709 What A Way To Uphold Justice! (1/2)
Xiao Xing Yun couldn't be bothered with Han Zhan Meng and continued, ”This is where the problem lies. When the incident happened, Yan Yao did not call off the wedding officially because she could not bear to part with the title of daughter-in-law of the Xiao Family! Were you going to deny this fact?”
”The entire Blizzard Silver City knew that the marriage might be cancelled, but note, it was merely a possibility! Everyone knew the arrangement still stood! With this valid arrangement, she selfishly got involved with another man! Shameless and promiscuous, making a cuckold out of Xiao Han, marring our reputation! This is an undeniable fact! Han Zhan Meng, do you have any concerns with what I said?”
”Xiao Xing Yun! You're spouting nonsense!” Xue Shuang Qing trembled with anger. ”Ten years ago, you already made noise with regards to this, and now, you are still bringing this up? Even if it was an agreement, it was merely a verbal one! Yan Yao was never married into your family and remained pure from start till end! How did we tarnish your reputation! Is the Xiao Family even worthy of it! What do you think you are?!”
”Hahahaha! Well said; now you have finally spoken from your heart! For the sake of Silver City, generations of the Xiao Family have always served and worked our hearts out with loyalty! To think that you would question us on what we consider ourselves to be! To say that we were unworthy! Hahaha! Ancestors, did you hear that clearly? This is how the descendants of the Han Family oppress us! Even for a lowly wife to scold the head of the Xiao Family! Such great humiliation will not be tolerated! From today onward, the Xiao Family will have nothing to do with the Han Family!”
Xiao Xing Yun laughed cruelly and suddenly turned to face the painting of the ancestors of Blizzard Silver City. ”First Ancestor Xing Chen! You lost your life protecting your sworn brother back then, but did you think that hundreds of years later, your own descendants would be humiliated and oppressed like this? If you are watching from above, I wonder how sad you feel, if you'd regret what you did back then!”
Tears streamed down Xiao Xing Yun's face as he mourned bitterly, ”As long as the Silver Blizzard City remains, the Xiao Family's descendants will never perish! Master Han, you made this blood oath before the heroes of the world, but to think that today, your descendants are trying to wipe the Xiao Family out… If you are watching, open your eyes and see how pitiful we have become!”
”Xiao Xing Yun! Y-you are utterly shameless!” Han Zhan Meng was vibrating with anger. If he could, he would strangle Xiao Xing Yun to death this instant! After all these years in Blizzard Silver City, he never knew that this elder was such a great actor!
All this nonsense spouted was enough to make someone's lungs explode from anger!
”To think that the descendants of the Xiao Family are so ill-fated!” Xiao Xing Yun continued to cry sorrowfully. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said, ”Finally, there's somewhere to seek justice! The fair and just Three Holy Lands have always helped people. Today, the esteemed elders of three Holy Lands have graced us with their presence; it is a great chance to seek justice for the oppression the Xiao Family have suffered! Return peace to Blizzard Silver City! There must be someone who is a fair judge of all these actions!”
After making this convincing speech, he turned around and looked at Mo Xiao Yao as he bowed deeply. Joy and grief appeared on his face, like a tenant who had been oppressed for thousands of years and was finally freed.
”Elder Mo, you are here to witness everything today! The Xiao Family is faced with disaster of our clan being wiped out with little chance of survival! Please seek justice for us! Let the world know that justice exists! Loyalty is not to be insulted! Please… uphold justice for us!”
Xiao Xing Yun bowed deeply again without raising his head.
Behind him, the elders of the Xiao Family stumbled their way forward and knelt to the ground, crying, ”Great Three Holy Lands, please investigate and seek justice for us!”
The synchronization in their actions and speech was incredible, almost as if it were rehearsed beforehand.
Han Zhan Meng was so overwhelmed by anger that he could not speak. Xiao Xing Yun had twisted the facts so blatantly, literally speaking without any conscience! Despite his convincing and moving performance and acting, not a single sentence was truthful!
To be able to learn such an ability after living for so long, truly, he was a great talent, an incredible talent!
Had Xiao Xing Yun practiced with such rigour in his martial arts, even becoming a Saint would not have been impossible for him!
One could truly become unparalleled in the world by being shameless!
Instantly, noises broke out across the hall. The elders from the Han Family were appalled by his shamelessness!
Despite everyone being aware of the truth, Xiao Xing Yun had managed to twist lies into truth! It was the Xiao Family who had oppressed and harmed others, but he made himself the victim!
”Xiao Xing Yun, do you have shame! You are destroying the reputation of the Xiao Family's ancestors!”
”Xiao Xing Yun! To think you could be this shameless when you are this old! Everyone knows how the Xiao Family has been in Blizzard Silver City! How do you have the cheek to spout such nonsense!”
”Xiao Xing Yun! You being shameless was enough, but to think that the entire Xiao Family is just as shameless as you! To even carry out such a shameless act, I must have been blind for not realizing how despicable you were!”
”…”
Had the experts of three Holy Lands not be present, the hall would have gone through a bloodbath.
The Venerable of Life and Death from the Supreme Golden City let out a solemn look and coughed, and his vigil eyes scanned the entire hall. Everyone was instantly silenced by his aura.
