“I’ve never wanted to see you make a fool of yourself,” Xiahou Xiang said.
Although the patriarch had appointed Xiahou Jie as the young master in the end .
But he never complained.
He was not jealous.
Xiahou Jie placed his hands behind his back and laughed.”Come on, I stole the position of young master that belonged to you. Don’t you have any hatred in your heart? Don’t you want to laugh at me?”
The forefather’s favorite junior was Xiahou Xiang.
Xiahou Xiang was also the one who had planned to make him the young master.
However, after killing his parents by mistake, the patriarch had changed the position of young master to Xiahou Jie out of guilt.
“It doesn’t matter who becomes the young master. I only hope that Xiahou divine gate can continue to prosper,” Xiahou Xiang said sincerely.
“Hypocrite!” “Human nature is selfish,” Xia houjie scoffed.”There are no people who have no desires.”
“You can think whatever you want.” “In short, I hope you can learn from this lesson and change for the better. Don’t continue to make mistakes,” Xiahou Xiang said lightly.
Xiahou Jie chuckled.
So what if he was wrong?
Would the old ancestor punish him for this?
No, because the patriarch owed him!
The two of them arrived at lake island, in the saber general Palace.
The patriarch and the core members of the clan were all here.
Xia houjie wasn’t flustered at all. He calmly stepped inside.
His face was like a spring breeze, and he bowed in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.”We pay our respects to the old ancestor,”
The Xiahou forefather stared at him with his aged eyes.”Grandmaster Xia has something to ask you. You are not to lie.”
“Yes!” Xia houjie was extremely calm. He smiled as he looked at Xia qingchen.
His expression was calm as usual.
He didn’t panic.
“Young master Xia, if you have anything to say, please speak.” Xiahou Jie smiled calmly.
Xia qingchen didn’t even lift his head. have you brought the person? ” he asked.
Xiahou Jie clapped his hands.
Two brawny men carried the unconscious Ouyang RUO, who was covered in blood, over.
“It’s here,”
Xia qingchen’s eyelids flickered. He looked at Ouyang RUO, whose arms had been severed and whose body was covered in blood. His gaze was calm.
It was within his expectations.
“Young master Xia, you must be wondering why he was injured. He was the one who attacked …”
But …
Xia qingchen didn’t have the intention to listen to his explanation.
She interrupted his mumbling and put down the teacup in her hand, “”For the sake of your old ancestor, I’ll spare your life, but cut off your arms!”
Eh?
Xia houjie shut his mouth, but he was still smiling.
He felt that there was no need to speak to Xia qingchen.
There was no point in talking to a person who didn’t even know his own strength.
Xiahou Jie turned to the patriarch and cupped his fists. old ancestor, I invited young master Ouyang to my residence as a guest, but he harbored ill intentions towards me and attacked me rashly. So, I followed the rules and broke his arms.
if I disobey the rules of Xiahou divine gate, I can be punished by you, forefather.
The core members of the divine gate did not feel that it was too much.
He was not executed for attacking the young master of Xiahou divine gate. He was only given a light punishment by cutting off his arms.
He did not break the rules of the gate of God.
Xia houjie took in the expressions of all the clansmen and knew that he had passed.
They were in such a state.
Not to mention the old ancestor.
He felt so guilty that he couldn’t bear to punish Xia houjie.
As expected!
“You did not do anything wrong, ” the old ancestor said slowly.
Xiahou Jie smiled.
It was an expected result.
He looked at Xiahou Xiang, meaning, “see, there’s no punishment.”
How could the great Grandmaster punish him for this?
After all, he had done it flawlessly, and no one could say anything about it.
however, since Grandmaster Xia wants to take your arms, then you should just cut off your own arms. The old ancestor said in a hoarse voice.
Eh?
The smile on Xia houjie’s face froze. He thought he had misheard.
He maintained his calm expression and repeated, “”01d ancestor, Ouyang RUO attacked me in public. Not only do I have a wound on my face, but the servants in the mansion can also testify.”
“If you don’t believe me, you can first examine my injuries, and second, you can summon the servants in the residence.”
“I, xiahoujie, do things according to the rules. I have a clear conscience.”
“You’re not wrong, but Grandmaster Xia has an order. Just follow it,” the Grandmaster said.
It didn’t matter if he followed the rules or not.
The important thing was how Xia qingchen wanted to deal with him.
What?
“I’m innocent, patriarch!” Xiahoujie said in disbelief. I have solid evidence!” He simply could not understand.
How could the old ancestor agree to Xia qingchen’s unreasonable request?
Putting aside the fact that the old ancestor had apologized to him and would definitely not punish him, he had done everything in his power and there was no problem at all.
At this moment.
“Didn’t I tell you before? you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have, so you have to be mentally prepared.”
Xia houjie’s eyes lost focus.
He felt that everything was out of his control.
He just had a conflict with someone of the same age who had no background.
Was it that serious?
He finally faintly realized that Xia qingchen was different from all the people he had met before.
It seemed that even the patriarch was afraid of him!
Rolling his eyes, he lowered his posture and said to the old ancestor, ” it was Jie ‘er who did not restrain himself and hurt young master Xia’s friend. Please give me a chance to turn over a new leaf, old ancestor.
He saw that the old ancestor’s expression was calm and there was no fluctuation.
He used his trump card. alright, I understand. I’ve let down my dead parents. I’ve brought shame to their faces.
Hearing this, the old ancestor’s face finally changed.
Xiahou Jie’s parents were a wound that the patriarch couldn’t erase.
He let out a deep sigh and clasped his hands toward Xia qingchen.
“Grandmaster Xia, could you give me some face and give Jie ‘er a chance to turn over a new leaf?” my Xiahou divine gate is willing to compensate you with other things.
Xia qingchen sighed inwardly.
He knew the Xiahou forefather would plead for mercy.
Xia houjie was too good at manipulating people.
He stared at Xia houjie and said indifferently,”a chance to turn over a new leaf, yes!” I’ll give you two choices.”
Xia houjie bowed and cupped his fists with a sincere look on his face. “Thank you for your magnanimity, young master Xia.”
He sneered in his heart.
So what if he had a special status?
Didn’t he still have to give in?
“The first choice is for you to cut off both your arms.” the second choice is for me to take your life!
Xia qingchen calmly stated the two choices.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
How was this a concession?
It was clearly getting worse!
“Young master Xia, are you forcing me?” Xiahou Jie’s expression froze.
The Xiahou forefather was a little embarrassed. Didn’t you say you would give him face?
“I’m giving you a chance to turn over a new leaf.” you’ve done something wrong, ” Xia qingchen said calmly. if you don’t accept the punishment, how can you repent? ‘
He slowly stood up.
An invisible aura was released.
“Do it yourself, or do you want me to do it?” Xia qingchen spoke coldly.
Xiahou Jie was furious.
He had already lowered his voice, yet Xia qingchen still wasn’t willing to let him off.
He had no choice but to turn to the ancestor. “Please save me, patriarch.” The Xiahou forefather’s face darkened.
After a long while, he sighed and said,”Jie Jer, Grandmaster Xia is not wrong. People should pay the price for their actions. Only then can they turn over a new leaf.’
He had forgiven Xia houjie many times.
However, did he ever regret it?
