“Ling—Ling’er!”
Xiao Liangxiao’s heart trembled when she saw Xiao Muling’s cold eyes. She immediately manifested her Spirit Martial Art.
At the same time, two people walked in from outside. When they saw this scene, their expressions changed drastically! “Xiao Muling, what are you doing?”
Xiao Muling looked at the person and loosened her grip. “What do you think I’m doing?” She gave Xiao Liangxiao a fake smile.
She was indeed weak now. If it were in the past, Xiao Liangxiao would’ve been dead the moment she grabbed her neck. The two who appeared wouldn’t be able to stop her.
Xiao Liangxiao immediately took a step back and covered her neck. Then, she forced a smile and said weakly, “Ling’er is just joking with me.”
She also wanted to know what happened to Xiao Muling!
Xiao Muling sneered in her heart. ‘I knew she would say that. After all, Xiao Liangxiao is a good person!’
‘A joke?’ The man was confused. When he saw the dead Lian’er, his expression suddenly changed. He immediately pointed at Xiao Muling and scolded her. “Xiao Muling, how dare you murder someone?!”
‘Murder?’ Xiao Muling glanced at that person and laughed sarcastically. ‘Seeing that someone is dead, their first reaction is to say that I’m the one who killed them.’
Xiao Liangxiao immediately reacted. She walked up to the man and said anxiously, “Uncle Liuyuan, it has nothing to do with Ling’er. I did it; Ling’er doesn’t know anything.”
After she said this, the two of them glared at Xiao Muling with even more unfriendliness.
“Xiao Er, I know you are kind-hearted. Don’t blame yourself for everything.” Xiao Liuyuan looked at Xiao Liangxiao with a much friendlier look.
They all saw that Xiao Muling was about to kill her. What else could she not do?
Xiao Muling sneered. ‘Xiao Liangxiao’s words are a joke. She deliberately emphasized that what happened in my room had nothing to do with me. Next, she said that she killed the person herself. She’s indirectly telling them that I’m the one who did it and that she, Xiao Liangxiao, is kind enough to take the blame for me.
‘Xiao Liuyuan? Oh, I remember now; he’s Xiao Liangxiao’s uncle. It’s obvious who he will help.’
“Since the murderer has admitted to it, let’s deal with it quickly.” Xiao Muling’s red lips parted slightly as her cold words spread. Then, she turned around indifferently and sat down.
Xiao Liangxiao looked at Xiao Muling in surprise. ‘Why did she say that?! Under normal circumstances, Xiao Muling would still rush to say that she did it after hearing my words, even if she did kill someone. This matter would then naturally fall on Xiao Muling. I wouldn’t need to bear any responsibility. In any case, Xiao Muling would bear the brunt of the consequences.’
Xiao Liuyuan frowned. ‘Lian’er is a cultivator, so how can Xiao Muling kill her? I obviously know that, but…’
Glancing at Xiao Liangxiao from the corner of his eye, Xiao Liuyuan made a prompt decision. “Xiao Muling, are you going to push this matter to Xiao’er again?”
He spoke as if Xiao Muling was the murderer and Xiao Liangxiao was the scapegoat.
“Xiao Liuyuan!” These words were cold!
Xiao Liuyuan’s heart throbbed violently. Then, his expression darkened as he berated in a low voice, “You—how dare you! How dare you call me by my name!?”
‘She’s just a piece of trash!’
Xiao Muling walked toward him, and her powerful aura spread out around her!
In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere in the room became oppressive.
Looking at Xiao Muling walking over, Xiao Liuyuan’s face twitched violently, and some sort of panic surged in his heart again.
Xiao Liangxiao was also stunned. ‘Is this girl really Xiao Muling?’
“So what if I killed her? Could it be that you want to kill me—the Xiao family’s Eldest Miss—for the sake of a servant girl from the Xiao family?!”
Xiao Muling’s words were powerful, and her eyes were smiling as she looked at Xiao Liuyuan. However, her smile was filled with bloodlust!
When she said the last word, Xiao Liuyuan couldn’t withstand the immense pressure and took a step back.
Unable to utter a single word, he felt suffocated under the immense pressure.
“You, you…”Xiao Liuyuan was incoherent and didn’t know what to say.
The people behind him walked over. “Xiao Muling, you’re a piece of trash. Who do you think you are?!”
Xiao Muling looked at him and quickly searched her memories. ‘His name is Xiao Ze, the son of Xiao Liuyuan. He has bullied Xiao Muling since a young age. Are the three of them not going to let go of this matter today?’
Xiao Ze knew that Xiao Liangxiao was the one who killed Lian’er, but he still wanted to push the blame to Xiao Muling.
“Since that’s the case, why don’t we head over to the elders and show them how this person died?”
It wasn’t that they wanted to hold onto the matter and not let it go; They wanted to blow things up!
‘Let the entire Xiao family know!? Won’t that be for the best?’
‘The family elders! Her head must’ve been hit by a rock yesterday!’
Apart from the family leader, the family elders were the most powerful people in the Xiao family. If the leader made a mistake, the few of them could join forces to punish him!
‘Now, she actually wants to bring this matter to the elders!’ Xiao Liuyuan exclaimed in his heart as his face flushed red.
Although many of the Xiao family’s elders were biased toward Xiao Liangxiao and none of them paid attention to Xiao Muling, they didn’t want to disturb the elders.
If the matter was brought to them, they would immediately know who did it once they examined the wound.
Most importantly, if he said that Xiao Muling had killed someone the moment he came in, the elders would think him incapable!
“Ling’er, why bother the elders? We can settle this ourselves. I guarantee that Uncle Liuyuan will not say anything today.”
When Xiao Liangxiao heard that the elders were going to be involved, she also came over and persuaded her with a smile. She looked like someone who wasn’t involved in this matter. ‘She, Xiao Muling, must’ve gone mad. It’s just a matter of a maidservant dying, yet she actually wants to bring it up to the elders. What good would it do her if she goes to the elders? What’s wrong with her today? Why is she suddenly so aggressive about everything? Also, she became disobedient today.’
“If you don’t explain it clearly, you’ll say that I bullied you, wronged you, and made you shoulder all of this. I can’t afford to do that; after all, you’re the genius going to the Realm of Summoning.” Xiao Muling looked at Xiao Liangxiao and sneered. When it came to speaking about the Realm of Summoning, she could be more serious.
As expected, Xiao Liangxiao’s expression changed.
“Let’s go.” Xiao Muling was about to walk out.
Upon seeing her actions, Xiao Liangxiao’s expression changed. In the blink of an eye, she walked up to Xiao Muling and blocked her way!
“Ling’er!” she said in a low voice, her expression changing.
Xiao Muling looked into her eyes and asked, “Xiao Qing, what do you think?”
‘Xiao Qing!’ The other three looked toward the door.
A tall figure had appeared at the door out of the blue and was looking at them expressionlessly.
Xiao Liangxiao’s hands trembled when she saw Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing had followed the family leader since he was young. It could be said that he had grown up by the leader’s side and was currently one of the most capable guards! Moreover, he only listened to the family leader’s orders and never showed favoritism, nor would he change his decision for anyone!
There were even rumors in the Xiao family that he would pass the test in the future and become one of the family elders’ disciples so that he could inherit the position of family elder!
‘How did he end up seeing what happened today!’
“Of course, you can if you want to, Missy.”
Xiao Liangxiao, Xiao Liuyuan, and the others felt as if their ears had been struck by thunder!
