Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 250: Backstab

Xia Mian’s words carried a deeper meaning, but the guard seemed oblivious to her implications. With an earnest face, he said, "Miss Xia, you must have misunderstood our Divine Clan. We are always loving and kind, united as one family. With your extraordinary talent, becoming the Divine Master of our clan is obviously what everyone desires..."

"Enough, leave now!" Xia Liang impatiently interrupted the guard, his face cold, "Stop with the flattery and focus on real work!"

The guard looked embarrassed but dared not say more. He lowered his head and carefully exited the room.

As soon as he left, Lu Zechuan gently waved his hand.

At that moment, Ling Fei, who had been standing at the door, caught the hint and silently followed.

He originally did not want to interfere with the Divine Clan’s matters, but since this fire had spread to Xia Mian, he needed to address it properly.

"That person makes me feel really insincere." Xia Mian did not hold back, casting a casual glance in the direction where the guard disappeared and said directly to Xia Liang.

Xia Liang nodded, speaking thoughtfully, "That one’s Xia Yan’s man."

For a long time, Xia Liang believed the Divine Clan was as solid as a rock, united in purpose.

To his surprise, he was wrong.

Humans are greedy, filled with desires, especially men, who have a natural longing for power and status.

The position of Divine Master! Such a glorious position, it’s natural for some to covet it.

"Xia Yan..." The Great Elder lightly pursed his dry lips, moving them slightly, "On the night we were detained, Xia Yan spoke to the guard delivering our food for a long time."

The Second Elder seemed to recall something as well, "I remember now, the one who brought us food was the young man who just left!"

The Third Elder also belatedly squinted his eyes, "What’s that kid Xia Yan really up to?"

Xia Mian was recognized by everyone as the best successor to the position of Divine Master, but Xia Mian herself was never willing to take over the Divine Clan responsibilities. Now, this guy Xia Yan even tries to smear her!

If Xia Mian is driven away, Xia Liang might just tear him apart!

"Dear granddaughter, I’ll leave this to you, I need to visit the detention room." Xia Liang’s eyes narrowed deeply, a seed of suspicion planted in his heart that began to grow uncontrollably.

Xia Mian nodded.

This was originally an internal matter for the Divine Clan, so it was best left for Xia Liang to deal with.

Xia Mian requested paper and pen to write down a detox recipe, then handed it to Wei Wei to fetch the medicine.

Right now, everyone in the Divine Clan had their own agenda, and she had developed a trust crisis with its members.

Not long after Wei Wei left, Ling Fei hurried back, his face filled with urgency, "Something’s wrong, Young Master!"

Lu Zechuan gently frowned, "What’s got you so flustered?"

Ling Fei’s face turned pale as he panted, "It’s Miss Xia’s father..."

Lu Zechuan lightly furrowed his brow, "Weren’t you supposed to follow that Divine Clan member?"

How did this concern Xia Mian’s father?

"I did follow that clan member; he went to the detention room and secretly released Xia Yan and Xia Weiqing! Once those two left, they headed straight for Bishui Residence... coincidentally, they arrived when Miss Xia’s father was suffering from the aftereffects of using magic... Xia Yan went up to help, but then stabbed Miss Xia’s father!" Ling Fei spoke rapidly, finally clarifying the situation.

Upon hearing Ling Fei’s account, Xia Mian’s face immediately darkened.

Xia Yan, failing in his conspiracy, now resorts to direct schemes?

"The Divine Master is already there..." Ling Fei added, "Now Xia Yan and his father have taken Miss Xia’s parents hostage, forcing the Divine Master to compromise..."

Even before Ling Fei finished speaking, Xia Mian had already stepped out of the elders’ room.

No matter what, the reason Xia Zhun ended up like this had a lot to do with defying fate to resurrect her.

She might not acknowledge him as her father, but she couldn’t dismiss Xia Zhun’s sacrifice.

Lu Zechuan’s eyes narrowed deeply, and without a word, he followed her out the door.

The skill of his seemingly enigmatic father-in-law was deep and unfathomable, and yet he was so easily captured? Why did it feel so implausible to him?

Filled with questions, Lu Zechuan rushed to Bishui Residence only to see his deeply enigmatic father-in-law had been stabbed in the side by Xia Yan, with blood soaking his white robe.

In recent days, Xia Zhun’s health had already been poor, now he was as pale as paper.

Xia Yan, who had stabbed Xia Zhun, was gripping his neck, confronting Xia Liang with a proposal, "Uncle, choose between his life and the Divine Master Order, make your decision quickly!"

Xia Liang’s face instantly darkened, "Xia Yan!"

Xia Yan sneered coldly, "Don’t blame me for being ruthless. If I don’t act now, there’ll soon be no place for us in the Divine Clan!"

Previously, all the resources of the Divine Clan were directed towards Xia Zhun, only because Xia Zhun wasn’t interested in becoming the Divine Master!

There was still a chance for their lineage to compete, but now, here comes Xia Mian!

A child born to a mere mortal in the present world, how could they take the most prestigious and cherished position from them?!

"Do you want that position?" Xia Liang lightly raised his eyebrows, "Do you think you’re capable of carrying that burden?"

Xia Yan sneered, "Whether I’m capable or not isn’t determined by your flapping lips."

"Stop talking nonsense, hand over the Divine Master Order!" Xia Yan’s eyes glinted fiercely, his gaze growing increasingly manic.

Xia Weiqing, holding Song Juan hostage nearby, showed a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

His father’s sudden release left him completely unprepared mentally.

Once his father stabbed the Young Master, he and his father were already in too deep, forcing him to align with his father even against his will.

"Fine, I’ll give it to you now!" Xia Liang didn’t waste words and pulled a golden cloud-patterned token from his waist, "You better catch it!"

With those words, Xia Liang casually tossed the Divine Master Order towards Xia Yan!

Xia Yan’s eyes locked onto the token, filled with excitement.

Closer, closer!

As long as he had the Divine Master Order, even if the Divine Clan was dissatisfied with him, they wouldn’t dare act against him!

After all, in the Divine Clan, the Divine Master Order symbolizes the position and status of the Divine Master, holding it means being recognized as the Divine Master by the ancestors!

As long as the clan doesn’t act against him, he can slowly make them accept him!

Xia Yan’s vision was grand, but just as the token was about to fall into his hands, a streak of white light suddenly slashed across, severing his outstretched hand!

At the same time, Xia Zhun was swiftly pulled away from his grasp.

Simultaneously, Xia Weiqing’s legs were entwined by a vine, causing him to slip and fly sideways. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Song Juan was also swiftly shielded by Xia Mian.

Everything happened too quickly, leaving Xia Yan utterly bewildered until the excruciating pain from his severed hand brought him back to reality.
