Against The Gods
Chapter 29 – Upheaval Round 8

The 66th courtyard was the courtyard where Xiao Lingxi lived. Everyone in the Xiao Clan knew him very well because of how easy it was to remember him. After hearing Xiao Jiu say “page 66”, the first thing they thought of was the owner of that page.

The crowd separated and isolated Xiao Lingxi's location, giving her no place to hide from everyone's eyes. Xiao Lie's expression changed greatly while Xiao Chei's brows furrowed. His expression suddenly became extremely bad as he stepped forward and stood in front of Xiao Lingxi. Waves of anger widened with a rumble in his chest.

Only when Xiao Jiu said the words of the “th page of the 66”, Xiao Che completely understood what suspicion was in his mind!

Before, there were too many people on the street, and they also stood relatively close. As a result, Xiao Kuangyun was unable to clearly show where Xiao Lingxi was. However, now, he could certainly see clearly. Instantly, his eyes shone and emitted a light similar to that of a wolf. This girl was not as beautiful as Xia Qingyue, but was still a young woman in every way. She has bright eyes and natural white teeth, attractive elegance, and a gentle, beautiful, and charming face. Especially her eyes which though currently full of panic and fear, were still like pools of sparkling springs, clear, transparent, and absolutely beautiful.

Xiao Kuangyun forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva as his heart trembled. Xiao Yulong did not lie to me! Although this Xiao Lingxi was slightly worse than Xia Qingyue, as far as she looked she was only slightly worse off. However, it feels like it will definitely be just as good. Also when she was an adult, she would not always be worse than Xia Qingyue .. After arriving at a secluded place like this, she would not always be worse off than Xia Qingyue, I unexpectedly met with what could be considered two world-class beauties. This is just a gift of heaven for my long and arduous journey!

Xiao Kuangyun originally refused to come to this Xiao Clan.But he was unable to defy his father's orders in the end and obediently came here.

“Xiao Lingxi ... how could you be ?!”

At the sight of Xiao Lingxi, Xiao Yunhai's first expression was shock, then shock, then finally disbelief.

“Not me! Clan Master ... it really isn't me! “Xiao Lingxi firmly shook her head, a look of fear was on her face. He actually had the thought of stealing the Profound Opening Powder last night, but after being caught by Xiao Lie, he obediently returned to his room and slept … He knew absolutely nothing about the theft of the Profound Opening Powder.

“Oh, I did not expect that the thief was a little girl.” Xiao Kuangyun said in an unreasonable style: “But I just said that no matter who it is, I will not let them go easily! “

“Ah! Xiao Lingxi, how could you ... act so deliberately and do this kind of reckless thing ?! This Profound Opening Powder Box is a treasure that the Xiao Sect brought thousands of li to give as a gift to us! With this, what can I ... possibly do? “Xiao Yunhai sighed heavily with an appearance of overwhelming sadness.

“Master Clan! I wasn't. I'm not the one who stole it! There must be...there must be a mistake somewhere! That's not really me! “Xiao Lingxi shook her head repeatedly, her entire face was already pale.

Xiao Kuangyun said in an angry and resolute voice: “This Profound Opening Powder Box is found under your pillow. If you didn't steal it, then did you say that it had wings and flew there? Young lady, I'm giving you the opportunity to admit your mistakes beforehand. And you didn't take it. Now that we have conclusive evidence as well as many people from outside the Xiao clan as witnesses, you still want to deny it? It seems like you wouldn't admit it if I didn't give you a heavy punishment! “

“Give a heavy penalty”, those four words caused Xiao Lingxi's entire body to falter. If not for Xiao Che immediately supporting her, she might have already fallen unconscious in the field. Xiao Che's hand clenched as the sound of*pop* rang out continuously from his finger. Xiao Kuangyun carefully watched him, for the first time since rebirth, he was emitting killing intent!

“Young Master Xiao, please calm down!” Xiao Yunhai immediately stepped forward and knelt down. He said pleading: “Xiao Lingxi stealing from the Xiao Sect is completely unforgivable, but. In the Xiao Clan, he was well-liked. The fact that he was about to steal the Profound Opening Powder also involved some complications .. “

“Complications? What complications? “Ask Xiao Kuangyun with a dark expression.

Xiao Yunhai used his eyes to show Xiao Lingxi and Xiao Che, who were standing together. She said with a regretful expression: “Xiao Lingxi is the only daughter of our fifth elder, and she has a niece named Xiao Che who is older than her by one year. This nephew of his had the unlucky fate of being born with a broken Profound vein.. With the broken Profound Vein, no matter how Xiao Che grew up in other areas, it was still the same as his ruined life. Xiao Lingxi deeply appreciated Xiao Che and was always looking for a way to recover his Profound Vein. This was something that everyone in the Xiao Clan and Floating Cloud City knew. Everyone here can prove that. The reason Xiao Lingxi would have the courage to steal this Profound Opening Powder was obviously because she heard that the Profound Opening Powder had the power to heal the Profound Vein. So, in order to save his nephew, he committed this reckless crime. “

“Although the crime has been committed, and the evidence is convincing without a doubt, I beg that Young Master Xiao be lenient towards his punishment due to the fact that our Xiao Lingxi is young and has a sincere heart. Our entire Xiao Clan will be grateful for the kindness of Master Xiao. “

Although Xiao Yunhai's body was low, every word he spoke was sincere. They strike directly into the heart, causing everyone to feel touched. His words also allowed those who did not understand how Xiao Lingxi had the courage to steal the Profound Opening Powder to suddenly realize. Worth it…

Everyone in Floating Cloud City knew that Xiao Che's Profound Vein had been broken from birth. The fact that Xiao Lingxi had always doted on him and was endlessly worried about the state of the Profound Vein was also something that everyone in the Xiao Clan knew. With this, the fact that Xiao Lingxi would steal the Profound Opening Powder was no longer for no reason, but rather made sense.

