Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 192: Being overly attentive for no reason
As their words fell, three elderly men with white hair and beards appeared in the courtyard.
Their expressions were stern, and their gaze sharp. When their eyes swept over the Divine Clan Guards, the guards didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
"Three elders, someone has come to cause trouble in our Divine Clan." The woman’s eyes flickered, a cold and sharp smile on her lips as she slowly fixed her eyes on Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan.
She had not seen these two before but knew of their existence.
The man was a descendant of the Wood Clan and had once been engaged to the eldest daughter of the Divine Clan.
The woman was the illegitimate child Xia Zhun had with that slut in the mortal world.
These two, with their lowly statuses, didn’t deserve any relationship with the Divine Clan. They both should die!
Only then did the three elders seem to notice the presence of outsiders, slowly looking at Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan.
With just one glance, the three of them were stunned. Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan were extraordinarily handsome with outstanding temperaments. After so many years of encountering countless people, it was rare for someone’s mere presence to pressure them, and these two were indeed among the rare few.
"Who are you?" The Great Elder didn’t immediately show hostility.
He was very good at discerning people, knowing who could be offended and who couldn’t, his intuition would tell him the answer.
"Great Elder, don’t you think this young lady looks a lot like someone?" Xia Weizhang nonchalantly interjected from the side.
As soon as Xia Weizhang spoke, the three elders suddenly had a flash of insight, "Yes, she does look like someone!"
"Who does she look like?" The Second Elder frowned, starting to think.
"Like the former Young Master!" The Third Elder smacked his head in realization, eyes alight with joy, "Did the former Young Master have a child outside?"
This is ... wonderful!
Previously, when the Young Master was wandering in the current world, he developed feelings for a human woman. Later, after various happenings, he shut himself away in Bishui Residence upon his return.
Subsequently, the Lord of the Divine Clan chose Qin Ru, the third young lady of the Qin family, as the marriage alliance object. Qin Ru managed to briefly engage romantically with the former Young Master, claiming to be pregnant with his child, thus becoming the main lady of the Divine Clan.
Not long ago, the Lord of the Divine Clan unexpectedly disappeared, leaving the clan without a leader. The younger generation were all racking their brains to become the new Lord, doing their utmost to impress the elders and secure their position.
However, compared to the previous generation, this younger generation was indeed not up to par!
Even within the Divine Clan’s special space, they couldn’t adeptly manipulate everything!
The elders worried endlessly over this, and in desperation, had no choice but to invite the one from Bishui Residence to come forth.
Unfortunately, due to past incidents, the one in Bishui Residence occasionally experienced mental clarity issues, often falling into a stupor, making reconciliation impossible even if they wished to.
Now, the three elders gazed upon Xia Mian with exceedingly kind expressions, each looking as if they had seen Tang Seng’s flesh.
Xia Mian felt uneasy under their gaze, frowning in displeasure.
"Young lady, may I ask what brings you to our Divine Clan?" The Great Elder asked with an aunty-like smile, his gaze upon Xia Mian was as kind as could be.
This scene somewhat exceeded Qin Ru’s expectations. She frowned in disbelief, looking at the Great Elder in surprise, "Great Elder, her forced entry into our Divine Clan is an invasion!"
The Great Elder stretched his words, "Ah, you can’t say that. If this young lady is indeed the former Young Master’s lost lineage, she’s merely finding her roots!"
Qin Ru nearly spat blood in anger at the Great Elder’s words.
Had she called them out to support Xia Mian?!!
"Great Elder, that’s preposterous! This woman’s background is unclear and low-born, how can she be compared to the child I bore!" Qin Ru’s words were sharp, and her gaze carried displeasure as it fell on the Great Elder.
The Great Elder stroked his beard slowly, saying, "Madam, those are harsh words. The young miss is already seventeen. Since she started Qi Condensation at the age of one, for over ten years, the spiritual power she can control is still less than that of children from other branches. With such aptitude, we’re not comfortable entrusting the Divine Clan into her hands!"
As the Great Elder finished speaking, the Second and Third Elders quickly chimed in, "Indeed, the young miss has a poor temper, poor character, and poor ability..."
"Shut up!" Xia Weiyang couldn’t hold it anymore.
She was still the young miss of the Divine Clan!
How dare they belittle her to her face!
Did they think she was dead?
"What do you mean by this?" Qin Ru asked coldly, "Are you planning to drive us mother and daughter from the Divine Clan?"
Qin Ru wore a slight, cold smile, "Don’t forget who begged me to marry your Young Master in the first place!"
The Qin Family has two branches, one specializing in Beast Taming, the other in Defying Fate.
One clan is the Beast Taming Clan, the other the Heavenly Maiden Clan.
Qin Ru comes from the Heavenly Maiden Clan, with the ability to Defy Fate for others, albeit not as refined in skills compared to her two elder sisters.
However, this was unknown to the people of the Divine Clan, so when the Divine Clan sought an alliance with the Heavenly Maiden Clan, she took advantage of her sister’s leftovers.
The elders exchanged glances at her words.
Initially, the Divine Clan valued the Heavenly Maiden Clan’s ability to Defy Fate, thus arranged to marry Qin Ru, the third young lady of the Qin family. They didn’t expect Qin Ru to be a mere charlatan! Even her daughter turned out to be a good-for-nothing!
"Madam, saying this is meaningless, isn’t it? When the Young Master was deceived by an ordinary woman, we aimed for an alliance with the Heavenly Maiden Clan considering the circumstances, times change..." The Great Elder was not at all perturbed by Qin Ru’s words, responding rather casually.
"Ha, Great Elder, your Divine Clan truly excels at shamelessness!" Qin Ru sneered.
The Great Elder stopped attending to Qin Ru, instead turning to Xia Mian with a continued smile, "Young lady, you are the Young Master’s biological daughter! Since you’ve come to the Divine Clan, don’t leave anymore, alright?"
Xia Mian squinted slightly, "Where is my mother?"
Xia Mian had been here for quite some time and, although she vaguely suspected Song Juan hadn’t faced any mishaps, she still hadn’t seen her, which left her somewhat uneasy.
"Your mother?" The Great Elder frowned, "Your mother is here too?"
Under the bewildered look of the Great Elder, Xia Mian sneered, "Wasn’t it the young miss who couldn’t tolerate us mother and daughter, repeatedly sending people to trouble us, and even abducting my mother?"
Upon hearing Xia Mian’s words, the Great Elder’s expression turned complicated. Wasn’t Xia Weiyang shooting herself in the foot?
If she hadn’t provoked Xia Mian, Xia Mian wouldn’t have been compelled to reach the Divine Clan, and they wouldn’t have discovered Xia Zhun had an extraordinarily gifted child in the modern world!
"Rest assured, young lady, as long as madam is still in the Divine Clan, we guarantee she won’t suffer even a hair’s harm!" The Great Elder quickly promised.
