The Truth
* Whoosh! *
An exquisite dagger flew out from the crowd, heading straight for Yu Jin's face!
Yu Jin was, after all, an expert close to becoming a Law Emperor. He easily deflected the flying dagger with a single hand.
Yu Jin's face was dark. There were so many people below the stage that he had not been able to see who had attacked him.
"Are you trying to rebel?! Who threw a dagger at me just now?! "Yu Jin roared, his face dark.
The foppish young masters below the stage were all of extraordinary backgrounds. How could they give in to Yu Jin? They all jumped out at his words.
"I threw it!"
"It's me!"
"You were quick to dodge just now, but let's see if you can dodge this time!"
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh! *
The objects thrown had changed from daggers to apples, wine cups, half-eaten oranges, and even a shoe!
The situation quickly spiraled out of control. Yu Jin immediately became the target of all the foppish young masters, beaten and scolded.
As an old man of the Enforcer Board, Mu Qianling's insight was far superior to Yu Jin's. He had long since noticed that most of the juniors below the stage were from the White Horse Constellation, and even Mu Fuping and Zanian were among them.
Yu Jin flew into a rage and immediately wanted to order his men to arrest these foppish young masters. Mu Qianling hurriedly pulled him to his side and whispered, "Your Yu family cannot afford to offend these young masters. I think you should keep the peace."
Yu Jin was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that, Guild Leader Mu?"
Mu Qianling looked around the stage and said, "These are the White Horse Constellation's Crown Prince Gang. Those are from the Wolf family, and those are from our Mu family. Look, even the young master of the Soaring Dragon Constellation's Feng family is here. Tell me, can you afford to offend these people? Let alone you, even this old man has to give them some face. "
Yu Jin was stunned. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that a proper family lord inauguration ceremony would turn out like this.
Nodding, Yu Jin walked off the stage with a dark expression. He had already angered these foppish young masters, and it was no longer appropriate for him to continue presiding over this ceremony.
"Get down!"
"Haha, the ingrate ran away!"
Yu Jin's retreat made the silkpants even more unbridled. Laughter, curses, and even Mu Qianling couldn't control the situation.
It was at this moment that Zanian suddenly walked out from the crowd and said, "Brothers, you're here to observe the ceremony, not to cause trouble. You should behave yourself in someone else's territory."
His voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.
There was no one in this group of good-for-nothings who did not know of Zanian Feng's great name. They obeyed the organization's arrangements and stopped messing around, though they still gathered together to whisper to one another with evil smiles on their faces.
On the stage, the other elder of the Yu family, Yu Zhiyuan, shot Zanian a grateful look. If it weren't for the young master of the Feng family making a move, he really wouldn't have been able to suppress the situation today.
"Zinian, just let the little ones play around. Why bother? We're not here to support them anyway," Lang Shunye said with slight dissatisfaction.
Zanian shook his head. "Let's play it by ear. The opportunity hasn't arrived yet, so let's just bear with it for now. If these fellows really do try to frame Xia Fei, we'll make sure to teach them a lesson."
"Alrighty!" Lang Shunye laughed heartily. Seeing the determination in Zanian's eyes, young master Lang felt that the young master of the Feng family who had shaken the world with him all those years ago had returned!
…
Yu Jin walked off the stage, furrowing his eyebrows as he hurried over to Yuhua's side.
Yuhua was in high spirits today. He was dressed in a snow-white robe, making himself look dashing and elegant, with a hint of carefreeness on his face.
"God knows where these little bastards came from. It looks like the inauguration won't be going smoothly," Yu Jin said hatefully.
Yuhua nonchalantly said, "I've already guessed what's going on outside. I knew that Lang Shunye and Zanian were up to no good the moment they arrived."
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to let them continue messing around? "Yu Jin asked bitterly.
"Xia Fei interacted with Zanian during the Dragon Ascension Conclave, and he got to know Lang Shunye through Zanian. I already knew all of this, but I didn't think that Zanian and Lang Shunye would actually be willing to stand up for Xia Fei, leading these little bastards to tear down my venue," Yuhua said with a cold look in his eyes.
"But none of that matters. They're just angry that I put Xia Fei on the list of suspects, so let's just let them do whatever they want. In any case, there's no proof, and no one can do anything to us without proof."
Yu Jin sighed. "You really shouldn't have let Xia Fei escape back then."
Yuhua felt his ears hurt when he heard this. It was not that he had let Xia Fei escape, but that they had not been able to stop him at all!
"You didn't understand the situation back then, so there's no point in explaining it." Yuhua rolled his eyes at Yu Jin.
…
Yu Zhiyuan had learned his lesson from Yu Jin. He had barely said a few words when he invited Yuhua out, attempting to end this ridiculous farce as soon as possible.
Yuhua walked up to the stage with a smile. Surprisingly, no one booed him this time. The group of scions were all very quiet, turning their heads to look at Zanian and Lang Shunye. Seeing that neither of them had anything to say, they could only suppress their impatience and wait. After all, these two were the representatives of the high-class scions, and without their instructions, the scions would not dare to cause any more trouble.
Yu Hua made some small talk and greeted all the guests. Then, he began to praise his family's esteemed grandfather, Yu Jiang, praising him for being the most outstanding representative of the clan and for working hard for the sake of the clan's prosperity. Then, he changed the topic and talked about the Divine Beast, Green Dawn, who had loyally protected it and left with Patriarch Yu Jiang.
It was evident that Yuhua had prepared beforehand, knowing which words would move the hearts of the people the most.
Many scions who had received their patriarch's kindness were reminded of the past by Yuhua, and all of them began to cry. The atmosphere was extremely sorrowful, so much so that the scions who were up to no good could do anything about it, and they could only sullenly stand in the crowd.