Only Xiao Che sneered angrily .. What a perfect performance! On the surface, he was begging for forgiveness for Xiao Lingxi's sake, but actually it was completely justifying the charges against him! If he was an outsider, it was possible that he would think that everything was done by Xiao Lingxi.

“It turns out there is a situation like this.” After listening to Xiao Yunhai's words, Xiao Kuangyun's expression clearly softened a little. He said lightly: “Hmph. I am not a cruel and merciless person. Since he made this mistake for the sake of his nephew, given this feeling, as long as he obediently admitted his mistake and apologized, I can still take care of it gently. “

“Not me! I didn't steal it! “Xiao Lingxi firmly shook her head. He gritted his teeth and shouted in a rather hoarse voice, “If I did, I would definitely confess ... But I really did not steal the Profound Opening Powder! I don't know why it appeared in my room .. There must have been some kind of mistake! Clan Master, please believe me. That's not really me! “

Xiao Lingxi shouted in this way not only did not move anyone, but instead had the opposite reaction due to Xiao Yunhai's confusion earlier … He was the one who had the most reason to steal the Profound Opening Powder and it was also found in his room. These facts can really determine the error. Xiao Yunhai asked for leniency on his behalf without regard for danger or his dignity was already very kind-hearted, yet he still would not admit it.

The expression of Xiao Kuangyun who had just softened once again darkened. He said while sneering, “Where is there an error? Our Xiao Sect has personally found this Profound Opening Powder in your room. Are you saying that the members of our Xiao Sect purposely trapped a young woman from this little Xiao Clan? “

Xiao Kuangyun said this sentence with great anger and confidence ..The great Xiao Sect will deliberately trap someone from the Xiao Clan, who doesn't even mean anything in their eyes? It would be a joke to anyone who heard it.

At this moment, the First Elder of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Li stood up. He pointed at Xiao Lingxi and said in a stern voice: “Xiao Lingxi! you made a huge mistake, and thus humiliated the entire Xiao Clan. The clan master is still personally asking for leeway on your behalf, and even Young Master Xiao is thinking of dealing with you lovingly. But you suddenly still didn't know a good thing when you saw it! you really... disappointed us! “

“Ah, more than disappointing, this is very heartbreaking.” Second Elder, Xiao Bo shook his head and said with a sad expression: “He will waste the sincere plea of the Clan Master to demand leniency .. Ah! Xiao Lingxi, what kind of existence is the Xiao Sect until they deliberately and wrongly accuse you? If you could change your attitude after making a mistake, it would be for the best. But you acting like this in front of our various friends from Floating Cloud City greatly humiliated us. “

“I ... you .. you ..” When I saw the merciless and cold gaze one after another, Xiao Lingxi's beautiful body trembled, and teardrops fell from her eyes. His mind was completely empty. He could not pronounce a complete sentence.

At this moment, Xiao Che squeezed his small hand with his. While standing beside her, she said in a warm voice and only she could hear it: “Little aunt, fear not, because it doesn't matter what you say now. It doesn't matter if they believe it or not. I'll always trust little auntie. Leave the rest to me. “

Leave the rest ... to me …

His profound strength was extremely weak and his body was also weak. He grew up under his protection constantly. Yet it was precisely this weak body that stood in front of him. When he said these few simple words, his panicked, helpless, and icy mind quickly and unexpectedly became peaceful and warm … It was as if they had gone back to their childhood, where, whenever he was bullied, he would always come from a distance to stand in front of him and use his hands, feet, hands, and his teeth as the fiercest weapon, preventing him from receiving even the smallest scratches …

Xiao Che ... He silently muttered in his heart.

“* Cough * *cough *..” Xiao Che stepped forward a few steps and faked a few coughs, attracting everyone's attention. He bowed slightly and said with a smile: “Young Master Xiao and the other three friends who traveled here from the distant Xiao Sect. Allow me to introduce myself .. I am Xiao Lingxi's nephew, Xiao Che. I have some questions I want to ask the clan master about the Profound Opening Powder that was Stolen and then found. There shouldn't be a problem with that, right? “

“Oh ... You are the trash in Floating Cloud City?” Xiao Kuangyun indifferently glanced at her and sneered in a dismissive tone: “You should not think of making excuses for your little aunt, should you? * chuckle*, that's okay, I really want to see what you can find with your question. “

“Che Er ..” Xiao Lie, whose aged face turned pale, gently said. The answer he got was Xiao Che's right hand behind his back, which indicated for him to be quiet.

“That's great!” Xiao Che nodded as his gaze turned towards Xiao Yunhai: “Master clan, I have some questions I would like to ask about the Profound Opening Powder.”.

Not waiting for Xiao Yunhai's answer, Xiao Che had already started asking: “First question ..Master Clan, Whether it is cultivation or your Profound or mental strength is very superior among our Xiao Clan. More than that, your temperament is stable and wise. Otherwise, you will not be able to become our Xiao clan Master. This matter, everyone in the Xiao Clan and even everyone in Floating Cloud City, all of them knew without exception. Then the question is with the cautious attitude of the Clan Master, after receiving the gift from the Xiao Sect, the best course of action is to keep it by your side, because only if it is on your side that it is the safest … But the Clan Master instead left him in the hospital, which could be said to be the most unsafe location. Can the Clan Master explain this? “
