Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 239: When Disaster Strikes, Everyone Flees
The man in the cloak once studied under Yukun Mountain, so his Taoist techniques carried the traces of Yukun Mountain. Although he was an outer disciple, he used the reputation of a disciple from Yukun Mountain to deceive others, and his attire was typical of Yukun Mountain disciples.
"Grand Ancestor, I have said everything I need to say. It was my mistake to not recognize you and offend you, Grand Ancestor. Please, Grand Ancestor, spare my life!" The man in the cloak said as he knelt towards Xia Mian and continuously kowtowed.
He seemed deeply afraid that his pleading was not sincere enough and might upset Xia Mian.
Beside him, Qin Cui was watching this scene, utterly incredulous.
How could this be?
Isn’t Xia Mian the eldest young lady of the Divine Clan?
When did she become Sun Xiao’s Grand Ancestor?
"Sun Xiao! What are you doing? This woman killed your daughter!" Qin Cui hissed angrily. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"Shut up!" Sun Xiao raised his head, glaring sinisterly at Qin Cui, "You claim she’s my daughter, but is she really my daughter? Do you have any evidence? You’ve been with so many men, don’t pretend I don’t know!"
Sun Xiao’s words pierced Qin Cui’s ears, making her tremble all over.
The Heavenly Maiden Clan has high standards for love; if it’s not true love, they won’t bear children for the other.
This fact is not unknown to Sun Xiao!
Yet, even knowing this, Sun Xiao still slanders her!
"Sun Xiao! You bastard!" Qin Cui’s eyes were red with anger, and she felt an immense grievance, enduring all these years for what?
"You call me a bastard, don’t think I don’t know about your affair with Xia Liang!" Sun Xiao sneered, "What, now that he’s not acknowledging it, you’re coming to me?"
Qin Cui, seething with rage, trembled all over. The incident with Xia Liang was purely an accident.
Xia Liang is the Lord of the Divine Clan; she couldn’t afford to provoke him, and it’s best not to spread what happened. She chose to endure.
She never expected that what she thought no one knew would be unearthed and thrown in her face by those she cared about one after another!
Qin Ru using that incident for her benefit was one thing, but what right does Sun Xiao have to say such things?
A man who only sows and doesn’t nurture!
Qin Cui, breathing heavily with anger, exclaimed, "Qin Ru is your daughter! Now that she was killed, not only do you not avenge her, but you take your anger out on me! You’re truly a waste!"
Even though Qin Cui cursed him as a waste, Sun Xiao dared not disrespect Xia Mian.
After all, this was the honored figure he had kowtowed to all night in front of her portrait when he first became a disciple!
The respect and fear of this figure were already deep-seated in his bones!
"Shut your mouth!" the man in the cloak cursed viciously, "If you want to die, that’s your business, don’t drag me into it!"
He still hasn’t lived enough!
After cursing Qin Cui, the man in the cloak immediately turned to Xia Mian with a flattering smile, "Grand Ancestor, I didn’t realize you were coming. I’ve offended you, please forgive me, Grand Ancestor!"
Seeing the man in the cloak smiling with his face full of wrinkles, Xia Mian slightly frowned.
"I have nothing to do with her!" As soon as the man in the cloak saw Xia Mian frown, he immediately realized the key issue and quickly denied any connection with Qin Cui.
Watching the disappointing behavior of the man in the cloak, Qin Cui felt utterly let down.
Back then, Sun Xiao was handsome and charming, capturing her heart with sweet words and deceiving her into giving herself to him, resulting in her pregnancy.
After that, Sun Xiao disappeared, and she naively thought he was in trouble and wanted to leave him a legacy!
Now, with the Mystical Sects battling the Divine Clan, Sun Xiao suddenly reappeared, and she thought it was out of concern for her safety. Now it seems Sun Xiao clearly wants to seize the opportunity to gain something from this great battle!
This realization caused Qin Cui’s heart to sink to the bottom.
"Sun Xiao! All these years, I was wrong about you!" Qin Cui gritted her teeth and began to instinctively retreat.
The current situation was very unfavorable to her; Qin Lian had asked her to leave the battlefield and bring the Great Elder over, but she acted on her own, intending to deal with Xia Mian.
Now in this predicament, it seemed even the frontline battles would not go favorably, and she herself could hardly escape!
"Trying to leave?" Xia Mian slightly curled her lips, a hint of mischievous light in her eyes.
When scheming against her, weren’t they quite bold? Now, they want to leave?
Is it that easy!
Qin Cui’s face was filled with caution, and before Xia Mian could speak her next words, she waved her hand, causing the space before her to suddenly swirl in mist.
Xia Mian lightly squinted her eyes, a trace of derision in her gaze.
She had placed a Tracking Talisman on Qin Cui, so even if Qin Cui ran to the ends of the earth, Xia Mian could still pluck her out!
"Grand Ancestor, I know where she’s gone!" Sun Xiao immediately raised his head, eager to earn merit.
Xia Mian looked at him with a faint smile.
One moment, this man wanted to kill her; the next, he didn’t hesitate to betray his ally.
"Grand Ancestor, I’m familiar with Xuandu Mountain! She said earlier she’d bring out the Divine Clan’s Great Elder, I know where the dungeon is in Xuandu Mountain!" Sun Xiao didn’t care what expression Xia Mian was wearing.
He only knew that if he couldn’t please Xia Mian and make her happy, it would be his death!
Qin Cui was merely one of the many women he had played with. Before, he promised to help Qin Cui kill someone just for those one thousand Heavenly Spirit Stones.
Avenge his daughter? Don’t be ridiculous!
Who knows whose child that daughter truly is!
"Take us!" Xia Mian did not waste words with Sun Xiao.
Having someone voluntarily lead the way was better than finding it by herself.
Sun Xiao immediately scrambled up from the ground, nodding and bowing as he said, "Grand Ancestor, follow me!"
It seemed the members of the Heavenly Maiden Clan had gone to confront the enemy, as there wasn’t a single person from the Heavenly Maiden Clan in the auction hall.
Sun Xiao led Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan out of the auction hall, descended the long steps of the hall, then walked towards a peculiar building on the left.
This building was considered peculiar because it resembled an Egyptian pyramid.
Its presence in this location seemed entirely out of place with everything around.
At the place resembling a pyramid, Sun Xiao stopped and slightly raised his head, examining the top of the pyramid before counting thirty-three bricks from the left, thirty-three from above, thirty-three from below, and thirty-three from the left, lightly pressing the spot where the four directions converged.
As he pressed his finger down, suddenly the face in front of the pyramid began to move with a series of clicks.
Xia Mian squinted her eyes, and with a curled lip, smiled lightly, "You seem quite at home with the mechanisms of the Heavenly Maiden Clan!"
Sun Xiao accompanied the smile, "It’s all because of that woman Qin Cui told me."
Qin Cui truly loved him; she showed him almost all the hidden places of the Heavenly Maiden Clan.
Xia Mian looked at him deeply, "Then she truly loves you!"
Sun Xiao awkwardly lowered his head; he obviously heard the sarcasm in Xia Mian’s words, but hearing it was one thing; he didn’t dare lose his temper with Xia Mian.
