“Who did it? Who did it?!”

MO Guiyuan let out the most uncontrollable roar in his life.

He was an extremely controlling person. He treated others like this and even more so to himself.

However, at this moment, he could not control his emotions.

He could no longer remain calm.

The capital he was proud of and all his assets had disappeared!

The Great Elder also saw the empty cellar and was so frightened that he could not breathe.

In the White Lotus Society, the Branch Master mainly managed the branches and carried out the various missions given by the Sect Master. The elders mostly took care of the sect’s common affairs.

After helping to manage the treasury for many years, he had never had any problems and was deeply trusted by the Sect Master.

Who could tell him what was going on?

Was he seeing things?

MO Guiyuan’s murderous gaze landed on the First Elder.

The Great Elder knelt down with a plop. “Sect Master… I failed in my duty… I deserve to die ten thousand times… But I… I don’t know what’s wrong… I clearly came in yesterday to count…”

The first thing the Great Elder did every day when he woke up was to count the gold. The last thing he did before sleeping was to count the gold.

However, because too many people from the Imperial Court had barged into the forest last night, he circled around the various passageways and only returned at dawn before falling asleep.

When he woke up, he received orders from the Sect Master to discuss recruitment with Old Master Wu, which delayed him.

Who would have thought that after forgetting to count twice, the gold would be gone?

“I… I’ll send someone to look for him now!”

The Great Elder personally led people to look for it. He searched every secret passage and cellar, but found nothing!

The disciple who had captured the five tigers yesterday said, “First Elder, a few people from the Imperial Court came last night and were captured by us. Later on, they ran away. Could it be them?”

Through his description of their appearances, MO Guiyuan basically confirmed that they were the group who had left the passageway with Wei Ting this morning.

MO Guiyuan had seen them leave with his own eyes. From what he could see, they had not moved any gold!

The Great Elder said, “Sect Master, it can’t be that our brothers did it… Not to mention if they have the guts, it’s impossible for no one to discover it just by moving so many boxes of gold… Moreover, where did they hide it? We’re very familiar with the peach forest, so can’t we find it?”

MO Guiyuan naturally understood this logic, so he was even more puzzled.

Where did all that gold go? Could it have disappeared into thin air?

The Great Elder remembered that he had a dog. That dog’s nose was very sharp. He got someone to bring the dog over. If someone really moved the gold, it would definitely be able to track it.

However, inconceivably, the dog only circled the empty cellar.

MO Guiyuan frowned. “What do you mean? Could it be that the gold has never left the cellar?”

The Great Elder stammered, “Maybe its nose is broken.”

Things suddenly became confusing.

MO Guiyuan touched the jade ring on his left thumb. For the first time in his life, he felt that things had exceeded his control.

This feeling was not good.

“Investigate thoroughly!”

“Yes, yes, yes! I’ll dig three feet into the ground and definitely find the gold!”

The Great Elder knew MO Guiyuan’s methods too well. He was generous when rewarding but could make people wish they were dead when punishing.

MO Guiyuan was unhappy.

If he was unhappy, those people in the forest would be in trouble.

He had originally planned to let them fend for themselves. If they survived, so be it. However, he had changed his mind now.

“Capture them!”

Zhang Feng cupped his hands solemnly. “Yes!”

The three of them had already left the miasma forest in the north. If they walked two miles further, they would completely leave the sphere of influence of the White Lotus Society.

However, the moment they escaped, the experts of the White Lotus Society arrived.

General Leng and Leng Zhiruo relied on their outstanding qinggong to avoid the White Lotus Society’s surprise attack. However, Leng Rui was caught by the White Lotus Society’s large net.

“Dad—save me—”

Accompanied by a scream like a pig being slaughtered, Leng Rui was dragged back to the miasma forest by the White Lotus Society.

The gas mask was on Leng Rui. General Leng wanted to chase after him, but he understood that once he went in without the mask, he would definitely die.

He clenched his fists tightly. “White, Lotus, Sect!”

Xiao Duye and Xu Qing were also about to escape from the forest.

Xiao Duye did not expect the experts sent by his father to be completely wiped out. Instead, it was Xu Qing, whom he was impatient to bring along, who helped him resolve the crisis time and time again.

Unfortunately, this was the White Lotus Sect’s territory after all. No matter how powerful Xu Qing was, he was outnumbered. The two of them were finally captured.

In this confrontation, the White Lotus Sect suffered heavy losses, and so did Emperor Jing Xuan.

So many inner court experts were gone, and his son had been captured. How tragic was that?

If he had known earlier, he would have let the Marquis of Zhenbei enter the peach forest and let General Leng guard the entrance.

Originally, he had planned to give the Leng family a chance to gain experience and meritorious service and nurture the successors of Qin Canglan and Su

Shuo. Who would have thought that he had underestimated the strength of the White Lotus Sect and the danger of the peach forest?

“I didn’t protect Big Brother well. Father, please punish me!”

“Get up. It’s not your fault. I’m already very relieved that you came out alive.

Call Third Brother over.”

Emperor Jing Xuan could not bear to blame his second son, so he vented all his anger on Xiao Zhonghua.

He scolded angrily, “Did you deliberately hide the danger of the peach forest to let your brothers enter to tempting fate?”

Xiao Zhonghua looked at Emperor Jing Xuan quietly. “Father, it wasn’t me who asked my brothers to go to the peach forest. It was you, Father. From the beginning to the end, I didn’t encourage my brothers to take the risk.” Emperor Jing Xuan choked.

Xiao Zhonghua said softly. “Father wants us to contribute. but he doesn’t want

us to take the risk. How can there be such a good thing in the world? If possible, I’m willing to be a hostage on behalf of Big Brother. It depends on whether the White Lotus Sect wants it or not.”

Of course, the School of White Lotus did not want an unfavored Third Prince.

Emperor Jing Xuan was so angry that his heart hurt.

He looked at Xiao Zhonghua coldly and had the illusion that his son, who had never been valued, had grown up and his wings had hardened.

When did it start?

He did not notice it at all.

To a certain extent, Emperor Jing Xuan and MO Guiyuan were both people with the need for control.

However, MO Guiyuan was far more extreme and stubborn than Emperor Jing

Xuan.

Xiao Zhonghua asked, “Father, do you have any other instructions? If not, I’ll take my leave.”

His attitude made Emperor Jing Xuan furious. Emperor Jing Xuan scolded, “Kneel outside!”

“Yes.”

Xiao Zhonghua agreed obediently and went outside the Imperial Study expressionlessly. He lifted the hem and Imelt down.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky, illuminating his cold face.

This son was indeed different from before.

In the past, he would pretend to be obedient, beg for mercy, and follow his wishes.

Tonight, he would rather kneel in the thunderstorm than lower his head and admit his mistake.

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at Xiao Zhonghua in the heavy rain and thought of what had happened today. Suddenly, his chest hurt and he spat out a mouthful of blood..

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty…”
