Chapter 695 A Clear Conscience
"That's enough." Ji Xuanyuan glanced at Xuanyuan Kang calmly, "I have my own judgment on right and wrong. I don't need you 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 flashing in his eyes:
"Yu girl, why did you never tell me about your grievances? You knew that if you helped me restore 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've never heard of a woman being the head of a clan!
Xuanyuan Kang saw Xuanyuan Yu remained silent, so he 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 grew up in a poor environment and suffered enough from men. You are also a man, so she naturally doesn't trust you. She thinks your promise of the position of clan leader is just empty talk."
Ji Xuanyuan's expression paused, and he whispered:
"I'm not entirely clear on what happened over the years... After I used all my strength to prop up this small world, I fell into hibernation. I only woke up briefly five hundred years ago. By then, the spiritual power in the world was less than a third of what it once was."
"I only had time to find the Xuanyuan clan leader at the time and have him take care of the Langhuan Secret Realm and protect this most comprehensive library in the world since ancient times. Then I fell into a deep sleep again. It was only recently that I woke up again when the world's spiritual energy showed signs of revival..."
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, but it was actually controlled by the Xuanyuan clan behind the scenes. Was that also arranged by you?"
"Leaving the Ji family? The whole clan disappearing?" Ji Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xuanyuan Song. "What's going on? You..."
"Uh..." Xuanyuan Song was stunned 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, and its secrets must not be leaked. There are also strict regulations for outsiders entering the temple..."
"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 world's spiritual energy was dwindling, you created this small world to rescue the ancient library. Five hundred years ago, you entrusted it to the Xuanyuan lineage, who were in charge of managing the ancient books. Unexpectedly, they took the small world and went into hiding."
"..." 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. Suddenly, he turned to look at Xuanyuan Kang and asked:
"What's the matter with Xuanyuan Yu that she just mentioned?"
"Grandmaster, please judge!" Xuanyuan Kang was shocked and immediately said, "Ayu died when he accidentally set up the wrong formation while repairing the clan's protective formation. It was an accident, and many people who were present at the time witnessed it!"
"You set up the wrong formation? You're truly shameless!" Xuanyuan Yu glared at him and snapped, "Master's attainments in formations are unparalleled, and she's always so meticulous. How could she possibly make a mistake on something so important!"
"Old man, do you think I don't know that you tampered with the formation the night before it was repaired, just to kill my master so you could 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 sternly, "You are 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 I have no evidence? What if I produce evidence?"
The two of them froze in unison. Xuanyuan Kang's eyes flashed and he said sternly:
"You even dared to deceive Taizu. I don't know how the so-called evidence in your hand was fabricated. How can it be counted?"
With just one sentence, he blocked Xuanyuan Yu's escape route and concluded that no matter what evidence she produced, it was all fake.
Xuanyuan Yu's expression changed and he said angrily:
"It's truly shameless!"
"Enough, shut up!" Ji Xuanyuan shouted softly, and the fluctuation of spiritual power spread with the sound. Everyone's heart tightened, and finally 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 happened to overhear their private conversation. I never exposed it 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, with her extraordinary talent, married this hypocritical hypocrite! I was deceived by his sweet words and cleaned up countless messes for him, but in the end, all the credit was his. And then he teamed up with his illegitimate son to kill her. Even after her death, she was labeled as a person 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'll be struck by lightning and my soul will be annihilated!"
"Alright." Ji Xuanyuanyan raised his hand to interrupt, nodded, and turned to look at Xuanyuan Kang and Xuanyuan Sheng, "What do you think about this matter?"
"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 advised. Xuanyuan Yu has a long criminal record. Her oath is completely untrustworthy!"
Ji Xuanyuan said calmly:
"Of course I wouldn't jump to conclusions based on a few words from her. So, since you two are accusing her of lying, then I guess you didn't have the secret conversations she claimed 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 gently, and the picture immediately became clear.
