Chapter 683 I’ll Sit aside and Watch
Gao Ge feels a headache but the people of the Poison Sect are having a greater headache.
The Poison Sect has encountered a great crisis.
That is…
The Book of Poison of the Poison Sect is leaked!
Although it is obtained by the Xie Family only now, it is indisputably a matter of time that the book will be circulated.
The Book of Poison is the root of the Poison Sect.
Now, their root has been dug up and exposed under the sun.
However, now they can’t do anything about it. After all, they cannot make the Xie Family hand over the Book of Poison. Even if the Xie Family agrees, they must pay a big price.
If they can solve the problem at a big price, it won’t be a big deal for the Poison Sect but who knows whether the Xie Family has kept a copy after they paying the big price?
Of course.
They don’t know the Book of Poison the Xie Family has is actually a copy of the original work.
This is the most pathetic thing.
Now, in the Xie Family’s house, Xie Zhuolian is also very angry.
In the grotto-heaven of the Xie Family, there is row upon row of antique buildings, whose edge cannot be seen.
Xie Zhuolian rushes through the veranda, which is across an artificial lake. She passes the veranda and enters a pavilion.
Behind the pavilion is a large area of herb field. The herbs grown here are rare to see in the secular world. Even the members of the Xie Family are not allowed to come here in general cases.
Moreover, it is said that fierce rare beasts are raised in the herb field, which are incomparably strong. Even the cultivators at the realm of Master cannot get away unscathed if they break into this place.
In the pavilion, there are more than ten people busy working, most of whom are older than 60 years old.
Looking at Xie Zhuolian’s angry face, one of the old people sitting on the seats of honor laughs.
“See? I told you that she couldn’t refrain from running over and denouncing us.”
The several other old people also nod their heads.
“Grandpa, you knew I would come?” Xie Zhuolian is a bit taken aback.
“Of course. And you are here for the matter of the Poison Sect, right?” The old man, with a benign face, looks at Xie Zhuolian amiably.
“Grandpa, since you all know why I am here, you should give me an explanation.” Xie Zhuolian still looks furious.
There are two young men present too, who seem a bit uneasy.
In the end, the old man that looks kind speaks first.
“Zhuolian, don’t you just want to know who spread the news that the Book of Poison was given by Gao Ge?”
“Yeah!” Xie Zhuolian hastens to nod.
That’s what she is angry about.
After all, the Book of Poison is given by Gao Ge to her, which is a big favor for her. However, to her surprise, the news has been spread. The people of the Poison Sect may have known her Book of Poison was obtained from Gao Ge.
As a member of the Xie Family, Xie Zhuolian wouldn’t need to worry about being targeted by the Poison Sect. After all, they are both blessed spots. She doesn’t need to fear at all.
Besides, among all the blessed spots, countless masters owe a lot to the Xie Family. If the Poison Sect really wants to make trouble for the Xie Family, they really have to think about whether they are capable enough.
On the contrary, Gao Ge is different.
Gao Ge doesn’t belong to any blessed spot. Now, he is not a member of the Dragon Court, either. If the Poison Sect really wants to deal with Gao Ge, it will definitely be troublesome for Gao Ge.
Now, she is in a dilemma of how to face Gao Ge.
This is the most tricky thing for her.
“Alas, Jue, we may as well directly kill these beasts,” another old man says. Compared with the one sitting on the seat of honor, he is obviously younger, who is a bit more than 60 years old.
Now, he looks rather grieved with his eyes full of guilt.
The other two young men in the pavilion are astounded now, whose eyes show deep fear.
Xie Zhuolian feels so puzzled and kind of fails to figure out what’s going on now.
“No rush for now.” Xie Jue smiles. He is the master of the Xie Family as well as the grandpa of Xie Zhuolian.
He turns around to look at the two men and asks, “Xie Feng, Xie Shan, why did you disclose this matter to others?”
“Granduncle, we… we were chatting casually and never expected that we would be overheard…” One of the young men, who has bright eyes, hastens to kneel and lower his head to look at the ground, trying to defend himself.
“Well… Xie Feng, it is wrong for you to say that. Just because you disclose the matter to others by accident, we wouldn’t hold you responsible?” Xie Jue asks with a frown.
The two young men become even more astonished and their faces turn ghastly pale as if they lost too much blood.
“Granduncle, please spare my life!”
“Granduncle, please spare my life!”
Xie Zhuolian knows Xie Feng and Xie Shan, who are the grandsons of her grandpa’s brother, aka, her granduncle. Hence, one of them is her elder cousin and the other is her younger cousin. Yet, they are always not interested in the medical skills of the Xie Family so they are poor at both their cultivation and medical skills. So, their positions in the Xie Family are mediocre. Xie Zhuolian seldom deals with them. There are too many members of the Xie Family, including various cousins. Xie Zhuolian may not know them all even when she meets them.
Like the other families, since the Xie Family started to thrive, a lot of distant relatives have shown up, who are not rejected by the Xie Family. As long as they are proven to be related to the Xie Family, they can all enter the grotto-heaven of the Xie Family. However, it is easy to come in and hard to get out. The blessed spot is not the place where they can come and go freely.
“Grandpa, it was them who spread the news?” Xie Zhuolian ventures to ask.
“Yeah, it is these two brats who leaked the news,” Xie Zhen, the third granduncle of Xie Zhuolian says in a deep voice, “Zhuolian, they’ve actually put you and the whole family into a disloyal position, so we can never let them go.”
Xie Zhuolian nods her head and feels a bit complicated. It is said by her third granduncle, and Xie Shan and Xie Feng are his grandsons.
Such words sound unreliable anyhow.
“Jue, they must die for their mistake!” Xie Zhen turns around to look at Xie Jue and says in a deep voice.
Xie Jue strokes his beards and gets lost in thought.
On the contrary, Xie Zhuolian is surprised.
Her third granduncle wants to execute his two grandsons?
For the moment, Xie Zhuolian can’t believe what she has heard.
However, Xie Jue suddenly looks at Xie Zhuolian and says with a smile, “Zhuolian, what do you think?”
“I…” Xie Zhuolian is confused.
She wants to say that she will sit aside and watch but under the current circumstance, she may get into trouble if she really says so.
