âBut you allâ¦â Tsing Yiâs chilling smile swept across the many dragons present, âbelieved her words without a second though!â
âAnd now, this woman is claiming I ordered her to harm Long Xi so that I can take over the position as chief with ease? Whereâs the logic in that?â
The gathered crowd were left completely silent. Some were shocked by this revelation while some were too ashamed to utter a response.
Compared with humans, dragons on the other hand rarely uses their brain to think due to their nature of being a animal at heart. Back then when Longyuâs husband Xiang Luo claimed of the dragonessâs betrayal, they were all convinced with ease and never doubted the idea.
But now that theyâre thinking it through, it has quickly dawned on them that there are many potholes to the story.
Thatâs right, Tsing Yi was the next dragon chief anyways. Why should she betray the clan when she only lacked a ceremony to become official back then?
âItâs me! Itâs my fault that Long Xi is goneâ¦.â Slowly closing her eyes, Tsing Yi revealed immense pain on the face: âIf I was still here then none of you people couldâve harmed himâ¦.â
But the dragonessâs wish could only remain a wish. Back then these dragons didnât even give her a chance to explain before attacking her. If she didnât flee for her life then the only thing left of her wouldâve been a corpse. And now on her grandiose return, those whom she thought as her own family was now gone, the little nosy child whom always followed her everywhere was now deadâ¦.
Suddenly, Tsing Yi shoots open her eyes with lines of blood filling up those pupils.
Taking advantage of everyoneâs absent mindedness due to her words, the dragoness had already come before Longyuâs face and stabbed her blade ruthlessly against that chest.
Poof!
Spitting out blood from the mouth, Longyu looked upwards in disbelief at that incredible contour. Shaking her head in a muttering tone: âYour injuries⦠itâs healed?â
She didnât get to wait for a proper answer, the reason being Tsing Yi had begun to slash down repeatedly at the wretched womanâs body.
This was the dragonessâs form of retaliation. For all the years of indignation, frustration, and pain, sheâs letting it all loose like a crazed whip towards the foe.
âElder Long Huang, what is the meaning of all this?â One of the stronger and braver dragons stepped over to ask one of the seniors who came back with Bai Yanâs group. âThese people, where did you find them from? Werenât your group investigating the lightning trial?â
âAhoomph!â Long Huang awkwardly coughs to stop the man from asking anymore dangerous questions. âThat year, it was us who misunderstood Tsing Yiâ¦.â
When he spoke, the senior made sure to measure the reaction from Bai Yan and Di Cangâs face. Seeing thereâs none, the poor guy felt relieved and heaved a long sigh.
âMisunderstood Tsing Yi?â The male frowns and continued to ask.
âI ask you then, in addition to Xiang Luoâs word about her betrayal, what other evidence is there? Did you see it with your own eyes, or did you hear their conversation personally?â
After a moment of thought, the senior Long Huang threw out the same set of questions Bai Yan used to question their group back at the surface. Sure enough, the crowd had fallen silent.
Itâs exactly like the senior predicted, none of them had seen or heard it firsthand, only blindly believing one of their own about Tsing Yiâs betrayal.
âAndâ¦â the seniorâs mouth began to twitch at his own shamelessness, âif you donât want our clan to be destroyed then keep your nose out of this matter. Donât drag the clan down just because of Longyu and her husbandâs crime!â
That said, Long Huang didnât forget to sneak another peek at Di Cang and Bai Yan.?These two are from the Demon Realm. If they want to destroy our clan then its only a word away. We be stupid to protect Longyu and her husband at a time like thisâ¦.