Yuhua firmly declared, "The patriarch's blood feud must be avenged! Our Yu family must pull ourselves together, and I ask everyone to believe that I, Yuhua, am only taking up the position of patriarch to seek justice for my patriarch, to comfort his soul in heaven! Once the murderer is caught and the clan selects a suitable person to be the patriarch, I, Yuhua, will immediately abdicate! "
These words were spoken with awe-inspiring righteousness, but Yuhua already had his own plans. It was not easy for him to obtain the position of patriarch, so Yuhua was naturally not going to give it up.
He had already discussed it with the person behind him. The moment Yuhua took up the position, he would immediately investigate the cause of patriarch Yujiang's death, and the power behind him had already prepared a scapegoat and evidence. When the time came, Yuhua would catch the scapegoat and insist that Xia Fei was an accomplice, then commit suicide to prove Xia Fei's crime!
If that was the case, Xia Fei would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Even if he had any evidence in his hands, the big shot behind him would have already thought of a countermeasure. Xia Fei was ultimately just a nobody in the Law Realm, and he would not be able to make a single ripple in front of those massive powers!
Truth be told, Yuhua had put a bounty of one million grade 4 Origin Crystals on Xia Fei's head precisely because he was afraid that Xia Fei would speak carelessly. Xia Fei's disappearance had a numbing effect, and Yuhua believed that Xia Fei did not have any evidence on hand, which was why he had decided to hide. After all, Xia Fei had suffered serious injuries at the time, and his armor was somewhat damaged, so it was questionable whether or not he could even use the cameras.
Unfortunately, Yuhua had no idea how sinister Xia Fei was. Evidence was most effective only when it was brought out at the most critical moment!
Impassioned!
Yuhua's face was flushed red as he described the future development of the Yu family. Everyone was excited, and cheers could be heard from both inside and outside the ancestral hall, believing that Yuhua would be an excellent leader.
All of a sudden!
Just when Yuhua was at his most gleeful, Xia Fei's long-planned face-slapping plan began!
Over a dozen screens silently appeared, and even the large screen outside the ancestral hall suddenly switched its image.
On the screen was the tragedy that had occurred on Snake Isle that day!
They saw Xia Fei and patriarch Yujiang working together to fend off the enemy, and the tragic death of the Divine Beast Green Dawn caused everyone present to feel a heart-wrenching pain!
Everyone was stunned. No one had thought that they would see firsthand information on Yuhua's inauguration ceremony today!
Mu Fuping's nose turned sour, and she was on the verge of tears. Xia Fei held a very important place in her heart, and seeing how Xia Fei had tried so hard to protect patriarch Yujiang only to be framed as an accomplice, Mu Fuping felt like a knife was being twisted in her heart.
Lang Shunye stomped his feet in anger, loudly shouting, "I already said that Brother Xia Fei was wrongly accused! This Yu family is too dark! "
Zanian's eyes were filled with shock. When Xia Fei went all out, the combat strength he displayed was far stronger than what he had displayed during the Dragon Ascension Conclave. He instantly understood what was going on and decided to show this video to Busey and his father.
The members of the Yu family were practically crying. The battle shown on the screen was just too tragic. The Divine Beast Green Dawn had not hesitated to self-destruct to help Xia Fei and patriarch Yujiang escape, a testament to its loyalty. Xia Fei and the others had fought against many, and they had tangled with a powerful enemy, which made the blood of the warriors of the Yu family boil. They could only hate that they were not there, unable to protect their patriarch, unable to fight alongside Xia Fei.
In short, the moment this video was broadcasted, the Yu family's ancestral hall immediately erupted!
It was obvious that the one who had betrayed the patriarch was not Xia Fei, but who could it be?
The video had been edited. From the beginning, they only saw Xia Fei, Yujiang, Yuguding, and the Divine Beast Green Dawn struggling to fend off the enemy, but there was no sign of the enemy. The occasional black-clothed man who appeared was also completely wrapped up, making it impossible to see what he looked like.
Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the scene suddenly changed!
All they saw was Xia Fei crawling out of the crater with great difficulty, his eyes fierce as he spat out half an ear from his mouth, growling, "Even if I can't kill you, I'll bite you to death!"
The camera's angle changed again, and Yuhua appeared in front of everyone with one hand covering his ear, an ashamed look on his face. Behind him were the black-clothed men who were the patriarch of the Bloodthirsty Family, Yujiang!
The situation could not be any more obvious. The one who had plotted against patriarch Yujiang was none other than Yuhua! The person who was about to take over as patriarch!
This was the greatest irony!
The true culprit who had plotted to kill the patriarch had been unanimously elected as the new patriarch, while Xia Fei, who had done everything he could to protect the patriarch, had become an accomplice!
What a good move, Stealing the Sky and Switching the Sun! Reversing Yin and Yang!
Countless pairs of angry eyes turned toward the stage, but where was Yuhua's shadow?! The moment he saw that the situation was not good, he had already run away!
"Goddammit! I'm so angry! Brothers, let's go! Let's destroy the Yu family and help Brother Xia Fei vent his anger! "Lang Shunye yelled.
All the scions had long been suppressing their anger, and they all began to search for the culprit, Yuhua.
Mu Fuping clenched her fists and came to Lang Shunye and Zanian's side, asking in a deep voice, "The truth is now clear. Where is Big Brother Xia Fei?"
Zanian shook his head with a grave expression. "It's not that simple. This video has been edited, and it's obvious that Xia Fei had some misgivings, purposely hiding some of the people in the video, but why would he do such a thing?"
Everyone shook their heads, expressing their confusion.
