Chapter 98 Liu Rouyan Is Missing
Liu Main Family – Main Hall
Liu Ming sat on the head chair with a darkened face, he had been thinking about Xia Tian’s words during the journey back to their residence, and he chose to believe his grandson’s words. Moreover, after Liu Meng gave the Liu family plaque to him, she said that it was Liu Ying who gave it to her, and Liu Ying had also shared her assumptions based on the order of events.
In fact, it was Xia Tian who gave the plaque to Liu Meng, and Xia Tian was also the one who told the details of Liu Rouyan’s actions.
Liu Ming as a patriarch naturally recognized the owner of the plaque, because every plaque belonging to their family contained the energy of its owner, and the plaque was undeniably Liu Rouyan’s, which made Liu Ming even more convinced that Liu Rouyan was the crux of the matter.
At first, he wanted to immediately capture Liu Rouyan as soon as he was arrived at his residence, but unexpectedly Liu Rouyan had already fled, she left the Liu Main Family at the same time Liu Ming went to Red Stone City.
*BAMM*
“Damn it!” Liu Ming cursed loudly, as he pounded the wooden table beside him until it shattered. “Doesn’t any of you know where Liu Rouyan went?”
“We really don’t know where Liu Rouyan went, Patriarch.” One of the elders answered with a shake of the head, and the other elders also shook their heads at him.
“What exactly happened, Patriarch? Why do you look so angry at Liu Rouyan?” One of the elders asked Liu Ming, as he and the other elders were confused by Liu Ming’s attitude, as he had not given them any explanation regarding Liu Rouyan yet.
Moreover, as they recalled, Liu Ming went to Red Stone City to investigate Liu Hong’s death, but now he was angry with Liu Rouyan, and he also wanted to capture her.
Liu Ming sighed heavily, then he handed Liu Rouyan’s plaque to him, as he said. “It was Liu Rouyan’s plaque, and it was found by Xia Ling in the hand of his son’s corpse several years ago.”
“What!?” The elders exclaimed in shock, and they stared at Liu Ming in disbelief.
Liu Ming then said again. “According to Ying’er’s conjecture, Liu Rouyan conspired with Luo Chengsu to kill her husband. And as you guys already know, Liu Rouyan was also the one who crippled her son’s spiritual root.”
The elders fell silent at the thought of Liu Ming’s words, because they also knew that Liu Rouyan did indeed have a close relationship with Luo Chengsu. And in the past, she had always insisted on marrying Liu Ying to Luo Chengsu, but Liu Ying ended up running away from the Liu Main Family.
The fact that Liu Ming had just revealed shocked the elders, even though they did not approve of Liu Ying’s marriage to her husband. But they never intended to act as cruel as Liu Rouyan, even more so after they found out that Liu Ying already had a son with her husband.
Liu Ming then ordered them all. “I want you to mobilize all our members, and find Liu Rouyan as soon as possible, because I want to hand her over to Ying’er.”
“Then what about Luo Chengsu, Patriarch?” Liu Meng asked him. “Xia Tian has given us the condition to hand over Liu Rouyan and Luo Chengsu’s heads to Ying’er.”
“What!?” The elders exclaimed in shock after they heard Liu Meng’s words, they then looked at Liu Ming, and waited for his answer.
“We can’t do anything to Luo Chengsu, Elder Meng.” Liu Ming replied with a sigh of regret. “We all know that the Luo Family is much stronger than us, if we take action against Luo Chengsu, it will be detrimental to us.”
The elders nodded in agreement with Liu Ming’s words, and Liu Meng fell silent, because she herself also knew the fact that the Luo Family was stronger than them. ‘Sigh, I have to inform Tian of everything as soon as possible.’
Liu Mao, who had been silently listening to his father’s talk about Liu Rouyan, finally spoke up. “Do you know who killed Hong’er, Father?”
Liu Ming looked at his son pitifully, then he shook his head, and he said with a grim expression. “I don’t know the identity of his killer yet, nor can I find Hong’er’s body. Yu Suya said that he offended one of her restaurant diners, and he injured that person’s wife, but she doesn’t know what happened next. Even Liu Biao didn’t find any useful clues either.”
Liu Mao was speechless, he knew that his son Liu Hong was very arrogant. He also had a lot of enemies in their city, and the cultivation world was extremely cruel. He could only regret that his son offended a strong person, and got him killed.

In a cozy office
A woman dressed in a uniform like office workers in the modern world ran into the office, as she shouting softly. “Young Miss!”
“Why are you in such a hurry, Xiao Mei?” A mature woman who was sitting behind a large wooden desk asked her, even the blouse she was wearing looked like a director of a modern company.
“Young Miss! The merchant outside said that there are spices that are exactly the same as ours in the southern continent, he said that his biggest customer in the southern continent broke their contract, because she got supplies from someone in there, and that person sold at the same price as us.” Xiao Mei reported as the merchant had told her.
The Young Miss who sat behind the desk frowned, she pondered for a moment while wondering in her heart. “Does he know the owner of the spices in the southern continent? And which city does his customer live in?”
Xiao mei immediately answered the young miss’s question. “He said the owner of the spices is called Liu Lifen, and his customer lives in Red Stone City, on the southern continent.”
The woman who was called ‘Young Miss’ was stunned for a moment, but the next moment she burst out laughing with all her heart. “Hahaha”
She laughed while holding her stomach, and her behavior startled Xiao Mei, then Xiao Mei said in her heart. ‘Is Young Miss possessed by something?’
Xiao Mei then asked her. “Do we need to send someone to investigate the person called Liu Lifen and the spices, Young Miss?”
“Forget it, Xiao Mei.” The woman smiled wholeheartedly, she actually felt very happy. “Tell the merchant, we can’t do anything about it.”
“All right, Young Miss.” Xiao Mei immediately withdrew from the office.
“Red Stone City, huh?” The Young miss muttered to herself, but the smile on her face still clearly showed her happiness, then she took out a painting of a man from her storage ring, and stroked the man’s face. “I finally found you, My Husband. But alas, I can’t leave this place for now, so I still have to wait to be able to reunite with you.”
