Against The Gods
Chapter 31 – Seven Frozen Cloud Elves, Chu Yueli

No matter how big or small the courtyard was, the Xiao Clan had a total of about two hundred and thirty-three pages. The pages were all arranged irregularly and most looked the same. If we don't even mention the members of the Xiao Sect who came yesterday and only talk about the people who have stayed here for ten or even twenty days, then, in fact they will not always remember all the positions of the page, nor will they accurately connect them with their owners. That was why Xiao Che was certain that Xiao Jiu did not go to Xiao Lingxi's courtyard …. Even if he had purposely gone there to check it out yesterday, he couldn't possibly find it again in such a short period of time. He should have pretended to search and instead randomly walked around in a circle for a while until he returned with a box containing Profound Opening Powder.

Xiao Jiu and Xiao Kuangyun's silence worsened and Xiao Yunhai even let the fools begin to understand what was going on.

Xiao Yunhai perfectly answered Xiao Che's first question. The second question that came immediately after made them sink into a deep hole. As for the third question …. It was really a hard slap to their face.

“Che small ...” Xiao Lingxi buried her face in her hands as her vision became blurred. In the most helpless situation, everyone moved away from him, accusing him, and persecuting him for a period of time. Only he remains the same as before. She fearlessly riddled in front of him for trying to protect him …. And facing those who did not even dare to be provoked by the Xiao Clan.

This silhouette left a deep impression at the bottom of his heart and this memory could last a lifetime, without any chance of being erased or disappearing.

Xia Qingyue's expression brightened once again. The questions were perfectly answered and everyone was fully convinced of their actions, yet unexpectedly, he completely changed the whole situation with just a few simple questions, he said, they also reveal their lies. He again discovers that he doesn't really understand it. No, it must be said that he had hidden his true self from others …. No one knew about his frightening medical ability that could shock the entire world. Right now, he had only revealed a scheme that rendered others unable to make any more moves.

The look on everyone's face quietly changed ….

However, there was no trace of change on Xiao Lie's face. Instead, he became even more frightened as his two hands quietly trembled together.

He knew from the start that it was an act of shifting blame to someone else. Except Xiao Lingxi ended up with the position of a scapegoat …. When he saw how Xiao Kuangyun's gaze changed as his eyes looked towards Xiao Lingxi, he became furious. However, he could not open his mouth to speak, and might not be able to try to speak. This time, a few sentences of Xiao Che revealed their ill and cruel intentions in front of everyone currently present.

But after that?

Could they be embarrassed? Is shame covering their faces? Will they apologize? Or maybe yell out loud to say that it was all a misunderstanding?

Ha ha's…. That is absolutely impossible!

This will only make them even more angry, and make things more out of hand which will make the consequences worse. The people present were well aware of this joke, but they did not dare to openly state that this was happening. Instead, waves of anger came from the other party.

This was because the other party was the son of Sect Master Xiao! He could destroy the entire Xiao Clan by raising his finger! Without sufficient strength, what was the point of having a fluent tongue and an observant mind? In the face of absolute power, this so-called truth could not even be considered just a joke.

“Xiao Che !! “The First Elder pointed at Xiao Che and was very breathless,” Once again you are looking for a ridiculous reason to accuse the Clan Master and our esteemed guests of the Xiao Sect! What exactly is your motive? Why was the Xiao Sect trying to trap Xiao Lingxi? Everyone in this world knew about the Xiao Sect and his words had an enormous weight. If they said that the Profound Opening Powder was found in Xiao Lingxi's room, then it was found in Xiao Lingxi's room! No one in Floating Cloud City had the right to question their authority! “

“This is really outrageous, to question the esteemed guest of the Xiao Sect. Clan Master and Young Master Xiao had repeatedly shown their patience yet unexpectedly, if you gave him an inch, he wanted a mile; this was simply unbearable …. Young Master Xiao, Clan Master, this old man is asking for the arrest of the thief Xiao Lingxi and nonsense, Xiao Che! “Second Chairman Xiao Bo shouted in anger.

In fact, everyone present was well aware of the situation at hand, yet did not dare to say it out loud. The First Elder and the Second Elder shamelessly shouted and not a single person was willing to speak up for them, but there was a hint of pity in everyone's eyes. Even if you see their deceit. Even if you really dismantle their schemes and the truth, what's the point?

Xiao Kuangyun's expression was already dark with a charcoal color. He did not think that his “perfect “ plan would backfire on his face in front of so many people …. Even though these people were looking at him with expressions of fear and did not dare to make a single sound, he would bet with his toes on their minds, they would definitely mock him and see him as a dog!

And all this was because of Xiao Che!

Xiao Kuangyun grew even more furious as he directed his killing intent at the person who did not pay attention to his interests. He spoke in a deep voice: “I, from the dignified Xiao Sect, am under no obligation to answer questions about the useless trash of the Xiao Clan. Furthermore, I am under no obligation to explain the matter belonging to my Xiao Sect! Which elder in the Xiao Clan was in charge of law enforcement? Immediately catch this thief and the scum trying to protect him!

“We earnestly obey Young Master Xiao's orders !!” Fourth Elder, Xiao Cheng was the head law enforcement within the Xiao Clan who saw his opportunity to appear. He suddenly turned his head, his eyes revealing an ominous glint as they looked at Xiao Lingxi, and shouted in a loud voice again: “Xiao Lingxi, Xiao Che! You two have committed a serious crime, I will take you to the law enforcement hall to get punished !! “

The situation has changed suddenly. It was clear that they had been cornered, but the other party had acted without regard for their pride and had taken a direct approach. Xiao Che actually became anxious as he retreated and whispered to Xia Qingyue: “Hei! Qingyue my wife, where is your teacher !! “

“I ~! @ # ¥% .... “The reason why Xiao Che dared to mercilessly slap the face of the Xiao Sect was not because his blood was flowing to his head, but because he knew Master Xia Qingyue was around …. Last night, she even specifically reminded Xia Qingyue to tell her teacher.

