"Why?" After a long silence, Huang Xue asked weakly.
Facing Huang Xue, facing the gaze of everyone present, Xia Liu smiled faintly and said, "Because they wanted to kill me, and I certainly couldn't just stand there and let them."
Hiss!
The sound of numerous sharp intakes of breath echoed throughout the hall.
Those security guards actually wanted to kill Xia Liu!
What on earth was going on?
Hearing this response, Huang Xue pouted her lips and said no more.
"Xia Liu, explain yourself more clearly!" Huang Shijie demanded.
"Elder Song, is your disciple Sun Ce here?" Xia Liu did not answer immediately but shifted his gaze to Song Lingzhen.
"He's resting in his room. Does this have anything to do with him?" Song Lingzhen inquired.
"I don't know if it's related, but he took your place and entered with the host. Then the two of them, acting in concert, had the security guards take me away. The guards took me into the woods and pulled out a dagger. What do you make of this?"
