Chapter 653 Ending (Update 1)
Amidst reluctant approval, the branch to which Xie Bowen belonged returned to the main family, and Xie Bowen's position as a fellow clan elder was easily finalized.
Xie Bowen just felt that his whole body was light and he couldn't believe it.
Voices of congratulations rang out one after another, and the previously tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
But before everyone could completely relax, Xie Chujun spoke again. His voice was still gentle and smiling, but it made the elders and others feel nervous.
"My Xie family has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Now that those who deserve rewards have been rewarded, it's time to talk about those who deserve punishments."
Xie Chujun spoke gently, but the next moment his eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he shouted, "Xie Lingyun! Do you admit your guilt?!"
Xie Lingyun's face turned pale and her knees softened almost reflexively. By the time she came to her senses, she was already kneeling on the ground. Countless eyes were fixed on her, and it was too late to get up.
Her face still bore the wounds inflicted by Xie Yi, Tang Huaijin, and Pei Rang. She looked pale and weak, lacking some of her usual cold and arrogant demeanor.
Xie Lingyun endured the pain in her body, straightened her back and replied, "I don't know what I did wrong, please tell me clearly, young master."
Xie Chujun sneered and said, "Now that I've pointed it out, I'll naturally convince you."
He snapped his fingers, and immediately the Xie family's secret guards came forward with several men and women dressed as guards or servants and threw the man in front of Xie Chujun.
Without waiting for Xie Chujun to ask, the few people who had already been frightened immediately told what they knew.
Xie Lingyun tampered with the Xie family's ancient lamp and designed and led the incident of Xie Siyun impersonating Xie Xihe.
Xie Lingyun bribed the servants to keep an eye on the movements in the main courtyard.
Xie Lingyun inquired about the news from Xie Yaozhong of the medical hall.
Xie Lingyun sent someone to quietly leave the ancient martial arts world and bring back Xie Bowen and others.
Xie Lingyun locked up Xie Bowen.
…
One by one.
Some of it was known to everyone, but some was unknown to even the elders. The more they listened, the more frightened they became.
Even the elders of the Xie clan cast surprised and suspicious glances at Xie Lingyun. They never expected that she would be so bold and ambitious!
What followed was intense anger.
Although they did want to change to a young master who was easier to control, they never considered letting Xie Lingyun be the future young master!
Putting aside the fact that she was a woman, the Xie clan had never had a precedent of a woman serving as the young master and clan leader. Even if we only considered talent and ability, there were many other candidates in the Xie clan who were more suitable than her. How could it be her turn to jump around like that?
The elder's face suddenly turned cold, and he angrily shouted, "Xie Lingyun, you are so bold!"
Xie Lingyun's face turned pale and she tried to argue, but Xie Chujun not only produced witnesses, but also took out a lot of letters and other items.
The evidence was irrefutable and she had no way to argue.
Xie Chujun waited until everyone had finished cursing before speaking: "Other matters aside, tampering with the ancient lamp, confusing the Xie family's bloodline, and imprisoning members of the clan without reason cannot be forgiven lightly."
"What do you elders think should be the punishment?"
Everyone immediately started talking about it.
The result of the discussion was that there was no result.
Everyone has realized that Xie Chujun's behavior today is to support Xie Xihe's adoptive father.
He had actually laid the matter out in front of them, so there was no possibility of a peaceful resolution today.
Either he punished Xie Lingyun according to his ideas, or he would just give up and leave the mess of the Xie family to them.
There is no third option.
The elders of the clan sighed in their hearts and chose to give in again.
The elder of the clan spoke as the representative again, bowing and saying, "Young Master, the decision is yours!"
Xie Chujun smiled with satisfaction. This time, he didn't beat around the bush with them and directly ordered, "Then abolish your cultivation and expel you from the Xie family."
Xie Lingyun opened her eyes wide in a flash, full of disbelief!
Ever since she found out that her third aunt was actually the eldest daughter of the Brahma tribe and Xie Xihe was actually the new Saint of the Brahma tribe, Xie Lingyun knew that all her efforts over the years might have been in vain.
But I was unwilling to give up, so I forced myself to come back here and try one last time.
But she never expected that Xie Chujun would decide her fate without even giving her a chance to speak!
Abolish cultivation?
Expelled from the Xie family?
Xie Lingyun is of noble status and has superb medical skills. She has even learned the Nine-Turn Three-Purity Needle, which is rarely mastered by anyone in the clan!
She should have been the most shining figure in the Xie family, the heir most eagerly awaited, a darling of heaven, so why had she ended up like this?!
Xie Lingyun couldn't understand.
She never had the chance to understand again.
A force so powerful that she could not resist it slammed towards her, hitting her lower abdomen. Xie Lingyun almost heard the sound of her dantian shattering!
She suddenly looked up and saw Xie Xihe who had appeared in front of her at some point.
Xie Lingyun's eyes were almost bloodshot as she stared at her: "Xie Xihe!!"
Xie Xihe's eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his voice was just as cold. He said lightly: "This is to repay you on behalf of my father."
He raised his hand and slapped it again: "This belongs to my nephew and two senior brothers."
Xie Lingyun felt a pain in her body and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. It seemed as if all the energy in her body was drained away in an instant, and she finally collapsed to the ground, unable to hold on.
Xie Xihe casually took it back and ordered in a calm voice, "Take it away."
The elders of the clan finally came back to their senses from the surprise of Xie Xihe's sudden attack. They looked at Xie Xihe with a cold expression, then at Xie Lingyun who was covered in wounds, and shuddered suddenly.
