"Miss, are you also an accomplice to their murderers?" the Grey-clothed Venerable’s heart surged with rage, and his eyes grew even colder, "Don’t forget that you are of the Yao Family, with the Yao Family’s blood flowing through your veins. Yet now you help outsiders kill mbers of the Yao Family, how can you face your bedridden grandpa?"
Yao Yunqing coldly chuckled, fearlessly eting the elder’s gaze.
"The Grey-clothed Venerable hasn’t been involved in affairs, so naturally, you’re unaware of recent events. I, Yao Yunqing, may be a woman, but I am also a direct descendant of the Yao Family, the granddaughter whom grandpa dotes on the most. Now, soone has taken advantage of grandpa’s severe illness to sell to the Gong Family in exchange for ten years of Elixir supply, and even captured my friend to use as a threat. Do you expect to grovel at their feet? I, Yao Yunqing, am not so lowly!"
The woman’s clear voice enunciated every word, forcefully striking into the heart of the Grey-clothed Venerable.
The Grey-clothed Venerable’s brows furrowed. He had been absent only for a while, but such things had happened. The stern grey eyes involuntarily swept toward Yao Lin, who was cowering beside him.
"Later, you’ll explain this to in person!"
No matter what, it was in front of outsiders after all, and Yao Lin, as a mber of the Yao Family’s direct lineage, would naturally protect it.
"Miss, even if Yao Lin was at fault first, you could have co to for justice. Why conspire with outsiders to harm our entire Yao Family?"
"Outsiders? Ha-ha!" Yao Yunqing laughed maniacally twice, her eyes revealing a hint of sadness, "Venerable, do you know? My friend, Mu Ruyue, she’s a senior disciple of an Elixir Master. I went through countless efforts to invite her to the Yao Family to treat grandpa, but... but my second uncle actually..."
At this point, Yao Yunqing beca overwheld with emotion, her accusatory finger stabbing the air as she spoke: "After he heard these people ca to treat grandpa, he let the Yao Family’s n kill her! I went to great lengths to save grandpa, but second uncle did everything in his power to stop . This intention is known to everyone; he surely does not want to see grandpa recover, wishing to take control of the Yao Family’s power for himself!"
Of course, Yao Yunqing would not tell the Grey-clothed Venerable that Mu Ruyue had done this to save her. If she did, their situation would beco disadvantaged. Since the Venerable and grandpa were as close as brothers, he naturally hoped for his recovery, and the only thing that could make the Venerable yield was this reason.
"Nonsense!" Yao Lin, red-faced with anger, anxiously looked toward the Grey-clothed Venerable, "Venerable, don’t listen to her rambling. I definitely didn’t do that. It was these bastards who killed people of the Yao Family for no reason, and so many of them. Venerable, you must stand up for !"
The Grey-clothed Venerable’s gaze darkened, turning to Yao Yunqing: "Is what you said true?"
"Indeed!" Yao Yunqing nodded vigorously, a flicker in her eyes, "Venerable, Miss Mu is the senior disciple of an Elixir Master. If we offend her, that Elixir Master might beco displeased. This ti, he let his disciple co first to check on grandpa. If it’s not satisfactory, he would personally make the trip. But, my second uncle almost killed her. If so, then no one in this world could save grandpa’s life!"
These words were also a preparation in case Mu Ruyue failed.
The master himself had said that he allowed his disciple to help first to assess grandpa’s condition, and if all failed, he would take matters into his own hands. Therefore, even if Mu Ruyue’s treatnt failed, she would be able to leave this place safely...
