"What exactly do you want to express? Gua Yan has clearly said that this matter has nothing to do with them. Isn't your behavior slander?!" Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for Gua Yan and others who were besieged.

"Yes! What's the matter with you guys blocking here? We can understand how you feel about losing your child, but you can't accuse others without any basis!" More and more orcs echoed, and the scene became a little chaotic for a while.

Seeing this, the old patriarch who led the team hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Don't worry, everyone! Things are not what you think! We, we are so impulsive because we are too anxious..." His voice was a little hoarse and helpless.

An orc continued, "Guo Yan and his men have been living in the city, and there is no record of them going out recently. Even if they leave the city in the middle of the night, there will be orcs on duty who will notice them, so it is impossible for them to do such a thing."

The orcs kneeling on the ground felt more and more desperate. One of them suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "Of course you can't understand our feelings! You didn't lose your children, so you won't be as anxious as we are! But why is my child missing? Why on earth is this happening!" His eyes were full of pain and helplessness.

The other orcs who were kneeling on the ground stood up one after another, staring at the orcs around them angrily and roaring in anger: "How can you be so heartless! Why wasn't the child stolen your own?"

After hearing this, the faces of the orcs who were watching around them instantly turned extremely ugly, and the old chief who led the team was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at the orcs who were talking and shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Think carefully about what you said!"

At this moment, all the orcs around were staring sharply at the orcs who were talking nonsense. If they didn't apologize and admit their mistakes immediately, they would probably rush forward and teach them a lesson.

Seeing that the dispute between the two sides was about to escalate into a fierce physical fight, Cheng Mo hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them, saying, "Everyone, stop arguing!"

At this time, the crowd around saw that it was the city lord Cheng Mo who came over in person, so they quickly stepped aside. Gua Yan pointed at the group of orcs who had lost their children with great indignation and asked angrily: "What do you mean by saying such things!"

Upon seeing this, Cheng Mo immediately took a few quick steps to Gua Yan and stopped him. Then he turned to look at the group of orcs who had fallen into despair and said solemnly: "I am the mayor of Qiming City. I can assure you that the orcs in our Qiming City will never steal your children!"

A female orc was as pale as paper, and she sat limply on the cold ground. A sneer full of disdain and ridicule appeared on the corner of her mouth. She looked at Cheng Mo with contempt and asked sharply, "Your promise? Humph! You are their city lord, of course you will protect your own people!"

After hearing this, Cheng Mo's anger instantly rose up, but he still suppressed his emotions, trying to keep himself calm and rational, and responded in an unusually calm tone: "What do you mean by this? Are you sure that the murderer is one of us? Well, do you have any substantial evidence to prove it?"

The female orc was choked speechless by Cheng Mo's questioning. Her face turned extremely ugly. At the same time, she was furious because she could not refute. So she shouted loudly and said in a somewhat inappropriate manner: "You must have secretly hidden the evidence! Otherwise, how could we not find it!"

Cheng Mo was both angry and amused when he heard this. He really couldn't understand why this female orc was so unreasonable. Then, he looked at the old chief standing beside him and asked, "Chief Wusuo, so the reason you brought people to our Qiming City to accuse us is that you firmly believe that the orcs in our city ran to your tribe and stole the child, right?"

Chief Wusuo was also feeling extremely embarrassed and awkward at the moment. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered as he explained, "Uh... no, no, no, Lord City Lord, please don't misunderstand me. They... they are just too worried and anxious, so... That's right! They are so anxious that they act impulsively!"

Cheng Mo did not accept this reason. Instead, he turned around and gently comforted Gua Yan and others standing behind him: "Don't worry, I absolutely trust you. In fact, I have already personally visited your tribe to investigate and understand the situation. I know very well that this incident was most likely not done by the Winged Orcs."

Gu Yan, who looked angry, uttered an "ah" with a suspicious look on his face after hearing this. He had heard a little about the recent incident of lost children. As soon as these people came, they pulled him aside and talked about a lot of speculations about stealing children. He was very sure that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with the Winged Orcs living in Qiming City. But if there were wandering Winged Orcs who did this, it was not completely impossible. However, since Cheng Mo said so, Gu Yan naturally chose to believe him.

Gua Yan glanced at the group of orcs who had wronged him with a stern look, and said righteously: "We have always stayed in the City of Enlightenment and rarely go out on weekdays. Every day, we study hard. There is no need for us to sneak out for your children. Besides, even if we Winged Orcs have wings, we don't have the ability to fly out without alerting the orcs on the city wall! So, you have the wrong target!"

Hearing this, the faces of the orcs who had lost their children turned paler, and some of them couldn't help but burst into tears: "My child! My child!" The scene was very chaotic for a while.

Cheng Mo looked at the troubled head of the Wusuo tribe, turned around and faced the orcs watching around him, and shouted loudly: "Okay, everyone please go back first."

The surrounding orcs nodded in agreement, then slowly dispersed and went home. They believed that Cheng Mo was capable of properly handling the situation at hand.

"Chief Wusuo, please follow me." Cheng Mo sighed helplessly and led them towards his home. Banmu held Cheng Lingqu's hand tightly and followed closely. Along the way, Cheng Lingqu was unusually well-behaved and quiet, occasionally looking up and silently looking at Banmu, and no one knew what he was thinking.
