Chapter Ninety-Seven: Losing the Elixir
After studying for a long time, they still didn't come up with anything. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Master, it seems that it is impossible to see anything from this fragment alone," Xiaobai was a little discouraged, "After reading it for a long time, we still don't know what to do." β
"Forget it, since you can't see it, then don't force it." Murong Qianyan put away the fragment of the map, and then said with a smile, "Only this fragment is naturally impossible to know." It seems that all the fragments must be collected in order to find the existence of the Netherfire. β
"That's all it can be." Xiaobai nodded.
"By the way, Xiaobai, we found the Nether Ghost Fire, what can we do?" Murong Qianyan suddenly asked, "Now that I've subdued the Yan of the Earth's Heart, I can't subdue the Nether Ghost Fire anymore?" β
Being able to subdue a divine fire is already a rare thing. Originally, it was not easy to subdue the alien fire, let alone the divine fire, if you were not careful, it was very likely that you would not even be killed. The last time she subdued the Yan of the Earth's Heart, if she didn't die because of Huang Fu Jue's help, maybe she would have been burned to the point that there was no slag left at this moment.
"Master, if you are an ordinary person, there is indeed no way to subdue the two kinds of divine fire, but you are different!" Xiao Bai said excitedly, "Ordinary people can only accept one kind of divine fire, because if they have two divine fires in their bodies, they are afraid that it will cause an imbalance in their bodies, and when the two flames fight in their bodies, their flesh and blood will not be able to stand it at all." β
"But, master, you already have the Flame of the Earth's Heart in your body. If you really find another divine fire, what you have to do is not to subdue it, but to devour it directly. β
"Devouring?" Hearing Xiaobai's words, Murong was shocked, "How is this possible?" β
"It's true that other flames can't do this, but the Flame of the Earth's Heart is different." Xiao Bai opened his mouth and explained, "The reason why the Yan of the Center of the Earth can rank first in the Divine Fire List is not only because of its power, but also because it is the strongest, and that is its devouring nature. β
"When the earth rises, all the fires are extinguished. The Flame of the Earth's Center can devour other divine fires. After devouring other divine fires, the power of the Earth Core Yan will become more powerful, and it will also be able to possess the characteristics of other divine fires. β
"Devouring the Divine Fire shouldn't be an easy task!" After hearing Xiao Bai's words, Murong Tianyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes.
"Well, it's not an easy thing to do." Xiao Bai nodded, "The reason why the Divine Fire will be called the Divine Fire is because the Divine Fire is born of heaven and earth, and it already has its own confused spiritual intelligence. If you want to devour the Divine Fire, you must burn all the spiritual wisdom of the Divine Fire, otherwise, you will only burn yourself. β
"That's why I say that only the master can do this. Because master, you have not only subdued the Yan of the Center of the Earth now, but also integrated it into your body. The Yan of the Center of the Earth can incinerate the spiritual wisdom of all divine fires, so only the Yan of the Center of the Earth has the means to devour other divine fires. β
"Of course, the devouring of the divine fire is not an easy task. If you are not careful, you may not even be able to die. So, master, I'm just suggesting that it's up to you to take the risk or not. β
After hearing Xiaobai's words, Murong fell into deep thought. After a moment, she raised a confident smile, "How could I miss such a good thing?" Now that I have subdued the Yan of the Earth's Center, other divine fires are naturally okay. β
"Master, I knew you were the best."
"Well, everything depends on chance." Murong said with a smile, "It's already a rare thing to be able to encounter a divine fire. Although we now have this map fragment, it is not easy to find the Netherfire. β
"Hmm." Hearing Murong Qianyan's words, Xiao Bai didn't continue to say anything.
Murong Tianyan put away the map fragment, and then planted the medicinal herbs he had photographed earlier. Previously, she had auctioned two medicinal herbs at the auction, both of which were not available in the space.
