It's Him
Silence.
Everyone frowned and looked at each other. Xia Yingda glared viciously at Xia Yingqiu.
On their way here, Xia Yingqiu had sought him out and asked him to put in a few words for them. When he'd asked who it was, his little brother had mysteriously told him …..
It'll definitely be a pleasant surprise.
"What a pleasant surprise."
Xia Yingda furrowed his brows as he looked at the man on the ground. Even though he'd already imagined ten thousand possibilities, he still couldn't quite wrap his head around it.
The third great-grandfather's eldest son, their generation's eldest granduncle.
He glared at Xia Yingqiu, then realized …..
This kid ….
Was he winking at him?
"Go on, didn't I say I'd let you speak up for me?"
From Xia Yingqiu's expression, he could tell what his little brother wanted to say.
Go on.
Was it really that easy?
How could juniors like them possibly comment on this sort of senior? Even if this senior really was colluding with demons, Xia Yingqiu had no right to say anything.
His gaze involuntarily landed on the old chief. Right now, the only person who was closest to the two elders was his father.
The old patriarch's current situation was not much better than theirs. When he saw the spy, his head buzzed.
His eldest uncle had once been in charge of the Dragon Race's punishments. Back then, he'd been the most impartial and impartial judge.
When he was young, he'd always been by his uncle's side. From a young age, he'd been instilled with countless ideas of loyalty to the Dragon Race.
But now …..
He couldn't panic.
The elders in the hall were already in a state of chaos. If he panicked too, it would truly be chaos.
Taking a deep breath, the Old Patriarch looked at the Third Great Grandfather.
"Third Great-grandfather, this is your son. This ….."
"You unfilial son."
The elder, who'd been sitting upright this entire time, suddenly raised his walking stick and viciously threw it at the kneeling figure.
At that moment, Xia Yingqiu, who'd been silent all this time, suddenly appeared in front of him and caught the walking stick.
"Great-grandfather, you can't just throw that walking stick around. If you don't have him, how are you going to escape? "
With a faint smile, he tossed the walking stick in his hand back. The walking stick landed on the ground and made a crisp sound. However, this crisp sound contained an indescribable meaning in the ears of everyone in the hall.
There was something wrong with this old man.
"Yingqiu, don't be rude!"
"I almost forgot, I'm a junior, haha ….." When he heard the clan head's rebuke, Xia Yingqiu laughed mischievously. "But great-grandfather, you're going a bit too far. The spiritual energy contained within that staff isn't as simple as anger, right? Cleaning up the family? Isn't this too much of a rush? My grandfather hasn't even said anything. Don't you believe that I'm slandering him? All of you are elders. Who would dare to say that you are not? "
"Little Yingqiu, I know you're suspecting me, your great-grandfather, and that's understandable. This is my son, anyone would suspect me. "
The Old Master narrowed his eyes and straightened his hunched body at this moment.
"But I, Xia Dong, have a clear conscience. This unfilial son of mine actually colluded with demons. It's my fault for not disciplining him properly. You're all juniors, so you can't do anything to this unfilial son. As his father, I can only clean up the family. "
"Wow, great-grandfather, your righteousness is truly a role model for us juniors," said Xia Yingqiu exaggeratedly.
Xia Yingqiu put on an exaggerated expression. "But there's no need for you to be in such a rush to clean up the clan, is there? My grand-uncle was our only breakthrough point. If you kill him, what will we do if someone else in the Dragon Race colludes with demons?"
"Hmph, it's already a misfortune for the Dragon Clan to produce such an unfilial son. Would someone else dare do something so rebellious? "snorted the old man.
"Who can say for sure? Maybe he's just senile and did it!"
As he spoke, Xia Yingqiu's expression became indescribably cold.
Everyone in the great hall frowned as they watched the scene unfold. The old man's expression also darkened.
"Who are you calling senile?"
"Everyone knows who I'm talking about. There's no need for me to point that out," said Xia Yingqiu, refusing to budge an inch.
The atmosphere grew heavy. Xia Yingda, who'd been pondering how to help his little brother the entire time, spoke up.
"Great-grandfather, this second brother of mine is a straightforward person. He doesn't think before he speaks, so please bear with him."
"Who ….." Just as Xia Yingqiu was about to speak, Xia Yingda glared viciously at him, indicating for him to shut up. "But what Yingqiu says makes sense. Right now, this grand-uncle is our only breakthrough point. Although the Dragon Clan is unyielding and unyielding, no one can guarantee that they'll be able to withstand temptation. You say you have a clear conscience, so what if we interrogate him? If it really has nothing to do with you, we can still prove your innocence. When the time comes, Yingqiu and I will kneel and apologize to you. How does that sound? "
"Hey, my eldest brother is right. If there really is nothing wrong, you can do whatever you want to me," said Xia Yingqiu.
"Third Grandfather, let's just ask," said the old clan head.
"That's right, Great-grandfather, let's just ask," said the other elders.
The general direction was already leaning toward Xia Yingqiu's side. Even if the old man wanted to take advantage of his seniority, it was useless.
"Hmph, then go ahead and interrogate me. I'm a bit tired and need to go back and rest. When the time comes, just tell me the results."
"Hey, you can't leave," said the old man. Just as the old man was about to leave, Xia Yingqiu stopped him. "Without you here, we won't have a senior to hold the fort. It'll be difficult to interrogate him. Besides, you were so energetic just now. Why are you suddenly so tired? Heh, I don't mean anything by it …. It's just that …. Why don't you stay a bit longer? "
"Xia Yingqiu!"
Shouted the old man, only to discover that no one was speaking up for him. Furthermore, from their gazes, he knew ….
He had to stay.
"Fine, I'll stay. Hmph, I refuse to believe that I'll have anything to do with it."
The old man sat down resentfully, then turned to the man on the ground. "Unfilial son, confess everything."
"Great-grandfather, Great-grandfather wants you to confess. Tell us everything you've told me."
Xia Yingqiu pressed his lips together into a smile, then crouched on the ground. The man kneeling on the ground raised his head. His gaze seemed to subconsciously glance at the Old Master.
The old man noticed his gaze and snorted, "What are you looking at me for?
"What are you looking at me for? Do you think I can save you after doing such a rebellious thing? Tell me everything you know. Who knows, I might even be able to save your life. "
"Right, right, right. Be honest," said Xia Yingqiu with a smile. "Remember, you must tell the truth. As someone who was once in charge of punishment, you should know the Dragon Race's rules. If you lie, it's no laughing matter. "
"I'll talk, I'll talk …."
Only at this moment did the person kneeling on the ground speak with a trembling voice. Soon after, he extended a finger towards the old patriarch and spoke to everyone in the hall.
