter's appearance was too coincidental. It was a little strange. After sending the people away, he was a little hesitant. He felt that he had been tricked.
Siao Tieying laughed coldly. "This is even more ridiculous. Why would the Tempest Temple collude with High Official Zhao? It's because Chu Li's Light-body Technique is too powerful. They can't catch up with Chu Li. If Chu Li killed High Official Zhao first, he would have escaped long ago. He won't be hurt! "
"Master Siao, how powerful is Chu Li's Light-body Technique?" Song Siwen shook his head and laughed.
"If he wants to escape. No one can catch up with him! " Siao Tieying scoffed, "It's not like you don't know how powerful the monks from the Temple of Tempest are. Why have we failed to kill them so many times?"
Song Siwen frowned and said, "Is it difficult for us to see it?"
"What do you think of his current appearance?" Siao Tieying snapped.
Song Siwen spread his hands helplessly and said, "Then there is nothing we can do. It all depends on whether the Emperor believes it or not."
"You guys are really stupid!" Siao Tieying sneered, "You're afraid that I'll kill that bastard to silence him. That's why you did such a thing, right? Even if Chu Li really did kill High Official Zhao, he would not be able to do anything about it. So what?! "
Song Siwen's face darkened. "Young Master!"
Siao Tieying sneered, "If Chu Li really killed High Official Zhao and I want to protect him, what would the Emperor do? Why should I waste my breath on you? Think about it. You really don't have a brain! "
He glanced disdainfully at Song Siwen and the others.
Song Siwen and the other five looked gloomy and extremely angry.
Even if it was the King's Mansion, it was a serious matter if they wanted to kill a Guardian of the Imperial Palace. They would not let them off lightly.
However, the position of the House of High Dukes was transcendent, and their relationship with the Imperial Family was subtle. Even if he really killed the Imperial House's Minister of Offerings, the royal family might not make a big deal out of it.
Siao Tieying said, "Don't tell me you guys want to witness Chu Li's Light-body Technique? Chu Li is heavily injured now, so let's let his subordinates show off. Lin Quan, let Jiang Kuai chase after that guy! "
"Yes," Lin Quan replied.
Song Siwen's face was gloomy as he snorted, "Young Master, you really know how to joke. It's been half a day since you sent him away. There's no need to waste your time!"
"Your Light-body Technique might not be good, but the Protectors of the House of High Dukes are not!" Siao Tieying scoffed, "I'd like to see who this person is! … You didn't ask clearly before sending yourself to the Emperor. Aren't you afraid of being punished? "
Song Siwen frowned and said nothing.
He was also muttering to himself. If he really made a mistake, it would be a great sin.
Previously, they were only thinking of not letting this person fall into the hands of the High Duke's Public House and be killed, so they sent him away. Using the special passage of the Imperial House guards, it was stealthy and fast.
Now that he thought about it, it was indeed a little impulsive and irrational.
Especially after hearing Siao Tieying's explanation, there were indeed many flaws.

Early in the morning, the sun shone brightly.
Song Siwen and the others had just woken up. Before they could even cultivate, they were invited to Iron Eagle Island.
When they stepped into the main hall, they saw a middle-aged man in grey standing in the middle of the hall. Their expressions changed slightly as they looked at Siao Tieying.
Siao Tieying sat in the armchair with a cold smile on his face.
Lin Quan stood behind him, smiling and nodding at them with a humble face.
"Young Master, you really got him back!" Song Siwen scoffed.
He had mixed feelings. He was a little relieved but also afraid. In front of the House of High Dukes, this passage was not secret.
Siao Tieying said, "Don't forget, this is Chong Ming Road! … I've told Chu Li, he said that he only needs to ask this guy a question. "
"What question?" Song Siwen scoffed.
Siao Tieying said coldly, "How far away did he see Chu Li and Zhao Zilai fighting?"
He turned his head and stared at the middle-aged man in grey, "Tell me, how far away were you from them?"
The middle-aged man in grey looked ordinary. His skin was tanned and his eyes were honest. He was frightened by Siao Tieying's imposing manner and did not dare to speak. He lowered his head tightly.
Song Siwen said calmly, "It's okay, just tell me the truth. How far away did you see it?"
"This … I don't know how far away it was. Maybe about ten feet. I saw it from behind a rock," the middle-aged man in grey stuttered.
"Hehe …" Siao Tieying laughed and looked at Song Siwen.
Song Siwen frowned. He pointed outside the door, "How about this, look outside from here. Which place is about the same as what you saw?"
The middle-aged man in grey looked outside, thought for a while and said, "It's about the same as that fake mountain."
Siao Tieying laughed and said, "Protector Song, is this the witness you found? What a joke! "
Song Siwen's face turned ugly.
It was only ten feet away. For Grandmasters and Innate Masters, it was almost right in front of them. It was impossible not to notice.
Chu Li's flying knife was said to be very powerful. If he really killed Zhao Zilai, he could have killed the woodcutter with one knife. How could he be a witness?
The middle-aged woodcutter saw that Song Siwen's expression was not right. He quickly said, "It could be a little further. I'm just guessing."
Siao Tieying shook his head and said, "Say it. Who asked you to say these things? If you tell the truth now, the Public House will spare your life. If you lie and we find out, you won't be able to live!"
The middle-aged woodcutter quickly looked at Song Siwen.
Song Siwen frowned, "Someone really asked you to do this?"
"This … this …" The middle-aged woodcutter thought that he could hold on but Siao Tieying's imposing manner was like a mountain pressing down on him. He could not breathe, "I … I …"
Song Siwen looked at him and became more and more suspicious. He said in a low voice, "If you tell the truth, we won't pursue this matter."
