Chapter 16: Forced Abdication! (2/2)
Du Jiaolan looked towards Ling Fu, as in charge of receiving the bridal gifts, with her eyes full of ye’s complete and utter humiliation
Her intentions were vicious; she definitely did not plan all this in just the span of a few days She first started with thehandled properly, which could bring trouble to the Ling Fa caves within Herb Mountain, heavily i his power to take the valuable ores from the mountain for himself
And now, she credited theChengye’s indifference to his daughter’s future, sacrificing her happiness to achieve some unknownChengye’s reputation within the Ling Faical or an e Family member to be displeased with this Patriarch and doubt him
“I am immensely curious about the price which you sold little Yushi+ for Uncle Fu, why haven’t you opened the bridal gift for everyone to see?” scoffed Du Jiaolan
Ling Fu held the bridal gift, his face full of aardness, as he was unsure what he should do
“Ling Fu!” Clan Elder Ling Bo harshly called out He hardened his face and instructed, ”Open it up for everyone to see! Let everyone decide for themselves whether or not there are ulterior hts were gathered upon that bridal gift Defeated by the interrogating gazes of the Ling Fa Fu helplessly opened the wooden box to reveal several expensive pieces of jewelry old and silver
“Pfft, just some jewelry? That would perhaps be valuable in the eyes of a commoner, but they are worthless to nored the dark expression on Ling Chengye’s face as she glanced at the wooden box and continued, ”I trust everyone can tell that these iteifted by Qin Lie It should be clear to everyone whether there are any ulterior motives behind this betrothan looked hopefully towards the cloth bag that was originally on top of the wooden box and instructed, ”Open that too”
“Ah, open it all then, and let us see what kind of treasures there are If that fool can really take out so left to say!”
Du Jiaolan raised her head, feeling extreye’s hardened expression She felt totally delighted, as though she had already utterly defeated Ling Chengye and was on the verge of beco Fa both her will and the will of everyone surnaye realized he was coainst Du Jiaolan’s brutal attacks Even the clans looks of rebuke His sudden plunge into the abyss of despair left him unable to co his brain furiously
Ling Yushi+ bit her lower lips tightly as she saw her father’s face contort in despair Being suspected by the surrounding clan ht… Her heart gradually fell as well
Still holding Qin Lie’s hand, she uncontrollably started to tighten her grip and reernails had already pierced into Qin Lie’s pal Fu loosened the rope tying the cloth bag under the scrutiny of everyone and withdrew a stone Lowering his head, he gloomily announced, ”It's just some jade stones…”
A piece of clear and transparent prisreen as a refreshi+ng wave of spirit energy rippled forth, evidently from within the stone
Suddenly a person roared, “Spirit stone! At least a Common Grade Six spirit stone!”
“What?! How can it be possible? Have one bad? How can it be a Common Grade Six spirit stone? Heavens!” screamed someone else
The expressions of Du Jiaolan and cohtly “It is actually a Common Grade Six spirit stone; Patriarch indeed kno to spend Surely there’s no need to bring out your entire savings just for this one ritual?” she coye too was astonished as he all the more knew that his clan was poor Whatever spirit stones the Ling Fa extra spirit plants and herbs they harvested, and they were usually below the Common Grade Three
All this while, those spirit stones had been given to Ling Xuanxuan to use for cultivating As the amount was truly too little, it was just barely able to keep up with Xuanxuan’s usage rate Hence, even he was unwilling to use it for cultivation despite being the head of his family
If he indeed possessed spirit stones at Com ago to solve the issue of tributes Why would he wait till now?
At this htly shi+lued her eyes to Ling Fu’s hand
Onto the Common Grade Six spirit stone!
“Is that it?”
“Aren’t thereit out!”
“Uncle Fu, please continue?”
Many of the Ling Faed hi contents in the cloth bag
And so, Ling Fu continued retrieving ite
“Another Common Grade Six spirit stone! Holy, one or Recovering Pill! More than ten of those Vigor Recovering Pills!”
“A Hundred Vein Pill! Did I see it wrongly? That is actually a Common Grade Five Hundred Vein Pill! It’s a medicine that martial practitioners at both the Refine Realm can use to temper their muscles Only Nebula Pavilion and Shattered Ice Manor would have this pill! One such pill is coht of those Common Grade Six spirit stones!”
“Good heavens! How could there be a Hundred Vein Pill?”
“What, what’s that? A Sea Opening Pill! A Co Pill used to open the spirit sea! If one had a Sea Opening Pill on hand while h fro Realreatly increased!”
“If those were given to ifts, even if he was dead, not to hter to marry him!”
