Chapter 789 - Family Reunion II
Jin Hao could imagine how panicked everyone in the Misty Lake clan was, "Stupid, they didn't realize that they had invited a ferocious wolf into their own home!" he snickered.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Jin Hua still didn't understand what Jin Hao meant.
Based on what happened in the Yunmo kingdom until Queen Dowager Jin Hao found out that the effects of Lao Min Na's pills slowly but surely infect one's mind, it was difficult to recognize as it would take months before the patient or victim showed any side effects.
What made it even more difficult to determine the cause of his illness was that everyone who took the pill felt great benefits to their bodies, such as Sanguan Wu Ci who could increase his cultivation in a short period of time and the Empress Dowager instantly recovered from her old illness as soon as he took the Lao Min pill.
Therefore when their condition worsened, no one would think that Lao Pil Min Na was the cause of their condition, maybe they would even ask Lao Min Na to help again to cure their condition.
"Don't you realize that every person with a mental disorder is someone who has taken the Lao Min Na pill?" Jin Hao smirked.
Jin Hua's face was as white as flour, her eyes were bulging so wide it looked like her eyeballs was about to pop out of their sockets. Jin Hua is flabbergasted, she doesn't want to believe it, but when she remembers whoever took the pill, she realizes that everyone who got the pill has gone crazy.
"Lao...Lao Min Na did this?" Jin Hua almost chokes on her anger but then she feel confused, she didn't know why Lao Min Na did this to the Misty Lake clan? because as far as she could remember she was sure the Misty Lake clan had no enmity towards Lao Min Na.
why is she doing this to us, I know she was up to something, but I never thought it would be something outrageous like this?!" Jin Hua is barely able to contain her rage.
Even though she didn't like the Misty Lake Clan but that place still held memories of her two mothers and brother and there were also innocent people and children like her mother and her who lived there, what have they done to make Lao Min Na do this to them?
Only by her confused expression, Jin Hao know what she was thinking, "Why is it so hard to understand" Jin Ha snickered, "When people hurt you the reasons are not always personal, the truth is often it's just a matter of business. Jin Hao clasped his hands behind his back he looks distant and cold just like the pine tree she saw in the winter.
Jin Hao understood that Jin Hua must be distraught by the sudden news, unlike Jin Hao who had long since severed ties with the Misty Lake clan, Jin Hua still considered that place as her home. Jin Hao heaved a heavy sigh, why does she remind him with Lory, his heart gradually soften, "Lao Min Na has some reasons to injure Misty Lake. First, she wants to prove his loyalty to Jin Kai."
"Jin Kai, you mean he knows about all this?!" Jin Hua's breath quickened, even though she had never liked Jin Kai due to his hostility towards Jin Hao since they were young but she never dreams in million years that Jin kai would go this far.
"Yes, not only did he know he might have been the one who planned all of this?" Jin Hao knew Jin Kai's character very well, the man was very ambitious, vicious, and ruthless to the bones like Wei Zu Tian but less impulsive and courageous to face people head-on, he is more like a rat who lives in a sneaky corner and waits for an opportunity to steal the cheese.
"Let me guess, all the elders who went crazy were the ones who opposed Jin Kai to become the next clan leader or at least expressed their doubts about Jin Kai, and the young family members who also had the same symptoms were the strong candidates that they supported to take over against Jin Kai, it can be realized here that Jin Kai has enmity with all of them but as one of the candidates for the clan leader Jin Kai can't hurt them with his own hands without notice by anyone else so and that's where Lao Min Na fills in"
Jin Hua was dumbfounded when he realized that everything Jin Hao said made sense, and the elder who killed his wife and daughter was the elder who proposed to bring Jin Hao back to Misty Lake and make Jin Hao one of the candidates for the clan leader candidate.
Jin Hua still remembered the wrath in Jin Kai's eyes, Jin Hua recognized those eyes easily no matter how hard he tried to hide them because they were the same eyes every time he saw Jin Hao.
Even so, Jin Hua would never have expected Jin Kai to kill so many people just to claim the position of the clan leader.
Jin Hua closed his eyes to swallow his anger and a second later he took a deep breath after she calmed down Jin Hua stare at Jin hao with a determined gaze "And the other reason is?"
Jin Hao knew he finally understood what kind of man it was, knowing meant he would be wary from now on, Jin Hao wasn't as cold as he looked deep inside he still thought of Jin Hua as his little sister, the reason he never contacted her for all these years was because he didn't want anyone else to use their relationships to suppress her and make Jin Hua life more difficult than it already is.
What Jin Hua never realized was that Jin Hao had always been concerned about Jin Hua's wellbeing and since he became the King of the White Dragon Palace then when his palace became stronger he sent several people to become Jin Hua's close subordinates and secretly protected her.
Jin Hua never realized the first subordinates she had were actually Jin Hao's people and all the knowledge she had gained to improve his skills as a Beast Master also came from the rare book that Jin Hao had secretly smuggled into the Misty Lake through his people who he planted within the Misty Lake territory, of course, Jin Hua didn't know about this, she naively thought she was lucky that the precious books fell on her lap just like that. If only she knew, she might die from embarrassment.
"Another reason is that Lao Min Na wants to use the power of Misty Lake to hide her bad business, such as slavery, kidnapping, and mercenary, she also wants to cover up her bad reputation involving the Yunmo kingdom," Jin said. Hao.
"Yun mo Kingdom, isn't it in the Gui Hong continent?" Jin Hua was dumbfounded, "What has he done?"
"The simple explanation is, he did the same to Yunmo kingdom only the damage was less, maybe Lao Min Na used Yun Dao city as an experiment" Jin Hao shrugged nonchalantly.
Jin Hua was surprised that not only was Lao Min Na brave enough to harm the powerful Yunmo kingdom royal family and officials, but she was also even able to escape unscathed and able to block the rumors from reaching the Xin Fan continent. Lao Min Na's action showed how great her capability was and this fact terrifying her.
"That woman will eventually swallow the Misty Lake whole," Jin Hao voice deepens.
Jin Hua's face stiffened, she was contemplated what she should do after this, no one would believe her if she tells them about Lao Min Na and Jin Kai would not let her live as well.
"I advise you to leave Misty Lake," Jin Hao said abruptly.
Jin Hua looked at Jin Hao in surprise.
Jin Hao thought she was reluctant to leave the misty lake when she had painstakingly built her reputation over the years and finally she managed to rise to a high position in the misty lake clan.
Jin Hao understands Jin Hua's worries but he believes with her talent and hard-working nature she will have a bright future wherever she goes and if necessary he will personally help her.
"If you are worried about your future, I can guarantee that whatever you get in the misty lake you will get back out there" Jin Hao adds in, honestly he didn't want Jin Hua to stay any longer in the misty lake clan especially when Lao Min Na and her Demon were there, "There is no future in the misty lake clan, you better leave before it's too late." Jin Hao reassured her again, he might never admit it out loud but he really cared about his step-sister.
Jin Hua's eyes glittered and he could barely hide her bright smile, "You're worried about me?" her face filled with joy, the truth is she had a guilty survivor after her two mothers and Jin Hao dies, she always felt guilty she can live when her loved ones don't.
Fortunately, Jin Hao was alive and well.
Jin Hao felt a bit embarrassed he averts his gaze from her awkwardly and waved his hand nonchalantly "I'm just being nice, it's up to you to listen to me or not"
