A rare opportunity

Looking at Hu Mei before him, Li Yu felt a sharp pain in his heart! It could be said that Hu Mei had become like this entirely because of him! If Hu Mei hadn't happened to meet him, how could she have become like this?

However, what he didn't expect was that Xi Wuyou, who promised to take good care of Hu Mei, actually left her alone here, which made him feel heartbroken!

Li Yu's gloomy expression sent a chill down Xi Wuyou's spine! He hadn't expected that the people he'd asked Han Xiuzhi to arrange for Hu Mei's care would leave her here alone. Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought Li Yu and the others over directly!

The facts were right in front of him, and there was no way to explain them! He was so angry that his face turned ashen! He turned around and glared fiercely at Han Xiuzhi.

Han Xiuzhi was losing face! Without thinking twice, he immediately roared:

"Tie Qingsong! You little brat, get your ass over here right now!"

Tie Qingsong was the leader he had arranged to take care of Hu Mei. He and four female disciples were responsible for Hu Mei's daily needs. He hadn't expected that none of them would be there.

His shout was so sudden and loud that it startled Hu Mei, who had calmed down under Yin Zijuan's soothing words, into letting out another terrified scream!

No sooner had Han Xiuzhi finished speaking than a skinny male protagonist came scrambling towards them, shouting as he ran:

"They're here! They're here! The disciples are here!"

Four women, all looking beautiful, ran up behind him.

"You bastard! Where have you been? Why is there no one here?"

Hearing Han Xiuzhi's unrestrained voice and seeing Hu Mei trembling, Li Yu couldn't help but glance at him with disgust!

He believed that Han Xiuzhi's harsh words were nothing more than a performance in front of him! He had no interest in watching their performance, because it disgusted him!

Of course, he had no right to punish them. After all, expecting them to take good care of Hu Mei was just wishful thinking on his part. It was his fault for misjudging people, and he couldn't blame anyone else.

He immediately whispered to Yin Zijuan:

"Senior sister! Let's take her and leave now!"

Yin Zijuan glanced at Hu Mei and immediately nodded. Then she whispered to Hu Mei:

"Don't be afraid, Sister Hu! I'll take you to a safe place right away. Stay with us, and no one can hurt you!"

Although Hu Mei's gaze was vacant, she seemed to understand Yin Zijuan's words. Immediately, with Yin Zijuan's help, she slowly stepped down to the ground and stood up. However, she hid her entire body behind Yin Zijuan.

Seeing that Li Yu was about to leave, Xi Wuyou became anxious!

"Your Excellency! I have failed in my duty to take good care of Fairy Hu. It is my fault! I am willing to accept punishment! I only beg Your Excellency not to be angry and to leave Fairy Hu at the White Dragon Gate to give me a chance to forgive my sins!"

In this situation, no matter what I say, I can't escape blame! Even if the truth is found, even if I kill Tie Qingsong and the others right now, I still won't be able to clear my name! Rather than let Li Yu think I'm shirking responsibility, I'd rather take it all on myself. At least Li Yu won't think I'm a hypocrite.

Han Xiuzhi, stopped by Xi Wuyou, became extremely anxious! He was about to explain when Xi Wuyou glared at him, leaving him no choice but to shut his mouth.

When Tie Qingsong and the four disciples who were taking care of Hu Mei arrived at the courtyard, they were so frightened by the large commotion in the courtyard that they dared not breathe and knelt down on the ground with a 'plop' in front of Han Xiuzhi.

Han Xiuzhi looked at the four people, including Tie Qingsong, who were trembling in front of him, and felt like killing them!

He disapproved of taking in Hu Mei, this burden. After all, in his view, it wasn't worth wasting so many resources to support a fool. Since Xi Wuyou had given his instructions, he dared not disobey. However, he did reduce the number of people Xi Wuyou requested and the resources he was to provide.

With the sect rebuilding underway, everything was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt! Xi Wuyou was so busy with the sect's reconstruction that he couldn't find the time to visit Hu Mei. In the end, he almost forgot about Hu Mei's existence until Li Yu and the others arrived.

Han Xiuzhi was not familiar with Li Yu and Hu Mei, so naturally he wouldn't come to see her.

Therefore, in the eyes of Tie Qingsong and the others, Hu Mei was an insignificant person. Moreover, Hu Mei was also a fool, so naturally they didn't pay much attention to her.

Tie Qingsong and his group often went out for strolls, but this time they just happened to run into Li Yu and his group. They could only accept their bad luck!

Li Yu frowned at Xi Wuyou's attempt to persuade him to stay. He thought to himself, "You treat Hu Mei like this before I've even left Xuanyuan Star. If we leave Xuanyuan Star, will you abandon her? Hand her over to you? How can I possibly feel at ease?"

"No need! Since your sect is too busy to take care of her, I will take her with me! At least she will have someone to keep her company! We still have to visit the four sect leaders, so we will not disturb Sect Leader Xi any longer! Farewell!"

Li Yu's tone clearly revealed his disappointment in Xi Wuyou, and even his way of addressing her changed, making Xi Wuyou clearly feel Li Yu's estrangement.

This sent a chill down Xi Wuyou's spine for no apparent reason! A deep sense of loss washed over him! It seemed that Li Yu was ultimately destined to be separated from the White Dragon Gate!

At the same time, he secretly regretted not visiting Hu Mei earlier. If he had visited her once or twice, would Tie Qingsong and the others have dared to neglect her?

The mistake has been made, and there's no use saying anything now! Since Li Yu is determined to leave, there's nothing I can do to stop him; all I can do is shake my head and sigh!

He immediately bowed and said:

"In that case, I shall respectfully comply! Then I shall escort Your Excellency to the Aotian Sect! However, today's events were not my intention! I will certainly punish those wicked disciples severely afterward to give Your Excellency and Fairy Hu an explanation!"

Since they can't be kept here, I'll just have to go with them! As for Hu Mei's matter, whether Li Yuyuan forgives her or not is unimportant; what's important is that I have a sincere attitude! Besides, I can also meet the four sect leaders! Isn't this a great opportunity to make friends?

"No need! Sect Leader Xi is very busy, how could I dare to delay him? Besides, who doesn't know about the Aotian Sect? We can find it ourselves without Sect Leader Xi leading the way!"

Although the voice was very soft, it was like a blow to Xi Wuyou, leaving him speechless.

Clearly, today's events have displeased Li Yu. From now on, he and the White Dragon Sect may lose this powerful backer! No! This absolutely cannot be allowed to happen! Even if Li Yu refuses, he will stay by Li Yu's side!
