"Lord Father, have you ever treated me as your son? Ever since we were young, you've always sided with Xia Zixi. Now, you're even trying to distinguish between right and wrong. Esteemed elders, do you believe that a person would help a stranger for no reason without asking for anything in return? From what I know, the Xia Family has never had anything to do with Gu Ruoyun. Why would she risk her life for the Xia Family? The reason is very simple. "
After a pause, Xia Qi laughed coldly, "That is because she doesn't care about the Xia Family's intentions. Besides, I've long heard that the Hundred Herb Hall's power is growing stronger and stronger. It's only natural that she would take a liking to the Xia Family."
Xia Zixi's words were like a heavy blow that fiercely struck the hearts of all the elders.
Even Master Xia's face turned ashen.
He was so angry that he could not speak. Besides, Master Xia could not comprehend the fact that Xia Qi knew about the existence of a Divine Beast behind the Xia Family. Furthermore, he had revealed it in front of so many people.
"Father, if you insist on shielding her, then you would be betraying the Xia Family. You cannot bear the consequences."
Xia Qi stared at Master Xia's furious old face and his voice gradually deepened, filled with a sinister chill. At this moment, he had shed his gentle and elegant appearance and his rather handsome face was now shrouded in a cold and gloomy light.
Gu Ruoyun's lips curled into a smile as she watched the farce unfolding before her. She leisurely sipped the tea in front of her and the smile on her face was unreadable.
Just then, a cold and gloomy voice pierced through the air, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
"Hehe, this honored one has come to pay a visit. Why is the Xia Family not welcoming me?"
The deep voice carried a faint chill, causing one's hair to stand on end. However, upon hearing this voice, Master Xia's expression changed completely. He stared fixedly at the old man who was descending from the sky and gritted his teeth, "The Poison Master! What is he doing here? "
Besides, Master Xia had clearly heard the old man address him as' this honored one '.
On this mainland, there was only one type of person who has the right to be addressed in this manner.
That was a Martial Honor!
Master Xia took a deep breath at the thought of this. He did not forget that the one who had nearly killed his precious son was the Poison Master's parasite dragon.
"Is that him?"
Xia Qi was stunned for a moment as he stared in astonishment at the wrinkled old face. His heart instantly tightened.
Even though they had not met for decades, he could still recognize the person in front of him at a glance. It was the person who had given him the poison to protect himself in return for saving his life.
Why would he appear in a place like this?
Involuntarily, Xia Qi turned towards Gu Ruoyun and laughed self-deprecatingly.
How was this possible?
She was indeed a genius but the Poison Master had already become a Martial Honor. No matter how powerful she was, how could she possibly invite a Martial Honor who could rule over the mainland?
Master Xia straightened his expression and asked, "I wonder what brings the Honorable Poison Master here today?"
As the saying goes, one does not visit a temple for no reason. He believed that the Honorable Poison Master's visit was not just for a simple visit.
"Hehe."
The Honorable Poison Master chuckled with a fake smile. His voice was low and hoarse and it sounded extremely uncomfortable.
"This honored one has come today to fulfill a promise I had once made."
As he spoke, he walked towards Gu Ruoyun under the watchful eyes of the crowd. His wrinkled face slowly broke into a smile. The smile was not obvious and looked forced but he was smiling.
