The scene was in chaos.
The current situation was that Baihua Pavilion and the Mo Family suspected that the disappearance of Bai Jingqing and Mo Wuji was done by the other three families.
The Lei Family and the Nan Family suspected that it was done by the Fang Family themselves, the thief crying "stop thief."
Meanwhile, the Fang Family also suspected that it was the Lei Family and the Nan Family who did it to frame them.
The Five Great Families already had grudges because of the Secret Realm, and now this matter had surfaced, almost tearing apart their facade.
Baihua Pavilion and the Mo Family were almost unable to resist taking action.
Fang Wwen was so anxious that sweat was forming on his forehead, unable to explain clearly.
The Lei Family and the Nan Family were discontent, not yielding an inch.
The atmosphere was tense, and a bloody battle seemed imminent.
At this moment, a blur appeared in everyone's vision as three figures emerged in their midst.
"Greetings to the Family Head, Great Elder, and Second Elder."
Fang Wwen identified the three individuals and quickly paid his respects, feeling relieved.
The people from the Lei Family and the Nan Family slightly bowed.
Baihua Pavilion and the Mo Family met them with cold glares.
The Fang Family Head was tall and burly, his aura formidable, exuding a terrifying pressure that made everyone present feel a shiver. His appearance calmed the situation.
The Fang Family Head, Fang Haohong, looked around, his eyes like lightning, and no one dared to meet his gaze.
Then, he looked toward the people of Baihua Pavilion and the Mo Family and said indifferently, "I understand the matter clearly. Since it happened in our Fang Family, I will definitely give you an explanation.
If everyone believes in me, please remain calm, and I will do my utmost to find the Holy Daughter Bai Sheng and the Young Master of Mo."
"Family Head Fang, do you think this matter still needs investigating? It's obvious that it was done by your three families together."
Chen Qingxia, despite being a woman, was bold and protective. Although the person in front of her was the Fang Family Head, the life of Bai Jingqing and the future of Baihua Pavilion were at stake, leaving her no regard for anything else.
Fang Haohong looked at Chen Qingxia, and the pressure around him intensified invisibly.
However, Chen Qingxia, though completely suppressed and with a chill down her back, refused to show weakness, staring coldly at Fang Haohong.
"Family Head Fang, both the Holy Daughter of Baihua Pavilion and the Young Master of my Mo Family disappeared at your Fang Family. Even if you make up excuses, your Fang Family cannot escape involvement. If Family Head Fang intends to use force, our low Cultivation can only yield.
However, Wuji is the future and hope of my Mo Family. If something happens to him, it will sever the prospects of my Mo Family. I swear, the Mo Family will definitely not relent."
Mo Fushui was an old fox; he wouldn't bluntly rebuke Fang Haohong. However, the threat in his words was unmistakable.
"Insolent! This is the Fang Family; you can't run wild here!"
The Great Elder of the Fang Family, Fang Weiran, darkened his face and scolded angrily.
Fang Haohong waved his hand, looking at the people of Baihua Pavilion and the Mo Family, and said indifferently, "Rest assured, as the incident happened within my Fang Family, we will not shirk responsibility. I can offer an opportunity to the perpetrator to hand over the Holy Daughter Bai Sheng and the Young Master of Mo.
Committing a crime within my Fang Family clearly shows disregard for us. If I find out who did it, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Lei Feiming and Nan Beitian looked as though they had been smeared with soot; Fang Haohong's words clearly insinuated their two families.
Baihua Pavilion and the Mo Family couldn't have kidnapped Bai Jingqing and Mo Wuji themselves, so the suspicion lay only with their two families.
Nan Beitian was an old and shrewd man. Since this was the Fang Family's territory, and especially with Fang Haohong's status and Cultivation beyond comparison, confronting them was not a wise move.
"Then investigate! The Fang Family is tightly guarded; not even a mosquito can get in. I think the person must still be in the Fang Family."
Lei Feiming smiled slightly. Nan Beitian's words were rather cunning. Aren't you suspecting our two families? We're suspecting your Fang Family as well. With such tight security, if people aren't found, it only means it was done by the Fang Family.
The members of the Fang Family looked quite displeased.
Everyone who could speak here was like an old fox. Finding out which of them grabbed Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing would be as hard as scaling the heavens.
Moreover, these were all representatives of various families; the Fang Family didn't dare to offend so many people at once.
Currently, the only way to resolve this matter was to find Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing.
Fang Haohong said in a deep voice, "Everyone, listen to my order: conduct a thorough search; not even a rat's hole or seam should be overlooked. We must find the Holy Daughter Bai Sheng and the Young Master of Mo."
"Yes."
With the Family Head's order, neither elders nor disciples dared to disobey.
The Great Elder, Fang Weiran, approached Fang Haohong and whispered, "Family Head, the auspicious time is approaching. Should we first..."
Fang Haohong glared at him coldly, "Is the auspicious time so important? This wedding is only to lure out Qin Yi. Put aside anything, no matter how big, until we find the people.
Are you aware of what Bai Jingqing and Mo Wuji mean to Baihua Pavilion and the Mo Family? If anything really happens to these two, Qin Yi won't need to act; internal strife will destroy the Five Families."
Fang Weiran quickly bowed, "The Family Head is right; my perspective was too narrow."
"Damn, what is all this about?"
Suddenly, an inappropriate voice rang out, quite abrupt in this setting.
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice and found it was Fang Zhiyi, who had arrived unnoticed.
Fang Zhiyi was dressed in a bright red wedding attire, full of spirit, eagerly anticipating pressing the beautiful Lan Jiaojiao under him that night, excitement making him tremble all over, rushing here impatiently.
But with the disappearance of Bai Jingqing and Mo Wuji, didn't that mean his dream was dashed? So he muttered subconsciously.
"Slap!"
Fang Haohong slapped him across the air, sending Fang Zhiyi flying with a distorted face.
This fool couldn't see the situation clearly or distinguish the urgency of the matter.
The elders of the Fang Family, watching the lamenting Fang Zhiyi, all shook their heads. As the dignified Fang Family, it had fallen to the point where they couldn't even select an outstanding junior.
All members of the Fang Family began a thorough search.
...
Behind an artificial hill in the distance, two people in Fang Family disciple attire were hiding.
"It seems your plan went awry," one of the shorter Fang Family disciples whispered, sounding somewhat schadenfreude.
The two were Lan Jiaojiao and Qin Yi.
Both of them had changed into Fang Family disciple attire.
Qin Yi frowned slightly. Indeed, the development of the situation was different from his expectations.
His original plan was to wait until Fang Zhiyi finished the wedding, lifted the veil, and found that the bride was that girl named Xiaolian.
She was the Fang Family Head's woman, yet she ended up marrying Fang Zhiyi.
With the Fang Family Head and the Young Master sharing a woman, once this spread, the Fang Family would become the laughingstock of all.
But even the best plan can overlook something; he hadn't anticipated the Fang Family Head postponing the grand wedding.
Wasn't this wedding a carefully laid trap for him? Could it be postponed so easily, as if he was not important at all?
Qin Yi rolled his eyes and said to Lan Jiaojiao, "Be careful yourself. I'll be back soon."
