“I, Long Han, outwardly a righteous gentleman, secretly wicked and deceitful, for my own selfish desires, I ruined the innocent…”
Long Han's words stopped, momentarily stuck in his throat, unable to continue.
“Looks like you’re going to give up and start over?” Tian Ning didn’t care about his expression, nonchalantly said.
Feeling Wenren Yang's doubtful examination of the paper's contents, Long Han steeled his heart, knowing that this fig leaf couldn't be hidden!
“Ruined all the cultivation of the innocent Zhao family girl… had her tendons severed, just because she competed with Wenren Xue for a piece of exquisite clothing from Zhenxiu Pavilion, and then… ruined her life… I, I am like a rat in a gutter, clearly… I admire… Wenren Xue… yet I used such despicable methods…”
His words shocked Long Ye and Wenren Yang.
It wasn't that he ruined a girl's cultivation, but that he secretly admired Wenren Xue!
Long Ye's face darkened.
In the face of absolute power, he cowardly shifted his hatred onto Long Han: “I didn’t know you were so good at disguising yourself, to actually harbor such filthy thoughts toward Xue'er!”
Long Han could only stiffly continue reading.
Tian Ning wouldn't let them off easily.
Did they really think she didn't know what those two dragons had done to her after lunch two days ago?
It was quite a coincidence.
Jiujiu's sent bird happened to overhear this dark-hearted fellow, holding a pillow, lusting while frantically confessing the ugly things he'd done for Wenren Xue—apparently, he was thinking of her while using the pillow.
Seeing Long Ye's sudden outburst, it seems like the fish in Wenren Xue's pond are about to fight…
But who asked this group to come looking for trouble? Tian Ning had no psychological burden about it.
Even if Wenren Xue's pond exploded, it wouldn't concern her.
Seeing Wenren Xue's surprised expression: “Brother Ye, I really didn't expect Brother Han would actually like me…”
She's desperately trying to whitewash herself.
Long Ye, naturally, believed her blindly: “Xue'er, I know you’re focused on cultivation and don’t care about these things. It’s this disgusting bastard who’s harboring delusional thoughts! A child of impure bloodline, a bitch’s offspring…”
He cursed more and more viciously. Tian Ning didn't want to listen, and lifted her large box to throw it over there.
Long Ye, already injured, got another head wound.
“You!!”
“Shut up, you’re too loud. I can’t hear his apology.”
Long Ye suppressed his anger.
This caused Wenren Xue's about-to-be-uttered “Brother Ye…” to abruptly stop.
Long Han finished reading, his face full of despair.
He could almost foresee the future of being bullied by Long Ye.
This Tian Ning is so vicious!
Tian Ning didn’t even look at him, casually said: “Alright, you can get up.”
Then, looking at those on the ground: “Who’s next?”
If it was humiliation at first, after Long Han finished reading, it became fear. Who knows what else this girl wrote on the paper…
Tian Ning waited nonchalantly, not in a hurry, even took out melon seeds, sat on the chair and waited slowly, anyway, it wasn’t her who was kneeling.
“You… Sixth Miss,” Wenren Yang's tone softened, he learned to speak properly: “Fifth Miss is a girl, can you be more lenient?”
“Want to talk? Kneel down and read it again?”
Wenren Yang shut his mouth.
He’d better watch it, this girl is terrifying when she goes crazy!
Wenren Xue’s fingertips dug into her palm. She had always had a smooth life, never suffered such humiliation! This is the first time, no one helped her teach a lesson to someone who opposed her, even Long Ye couldn't!
If… if Master were here, with Master's ability, they would definitely help her teach this dead girl a lesson!
Tian Ning didn't know what Wenren Xue was thinking, even if she did, she wouldn’t be afraid.
She just paused her melon seed-eating, kindly said to the young prince: “I advise you to apologize and stand up first.”
Long Ye proudly turned his head in disdain.
“I’ll go.” Wenren Xue thought it through and spoke. Why should she rush? When she returned to Wanjian Sect, she would tell Master about her grievances, and Master would definitely help her get revenge! With Master's Transformation God Stage cultivation, Tian Ning, such a small ant, wouldn't even know how she died!
Tian Ning let them be, and gave the paper to Wenren Xue.
Even though Wenren Xue had been well-prepared, she was still angered by what was written on the paper.
But what could she do?
The person who could support her wasn't here, she could only resentfully read it.
Her resentment deepened, she would definitely make Tian Ning pay!
“I, Wenren Xue, a cuckoo occupying a magpie’s nest, am not as kind and innocent as I appear. I am insecure and fearful… afraid that the Wenren family’s true bloodline will one day… take back everything I stole. I gave my used things to my sister, deceiving myself that I am the only Miss of the Wenren family… letting her see me being cared for by my mother, being pampered by my brothers, letting her be jealous of me…”
It was like looking in a mirror, the paper described all of Wenren Xue's dark thoughts.
Even though she knew clearly that Long Ye, Long Han, and Wenren Yang present would absolutely not believe this.
But to lay her thoughts bare, to read them aloud.
The disgusting one wasn't anyone else, but herself!
