Chapter 157: Burning of the Murong Mansion (6)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
“Xue, let me ask you one question and you have to be honest, why were you hiding behind the pillar that day?” Murong Rui stared at Murong Qingxue, his eyes were so piercing like he could see through Murong Qingxue"s heart, “Just be honest with us.”Murong Qingxue mustered up all her courage to not avoid Murong Rui"s stare, those eyes were so piercing! “To reply to the First Elder, I heard that the Family Master and the Elders were questioning my sister in the guest hall, and you know what has happened between me and my sister, so I... ...”
Murong Qingxue discontinued her sentence, but everyone knew what she was trying to say, she was hiding behind the pillar because she wanted to see her sister having a hard time.
Murong Rui and others found it reasonable, considering the drama happened between the two girls.
Murong Xin chimed in, “Xue, why did Murong Qingyan accuse you of stealing the Recovery Elixir if you are really innocent like you just said?”
“As you all know, me and sister are not on good terms since we were little girls.” explained Murong Qingxue, “I know sister just hates my guts, so she was like a cornered beast who would do something desperate when she was questioned by the whole family, she accused me of being the thief so she could tarnish my name.”
“What about--- ---” Continued Murong Xin, but Murong Xiong interrupted him.
“All right, that"s enough. No more word about this.” said Murong Xiong, his voice was husky, but the authority was hard to neglect, “It"s Murong Qingyan who has stolen the Recovery Elixir, spread the word out. And as she said herself, she has nothing to do with our family any more. Just spread the word out we have kicked Murong Qingyan out of our family because she has stolen our family treasure.”
“Family Master!” Murong Rui raised his head in shock, little did he expect Murong Xiong would really make such a decision.
“Enough. I"ve made up my mind on this one, just spread the word out.” insisted Murong Xiong.
Murong Qingxue was wild with joy, she had already prepared a speech to prove herself innocent, but Murong Xiong now had directly sentenced Murong Qingyan.
Murong Qingxue had such a hard time suppression her laughter and exclamation, she had turned danger into safety!
Murong Rui didn"t look convinced, neither did the other Elders.
While Murong Xiong ignored Murong Rui and the other Elders, he looked at Murong Qingxue and said, “Xue, go get prepared, I will send you to the Four Colleges.”
“Excuse me?” Murong Qingxue thought she had heard it wrong.
“I said I will send you to the Four Colleges, so go get ready.” Murong Xiong repeated himself, “Murong Qingyan is no longer a Murong, so I"m sending you instead of her to Four Colleges, no way will I waste such a precious opportunity on her.”
Murong Qingxue almost fainted hearing such great news, had she never expected she would be able to enroll into the Four College, but she pointed out the obvious problem, “but grandfather, it"s my sister who has won the qualification, can I really get enrolled instead of her?”
“Don"t worry, leave it to me.” replied Murong Xiong with killing intent flas.h.i.+ng across his eyes, “Murong Qingyan is unworthy! It"s going to be a waste if she enrolls into Four Colleges.”
Murong Qingxue answered, and her voice was shaking, “Thank you, Family Master.”
“Good, Xue, I"m sure you know Nangong Ye is also going to study in Four College, I hope you can make the best of this opportunity.” Murong Xiong looked at Murong Qingxue in the eye and continued, “However there"s one thing you should always keep in mind, you are a Murong, it"s your family who has given you such a precious opportunity.”
“Family Master, I will never forget I owe everything to my family, I will be nothing without my family.” Murong Qingxue bowed and answered in a serious manner, “And I will give my all to make my family stronger!”
Murong Xiong was quite satisfied about Murong Qingxue"s answer, he nodded and said, “Great, you are indeed my good granddaughter. You may cultivate on our Inhibited Ground before you set off to Four College, I want you to know I have high hopes on you!”
Only Murong Xiong could decide who was qualified to cultivate in the Inhibited Ground, the cultivators would advance in leaps and bounds in the Inhibited Ground for there was abundant Spiritual Power flowing in that s.p.a.ce.
Murong Qingxue almost failed at concealing how excited she was when she heard that, but soon she collected herself and said, “Thank you Family Master, I will definitely make use of this opportunity and work harder!”
“You may withdraw”, said Murong Xiong with his sleeve lifting.
With that Murong Qingxue withdrew the guest hall. Her footsteps were so different from when she left Ruxue House, she could just jump out of joy.
