Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King’s Concubine Chapter 508

Chapter 508 -Confession Part 2

“Xiao Yun’s talent was extraordinary that year. However, a young mistress from a branch of the Yao family fancied him. When he adamantly refused to join their family despite their threats and bribes, the Yao family schemed to make him unable to make any further breakthroughs for the rest of his life. Xiao Yun was also chased out of the family because of this.”

As they heard this, those people lowered their heads with guilt written all over their faces.

Who knew that, after almost a century, such outstanding descendants of Xiao Yun would appear?

Plop!

An ancestor elder suddenly knelt before Xiao Yun’s grave and said remorsefully, “We had all let you down that year. We were jealous about Xiao Yun and listened to Qing Shi’s provocation which resulted in us contributing to that matter. We felt uneasy for doing so these past several years. Hence, we came to beg for your forgiveness.”

“Forgiveness?”

Elder Xiao suddenly chuckled as his cold laughter echoed through the entire memorial hall.

“Do you guys know what happened that year and what took his life?! If it wasn’t for that case, how could he have died so prematurely? Can your begging for forgiveness return to him his life? Haha! This is too laughable!”

n.o.body knew how Xiao Yun felt when he left the Central Region that year, nor what he went through when he created a place for himself here…

But he, who had witnessed it, would never forget that those had been the most painful days of Xiao Yun’s life.

“Do you know how Xiao Yun died? He should have been able to live another century without any difficulty with his cultivation. There also isn’t anyone that could match up to him in cultivation in this place! It was Qing Shi that b.a.s.t.a.r.d who dispatched someone to a.s.sa.s.sinate Xiao Yun! It is great that the a.s.sa.s.sin was humane and didn’t annihilate my Xiao family. Otherwise, how could such a situation occur today?”

This time, even the ancestor elders had gotten a fright, not to mention the rest.

To be truthful, they were youthful and hot blooded at that time so they couldn’t stand Xiao Yun. Thus, they listened to Qing Shu’s instigations. They really did feel remorse during these last years, but they didn’t expect that the one who killed Xiao Yun was actually Qing Shi!

Mu Ru Yue lowered her gaze slightly. She suddenly felt that it had been too simple to have just carved Qing Shi’s meat and feed it to the dogs. Instead, she should have made him live a life worse than death!

“Elder Xiao, don’t worry. The old ancestor should already be at peace.” Mu Ru Yue lifted the side of her lip and continued, “It is because Qing Shi has already died, his flesh carved up to feed the dogs while he remained conscious. Jing Er personally carried this matter out. His appearance in death was incredibly gruesome. Furthermore, his spirit has been dissipated so he will never have the chance to be reincarnated.”

Elder Xiao was stunned before he raised his head to laugh heartily after a while.

“Qing Shi is dead? That b.a.s.t.a.r.d is finally dead! Do you see this, Lord Xiao Yun? The one that planned your death has finally gone to h.e.l.l to apologise to you. Haha!”

Tears flowed subconsciously as he laughed.

At this moment, it was as though the heavy stone that had weighed down on him for so many years had finally dropped, making him feel unprecedented relief…

Mu Ru Yue didn’t say anything further and quietly retreated from the memorial hall with Xiao Tian Yu and the rest. She then turned her head toward Xiao Tian Yu and Madam Sheng Yue as she said with raised brows, “Father, mother, can you please call grandfather out? I have some matters I would like to tell you all…”

The two of them glanced at each other, curious as to what Mu Ru Yue wanted to say, but they didn’t think much further and simply nodded.

Mu Ru Yue told them about Zi Qian Zing’s ident.i.ty and her past life to her family that day. Furthermore, she told them that when a cultivator reached a certain threshold in cultivation, they could be reborn if their spirit wasn’t dissipated. Elder Xiao, who had known this after reading it in an ancient book, was still very shocked, but it wasn’t just a legend to him…

Mu Ru Yue’s purposes in coming back was not only bring to Yao Yun Qing to meet with her parents or to help Elder Xiao refine the Increase Life Force Pill; she also needed to look for her master.
