Chapter 1551: Forced To Be A Scapegoat? (2/2)

“Looks like you haven’t made up your mind either. However, since you want to hand me over to the Dongfang Clan, so be it. I’ll take a trip with you guys to that place.” Li Qiye smiled. In his opinion, since he was already involved, might as well go all the way and finished a good deed.

The clan master took a deep breath and felt relieved. He was waiting for Li Qiye to say this.

“Very well. Just be aware of your own choice. I can’t guarantee anything else but your daughter will definitely be safe!” The clan master finished.

Li Qiye chuckled and said flatly: “Don’t worry, I am a man who always picks the right choice.” He left after saying this.

The clan master’s eyes turned cold. Everything that has transpired so far has escaped his expectation. In the past, he would think that Li Qiye would be panicking after being caught, especially when his daughter was in the hands of the Wenren Clan.

However, this ordinary brat was too calm and completely indifferent to everything. This made it quite difficult for the clan master to have a grasp of the situation.

He really wanted to use the hostages to force Li Qiye to admit that he was a spy from Soaring Hawk. With that, the storm would subside quickly and the relations.h.i.+p between the two clans could be mended. Moreover, that was a great opportunity for their clans to join against Soaring Hawk as well.

However, Li Qiye’s att.i.tude was too bizarre. The guy was too calm as if he has predicted everything. Such nonchalant att.i.tude made the clan master question whether he should recklessly implement this plan.

In his mind now, it was good enough for Li Qiye to admit fault. As long as they handed him over to the Dongfang Clan, that would be considered an appropriate answer to this whole mess.

“Go, inquire meticulously about who this brat is and where he came from.” The clan master eventually ordered the disciples from the clan.

After Li Qiye returned to his place, he found the place swarming with Wenren disciples. It was on lockdown with patrols everywhere. Of course, it wasn’t to protect him, only to stop him from escaping.

Wenren Jians.h.i.+ came to him and said: “Brother Li, I’m afraid it’s too late for you to leave now. The chance is gone.”

“I haven’t thought about escaping.” Li Qiye smiled and said: “Plus, if I wish to escape, your clan wouldn’t be able to stop me.”

Jians.h.i.+’s eyes slightly batted. He couldn’t see through this man at all so he didn’t know whether the guy was a master or was just putting up an act.

“Tomorrow, the Dongfang Clan will come and take you back to their clan. Though we’ll be going there with you, you need to take care of yourself then.” He said solemnly.

“Do you think I’m your brother-in-law?” Li Qiye asked Jians.h.i.+ who was about to leave.

Jians.h.i.+ gave him a playful smile: “If you’re not my brother-in-law, why do you insist on staying here? Why not deny it?”

“Makes sense.” Li Qiye smiled back: “To your clan, whether I’m the real thing or not isn’t important as long as I admit it to become a scapegoat. Your father might not know but you certainly do.”

Jians.h.i.+ slowly said: “Brother Li, you can’t blame me for this. I wasn’t trying to implicate you and gave you opportunities to leave. The way I see it, you’re the one who has an ulterior motive by wanting to stay here.”

“Well said, I don’t blame you.” Li Qiye laughed: “I actually wanted to join in this trouble, just having some fun.”

Jians.h.i.+ became quiet. His father didn’t know that LI Qiye was fake but he knew the truth. However, they were already riding the tiger and as Li Qiye has said, they needed a scapegoat.
