“But you all…” Tsing Yi’s chilling smile swept across the many dragons present, “believed her words without a second though!”


  “And now, this woman is claiming I ordered her to harm Long Xi so that I can take over the position as chief with ease? Where’s the logic in that?”


  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 Longyu’s husband Xiang Luo claimed of the dragoness’s betrayal, they were all convinced with ease and never doubted the idea.

  But now that they’re thinking it through, it has quickly dawned on them that there are many potholes to the story.

  “It’s me! It’s my fault that Long Xi is gone….” Slowly closing her eyes, Tsing Yi revealed immense pain on the face: “If I was still here then none of you people could’ve harmed him….”


  But the dragoness’s wish could only remain a wish. Back then these dragons didn’t even give her a chance to explain before attacking her. If she didn’t flee for her life then the only thing left of her would’ve 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 dead….

  Suddenly, Tsing Yi shoots open her eyes with lines of blood filling up those pupils.

  Taking advantage of everyone’s absent mindedness due to her words, the dragoness had already come before Longyu’s face and stabbed her blade ruthlessly against that chest.

  Spitting out blood from the mouth, Longyu looked upwards in disbelief at that incredible contour. Shaking her head in a muttering tone: “Your injuries… it’s healed?”


  She didn’t get to wait for a proper answer, the reason being Tsing Yi had begun to slash down repeatedly at the wretched woman’s body.

  This was the dragoness’s form of retaliation. For all the years of indignation, frustration, and pain, she’s letting it all loose like a crazed whip towards the foe.

  “Elder Long Huang, what is the meaning of all this?” One of the stronger and braver dragons stepped over to ask one of the seniors who came back with Bai Yan’s group. “These people, where did you find them from? Weren’t your group investigating the lightning trial?”


  “Ahoomph!” Long Huang awkwardly coughs to stop the man from asking anymore dangerous questions. “That year, it was us who misunderstood Tsing Yi….”


  When he spoke, the senior made sure to measure the reaction from Bai Yan and Di Cang’s face. Seeing there’s none, the poor guy felt relieved and heaved a long sigh.

  “Misunderstood Tsing Yi?” The male frowns and continued to ask.

  “I ask you then, in addition to Xiang Luo’s word about her betrayal, what other evidence is there? Did you see it with your own eyes, or did you hear their conversation personally?”


  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.

  It’s exactly like the senior predicted, none of them had seen or heard it firsthand, only blindly believing one of their own about Tsing Yi’s betrayal.

  “And…” the senior’s mouth began to twitch at his own shamelessness, “if you don’t want our clan to be destroyed then keep your nose out of this matter. Don’t drag the clan down just because of Longyu and her husband’s crime!”


  That said, Long Huang didn’t forget to sneak another peek at Di Cang and Bai Yan.?
