Chapter 491: Chapter 493 Mother and Son Recognition (3)
“Is… is that Jing’er…”
“Qingshi great-grandfather, how co you are out here?”
Just then, a sweet voice sounded from behind.
Qingshi’s expression slightly relaxed as he turned his head towards the approaching Xiao Jing and spoke gently, “Jing’er, where is your father?”
Xiao Jing was taken aback, biting her lip and falling silent.
An uneasy atmosphere began to spread, causing Qingshi to frown again, “Jing’er, you’ve always been a good child, don’t lie to your great-grandfather. Tell quickly, where has your father gone?”
Tears began to well up in Xiao Jing’s eyes, and with a sob, she threw herself into Qingshi’s arms and said pitifully, “Great-grandfather, it’s my fault, I… I am to bla for my father’s death!”
Qingshi’s body gradually stiffened, and his complexion darkened instantly, “What did you say?”
Xiao Jing sniffled, lifted her tearful eyes towards Qingshi, “That day, the descendant of Xiao Yun pressured my father. He even wanted to exterminate the entire Xiao family, and Jing’er had no choice but to… to…”
No matter what Xiao Jing continued to say, Qingshi didn’t hear her. His mind echoed obsessively with a few words…
The descendant of Xiao Yun!
That damned Xiao Yun, his descendant actually appeared in Central Province and ca to the Xiao family!
In an instant, a surge of anger welled up within Qingshi.
He had not forgotten that when he, too, was considered a prodigy, he could never be the center of attention because of Xiao Yun’s presence.
Only after Xiao Yun had offended the Yao family did he erge in everyone’s sight.
Yet now, his descendant dared to kill San’er. This was intolerable, and he would make them realize what it ant to offend the Xiao family!
“Let’s go. Take to et his descendant. Whoever dares to kill my people, I’ll make them pay!”
“No way!” Xiao Jing’s face turned pale with fear as she hastily grabbed onto Qingshi, saying anxiously, “The descendant of Xiao Yun is protected by the Yao family!”
Qingshi, now completely blinded by rage, his eyes blood-red, laughed maniacally and spoke through clenched teeth, “Protected by the Yao family? So what? I’ll make them disappear without a trace, even if it costs my life!”
Without giving anyone a chance to react, he flashed out the door in a leap.
Watching the direction in which the robed elder headed, the light in Xiao Jing’s eyes gradually darkened. Where was the distress and anxiety from before?
“Miss Jing’er, why would you do this?” The Xiao Family Elders were sowhat angry, “Aren’t you sending Ancestor Elder Qingshi to his death?”
The corner of Xiao Jing’s lips curled up in a sinister smile, “Indeed, I am sending him to his death. What use is there in keeping such a useless person around?”
The crowd hadn’t expected her to admit it so bluntly, and they were taken aback, their looks filled with astonishnt.
Why wasn’t killing Third Master enough for the young lady? Why wouldn’t she even spare Ancestor Elder Qingshi?
“Elders, I no longer have any relatives left in the Xiao family. I hereby sever ties with the family, and I ask you elders to help remove my na from the ancestral hall.”
With that, Xiao Jing didn’t even glance at the reactions of the people around her, and she walked straight out the door, soon disappearing into the night sky…
“Let’s go. We need to see what’s happening, so Ancestor Elder Qingshi doesn’t drag the whole Xiao family down with him.”
The Elders hurriedly left without attending to anything else.
The Ancestor Elders that ca after exchanged glances and smiled wryly. They had all heard what Xiao Jing had said, and none had expected that the banished Xiao Yun’s lineage would return. And they had even beco involved with the Yao family.
