Chapter 139: Stolen Bone Forming Elixirs (6)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
“A treasure like this is never useless!”
It was Murong Xiyi, he sat in his chair and said frivolously, “You were injured from the contest with Nangong Ye, weren’t you? But how come you look fine with such a short amount of time?”
With that everyone looked at Murong Qingyan with an inquiring look.
Everyone was there when Murong Qingyan and Nangong Ye were having that heated fight, even though Murong Qingyan made advancement at a crucial moment in the end, it was impossible for her to become well-healed so soon.
The contest was just ten days ago or so, plus Murong Qingyan’s status in the family wouldn’t get herself any sovereign remedy, so she condition looked more suspicious now.
“Murong Qingyan, what else do you have to say?” Murong Xiong was more convinced now, “No wonder people say it’s easier to guard against an external enemy than an internal thief! I cannot let you go!”
“I’ll say this one more time, it’s not me!” Murong Qingyan took a glimpse at Murong Xiong with indifference, she sneered, “he who has a mind to beat his dog will easily find his stick! You accused me of stealing your Elixir just because of my recovery, Murong Family is indeed a laughing stock!”
“How great, it looks like you are not going to accept defeat until at the end of your rope!” Murong Xiong picked up a piece of jade pendant from the table and threw it on the ground.
Seeing the jade pendant darting towards her, Murong Qingyan bent down and took a close look, it looked so familiar.
It was hers! Every family member would receive a jade pendant with his or her name carved at the back of the pendant, Murong Qingyan turned the pendant, there was her name “Qingyan”!
“Lin Guangxiong found this on the floor of the Treasury!” Murong Xiong stared at Murong Qingyan with probing intensity, “How can you explain this?”
“It is indeed my jade pendant”, said Murong Qingyan, “however, I lost it a long time ago.”
“Great, what are the odds, you lost your pendant and Lin Guangxiong found it in the Treasury!” Murong Xiong was fumed, “How do you expect anyone to believe your nonsense? The jade pendant represents our status, it’s like a token in our family, how come you’ve never reported it to anyone if you have really lost yours a long time ago?”
“I have my own reasons, to put everything in a nutshell, your Recovery Elixir doesn’t interest me at all!” said Murong Qingyan with disdain.
Everyone gasped, that was some big talk!
“What high-sounding sentiments!” Murong Xiong threw the teacup on the ground, “Murong Qingyan, no matter how hard you try to swear black is white, you cannot change the fact that it was you who stole the Elixir!”
“It looks like I need to confess to false charges under torture!” Murong Qingyan sneered, “But what if your torture won’t do anything on me?”
“Enough! You said you needed evidence, we’ve provided it to you already, what’s the point of denying the fact?”
“I’m curious to find out what my punishment would be.” Murong Qingyan shrugged, she looked surprisingly calm and collected.
“Now that you’ve consumed the Elixir, as compensation you might as well present the Spiritual Treasure you’ve obtained from the contest.” Murong Xiong suggested brazenly, “I will spare your life on that condition, but I’m going to evict you and renounce you as a punishment. And I will void your Dark Power!”
Everyone nodded in agreement, of course this greedy bunch will see eye to eye with Murong Xiong on the punishment. Even Murong Rui who appreciated Murong Qingyan’s talent didn’t reject this.
