After her eldest senior glared at her, Jill Sinclair almost fell to her knees.
Seeing such a scene, Derrick Sinclair immediately said, âHerschel Lancaster, whatâs the meaning of
this? My granddaughter has already explained it just now. Why wonât you believe it? And, you just
believe whatever this b*tch Nanami said? Look at this corpse. A witch does it. Canât you see it?â
It turned out that the eldest disciple was called Herschel Lancaster.
He waved at the grand elder. âI can differentiate between right and wrong. Grand Elder, you donât have
to say so much.â
Derrick had hit a snag. If it were other sects, he, as the grand elder, would have flown into a rage and
done something after being offended by a junior like Herschel.
However, Derrick was all talk.
He could not say something too over the line either. That was because Herschelâs cultivation base was
too high. It was three points higher than the sect master. He was truly the No. 1 in Hygieia Valley.
Although he was not the sect master, everyone knew well that his dignity was more significant than the
sect master.
This was strength.
Facing Herschelâs question, Jill wanted to say Shochiku did all of this by colluding with outsiders and so
on. However, all these words were stuck in her throat, and she could not say them out loud no matter
what.
It seemed that something was stopping her from speaking.
Not only that, she even felt a pang of extreme guilt, as if she would die in the next second if she did not
tell the truth. Then, she told every last detail of the incident.
âFifth Junior saw you coming out of Shochikuâs room last night, so I suspect that Shochiku tried to
seduce Big Brotherâ¦â
âI called her out with an excuse and slapped her with a whip.â
âI ordered Seventh Junior to defile her, but I didnât expect her to jump into Witch Riverâ¦â
Jill revealed everything.
By then, all the fellow disciples of Hygieia Valley were stunned. Never did they expect that everything
told by Jill was fake.
She instigated everything that happened.
Herschelâs gaze seemed like a blade as he shouted, âWhere are the people from the inquisition?â
âHere!â an elder said.
âHow should one be punished for the crime of harming a fellow disciple, deceiving the superiors and
subordinates, instigatirrg the entire sect to fight with outsiders, and disregarding the fellow disciplesâ
lives?â
âAccording to the law, itâs lynching!â
âThen, what are you waiting for?â
âYes, sir!â
The members from the inquisition immediately stepped up to capture Jill.
Derrick yelled, âLet me see who dares to make a move on my granddaughter. Iâm the grand elder of
Hygieia Valley and am second to none after the sect master. Herschel Lancaster, Iâm your elder. How
dare you disrespect your superior? Today, I, Derrick Sinclair, will give my words here. Iâll kill whoever
dares to make a move on my granddaughter!â
Herschel asked, âAre you going your own way?â
Derrick laughed. âSo what?â
Herschel shook his head. âGrand Elder, Iâll have others give you a lavish funeral.â
âWhat did you say?â
Poof!
Squeeze the air, Herschel snapped Derrickâs neck. Jill shouted, horrified, âGrandpa, Grandpa! Herschel
Lancaster, how dare you? How dare you kill my grandpa?!â
As Herschel waved his hand, the members of the inquisition immediately took Jill away.
âA nation has its law, and a family has its rules. Hygieia Valley is a place where rules rule it.â
When Luna saw Herschelâs action, she directed her words at Alex. âHey, look at this. This only seems
like a manâs way of doing things, with swift and decisive reactions. You should learn from him properly.â
Alex replied, âEveryone has his style of doing things. Whatâs there to be learned? I think heâs not old
and just right for you. Didnât you say that youâve never fallen in love? Since itâs a rare opportunity for
you to admire someone so much, go for it! â
Luna cocked her eyebrows. âIt tastes sour, are you jealous?â
Alex was instantly rendered speechless.
âYouâre really not a common narcissist.â
âUnfortunately, this man is old-fashioned and speaks like an old fart I donât like him. I still prefer a
younger one. How about you come and date me instead?â
Alex rolled his eyes exaggeratedly. âNo, thank you!â
