Chapter 234.4 - Attacked at Night
“My Lord, Lu Ji has failed in my duty, and allowed something to happen to Miss Qing. I ask for my Lord to mete out punishment.”
In the dim and dark coloured main hall, besides the man seated upon the throne, Bai Zhi Yan, Xun Luo, Mei Ji, Little Monster and the bookish and scholarly looking man were seated on the sides.
Lu Ji was kneeling in the middle of the hall, her head hung very low.
Lou Jun Yao had always been very lenient with his subordinates and was not someone who bothered much with empty formalities, not to mention making his subordinates kneel here and there every time they came to make a report, which was just tiring to see. So he had waived all of them of a need for such piddling details.
For so many years, this was the first time that the proud and haughty Lu Ji was seen to look so servile.
The man on the throne did not say anything and it was Bai Zhi Yan who spoke up in a bluster. “What has happened to that lass again? Has she gotten herself hurt again? ? How long has it only been and she has…..”
“She was abducted.” Lu Ji’s voice was tinged with a faint hoarseness. “The person….. seems to be from Cloud Heaven but I do not know which one of the five powers he is from.”
“From Cloud Heaven?” Bai Zhi Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise. “Where did she get taken away?”
“In the Faint Mist Sect’s forbidden grounds.” Lu Ji replied with a sharp glint in her eyes.
“That is rather interesting. To think that someone from Cloud Heaven would go all the way down to the lower realms. What could they have gone there for?” Bai Zhi Yan asked as he looked up at the man seated high up on the pedestal who had not said a single word. “And you do not seem to be anxious at all.”
