Gu Ruoyun curled the corners of her lips into a cold smile in the face of Long Yuan's threatening manner.
"You're framing me for murdering the Clan Leader. I wonder if you have any evidence?"
Evidence?
Honestly speaking, Long Yuan did not have any evidence on hand. If he had any, he would not be acting in this manner. He would probably ask the Dragon Clan's cultivators to capture Gu Ruoyun.
Hence, he was shocked when he heard Gu Ruoyun's words. He then laughed icily and said, "Long Yan had mentioned that you had touched the detoxifying herb. Aside from you humans, who else would do such a heartless thing? In order to avoid a war with you humans, the Dragon Clan has secluded themselves in the North Sea. I never thought that you would not spare us in the end. "
Long Yuan's voice trembled as he spoke. It was obvious that he thought that Gu Ruoyun was an accomplice of the Wen family.
"Grandfather!"
Long Ling 'er stomped her foot when she saw that her grandfather was going overboard with his words. She bit her lip and said, "The Wen family had ambushed us but it was Lady Gu who had saved Long Yan and me. We can't bite the hand that feeds us. If they were in cahoots with them, why would they save us?"
Long Yuan fell silent. After a long pause, he slowly replied, "If they can produce evidence to prove that they were not the ones who had turned the detoxifying herb into poison, I will believe them."
Even if Long Ling 'er was his granddaughter, he would not believe her. He would only think that Long Ling' er had been deceived.
Only evidence would convince him.
"You want evidence?" Gu Ruoyun curled the corners of her lips. "Sure, if I can cure the Clan Leader, that will be enough to prove everything!"
Cure the Clan Leader?
The crowd was shocked when they heard this as if they never thought that Gu Ruoyun would use this method to prove her innocence.
"Do you know what you're saying? You dare to say that you can cure the Clan Leader? Don't you know that the Clan Leader's original poison could only be cured with the detoxifying herb from Celestial Dragon Mountain? Now that you've replaced the detoxifying herb, the Clan Leader's condition has worsened. Not even the gods can save him. "
This time, without waiting for Long Yuan to speak, a white-haired elder spoke angrily. Even his tone was clearly agitated!
Gu Ruoyun ignored him and continued to stare at Long Yuan.
After such a long period of observation, she could tell that the only person in charge among the Dragon Clan elders was Elder Long Yuan.
He was Long Ling'er's grandfather.
"Grandfather," Long Ling'er panicked. Her delicate features were filled with anxiety as she said, "He's Lan Ge's friend. Lan Ge would never want to harm the Clan Leader. Perhaps his friend can save the Clan Leader?"
"That might not be the case."
Long Yan could not stand the sight of Long Ling 'er speaking up for Lan Ge the most. He scoffed icily, "Lan Ge has not been acknowledged by the Dragon Clan so he must harbor a grudge in his heart. Hence, he has a great motive to attack the Clan Leader."
"You …" Long Ling 'er clenched her fists tightly as she looked at Long Yan in disappointment. She was so angry that she could not even speak.
She had never imagined that Long Yan was such a person who could not tell right from wrong!
The Clan Leader was Lan Ge's maternal grandfather so how could Lan Ge possibly harm the Clan Leader?
"Alright, both of you, stop talking." Long Yuan stared coldly at Long Ling 'er and Long Yan before turning his gaze towards Gu Ruoyun. "I've never trusted humans. Hence, how can I trust you enough to place the Clan Leader's life in your hands?"