As if her hypocritical skin was peeled off, exposing her ugliness to the sun…
Wenren Xue finished reading in immense humiliation, wishing to leave immediately!
But Long Ye was still kneeling, she had to persuade him: “Brother Ye, there’s plenty of time in the future, there will be opportunities.”
She almost said that she would kill Tian Ning later.
Now only Long Ye was left kneeling. The first three had finished reading, and Wenren Xue had given him a way out, so it wasn’t as difficult to accept as it was at first.
“Give it to me!”
His unruly appearance was like a monkey from Emei Mountain.
Tian Ning handed it to Wenren Yang nearby: “Give it to him.”
Wenren Yang took it and left, looking dejected.
He couldn’t muster any resistance…
The contents of Long Ye’s paper were similar to Wenren Yang’s, but it still angered him enough. He gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger to read.
But halfway through his reading, someone else came from outside the courtyard.
“Sixth Miss,” it was the Grand Elder: “The promised compensation for the previous matter…”
Seeing the scene in the courtyard, the Grand Elder was stunned.
“Y-young Prince…”
The several Dragon Clan elders behind the Grand Elder were dumbfounded!
What did they see?
Why was the Prince kneeling on the ground reading a piece of paper?！！
The Dragon Clan elders looked at them with complex gazes, completely unable to understand this behavior.
Tian Ning shrugged helplessly, she had already advised them… but they didn’t believe her.
And Long Ye’s proud head, which had refused to bow, was now shrunk in shame.
Too shameful for a dragon!
How could he openly admit his humiliation?
He could accept secretly telling his father after returning to the Dragon Palace, asking his father to kill Tian Ning, but he couldn’t accept making this matter public knowledge!
To have his face as the Young Dragon Prince trampled on the ground?
Even if they were of the same clan, he absolutely couldn’t let them know!
“This… this Prince was just playing a game with the Wenren siblings…” Long Ye stiffly lied.
As soon as the Grand Elder and others entered the courtyard, the White Tiger shrunk back into its cat form, and the oppressive pressure in the courtyard instantly dissipated.
This made Long Ye’s lie sound somewhat believable…
Right!
Bullshit game!
Look at the broken doors of this house, the young prince’s pathetic appearance, they’d believe it if they said they’d had a fight!
Long Ye didn’t have the patience to let them accept his explanation, changed the subject, and questioned back:
“What are you doing here?”
Several Dragon Clan elders glanced at Wenren Xue and Wenren Yang in the courtyard, their eyes shifty.
With outsiders present, even if it was alright to tell the Young Prince, they couldn’t say it now…
“What exactly is going on?” Long Ye, who had already stood up, looked at them suspiciously.
“Didn’t she not have a contract with the Dragon Clan?”
Why did these elders specifically come to find that dead girl?
“Actually… the Dragon-Summoning Stone appeared, and her contract partner…”
“Elder Yan!” Another elder hurriedly reminded him, there were other people here!
The Dragon King had already instructed that the Dragon Ancestor’s matter must not be known by a fourth human!
Elder Yan naturally knew, he gritted his teeth and took out a dragon egg: “Our purpose here is to escort the Sixth Miss’s contract partner.”
Dragon Clan Elders: 6
You’re quick-witted, kid!
Both sides engaged in extreme tug-of-war, lying to each other.
Wenren Xue and Wenren Yang looked at the dragon egg in puzzlement, Long Han was surprised, and Long Ye’s face was extremely ugly!
That egg… was the previously designated next Dragon King heir.
The Dragon King's first child!
The Dragon King had been full of anticipation, but the egg had been unhatched for nearly a thousand years, forcing the Dragon King to shift his attention to his other children…
But Long Ye knew very well that the Dragon King's fatherly love for that unhatched egg had not diminished to this day. The Dragon King not only hadn't discarded the egg that was impossible to hatch, but even let an egg occupy the position of the Great Dragon Prince, refusing to establish a crown prince.
It could be said that as long as something hatched from that dead egg, his most favored Dragon Prince's position would surely be lost!
Long Ye had been apprehensive!
Yes, towards an egg.
But after the passage of time, he had long forgotten a dead egg that posed no real threat, but unexpectedly, one day it would reappear!
Contracted by a human he wanted to kill…
Good, very good!
The things he hated were gathered together.
He watched Elder Yan hand the dragon egg to Tian Ning, and sneered: “Isn’t it delivered? Why aren’t you leaving yet?”
“…”
“Actually… Dragon King has something else for us to give to the Sixth Miss.”
Long Ye’s eyelids twitched: “What?”
Then he watched the Dragon Clan elders take out a pile of treasures that even he coveted: a top-grade Pill Furnace, top-grade magical robes, a ninth-grade spirit plant, top-grade pills… and hundreds of millions of high-grade spirit stones.
Long Ye couldn’t believe his eyes!
Others couldn’t help but gasp—
This is too extravagant!
You’d think Tian Ning was the Dragon King’s illegitimate daughter!
Even Long Ye, as the Young Prince, hadn’t seen so many good things. Wenren Yang and Wenren Xue’s eyes were even more fervent, watching Elder Yan put the things into a storage pouch and give it to Tian Ning.
As members of the Wenren family, did this mean they could also get a share of the spoils?
