Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability - Chapter 1726
Chapter 1726: Chapter 1726: Want to Frame Mo Zheng?
He couldn’t be bothered to explain any further because, in the end, everyone would know the truth.
“What? Why would people from the Xiang Dynasty come?”
Upon hearing this, a wave of fear surged from the soles of the Great Elder’s feet to his forehead.
Gu poison was always greatly feared, and he had been very cautious when using it, trying his best not to employ it on members of the royal family.
How could he know that his own granddaughter would think of using the Love Potion on someone from the Xiang Dynasty royal family?
“Qiiingyu has already died, what more do they want? A vibrant life has already been given to them as compensation, could they possibly still want to wipe us out completely?”
He instinctively spoke out, questioning Mo Zheng.
“So does this mean, Great Elder, that you believe Gu Qingyu was guilty of casting Worm Gu on Lord Yaan?” Mo Zheng found an opening and quickly asked him.
“I…”
The Great Elder opened his mouth but was unable to answer.
Even if he didn’t want to admit it, it was no longer possible. Gu Qingyu’s reckless nature meant she was truly capable of doing such a thing, especially to someone of high status and power.
“Great Elder, not only did Gu Qingyu attempt to cast Worm Gu on King Yaan, but after the attempt failed, she assassinated the alchemist by his side. She also destroyed the medicinal pills she made for King Yaan’s antidote and ended up injured as well,” Xuanyuan Zimo said, addressing each word to the Great Elder.
The Great Elder took a deep breath upon hearing this.
That Gu Qingyu, had he known she would cause him so much trouble, he never should have let her leave the Sect… No, he should have made a decisive choice when she was still in her swaddling clothes, to strangle her to death.
This way, he would have saved himself a lot of trouble.
“Great Elder, where did Gu Qingyu get the Love Potion from? If I’m not mistaken, with Gu Qingyu’s cultivation level, she shouldn’t be capable of nurturing Love Potion, right?” the sect master questioned the Great Elder gravely.
“This…”
A trace of guilt flickered through the Great Elder’s eyes as he subconsciously touched his nose.
“I thought Qiiingyu was just interested in Love Potion and pestered me for it. How could I have known she would commit such foolish acts behind my back?”
He felt quite innocent. After all, it wasn’t him who had instructed Gu Qingyu to target Lord Xiang, and now he was quite embarrassed, his face being lost in front of so many people when the matter of the Love Potion was brought up.
“The Great Elder is indeed extremely indulgent towards Gu Qingyu,” the sect master said, the corners of his mouth curling up with sarcasm, tinged with a hint of acidity in his tone.
“I…”
The Great Elder, knowing he was at fault, shrank his neck.
“This mess Gu Qingyu has created for our Qingyun Sect, Great Elder, how do you plan to explain this to the Sect?” the sect master raised his eyebrows, looking at the Great Elder, demanding an answer.
“This…”
The Great Elder was at a loss for words. The royal family of the Xiang Dynasty was not something a mere elder of the Qingyun Sect could afford to offend, and if things went wrong, it could lead to the destruction of the entire sect.
“Sect Master, this time Qiiingyu went on an experience with Mo Zheng. As the Eldest Senior Brother, he should have guided his junior sister properly, but instead, he allowed Qiiingyu to cause this commotion. It’s only right for him to give you and the Sect an explanation,” he said, shamelessly shifting the topic onto Mo Zheng.
Hearing his shameless remarks, all present almost couldn’t help but curse. Had anyone ever seen someone more shameless than the Great Elder?
His granddaughter caused havoc, bringing trouble to Qingyun Sect, yet he wanted to make Mo Zheng take the blame?
