At this moment, Li Changsheng was both confused and felt a little wronged.
Earlier, when the black smoke filled the air, he hadn't moved an inch from his spot. When the smoke dispersed, Yu Tongbao was already lying at his feet...
He had no idea what had happened!
"Li Changsheng, for someone who is the Deputy Hall Master of the Order Hall, are you afraid to admit what you've done?" Luo You taunted from beneath Huo Qiyang's foot.
"Li Changsheng, if you're scared, then quickly release us and take your people and get lost!"
"You can still leave with your people now. Once Young Master Long returns, you won't be able to get away!"
"Young Master Long will definitely seek justice for us when he returns!"
"..."
Li Changsheng's words made everyone in the Miaobao Pavilion think he was scared and that he had injured Yu Tongbao but dared not admit it.
In fact, not only the people of Miaobao Pavilion, but even Huo Qiyang and Qin Qiong, believed that Li Changsheng had injured Yu Tongbao.
After all, Yu Tongbao was lying at Li Changsheng's feet!
Furthermore, as the Pavilion Master of Miaobao Pavilion, Yu Tongbao's strength was significantly greater than Luo You's. Who else at the scene, besides Li Changsheng, could have injured Yu Tongbao to this extent in such a short time?
Listening to everyone's words and sensing their emotions, Li Changsheng felt utterly helpless!
Seeing that he couldn't explain clearly, he stopped trying. He grabbed Yu Tongbao from the ground and said to Xue Qiao'er and the others, "Let's go!"
He carried Yu Tongbao and turned to walk out of the Miaobao Pavilion.
Because Yu Tongbao was severely injured and his hands were disabled, he was held in Li Changsheng's hand and had lost the ability to resist!
"Stop! Where are you taking our Pavilion Master?"
Luo You shouted, trying to struggle to his feet.
However, as soon as his body moved, Huo Qiyang stomped him back down to the ground.
Li Changsheng replied without looking back, "Our Order Hall has suffered two deaths and three injuries this time, all caused by your Miaobao Pavilion. I am taking him back to the capital for judgment!"
The people of Miaobao Pavilion, though their faces were filled with anger and they didn't want Yu Tongbao to be taken away, dared not pursue Li Changsheng to rescue him!
They had already witnessed Li Changsheng's strength earlier. If they went up, it would be nothing but seeking abuse.
Li Changsheng walked a distance with Yu Tongbao. Huo Qiyang and Qin Qiong removed their feet from Luo You and the other protectors, snorted, and followed Li Changsheng.
"Qin Yi, let's go!"
Xue Qiao'er called out to Qin Yi as she passed by him.
She was afraid that he would, like yesterday, fail to keep up.
Therefore, Qin Yi glanced around at Luo You and the others from Miaobao Pavilion, who were staring at Li Changsheng's retreating back with burning eyes and extreme anger but utter helplessness. He shook his head with a chuckle and turned to follow Xue Qiao'er and the others, leaving.
A short while later, Qin Yi and the others exited the Miaobao Pavilion and arrived at the cars parked outside. The people from Miaobao Pavilion still didn't dare to chase them out.
Yu Tongbao was casually tossed into the car by Li Changsheng.
Lying in the car, Yu Tongbao didn't look at Li Changsheng or the four of them. His eyes were fixed on Qin Yi.
Xue Qiao'er sensed this and asked, confused, "Why are you looking at him like that?"
After a period of relief, Yu Tongbao's pain had finally subsided somewhat. He spoke to Qin Yi, "Kid, I underestimated you!!!"
Earlier, he had taken out a small ball, creating such thick black smoke to block everyone's vision and suddenly attacked Qin Yi, thinking that Qin Yi was a pushover!
If he could capture Qin Yi, he could use him as a hostage and force Li Changsheng and the others to retreat.
But Yu Tongbao never dreamed that Qin Yi was not a pushover. On the contrary, he was so powerful. His sneak attack not only failed to capture the other party but resulted in him being severely injured and losing his combat ability!
At this moment, Qin Yi also guessed the purpose of the other party's sneak attack on him earlier. He smiled and said, "You indeed underestimated me!"
Listening to their conversation, Fang Zheng'ao asked, confused, "What are you two talking about?"
Xue Qiao'er and the others looked puzzled.
Qin Yi did not hide anything and recounted the incident where the other party had attacked him earlier.
Without any surprise, Fang Zheng'ao, Xue Qiao'er, Huo Qiyang, and Qin Qiong were stunned upon hearing his words!
"This..." Huo Qiyang exclaimed, "He was injured by you, not by the Deputy Hall Master!!!"
Li Changsheng stared at Qin Yi, his expression somewhat complex as he said, "So it was you!"
However, soon after, recalling that Qin Yi had killed Long Shi last night, they reacted with understanding.
If Qin Yi could easily defeat Long Shi, then defeating Yu Tongbao was not surprising!
At this moment, Li Changsheng also recalled that some time ago, after listening to Xue Qiao'er's words, he had sent Gong Xuan to 'educate' Qin Yi, and the words Gong Xuan had reported to him afterward...
Gong Xuan told him that Qin Yi's strength was no weaker than his own, and he could not educate Qin Yi!
Therefore, Li Changsheng asked Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, what is your cultivation level?"
As he asked this question, Fang Zheng'ao and the other four stared fixedly at Qin Yi, waiting for his answer!
They were also very curious about Qin Yi's cultivation level!
Sensing everyone's gaze, Qin Yi retorted, "Deputy Hall Master Li, I'm also very curious, what is your cultivation level?"
"..."
Li Changsheng was stunned and did not answer.
Seeing this, Qin Yi shrugged and said, "If you're unwilling to tell me, why do you ask me!"
Li Changsheng's old face turned red, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
The cultivation level of a martial artist was indeed a rather private matter. Under normal circumstances, very few people would directly ask about another person's cultivation level! It was like ordinary people wouldn't rashly ask about each other's salaries!
Afterward, Li Changsheng cleared his throat and said, "I apologize, it was presumptuous of me!"
"It's fine!" Qin Yi waved his hand, unconcerned.
Immediately afterward, Li Changsheng announced that he was taking Yu Tongbao back to the headquarters in the capital and asked Qin Yi if he wanted to go to the capital.
Qin Yi thought for a moment and refused.
He wasn't joining the Order Hall, so why would he go back to their headquarters in the capital!
Li Changsheng did not insist. He, along with Fang Zheng'ao, Huo Qiyang, and Qin Qiong, took Yu Tongbao and left.
Xue Qiao'er did not go back with them and continued to stay by Qin Yi's side!
She had made up her mind that if she couldn't pull Qin Yi into the Order Hall, she would pester him endlessly!
Qin Yi was helpless about this. Since she wouldn't leave on her own, he couldn't drive her away.
"What do we do next?" Qin Yi deliberately asked Xue Qiao'er.
Xue Qiao'er replied, "You decide. I'm following you anyway, wherever you go, I go."
Qin Yi was speechless and had no way to deal with Xue Qiao'er. He thought about saying let's go back to Haicheng.
But before he could even speak, he saw a beautiful and familiar figure appear in a certain direction and walk towards them...
