The Second Elder, who was standing by the side, stepped in.
âWe may not have the evidence that you murdered her, but itâs true that you have been sleeping with Young Master Xue. There were a lot of us who saw it. Seeing that your sister would be getting married to Young Master Xue, you decided to make a move. Since youâre willing to seduce your brother-in-law, who knows if you would have hated your sister, and in order to stop your sister from getting married to him, it may be possible that you would have killed her.â
âThatâs right! Even Z from the Sanctuary has testified against you, saying that youâre the murderer. What else can you say about that?â
âWe are the biological family of Saka, but it was The Sanctuary who found Sakaâs body! Even her funeral was held by The Sanctuary! This is an insult!â
âYou better watch your mouth! Z was just suspecting. Does he have any evidence that Iâm the one who murdered my sister?â
âHmph, if he had, do you think that youâd be able to stand there and continue arguing with us?â
âThatâs right!â
Most of the elders that had the right to voice out their opinion had decided to oppose her, trying to frame her.
Dong Yuetong was fuming with rage.
These people were monsters, not knowing anything about ethics and integrity when there were profits involved.
However, after spending some much time with these people, she knew that there was no point in her being angry.
She calmed herself down and smiled instead. âSince none of you have evidence, this means that Iâm still innocent, right? Since Iâm innocent, I am next in line and I will be inheriting my sisterâs shares. I hope that everyone remembers what the Tang Sect was built on.
âNow that Big sister is dead, if I refuse to treat those people that are in need, the reputation of the Tang Sect will soon plummet. Without me, the powerful people wouldnât respect the Tang Sect, and by then, even if all of you have more shares of the Tang Sect than I do, it may not be worth as much as it used to.
âPlus, we have been friends with the Xue family for more than ten years. If it wasnât because of my efforts in maintaining that relationship for all these years, do you think that the Xue family would still cooperate with the Tang Sect?â
âSecond Miss is right. Although she had been together with Young Master Xue behind Sakaâs back, which isnât something to be proud of, it is Second Miss who is still with him now. If they werenât together back then, our relationship with the Xue family would have been broken by now. All of us are aware that the Xue family is in charge of the imports and exports of our jade business, which brings in a large income to the Tang Sect.â
âThatâs right. Weâre lucky that Second Miss is in a good relationship with Young Master Xue, getting rid of all the troubles that we would have faced in the future.â
âSaka was the one who personally taught Second Miss her âQiâ technique. She may not be as good as Saka, but I would like to ask everyone in this room a question. Is there anyone who has skills that are better than those of Second Miss? How about the âQiâ technique? Do any of you have it?â
At that point, most of the talented people who were on Dong Yuetongâs side started speaking.
When everyone in the room got heated, Xue Jinyuan walked into the conference room, just as Dong Yuetong had arranged.
âElders of the Tang Sect, I am very sorry for Sakaâs death. I was her fiancé, but I fell in love with Xiao Yue. This is truly my fault, but I can promise all of you that no matter whether itâs Saka or Xiao Yue, the Xue family will give them our full support.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xue Jinyuan was very talented at talking.
What he meant was that the Xue family would not be supporting anyone other than Saka and Dong Yuetong. It wouldnât matter who the next person in charge was because they would only be supporting the sisters.
The head of the Xue family used to be the King of Navigation at the Delta, as he had control of all the routes on the sea. Even the Somali pirates wouldnât dare to rob any ships that belonged to the Xue family. This was why the Xue family was so important to them.
