Yue Siqing let out a cold snort, her face still displaying a frosty expression, clearly unimpressed with Yue Manlan's explanation.
Ever since Yue Manlan arrived, she had been disrupting her life.
The only reason she had extended her help to Lan Qingyan was due to their blood relationship. However, Yue Manlan not only failed to show gratitude, but also had numerous objections. If it weren't for the substantial gifts sent by Lan Jing, Siqing would have long expelled Yue Manlan.
If it weren't for the excessive noise caused by Lan Qingyan in recent days, she wouldn't have needed to use her elemental powers to seal her ears, resulting in her delayed awareness of the situation.
Siqing was not giving Yue Manlan any face at the moment, openly humiliating her in front of so many juniors.
Yue Manlan felt extremely frustrated but also helpless. It was true that she couldn't control her temper just now.
This situation triggered a sense of annoyance within her. Siqing always portrayed herself as superior, despite the fact that their statuses were not so different.
Siqing had always looked at her with the same gaze as before she got married, which filled Yue Manlan with deep dissatisfaction.
Yue Taotian wore a grim expression on his face. Although he was extremely displeased, he did not dwell on this matter. The most important thing now was to find out if the Yue family had suffered any losses.
"Siqing, are your disciples all here? Have they suffered any losses?"
Siqing turned her head to look at Jile Xue and the others. Upon doing so, she realized that Xuan Yi was not among the crowd, causing her eyebrows to furrow in concern.
"Where is Xuan Yi?"
As Siqing asked this question, Jile Xue and the others were taken aback. Previously, they had only been concerned about the possibility of Siqing being harmed and had not paid attention to anything else.
It was only now, when Siqing inquired about it, that they realized they had not seen Xuan Yi at all.
"Master, I'll go and check!"
Jile Xue bowed and, upon receiving Siqing's affirmation, hurriedly rushed to the place where Xuan Yi lived.
When Jile Xue arrived at the residence, she discovered that it was empty, with no signs of disturbance, indicating that Xuan Yi had already left.
"Master, Xuan Yi is not in the house," Jile Xue truthfully reported.
As Jile Xue's words fell, the crowd couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, their faces filled with incredulity.
"Could it be that Xuan Yi is the one who came for revenge?"
"I've always seen Xuan Yi as honest, reliable, and not showing any signs of malicious intent!"
"Is it possible that someone has abducted Xuan Yi?"
Jile Xue's expression was extremely complicated. Over the past month, she had gotten along quite well with Xuan Yi.
However, she always felt that Xuan Yi was somewhat inscrutable, as if there was a layer of mysterious veil draped over him, making it difficult to see clearly.
After today's events, she suddenly felt that all of this might be related to Xuan Yi.
Perhaps, the part that she couldn't see clearly all along was right here.
Siqing's face gradually changed from gloomy to astonished, and finally, it transformed into anger.
She had always been cautious of Xuan Yi because of his unclear background. Even though she had sent people to investigate his identity, they hadn't found any clues.
However, based on Xuan Yi's behavior in these past few days, he seemed completely devoid of any intentions. As a result, she had gradually let go of her guard.
She never expected that such a thing would happen today. She had a premonition that Xuan Yi might be behind all of this.
Otherwise, it would be too coincidental for Xuan Yi to disappear on the same day.
