'Xiao Muling?!' Everyone was surprised and couldn't believe their eyes. 'When did she become so… so extraordinary?'
They suddenly found Xiao Muling especially pleasing to the eye. Half of her face was covered by a mask, and the other half of her face was unreservedly revealed.
Such a beauty was rare in this world!
Xiao Qing was the first to come back to his senses. Seeing Xiao Muling at this moment, he thought of the aura she had displayed that day. From that day, he knew that Xiao Muling was different.
Xiao Liangxiao looked at Xiao Muling and clenched her fists, feeling shocked. 'I have never seen Xiao Muling like this. How could Xiao Muling have such a sharp edge! She is useless! Even if she wears a mask, it won't change the fact that she's ugly! I, Xiao Liangxiao, am the most outstanding genius of the Xiao family. What is Xiao Muling?
'Why do I feel oppressed by her? It must be an illusion!' Xiao Liangxiao kept telling herself this in her heart, but the jealousy in her heart was getting crazier!
Xiao Liangxiao looked weaker than usual because she hadn't fully recovered from the corridor's collapse. Actually, she had healed herself well. Otherwise, she might not even be able to get out of bed.
When Xiao Canglan saw Xiao Muling here, he strode over.
Seeing Ling'er sitting calmly beside Xiao Yi without any sign of weakness, Xiao Canglan felt even more relieved.
"Ling'er, didn't you go to the Hidden Pavilion?" questioned Xiao Canglan worriedly as he looked up at Xiao Yi.
"What do you mean?"
'Why did he bring my daughter here?'
Xiao Yi stared at Xiao Canglan, who looked like he hated him deeply. He pursed his lips and frowned. 'He is really… unreasonable when it comes to his daughter. Xiao Muling is still sitting there. If she were to stand or do something else, he would definitely kill someone.'
Xiao Liangxiao adjusted her mood and walked over with a worried look on her face.
"Ling'er, why did you anger Elder Xiao Yi? Hurry up and apologize to him." Xiao Liangxiao spoke gently, looking as if she was doing him a favor.
"Xiao Liangxiao!" Xiao Canglan looked at Xiao Liangxiao and warned her.
The smile in Xiao Muling's eyes deepened, but the temperature became colder.
"Elder Xiao Yi, am I the one who should be mistaken today?" she asked coldly and sarcastically.
Xiao Liangxiao just looked at her sitting there and said this, making everyone here think that she had made a mistake.
With this preconceived notion in mind, if she were to stir up trouble, nobody present would believe her except her father. Unfortunately, her move today probably wouldn't achieve the result she wanted.
"Xiao Liangxiao, I haven't said anything yet. How would you know whether Xiao Muling has caused trouble? Why did you ask the innocent to apologize?" Xiao Yi looked at them coldly and solemnly. 'Xiao Liangxiao has just arrived here and hasn't even figured out what happened. How could she say that Xiao Muling has made a mistake? Could it be that in her opinion, no matter what happened at the place where Xiao Muling was, it's all Xiao Muling's fault?'
Hearing what Xiao Ze said in the Hidden Pavilion, Xiao Yi was dissatisfied with Xiao Liangxiao. Now that she said this, Xiao Yi was even more upset.
Seeing their gazes, Xiao Liangxiao froze, and her heart started to beat irregularly. 'These two aren't just anyone else, and they won't be easily affected by my words. Xiao Yi is famous for being impartial and won't be affected by anyone's words. Xiao Canglan is on Xiao Muling's side and trusts Xiao Muling unconditionally.'
Her expression slowly returned to normal, and she looked a little wronged. "Ling'er, I'm sorry. It's my fault; I misunderstood you."
Xiao Liangxiao lowered her head pitifully. She lowered her head and sneered in her heart. 'There's no need for me to speak now. The four elders will naturally speak up for me. It has always been like this.'
Xiao Muling looked at Xiao Liangxiao coldly and sneered in her heart. "If you know your mistake, then admit it. But Xiao Liangxiao, don't do anything wrong in the future. If you do anything wrong outside the Xiao family, you'll die."
In the past, Xiao Liangxiao would often pull Xiao Muling out to admit her mistakes without any reason, even if Xiao Muling wasn't in the wrong.
Xiao Muling directly called out to Xiao Liangxiao, and her tone was very sarcastic.
Xiao Liangxiao frowned and looked up at Xiao Muling. 'She—she wasn't like this before…'
While Xiao Liangxiao was still thinking, Xiao Yi's voice rang out. "Xiao Liangxiao, you'd better change your bad habit. Don't act up like this in the Realm of Summoning."
His tone was full of warning, and his eyes and tone were full of dissatisfaction toward her.
When the other four elders saw Xiao Liangxiao's aggrieved look, their hearts ached.
In their eyes, Xiao Liangxiao was a genius, so how could she be wronged? But when they heard this, they fell silent.
Indeed. Xiao Liangxiao had to admit her mistake if she didn't know the reason. It was a big problem.
She was referring to Xiao Muling just now, and that was nothing. If somebody were to slander her in the Realm of Summoning or other places in the future, would she admit it?
Xiao Muling was right. Some mistakes could kill!
"We have to change this!" One of the elders walked out and spoke in a tough tone. The thought of speaking up for Xiao Liangxiao disappeared immediately.
The other three elders nodded in agreement.
Xiao Canglan looked at the four of them and snorted in his heart. 'The four of them still know how to say such things. How laughable.'
Xiao Liangxiao had been waiting for the elders to speak up for her, but she didn't expect them to criticize her.
Her eyes were filled with panic. Of course, she knew that she couldn't admit her mistake so easily. She was only making Xiao Muling do this!
Everyone was called over by Family Elder Xiao Yi. They rushed here and saw Xiao Muling sitting calmly beside Family Elder Xiao Yi!
Xiao Muling looked completely different from before. At that moment, Xiao Liangxiao thought of the prophecy from back then!
How could she tolerate this!? This was why she purposely said that to make everyone unhappy with Xiao Muling first. It had been like this since the beginning.
Xiao Muling was right, and everyone would think that she was wrong. Other than the head of the Xiao family, nobody else would stand on Xiao Muling's side!
'But now… why are the elders all criticizing me!?' Xiao Liangxiao clenched her fists under her sleeves and almost couldn't maintain the weak look on her face.
Xiao Muling looked at Xiao Liangxiao with a smile and said slowly, "Xiao Liangxiao, if you want to admit your mistake, you have to do it yourself. If you feel wronged now, don't blame me for bullying you again."
Xiao Liangxiao gritted her teeth and looked at her with hatred! 'Xiao Muling! What does she want!?'
The man behind her looked over with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"Xiao Liuce!" Xiao Canglan warned coldly when he saw him staring at Xiao Muling!
Xiao Liangxiao and Xiao Liuce felt their hearts skip a beat when they felt the powerful force. They were terrified!
