"Li Ge, what's wrong?"
Seeing Li Chonglou standing there with a grave expression, Yue Hai felt extremely anxious.
He had already witnessed Yu Ke's brother's character. Taking someone away at a time like this, anyone with a brain would know he had no good intentions!
But it wasn't that Li Chonglou wasn't in a hurry, it was that there was no use in being anxious.
"The situation has changed, Xiao Hai, you should leave first."
Yue Hai's brows furrowed. "Li Ge, what about Xiao Ke?"
"Don't worry, I'll take her with me. The most important thing now is that you don't get discovered by the Yu family."
Only then did Yue Hai realize he was a burden, and his expression immediately became somewhat dejected.
Li Chonglou comforted him, "Don't overthink it. A fifth-level cultivator has arrived."
Yue Hai was greatly alarmed and quickly looked around, his guard instantly raised to the highest level.
"A fifth-level expert? Where?"
Li Chonglou patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, just leave it to me. You go back first. I might need reinforcements, so go back to the company and wait for instructions."
Yue Hai immediately understood Li Chonglou's meaning, his expression hardened, and he nodded seriously.
"Then I'll be heading back."
With that, Yue Hai did not delay any further, unfolding his movement technique and heading out of the Yu family.
At this moment, most of the Yu family's experts were gathered at the patriarch's mansion, which was the best time to leave.
Meanwhile, those in the patriarch's mansion had agreed to capture Li Chonglou and the other person together.
Bai Sha, on the rooftop, saw the crux of the problem and did not actively reveal their whereabouts, only stating that when he returned, the two were still in the place of confinement accompanying Yu Ke.
"Then let's not delay any longer, we'll go now, perhaps we can even catch them in a pincer movement!"
Fourth Master immediately proposed. Second Master, outwardly calm, sighed inwardly at his strength, and could only agree with a nod.
He wasn't truly discussing with everyone, but was forced by Fourth Master. If Fourth Master hadn't come out to cause trouble, he could have achieved his own goal by now and taken control of the entire Yu family's situation!
As the two masters nodded, everyone began to move in a grand procession towards the place of confinement.
By the time they arrived, Li Chonglou and the other person had already left. However, before they could enter, they heard Zhou Fangwei's indifferent voice.
"The people you're looking for have already left."
It was the same sentence, but the people in front of them were clearly not easy to deal with. Fourth Master said loudly, "Senior Zhou, this is of great importance, please forgive our intrusion."
After speaking, he gave Ning Qiu a look.
Ning Qiu first clasped his hands towards the house before stepping forward to enter.
However, what no one expected was that in the next second, a peak fifth-level aura suddenly surged forth, almost instantly engulfing everyone!
Including the two masters, everyone's expressions drastically changed.
Second Master shouted, "Zhou Fangwei! What are you doing! Are you colluding with outsiders!"
"Yu Yang, if you want to die, I can grant you that now."
Zhou Fangwei's voice carried a killing intent. Second Master was merely an ordinary person and could not withstand it. His face instantly turned pale, and he stumbled backward repeatedly.
Only when Mr. Hong behind him supported him did he stop.
As the second-in-command of the Yu family, to be treated with such disrespect by a guard, Second Master's paleness was not just from being scared, but more from anger!
"Zhou Fangwei! Are you crazy? You want to kill me too?"
Zhou Fangwei's indifferent voice came from inside the house again.
"I only obey the Patriarch. What are you to me?"
As soon as these words were uttered, even Fourth Master was startled and quickly gave Ning Qiu another look. This time, it was not a hint to act, but to retreat!
Ning Qiu had been waiting for this command. Swallowing hard, he immediately took Fourth Master and retreated behind everyone.
In an instant, the situation became a standoff between Second Master's faction and Zhou Fangwei inside the house.
As for Bai Sha, he had already seen that things were not right and retreated to the side with his men!
Senior Zhou is about to show his power.
Bai Sha muttered to himself. In the Yu family, aside from the Patriarch, Zhou Fangwei had the highest prestige. Although they looked similar in age, they were generations apart!
Zhou Fangwei had served at least three Patriarchs! This was also why he chose to remain neutral in this matter. In his eyes, as long as the Yu family remained, everything else could be left unattended!
Most importantly, in Bai Sha's many years in the Yu family, this was the first time he had seen Zhou Fangwei so resolute. In the past, he rarely meddled in affairs.
This also made Bai Sha suspicious, because Zhou Fangwei's actions seemed to indicate a desire to protect Li Chonglou and the others. But weren't these two outsiders?
In fact, it wasn't just him; everyone else now wore expressions of doubt. As for Second Master, the center of the incident, he was momentarily in a difficult position.
"Zhou Fangwei! I am the Second Master of the Yu family, and you are just one of my Yu family's guards! How dare you speak to me like this?"
Second Master was clearly very angry, whether it was for his own authority or because he had an expert protecting him behind him, he dared to confront Zhou Fangwei head-on.
Fourth Master, who had come with him, had already retreated to a distance. Hearing Second Master's words, he frowned.
"Who is this old second one allied with that gives him such confidence?"
Knowing Second Master's character, Fourth Master naturally knew it. Seeing Zhou Fangwei's unusual behavior today, he still chose to confront him!
If it weren't for that man in grey, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death!
However, inside the confinement area, Zhou Fangwei's attitude remained equally unyielding.
"As long as it's not the Patriarch, everyone must take a stand. Those who are not afraid of death can come in!"
Mr. Hong behind Second Master's eyes instantly turned cold. He suddenly stepped forward, but was instinctively stopped by Second Master.
"Mr. Hong, not so fast."
Second Master's expression was grim, but he seemed to have regained some reason.
"Although he is uncooperative, he has never lied. I think the people have already left."
Fourth Master, who was at a distance, also stepped forward to smooth things over. "We are all family, let's talk nicely. Since Senior Zhou says the people are no longer inside, I don't think Senior Zhou would lie to his own family for the sake of two outsiders."
There was no response from inside. It seemed that as long as they did not step into his territory, Zhou Fangwei disdained to pay attention.
Second Master cast a cold glance at the house, waved his hand, and turned around.
"Send everyone out to search! We must find these two intruders!"
After speaking, Second Master added.
"And Yu Ke! If you see her, arrest her too! They came for her, perhaps the one betraying the Yu family is her!"
Bai Sha's expression changed slightly. Among the crowd, he was the one who had just interacted with Yu Ke. Judging from her words and reactions, there was no betrayal at all.
Moreover, Li Chonglou and the other person did not say they intended to invade the Yu family. Second Master's words undoubtedly dragged innocent people into it.
However, among those present, only he and the two masters had clear minds. It was difficult for him to speak up at the moment.
"Alas, I hope they will be alright. This situation is becoming more and more complicated."
