Chapter 1553: Dongfang Clan (2/2)

He couldn’t see anything special about the guy. Meanwhile, Li Qiye leisurely nodded as a greeting towards Dongfang Cong.

Dongfang Cong didn’t wish to talk and said: “Let’s go in.”

The Dongfang Clan didn’t wish for a big commotion so they kept it very quiet. It was a mess for both of the clans so there was no need to publicize this matter.

The clan immediately convened a meeting in order to make a decision with the fastest speed in order to calm the storm. After all, their clan didn’t wish to turn against the Wenren Clan either. Moreover, if the alliance were to fall, Soaring Hawk would take both of them down eventually!

The sooner they could solve this, the less complication. Afterward, both clans could maintain the alliance of past.

After making the decision, the ancestors from both clans summoned Li Qiye and Wenren Lurui. This was only to tell them the result.

The two saw the ancestors from both clans. Jians.h.i.+ and Dongfang Cong were present as well with a solemn expression.

She gently sighed and knew that it was about to come. However, she was ready to meet her fate. As long as her daughter could be fine, she was willing to pay any price.

Li Qiye glanced at the ancestors and only smiled. He actually walked up to the master chair and sat down with wanton regards.

Such arrogant att.i.tude made the ancestors ugly. Both sides angrily glared at him.

“I’m already a dead man in your eyes, can’t a dead man get to sit down?” Li Qiye nonchalantly laughed after seeing the glares.

The people present here snorted at this att.i.tude but at this moment, they were more concerned about him acting as the scapegoat. This was more than enough.

Wenren Lurui took a deep breath and bowed: “Dear ancestors, this is my fault. All the blame is on me, I have shamed both of our clans so I’m willing to bear all the sins. May my life eliminates the grievances.”

“Lurui, you don’t need to speak for this Li guy’s sake.” One Wenren Ancestor shouted: “Your mistake can’t be forgiven. Because of this, the clans have decided to imprison you in the inner tower for the rest of your life!”

Both Jians.h.i.+ and Cong were shocked to hear this sentence. Cong stepped out and addressed the ancestors: “Ancestors, she is indeed at fault but it is only out of youthful ignorance. Just let this marriage past and our clans can still be allies. There is no need for a life sentence.”

“Cong’er, stand to the side.” A Dongfang Ancestor spoke coldly: “The laws must be upheld.”

With that, he turned towards Li Qiye: “And you, purposely breaking our marriage pact and alliance, seducing a married woman, a crime deserving of death! You shall be decapitated to set an example!”

An agreement has been reached between the two clans. If Lurui escaped with someone else, then the fault was on her. However, if Li Qiye was purposely breaking the alliance by seducing her, then it would be a different story. He would bear the bigger burden of the crime.

Both clans chose the latter version in order to kill this scandal as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Li Qiye smiled and casually picked up some fruit on the table nearby before leisurely taking a bite.

This made the ancestors nearly vomit blood from anger. They felt an urge to kill him right away.
