Chapter 330 He kicked him out
"Xie Cangming, my boss has disappeared! Quickly mobilize the people in the palace to search for him!"
"Hey, hey~ Don't tug at my sleeve, Hua Buyu, you woman..."
He flung his hands away forcefully, quickly stuffing them into his robes. Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the elders around him, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and made a feigned cough.
"Ahem~ I have something important to tell you, you may all follow me."
He turned and left immediately after speaking, afraid that Hua Buyu might say something reckless and make him lose face in front of those old guys.
Even though... he has already lost face.
Seeing this, Xin Moling immediately lifted her leg and followed closely behind.
Xie Cangming walked quite a distance before finally stopping at a corner of a pavilion.
He stared at a cluster of purple flowers and nodded in satisfaction. "Over the years, those old guys have done a decent job maintaining the Xuanming Palace. These purple irises are blooming beautifully, just my taste. I wonder who planted them?"
Unexpectedly, he stood in front of the iris bushes for a long time, his eyes narrowed as he gradually became thoughtful.
Seeing this leisurely and elegant demeanor infuriated Hua Buyu, who yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Elder Xie, didn't you have something to say? Hurry up, do you know where Xuan Yuan is?"
"...Can't you be a little more polite?"
"cannot!"
She stood with her hands on her hips, pouting, clearly displaying an attitude of provoking trouble.
"Xie Cangming, you brought us to this palace to find Yan Yan. Now we haven't found Yan Yan, and instead we've lost my boss. You have to give me an explanation!"
His blue eyes were deep and unfathomable as he glared at Hua Buyu through gritted teeth.
"Is this how you ask for help?"
"I beg you? Ha! Shouldn't this be..."
"okay!"
They were arguing when Xin Moling coldly rebuked them. He walked straight up to them, his eyes sharp and his handsome face unusually solemn and cold.
"Xie Cangming, where is Xuan Yuan?"
Xie Cangming spread his hands, then smiled helplessly, "A-Ling, I'm not in a hurry, why are you?"
"So...you really know where he is?"
"I know, I know. This elder is hungry so early in the morning. Qingque, go and call Feng Qingyang to come and have a meal together."
He yawned lazily, seemingly intending to go back to sleep.
"Qiang!"
Fei'e and Liuqing simultaneously drew their swords, aiming them directly at Xie Cangming's eyes.
"Grand Preceptor, please inform us of the master's whereabouts."
"Oh! You're threatening me now? If you two get into trouble like this, don't wait until those old guys see you, they'll beat you to a pulp."
Xie Cangming didn't seem to care about having two swords pointed at his face, and continued to joke around calmly.
"Xie Cangming, you..."
"Hmph! Call me uncle."
Xie Cangming turned his face away haughtily. When he saw Mo'er later, he would definitely give her a good talking to about her impolite brother.
"..."
"Uncle... Uncle."
Xin Moling finally called out the name. He knew that his mother and Xie Cangming had a deep friendship over the years, so it was perfectly reasonable for her to call him "uncle." Besides, if he didn't call him that now, this guy probably wouldn't tell him where Xuan Yuan was.
"Uh……"
Xie Cangming's eyes widened, and he stood there stunned.
"Ah... Ah Ling, you really called me?"
"Hehe~" Xie Cangming tried to suppress his inner excitement, but he just couldn't bring himself to smile.
Xin Moling: "..."
"Are you going to say it or not?"
Xie Cangming was overjoyed to be called "uncle," and his mood improved considerably.
"Hehe~ It's alright to tell you, Xuan Yuan is... nothing serious, he was just kicked out."
"Kick them out? Kick them out to where? Elder Xie Cang... Elder Xie, could you please finish your sentence at once?"
Hua Buyu composed herself, panicking when she heard that Xuan Yuan had been kicked out.
"Of course he was kicked out of the palace! Do you think the Emperor wouldn't know Xuan Yuan's identity?"
"What kind of status could my boss have? Could that Emperor Baili have a grudge against either Yelan Kingdom or Yuanqi Kingdom, which is why he's so fixated on Xuan Yuan?"
“Chou? Mo’er is the sister they finally found. She’s the only princess in the entire Ancient Cang. Do you think he would let Xuan Yuan see Mo’er so easily? Besides, I didn’t know that the Emperor already knew he was Mo’er’s future husband before bringing him into the palace. It’s a miracle that Xuan Yuan didn’t get his head chopped off.”
"Ha! Xuan Yuan was originally Yan Yan's husband. Even Xin Moling, her own brother, agreed. Why can't he just disagree? I thought that Emperor Baili was cold-hearted, but it turns out he's such a beast in human form, kicking Xuan Yuan out in the middle of the night, damn it!"
"..."
"..."
The corners of the mouths of several men twitched simultaneously.
"Grand Preceptor, my master is highly skilled in martial arts, so how could he have been tricked by that emperor? Also, where is my master right now?"
Fei'e tried to remain polite. Even though Baili Juebi had designs on his master, he would find his master first and then make other plans.
"Yes, yes! Xuan Yuan is so powerful and vigilant, how did Baili Juebi manage to drive him out of the palace right under his nose?"
Xie Cangming stroked his chin and said meaningfully, "Well, it's no use for you to know what happened last night. Xuan Yuan is no longer in the palace. We'll talk about everything when Mo'er returns. As for where Xuan Yuan is, he'll have to figure that out for himself."
"Then I'll go find that Emperor Baili."
"Liuqing, calm down!"
Xie Cangming's expression changed, and his tone became unusually serious and solemn.
"You two stay by A-Ling's side. Once Mo'er returns, everything will be resolved. You are not allowed to denounce the Emperor. He can destroy you with ease."
"Hmph! My master's whereabouts are unknown. Even if I die, I will make him reveal where he is."
"boom!"
Hua Buyu slammed her fist on his head, then rolled her eyes.
"You impulsive fool, why did you act so rashly at this crucial moment? Xie Cangming is right, we need to see at least one of Yan Yan and Xuan Yuan first. And when Yan Yan comes back, I'm going to expose the true face of that Baili Juebi to her. Don't make any rash moves..."
Halfway through her sentence, she turned her head and stared intently at Xie Cangming.
"Grand Preceptor, please tell me first, is Xuan Yuan in any danger right now?"
"Well... with his abilities, he shouldn't be in any danger."
"What do you mean by 'should be'? Is there any danger?"
Hua Buyu became increasingly agitated as she spoke, and almost grabbed Xue Se's collar.
Xuan Yuan was more important to her than anyone else, except for Yan Yan, of course.
"...I can predict some things in the future, but I'm not a god. How could I know the specifics and details? Hua Buyu, you're being too unreasonable."
Xie Cangming waved his robe, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation.
"Go and call Feng Qingyang. Mo'er should be here by the time we have breakfast."
"Yan... Yan Yan, are we really almost there?"
