Chapter 695: A Clear Conscience
"That's enough." Ji Xuanyuan glanced at Xuanyuan Kang calmly, "I have my own judgment on right and wrong. You don't need to teach me how to do things."
Xuanyuan Kang's face froze and he closed his mouth.
Ji Xuanyuan turned to look at Xuanyuan Yu, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes:
"Yu girl, why didn't you tell me about your grievances? You knew that if you helped me recover my spirit core, the position of the next clan leader would be yours, so why did you do those things to prevent the spirit core from being repaired?"
His words made everyone in the Xuanyuan clan's heads buzz again.
Is Xuanyuan Yu the next clan leader chosen by Taizu?
How could this be possible! I have never heard of a precedent of a woman being the head of a clan!
Seeing that Xuanyuan Yu said nothing, Xuanyuan Kang raised his voice and said:
"Why don't you say anything? Don't you want justice?"
Xuanyuan Yu turned his head and snorted coldly.
Qi Mo chuckled:
"Don't you understand? She has lived in a poor environment since she was a child and has suffered a lot from men. You are also a man, so she naturally doesn't trust you. She thinks that you are just empty talk when you promised her the position of clan leader."
Ji Xuanyuan paused and whispered:
"I don't know what happened over the years... After I used all my strength to support this small world, I fell into hibernation until I woke up briefly five hundred years ago. At that time, the spiritual power in the world was less than one-third of what it used to be."
"I only had time to find the patriarch of the Xuanyuan lineage at the time and asked him to take care of the Langhuan Secret Realm and protect the most comprehensive library in the world since ancient times. Then I fell into a deep sleep again. It was not until recently when the world's spiritual energy showed signs of revival that I woke up again..."
The Xuanyuan people present were confused and surprised after hearing these words. It was the first time they heard about the origin of Langhuan Palace.
Yun Qingqing spoke thoughtfully:
"Five hundred years ago... So the Xuanyuan lineage suddenly broke away from the Ji clan and disappeared. After that, the Langhuan Secret Palace came into being. In fact, it was controlled by the Xuanyuan clan behind the scenes. Was it also arranged by you?"
"Leaving the Ji family? The whole family disappearing?" Ji Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xuanyuan Song, "What's going on? You..."
"Uh..." Xuanyuan Song was confused by the question and answered subconsciously, "It's the clan rules left by our great-grandfather five hundred years ago. The Langhuan Secret Realm is the foundation of our clan. The secret must not be leaked. There are also strict rules for outsiders to enter the palace..."
"Nonsense!" Ji Xuanyuan said coldly, "That's not what I told him back then!"
"..." Xuanyuan Song looked at his expression and closed his mouth silently.
Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly:
"So, when the spiritual energy of the world was becoming increasingly exhausted, you created this small world to rescue the ancient book library, and entrusted it to the Xuanyuan lineage who was in charge of managing the books in the clan five hundred years ago. But you didn't expect that they would go into hiding with the small world."
"..." Ji Xuanyuan closed his eyes and sighed, "Fortunately, Master found me by chance... But it's also true that the Ancient Book Library has a karmic connection with Master. As long as you come back, you will find me here sooner or later..."
Yun Qingqing listened to his words and fell into deep thought.
Ji Xuanyuan looked at Xuanyuan Yu, who had been silent with a cold face, and thought for a moment. He suddenly turned to look at Xuanyuan Kang and asked:
"What's the matter with Xuanyuan Yu that she just mentioned?"
"Grandmaster, you are wise!" Xuanyuan Kang was shocked and said immediately, "Ayu was repairing the clan protection formation that year. He accidentally set up the wrong formation and died. It was an accident. Many people who were present at the time witnessed it!"
"You set up the wrong formation? You are so shameless!" Xuanyuan Yu glared at him and said sternly, "Master is extremely skilled in formations and is always very careful. How could she make a mistake in something so important!"
"You old man, do you think I don't know that you guys tampered with the formation the night before it was repaired, just to kill my master so that you can embezzle her notes and give them to your illegitimate son Xuanyuan Shengfulu!"
"Shut up!" Xuanyuan Kang interrupted hastily, a flash of panic in his eyes, and he immediately said in a serious tone, "You are simply slandering me!"
Xuanyuan Sheng was so shocked that he almost jumped up, gritted his teeth and said:
"What nonsense are you talking about! How can you make up stories about me and my master without any evidence?"
Xuanyuan Yu sneered:
"Are you so sure that I have no evidence? What if I produce evidence?"
The two of them froze in unison. Xuanyuan Kang's eyes flickered and he said sternly:
"You even dared to deceive Taizu. I don't know how the so-called evidence in your hand was forged. How can it count?"
His words blocked Xuanyuan Yu's escape route and determined that no matter what evidence she produced, it was all fake.
Xuanyuan Yu's expression changed and he said angrily:
"It's really shameless!"
"Enough, shut up!" Ji Xuanyuan shouted in a low voice, and the fluctuation of spiritual power spread along with the voice. Everyone's heart tightened, and finally they quieted down.
Ji Xuanyuan exhaled slowly and looked at Xuanyuan Yu:
"Girl, do you dare to swear that you have not lied about your master?"
"Why not!" Xuanyuan Yu said coldly, "After Master passed away, I overheard their private conversations by chance. I never exposed them because I knew the atmosphere in the clan was rotten to the core, and they would never give my Master justice!"
"It's a pity that my mentor, who was extremely talented, married this hypocritical hypocrite! I was deceived by his sweet words and cleaned up countless messes for him. In the end, all the credit went to him, but he and his illegitimate son teamed up to kill me. Even after my death, I was labeled as someone who made a mistake in setting up the formation!"
"At this point I have nothing to hide. Everything I say is true. If I tell even a single lie I will be struck by lightning and my soul will be destroyed!"
"That's enough." Ji Xuanyuanyan raised his hand to interrupt, nodded, and turned to look at Xuanyuan Kang and Xuanyuan Sheng, "What do you think about this?"
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case! You must not be provoked by this woman!" Xuanyuan Kang knelt on the ground and shouted.
Xuanyuan Sheng followed up:
"Taizu, please be clear. Xuanyuan Yu has a long criminal record. Her oath cannot be trusted at all!"
Ji Xuanyuan said calmly:
"Of course I won't jump to conclusions based on a few words from her. So, since you two said she was lying, then I guess you didn't have the secret conversation she said after Xuanyuan Yu passed away?"
Xuanyuan Kang immediately said:
"No! I have a clear conscience!"
Ji Xuanyuan looked at him for a moment, then spoke slowly:
"In that case, you shouldn't be afraid of soul searching. Let me see what happened during that time, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Kang and Xuanyuan Sheng's faces turned pale.
Ji Xuanyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his hand without waiting for their reaction. The starlight in the distance suddenly burst into light and instantly enveloped the two of them.
This small world was completely under the control of Ji Xuanyuan, and it was effortless for him to search for the gods. Two balls of light quickly unfolded into a light curtain above their heads.
Xuanyuan Yu looked at Taizu's actions and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"time?"
Ji Xuanyuan's low voice brought her back to her senses, and she realized that he was asking about the time of the two people's secret conversation.
Xuanyuan Yu pursed her lips and whispered a date.
Ji Xuanyuan raised his finger and pointed at the ball of light, flicking it twice, and the picture immediately became clear.