After doing everything, Murong returned to the cabin, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate. Previously, because of the Yan of the Earth's Heart, she had advanced several levels in a row. What she had to do now was to stabilize her cultivation as soon as possible.
On the other side, Murong Xiong, who did not photograph Zhuji Dan, also returned to the Murong family, but his face looked ugly.
As soon as he returned to the Murong family, Murong Xiong summoned the elders of the Murong family and told all about what happened at the auction today. Of course, the most important thing is that the ten Tsukidans have all been bought by Nangong Tingli.
In the Chamber -
Murong Xiong sat on top of the main guard, and the look on his face was definitely not good-looking. Obviously, his mood for not being able to get Tsukidan still hasn't recovered.
"Master of the family, how come this Tsukidan didn't buy one?" The first to speak was Murong Rui, the eldest elder of the Murong family, according to his seniority, he could be regarded as Murong Xiong's uncle, "Didn't you say that there are ten so many?" β
As the highest-ranking elder of the Murong family and the eldest elder of the Murong family, Murong Rui has a pivotal position in the Murong family. Therefore, even when facing Murong Xiong, the head of the family, he is still very confident.
"Although there are ten Tsukidans, but-" As soon as he talked about this matter, Murong Xiong's face sank, "I don't know what happened to the auctioneer, who actually bundled the ten Tsukidans together for auction." β
"How so?" Third Elder Murong Li frowned, "So now all the Zhuji Dan has been bought by the Nangong family, right?" β
"That's right." Murong Xiong nodded, "Over the years, the momentum of the Nangong family has been too great, and now he has also taken ten foundation building pills, if the Murong family has ten more powerhouses in the foundation building period, it will definitely not be a good thing for our Murong family." β
"Now that it's like this, there's no objection to anything else." Second Elder Murong Xin touched his beard, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "What we have to do now is to see if there is any other way." β
"Second brother, do you have any ideas?" Murong Rui immediately asked, "If there is a way, then say it." β
"Actually, we don't need to overcomplicate things." A glimmer of light flashed in Murong Xin's small eyes, "The auction price of these ten Zhuji Dan is so high, it directly asks for 100 million gold coins from the Nangong family." Although it is said that this 100 million gold coins will not hurt the foundation of the Nangong family, it is always a fact that it hurts the muscles and bones! β
"Second Elder, what do you meanβ" Murong Xiong seemed to understand what Murong Xin meant.
"That's right, I mean, at this time, we can come to the door and go and make a deal directly with the Nangong family." Murong Xin nodded and continued to speak, "Our Murong family and the Nangong family originally had a marriage contract, and now that the Nangong family has taken ten Zhuji Dan, we don't want all of them. β
"Even if he's willing to even one or two of them, that's pretty good. Our Murong family's treasure house also has a lot of good things in it. It's so hurtful to trade money, but exchanging gifts, it's different. β
"That's right, that's an idea." Murong Rui nodded, very agreeable.
After thinking about it for a while, Murong Xiong also felt that this was a good way, so he immediately called Lin Guangxiong and commanded,
"Steward Lin, I remember that there are five third-grade bone shaping pills in the warehouse, you go and take out two of them now."
Now that I think about it, only the Bone Sculpting Pill is the best. This and the Bone Shaping Pill and the Zhuji Pill are both three-grade pills, and they will not refuse if they want to come to the Nangong Court.
Regarding Murong Xiong's decision, the other three elders also had no opinion.
"This family meeting, it is clear that our Murong family won, but even if we win the title of the first family, there is still no way to compare to the Nangong family." Murong Rui couldn't help but sigh, "Obviously, we are the first family, but in the end, we have to look at the face of the Nangong family." β
"Speaking of which, it's also because Murong Tanyan's heart is not on the Murong family at all." Murong Li let out a long sigh, "No one thought that this Murong Qianyan would have been hiding his strength all along. If he hadn't treated Murong Qianyan like this before, then now Murong Qianyan would definitely be able to become a big help to the Murong family. β
Hearing the mention of Murong Qianyan, Murong Xiong's face suddenly sank. He hadn't forgotten Murong Tanyan's rudeness to him.
