Ying held his sword with both hands and knelt on the ground, as if he was facing death with equanimity.
He was once an orphan. If his Master had not taken him in, he would have died in a foreign land long ago. Now that he could repay his Master's kindness, he was more than willing.
At this moment, Master Xia's face was as gloomy as a dark cloud. He glared sharply at the kneeling man and shouted, "Are you certain that this was all your doing?"
"Yes."
Ying lowered his head and replied with a cold look in his eyes, "This has nothing to do with the Second Master. Ying is willing to accept his death!"
"Good, very good! Then I'd like to know what grudge you have with the Gu girl. As for why you want to kill her! "Master Xia fiercely flung his sleeves and spoke with an ashen face.
He knew that Xia Qi had something to do with this matter. But without evidence, as the Master of the family, it would be difficult for him to convict Xia Qi. Otherwise, he would incite public anger. He had disregarded the rules to protect Gu Ruoyun, which had already made many people unhappy.
It was a good thing that Gu Ruoyun was not the culprit. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable!
Ying narrowed his eyes, "I have no grudge against her. I have only been eyeing the Hundred Herb Hall for a long time and wanted it for myself. I did not expect Xia Ying to be so useless. She died too slowly. Otherwise, once she was dead, I would have plenty of ways to get the Hundred Herb Hall."
His words were reasonable. The pills in the Hundred Herb Hall were items that every powerful cultivator would covet. It was not impossible for Ying to have such thoughts.
However, because of Ying's actions, Elder Huiyi, who had almost wrongly accused Gu Ruoyun, was enraged. He fiercely flung his robes and a strong gust of wind flew towards the kneeling man.
Ying did not react and allowed the gust of wind to fling him away.
"Dog slave! You've actually done such a thing. Not only are you ambitious, you've also pushed the blame onto others and dragged your Master down. What's the use of having a dog slave like you? Let me kill you now. "
Seeing that Elder Huiyi was about to strike again, Master Xia hurriedly shouted, "Wait! There are many suspicious points in this matter, wait for me... "
Puchi!
The sound of a long sword piercing through a person's chest caused Master Xia's eyes to freeze. It was as if a ball of fire had exploded in his chest. His voice was as cold as ice, emitting a strong chill.
"Xia Qi, what are you doing?"
Xia Qi retracted the cold look in his eyes and slowly pulled out the sword that had pierced through his chest. He smiled calmly, "Eagle has offended his superiors. As a mere servant, he dared to harm a disciple of the Xia Family and even framed a guest of the Xia Family. He deserves to die a thousand times for his crimes! As his Master, I cannot forgive his transgressions. Please do not take it to heart, Lady Gu. The Xia Family has no ill intentions towards you. "
Master Xia was so angry that his old face turned ashen, "Did you not hear me when I told Elder Huiyi to stop?"
Hearing this, Xia Qi raised his eyes in astonishment, "I heard that. But father, didn't you say that to Elder Huiyi? I thought that you wanted me to deal with him personally so I did it. If I've done anything wrong, I'm willing to accept my punishment. I only ask that you not harm your health, father. "
Elder Huiyi looked at the enraged Master Xia and hurriedly spoke to mediate, "Master, since the main culprit is dead, let's put this matter behind us. The Second Master did not do it on purpose. Besides, because of Eagle's actions, not only did we wrongly accuse an innocent person, he almost harmed the Young Master. Anyone would be angry. The Second Master's actions were because he was too angry."
