Chapter 15 - What? I already knew it (1/2)

Xiao Li: Haha, Xiao Lingxi is your daughter, so of course you would say that! However, the truth is already clear, whatever you have to say is completely useless! If you dare to shield and obstruct this arrest again, don't blame me for not acknowledging our Xiao Clan's relationship as I'll also seize you together with them!

Xiao Lie: Yes, it's true that I did tell Xi'er that the Profound Opening Powder had the ability to repair profound veins. I instantly regretted it after I told her that, because knowing her personality, I was afraid that she would be impulsive enough to steal the Profound Opening Powder.

As a result, I stood in front of her courtyard's doorway all night, until dawn! She absolutely did not even take half a step outside her courtyard entrance!

Jean: And here is another proof!

Xiao Li: Tch! In order to absolve your daughter's crime, you could actually think up of such a ridiculous reason! Think about it, would anyone even believe your words? Our friends present today, do anyone of you believe him?

But in the presence of the Xiao Sect, no one dared to speak.

Xiao Lie: I, Xiao Lie have always lived a straightforward and upright life! Although not a true gentleman, I have never looked down on a person of lower status! I have never harmed anyone, nor have I deceived anyone!

If what I said earlier had even half an untruth, may the heavens and earth punish me, and condemn me to a terrible death!

Xiao Lie's words struck the hearts of the people, and they finally remembered… Xiao Lie was not only the strongest in Floating Cloud City, but his integrity was also well known! But…

Everyone turned towards Xiao Yulong, who was laughing.

Xiao Yulong: In this matter, this Xiao Yulong has absolutely no right to speak or intervene, but all of a sudden, when I heard Fifth Elder's grand speech, I truly couldn't hold back anymore….

A person who has fooled the entire Xiao Clan these ten or so years, unexpectedly professed himself to be a 'straightforward and upright person that had never deceived another'! This is simply a joke bigger than the heavens itself!

Those words startled everyone, making Xiao Lie knit his eyebrows.

Xiao Lie: Xiao Yulong, what do you mean!

Xiao Yunhai: Yulong! Fifth Elder has always been a person of virtue and prestige. In the presence of our noble guests from the Xiao Sect, in the presence of our Xiao Clan, and in the presence of our friends from Floating Cloud City, you mustn't indiscriminately gossip!

Xiao Yulong: I request father to rest ȧssure, your son naturally would not dare to speak so casually in broad daylight.

Fifth Elder, you claim to be a 'straightforward and upright person who had never deceived another', then do you dare to pledge on your son Xiao Ying's lifetime of honor and glory…. that Xiao Che is indeed your blood-related grandson!!

Those words made Xiao Lie's entire body tremble and his pupils contract, he finally realized that Xiao Yulong heard everything about what he said in front of Xiao Ying's grave…

But he didn't noticed Jean's blank face that let out a sigh. At least he has a good reason to leave the Xiao Clan and go around the world without any problem and search for a solution to heal his profound vein.

Xiao Yunhai: Yulong! What is this about?

Xiao Yulong: A few days ago when I went to the cemetery at the rear mountain to pay my respects, I coincidentally met Fifth Elder.

At that time, he was standing in front of his son, Xiao Ying's grave and was mumbling something to himself… But I heard it very clearly, he was saying… that Xiao Che was in fact, not Xiao Ying's biological son!

Xiao Yunhai: This… Yulong! This is a major matter that concerns our very bloodlines, you absolutely cannot speak recklessly!!

Xiao Yulong: Of course I wouldn't dare to lie about such a big matter. As for the truth, won't you know after you ask the Fifth Elder…

Fifth Elder, I guess you already heard what I said clearly, if you have a clear conscience, and that Xiao Che is really your biological grandson, then do you dare to swear on the honor of your son?

However… Xiao Lie stood silent… Xiao Lingxi shook Xiao Lie's body and shouted at him with a terrified tone.

Xiao Lingxi: Father, how can Little Che not be your biological grandson… Father, quickly say something, quickly tell them!

…

?: Yes, it's the truth…
