"Your daughter? Feiwu? Really?" Long Guanyue looked at Long Feiwu, feigning ignorance.
Long Feiwu nodded, and replied in a deep voice, "Miss Li is receiving investigation because of a spy case."
"Mr. Long Feiwu, it must be a misunderstanding! My daughter is an honesty girl. It is impossible that she gets involved into the spy case! I'll be my daughter's guarantor. Your lordship and Mr. Long Feiwu, please approve of my request, and allow me to take my daughter back. She's been feeble since childhood. I'm afraid that she cannot bear the life in prison… "
"I know Mr. Li's worries. But Miss Li's suspicion cannot be cleared now, so I have to detain her. Mr. Li, please give me some understanding. "
Li Yunteng frowned at Long Guanyue, however, he concentrated on tasting tea without glancing at Li Yuteng, as if deaf.
It was expected that Li Yuteng's plead would not go smoothly. However, Li Yunteng never imagined that Long Guanyue asked a subordinate to talk with him. Long Guanyue never uttered a word, implying that Li Yunteng was not his equal.
Even the Buddha would burst in anger while facing such a contempt, let alone bossy Li Yunteng.
Li Yunteng's grin froze, and face darkened. He answered gruffly, "Suspicion? Mr. Long Feiwu, you mean my daughter is a spy?"
"Mr. Li, I don't mean that. I just doubt…"
"No doubt!" Li Yunteng roared, and slammed on a table, revealing his momentum as the master of a school.
Bearing great pressure, Long Feiwu struggled to maintain calm, eyebrows scrunching up.
"Mr. Long Feiwu, you suspect that I'm also a spy?" Li Yunteng reduced the volume of his icy voice.
Uneasy, Long Feiwu was thinking about how to reply, while Long Guanyue coughed, and threw a blue and white porcelain tea cup on the floor. It smashed into pieces at once.
"Huh…Mr. Li, you dare to show off your authority before me? How courageous you are!" As Long Guanyue ridiculed, his vital energy rushed towards Li Yunteng like waves.
Long Guanyue reached the peak of the Houtian stage, and Li Yunteng only the medium level. Their gap in cultivation base was huge. Li Yunteng almost broke down when Long Guanyue demonstrated his power.
Li Yunteng did not compromise, though out of breath in Long Guanyue's repression. He struggled to maintain in the extraordinary oppression, yelling, "Your lordship, I've made a great contribution to Longyuan. Now, you doubt my daughter and I are spies. How can I bear that?"
Albeit without a high cultivation base, Li Yuteng enjoyed fame in the realm of martial artists for his heroic demeanor. Long Guanyue belittled him, and even regarded him as a rascal, but praised his grace.
Even so, Long Guanyuan did not allow Li Yunteng to show off before him, and released more vital energy to repress him.
"Li Yunteng, Feiwu has told you clearly. He just doubts, and doesn't confirm yet. Your daughter will be released once tangible proofs show that she is innocent."
"Your lordship, can't you promise my request?" Li Yunteng bellowed.
"Personal interests are nothing compared with national interests! Go back and wait for our message!" Long Guanyue's strong sense of righteousness inspired the hatred of Li Yunteng.
"Mr. Li, if you really care about your daughter, you'd better write her a letter, and persuade her to tell the truth to us soon, in case of suffering punishment!" Long Feiwu sneered continuously, with Long Guanyue as his backup.
Li Yunteng glared, and growled at him, "What do you mean? Are you going to torture her?"
Long Feiwu replied gruffly, "I have to do this when it is needed. I cannot bear to see tormenting a lovely girl. But that is needed for our country's interest. Mr. Li, you will understand me, won't you?"
