Chapter 481: Chapter 483: The Exposure of the Conspiracy (Part 8)
Xiao Family Hall.
Mu Ruyue’s eyes were cold as she looked at Third Young Master Xiao, a chill present in her gaze, “Speak, whose idea was it in the end?”
If she hadn’t arrived by chance, the consequences would have been unimaginable…
The look in Third Young Master Xiao’s eyes swept across the many elders in the hall, and he puffed out his chest as if he had found a powerful backer, “I did this for his own good. If he could become the son-in-law of the Yao Family, imagine how many benefits that would bring. But he is so ignorant of his own good fortune, even daring to reject the Miss of the Yao Family.”
Mu Ruyue’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashing across the depths of her eyes.
“Ever since I entered the Xiao Family, you’ve been dreaming of taking my life. From then on, I never intended to let you off. It’s just that I’ve had no intention of killing you yet. Now that you dare to move against my elder brother, even if I have to obliterate the Xiao Family, I will take your life!”
Throughout several lifetimes, her family was always the softest spot in her heart.
If anyone dared to make a move against them, she would not hesitate to slaughter these people…
“Ha ha, you think you can?” Third Young Master Xiao raised his head and laughed wildly, “Girl, I admit that you are indeed a genius, but what of that? Our Xiao Family has the Alchemy Tower as our backing!”
“Alchemy Tower?” Mu Ruyue was taken aback. This was indeed a surprise to her.
“Correct,” Third Young Master Xiao nodded his head, “The Tower Master of the Alchemy Tower is my son-in-law. If you dare to touch me, the Alchemy Tower will certainly not let you off.”
In truth, these words were meant to scare Mu Ruyue; after all, the girl knew nothing, and it would not do to let her act so recklessly without instilling some fear in her.
“Thump!”
“Thump, thump, thump!”
But just then, a series of footsteps came from outside the door.
And all of a sudden, a mighty team of a hundred warriors surrounded the entire Xiao Family. Even though Third Young Master Xiao was not part of the Alchemy Tower, he recognized these guardians of the Alchemy Tower.
Moreover, each of these guardians possessed the strength of Advanced Innate rank.
Before the banquet, Mu Ruyue had used Elixirs to raise their level. Now, united, they possessed enough might to kill ten warriors at the Great Perfection strength.
Under Third Young Master Xiao’s gaze, the hundred-man battle team swiftly approached Mu Ruyue and called out respectfully, “Tower Master, we have come to carry out your orders!”
Tower Master?
Third Young Master Xiao’s face stiffened bit by bit, his eyes widening in shock, “You are the Alchemy Tower Master? Impossible, the Tower Master is said to be an Advanced Mortal-Rank Alchemy Master. How could you possibly be the Alchemy Tower Master? Moreover, the person I saw that day was clearly…”
A man with a domineering aura that touched the heavens.
“Originally, I did not want to show myself in front of the world, but all of this—has been forced upon me by your Xiao Family,” Mu Ruyue said with a cold laugh, “My elder brother is my blood-relative, and I will never allow anyone to harm him in any way. Anyone who violates this will die!”
With the word “die” falling from her lips, a piercing chill emanated from the woman’s body.
This time, Third Young Master Xiao was truly frightened.
What kind of place was the Alchemy Tower? It was a gathering of powerful Alchemy Masters; even counting the Mortal-Rank Alchemy Masters alone, they were beyond measure, with Master Wushan himself choosing to join freely.
Yet this girl was the Tower Master of the Alchemy Tower?
“How dare you!”
A loud slap on the table resonated as the elder suddenly stood up, laughing coldly, “Girl, don’t forget that you are a member of the Xiao Family, and you should call him Third Uncle. Is this the attitude you have towards your own family now? And we don’t believe he’s done anything wrong. Even if you are the Alchemy Tower Master, what of it? The lady in question is from the Yao Family. No matter how strong you are, how can you be compared to the Yao Family?”
