Chapter 122 Where do so many useless chapters come from?
His slightly trembling voice still betrayed his true thoughts.
Huangfu Yi crossed his arms across his chest, staring at Mu Yinchen as if he was watching a play, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Then, he turned to Ying behind him and ordered: "Ying, you will personally escort him back to the lonely island in the sea area."
Upon hearing this, Ying immediately clasped his fists respectfully and replied, "Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yinchen's eyes widened as if struck by lightning. He looked at Huangfu Yi in disbelief and screamed, "What? Didn't the Solitary Island in the Sea Area fall? You actually want me to go back and die?!"
Facing Mu Yinchen's questioning, Huangfu Yi still had that half-smile on his face, and responded slowly: "You may be able to deceive Master, but in front of me, such a little trick can't be hidden from my eyes."
Huangfu Yi had already noticed the clues.
Although Mu Yinchen always appears to be impeccable and watertight in front of everyone, as the saying goes: Even the wisest man can make mistakes, and even the most careful can still make mistakes.
After all, he missed some crucial details due to a momentary negligence.
Just like at this moment, beneath his seemingly calm appearance, there is a subtle flaw hidden - his slightly trembling voice.
Although it was extremely subtle, if you listened carefully, you could still feel the anxiety and tension deep in his heart.
Mu Yinchen clenched his teeth tightly, a look of determination flashed across his eyes, and he said firmly, "I will never go back!"
Hearing this, Huangfu Yi, who was standing opposite him, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked with a half-smile: "Oh? Do you think you can openly disobey my orders?"
Facing Huangfu Yi's questioning, Mu Yinchen showed no intention of backing down. Instead, he clenched his fists even tighter, so tightly that his knuckles began to turn white.
He roared angrily, "I know everything! My father's death wasn't an accident; he was murdered! As his eldest son, I'd be remiss if I didn't avenge him! Even if it means sacrificing my own life, I'll tear the murderer into pieces to comfort my father's soul!"
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Huangfu Yi's ears.
He looked at the emotional Mu Yinchen in front of him with astonishment, thinking to himself: How is this possible?
He had clearly instructed all those who knew about the matter to keep it a secret and not to reveal a single word.
What went wrong? Do we really have to kill all those who knew about this to prevent the news from leaking out?
Mu Yinchen turned his head stubbornly to the side, his eyes firm and persistent, and uttered four words: "I'm going."
The tone seemed to leave no room for negotiation.
Huangfu Yi, standing by, was stunned at first, then, as if he had just heard the biggest joke in the world, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain on his face, "Just you? Don't forget, you're in a difficult situation right now - you can barely protect yourself! You're still thinking of revenge? What on earth can you use to get revenge?"
No matter how Mu Yinchen learned about this matter, it was not difficult for Huangfu Yi to find out the ins and outs of it.
Mu Yinchen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He clenched his fists and spoke slowly, "I'm well aware that I'm currently weak and limited, but even if there's only the slightest hope or chance, I won't give up easily. All these days, I've been secretly investigating the truth of the matter. Hard work pays off, and now I finally have some clues and some clues. I believe that the black hand hiding behind the scenes and manipulating everything will sooner or later receive the punishment they deserve and will not continue to get away with it!"
Huangfu Yi, who was originally smiling, suddenly put away his smile. His sharp eyes like an eagle stared at Mu Yinchen, as if he wanted to see through the other's appearance and directly peek into his inner thoughts.
After a moment, he said coldly: "It seems that you still have a lot of secrets hidden from me."
Mu Yinchen's heart suddenly trembled, and a look of astonishment involuntarily appeared on his face. He quickly retorted: "What are you talking about?! I don't have any secrets from you..."
But as soon as he said this, he realized that his reaction was a little too intense, which only made it more obvious.
At this moment, he truly felt a fear and uneasiness that Huangfu Yi had completely seen through him. This feeling was like a thorn in his back, making him uncomfortable all over.
He really hated the feeling of being exposed to others without reservation and losing control.
But the person in front of me is Huangfu Yi...
"Take him away." Huangfu Yi waved his hand expressionlessly, as if he was already confident about what was happening in front of him.
At this moment, saying another word is a waste of time. Only direct action can solve the problem.
"Yes." Ying, who was standing aside, took a step forward without hesitation after receiving the order, stretched out his hands and tightly grasped Mu Yinchen's arms.
He just flashed and quickly took Mu Yinchen away without any delay.
Mu Yinchen's cries filled with reluctance and unwillingness to leave echoed in the air for a long time, but none of this could change the established facts.
Huangfu Yi looked at their receding backs and shook his head helplessly.
He thought to himself: I'm afraid even Master Xiao and the others wouldn't be willing to let him go back.
And in fact, it was just as Huangfu Yi expected.
When Master Xiao and Dongfang Ti returned to the old woman's house, they immediately began to arrange the follow-up matters without stopping.
"Hurry up and let Dongfang Qingshui and the others pack their luggage. We must set off overnight!" Master Xiao said to Dongfang Ti with a serious expression.
Dongfang Qingshui, who was in a daze, was awakened by this sudden change and asked in confusion: "Second Uncle, what's going on? Why are you so anxious? I haven't slept enough..."
Dongfang Ti frowned upon seeing this, raised his hand and gently tapped Dongfang Qingshui on the head, scolding him, "Just do as I tell you to do, why are you talking so much nonsense!"
After being lectured by his second uncle, Dongfang Qingshui could only curl his lips. He was dissatisfied but did not dare to disobey the order. He muttered in response: "Oh..."
At the same time, Master Xiao walked quickly into the yard and whispered to others to get up, pack their luggage, and prepare to leave immediately.
The whole yard became busy in an instant. Although everyone was full of doubts, in front of the serious expressions of Master Xiao and Dongfang Ti, no one dared to ask a single question, and they all acted quickly as required.
"Don't get up!" Master Xiao pointed his finger gloomily at Huangfu Yi's men, his tone harsh and unquestionable.
His men were immediately bewildered, and one of them couldn't help but exclaim in confusion: "Huh?"
Master Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, snorted coldly, and then said, "Well, you just wait here obediently for Huangfu Yi to come back before making any plans."
These subordinates looked at each other. Although they were somewhat reluctant, they also knew that it was not appropriate to disobey Master Xiao's orders at this time.
After all, they really need to wait for their young master to come back before making a final decision.
At the same time, Dongfang Qingmo in the room tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
When she heard the noise outside, she immediately sat up alertly.
"Shui Shui, wake up quickly, we should set off." Dongfang Qingmo called softly while gently shaking Qian Shui Shui who was sleeping beside him.
Qing Liu, who was sleeping on the other side, was originally a light sleeper. He quickly opened his eyes after hearing the sound and asked drowsily, "Miss? What happened?"
Dongfang Qingmo hurriedly explained to her: "Qingliu, the situation has changed. We can't stay here any longer. We must leave as soon as possible."
Qingliu came to her senses instantly after hearing this. She nodded vigorously to show that she understood what the young lady meant.
Qian Shuishui felt that she had just fallen asleep for a short while when she was awakened by a loud noise.
