Chapter 4897: Who Is the Most Suspicious?
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Xuan Yuze was stunned.” Elder Jiuling, what do you have in mind?”
Xuan Jiuling frowned and said,” I’ve also heard about the matter between Xuan Qingling and that physician. The truth seems to be different from what Elder Qingguang said.” I hope Patriarch can verify the truth. We can’t wrongly accuse the geniuses of the clan because of a misunderstanding.”
Elder Qingguang’s expression changed.” Elder Jiuling, what do you mean?”
She really didn’t expect that Xuan Jiuling, who had a deep friends.h.i.+p with her, would actually stand up against her at this time.
Back then, if Xuan Jiuling hadn’t suddenly gone to the military camp, the two of them would have almost become Dao companions.
All these years in the Elder Council, Xuan Jiuling had always supported her.
Xuan Jiuling sighed slightly.” I’m sorry, Qingguang, but this matter…” I think we should listen to Qingling’s own opinion.”
Xuan Yuze heard his implied meaning and asked curiously,”What exactly happened?” Qingling, tell me yourself!”
Elder Qingguang wanted to stop him, but he couldn’t find a reason. He glared fiercely at Xuan Jiuling.
Everyone in the main hall looked at Xuan Qingling.
Xuan Jiuling also realized at this moment that although the discussion was so heated that they had almost convicted Xuan Qingling, her expression was so calm from the beginning to the end, as if she didn’t care about the opinions of outsiders.
This determination was truly extraordinary.
This caused Xuan Jiuling to love talents even more.
Xuan Qingling calmly cupped her hands and bowed to Xuan Yuze. Then, she raised her head and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner,” Elder Qingguang’s words are not true.”
“Oh? However, the two witnesses just now swore on the Heavenly Dao.” Xuan Yuze said.
” They are right,” Xuan Qingling said.” Young Master Liu did come to my room that day.” However, I didn’t invite him. That night, after I finished cultivating, I asked the waiter to send tea to my room. In the end, after drinking it, I felt my entire body heat up and sweat like rain. At that moment, Young Master Liu suddenly came…”
Xuan Qingling quickly recounted the situation.
This was the first time Xuan Yuze had heard of such a thing. His brows furrowed even more tightly.” How preposterous! Are you implying that someone poisoned the tea and framed you? But how was this possible? At that time, you were already Young Master An’s fiancée. Who in the family didn’t know that your ident.i.ty was important? Who would dare to do such a thing?”
Xuan Qingling’s expression did not change.” I don’t know about that. However, not everyone in the family would be happy to see me marry into the White Fen Clan. Whoever is most anxious to make their junior the young madam of the White Fen Clan would be the most suspicious.”
Although she did not mention Elder Qingguang, anyone could tell who she was referring to.
For a moment, everyone present gasped.
Xuan Yuze’s expression also changed slightly.
Elder Qingguang was immediately enraged. With a sudden force, he smashed the short table beside his hand into pieces.
“d.a.m.ned girl, you’ve made a huge mistake, disregarding the interests of the entire clan. Even now, you still don’t admit your mistake and dare to slander this elder? It was simply incurable! Our Black Tortoise clan has always been low-key and pure. How could there be such a shameless thing like you!”
Xuan Jialing covered her face, looking like she was about to cry.
“Sister Qingling, your words hurt my heart. I agreed to help you clean up this mess for the sake of the family, but you actually… How dare you say that about me…”
