The Vanished Speed Clan, the Real Culprit Was My Master

Bai Chenxiang gripped Lin Qingmo's sleeve tightly, like a drowning person grasping at the last piece of driftwood.

Her voice was broken and intermittent, and it took a great deal of effort to say each word.

"That day I returned to the tribe's territory, the gate was wide open, and there was no one in the Central Plaza."

"I thought they were in the Council Hall, so I ran over, but it was empty."

"I went to the Martial Arts Field again, but it was empty."

"The fire on the kitchen stove was still burning, and everyone's personal belongings were left on the weapon racks in the Training Ground, as if..."

She looked up, her eyes red as if they were about to bleed.

"It's as if they just went out for a walk and never came back."

"But I waited for three whole days, and still no one came back, and there were no clues."

"Captain, A-Qing, you're so smart, you must know what happened, right?"

Lin Qingmo: "..."

Beneath his silent expression churned emotions like a tsunami.

Others may not know, but he knows it very well.

The Speed Clan didn't disappear; they were captured by his Master.

To be precise, he was taken away by his Master, the Titled Douluo "Eastern Emperor".

All four single-attribute clans—Strength, Agility, Defense, and Penetration—were represented.

As for Lin Qingmo's connection to this matter, well...

He not only knew about it, but in a sense, he was also one of the "masterminds" behind it.

The daughter of one of the victims is now clinging to his arm, crying her eyes out, begging him to help her find her family.

Lin Qingmo felt as if he were undergoing a social trial.

If embarrassment could be converted into Soul Power, he could directly break through to the Titled Douluo right now.

But can the truth be told?

"Don't cry, actually your grandfather was arrested and imprisoned by my Master."

He would never dare to say such a thing.

Bai Chenxiang could peck his face to pieces with her Sharp-Tailed Swift Martial Soul in the next second.

Lin Qingmo a deep breath, suppressing all his embarrassment, and put on a calm and reliable expression.

"Calm down."

He patted Bai Chenxiang on the shoulder, his voice gentle but firm.

"I'll help you figure out a way to handle this. Your family won't just disappear into thin air; I'll definitely help you find them."

Bai Chenxiang raised her head, looking at him with teary eyes.

If he says he has a way, then he definitely has a way.

"Really?" Her voice was as fragile as a spider's web in the wind.

"Real."

Lin Qingmo nodded without changing his expression.

At the same time, he gave himself a thumbs up in his heart—in terms of acting skills, he could win Oscar.

Bai Chenxiang hugged him tightly, buried her face in his chest, and cried uncontrollably.

"Please... you must help me... I don't want anything, I just want them to come back safe and sound..."

Lin Qingmo froze on the spot, her hand hanging in mid-air, unsure of what to do.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Liu Erlong appeared at the doorway, followed by Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan.

After Xiao Wu explained what had happened while eavesdropping, they all came over to check on Yu Feng's condition.

Then they saw this scene inside the dormitory.

The Yu Feng hat was gone, the wig was gone, and long, light purple hair was draped over her shoulders.

That usually playful and cheerful face was now delicate and clean, clearly belonging to a young girl.

She was hugging Lin Qingmo, crying her eyes out.

"What's going on?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened. "How did Yu Feng change his gender?"

"It's not gender reassignment."

Zhu Zhuqing's sharp gaze swept over Yu Feng's figure. "She was originally a woman."

"A woman disguised as a man joining the team?" Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow. "Interesting."

"I didn't expect our mid laner to be so aggressive, it was Yu Feng."

Liu Erlong didn't speak, but looked at Lin Qingmo, asking with his eyes.

Xiao Wu didn't speak either, but looked at Lin Qingmo and asked with her eyes.

Lin Qingmo: "..."

Why did he have the illusion that he had been caught cheating?

He didn't do anything!

Bai Chenxiang cried in Lin Qingmo's arms for a long time, finally exhausting all her strength and falling into a deep sleep.

Her eyelashes were still wet with tears, and her breathing gradually became steady.

She's been running around non-stop these past few days, barely sleeping, and her body and mind are at their limits.

Lin Qingmo gently placed her back on the bed, covered her with the blanket, then left the room, closing the door behind her.

Outside the door, five pairs of eyes simultaneously locked onto him.

"Yu Feng, a woman, hug you, cry, explain."

Ning Rongrong succinctly summarized all the problems in five words.

Lin Qingmo rubbed his temples, deciding to skip all the preamble. "Yu Feng is a woman disguised as a man; her real name is Bai Chenxiang, the granddaughter of Bai He, the Clan Head of the Speed Clan."

Silence.

Then it's fried in an airtight container.

"Speed Clan?"

Ning Rongrong reacted the fastest, "The Speed Clan, one of the Four Great Single-Attribute Clans Strength, Agility, Defense, and Breakthrough?"

"That's right."

The women simultaneously caught the key phrase and exchanged a meaningful glance.

Lin Qingmo mentioned this in the chat group; his master, Donghuang Douluo, had captured all four major clans!

The Clan Head of the Speed Clan is on the list of those arrested.

They didn't need to think to understand why Bai Chenxiang was crying so much; it must be related to this matter.

The person who started this whole thing was Lin Qingmo's Master.

Although Lin Qingmo did not directly participate in the arrest operation, his stance was clear from the beginning.

Because of Tang San's relationship with Tang Hao, he will inevitably have to take action against the four major clans sooner or later.

"This is too tragic..." Ning Rongrong muttered softly, "Their own family members have been arrested, and they still come to beg the mastermind for help in finding them..."

"Ning Rongrong." Liu Erlong gave her a warning look.

Ning Rongrong immediately shut up, but her expression still seemed to say, "I'm telling the truth."

Dugu Yan leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, looking at Lin Qingmo thoughtfully. "So A-Qing, what do you plan to do?"

"Let's make this clear first: if it's about dealing with Yu... Bai Chenxiang, I won't get involved."

"Although I usually dislike Yu Feng, she's still our teammate."

"Who said anything about dealing with her?" Lin Qingmo shook his head. "I don't intend to treat her as an enemy."

"But..."

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but speak again, "Weren't you going to deal with the four major clans?"

"Bai Chenxiang's grandfather, Bai He, is the Clan Head of the Speed Clan. She will find out the truth sooner or later. When that time comes—"

We'll talk about it then.

Lin Qingmo interrupted her, "I will contact my Master and discuss this with her."

Upon hearing the words "contact the Master," the individuals reacted in different ways.

Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief. In her opinion, as long as A-Qing spoke up, things could always be resolved.

Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan didn't say much.

However, Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong exchanged a glance.

A serious look appeared in their eyes at the same time.

Others may not know the true face of Eastern Emperor Douluo, but they do!

What that woman did to Lin Qingmo.

They forcibly took him, while keeping him completely in the dark.

This woman is definitely not a kind person!

Lin Qingmo's initiative to contact her was tantamount to throwing a lamb to the slaughter.
