Chapter 658: Ascending Moon Old Man Leaving
Not long after Huang Xiaolong and Xie Puti left the restaurant, footsteps thundered into the premise, causing the building to shake beneath the force. The Black Warrior Institute patrolling disciples and experts belonging to the Li Family finally arrived at the scene.
The door to the private room was pushed open as these people went inside. Coming upon Li Zishuai’s bloodied condition, each person present sucked in a breath of cold air.
Li Donghai quickly helped Li Zishuai up, swiftly stuffing a divine grade spirit pellet into his mouth, and even infusing his own god battle qi into Li Zishuai’s body to stabilize his injuries. When Li Zishuai’s condition finally stabilized, Li Donghai looked over toward the Black Warrior Institute patrolling disciples, shouting furiously at them, “My Li Family’s Young Master Li Zishuai was injured in your Black Warrior City. If you Black Warrior Institute disciples cannot capture the criminal, our Li Family will seek an account from the Black Warrior Institute for this matter!”
Li Zishuai was a descendant of their Li Family’s main branch, the Li Family Patriarch’s nephew. He was one of several Li Family younger generation disciples that the Li Family Ancestor valued the most, yet he was wounded to this degree within the walls of the Black Warrior City!
The condition of his lower body was a cruel handiwork!
Li Donghai, the Li Family’s Chief Steward, was enraged. Murderous aura surged intensely from his body.
The Black Warrior patrolling team leader, Qi Chengguang, raised an eyebrow, but his manner was still considered polite, “Rest assured, Chief Steward Li, we will definitely capture the person responsible for this as soon as possible.” With that said, he turned around and issued an order to check the entire city.
Li Zishuai finally regained consciousness after Li Donghai’s treatment, raving madly: “I want to kill that bastard with my own hands, I’ll kill him!!” Suddenly, he spotted Zhuo Wenting and Zhuo Wenshan huddled in a corner and hatred spewed out from his eyes: “You two bitches!” He marched over, a palm striking both women across their face.
The Zhuo sisters were sent flying from the force, their cheeks immediately swelled into pig-heads.
Li Donghai was stumped, wasn't Young Master Li Zishuai keen on that young woman Zhuo Wenshan? Even their wedding date was set, what just happened?
It didn’t take long for the Black Warrior patrolling team leader Qi Chengguang to find out Huang Xiaolong’s identity.
Hearing the report from his subordinate, Qi Chengguang was stupefied. Gradually, his brows were scrunched together into a tight frown, a bitter feeling rising in his heart. Who’d have thought that it would be this young master’s handiwork. Then again, there were very few who had the guts to wound Li Zishuai to this extent.
“Captain Qi, have you found the criminal?” Noticing Qi Chengguang’s strange expression, Li Donghai questioned solemnly.
Qi Chengguang gave a vague answer: “This, er, not yet, I’ll first return to make a report. This kind of incident occurred in our Black Warrior City, I need to make a detailed report to the higher echelons.” Without waiting for a reply from Li Donghai, Qi Chengguang turned around and left hastily.
Li Donghai’s face darkened, the look in his eyes was icy cold; it seems there was more to this matter.
In the end, Li Donghai could only return to the Li Mansion with Li Zishuai and report the matter to their Li Family Patriarch, Li Guangming.
While all of this took place, Huang Xiaolong and Xie Puti had long returned to the Luo Tong Residence. At that time, the Huang Family and the Ascending Moon Old Man had gone out, hence, Huang Xiaolong accompanied Xie Puti, numbing his pain in wine.
Both men were quiet as they drank one jug after another until dusk, when the Huang Family and the Ascending Moon Old Man returned. Only then did they stop.
“Brother, thank you for today.” Xie Puti spoke sincerely.
Huang Xiaolong waved his hand, saying, “What’s there to thank me for? If you really want to thank me, just forget that woman.”
Xie Puti heaved a heavy sigh, “It's already in the past. It is better like this, I can concentrate on my cultivation.”
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
…
The Huang Family stayed in the Black Warrior City for two days before returning to the Black Warrior Institute’s Golden Dragon Peak.
