Xuan Qingling pursed her lips. She knew that this was the best time for her to clear her name. Without hesitation, she said,” Lord Divine General, what they said is not true. I was not kidnapped. I was framed and forced…”
“No, no, no. It’s not like that. Lord Divine General, we came this time under the orders of the higher-ups. And the matter between Miss Qing Ling and that spirit pharmacist was also witnessed by the clansmen. They are definitely not wronged!”
Hearing Xuan Qingling’s words, the captain’s heart tightened. He knew that things were going to be bad. He didn’t care about his nervousness and fear anymore. He quickly stepped forward and defended himself.
However, Xuan Jiuling didn’t listen to his words at all. Instead, his face darkened and he flung his sleeves.
“Get lost! I’m talking to a friend, how can you interrupt?”
The strength of a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse was by no means trivial. Even if Xuan Jiuling was just out of anger, casually waving his hand, the pressure that dissipated still made the captain’s chest stagnate, taking a few steps back uncontrollably.
The captain stumbled and b.u.mped into a table behind him before he barely managed to steady himself.
The guests sitting at the table all looked at him.
” What are you looking at?” The captain’s face turned red when he noticed the inquisitive gazes. He scolded in a low voice. Be careful, or I’ll poke your eyes out!”
When the guests heard this, they quickly averted their gazes and even secretly moved away.
Even so, the shame and anger in the Black Tortoise Race’s captain’s eyes could not fade for a long time. Looking at the three people who were chatting happily with Xuan Jiuling, he could not figure out the background of those two young martial artists. Xuan Jiuling actually treated him as a “friend”?
Could it be that he was some old monster who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests? Was he only cultivating secret techniques or was he very good at disguising himself? That was why he looked so young even when his bones were young?
Xuan Qingling was originally a little nervous, but after being interrupted by the Black Tortoise Race captain, she calmed down instead.
She seized the opportunity and quickly recounted everything that had happened.
Of course, it wasn’t appropriate for her to mention the aphrodisiac in front of her elders, so Xuan Qingling only vaguely mentioned that she was poisoned by some kind of intermittent poison.
“.. That Young Master Liu is a spirit apothecary. I met him during the Divine Realm Martial Compet.i.tion, so we can be considered to have some friends.h.i.+p. He saw that I was poisoned and was worried that something would happen to me, so he followed me and wanted to detoxify me. There’s no ambiguity between the two of us, let alone eloping..
Xuan Jiuling was very calm at first, but the more he listened, the more his brows furrowed.
” Xuan Qingling, do you mean that someone in the family framed you and poisoned you, forcing you to leave the family and go into hiding?” How preposterous! How could there be such a sc.u.m in the family? How could he harm the younger generation of the family? It’s simply a disgrace to the Black
Tortoise Race!”
Xuan Jiuling was furious.
He had always been the clansman with the greatest sense of honor. He had not married for so many years and had always been in the alliance army to help the Black Tortoise Clan expand its influence in the alliance army.
It was precisely because of this that he was so respected in the Black Tortoise clan.
He hated this kind of internal strife among his clansmen the most..