Murong Li also seemed to know that he had said the wrong thing, so he didn't continue. The relationship between Murong Xiong and Murong Qianyan is not good. Now it is almost an open secret of the entire Murong family, although he is the elder of the Murong family, but it is not easy to express any opinions on this matter.
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall became a little solemn.
"Head of the family, something is wrong."
At this moment, a hurried voice broke the stagnant atmosphere of the hall. As the voice came, a figure hurried in. The person who came was Lin Guangxiong, who had just been ordered to get the Bone Shaping Pill.
"Lin Guangxiong, do you know where you are standing now?" Murong Xiong, who was not in a very good mood, opened his mouth and scolded after seeing Lin Guangxiong's behavior of shouting like this, "Is this also a place where you can shout?" If you don't even understand the rules, then you are not qualified for the position of butler. β
As soon as he heard Murong Xiong's words, Lin Guangxiong was scared, and he hurriedly explained, "Family master, the subordinates didn't mean it, but something really serious happened. β
"What the hell is going on?" Murong Xiong said angrily, "I can make you a housekeeper, and I don't have any rules at all." Also, didn't I tell you to get the Bone Shaping Pill? Did you get it? β
"Family Master, this is what the subordinates will report next," Lin Guangxiong hurriedly said, "When the subordinates went to the treasure house just now to get the Bone Shaping Pill, they found that there was a box in it that seemed to have traces of passing. The subordinates immediately stepped forward to check and found that one of the bottles of pills was missing. β
"Lost the elixir?" Hearing the news, although Murong Xiong was angry in his heart, he still kept his face calm, "What kind of pill did you lose?" β
Not only Murong Xiong, but the other three elders also shifted their attention to Lin Guangxiong. You know, losing something in the family treasury is not a trivial matter. Especially in terms of pills, all the pills in the family are placed in the treasure house.
Normally, the high-grade pills refined by the alchemists in the family, or the high-grade pills collected outside, were all placed in the treasure house. The pills in the Murong family pharmacy are just some low-level pills.
Hearing Murong Xiong's inquiry, Lin Guangxiong shrank his shoulders, gritted his teeth, and said, "If you go home, you will lose ...... What's missing is ...... What is missing is the Restoration Pill. β
"What! Restoration Dan! Murong Xiong was almost about to jump up, his face suddenly sank, and his face was full of hidden anger, "Have you checked it clearly, what you lost is really the Recovery Pill?" β
"Even if you give your subordinates ten guts, your subordinates won't dare to deceive the head of the family!" Lin Guangxiong's waist bent even more, and his head was completely lowered, "My subordinates have checked it several times, and what I lost is the Recovery Pill." β
"Good, good." Murong Xiong laughed angrily, "There are people who are so short-sighted and steal everything from my Murong family." It seems that I am still too kind on weekdays, and now I am bullied to the head. β
"Please calm down, head of the house." Murong Rui spoke, "The most important thing now is to find out who stole things, and I don't think it's very likely that outsiders will commit crimes." β
"What the Great Elder means is that this crime is committed by someone from our Murong family?" Murong Xiong tried to suppress the anger in his heart, "There are really people who are so bold and dare to steal things to the treasure house. β
"The Murong family's precautions are still very strict, and it is not easy for ordinary people to come in." Murong Rui opened his mouth and analyzed, "Not to mention going to the treasure house to steal something, it is even more impossible to do it without knowing it." β
"It seems that this is a case done by a thief." Murong Xiong slapped the table hard, "I want to take a good look at who it is, who is so bold and dares to steal the pill." β
After speaking, Murong Xiong looked at Lin Guangxiong and commanded, "Check, check it for me right now." β
Seeing Murong Xiong's angry appearance, Lin Guangxiong didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately retreated, and then asked people to track down the theft of the warehouse.