In the end, Xia Qingyue simply replied to him “don't know”. Damn …

Xiao Cheng's Profound power was one of the top five within the Xiao Clan, so it was basically impossible for Xiao Che and Xia Lingxi to have the ability to fight against him. But now, a tall shadow appeared in an instant and stood in front of Xiao Che and Xiao Lingxi. With his entire body surging with profound strength, Xiao Lie suddenly came forward ….

The tremor sounded like a gust of sandstorm as far as one could see. Xiao Cheng who had quickly dashed towards his target was instantly thrown and he flew backwards. After landing, he staggered back seven or eight steps until he regained his balance.

The Xiao Clan…. It had to be said that in the entire Floating Cloud City, the only person who could make him lose in a single attack was Xiao Li! which was at the windows of the ten Spirit Profound Realm.

“Xiao Lie! What does this mean! Do you dare protect them? “If it was the past, Xiao Cheng would definitely shrink before Xiao Lie, but at this moment he still shouted with confidence.

Although he knew what was happening and knew that there was no point in fighting to defend them, how did Xiao Lie secretly see Xiao Che and Xiao Lingxi being taken away to suffer such injustice? Ignoring Xiao Cheng, he faced the stage and spoke: “Master Clan, regarding the current situation, I always have something I want to say! There is no way my daughter, Xiao Lingxi is the one who will steal the Profound Opening Powder! “

“Haha, Xiao Lingxi is your daughter, of course you will say that!” Xiao Li laughed out loud, “However, the truth is clear, whatever you have to say is completely useless! If you dare to protect and obstruct this arrest again, don't blame me for not acknowledging the Xiao Clan's relationship because I will also arrest you with them!

Since he was standing beside Xiao Kuangyun, Xiao Li had enough confidence to speak as if they were facts, with an incredible expression on his face.

Xiao Lie looked at Xiao Yunhai and lightly spoke: “Yes, it is true that I told Xi Er that the Profound Opening Powder has the ability to refine the Profound Vein. I immediately regretted it after I told him, knowing his personality, I was afraid that he was impulsive enough to steal the Profound Opening Powder. As a result, I stood at the door of his yard all night, until dawn broke! He did not take half a step outside the entrance of his courtyard at all! “

“Tch!” Xiao Li sneered anxiously: “To free your daughter's crime, you can really think of that ludicrous excuse! Think about it, does anyone believe your words? Our friends present today, does anyone believe him? “

Before the four grim faces of the Xiao Sect, no one dared to speak.

Xiao Lie's expression became very firm as he spoke in a loud voice: “I, Xiao Lie have always lived a straight and honest life! Although not a real man, I have never looked down on one's status! I have never hurt anyone, nor have I deceived anyone else! If what I said before is even half untruth, may heaven and earth punish me, and curse me to a terrible death! “

Xiao Lie's words felt loud and shocked the hearts of people. Each word was each filled to the brim with deep truth and spirit. Xiao Lie was not only the strongest in Floating Cloud City, but his integrity was also renowned! Actually there is no need for him to swear ‘may the heavens and earth punish me, and curse me to death that terrible’ in order for others to believe his words …. But, although there was no need for him to say those words, with Xiao Che's previous statement, everyone present had truly seen the truth. However, amidst the dominance power of the Xiao Sect, it was fundamentally impossible to change the unfavorable accusations placed on Xiao Lingxi. Even if Xiao Lie took out more evidence, it was useless, and would only cause Xiao Kuangyun to become even angrier from humiliation.

“HAHAHAHA..

A disdainful laughter suddenly sounded amidst the people belonging to the Xiao Clan family. Xiao Yulong who did not bother to speak, suddenly stood out and appeared. He turned towards Xiao Lie, laughing as he looked at him: “In this case, Xiao Yulong had absolutely no right to speak or intervene, but suddenly, all of a sudden, when I heard the words of the Fifth Elder, I was completely unable to remain silent anymore …. A person who had cheated the entire Xiao Clan for these ten years, unexpectedly claimed himself to be ‘an honest person who had never cheated others’! This was just a joke bigger than the sky itself! “

Having fooled the entire Xiao Clan for these ten years .. those few words surprised everyone.

As he listened to Xiao Yunlong's words and saw his expression, Xiao Che's brows suddenly sank, and a bad premonition surfaced in his heart.

“Xiao Yulong, what do you mean!” Xiao Lie immediately knit his brows and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yunhai also spoke with a serious expression on his face: “Yulong! The Fifth Elder had always been a person of virtue. In the presence of our esteemed guests of the Xiao Sect, in the presence of our Xiao Clan, and in the presence of our friends from Floating Cloud City, you must not carelessly gossip! “

Xiao Yulong bowed slightly, and said: “I asked father to make sure, your son would naturally not dare to speak so casually in broad daylight.” As he looked at Xiao Lie, his eyes narrowed and he laughed faintly: “Fifth Elder, you claim to be ‘honest person who never cheated others’, , Dare you promise on the honor and glory of your son Xiao Ying …. That Xiao Che is indeed your blood-related grandson !! “
