All of a sudden the whether turned gloomy as the First Elder asked Murong Yun that question.
Murong Yun fiddled with the wooden boxes that Su Liancheng had just given him and looked like he hadn’t heard what the First Elder had said.
Seeing that, the Third Elder cleared his throat and asked, “Deputy Master, how are you going to deal with the Xiaos? I believe you’ve already got a plan, would you care to elaborate? It must be the Xiaos, they have disappeared for so long but all of a sudden people found their whereabouts and what are the odds, some mysterious martial arts cultivator had found us and attacked us! We need to make sure they will have to suffer for what they have done, it’s payback time!”
The First Elder chimed in, “Old Three is right, we were all very excited when we heard Deputy Master has found more information and we are very grateful for what you have done for us. It must be the Xiaos, right?”
It almost seemed a bit too unnatural the way the Three Elders tried to convince Murong Yun that the Xiaos were responsible for the attack before Murong Yun had the chance to share the information that he had just found.
Murong Yun loathed these people even more at the moment, how innocent the Xiaos were! The Gus found their whereabouts and hunt them down to force the Xiaos to marry them and now the Gus were trying so hard to proceed their plan by persuading Murong Yun to join them!
Su Liancheng loathed the sanctimonious bunch as well, how greedy they were! Now he understood how come that Gu Lina tried to intoxicate Luo Qianqian, it ran in the family, they all coveted for things and people who didn’t belong to them!
Su Liancheng harbored hatred for the Gus before Gu Lina intoxicated Luo Qianqian with the cat, he couldn’t forget how the Gus kept watch on him while Murong Yun was gone and he had been waiting for an opportunity to let them have a piece of his mind, it looked like soon enough he could have that opportunity.
Murong Yun replied with a cold voice without even sparing a look at them, “Oh? The Xiaos?”
“Yes, Deputy Master. We found the timing very interesting, it must be the Xiaos, let’s take care of this before it goes out of control!”
“Is that so? The timing?” a cold smile flashed across Murong Yun’s face, “And you are sure it’s the Xiaos just because of the timing.”
The First Elder and the Third Elder exchanged a subtle look, the message it conveyed was ‘What is that supposed to mean? We tried so hard to convince Deputy Master to help us and take the Xiaos down, why does he ask us that question? Does this mean he has found out the truth? It’s not the Xiaos, all of our previous efforts are wasted and all hopes of marrying the Xiaos has come to nothing?’
The Gus had set a goal of being the only Big Clan in the Jianghu Underworld, the Imperial Noble Consort in the palace was from the Gu Clan, and her son was the General Invincible, they wished they could ride on the wind and dominate other clans!
“What do you mean, Deputy Master? You don’t think they are?” the First Elder asked.
They had been counting on convincing Murong Yun that he needed to lead them and hunt the Xiaos down for so long, therefore they were taken aback when they found out Murong Yun didn’t believe that theory.
The Second Elder who was still in deep sorrow over losing his treasures also chimed in, “What do you mean, Deputy Master? I’ve been in my workshop for too long, did I miss any updates?”
Su Liancheng snorted, “What a greedy bunch! Yeah sure, why not target against the Xiaos when we want to force them to marry us? Why not gobble them up when we have some strong backup? Tut tut tut! All right, now I want you to lay your hand on the heart and examine yourself, what have you done to the Xiaos? It served you people right when they attacked you and your village, but they had left after that attack! And how can you just slander them and accusing them of making a second attack on you when you have no evidence at all? How innocent are they, just because they are born gifted, so they have to endure all this bullshxx?”
The Three Elder turned red and white by turns in an agony of embarrassment and guilt, and slowly the First Elder and the Second Elder lowered their heads.
However, the Third Elder was brazen as bold as brass, he thumped the table angrily, “You are making that up! Watch your mouth, you little brat! Deputy Master doesn’t need you to speak for him! Tell you what, we are battered, but it’s going to be as easy as killing an ant if I want to kill you!”
Su Liancheng wasn’t afraid of this man, he charged towards the Third Elder and attacked him on the chest, with that the Third Elder flew away like a falling kite!
“You’ve gone too far, you little brat!” the First Elder assumed his position and attacked Su Liancheng, killing intent filled his eyes, he didn’t show any mercy in his attack!
“How great, I have been wanting this for so long, let’s have a conversation like real men!” Su Liancheng was relieved that he could talk to them by martial arts.
The First Elder was shaken to the core that Su Liancheng, being so young, turned out to be such a great cultivator.
The First Elder took a few steps back after he took a hit from Su Liancheng, and Su Liancheng followed him all the way outside of the hall.
“Now!” the First Elder and the Third Elder who was lying on the ground exchanged a look and decided to make a joint attack!
Seeing that, the Second Elder begged Murong Yun anxiously, “Deputy Master, let’s talk this over peacefully, we are family and friends, why solve this over a fight!”
