Chapter 485: Chapter 487 Threat (Part Two)
Especially since they dared to lay a hand on Miss’s husband, even foolishly trying to force him to win over a member of the side branch…
In such a hierarchically structured family, the side branch members might nicely be called the young ladies and gentlemen of the Yao Family, but to put it accurately—they are the servants of the Direct Lineage!
As a servant, they even dream of stealing their master’s husband?
Isn’t that asking for trouble?
“Hold on!”
A cold and clear voice rang out in the hall.
Then they saw the girl dressed in white slowly stand up, her stunning face covered with a layer of chilliness, “Shouldn’t we settle some accounts?”
Yao Jing’s face changed, he snorted coldly, “What are you trying to say?”
Slightly narrowing her eyes, Mu Ruyue hooked up the corners of her lips and laughed softly, “Xiao Yun’s matter, as well as the issues concerning my elder brother Xiao Feng…”
Suddenly, Yao Jing’s gaze became unpredictable, his eyes tightly fixed on Mu Ruyue.
Xiao Yun?
This woman actually knew everything…
How laughable that they thought the descendants of Xiao Yun had no knowledge whatsoever.
“Xiao Yun?” Yao Yunqing raised her eyebrows, turning her head to look at Mu Ruyue, “Who is this Xiao Yun? What does he have to do with them?”
“Xiao Yun is my ancestor, and the one who was killed by Yao Tianyu’s forefathers. How absurd. Over a hundred years ago, these people forced Xiao Yun to marry into the Yao Family, and because Xiao Yun refused to comply, they crippled his Talent. And now, history repeats itself…”
If not for myself, if not for Yao Yunqing, would big brother have suffered the same persecution as Xiao Yun did years ago?
Thinking of that scenario, Mu Ruyue’s heart tightened, and a surge of murderous intent rose from the depth of her heart.
“So these people have already done this sort of thing more than once,” Yao Yunqing sneered coldly, her clear eyes filled with sharpness, “Who was it that crippled her ancestor’s strength?”
Yao Jing’s heart jolted, staring at Yao Yunqing in astonishment.
“Miss, this…”
His tone clearly hesitated.
Yao Yunqing’s gaze became even more incisive, pressuring the two of them directly, “Won’t say, will you? Fine! If you don’t say, I have my ways. Once I return to the Yao Family, I will command the extermination of all the people of your lineage!”
At this moment, she no longer seemed like her usual self. The sharp look in her eyes left Yao Jing somewhat dazed. Such an overpowering aura, he had only ever seen it on the Family Head.
Even Yao Yunqing’s own biological father never had such a powerful and compelling presence…
That gaze made Yao Jing’s heart tremble, and he felt a sense of dread. Before he could speak, Yao Tianyu’s voice came from beside him.
“I’ll say! I’ll tell you,” Yao Tianyu slowly closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling lightly, then she suddenly opened her eyes and said with a quiver, “Those people from that year, most of them have already died, leaving only one named Yao Yu.”
The life of a cultivator is unending, but even so, there comes a day when their lifespan nears its end…
“Yao Yu?” Yao Yunqing raised her eyebrows, sneering, “I will shortly send a message back to the Yao Family, reporting all of your deeds to Grandpa, and how Yao Yu will be disposed of will be decided personally by Grandpa! However, I can tell you in advance that Yao Yu will not be able to keep his strength, and as for you, Elder Zhang will send you back, so you need not worry too much. I won’t take your lives; at most, I will just impose a light punishment…”
The words paused slightly, and Yao Yunqing continued, “Yao Tianyu, since you can’t wait to get married, I happen to have a favor to return. The Zhang Family came to propose marriage last time, saying they wanted to welcome a side branch miss, and although Grandpa refused them, the Zhang Family’s status is second only to our Yao Family. The young master of the Zhang Family is equally splendid, so it wouldn’t be a loss for you…”
