Chapter 944 Will you hand over the person or not? !
Ximen Lie was furious: "Ji Qingxu! This clan leader will ask you one last time, where is Ximen Li? Will you hand him over?!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu revealed a barely perceptible smile, but in his heart he was secretly laughing at Ximen Lie's stupidity.
He said sincerely, "Chief Ximen, it's useless for you to be angry. I really know where Ximen Li is, and I didn't capture her."
"However," he changed the subject, "this sect master thinks you still need to ask Elder Bai and his granddaughter Bai Luoying, after all, they left before the banquet started."
"Besides, Bai Luoying is not here now. Who knows where she went? Maybe she really did secretly kidnap your daughter Ximen Li and left with her?"
There seemed to be a mystery hidden in Ji Qingxu's words, and his eyes swept over Elder Bai intentionally or unintentionally.
When Elder Bai heard that Ji Qingxu was bringing the trouble upon himself, his expression changed slightly.
When Ximen Lie heard Ji Qingxu's words, he became furious.
He stared at Elder Bai and roared, "Elder Bai, explain it to me! Where is the daughter of our clan leader, Ximen Li?"
"Did you and your granddaughter capture her? If you dare to hide the truth, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Facing Ximen Lie's questioning, Elder Bai's heart suddenly tightened and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
But he quickly regained his composure and explained, "Chief Ximen, please don't be angry. Listen to me slowly."
"This elder and Ying'er definitely did not take your daughter away. We just ate a little too much at the banquet, so we went out for a walk to digest it. As for Ying'er, she did go to her friend's house to play, and she definitely did not take your daughter away."
After listening to Elder Bai's explanation, Ximen Lie was furious.
He knew that Elder Bai was not lying, because he knew the relationship between Elder Bai and his mother Chang Sun Ling very well.
Before, when Elder Bai and Bai Yingluo suddenly left, Ximen Lie had already guessed that they were going to find his mother.
He had always turned a blind eye to the affair between his mother and Elder Bai. After all, it was too embarrassing to make such a thing known to others.
However, he never expected that his mother would tell him that Bai Luoying was actually the daughter of her and Elder Bai!
This news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Ximen Lie speechless with shock.
His heart was filled with anger and helplessness. He could not accept this fact, but he could do nothing about it.
He knew that family disgrace should not be made public.
If this matter were to be made public, it would not only bring shame to the Ximen family, but would also likely cause a series of troubles.
Ximen Lie took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He secretly thought that although he was angry at the behavior of Elder Bai and his mother, he could not easily offend Tianyan Sect now.
The Tianyan Sect is a powerful force. If you offend them, the consequences will be disastrous.
But how could he be willing to let this matter go?
Ximen Li is missing. If he can't find Ximen Li, Shuang'er's illness cannot be cured, which makes him extremely anxious.
Just as Ximen Lie was hesitating, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and a strong wind blew.
The howling wind seemed to add a layer of gloom to the tense situation.
Ximen Lie looked up at the sky, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Ximen Lie took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Hmph, Elder Bai, I hope you are telling the truth. If I find out that you dare to lie to me, I will not let you go even if you are an elder of the Tianyan Sect!"
There was a threatening look in his eyes as he looked towards Elder Bai.
Elder Bai felt a little scared and wiped the sweat off his forehead: "Don't worry, Patriarch Ximen, everything I say is true."
Ximen Lie gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Okay, I will let you go today. But I will not let this matter go. This clan leader will definitely get to the bottom of it."
There was a hint of threat in his eyes, "If this clan leader finds out that your Tianyan Sect is really involved, my Ximen family will never let it go."
After saying that, Ximen Lie waved his sleeves violently, turned around and left with the people behind him.
Their figures gradually moved away and finally disappeared from the sight of Ji Qingxu and others.
Ji Qingxu looked at the backs of Ximen Lie and others going away, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Let's go!"
Su Chenyin and others also followed Ji Qingxu and continued to fly towards the direction of Tianyan Sect.
……
Ximen Lie sat upright on the flying beast, his face seemed to be painted with thick ink, and was terrifyingly gloomy.
The fierce wind was like a sharp blade, whistling past him and ruffling his hair wantonly, but it could never dispel the anger and anxiety in his heart.
His hands were clenched into fists, and the joints were trembling slightly, as if they would break at any moment.
There seemed to be a burning fire in his heart, and he roared over and over again: "Where did Ximen Li go? How could he disappear without any warning?"
The strong wind whistled past his ears, but it could not conceal his inner anxiety and uneasiness.
His eyes were fixed on the front, as if he wanted to find Ji Lier's figure through the endless void.
The great elder of the Ximen family, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he saw Ximen Lie's appearance.
He hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage and spoke carefully:
"Clan leader, in my opinion, it was most likely the people from the Tianyan Sect who kidnapped the young lady. Are we just going to let them go so easily? This is really hard to swallow!"
The Third Elder's voice sounded particularly weak and trembling under the raging wind, as if it could be blown away by the wind at any time.
He frowned, his eyes fixed on the direction where the people from Tianyan Sect were gradually moving away, as if he wanted to see through their backs and find a clue from them.
When Ximen Lie heard this, his body trembled slightly.
A complex and indecipherable look flashed across his eyes, seeming to be anger and helplessness.
He took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his chest. "Great Elder, our spies have been watching them the whole time. The people from Tianyan Sect did not leave at all during the entire banquet. They had no chance to save Ximen Li at all."
"Also, I just observed carefully and Ji Li'er was not among them. So, judging from the current situation, it is really unlikely that they took Ximen Li away."
Ximen Lie's mind was like a kaleidoscope of thoughts, constantly recalling every subtle scene at the banquet, not missing any possible clues.
But no matter how he recalled it, everything seemed so calm, so calm that it felt a little weird.
There were no signs of anything unusual, no suspicious characters, not even the slightest sign of movement.
This made Ximen Lie feel even more uneasy, and he couldn't help but begin to doubt his own judgment.