Soon, the treasury was stolen and the pill was stolen spread in the Murong family. For a while, everyone in the Murong family began to be frightened, for fear that it would involve them.
Murong Tianxue naturally heard the news. After hearing the news, although her face was calm, she had already set off a storm in her heart. She had no idea that things would erupt so early.
After getting the news, she didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately returned to her courtyard, and then immediately walked towards Liu Mei's room.
"Cher, why did you come back so early today?" Seeing Murong Tianxue come back, Liu Mei put down the dress she was making in her hand and stepped forward with a smile, "However, you came back just in time, I am making a dress for you, it is almost ready, you can try it later." β
Unlike Liu Mei's full smile, Murong Tianxue didn't have any smile since she entered the door. She waved her hand and commanded, "You all go down." β
Although he didn't know what was going on, after hearing Murong Tianxue's order, all the maids who were waiting in the room retreated.
"Cher, what's wrong with you?" Seeing such a situation, Liu Mei realized that something was wrong, especially when she saw that Murong Tianxue's face suddenly sank, she was even more worried, "Did something appropriate happen?" I remember that you went to Nangong's house today. Did Nangong Ye tell you something? Or has something happened to your marriage? β
"I'm fine." Murong Tianxue shook her head and sat down with Liu Mei, "Brother Ye and I are also very good. There is no change in our marriage. But now something big is happening in the family. β
"Something is wrong?" Hearing Murong Tianxue's words, Liu Mei was stunned for a moment, "I stayed in the mansion all day today, and I didn't hear anything big?" Cher, look at your flustered appearance, what's going on? β
"Let me ask you, when you headed the Restoration Pill, did no one really know about it?" Murong Tianxue frowned, and asked with a solemn face, "Is there someone to help you?" Who is that person? β
Murong Tianxue's face was already full of worry at this time, and she knew best about her mother's strength. The strength of the mother's relatives is so weak, she hasn't even reached the foundation building period, how can she steal the recovery pill alone! There must be someone helping her, who is this person who is helping her? Is he reliable? These things are important.
"Why did you suddenly ask about this!" When she heard Murong Tianxue ask if someone was helping, Liu Mei's eyes flickered, "Didn't I tell you?" No one will find out about it. β
"Now it is, but it's been discovered." Murong Tianxue said angrily, "Do you know that this matter has now been known to my grandfather, and my grandfather has ordered a thorough investigation into this matter." If you find out, do you know what the consequences will be? β
"Already known?" Hearing Murong Tianxue's words, Liu Mei was stunned, "You mean, the head of the family already knows about the theft of the Recovery Pill." β
"That's right." Murong Tianxue nodded, and immediately asked, "So, you must tell me now who helped you steal the pill." I'm going to see if this person is reliable. If it's not reliable, we'll have to figure it out sooner. β
Liu Mei hadn't told her before, and she didn't ask. In the end, there is still a trace of luck in her heart, maybe she will not be discovered at all. Especially on the side of the treasure house, no one will visit it for a long time, and it is impossible to be discovered so easily.
When the time comes, even if it is discovered, there will be absolutely no clues. However, she didn't expect it at all, it was only a few days, and the theft of the Restoration Pill had already been discovered, and now for this matter, the entire Murong family was panicked.
As soon as she heard this, the first thing she thought of was to come back quickly and discuss countermeasures with Liu Mei.
"Leave this matter alone." Compared with Murong Tianxue's anxiety, Liu Mei was much calmer, "In short, that person will not betray us." Moreover, I told you before that even if this matter really broke out, it would not find out about us. β
Murong Tianxue didn't know where Liu Mei's confidence came from. She had no way to calm down at all, "Mother, who is it?" You have to tell me, or I really won't be able to reassure. Do you know how serious this is? β
"I know how serious things are, so I'm not worried at all." Liu Mei smiled and shook his head, "Since I dared to steal this Restoration Pill in the first place, I had a way to disappoint myself. Cher, don't think too much about it. What you were like before, you just have to continue to be like after that. β
"In the past few days, you should continue to go to the Nangong family to visit Nangong Ye, as usual, don't change anything, I promise, no one will suspect you."
