Li Yunteng hastened to go to her, and looked at her up and down, asking with concern, "Are you all right?"
She waved head, "They're not cruel to me. Dad, can you promise me to ask them to release Chuchu? She's my best friend. I cannot bear to see her suffering…"
Awkward, Li Yunteng flicked a look at Qin Zongheng, the only possible savior of Chuchu.
Qin Zongheng also wanted to save Chuchu, sharing a friendship with Clan Chu, however, he could not force Long Guanyue further. Otherwise, the result would be unpredictable.
"Yexue, don't worry. We go back first and have a discussion at length." answered Qin Zongheng.
She nodded with understanding.
"Your lordship, please don't blame me for the trifle today. You surely understand my concern. I'll choose a time to come to apologize."
Long Guanyue chuckled, "It doesn't matter!"
Qin Zongheng grinned and held his fists, "Goodbye!"
Long Guanyue's eyes were locked on the fading four shadows and grew chiller.
"Your lordship, why did you set Li Yexue free?" Long Feiwu was not reconciled.
"What if not releasing Li Yexue? Battle with Clan Qin? Don't forget, our biggest opponent is Clan Hua."
"But Team Longxi never compromises! Qin Zongheng did not respect us. Your lordship can tolerate that, but I cannot!"
Long Guanyue sneered, "I cannot either. I won't let that go easily!"
Long Feiwu asked eagerly, "Your lordship, you mean…?"
Sullen, Long Guanyue replied, "It doesn't matter to release Li Yexue if she is innocent. But the dignity of Clan Long was challenged because of her. If we swallow the insult silently, Qin Zongheng and Li Yunteng will act more impulsively in the future! I need to make them understand that Clan Long cannot be pissed off. They want to protect Li Yexue? I must kill her!"
"Kill Li Yexue?" Long Feiwu was startled, "Your lordship, I'm afraid your proposal is improper. Qin Zongheng thinks highly of Li Yexue. If you kill her, you declare war against Clan Qin?"
Long Guanyue smiled wryly, "I have my plan! You go to spread the news that we captured the spy from Jinxia thanks to the Flying Dragon School and Li Yexue. They're the heroes of saving our country."
Thrilled, Long Feiwu got the point, "I see! You mean murdering them with a borrowed knife. Jinxia's hate will be triggered and it will kill Li Yexue and destroy the Flying Dragon School instead of us. But one martial artist aware of the truth from Clan Chu escaped. I suppose he has returned to Jinxia already. Will Clan Chu be tricked by us?"
Long Guanyue curled his lips, "I just take advantage of the rumor. Once it spreads, everyone will blame Clan Chu for killing Li Yexue, no matter whether it is the real murderer or not. Clan Chu takes the responsibility, but we're the killer."
Long Feiwu's eys glimmered. "So it is. We just pretend to be the martial artists of Clan Chu and ends Li Yexue's life. Our anger will be vented, but Qin Zongheng has no reason to revenge on us! Perfect!"
Long Guanyue patted his shoulder, laughing, "Boy, you're young and have a lot to learn. I not only vent our anger, but also create a conflict between Clan Chu and Clan Qin. Both of them will suffer great losses. Then we can focus on dealing with Clan Hua! Ha…ha…"
"Your lordship, how far-sighted you are! You're my example!"
Long Guanyue waved head, "Alright, stop kicking ass! Go ahead to arrange. Be scrupulous when taking action, and don't leave any hint behind! Qin Zongheng is shrewd, and he can penetrate everything if catching a clue!"
"Don' worry, your lordship. I know how to do it!" Lon Feiwu responded and left.
Both Qin Zongheng and Li Yunteng did not expect that Long Guanyue came up with a devilish scheme against them.
Li Yunteng and Mingchuan followed Qin Zongheng and Sun Yanglong to Clan Qin to cure wounds.
