Chapter 1473: Chapter 1473: Xv Jiazhi’s Deal

Facing Wang Sijing’s mockery, Lin Tian did actually doubt himself for a second. He seemed really quite foolish.

However, the next second, he denied Wang Sijing’s statement.

This is just the confusion of being involved, while Wang Sijing is clear as an observer, her perspective is much more clear than mine, hence her comments.

Moreover, it must be said that Wang Sijing’s instigation was very successful this time. She had successfully aroused the suspicion in Lin Tian’s heart, after all, there were too many doubts.

"Jiazhi, don’t you want to say a few words in defense?" Lin Tian looked at Xv Jiazhi, his eyes bright as if they could shoot out a thunderbolt at any moment.

At this moment, Lin Tian remained in a very calm state; he believed he could judge clearly.

Xv Jiazhi took a long breath, cupped his hands toward Lin Tian, and said softly: "If someone wants to accuse you, what can be done? I have nothing to refute, these things sound very real, but I’m hearing them for the first time. If Miss Wang goes to tell stories, she would certainly have a lot of fans."

Wang Sijing laughed again, and said: "It’s not that easy to blame my Wang Family! The assassination of Li at the hospital is not only being investigated by the police, but also by Lin Tian’s people, and my Wang Family. It seems luck is on our side, we have indeed found some clues."

She stopped talking at this point, her pair of dark eyes spinning around on Xv Jiazhi.

"Keep talking," Lin Tian urged, he really disliked people selling mysteries to him.

"Twenty years ago, the patriarch of the Xv Family died, which resulted in various direct branches within the Xv Family vying for the position of patriarch. This is not surprising, similar incidents happen in every family. With winners and losers, during the period of competing for the patriarch, even the direct branches were implicated, not to mention the collateral branches, and many were killed or injured."

Lin Tian interrupted her words in an unfriendly manner, and said: "Why are you telling me this?"

Responding to Lin Tian was a roll of the eyes, Wang Sijing also said displeasedly: "Why are you so impatient? Keep listening. Those who failed to compete for the position of patriarch, some died, some became dependents. And some collateral lines were directly expelled from the Xv Family, becoming commoners. Among them was a man named Xv Yu, whose wife died, leaving him with a daughter to rely on each other. You should be quite familiar with his daughter’s name, Xv Qinghuan."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian finally understood what Wang Sijing wanted to say. Xv Qinghuan! Li’s girlfriend, a woman who has always been shrouded in mystery. She once used a mountain-opening knife to cut down dozens of men. And Du Dahai was even respectful to her, it turns out it’s because she has this layer of identity.

"Although Xv Qinghuan’s family was separated from Ancient Martial the Xv Family, they wholeheartedly wanted to return, so they began to rely on the second branch of the Xv Family. Three days before Li was stabbed, Xv Qinghuan went to Xv Jiazhi’s villa, leaving after half an hour. What she did inside, has not been clarified yet, but I think these are enough to prove some things."

"She is the most convenient person to poison the food at the farm. Moreover, Li was stabbed in the hospital ward with the Thousand-Pound Rock, yet the assailant left no traces. The most puzzling thing is, the Thousand-Pound Rock Dagger was found under Xv Qinghuan’s bed. Are these just coincidences?"

Xv Jiazhi’s face grew increasingly dreadful, this feeling of being publicly exposed made him very uncomfortable.

If earlier he could still say Wang Sijing was fabricating stories, now he didn’t know how to refute anymore.

Xv Qinghuan was a hidden pawn under his command, Wang Sijing being able to tell it so easily showed she had done her homework, and almost everything had been investigated. At this point, defending was meaningless.

Lin Tian thought exactly as Xv Jiazhi. He had always been very suspicious of Xv Qinghuan’s background, only because her relationship with Li escalated too quickly did Lin Tian not delve deeper.

Xv Jiazhi laughed, and said: "I had heard before that Miss Wang of the Wang Family possessed extraordinary potential in martial arts, a rare genius seen in a hundred years. Didn’t expect that her thoughts are also so agile, able to deduce so much from a few pieces of information with almost no errors, I admire you."

Wang Sijing cupped her fists toward him, smiling and said: "Respect, respect. If that’s the case, why haven’t you run?"

"Run? Forget it, I don’t think I can escape my Master anyway." Xv Jiazhi had a bitter smile on his face, but also a hint of unexplainable carefree and calmness, as if he was completely fearless.

Lin Tian looked at Xv Jiazhi, shaking his head in disappointment.

"You know the consequences of betraying your masters and ancestors?" Lin Tian asked coldly, his expression authoritative without anger, as though he would make a move to clean house at any moment.

Coming from a scholarly family, Xv Jiazhi was well aware of this. It’s a crime that all cultivators loathe to the bone, and most contemptible. Even if he were killed and abandoned in the wilderness now, no one would collect his body. Even if this matter reaches the Xv Family, Xv Jiazhi would have no place to reason.

The order of Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parent, and Teacher, is still implemented in all major ancient martial families.

Lin Tian is Xv Jiazhi’s master, as the saying goes one day of master, lifetime of father. This is someone who is unfilial and wants to kill his ’father’, how can it be?

"I know. But you cannot kill me, unless you want your good brother, Li, to die with me." Xv Jiazhi smiled fearlessly, his smile as warm as spring, just like the first time meeting him.

This sentence brought a bad feeling to Lin Tian, his right hand involuntarily clenched into a fist, making a rattling sound, his knuckles whitened because of the violent flow of spiritual Qi.

"Miss Wang is right, Xv Qinghuan was indeed one of those collateral expelled from my Xu Family, she’s my cousin. The clandestine affection between her and Li was beyond my expectation, and upon discovering it, she became a pawn I could exploit. Li was indeed ordered by me to be killed by Xv Qinghuan, but this foolish woman for the sake of her lover left him barely alive."

"Li watched helplessly as Xv Qinghuan stabbed him with a knife. Originally expecting he would die of blood loss, unexpectedly Zhang Ya’Er suddenly emerged to save him. In order to prevent Xv Qinghuan from being exposed, Li cannot wake up. Now, Xv Qinghuan adds a dose to Li’s medicine every day, causing him to die slowly, the world’s best hospitals cannot diagnose the cause, only consider it as extensive injuries."

"The medicine was personally concocted by me; the antidote hasn’t been made yet, but only I can make it because no one else knows the formula of the poison. So, Master, how about we make a deal? From now on, we owe each other nothing, and I’ll cure your good brother."
