Chongyangzi had left the mission hall while injured. The people Shangguan Tianque knew in Chunyang Hall had not seen it with their own eyes either; they had likewise only heard it from others.
And for cultivators, even if their wounds were severe, as long as they were not on the verge of death, they could cast techniques and fly away. So just how badly Chongyangzi was injured was impossible to know in detail.
"Oh? He left while injured!"
When Li Yan heard this, his heart instead eased. Chongyangzi was clever too. After causing such an uproar, he also knew that if he continued staying in the sect, he would be standing right at the mouth of the wind and the crest of the waves.
So he had left at once without waiting for his wounds to heal. If that had not been his own idea, then it was the idea of the power behind him. Having the Law Enforcement Hall deal with Chongyangzi might not necessarily have been the true intention of the power behind him.
In truth, they might have been protecting Chongyangzi. First, he had caused such a huge mess in the sect, so there had to be an explanation. Second, Chongyangzi would be marked by others who were dissatisfied.
Perhaps after Chongyangzi left the sect, someone would protect him in secret. But this might also have been Chongyangzi's own idea. And the place Chongyangzi was most likely to go to was...?
Tinglan's figure instantly surfaced in Li Yan's mind. Chongyangzi had very likely gone to his brother-in-law's clan!
"What were you discussing today?"
Li Yan asked softly.
"Of course I wouldn't think that just because Chunyang Hall has temporarily calmed down, there will truly be a turn for the better afterward. Their order has never been withdrawn.