Looking at Liu Mei's sworn appearance, Murong Tianxue was also skeptical, "Is what you said true?" Is it really going to be okay? Who is that person? Worthy of your trust. β
"Cher, I won't hurt you." Liu Mei patted Murong Tianxue's shoulder and continued to speak, "Do you think I don't know how serious this is?" Didn't I say that before? Even if it is really found out, there will be people who will be substituted for the dead ghosts. You just have to put a hundred and twenty hearts. β
Hearing Liu Mei's words, Murong Tianxue still couldn't put his mind at ease. But since Liu Mei didn't say it, she had no way to force it. All she can do now is to do what Liu Mei said, as usual, and just don't have any changes.
On the other side, after hearing this, Murong Tianyan just hooked his lips and smiled, and he didn't even say a word.
She didn't have any excessive feelings for the Murong family, and the theft of the Murong family had nothing to do with her. To put it mildly, even if the Murong family is stolen, she won't care. Those things wouldn't have been used on her anyway.
However, she was quite curious, that is, who had the courage to dare to steal something from the Murong family's treasure house!
At this time, Murong Qianyan didn't expect that this matter would be implicated in her in the end. Many times, many things, it's not that you don't want to pay attention to them, they won't involve you.
On this day, after lunch, Murong Qianyan was planning to return to the space to cultivate. It's just that before she entered the space, she saw that the door of her room had been rudely pushed open. To be precise, it was actually kicked out.
Looking up, Murong Tianyan's face suddenly sank, "Steward Lin, it's really so majestic!" β
That's right, the person who came was Lin Guangxiong, the housekeeper of the Murong family. Because of Lin Weiwei's incident before, she and Lin Guangxiong have already formed a relationship. However, she later won a big victory at the family conference, although she was not able to improve her status in the Murong family. But the rest of the Murong family, in front of her, didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
"Miss, the head of the family is invited."
In the past, Lin Guangxiong would have to weigh it when he faced Murong Qianyan, but this time, it was the order of the head of the family himself, so he naturally had nothing to scruple about.
The comers are not good.
Seeing Lin Guangxiong's appearance, these four words surged in Murong Qianyan's heart. Although Lin Guangxiong tried his best to suppress it, he could still vaguely see the smugness hidden on his face.
Although he knew that nothing good would happen, Murong Tianyan still followed Lin Guangxiong to the hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, Murong Qianyan's heart couldn't help but think of four words, that is, the three halls of trial.
Murong Xiong sat on the throne, and the expression on his face was darker than ink. The three elders, who rarely appear in ordinary times, were all present. Of course, Murong Xiong's other two sons, that is, Murong Qianyan's eldest uncle Murong Xili and second uncle Murong Xiyi both came to the scene.
Seeing such a situation, although Murong Qianyan didn't know what was going on, he also knew that it would definitely not be a good thing.
"Evil obstacles, don't kneel yet." As soon as he saw Murong tilting his face, Murong Xiong was furious, he slapped the table hard, and shouted loudly.
In the face of Murong Xiong's anger, everyone shrank for a moment. Even if you know that the anger is not on your own, it can still make people feel afraid.
Only Murong Qianyan, the expression on her face did not change at all, even in the face of Murong Xiong's monstrous anger, she was still calm and calm, "Lord of the family, even if you have to be sentenced, you have to let me know what crime I have committed!" As for the title of evil obstacle, then I dare not take it even more. If I am an obstacle to sin, then what are you, my grandfather? β
"Murong is fascinated!" Hearing this, the anger in Murong Xiong's heart became even worse, "What did you do yourself, don't you know yourself?" Originally, I thought you were just disobedient and untamable, but I didn't expect you to be so bold that you would even do such a thing as theft. β
For Murong Qianyan, Murong Xiong is now disgusted in his heart. Even though Murong Tianxue won the family conference and brought supreme glory to the Murong family, he still had no way to like Murong Tianyan. Facts have also proved that even if Murong Qianyan is no longer a waste now, and his talent is extremely high, it is of no use. Because she will not be used by the Murong family.
