The night was hazy, and a fine mist gradually filled the air.

Zhang Rongfang took Xiao Qingying all the way back and asked her why she wanted to run out and go down the mountain so late?

There are many wild beasts at night under the mountain, and even those with strong martial arts skills would not dare to enter the forest at this time.

She was a martial arts practitioner who had just strengthened her muscles and had no actual combat experience. Going down the mountain into the forest at this time was extremely dangerous.

"I just... just want to see the scenery of Red Mountain at night. Do you care so much about me?" Xiao Qingying didn't want to tell the truth.

"Sister, do you know how dangerous Hongshan is at night..."

Suddenly Zhang Rongfang felt a bad wind blowing behind him.

The other party didn't hide it at all, and the movement was extremely powerful. Such a large movement was also extremely powerful.

Zhang Rongfang felt goosebumps rising on the skin of his back.

Immediately, he threw Xiao Qingying to the left and rolled to the left.

"How dare you hide!!?" a rough voice exploded from behind.

Zhang Rongfang looked back and saw senior brother Jiao Teng rushing out of the darkness with an angry look on his face.

Under the thin moonlight, Jiao Teng punched him again without saying a word.

This move was so fast that Zhang Rongfang didn't even get up from the ground. He had no choice but to resist.

But if he resists forcefully at this time, he will inevitably expose his hidden strength...

"Stop!! Senior brother!"

Before Jiao Teng could get closer, another burly figure rushed out from one side and held down Jiao Teng's arm.

The figure's figure was no worse than Jiao Teng's. In the moonlight, it was clearly senior sister Zhao Dancong.

"We haven't asked clearly about the situation, so don't take action easily! To avoid misunderstanding!" Zhao Dancong said hurriedly.

"I saw with my own eyes that he kidnapped Junior Sister Xiaoying! Is this even fake!?" Jiao Teng said angrily. "Get out of my way, or I'll beat you too!"

"Calm down!" Zhao Dacong bulged his arms and muscles, suppressing Jiao Teng forcefully. "If anything happens, please ask the master to come forward. It is not our turn as disciples to make the decision!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiao Teng struggled a few times but failed to break free.

He could only groan angrily and throw away his hand.

In the darkness, you could vaguely see his bright eyes, as if they were glowing, staring at Zhang Rongfang with cold eyes.

Zhang Rongfang stood up from the ground, patted his somewhat wet Taoist robe, and clasped his fists.

"Then let's go to the master's place together and let him decide."

He intuitively felt that Jiao Teng was in danger now.

This person didn't say a word. He made a sudden move before and was a second-level master. Something felt wrong.

If Zhao Dacong hadn't stopped him, he would have exposed himself and started a fight with the opponent just now.

And with his strength and trump card at this time, he may not be able to win, and the chance of losing is even greater.

This made his thirst for strength even greater.

If he was stronger than Jiao Teng, he wouldn't have to suffer this humiliation at all.

"Thank you, senior sister." Zhang Rongfang thanked Zhao Dancong again.

"No, let's go. Master is already waiting for us." Zhao Dancong didn't look good.

Junior sister Xiaoying suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night, which made everyone unable to sleep well and no one was in a bad mood.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingying on the side quickly walked to Jiao Teng and Zhao Dancong without saying anything.

The group of people's shouts just now also woke up many Taoists around them.

The Taoist priest who patrolled the night came over and asked a few questions, but was blocked by Jiao Teng. He stopped worrying about anything.

As long as you don't commit any trouble and nothing happens, these small things like sneaking down the mountain will naturally be handled by each mage sect.

All the way back to Xiao Rong's small attic.

The attic was brightly lit, and many people were already standing there.

Sun Yuanfeng's hair was still stained with rainwater, and it was obvious that he was shouting at people everywhere.

Chen Hui lowered her head and yawned quietly.

Hongda's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was sleeping and yet awake.

Xiao Rong was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, but there were cracks on the edge of the tea cup, which looked very new and had obviously just been pinched.

He looks calm, but his heart is obviously not as peaceful as his appearance.

The two handyman disciples carefully tidied up the surroundings, and knowingly left the room on their own after Jiao Teng, Zhao Dancong, Zhang Rongfang and others came in and closed the door.

Only people of Xiao Rong's lineage remained.

After the three of them entered the door with Xiao Qingying, they each bowed and saluted.

"master!"

Xiao Qingying was a little cautious and did not dare to look into her father's eyes.

"father...."

Xiao Rong glanced at the people one by one. His eyes rested on the most embarrassed Zhang Rongfang for a moment.

"Tell me. What happened? Why did Xiaoying almost disappear again?"

He looked at senior brother Jiao Teng.

silence.

In the incense burner beside the wall, smoke slowly rises from a stick of incense.

The light musk-like scent is obviously supposed to be used to calm the mind.

At this time, the atmosphere seemed even more depressing.

"I just heard the noise and went out to check. As a result, I found Zhang Rongfang holding Junior Sister Xiaoying sneaking around. I don't know what he wanted to do!? I immediately got angry and prepared to take action..."

Jiao Teng took a deep breath and was the first to speak out.

time.

Several people's eyes were focused on Zhang Rongfang.

Zhang Rongfang's eyelids twitched. He was stared at by many masters at the same time, and goosebumps appeared on his skin.

In the dim light of the oil lamp and candle, he clasped his fists and saluted.

"Reporting to Master. The disciple was looking after me in the middle of the night and found that Senior Sister Xiao suddenly went out for no reason, so he followed closely. Later, he found that she was trying to go down the mountain and was suddenly knocked unconscious. So he rushed out, frightened the person away, and saved Senior Sister...

"

"Nonsense! You clearly want to kidnap and deceive Junior Sister Xiaoying!" Jiao Teng sternly accused.

"Until the facts are found out, can you be quieter? I believe Rong Fang is not such a person!" Zhao Dancong also raised his voice.

"I have long suspected that there is something wrong with Zhang Rongfang! The same thing happened last time..." Jiao Teng still wanted to speak, but Zhao Dancong couldn't suppress him.

"That's enough!" Xiao Rong suddenly shouted, "Xiaoying can tell the truth in one sentence! It's not your turn to argue!"

"Xiaoying, is this possible?" Xiao Rong looked at Xiao Qingying.

Xiao Qingying bit her lip and lowered her head, feeling confused and confused for a moment.

"Xiaoying?" Xiao Rong spoke again, frowning. His hand holding the tea cup was trembling slightly, and he was exerting more and more force.

Jiao Teng, Zhao Dancong, and the others all focused their attention on Xiao Qingying.

Her words at this time will obviously determine whether Zhang Rongfang is wrongly accused.

only....

Zhang Rongfang looked at Xiao Qingying's silence, and his mood sank deeper and deeper.

"Senior Sister Xiao, did I really lie to you and prepare to go down the mountain? You have to be conscientious in everything you say and do." He said aloud.

Xiao Qingying trembled.

She knew very well that she secretly avoided it and wanted to go down the mountain, but if she told him directly, brother Wuyou would definitely be involved.

Brother Wuyou has been misunderstood by his father enough, if this happens again...

How will she be with brother Wuyou in the future?

She felt guilty in her heart, but when the words of clarification came to her lips, she couldn't say them out.

So she could only remain silent, turning her head away, not daring to look at Zhang Rongfang.

"Zhang Rongfang, what do you have to say?" Xiao Rong lowered his eyes and looked this way.

"...I have nothing to say." Zhang Rongfang really had nothing to say.

Xiao Qingying's silence put him in the most unexplainable position.