A genius who can't be used by the family is not considered a genius. Therefore, for Murong Qianyan, he did not attract too much.
It's just that he never thought that Murong Qianyan would dare to act so boldly and recklessly and directly steal the things in the treasure house.
Before the recovery pill was stolen, he asked people to investigate, and in the end, all the clues pointed to Murong Qianyan. When he learned the news, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed. At that time, if Murong Qianyan was in front of him, he would definitely not hesitate to slap this evil obstacle to death with one palm.
"Theft?" Hearing her accusation, Murong Tianyan's eyes sank, and she immediately remembered a major event that had happened in the Murong family recently.
Recovery Pill stolen.
"Murong Qianyan, your courage is too great." Murong Rui, who was sitting a little below Murong Xiong, sighed, and then spoke, "You actually dare to steal the things in the family treasury, do you know what kind of crime this is!" β
Unlike Murong Xiong, Murong Rui is a person who loves talents. Even if he knew that Murong Tianyan's mind was not on the Murong family, he still cherished this genius very much.
"I didn't." Hearing such a charge, Murong Qianyan was not in a hurry, she just said lightly, "If you are talking about the theft of the Restoration Pill this time." Then I can only say that this matter has nothing to do with me at all. β
"You still dare to quibble." Hearing Murong Yanyan's confession, Murong Xiong became even more angry, "Now that the matter has been conclusively proven, all the clues have shown that it is the recovery pill you stole from you." Let me tell you, where is the Restoration Pill now? β
Although he knew that it was very likely that he would not be able to get it back, Murong Xiong still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping to find Yuan Dan.
You must know that this is not an ordinary elixir, this is a five-grade recovery pill. The five-grade pill was originally rare, let alone the recovery pill. No matter how many injuries you have, as long as you have the Recovery Pill, you will definitely recover, and you won't even leave any sequelae.
Such a life-saving elixir is the treasure of the Murong family, just in case of emergency.
"What kind of recovery pill, I haven't even seen it." The expression on Murong Tianyan's face still didn't change at all, she stood there, like a pine and cypress in Jianting, and never bowed her head, "This incident has nothing to do with me at all." β
"Ridiculous," Murong Xiong obviously couldn't believe such words, "Murong Qianyan, even if you quibble now, it's useless." Confess and be mad, and resist strictly. If the Recovery Pill is still there now, as long as you are willing to hand it over, you can still drop it lightly. Otherwiseβ"
"I've already said it, I didn't take it." Murong Tanyan's tone also became a little cold, "Don't believe it, whatever you want, I don't care at all." Besides, this Restoration Pill is of no use to me at all. I won't take risks for a useless elixir. β
Hearing Murong Tanyan's words, several people present were stunned for a moment, and suddenly fell into deep thought. Indeed, although this recovery pill is a life-saving pill, under normal circumstances, such an elixir is useless at all. It is better to steal the Restoration Pill than to steal the other pills inside.
However, at this moment, a voice broke everyone's contemplation.
"Who knows about such a thing!" It was Murong Xiyi who spoke, although he was sitting on the chair, but the whole person looked hanging, "Some time ago, you fought against Nangong Ye, and you should have suffered a lot of injuries!" Now your wounds should have healed! β
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions when they looked at Murong changed suddenly.
When he was at the family conference before, the competition between Murong Tianyan and Nangong Ye was seen by everyone. At that time, Murong Tianyan was seriously injured. Although later, at the most critical time, it suddenly advanced. However, even if you advance, the injuries in your body cannot be healed all at once.
But now looking at Murong Qianyan's brisk steps, ruddy face, and smooth breathing, there was no sign of injury at all.
Injured so badly, it's only ten days before the family conference. Coupled with Murong Qianyan's status in the family, it was impossible to get the healing elixir at all. But now the injuries on Murong Qianyan's body are obviously completely healed.
"Murong Qianyan, things have come to this point, what else do you have to say." Murong Xiong has now made a judgment in his heart, "You evil obstacle, you are so bold and reckless, stealing the family elixir. Today, I will never spare you. β
"I've already said it, I didn't do it." Murong glanced at the angry Murong Xiong indifferently, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile, "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse." Could it be that because my injuries have healed, it means that I stole the Recovery Pill? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by outsiders when you go out with such a theory? β
"Murong Qianyan, do you think that quibbling can clear your name?" Murong Xiong directly picked up a piece of jade pendant on the table and threw it directly in front of Murong Qianyan, "Take a good look at it yourself, what is this!" β
Looking at the jade pendant thrown towards him, Murong squatted down and picked it up, but found that it was very familiar. Soon, she remembered what was going on with the jade pendant in front of her.
When everyone in the Murong family is born, they will make a jade pendant, and the name is engraved on the jade pendant, which represents identity. When Murong Tianyan was born, he naturally had such a jade pendant.
Murong Qianyan turned the jade pendant over, and sure enough, he saw the words "Qianyan" on the back of the jade pendant. This shows that this is a jade pendant that represents her identity.
"That's what you found in the treasure trove." Murong Xiong looked at Murong Qianyan and said with a sneer, "Now you shouldn't say it." This jade pendant walked into the treasure house with its own long feet! β
"This is my jade pendant." For this, Murong Tianyan did not deny it, however, "My jade pendant has long been lost. β
"Murong poured face, so far, you still dare to quibble." Murong Xiong didn't believe this statement at all, "This is the jade pendant that represents your identity, since it's gone, then why haven't I heard you report it!" Now you say that the jade pendant is lost, can there be such a coincidence in this world? β
"Whether you believe it or not, in short, I didn't steal the Recovery Pill." Murong tilted his face coldly, with a hint of disdain on his expression, "I don't like this Restoration Pill at all. β
Hearing Murong Qianyan's unashamed words, everyone present gasped.
"It's really a big breath!" Murong Xiyi opened his mouth and said sarcastically, "You can't even look down on the five-grade elixir, who do you think you are!" Murong poured face, no matter how much you said, it was useless. Even if you say it wildly, it won't change the fact that you are stealing. β
Murong Qianyan glanced in the direction of Murong Xiyi, and a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes. I don't know why, she always feels that her titular second uncle seems to have been targeting her today. In her memory, she didn't even say a few words between her and this second uncle, so it shouldn't be possible to have any grievances!
"Alright, shut up." Murong Xiong directly swept all the cups on the table to the ground, which showed how angry he was at this matter, "Murong Qianyan, no matter what you say, there is no way to change the facts, that is, you stole the family's treasure." If you do, you will be punished. β
"It seems that the head of the family insists on putting this charge on me today!" Murong smiled coldly, "However, what if I keep not admitting my guilt?" β
"It's obvious that even if you don't admit your guilt, you won't change anything." Murong Xiong's cold words did not contain a trace of emotion, as if it was not his granddaughter in front of him at all.
"Then I don't know how the head of the family plans to punish me?" Murong tilted his shoulders and didn't look in a hurry at all.
"Since the Restoration Pill has already been taken by you, then you should hand over the Xuan-level Spirit Treasure that you won at the family conference!" A gleam flashed in Murong Xiong's eyes, "Just use that as compensation." Then I can spare your life. Of course, if you commit such a serious crime, the Murong family will not be able to tolerate you, and you will be expelled from the Murong family. And the mystical power in your body will also be abolished completely. β
When the words fell, none of the people in the hall spoke, let alone pleaded for Murong. Obviously, everyone acquiesced in their hearts to such a treatment. Even Murong Rui, who cherished his talents, only opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything.
